Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 88 83. Capture the thief and the king
“&*#……!”

"Hmm...? Why is there such a commotion outside?"

The sound of the Han army attacking the city outside naturally reached the governor's mansion. However, the clinking of glasses and the sound of string instruments almost drowned out the sound, but Sun Huan was very sharp-eared and still heard some of the movement.

"Could it be that the Shu army knew the situation in the city and attacked it at night?!"

Pan Jun was cautious and stood up and walked out. He wanted to find out the situation outside for himself.

"Tsk...keep on playing the music and dancing!"

Sun Huan saw Pan Jun asking for trouble and took the initiative to go out to investigate the situation, but he was too lazy to pay any more attention to him. After all, Pan Jun was cunning and suspicious, and he would definitely deal with any disturbance. Sun Huan continued to drink with other generals.

Pan Jun walked out of the bustling hall and was blown by the cool breeze outside. He didn't drink much to begin with, sobered up instantly. He listened carefully and found that the vague sounds around him were now much clearer, coming from the city gates around him.

Especially at the west gate, there were flames shooting into the sky and shouts of killing were heard everywhere.

"Sir! Please come in, it's dangerous outside!"

While Pan Jun was wondering, he suddenly saw a group of soldiers led by a general rushing in from outside. Seeing Pan Jun standing at the door, they hurriedly tried to dissuade them.

"General Hu? What happened at the city gate?"

The person who came was General Hu, and Pan Jun naturally knew him, so he hurriedly asked.

"It is said that the Han army attacked the city overnight. General Rui Xuan has sent many brothers to support them. He asked me to bring the brothers to protect you all."

Pan Jun nodded. He had already believed it, but when he accidentally noticed that the arms and foreheads of General Hu's soldiers were all tied with white cloth, his heart sank.

Neither himself nor that idiot Sun Huan would order the soldiers to wear such decorations. There is usually only one possibility in this situation, that is, this person has already rebelled and this kind of decoration is needed to distinguish between friend and foe.

Pan Jun remained calm, nodded, and after a little thought he came up with a solution.

"General Hu, follow me in to report this matter first, and let the soldiers be on guard first, how about that?"

General Hu was afraid of alerting the enemy, and he didn't know that Pan Jun had already become suspicious of him, so he nodded and followed Pan Jun into the hall of the prefect's mansion with two guards beside him.

"Pan Chengming, what's the situation outside? Have you gained anything?"

When Sun Huan saw Pan Jun walking in with three people, he did not suspect anything and asked Pan Jun drunkenly.

"Lord Sun, the Shu army outside is attacking the city at night. The situation is critical. We should prepare to evacuate quickly."

Pan Jun bowed and told the situation outside.

"Hahaha, it's just that the Shu kids wanted to take advantage of our army's unpreparedness and attack the city overnight. What's the big deal? Chengming is just making a fuss out of nothing!"

After listening to Pan Jun's report, Sun Huan burst into laughter. In his opinion, the city of Jiangling was high and the visibility was unclear at night. Even if the Han army attacked the city at night, they would not be able to achieve anything.

"What if there is a traitor in the city helping?"

Pan Jun raised his head, jumped to the side, and pointed at General Hu and his two companions who followed in.

"Come here, capture these three!"

Seeing that their plot was exposed, General Hu and his two companions drew their swords and confronted the guards who surrounded them.

"Pan Jun, how did you find out?"

Pan Jun stroked his beard and laughed. He told General Hu about the weakness of the soldiers under his command. In fact, he was just tricking him. He didn't expect that General Hu was actually an accomplice.

"Go! Capture them, dead or alive!" Pan Jun explained, and ordered the guards to rush forward. As long as the three generals were captured, the soldiers outside could be won over by his reputation. Even if the city was breached, he could escape with the protection of these people. And Sun Huan? He would have to rely on him by then.

General Hu's martial arts skills were only average, and he could hardly hold on after fighting with five or six guards. Seeing that he was about to be defeated, a man next to him, who had been keeping his head down and keeping silent, suddenly drew his sword and attacked. In a flash of the sword, five or six guards were all chopped and stabbed by him, and fell to the ground groaning.

"Who are you!"

Pan Jun was shocked to see that this man had a black cloth covering his face but was so cruel.

"Pan Jun, do you still remember who my aunt is?"

The person simply threw away the black cloth on his face, revealing his beautiful face and pink lips. She was the eldest lady who had come to Jiangling with Zhou Si before.

"...You! How come you are still alive!?"

Pan Jun was shocked and pointed at the eldest lady and shouted hysterically.

"Why, shouldn't I be alive? A coward like you is unfit to lick the mud from the shoes of the Dongwu people, but why can't I live an upright life?"

Sun Huan on the other side was still confused about what was happening on the field. He stood up and asked Pan Jun, a little drunk.

"Pan Chengming, who is this woman?"

"She...she is..."

Just as Pan Jun was about to answer, he found the eldest lady brandishing a sword and rushing towards him. He could only interrupt his words and draw the sword from his waist to fight.

Unfortunately, although Pan Jun is proficient in swordsmanship, he can only deal with some minions and soldiers. How can he be a match for a general of the eldest lady's level?

The two fought for only three rounds when the eldest lady kicked the sword away. Then she clenched her left fist and hit Pan Jun's chin with a heavy hook, knocking him several meters away and causing him to fall to the ground and faint.

"Catch... catch them!"

At this moment, the drunken generals in the hall woke up from their confusion and drew their weapons, ready to fight to the death with the three men in front of them.

Unfortunately, even when they were sober on normal days, they were still no match for the eldest lady. Now, under General Hu’s deliberate arrangement, they were all drunk and weak in their hands and feet. How could they perform beyond their normal level?

The eldest lady held a sword in her right hand, like a god of war, fighting against many enemies alone, forcing these drunkards to retreat step by step. From time to time, someone was knocked to the ground by the eldest lady and could not move.

"Kill! Capture Sun Huan alive!"

The soldiers outside were also called in by General Hu's deputy general, and they quickly tied up the drunkards who were knocked to the ground by the eldest lady and waited for their punishment later.

"Where... where did this shrew come from! How dare you disrespect me! I am Sun Huan! A relative of the current King Wu! You all..."

Sun Huan was also frightened by the eldest lady's terrifying fighting power. Now he had no generals available. Rui Xuan, who had the highest combat power, had been sent to defend the city. The only two people who could barely be considered generals were Fu Shiren and Mi Fang.

Unfortunately, when Mi Fang saw this woman, he was like seeing a ghost. He dropped his sword, knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, and trembled.

Fu Shiren did the same thing. He kowtowed on the ground, begging the female general in front of him to spare his life.

"You two, get out of my way and stop getting in the way!"

The eldest lady was annoyed when she saw these two shameless villains, but she controlled her temper and just kicked each of them, pushing the two chubby good-for-nothings aside, leaving them rolling on the side, holding their stomachs.

Sun Huan gritted his teeth and drew his sword to fight with the young lady. Although Sun Huan was quite powerful, he was dizzy due to being drunk, and the young lady's fighting power was terrifying. After a few rounds, he was knocked to the ground by the young lady's sword handle, drooling at the corners of his mouth and twitching.
