Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 426 General, something big has happened

"Do I look like a fool?"

Li Zhi's question made the adjutant's mouth twitch slightly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I am speaking kindly to give you face. If you are unwilling to take it seriously, don't blame me for being rude. Once I launch the Shanzi Camp to attack the city, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

When Li Zhi heard his adjutant say they were going to attack the city, his eyebrows raised slightly.

You know, Li Zhi doesn't have any troops available at the moment. Duan Heng and others were sent by Li Zhi to drive away the people approaching the city gate.

Once the Shan Camp really launches an attack on the city, he will not be able to defend these five cities. His bluffing will be immediately exposed and his true colors will be revealed.

Moreover, the sound of their attack on the city will surely attract the attention of the people in the city, and then Li Zhike will be faced with being attacked from both sides.

Although he was a little panicked, Li Zhi knew that he must not show any weakness at this moment.

If the other side found out that he was pretending, they would attack the city without hesitation, and Li Zhi, who had no troops to defend the city, would definitely be caught by them immediately, and he would not be able to escape.

So, Li Zhi's expression remained unmoved and he pretended to be calm.

He waved his hand and said viciously, "Want to attack the city? Okay, then you better move faster. I will kill one person every other breath. Let's see how many people are still alive after you capture the city!"

"you dare!"

The adjutant's eyes widened in shock. He never expected that Li Zhi would be so resolute and say such cruel words.

He knew that although the Shan Camp was an elite division, it was not an easy task to attack the city with only two thousand people. Moreover, he had no idea how many troops Li Zhi had deployed in the city.

The outcome of this game was unpredictable, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Li Zhi showed a look of disdain on his face, and said in a cold tone: "You can try it and see if I dare!"

Li Zhi paused and continued slowly, "There are many dignitaries in Wukou City. If you push me too far, I will kill them all. I want to see how your Shanzi Camp can survive in Wei!"

"you!"

The adjutant was so angry at Li Zhi's words that his face turned red. His eyes were wide open and he pointed at Li Zhi. His lips were trembling, but he was speechless for a moment and couldn't say a single harsh word.

He knew in his heart that what Li Zhi said was not false. There were indeed many people of noble status in Wukou City. If an accident happened, he would definitely be implicated and might even be buried with them.

Thinking of this, the adjutant felt a pang of fear. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to go back to find Xiahou Shan.

After all, Xiahou Shan is the head coach, and only he is qualified to make such an important decision.

The adjutant looked at Li Zhi deeply, gritted his teeth and said, "Just wait for me!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and led the soldiers of the Shanzi Camp away in a mighty procession.

Looking at their receding backs, Li Zhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But he knew it was far from over.

If Xiahou Shan successfully wiped out the Qiongqi Camp and returned with victory, he might really launch an attack on the city at all costs.

Therefore, Li Zhi must act immediately and make all preparations for defending the city, while also planning a retreat route just in case.

 …

The adjutant hurried back along the way he came. Not long after, he saw Xiahou Shan and his group fleeing in a panic from afar.

Xiahou Shan and others were seen staggering and looking panicked, as if there were a ferocious beast chasing them from behind.

The adjutant was shocked when he saw this. He quickly quickened his pace and rushed to Xiahou Shan. He asked anxiously, "General! What is going on? Why are you in such a mess?"

His eyes were full of confusion and worry, and his gaze swept back and forth between Xiahou Shan and everyone else.

Xiahou Shan's originally dull eyes suddenly lit up the moment he saw his adjutant.

He suddenly raised his head and laughed, with a bit of madness in his laughter, and then shouted: "You came at the right time, follow me and kill all those crazy people who don't care about their lives..."

As he spoke, Xiahou Shan subconsciously looked back. The soldiers from the Qiongqi Camp who had been following them like ghosts had now disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it! They ran away again?" Xiahou Shan got so angry that his face turned red and he started cursing.

The adjutant was completely confused and had no idea what had happened. But he knew that the situation in Wukou City was the most urgent and serious.

He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiahou Shan, and said anxiously: "General, don't worry about this for now, something big has happened in Wukou City!"

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Shan subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

"Wukou City has been captured!" the adjutant said anxiously, with deep worry in his tone.

With a "clang", Xiahou Shan stood there in a daze. The saber in his hand fell instantly and hit the ground heavily.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and he stood there in a daze, as if his soul had been taken away.

He might be able to accept being defeated by the Qiongqi Camp, but the loss of Wukou City was undoubtedly a catastrophic disaster. He knew that he would be nailed to the pillar of shame and would never be able to turn things around.

The adjutant standing by saw that Xiahou Shan looked like he had lost his soul and was standing there stupidly, and he became more and more anxious.

He shook Xiahou Shan's shoulders vigorously with both hands and shouted, "General, cheer up! The Shanzi Camp still needs your leadership!"

Fortunately, the adjutant's shaking and shouting worked, and Xiahou Shan gradually came back to his senses. He slowly raised his head, looked at the adjutant, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How many troops do they have in Wukou City?"

The adjutant was slightly startled when he heard this question, then he shook his head helplessly with a wry smile and said, "That man is extremely cunning. He never let his men show up. He has always been the only one talking to me. I really don't know how many people he brought..."

Xiahou Shan couldn't help but curse: "What a fucking thief!"

Then he asked, "Did he say anything?"

The adjutant then recounted to Xiahou Shan in detail his conversation with Li Zhi.

After hearing this, Xiahou Shan was also shocked.

If it was really as the adjutant said, and Li Zhi was allowed to massacre those nobles in the city, the consequences would be disastrous. Not to mention the adjutant, even he himself would be in an irreparable situation.

Although he was born in the Xiahou family, those people might not want to take his life, but to settle this matter, the Xiahou family must pay a heavy price. And all these disasters were caused by him, so this huge loss will naturally be counted on him.

The image of himself being lonely and desolate in his old age suddenly emerged in Xiahou Shan's mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.

He didn't dare to think about it any further, and suddenly ran towards Wukou City, shouting, "Let's go, make peace with him! Give in! No matter what, we must do our best to suppress this matter!"

The adjutant nodded heavily.

He turned around and called out to the soldiers of the Shanzi Camp, and hurried towards Wukou City again.
