Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 582 Gan Ning Su Fei VS Lei Bu Chen Lan
The army continued to rush towards Shouchun.

On the city wall of Shouchun, the soldiers defending the city also noticed the huge army coming from Lujiang covering the mountains and plains.

Without caring about the people outside the city who had not entered the city, the general defending the city immediately ordered the city gates to be closed.

At this moment, countless shouts and curses were heard on the city wall, which was originally filled with flags.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately became busy and ran quickly.

The general in charge of guarding the city gate is named Ji Ling, who is now the General of Chariots and Cavalry of the Zhong Dynasty.

Looking at the army attacking from all over the mountains outside the city, Ji Ling shouted angrily: "Are all the scouts dead? Are they all dead? The enemy is coming, why didn't anyone come to report it!"

"Someone, go to the palace and report to His Majesty immediately!"

"Tens of thousands of enemy troops are approaching with great momentum. Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly!"

Shouchun City was originally dead silent.

As the city gates closed, the entire Shouchun city was in chaos.

The people on the street rushed into their houses and closed their doors.

Countless pairs of eyes hid behind the gate, looking at the main road through the crack in the door.

The refugees who were lying weakly at the city gate and were about to die also struggled to get up.

Someone kept knocking on the door, begging to be let in.

Someone was limping towards the depths of the city.

The skinny woman knelt on the ground, wailing loudly.

The big-headed babies stood there, at a loss.

The imperial palace in Shouchun City.

Royal Garden.

At this time, a fat middle-aged man in a black robe was kneeling on a cushion.

In his arms, there was a plump and graceful woman nestled in each of them.

The two women were peeling oranges or grapes and stuffing them into the middle-aged man's mouth.

The middle-aged man couldn't stop smiling.

On his left and right, there were a dozen men kneeling.

These men were also surrounded by beautiful women.

In the open space between them, a dozen singing girls were dancing and showing off their charming grace.

It was a scene of peace and prosperity.

When everyone was enjoying themselves, a soldier rushed in and knocked the dancing singer away.

The middle-aged man and a dozen other men instantly lost their expression.

The soldier didn't care about that. He ran to the middle-aged man, saluted, and said loudly: "General Ji Ling of the Chariot Cavalry reported that tens of thousands of troops are coming from Lujiang and are already at the gates of the city. Your Majesty, please come to your rescue as soon as possible!"

The middle-aged man was none other than Yuan Shu, the lord of Shouchun and the emperor of the Zhong clan court.

The dozen or so men on both sides were his civil and military officials.

After hearing the soldier's report, dozens of men's faces suddenly changed and they all looked at Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu looked at the soldiers but said unconcernedly, "Lujiang is attacking? My Shouchun City is well-defended and has all the food and grass from Huainan stored inside. It will not run out for several years. What is there to be afraid of?"

Waving his hand, signaling the soldiers to step aside, Yuan Shu pointed at the singer and said, "Come on, continue playing music and dancing for me!"

The civil officials and military generals looked at Yuan Shu, who acted as if it had nothing to do with them, and glanced at each other.

After hearing what Yuan Shu said, the soldiers gritted their teeth and retreated obediently.

Yuan Shu called the singer to come forward and continue playing music and dancing.

After dancing for a while, two big men stood up.

They walked around the crowd and came in front of Yuan Shu.

One of the big men smiled at Yuan Shu and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Lan and I are in a hurry to pee, so we will leave first."

The big man who spoke was called Lei Bu, and he was the general of the Zhong family's court.

Yuan Shu waved his hand to signal them to leave without even looking at Lei Bu and Chen Lan.

Seeing this, Lei Bu and Chen Lan thanked him and slowly retreated.

The two of them left the palace and took the reins of the warhorses from the soldiers. Lei Bu said to Chen Lan, "Yuan Shu is such a waste. He is the legitimate son of the Yuan family, which has three generations of officials!"

"Now that the enemy is at hand, he turns a deaf ear to it and continues to enjoy himself."

"If we stay here any longer, we will die with him sooner or later!"

Chen Lan said: "Brother Lei, the Zhong Dynasty is finished, we will continue to live as bandits in our own mountain."

"With our military strength, we can occupy the mountain and become the king. Who can do anything to us?"

Lei Bu nodded heavily.

The two men, along with their followers, rushed towards the north gate of the city.

The city gates had already been closed.

Lei Bu raised his seal to the city defense troops and roared, "I am General Lei Bu. I have urgent business to attend to outside the city. Open the city gates immediately!"

The city defense troops glanced outside the city.

No signs of enemy troops were seen outside the city.

However, an order came from the east of the city from General Ji Ling: Close the city gates, as the enemy troops are at the gates and are ready to attack at any time.

But now, General Ji Ling, who was in charge of the city defense, was not here, and Lei Bu was a general of the guards, and was not someone they could afford to provoke.

A group of city defense soldiers hesitated for a long time, but finally opened the city gate and let Lei Bu and Chen Lan lead their troops out of the city gate.

Lei Bu and Chen Lan rushed out of Shouchun City with their troops.

The city defense troops closed the city gates.

Lei Bu and Chen Lan ran for two miles and looked back towards Shouchun City.

Lei Bu laughed loudly and said, "Yuan Shu, I originally thought that since we brothers have been bandits for several years, following him, who has been a minister for four generations, we will always be able to eat and drink well."

"But I didn't expect that he was such a waste. No wonder people call him 'a dead bone in the grave'!"

"We have escaped from the vortex this time and are hiding in the Qiongshan Mountain. One day, no matter if he is the governor of Xuzhou or Jizhou, he will beg us to surrender!"

Chen Lan also laughed out loud.

They have thousands of followers.

There are still their old subordinates and tens of thousands of bandits in Qingshan.

Even without official positions, they can still thrive.

I heard that Zheng Bao, the bandit leader in Lujiang County, also had over ten thousand men.

When it comes to the future, no matter who is the leader in Huainan, he will have to think carefully.

It's just that we have to live a hard life during this period.

As Chen Lan continued to spur his horse, he shouted, "The sky is high and the birds can fly freely, Brother Lei!"

Lei Bu laughed and left with Chen Lan.

Before they had walked three miles, they saw a large army arrayed in front of them.

The army consisted of about 3,000 people.

There were hundreds of people in front, wearing armor, holding shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands.

Behind these hundreds of people, more than two thousand people had weapons hanging on their waists and were drawing their bows and arrows.

At the front of the army, two burly men in armor were riding their horses.

The armored man on the left had a bell hanging around his waist and a piece of dry grass in his mouth. He looked at Lei Bu and Chen Lan with a smile on his face.

The armored man on the right held the reins in his left hand and a ring-handled sword in his right hand, which he kept wiping on the armor on his left arm.

The weapon rubbed against the armor, making a harsh sound.

Lei Bu and Chen Lan looked at the large army in front of them, and both of them looked unhappy.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Lei Bu signaled all his troops to stop, and rode forward alone, stopping thirty steps in front of the army. He clasped his fists towards the two armored men and said, "I am Lei Bu of Mount Qingshan. May I ask what your names are, generals?"

The bell-shaped man carried the sword on his shoulder in his left hand, chewing dry weeds while jokingly saying, "Lujiang Biebu Sima, Gan Ning Gan Xingba, have been waiting for a long time!"

The other big man stopped rubbing his sword, looked at Lei Bu and said, "I am from Jingzhou, Su Fei, the captain of Lujiang County, and I am here on the orders of Commander Chen Deng to take your lives!"
