For many people, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and no one can sleep soundly.

This is true for court officials, major families, ordinary people, etc.

Because the enemy will definitely arrive in the early morning.

The chief assistant Ji Wuchang has already been holding on, but how long can he stay?

It was already deep in the night, but there were still many yamen with lights...

Guo Zude was sitting in the yamen and felt extremely uneasy. He was Sima, who was in charge of military affairs in the Great Chu court.

Speaking of which, his position is a bit awkward. According to his official position, Sima is the main position in charge of military and political affairs, but he was appointed as the chief minister, and was appointed by the imperial teacher Ji Wuchang, and later he was appointed as the Shangzhu Kingdom, which was appointed by Dugu Xin.

In this way, his rights were divided.

Dugu Xin died in battle, and His Majesty ignored the government and ordered Ji Wuchang to be in charge of government affairs and military affairs. In other words, Ji Wuchang has now become the most powerful person in the Great Chu.

But Guo Zude couldn't figure out what the Prime Minister was thinking. His Majesty did not do anything, nor did he do it...

In defense affairs, no one is allowed to interfere, even Sima, is undermined.

He was already summoning the yamen from various yamen in Shouchun to go to support and guard the city walls.

But it was not taken seriously at all.

Guo Zude knew that the Prime Minister was actually a bit heartbroken.

In order to implement Your Majesty’s strategic plan, all military supplies were transferred to the gateway fortress.

Shouchun wants no one, no one, no things, and there seems to be no other end except waiting for death...

Even so, Guo Zude still felt that he could not just stay here like this...

"Come and prepare a car, let's go to the West City Wall to take a look."

I haven't heard anything now. It's probably because the enemy hasn't come yet.

Guo Zude thought, and soon drove to the west city wall by car.

The more you go here, the quieter it becomes.

The West City Wall will be the main attack place for the enemy. Residents in nearby areas have moved away in the past few days. This place has also become a military control area, where materials will be stored for soldiers to rest.

But Guo Zude discovered something was wrong.

Too quiet!

The guard battle is about to begin, why don’t you even make any noise?

Even the torches on the city wall were almost gone.

"Sir, something seems to be wrong."

The subordinate spoke, "Why does it feel like there is no one?"

"Go over."

When I arrived at the city gate and below the city wall, I found it.

No one!

There is not a single figure!

Guo Zude couldn't help but shivered. This scene was so weird that it made him feel panicked!

How could there be no one?

Where did the guards go?

Did it disappear out of thin air?

"Sir, I found several bodies."

The subordinate reported that Guo Zude was busy over and saw a familiar face under the reflection of the torch.

"Dugu Hong? How could he die?"

Guo Zude's expression changed drastically.

Dugu Hong is Dugu Xin's eldest son and the heir to the Dugu family.

Several corpses were found one after another, all of which were important generals, and they were killed without exception.

Who killed them?

An enemy?

But the enemy has not yet attacked.

Where is the Prime Minister going?

Guo Zude's face was panicked, and the defending troops were gone. What should we do if the enemy was fighting?

"Sir, the city gate is open!"

"What? The city gates are all open?"

Guo Zude was stunned.

He thought of a possibility.

The city gate is open to go out, but now there is no one in the city guarding, which only means that they all left!

Who can have the ability to take everyone away?

It seems that there is no one else except the Prime Minister!

Ji Wuchang escaped!

Looking back on his recent actions, Guo Zude has become more sure of this fact.

"He...he...actually!"

"Hurry, go to Ji Wuchang's mansion immediately to see if he is there."

Guo Zude made an arrangement immediately.

This is not a trivial matter, it must be confirmed. If it is true, then...

He thought, but was stunned.

At this moment, it was already Mao hour, and it was close to Ling Chen, and the sky had turned white. With this light, you could see a figure appearing not far from outside the city.

It is dense, as if it is endless.

The enemy, the enemy is coming...

"Shouchun, it's here!"

At the same time, Wang Kang took a deep breath and murmured softly.

After two days of marching, we finally arrived.

This is because of the slight slowdown along the way. Wang Kang must ensure that the soldiers have enough energy to attack the city.

Today is the day when Xiang Lintian holds the ceremony, but it is not too late, and it is still time...

"Shouchun is here!"

"Brothers, Shouchun is here!"

Many people shouted excitedly that the war finally reached its last step and saw the dawn!

From this location, it feels like a landlord's courtyard is ahead.

And here is the capital of Da Chu, Shouchun!

"Shouchun's city wall doesn't seem to be very high, and it doesn't reach the level of Jianmen Pass."

"There are five great passes, so why do you have such a high city wall?"

"Shouchun is originally the largest city in the mainland, with a large coverage area and a large population. In order to facilitate living, it is positioned as an open city."

"How do you know this?"

"I read it in the book!"

"Then isn't it easy for us to attack Shouchun?"

"That's natural!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone was chatting and excited.

Being able to attack here is definitely a creation of history. This can be regarded as an honor for everyone and an indelible deed in his military career...

"Master, we are about to arrive in Shouchun, how can we fight?"

"Master, the last general asks to lead the main attacker. Give me two hours to capture Shouchun!"

"Lu Zhao, you still need two hours, I will only need one hour!"

"Master, the last general asks for his life to lead his troops to attack!"
