In the luxurious "Imperial Palace" of Shimajiri Osato Castle, Shannan Wang Talu was holding a bowl of wine in his hand, half-squinting his eyes, admiring the wonderful dance of a dozen girls in front of him.
A man hurriedly walked in, stood in front of Ta Lu, and whispered a few words.
"What did you say?" Suddenly, he suddenly stood up and stared at the man in front of him.
The strong body exudes incomparable majesty like a weight.
His face was ashen, and the anger in his eyes was filled with strong murderous intent.
The man was startled and said quickly: "I just heard someone say that something earth-shattering happened in Guzhichuan City this morning."
"Oh. Really? Then hurry up and tell me." King Shannan sat back down and continued to taste his wine, but the anger on his face did not diminish at all.
"All the garrison troops outside Gushikawa Castle disappeared. It is said that it was because of a sudden attack by a mysterious force."
"What?"
"What?"
King Shannan and the many generals beside him were extremely shocked when they heard this. They all stood up and looked at the man, their eyes widening.
"This is real?"
"Who did it? King Zhongshan sent people to attack?" everyone asked, their voices full of disbelief.
You must know that although the outer garrison only numbers a few thousand, they not only guard the outside of the city, but most importantly they serve as the eyes and ears of Shikawa Castle.
He was suddenly attacked like this, and he actually needed to hear about it to know?
What kind of terrifying strength is this?
"My subordinates don't know. It is said that the guards outside Dali City disappeared inexplicably. As for the attackers, they slaughtered the entire first brigade of Dali City overnight."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
If a large group was slaughtered, doesn't that mean that Guzhichuan City has been completely lost? For such a big thing, the first group didn't send anyone for help?
Upon hearing this, the surprise on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of calm.
The garrison outside the city was attacked by someone, Thaksin.
But to say that the entire corps was massacred, what else could it have been like except that the shameless villain King Zhongshan deliberately spread rumors and cholera army and people's hearts.
"Who did you listen to?" He put down the wine bowl in his hand, raised his head and stared coldly into the other person's eyes.
This person is a squadron leader under his command. He suddenly came to his hall and made lies to confuse the public. He must have been bribed by the King of Zhongshan.
"My subordinates got up in the morning to buy wine and talked with the shopkeepers about delivering millet to the common people in the tavern." The man hurriedly defended.
"After all, you are also a squadron leader in charge of hundreds of people and nearly a thousand people. Why do you need to buy a drink yourself?" He snorted coldly and shouted at the guard next to him: "This person is deceiving everyone with his evil words.
Go out and kill him."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really heard that my subordinates went to buy wine." The man knelt down on the ground with a "pop" and begged loudly for mercy.
"Pull it down and kill it." He said without any explanation and waved his hand towards the guard.
The guards were already accustomed to Taru's violent behavior. Without saying a word, he dragged the man on the ground and walked out of the door.
As the man's begging for mercy got farther and farther away, the other generals next to him looked heavy.
The first brigade was massacred, this kind of thing is definitely not groundless.
Someone should immediately contact the First Brigade to confirm the authenticity of the news.
However, Taru, who had just dealt with a squadron leader, would dare to make this suggestion right away.
A general looked around, raised his right hand to cover his stomach, and frowned fiercely as he looked at Talu, who was still thinking about drinking and having fun: "Your Majesty, I feel uncomfortable in my stomach and would like to go for some relief."
"Go on, go on, you have the nerve to tell me such indecent words." He waved his hands with disgust on his face, without even looking at the other party, and continued to enjoy the singing and dancing in front of him.
The general stood up quickly and left in a hurry.
This person is Hirota, the captain of the third brigade under King Shannan. He is mainly responsible for the defense of Shimajiri Osato Castle.
If Gushikawa Castle is lost, the enemy's next target of attack is likely to be Shimajiri Osato Castle.
The king can live happily, but he can't.
If the enemy comes to attack, you will be the first to be captured.
Even if the enemy cannot capture Dali City, if there is a slight problem in the city defense, it will be difficult for the king to deal with him.
If the problem were bigger, it was hard to say whether his life could be saved.
When they reached the gate of the city, a squad leader who was responsible for guarding the gate saluted Hirota respectfully: "Captain."
"Yes." Guangtian nodded, looked at the soldiers at the city gate, and then looked along the door opening to the garrison outside: "Is there no problem outside?"
"Go back to the captain, there's no problem." The squad leader reported hurriedly.
Although everything was calm and calm, Guangtian still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He walked out through the city gate, stood at a slightly higher place, and looked at all the garrison fortifications stationed outside the city.
After confirming that there was no problem, he looked in the direction of Guzhichuan Castle.
There is no reason for a squadron leader to risk his life to joke with the King about the massacre of the entire First Battalion.
Although Guzhichuan City was only thirty miles away, there was nothing wrong. They only reported to the king the current situation in the city every ten days and a half.
This frequency is actually a bit too low.
No, I have to send someone over to take a look, so that I can feel more at ease.
Thinking of this, Guangtian turned around and looked at the squad leader who had been following him: "Go and call your squadron leader over."
"Now?" the squad leader asked softly.
"It's not now, it's tomorrow? Go quickly." There was something on his mind, Guangtian's temper was a bit irritable, and his voice was loud.
The squad leader was stunned. Captain Hirota doesn't usually talk like this. What's wrong with him now?
But he didn't dare to refute at all, he bowed his body and hurriedly responded, then put it aside in a hurry.
After a while, a middle-aged man came over.
He arched his hands towards Guangtian: "Captain, are you looking for me?"
"Has a large group of people come from Guzhichuan City since yesterday?" Hirota asked in a deep voice, staring at the other party.
"No, it's not time for the first team to report yet," the man replied.
"How many more days until they come to report?" Guangtian asked again.
"There are still three days." The man stared at Guangtian, "Captain, you have never cared about the affairs of the first team, why do you suddenly ask when they will report?"
"Some people say that a large group was massacred."
"Impossible." Before Hirota could finish his words, the man chuckled, "Guzhichuan City is only thirty miles away, and there are more than 7,000 people. Not to mention our Shannan territory, no one has the ability to conquer the city.
They slaughtered everyone, and even if there were any, if something happened, they would be too stupid to come and ask for help? There are more than 7,000 people, and no one can escape? It must be someone spreading rumors and telling nonsense."
"I also hope it's just a rumor." Guangtian shook his head gently, "But the rumor won't be groundless, let alone spread so outrageously. Otherwise, you can send someone over to take a look and report the situation when you come back.
with me."
The man looked embarrassed: "Captain, you also know that Captain Buqi has a disagreement with the king, and he doesn't like us very much. If we send people over casually, I'm afraid he will seize the opportunity to embarrass his subordinates again."
"Bu Qi's opinion is that he disagrees with the king sending the Seventh Brigade to Daming. There is no big conflict with us. You can just send people there. You don't need to enter the city, just take a look at the city walls and the defenses on the city gate from a distance. No.
After seeing what happened, I still feel uneasy."
"Okay, then my subordinates will arrange for smarter soldiers to go and have a look."
With that said, the man turned around and left in a hurry.
