When the day was bright, the guards of Shiha City standing on the city wall saw a group of horsemen in the distance. One of them pointed at the group and said, "Look! A long caravan is coming."

"There are quite a lot of people in this caravan. Could it be that such a large caravan is going to Danyan Country to do business?"

The soldiers on the city wall were staring at the team.

At this time, another soldier pointed at the troops in the distance and said to one of them, "Boss, look, look, it's not a caravan, it's an army, like our Western Chu army."

They looked at the approaching troops and shouted, "Yes, yes, it looks like our Western Chu army. Is it the troops led by General Xue to destroy the Dirong people that are back?"

"Boss, that doesn't look like it. And why is there so few people in this team, and they're riding horses?"

"I don't know, are they Dirong people? Go and report to General Xue." The little leader said to a soldier.

"Yes," the soldier agreed and hurried down the city wall.

At this time, in the dining hall of the City Lord's Mansion, three men who were having a meal were interrupted by a discordant voice, "! Young General, Young General!"

At this time, one of the men in his twenties raised his head, looked at his men with a cold expression, and said impatiently: "What's the matter? You are so flustered, didn't you see that I am having a meal with Chief Zhai and my second uncle?"

"Young General, I know, but the situation is so urgent that I dare not fail to report it."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Young General, the soldiers guarding the South Gate just reported that a group of cavalrymen are approaching our South Gate and are almost there."

"What? Cavalry? Who are they?" Hearing this, Xue Boxin was shocked and put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Yes, young general, they said that this group of people has about three to four hundred people, a bit like our Western Chu army." He glanced at the leader Zhai of Di Rong. He was not sure what to say, because the soldiers guarding the city just now reported that those people might be Di Rong people.

"Okay! Got it. This general will be here soon."

"Yes" the subordinate stepped out.

"Hahaha! General Xue, these soldiers should be here to support you in dealing with this leader." The leader of Dirong raised his eyebrows and sneered at Xue Boxin.

"Could they be here to support us? If they are soldiers who are here to support us, hehe! That would be great. My grandfather and his men would be under less pressure in Kyoto."

After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, and turned to look at the other man and said, "Second Uncle, that's not right either! Tell me, why are there so many hundreds of people here?"

The second uncle he called was the man named Xue Congying that Ouyang Yunyao and the others saw.

Seeing Xue Boxin asking him, he raised his hand and stroked his long beard. He thought for a while with a gloomy expression and said, "Didn't your men say that the people coming were cavalry? It seems that these people may be the vanguard sent by the emperor."

"Second uncle, don't you think this team came too quickly? But is there any problem?" It seems that Xue Boxin still has some brains.

Xue Congying shook his head and said, "It should be no problem. It's not a long time. Your father submitted a memorial to the emperor some time ago.

He said that the Di Rong people came to attack and also poisoned the territory of Western Chu, releasing poisonous insects and snakes. He asked the emperor to send reinforcements, and the court must have felt that the situation was serious, so they sent these cavalrymen to support them at full speed. "

"How many more troops will come?"

Xue Congying smiled sinisterly and said, "It is best for us that they come in such a dispersed manner. I heard from your grandfather that there may be 50,000 of them."

"Hehe! Fifty thousand, it looks like Kyoto is really going to be empty."

He just laughed happily twice, then remembered something, "Second Uncle, we don't have any news from Kyoto right now, what should I do if they come?"

"This is very simple. Just as we agreed beforehand, we just need Chief Zhai and the others to act it out."

He turned to look at Zhai Ran and said, "Captain Zhai, it's your turn this time."

"General Xue, our people have been on the scene for a long time. Two villages have already been destroyed by our men. Now we just need to add fuel to the fire." He spoke these words about killing people and destroying villages as if he was eating food, with no expression in his eyes.

"Well! Xin'er, then you can receive them normally. After Chief Zhai's men take action, we will give them a..."

Hearing this, Xue Boxin's brows relaxed, and the haze on his face was swept away. He said happily: "Okay! Second Uncle, then you and Chief Zhai can enjoy your meal slowly. I will go to the South City Gate to meet them and see who the emperor sent."

"Go ahead. I will go to my house with Chief Zhai in a while. If you have any questions, please send someone to find us."

"Okay! Commander Zhai, I'll leave you in charge."

"One family does not speak the language of two families."

……

When Xue Boxin, along with a few of his men and several lieutenants, arrived at the entrance of the South City Gate, they found that the cavalry unit that the soldiers guarding the city had mentioned was almost at the city gate.

The soldiers defending the city were all standing on the city wall. The archers had already drawn their bows to the full extent, waiting for orders.

They had heard that the Dirong people had been robbing people's belongings and poisoning people in the surrounding villages, but their city of Shiha was not threatened and they had not seen any poisonous insects. They thought that the Dirong people would not dare to come to Shiha.

They also heard that recently General Xue had led his troops to the surrounding areas to chase and attack the Di Rong people, so the Di Rong people did not dare to enter the city of Shiha. What they didn't know was that the leader of the Di Rong was now living in the city of Shiha with his people.

A captain recognized the officer riding in the front as General Su Huoling. He quickly told the soldiers guarding the city and the soldiers drawing their bows, "The cavalry coming here are from our Western Chu State. The man riding in the front is General Su."

When the soldiers guarding the city heard that it was one of their own people, the general, they relaxed and were very happy. These soldiers guarding the city had no idea that their General Xue had joined forces with Di Rong's men. They also had no idea that their General Xue had actually led his 40,000 carefully selected soldiers to become rebels.

At this time, the captain was at a loss. He saw General Xue who had come to him and hurried forward to report, "General, Deputy General..."

"What about people?"

"Young general, look, they are almost at the city gate." The centurion pointed at the cavalry team that was almost at the city gate.

Xue Boxin and others also saw the team getting closer and closer.

"Young General, then...then...the leader is General Su."

"General Su, Su Huoling?" Xue Boxin stared at the man riding on the big bike.

"Yes, I have seen him before, and I won't mistake him."

Xue Boxin, his deputy general, and his guards stared at him. He said coldly, "You stay at your positions. I will go to meet General Su."
