However, no matter how hard Bai Feng checked, he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary.
From afar, the Shanyue stronghold seemed to be constantly observing its surroundings. Many sentry posts had been built at the top of the stronghold, and there were at least two people standing on each post, taking turns to patrol.
Obviously, the Shanyue people were still extremely vigilant against Bai Feng and his men.
They were afraid that Bai Feng would suddenly launch a surprise attack and catch them off guard.
After all, the previous strongholds had been defeated in this way.
What Bai Feng didn't know was that he had become a man-eating demon in the Shanyue people's mouths.
This news was passed down by the Shanyue leader.
He wanted them to be extremely vigilant against Bai Feng's arrival and not think that they would be passive and lazy in battle just because they had fewer people.
Another reason was to find a suitable excuse for the loss of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the 30,000 cavalrymen who had been beaten to a pulp.
Otherwise, someone would definitely use this as an excuse to challenge his authority as a leader.
This kind of thing had happened many times before.
Most of the Shanyue people made a living by farming and hunting, and they weren't cultured at all.
They had always believed in their leader's words and believed them directly. They really thought that Bai Feng was the incarnation of a demon who had come to reap their souls and take their lives.
Moreover, the soldiers under his command were all malicious spirits that could take lives.
Otherwise, how could a mere 20-odd people defeat more than 20,000 people?
How could they not be injured under the encirclement of 30,000 people and even beat them to a pulp?
However, although the Shanyue people believed in ghosts and gods, they were different from the people of the Central Plains.
Although they were afraid of ghosts, they weren't afraid of ghosts coming to their doorstep.
This was because they believed that with the protection of the gods and with so many people, they weren't afraid of any malicious spirits at all.
The gods above would punish Bai Feng sooner or later.
…
When Bai Feng saw that there were no abnormalities, he relaxed and rode back to the stronghold.
At the same time, Tai Shici's army finally arrived.
"Sir, Sir!"
"I came late with the reinforcements. Please forgive me, Sir!"
Tai Shici chuckled when he saw Bai Feng.
Bai Feng waved his hand.
"Don't worry, there's still time!"
"General Ziyi actually brought so many soldiers?"
Looking at the soldiers behind Tai Shici, Bai Feng couldn't help but feel happy.
No matter how he looked at it, there were more than ten thousand soldiers.
It seemed like Tai Shici was still holding back!
Bai Feng's original plan of having ten thousand people was indeed a little tight. However, with so many people now, the plan would definitely be able to proceed more smoothly.
Tai Shici smiled.
"Haha, I've brought 50,000 soldiers this time!"
"After you left, I quickly recruited more soldiers so that I could help you as much as possible."
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"Where did the remaining 30,000 soldiers come from?"
"Could it be that General Ziyi snatched that Ling Tong?"
Tai Shici immediately said righteously.
"The soldiers that Gongji brought this time are all young masters' soldiers and their servants. They have no fighting power at all."
"Even if you give them to me for free, I don't want them."
"These 30,000 soldiers are all veterans who have fought with me in Yuzhang for many years. They're all close to me."
"Now that they heard that I'm going to start a rebellion, they're all willing to follow me."
"However, I still left 20,000 soldiers to guard the city to prevent Sun Quan from discovering them."
Bai Feng nodded.
"General Ziyi is indeed thoughtful."
"Most of these 50,000 soldiers are citizens of Yuzhang. It's not good to let their families be in danger."
While Bai Feng and Tai Shici were discussing their grand plans, Da Qiao suddenly noticed Sun Shangxiang's presence.
"Shang Xiang? Why are you here? "
Da Qiao looked at Sun Shangxiang in surprise.
No matter what, Sun Shangxiang shouldn't be here!
Sun Shangxiang's face was also filled with shock.
She originally thought that Bai Feng was just fooling her when he said that Da Qiao would come.
Sun Shangxiang had always believed that Da Qiao had died with her elder brother.
She didn't expect that Da Qiao would really come!
"Sister-in-law …"
When Sun Shangxiang saw Da Qiao, she immediately thought of her elder brother, Bo Fu. She felt a lump in her throat.
"I didn't expect you to still be alive!"
Da Qiao nodded heavily.
"Of course. If I die, how can I avenge Shao 'er?!"
When she heard Da Qiao's words, Sun Shangxiang's heart skipped a beat.
Based on Da Qiao's words, could it be that Sun Shao was really killed by her elder brother, Sun Quan?
Looking at Da Qiao's indignant expression, it should be true.
Sun Shangxiang immediately looked at Da Qiao with a serious expression.
"Sister-in-law, I have something to ask you."
"Was Sun Shao really killed by my elder brother?"
"Also, did my elder brother send an assassin to assassinate you?"
Da Qiao was speechless. She could only nod heavily.
She didn't want to recall those painful memories of the past.
Sun Shangxiang felt like she had been struck by lightning. She didn't expect that everything Bai Feng said was true!
She didn't expect her elder brother to be such a person!
Da Qiao sighed helplessly.
"Shang Xiang, why didn't you stay in Wu County? Why did you come to the Shanyue?"
Sun Shangxiang sighed faintly.
"That's a long story."
Then, Sun Shangxiang told Da Qiao everything that had happened in Wu County over the past few days, as well as how a mysterious old man had led her here.
Sun Shangxiang trusted Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao unconditionally.
Since she was young, the two of them had treated her like their own little sisters.
To be honest, they treated her more like their own children than Sun Ce and Sun Quan.
Now, Sun Shangxiang only felt that it was unbelievable.
Could it be that power could really change a person to such an extent?
The Sun Quan that Bai Feng and Da Qiao spoke of didn't seem to be the same person as the elder brother in her impression.
But that was the reality. Sun Shangxiang had no choice but to believe it.
Now, Sun Shangxiang felt more and more that if she stayed in Wu County, she would definitely be sent to Jingzhou and be taken advantage of by Liu Bei.
Sun Shangxiang gritted her teeth when she thought about how that shameless old man Liu Bei wanted to take advantage of someone who was old enough to be her daughter.
Da Qiao sighed softly.
"Since you're here, don't go back.
"The Jiangdong of today is no longer the Jiangdong of the past.
"The reason why I'm asking you, Sir, is that I hope you can return the old Jiangdong of the past and let Jiangdong return to its peaceful days."
Sun Shangxiang nodded solemnly.
Now that she knew her elder brother's true colors, Sun Shangxiang definitely couldn't go back.
