Chapter 30 Amidst the chaos and urgent need for reinforcements, a hidden plot gradually emerges.
The Yuexi Shu army camp.
It had already been reduced to a sea of fire.
The firelight licked at the tents.
Thick smoke blotted out the sky.
Shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and explosions.
The ground trembled slightly from the tremor.
Li Hui held a long sword.
The robes were covered in dust.
Standing on a high platform outside the granary.
His eyes were sharp and piercing.
Sweep through the chaotic camp.
[Li Hui thought to himself]: The secret agents have already made arrangements.
They took advantage of the chaos to launch an attack.
It's clearly an attempt to contain us.
Paving the way for reinforcements from outside the city!
He suppressed his impatience.
He shouted sternly, "All units, listen to my command!"
"Guard the granaries and armories at full strength!"
"Anyone suspected of being suspicious should be killed without exception!"
The guards echoed in unison.
The sound pierced through the chaos.
The message spread throughout the camp.
Just then.
Meng Huo arrived hastily with his tribal soldiers.
He looked anxious.
His body was still stained with blood.
"General Li!"
Meng Huo had a loud and clear voice.
His tone was full of anger.
The curved knife in his hand was still dripping with blood.
"Most of the hidden forces on the west side have been eliminated."
"But there are still small groups of remnants, setting fires everywhere!"
[Meng Huo felt annoyed]: He had only been focused on gathering his soldiers.
The dark figure managed to slip away.
He might be the key figure behind the scenes!
Li Hui nodded slightly.
My fingertips were clenched so tightly they turned white.
"You've worked hard, Chief."
"You're in charge of the west side."
"The armory must be defended at all costs."
"We must not let our covert operations destroy our weapons!"
"rest assured!"
Meng Huo gritted his teeth and agreed.
He turned around and led his men away at breakneck speed.
at this time.
A rapid sound of horses' hooves came from the east side of the camp.
Ma Zhong reined in his horse and stopped.
He was covered in sweat.
The armor was covered with knife marks.
He walked up to Li Hui with a solemn expression.
"General Li."
Ma Zhong spoke.
The tone was heavy.
"The hidden line on the east side has been cleared."
"But my subordinates found this amidst the chaos of battle."
Ma Zhong took out a token from his pocket.
handed over.
The token was pitch black.
The character "幽" is engraved on it.
The style is the same as the token of the previously deceased Darkline.
Very different.
Li Hui accepted the token.
My fingertips traced the patterns on it.
His expression grew increasingly grim and cold.
[Li Hui was shocked to realize]: This token was definitely not something an ordinary informant would possess.
It seems to be the mastermind behind the scenes.
It's right inside the camp.
And his status is quite high!
"This token."
Li Hui asked in a deep voice.
Where did you find it?
"Found on an informant disguised as a personal guard."
Ma Zhong responded in a low voice.
"Before he died..."
"They also sent signals deeper into the camp."
Li Hui's eyes sharpened.
"Deep within the camp?"
"Could it be...?"
Before he could finish speaking...
A scout was covered in wounds.
He staggered over.
Kneel on one knee.
hoarse voice.
"General! Something terrible has happened!"
"Sima Yi's reinforcements."
"We have passed Shili Slope."
"It is less than five miles from Yuexi City."
"Expected after half an incense stick's time."
"Then we will reach the city walls!"
"What?!"
Li Hui's expression changed drastically.
It was a full hour faster than expected.
It's clear that someone was meeting them on the southern border of Sichuan.
That's why the reinforcements arrived so smoothly!
[Li Hui thought to himself]: Something must have happened to General Dong Jue.
I'm afraid it's on the southern border of Sichuan.
There's also a hidden agent of Sima Yi!
It is not too late.
Li Hui made a decisive decision.
He sternly ordered Ma Zhong, "General Ma."
"You shall immediately take two thousand elite troops."
"Come with me out of the city."
"Head to Shilipowei to intercept reinforcements!"
"Internal strife within the camp."
Ma Zhong hesitated.
"Chief Meng alone may not be able to hold out."
"Why don't I stay here and you lead the troops on the march?"
"No need!"
Li Hui's tone was resolute.
"Chief Meng is brave and fierce."
"More than enough to hold the camp."
"Once reinforcements enter the city..."
"We will be attacked from both sides and will surely die!"
Ma Zhong said no more.
He bowed and replied, "Yes, sir!"
"Your subordinate will immediately gather the troops!"
After Ma Zhong left.
Li Hui looked at the "You" token in his hand again.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
[Li Hui's inner thoughts]: The mastermind behind the operation is hiding in the camp.
Reinforcements are about to arrive.
Today is a matter of life and death.
We have no choice but to take a gamble!
He turned and gave instructions to the guards beside him.
"Pass on my orders."
"Let the prison camp guard it."
"Bring the haute couture to the open space next to the granary."
"Keep them under public surveillance!"
The guards were puzzled.
Nevertheless, he bowed and replied, "As you command!"
Inside the prison camp.
The haute couture was chained up.
They heard shouts of battle and the sound of horses' hooves outside.
The smile at the corner of his mouth grew increasingly eerie.
[Gao Ding was overjoyed]: Reinforcements are almost here!
The hidden agents have also started causing trouble.
Li Hui and his men were too busy taking care of themselves.
I will surely get away today!
Two guards came in.
Set up a high-end custom-made frame.
He then headed towards the granary.
"Where are you taking me?"
Gao Ding feigned panic.
