Lu Su, Sun Ce and others soon came to Zhang Zhao's mansion. Sure enough, in the dark of a pool in Zhang Zhao's courtyard, there was a handle. Pulling it away was a secret passage, but go straight down. , Looking at the soil on the side of this secret passage, this doesn't look like a newly dug underground passage. ⊙Apex novels, but already prepared.
"Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, that's true!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth. He had to catch Zhang Zhao. It was he who turned his own brother against him, and even wanted his own life. When it came to Zhou Yu, he actually wanted to use Zhou Yu to force himself to submit. How could Sun Ce not hate Zhang Zhao! So if Zhang Zhao was caught, Sun Ce would tear Zhang Zhao's body into tens of thousands of pieces.
"Give me a secret way, chase, chase!" Sun Ce shouted to his men.
"Yes!" Soon the Jiangdong army jumped into the secret passage one by one. This secret passage is really unfathomable. Kuaiji City can be regarded as a big city, because it is a county after all. It's really not small, this low passage is winding, from Zhang Zhao's home, it can directly lead to a village outside the south gate. If Zhang Zhao's house hadn't been turned upside down, there really wouldn't be such a place.
"Chasing from the south gate, I must catch Zhang Zhao!" Sun Ce asked his men to ride their horses and chase south along the exit of the tunnel. They descended in a natural way, so they must not be able to run fast, and they can be chased back with war horses.
Everyone was thinking that Zhang Zhao would definitely not be able to escape, but only Lu Su beside him frowned. He stretched out his hand to touch the dirt on the tunnel, and it was a little dry. Even the tunnel is gray. Look at the dust on the ground over there. After being stepped on by them, Lu Su subconsciously asked the soldiers of Sun Cejun next to him, "This general!"
"Don't dare, Lu Shangshu! The last general, Yucheng, is a military marquis under the Marquis of Wu, and he doesn't take the title of general!" Ah, even Lu Su, their boss, Sun Ce, wanted to call Lu Shangshu when he saw him, but now he even calls him a general for a small military officer. Just like the central boss, calling a small battalion commander or even a small company commander in a military region a general, how can it not be scary.
"Yu Junhou, I want to ask, how did you discover this secret way!" General is just an honorary title, and Lu Su didn't want to discuss the matter of general with this little Junhou, so he called him directly. up.
"Back to Lu Shangshu, we discovered this secret way after we arrived at Zhang Zhao's mansion!" Yu Cheng said to Lu Su.
"Did you discover it as soon as you arrived at Zhang Zhao's mansion?" Lu Su confirmed again.
Yu Cheng nodded. They were ordered to come to Zhang Zhao's mansion and found the open secret passage before they could investigate carefully. So they sent someone down to investigate.
"Not good!" Lu Su suddenly called out.
"What's the matter, big brother?" Yang Chen next to him asked suspiciously.
"Quickly, hurry up and let him close the east gate and west gate. All the people who pass by are not allowed to leave the city without permission." Lu Su ordered the people under his command.
"En?" Yu Cheng became puzzled. Sun Ce chased after this tunnel. Why are you closing the east and west gates here? Didn't Zhang Zhao leave from the tunnel towards the south gate
The south gate was breached by Lu Su, so the south gate was closed, and the north gate was also breached by Sun Ce, who was also heavily guarded, but the east gate and west gate were different, there was no resistance at all. Therefore, there are few guards. In order not to lose the hearts of the Jiangdong people who have just been taken back, the east gate and west gate are not closed. If there are those people who want to flee, they will not stop them and let them go back. Homecoming.
…
In Kuaiji City, inside a dilapidated private house, some people came out in twos and threes. The sky also started to darken.
"It's almost time!" A deep voice sounded from inside, "It's time for us to leave!"
An old man, a girl, an old woman, a young man, and two middle-aged men with dejected faces. This was like a family that was really about to flee. They rushed towards the west gate of Kuaiji City.
"Master, can this work?" An old woman asked the old man next to her.
"How do you say, don't call me master, call me old man." The old man frowned, showing a look of power without anger, letting people know that this person is not a simple person. "If you talk too much, don't leave! Stay!" A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes as he spoke.
"Hey, hey, old man, old man!" The old woman quickly responded with a trembling in her heart.
"Quan'er, help me, our family will go out of the city and go home!" The old man said to the young man beside him.
"Hey, here we come!" The young man hurried forward to support the old man, and limped towards the direction of the west gate. It seems that this is an old, weak, sick and disabled army, but if you stare carefully, you can see it. See, they walk much faster than normal common people.
"My lord, let me be wronged, and we will talk about other things when we leave the city!" The old man leaned on the young man's body and whispered in his ear.
"En! Master Zhang, I know if you don't tell me." The young man's eyes were dim, but he still nodded.
That's right, this group of people is Zhang Zhao and his master's son, Sun Quan. The whole Zhang family is too much, and it is impossible to get rid of them all. Zhang Zhao is different from the Hao family and the family master of the married family. He believes that life is more important than money, so Zhang Zhao naturally left in batches, that authentic? Hehe, Zhang Zhao dug out this tunnel not to allow himself to escape, but as a cover for himself.
It can't be said to be false, there are also some Zhang family members who left through that tunnel, but they are all partial, and even some servants are nothing more, just to cover Zhang Zhao.
Take that tunnel? That's all courting death. No matter how fast two legs are, can they outrun a war horse? As long as he figured out where the tunnel leads to, he would basically be unable to run away, unless he turned into the deep mountains and old forests, and with Zhang Zhao's body, he wanted to get out after entering.
So Zhang Zhao didn't go that tunnel at all, but put on the clothes of the common people, went to the houses and mixed with the common people, and left with these fleeing common people. This is the safest way. Leave after dark.
As Zhang Zhao said, this road is the safest. Although there are ruins and scum everywhere, it is safe anyway, that is, send it to each other,
"Out of this city gate, as long as you walk along here, you can leave by boat!" Zhang Zhao looked at the west gate with bright eyes. He turned his head and looked at Kuaiji City over there again, "Sun Ce, Liu Mang? I, Zhang Zhao, will definitely come back, just wait!" (To be continued...)
