Chapter 1616: Dog Eats Dog

Bang!

Takeshi Sanada in Ishigaka Castle angrily smashed a cup on the ground and stood up with a cold face.

Several lords in the south not only refused to come to Shigao City to surrender, but even dared to recruit soldiers?

"Have you found out?"

Takeshi Sanada asked the spy who was sent out with an angry face.

"I have found out everything! They are indeed recruiting soldiers!"

The spy answered cautiously.

"court death!"

Sanada Takeshi roared, and suddenly looked puzzled, "Have you found out why they suddenly went back on their word and refused to surrender?"

"This……"

The spy shook his head slightly, "I haven't figured out the reason yet."

"Then explore again!"

Takeshi Sanada waved his hands irritably.

The spy did not dare to delay and retreated immediately.

As soon as the spy left, Wang Qi and Qin Qihu, who had received the news, rushed over.

"what happened?"

Wang Qi frowned and asked Sanada Takeshi: "I heard that those lords suddenly refused to surrender and started recruiting soldiers. Are they going to go back on their word and fight us to the death?"

"should be."

Takeshi Sanada also looked very bad.

"Damn it, these people are sick!"

Qin Qihu cursed and said, "If they don't surrender, why do they want us to enter Shigao City?"

"I wonder too."

Wang Qi looked at Sanada Takeshi and Tanaka Nobu suspiciously, "Logically speaking, they have even opened the door, there is no reason to resist at this time! Their sudden change, is there any misunderstanding about us?"

"I have sent people to investigate."

Sanada Takeshi felt a little guilty, but his face was still annoyed: "Let's send someone to report this to His Highness first!"

"That's true!"

Wang Qi nodded and sighed worriedly: "I hope His Highness won't get furious when he receives the news!"

"It would be strange if you don't."

Qin Qihu curled his lips, "We were supposed to be able to return to the capital in a few days, but such a big change happened at this time. I guess His Highness will start cursing when he receives the news."

"I also think that this matter is indeed strange."

Tian Zhongxin looked at Wang Qi and Qin Qihu and said, "I would like to ask the two generals to send someone to investigate the cause of this matter! In this way, if His Highness asks about it, we will have an explanation."

Tanaka Nobuyuki has realized that this matter is most likely related to Takeshi Sanada.

But he has no evidence now and doesn't even know the situation clearly.

He also didn't believe the results of the investigation conducted by the people sent by Takeshi Sanada, so he wanted to ask Wang Qi and Qin Qihu to send people to investigate as well.

"We will definitely investigate!"

Wang Qi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Since something unexpected has happened, you must be prepared to wipe them out!"

"We need to investigate the cause, but we must also prepare for war! Also, send more scouts to spy on the enemy's movements. Don't fall into their trap!"

"Also, the original army in the city must be under control!"

"Anyone who dares to spread rumors and confuse the people and disrupt the morale of the army will be killed immediately! In order to avoid the occurrence of a roar in the camp..."

Wang Qi frowned and warned the two of them seriously.

It seems that he is also very angry about this matter.

"Ok!"

The two nodded heavily.

Takeshi Sanada's mind also became active.

This matter shouldn't be traced to him, right?

After all, the man he sent to shoot the arrows had already been quietly executed by him.

As long as he is not investigated, once the cause is clear, Tanaka Nobuyuki will be the biggest suspect!

Brother Zhao's move was truly ingenious!

……

A day later, the scouts sent out by Wang Qi and Sanada Takeshi brought back news.

They have not yet figured out the specific reasons why those lords went back on their words.

However, rumors are everywhere in the South now.

Some people say that as long as Yun Zheng and Sanada Takeshi's army march into the south, a massacre will be launched.

Some people also said that Yun Zheng and Sanada Takeshi would not allow the Yu people in the south to surrender at all. They had been deceiving those lords before, but now that they had obtained Shigao City, their true colors were revealed.

Others said that Takeshi Sanada was afraid that the southern lords would threaten his position, and he wanted to completely eliminate them and their forces.

Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors nowadays.

But all the rumors are related to Takeshi Sanada.

It seems that Takeshi Sanada is the culprit of all this.

"fart!"

Upon hearing the news, Takeshi Sanada flew into a rage: "Slander! Someone must have maliciously slandered me!"

As he spoke, Takeshi Sanada's eyes swept over Tanaka Nobuyuki.

Although Takeshi Sanada did not mention any names, his meaning was clear.

"General Sanada, why are you looking at me?"

Tanaka Nobu looked at Sanada Takeshi coldly, "Are you trying to put the blame on me?"

"I told you it was you? Why are you so impatient to jump out?"

Sanada Takeshi snorted coldly and asked in a sarcastic tone, "Why, are you feeling guilty?"

"Nonsense!"

Tanaka Nobuo angrily shouted: "Who doesn't want the southern lords to surrender? Everyone knows it! I believe that Your Highness knows it too!"

"I know that too!"

Takeshi Sanada suddenly raised his voice and stared at Tanaka Nobuyuki.

Tanaka Nobuyuki also stared at Sanada Takeshi.

The two of them were like two fighting cocks, and it seemed like they were about to fight at any moment.

"Shut up, both of you!"

Wang Qi interrupted the two with a sullen face, "What happened will be cleared up sooner or later! But now, it should be impossible to make those lords surrender! Instead of doubting each other, you might as well prepare for war! I estimate that His Highness's order will arrive soon."

As if to confirm Wang Qi's words, a soldier hurried in the moment he finished speaking.

"My Lord, and Madam Jiayao are on their way! They will arrive before dark."

what?

When they learned that Yun Zheng had brought Jia Yao with him, their faces changed color.

Takeshi Sanada was also secretly worried.

His Highness actually came here in person?

It seems that His Highness is very angry about this matter!

I hope Your Highness will not doubt me!

At this moment, Takeshi Sanada began to feel a little regretful.

He should think it over carefully before making a decision.

But now, it's too late to regret.

"Get ready!"

Wang Qi raised his eyes and looked at Sanada Takeshi and Tanaka Nobu, "If something unexpected happens, His Highness may not want to kill anyone, but if you don't prepare for war and still fight among yourselves here, you may really lose your heads!"

After hearing Wang Qi's words, the two of them were suddenly moved and no longer had the desire to fight. They quickly organized their troops and prepared for war.

After the two left, Wang Qi and Qin Qihu couldn't help but look at each other silently.

"You say, should we also ask for a fight?"

Qin Qihu asked Wang Qi with a smile: "Since we have nothing to do anyway, it would be a good thing to kill a few more people to avenge the people of Yuzhou."

"Your Highness will not let us go to war."

Wang Qi smiled helplessly: "You know His Highness well. He wants to reduce the number of deaths among our people! Just watch the fun with peace of mind!"

Qin Qihu heard this and smiled helplessly.

Of course he understood Yun Zheng's thoughts.

However, just watching others charge into battle while he himself was just watching the excitement made him really want to do something...