But a hint of smugness lingered in his eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
The guard shouted sternly.
His tone was cold.
"The general has ordered that you be taken to see him!"
No need to elaborate further on haute couture.
They let the guards hold them up.
He had already devised a plan to escape.
he knows.
The mastermind behind the scenes will definitely step in to save him.
Just a little more delay.
Reinforcements arrived.
That would be the death knell for the Shu army!
Deep within the camp.
A dark figure lurked in the shadows of the tent.
He watched as Li Hui and Ma Zhong gathered their troops.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
He also held a token with the character "幽" in his hand.
The fingertips tapped the token lightly.
His expression was calm.
Yet it exudes a ruthless aura.
[The mastermind behind the scenes sneered inwardly]: Li Hui.
You thought you could leave the city and attack the reinforcements.
Could that turn the tide of the battle?
too naive!
He raised his hand.
He made a gesture to the two spies behind him.
He whispered the order: "Proceed according to the original plan."
"Wait for reinforcements to attack the city."
"Open the city gates immediately."
"Provide reinforcements to enter the city!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two undercover agents bowed and agreed.
They disappeared silently into the shadows.
The mastermind behind the operation looked towards the outside of the city again.
A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
[The mastermind behind the scenes is calculating]: The task assigned by Lord Sima Yi.
It can be completed today.
South Central.
It will eventually fall into the hands of Cao Wei!
On the open ground next to the granary.
The haute couture was pinned to the ground.
He looked up and saw Li Hui.
"Li Hui".
Gao Ding scoffed.
His tone was disdainful.
"You brought me here."
"Are you planning to kill me as an example to others?"
Li Hui walked up to him.
Looking down at him.
He held up the "You" character token in his hand.
"This token."
Li Hui spoke.
His tone was cold.
Do you know him?
Who is the mastermind behind this operation?
The high-end brand saw the token.
A flicker of panic crossed his eyes.
He quickly regained his composure.
She abruptly turned her head: "I don't know!"
[Gao Ding was secretly alarmed]: This is the mastermind's token.
How did he find it?
No.
It must not be said.
Otherwise, I will surely die!
Li Hui looked at his stubborn and unyielding demeanor.
I've already made up my mind.
"It's fine if you don't tell me."
Li Hui spoke calmly.
"Wait until I defeat the reinforcements."
"We'll slowly uncover the mastermind behind this."
"At that time."
"You'll speak up eventually."
Just then.
A deafening bugle call echoed from outside the city.
Low and rapid.
It has extremely strong penetrating power.
The scouts rushed over again.
His face was deathly pale.
"General! Reinforcements have arrived at the city walls!"
"Preparing to attack the city!"
Li Hui's face darkened.
No more hesitation.
He sternly ordered Ma Zhong, "Move out!"
Ma Zhong led his elite cavalry in the vanguard.
Li Hui followed closely behind.
They sped off toward the city gate.
The haute couture was pinned to the ground.
I watched them walk away.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
[Gao Ding roars in his heart]: Quick! Mastermind.
Act quickly!
As long as the city gates are opened.
Reinforcements entered the city.
We can turn defeat into victory!
Inside the camp.
Meng Huo was leading his tribal soldiers.
Fight valiantly to eliminate the remaining hidden agents.
But he didn't notice.
A dark figure quietly slipped to the side of the armory.
He was holding a torch in his hand.
At the city gate.
Li Hui and Ma Zhonggang have just arrived.
Then they saw a dark mass of Cao Wei reinforcements.
They charged toward the city gate.
The leading general.
Holding a long sword.
His expression was sinister.
"Soldiers of Shu, listen up!"
The Cao Wei general shouted sternly.
The sound reverberated through the sky.
"Lay down your weapons and surrender to avoid death!"
Li Hui held a long sword.
Standing atop the city gate.
His tone was icy: "Wishful thinking!"
"today."
"Then I'll let you all perish beneath the walls of Yuexi City!"
Just as the two sides were about to engage in battle.
A loud bang suddenly came from deep within the camp.
—The armory has been bombed!
Flames shot into the sky.
Smoke billows.
The Shu soldiers were immediately thrown into chaos.
Li Hui's expression changed drastically.
He inwardly cried out in alarm.
Meanwhile, Cao Wei reinforcements were below the city.
Upon seeing this, they immediately launched a fierce attack.
The city gate was pounded loudly.
Even more bizarrely...
Inside the city gate.
Several guards suddenly drew their short swords.
He slashed at the guard.
—They are also part of the covert network!
Li Hui looked back.
Inside the camp.
More and more hidden threads are emerging.
They launched an attack on the Shu soldiers.
[Li Hui felt despair]: This is bad!
We fell for the entire scheme orchestrated by the undercover agents.
Attack from inside and outside.
This is really dangerous!
Under the city.
The Cao Wei reinforcements launched an increasingly fierce offensive.
Inside the city.
An undercover agent caused trouble, and the armory was destroyed.
The southern border of Sichuan.
Dong Jue remained missing.
Li Hui gripped the long sword in his hand tightly.
Looking at the chaotic battle situation.
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
But he doesn't know.
The mastermind behind the scenes.
I am currently standing at the highest point of the camp.
Looking down on all of this.
The "You" character token in his hand.
In the firelight.
It gleamed with a cold, icy light.
No one noticed.
The haute couture was pinned to the ground.
It quietly broke free from the loose iron chains.
He picked up a short stick.
A hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
He, too, will seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack amidst the chaos!
