Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

Chapter 141 The person behind you

With the news of another disastrous attack coming one after another, Lei Hao could hardly sit still. The attack was barely stopped when it was getting dark.

"City Lord——"

The voice of the guard who had been ordered before came. Lei Hao could not sit still in the tent, so he directly lifted the curtain and looked outside where the voice came from.

He saw his guard stumbling towards him with a bloody person.

Lei Hao recognized at a glance that this was Zuo Qun, his deputy general who had been with him for many years.

"What happened?" Lei Hao took a few steps forward and lifted up Zuo Qun's face. Blood was gushing out of Zuo Qun's forehead and sliding down his forehead, looking extremely miserable.

There was an arrow stuck in his back, at the back of his shoulder blade. Judging from the bleeding, it had been going on for a long time?

"The water source and granary you mentioned were heavily guarded. The people that Deputy Zuo Yuan brought there were all wiped out. When I went there, Deputy Zuo Yuan just managed to escape..."

As the guard said this, he also helped Zuo Yan.

"Quick, take him down to heal his wounds first. When Zuo Yun wakes up, notify me." Lei Hao instructed the man, and then said, "You, call the people above the rank of centurion to come over."

All the important people on Lei Hao's side came. Lei Hao gloomily told them all about what was happening around him. Then someone below spoke up: "City Lord, according to what you said, Yizhou had already taken precautions and knew about your deployment in advance?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present felt a jolt in their hearts, because these were the only people who knew about Lei Hao's plan, and if it was leaked, it would be these few people.

"Not sure, but I can't rule out this possibility." Things have come to this point, Lei Hao calmed down and began to plan for the next step.

"Jiang Shiping of Yizhou has been in office, and his achievements are mediocre. Although he is not a good official who is incorruptible and dedicated to serving the people, he is not a wicked person either. It is because he is so mediocre that we have always trusted him to guard Yizhou, and only come to take it now."

Lei Hao's adviser spoke, his eyes moved slightly, and then he said: "Before that, didn't our people always report that there was no unusual movement?"

“That can only prove three things.

One: Our people rebelled.

2. Jiang Shiping hid too deeply for our people to detect him.

Three: Jiang Shiping has a master behind him. "

Every word the counselor said made sense, and by this point everyone's thoughts gradually became clear.

Jiang Shiping was a mediocre person who got promoted through imperial examinations. Although he had some experience in martial arts, he had never been on a real battlefield. Otherwise, they would not have thought that Yizhou was a sure thing before the war.

The battlefield is ever-changing and all means of warfare are used deceitfully. This is not something a scholar like him can understand.

But now, they are trapped by such people. Who would believe it if they told others about it?

"Our people have infiltrated Yizhou, and there are people supervising them on both sides. We have their handles and weaknesses in our hands, so they will not easily rebel."

Another person took over.

As soon as he said this, some people continued to use the method of elimination.

"We already knew Jiang Shiping very well before we set out. Such a person can disguise himself for a while but not forever."

No one said anything about the last point.

Because there was only a little bit left, and this time, they were defeated not by Jiang Shiping of the Yizhou Jiang family, but by an unknown person behind the scenes.

After all, these people are from aristocratic families, and their faces don’t look very good.

"City Lord, in my opinion, we should rest for a night and discuss a strategy before attacking the city."

"Yes, we must take Yizhou no matter what."

Lei Hao snorted coldly: "Don't you think I don't know? Didn't I call you here just to discuss how to attack Yizhou next?"

Then everyone discussed it together.

Before they could come to an agreement, someone outside hurriedly said, "City Lord, has Deputy Zuo Yun woken up?"

Lei Hao immediately left everyone behind and walked towards Zuo Qun's tent.

When he saw Zuo Qun, his breath was weak. When he saw Lei Hao coming, Zuo Qun immediately wanted to stand up but was held down by Lei Hao.

"Lie down and tell me what happened?"

Zuo Yin lay on the bed and narrated his experience word by word.

He followed Lei Hao's order and went to the granary with a thousand people.

But just as they met the contact persons, they opened the door and arrows flew all over the sky, piercing hundreds of them like hedgehogs.

Knowing that they were ambushed, Zuo Quan immediately ordered his men to turn around, thinking that since the granary could not be taken, the water source had to be poisoned as well.

But when they arrived at the water source, they saw a long line of people lying in ambush, waiting for them to fall into their trap.

Because they had ambushed in advance, most of them died tragically, and the rest who escaped were also hunted down.

It is conceivable that if the guard had not taken Lei Hao's order to go out and investigate, Zuo Qun would still be dead somewhere unknown.

Lei Hao was silent for a while after listening, and then said: "You should recover from your injuries."

After saying that, he went out.

He already knew very clearly that he had encountered a strong enemy, who could be a person, an organization, or even a force.

He didn't understand the other person because he was hidden in the darkness.

Thinking of this, Lei Hao felt anxious and forced himself to calm down.

Currently, no news is being transmitted out of Yizhou City, and Jiang Shiping still has many tricks up his sleeve.

Are we just going to give up like this...

By the way, where did the refugees in front of Yizhou City go?

When he set out, he sent people to execute a stranglehold on the refugees in front of the city wall of Chenzhou. The refugees were frightened and fled in all directions. After that, there was no problem of refugees.

But what about the refugees in Yizhou?

Jiang Shiping is a man of great benevolence and righteousness. Would he kill all these refugees? Or has he already accepted them into the city?

But do they have the ability to accept people into the city?

He turned back and immediately ordered his men, "First, give them a night's rest order, and have them guard everywhere to prevent anyone from sneaking up. Also, have someone investigate where all the refugees at the gate of Yizhou have gone to."

Lei Hao didn't believe that these refugees would just disappear for no reason.

There must be something behind this.

Jiang Shiping received the news on the city wall and saw people setting up camp in the distance. He knew that Lei Hao might not attack again tonight.

He also issued an order: "Let people be on guard everywhere, and everyone should take a rest first."

"By the way, clean up the battlefield outside and collect all the usable items."

Lei Hao also had the same idea as Jiang Shiping, and both sides cautiously took what they needed from the edge.

Jiang Shiping knew that he had already held out for one day, and he felt pressured when he thought that he didn't know how long he could hold out.

"City Lord, we captured a man, a refugee from before. He said someone asked him to pass on a message to you."

Jiang Shiping turned around suddenly and asked, "Where is the person?"

"I've brought them up." said the soldier, revealing the refugees behind him.

"I, our leader said he has something to bring you."
