"Now, General, I have another important matter for you to attend to."
Hulan Zhuo quickly cupped his hands in respect and replied, "Please speak, General."
With a stern gaze, Hulanmu said, "Take a team of men and carefully scout the surrounding area to see if there are any enemy ambushes. This task must be handled with utmost caution; there can be no mistakes."
Hulan Zhuo immediately knelt on one knee and responded loudly, "Yes, General. Rest assured, I will do my utmost."
He then swiftly gathered a group of strong soldiers and rushed outside the city.
Hulan Zhuo led his men cautiously as they searched the vicinity. After half a day's investigation, he finally returned to report to Hulanmu, "General, I have scouted within a ten-mile radius and found no signs of enemy ambushes."
Hulanmu nodded slightly, a barely perceptible expression flashing in his eyes as he softly said, "Alright, you may go rest now."
The doubts in Hulanmu's heart dissipated. Slowly ascending the city wall, he gazed far into the distance, his sight crossing numerous obstacles until it settled on the densely packed and imposing tents in the distance.
That was the encampment of the Wu Kingdom Army. Looking at those tents, a slight smirk appeared on his lips as he thought to himself: These fools dare to provoke us here; they are simply seeking their own demise.
Just then, the sound of galloping hooves approached from afar.
Turning to look, he saw several swift horses racing towards the city like a gust of wind. As they neared the city gates, the leading figure shouted loudly, "Envoy from Wu Kingdom has arrived! Please open the city gates!" The voice was booming and echoed through the air.
On the city wall, Hulanmu stood imposing in heavy armor. After recognizing the visitors, he pondered for a moment before decisively giving the command: "Let them enter the city!"
As the heavy gates slowly opened, the group rode in.
Before long, they arrived at Hulanmu's residence. Entering the hall, they found Hulanmu seated at the center with dozens of burly soldiers arranged neatly on either side. Each soldier held a sharp blade, their expressions fierce and exuding an aura that instilled fear.
Upon seeing Hulanmu, the envoys quickly bowed and greeted him in unison, "Envoys from Wu Kingdom pay their respects to Hulanmu."
Hulanmu's face was as dark as water, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd as he coldly asked, "What brings you here?"
One of the envoys stepped forward, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied, "General, my lord the Fourth Prince has stated that if you are willing to lead your men to surrender, our Wu Kingdom will treat you with great respect and assign you important duties."
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud bang echoed through the hall as Hulanmu slammed his hand down on the table.
Fury surged through him, his eyes wide with rage as he pointed at the envoy and shouted, "Preposterous!
You speak nonsense and attempt to sow discord! I would rather die than surrender. Do you truly think you can persuade me to yield?"
The soldiers flanking him were equally incensed upon hearing his words. They glared at the envoys with fury in their eyes, drawing their swords in unison. The cold gleam of steel flashed ominously, as if they were ready to charge forward and tear these envoys apart at any moment.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the grand hall reached a boiling point, tense and charged with impending violence.
