134 The Qin army retreated several hundred miles, and the Shouchun city was interrogated.
A few days after the Qin army retreated from Shouchun City, as the capital of Chu, the traffic became bustling again. King Fu Chu of Chu still asked everyone to come in and out of this for the first few days. This was not because King Fu Chu of Chu received news that Lu Bu and the others were trying to sneak into Shouchun City, but simply because he was normal vigilance after the enemy had just retreated.
However, this vigilance will inevitably not be able to last long without a strong enemy lying on his side. On the first and second day of the Qin army retreating, the city gates of the East and West North Third Road of Shouchun City conducted strict interrogations on all passing travelers, but on the third and fourth day after that, the interrogation of the three city gates of Shouchun City, the east and west north north of Shouchun City decreased significantly.[]
On the fifth day of the Qin army's retreat, the Chu soldiers who were responsible for interrogating the travelers in and out of the travelers, simply proposed to their superiors to stop this "disturbance" activity. The Chu generals, who were also very tired in the past few days, agreed to their subordinates' request. Anyway, the brothers in the scout camp all said that the Qin army retreated with all their might these days and had already run out of a place hundreds of miles away from Shouchun City. Shouchun City should be considered safe. If that is the case, why not live with yourself and yourself all day long to make the city gate frantic and annoying?
On the seventh day after the Qin army retreated from Shouchun City, more than a hundred men dressed in merchants carried their own goods and, led by a strong young man, slowly headed to Shouchun City. That's right, this group of people was Lu Bu and his group who were separated from the main force of the Qin army that day. They got the clothes they are now from some cities and villages around Shouchun these days, and they planned to put on makeup and sneak into Shouchun City.
"Shouchun is not far ahead. Now there are still six days before the day when General Meng Tian made an appointment with me to attack the city, and there is still plenty of time, so it is best not to enter Shouchun City together to prevent the alertness of the Chu soldiers at the city gate. In addition to our target south gate, Shouchun City has three city gates. We scattered and sneaked into the city in batches from these three cities. Before that, I will give each of you some Chu coins. This money is for you to spend on accommodation and food. If it is absolutely necessary, it is best not to spend it in some unwanted places.
I don’t care what you like to do before, but if you don’t want to arouse the suspicion of the Chu people after entering the city, it’s best not to go to brothels, taverns, gambling houses, etc. These places are crowded and can also make people lose their minds. Once you miss it, it’s likely that your names will be ruined. In addition, you are staying in Shouchun City. If you only have one person, then you’d better sleep on the side of the road with a little aggrieved, and don’t open a room alone or live in a room with other strangers. This may reveal your identity.” Lv Bu gathered more than a hundred people in front of him and carefully reminded them of the matters they need to pay attention to.
"General Lu, I have been to Shouchun City and I know the city well. Why don't we gather together in a place in the city so that we can take care of each other?" A shorter Qin army soldier suggested to Lu Bu in a southern accent.
Lu Bu shook his head: "Have you seen a merchant carrying different goods and a hundred people gathered in the city to sell together? This will not only attract the attention of the Chu people faster, but also once exposed, it is likely that they will be caught by the Chu people in one place and cannot escape. This method is not feasible. After entering the city, you can only have five to eight people in a team. If this number exceeds this number, it is best to disperse it. We will gather south together on the day of siege. Anyway, there is no need to cover up anything at that time."
Everyone nodded together and remembered everything Lu Bu said. Infiltrating into Shouchun City was only the first step in this operation. The real difficulty was to lurk in Shouchun City, a place surrounded by Chu people! And there were only a handful of people who actually went to Shouchun to carry out this mission with Lu Bu.
The Qin soldiers who were about to sneak into Shouchun City, the scars hidden on their bodies and calluses formed by holding swords and spears for many years may reveal their true identities during this period. Once exposed, the siege of countless Chu soldiers was a life-threatening situation. Although some of the precautions that Lu Bu told them could not be understood, it is absolutely wrong to be careful at this time, after all, no one can't live up to his own lives.
After explaining the matters that need to be paid attention to, Lu Bu dispersed with everyone. Lu Bu was wearing makeup a merchant who was pushing a truck of firewood. His square painting halberd was hidden in the truck full of firewood. Unless the Chu soldiers guarding the gate of Shouchun City turned a truck of firewood to the lower level, they would not find the Fang Tian painting halberd hidden in it and disguised with some dry grass. The gate that Lu Bu chose to sneak into was the north gate of Shouchun City.
The time when Lu Bu was preparing to enter the city was after noon, because this time of summer is the most drowsy time of the day. In Lu Bu's opinion, entering the city from this time period should not be subject to too much search. When Lu Bu pushed a cart of "cargo" to approach the city gate, the Chu soldiers who were standing in the shade of the city gate, and the few pedestrians entering the city who had not been questioned at all, made Lu Bu feel happy, and the speed of pushing the cart slightly faster.
Just as Lu Bu was about to pass through the city gate and enter Shouchun City, a soldier behind him who had been leaning against the city wall to enjoy the shade suddenly stopped Lu Bu: "Hey! The man in front is you! Stop and let us check!!"
When Lu Bu suddenly heard the blocking voice, his heart tightened, and in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his eyes. When he turned around and found that the other Chu soldiers who had not paid attention to him had also turned their attention to him, a trace of murderous aura appeared in his eyes when he looked at the Chu soldiers who stopped him first.
And the Chu soldier who didn't know he had stopped was a Chu army soldier who could take his life at will. While walking towards Lu Bu, he shouted: "You guy! You don't know the rules at all, but you don't know the rules at all?"
‘Rules? Are you going to do anything before entering Shouchun City? But those pedestrians did not do anything at all. What should I do now?’ Lu Bu looked at the Chu army soldier who was getting closer and closer, and even thought of the immature idea of simply crushing this hateful guy, then fleeing into Shouchun City and hiding until the date of the agreement.
