Chapter 2153: Strange
He knew this place like the back of his hand. After the city was attacked, he had to rely on Prefect Liu to appease the people and stabilize the situation.
Only Prefect Liu had such influence.
The citizens would only feel reassured when they saw a familiar face like his.
Sun Pu firmly believed that the residents of the city were loyal to the empire and would never side with Shao Yunduan. He was determined to save them in this battle.
Everything had been arranged for Shao Yunduan and the Huaixi province!
However, just before dawn, as they were preparing to set off, a junior officer responsible for guarding the catapults and siege ladders stumbled in. His face was pale, and he stammered in fear as he reported what he had witnessed…
Good luck and favorable omens were crucial at the start of the campaign. Seeing the officer rush in with a pale, terrified expression, Sun Pu was initially very displeased and felt like reprimanding him.
But upon hearing the officer’s report, he was left dumbfounded.
“I think you haven’t woken up yet. What nonsense are you talking about? Do you realize I could have you executed for demoralizing the troops?!”
“General, please forgive me! Even if I had a hundred lives, I would never dare to spout nonsense! Everything I said is true. I am just as puzzled—Ah!”
Sun Pu, furious, kicked the leader aside and rushed over like a whirlwind.
He wanted to personally expose the supposed lie.
Unexpectedly, what he saw was chaos and a huge pit…
“What’s going on?!”
Sun Pu’s eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of murderous intent.
How unlucky!
He was on the verge of a breakdown just before setting off!
The leader, still staggering, knelt down with a long face and said, “General, I don’t know what happened either! I—Ah!”
Sun Pu kicked him again and drew his sword, pointing its tip at him as he scolded, “You don’t know? The commotion was huge! How dare you say you don’t know anything! Are you deaf or blind?!”
The leader, writhing in pain and nearly blacking out, remained kneeling and begged for mercy, “I am innocent, General! I wasn’t slacking off! But… but this is Huaixi province, and Shao Yunduan is so cunning. He must have sent someone to sabotage us! Yes, it must be him!”
Sun Pu’s heart skipped a beat. He actually believed it a little.
Shao Yunduan was indeed a cunning man. He would definitely do such a thing!
Perhaps he had really schemed against him.
But…
“Even so, you didn’t put in enough effort! If you were truly vigilant and doing your job, how could you only realize something was wrong at this moment?! Killing you wouldn’t be wrong at all!”
Sun Pu raised his sword, genuinely wanting to kill.
His trusted aide hurriedly stopped him and reminded him, “General, the battle is imminent. It’s not appropriate to shed blood now. Please reconsider.”
Sun Pu sneered and retracted his sword. He ordered his men to tie up the leader and everyone who had been on night duty the previous evening.
“I’ll settle the score with him after I take down Huaixi province!”
“General, should we proceed with the attack on the city…?”
Another general asked softly.
Sun Pu’s face darkened again.
He was so angry he felt like he was about to vomit blood!
The mobilization had already been mobilized, and they had already ordered everyone to gather. They would set off in an hour. Of course, they had to fight this battle!
