Seeing the scene descend into chaos once again, Luzi shook his head with a smile. This was what they called instant karma—bringing trouble upon oneself! Since both sides outside were no longer paying attention to this area, it was best to seize the opportunity to leave the city.
The citizens in the alley had already confirmed that this group identifying as the Zhao Army had ulterior motives, so their focus shifted entirely onto these individuals. They shouted and called for people in the crowd to quickly notify others to come help; the more, the better! Of course, they could also bring along any weapons that had already been distributed for city defense. The current situation was crystal clear: those with weapons tended to speak loudly.
The Zhao People, trapped on both sides, had a very clear objective this time, so there were always eyes on Huayang Jun and his group. When they noticed the soldiers starting to maintain order and prepare to depart, the angry crowd quickly abandoned their fury and got ready to intercept.
The familiarity—or lack thereof—between them soon became evident. As more armed citizens rushed in to support them, their confidence surged. Upon realizing that this group of Zhao Army aimed for Governor Feng, they instinctively brandished their weapons to form a human wall for protection.
Seeing the originally favorable situation turn completely around, Su Zhao couldn't help but feel furious after several failed attempts to break through. "Don't say I didn't warn you! We are the Zhao Army sent here to save you! Those people are your real enemies! If Feng Ting escapes, the Qin Army will come in and slaughter the city!"
After distributing weapons, the citizens looked at their arms and found Su Zhao's words particularly grating. They had clearly decided to abandon Shangdang County; how could just a few dozen people claim to save them? Outside there were hundreds of thousands of Qin Army soldiers; did they not fear their own words would backfire? With this conflicting mindset, their tone became less courteous.
"Shut your mouth! What do we care about your Han affairs?!"
Seeing that their target was already getting into a vehicle and preparing to leave, Su Zhao's subordinates quickly raised their weapons, wanting to rush into the crowd and attack. Su Zhao hurriedly stopped them, indicating that the alley was already overcrowded. If it weren't wartime, citizens wouldn't be armed with weapons and bows. Now that everyone had weapons in hand and reinforcements were arriving from outside, they naturally dared not act recklessly; the consequences of a fight would be unimaginable. This was clearly setting themselves against all the citizens of the city!
At this moment, as the crowd parted to give Huayang Jun a path, Su Zhao had no choice but to declare that his group had no hidden agenda. Since you all agreed to let Feng Ting leave the city, then let him go. As for what happened afterward, it had nothing to do with us!
Noticing that this aggressive group was softening their stance, cheers erupted from within the crowd. Only those who understood reason could survive long; this was an age-old saying! Dare to touch our Governor Feng?! Today we won't let you live!
Seeing Huayang Jun and his group swagger out of the alleyway, Su Zhao's subordinates couldn't help but stomp their feet in frustration. "My lord! What... what should we do now?!"
If one wanted a quick death, there were plenty of ways! Su Zhao firmly decided not to provoke public anger and waved his hand indicating that there was no need for further discussion on this matter. Since they couldn't act against Huayang Jun inside the city, they would just wait until he left before taking action! After making up his mind, he seriously stated that he still had official duties to attend to and suggested everyone disperse if there were no further matters at hand.
Official It is normal to have official business, as long as you don't have any ideas about Governor Feng, you can do whatever you want. Reluctantly, a path was cleared for the group of conspirators to exit the encirclement.
Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared on the street, catching the attention of passersby. A group of people was walking ahead, followed by hundreds of armed citizens wielding knives, guns, and clubs. Su Zhao, who was leading the way, understood the intentions of those behind him, so he dared not head towards the city gate and could only go in the direction of Government. For now, that would have to do; as for how to escape, they would wait until nightfall.
Wang Jian turned back to look at the increasingly distant city gate of Changzi County City, exhaling deeply to calm his heart. "Haha! We made it out! I thought we would have to fight our way out!"
Luzi patted Chang Yu on the shoulder, signaling him to quickly put on his military helmet. Then he glanced at the dozen brothers around the carriage who were urging their horses forward, feeling a sense of exhilaration at their escape. Just as Wang Jian had said, it turned out to be unexpectedly simple. If that hidden force only had one group of people, then they could not pursue them out of the city at this moment. However, if there were multiple groups, then this matter would require further consideration.
But regardless, it was an undeniable fact that they had escaped Changzi County City. As for how to respond next, what was meant to come would eventually return. He knew well that even if civilian organizations had excellent equipment, they would not dare to confront regular troops directly. The urgent task was to quickly find the Qin Army forces that had come to support them; as long as they could reunite with the main force, there would be no formidable opponents left aside from the Zhao Army.
Thus, he urged everyone to hurry along and strive to reunite with the main force of the Qin Army at the earliest opportunity. In fact, even without Luzi saying anything, these dozen younger brothers were already well aware of it. As they galloped forward, they hoped their army would suddenly appear ahead.
When Wang He dispatched the Army, he did not inform the main force whom they were going to support. Therefore, only the commanding general received secret orders: whoever encountered Luzi should immediately cease hostilities and protect him back to the Qin Army Camp.
Even those who did not recognize Luzi were informed that he was in charge of intelligence for this campaign. To reach the rank of general naturally meant understanding that this department was crucial for commanding operations. The intelligence department was equivalent to the eyes of the Army; losing it would render them blind. These unsung heroes deserved respect; venturing deep into enemy territory was extremely perilous. Sometimes knowing there was no support, they would still step forward without hesitation.
As news from the first wave of intelligence personnel reached various Cavalry Units, generals realized that Luzi was in danger. Since this secret existence had become urgent, its form must have been imminent! They all quickly changed course directly towards Changzi County, aiming to encircle this county town in the shortest time possible.
When scouts from the Zhao Army reported on the movements of the Qin Army to Commander, Lian Po clearly felt a bit out of sorts. Ever since receiving minimal gains from deploying Pocket Tactics, he planned to withdraw his command post thirty miles back. The reason for his immediate decision to relocate was due to a contingent of Qin Army Cavalry unexpectedly launching an assault on their main camp without any warning. This confirmed for him that the purpose of this operation by the Qin Army was indeed a decapitation mission; retreating quickly to avoid confrontation was necessary.
After completing a revised battle map based on the movement routes of the Qin Army, Lian Po looked down at it and suddenly felt confused. All attack arrows pointed towards one direction, gradually transforming what had originally been a flat layout into a single point. That point was where Huayang Jun's residence was located—Changzi County City!
Could it really be that old scoundrel Feng Ting plotting against the Crown Prince of Qin!
The standard answer suddenly appeared before General Lian Po, filled with the bizarre attack routes of the Qin Army.
