Chapter 517
Jia Kui's eyes turned slightly, and he said slowly in a steady voice:
"General, you don't need to panic."
"In my opinion, these must be the rebels from Jincheng. They are resentful of the general, so they launched a rebellion."
"They must want to seize the South Gate and welcome Liu Bei into the city."
"The general should immediately mobilize the reserve troops to suppress the rebellion in person and crush the rebels' attempt in one fell swoop!"
Xiahou Yuan was shocked when he heard this, and his body shook.
Then, he showed anger and cursed:
"I have known for a long time that these Jincheng people have no loyalty to our great Wei Kingdom!"
"Order to mobilize the reserve troops to personally attack the South Gate and quell the rebellion of the Jincheng people!"
Xiahou Yuan brandished his sword and jumped on his horse, leading the Wei army to rush to the South Gate like a gust of wind.
At the South Gate
Xu Yi stood on the top of the city wall, looking at the South Gate from afar.
A line of defenders along the city wall.
All the troops, all stared at the South Gate.
The sound of killing was faintly heard in the distance.
This indicated that a fierce battle was taking place.
At first.
They thought that the Han army was attacking the city, and they were all nervous, fearing that the Han army would move to the South Gate.
However.
The news soon came back, saying that it was not the Han army that was attacking the city, but the Jincheng generals who rebelled and intended to lead the Han army into the city.
Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and his nerves relaxed a little.
"There are at most 3,000 soldiers from Jincheng."
"Yu Kan has more than 4,000 men under his command, and the general has thousands of elite reserve troops available. They should be able to quell the rebellion..."
Xu Yi whispered to himself, with a glimmer of peace in his eyes.
He thought too easily.
Just when he relaxed his vigilance.
There was a sudden movement on the main street.
I saw a group of people, hurrying towards the south gate.
Xu Yi's nerves tightened instantly, holding the sword and shouting:
"Who is under the city, tell me your name!"
No response.
The group ignored his shouting and continued to move forward.
Xu Yi's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he shouted again:
"Whose subordinates are you? Stop immediately!"
The team continued to move forward.
But a general stepped forward and responded:
"I am Hao Zhao, the general's order to come to reinforce!"
Hearing the name of Hao Zhao, Xu Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking closely by the firelight, it turned out that they were all Wei troops.
That general was indeed Hao Zhao.
Although the two were not from the same hometown, they worked together in Jincheng after all. Xu Yi had some exchanges with Hao Zhao, and the two seemed to have drunk wine once.
However, their friendship was very shallow, and it could not be considered a deep friendship.
And it was not surprising that Hao Zhao appeared at this time.
Now that rebellions were raging in the city, Xiahou Yuan was afraid that the Han army would take advantage of the situation to attack, so he sent a team of soldiers to strengthen the defense of the South Gate.Strange.
But why was Hao Zhao sent?
At this time, Xu Yi could not help but feel a little suspicious.
In theory, Hao Zhao is from Jincheng.
And the people who started the rebellion are from Jincheng.
At such a sensitive moment, even if Xiahou Yuan sent troops to reinforce, he should have sent people from Guannei to lead the army to reinforce him.
But why (Li's) (Li's) did Xiahou Yuan insist on sending Hao Zhao.
Isn't Xiahou Yuan afraid that Hao Zhao will also participate in the rebellion?
Thinking of this, Xu Yi could not help but become alert again.
But.
While he was thinking, Hao Zhao had urged his subordinates to quickly approach the east gate.
A moment ago, nearly a thousand Wei soldiers had quickly approached the city.
And from the looks of it, this group of people seemed to be in a hurry.
Looking at this situation, Xu Yi's heart suddenly shook, and he suddenly realized something. .
