Chapter 1976: Lu Bu Possesses the Body, the Overlord Is Reborn

Brave, very brave, he was really brave.

The hesitant crowd watched as Prefect Zhao, wearing gorgeous armor and holding a jeweled sword, rushed towards the Jiaxing city gate step by step without hesitation, with awe-inspiring righteousness and fearlessness.

One meter, two meters, three meters.

Although Prefect Zhao was panting and staggering, he still rushed towards the city gate unwaveringly.

One step, one step, and another step.

In the incredible eyes of the crowd, Prefect Zhao staggered to the gate and stretched out his hand to push the gate hard.

At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by Lu Bu, the reincarnation of the Overlord. He stretched out his hand and pushed the city gate open!

"Ah?!"

"Fuck?! No way?! Lord Zhao actually pushed the city gate open!"

"Fuck, he is really a god!"

The people who were dragging their feet and hesitating behind saw that Prefect Zhao pushed the city gate open with a push. Their eyes almost popped out and their mouths opened as big as a copper bell.

Until Prefect Zhao opened the city gate, no arrows were shot down from the city. No Japanese pirates were seen on the city or in the city gate, and no movement from the Japanese pirates was heard. Doesn't that mean that there are no Japanese pirates in the city?!.

The Japanese pirates retreated! !

Leaving an empty city behind! ! !

Everyone reacted belatedly, and then they all became possessed by Lu Bu and the reincarnation of the Overlord. They rushed up bravely and howled, and their speed was so fast.

"Japanese pirates, come and get your life!"

"Japanese pirates, clean your necks and wait, your grandfather is here!"

"Kill, Lord Zhao, wait, don't move, let us go, kill, Japanese pirates, die!"

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, the Japanese pirates abandoned the city, and everyone felt that they were fine again.

Now there was no need for the Japanese pirates' personal soldiers of the prefect Zhao to threaten with long swords.

One by one, they shouted and waved their weapons in their hands, rushing towards the city gate in a mess. At this moment, they were also very brave, as if they were possessed by Lu Bu and the reincarnation of the Overlord.

When Zhu Pingan heard the news, he was eating breakfast, and he was so shocked by the news that he almost dropped the bowl on the ground.

"Oh my god, is the prefect Zhao so brave?!" Zhu Pingan exclaimed in disbelief, as if he heard the sun rising from the west.

How could the prefect Zhao rush to the city gate without hesitation and face death? ! It's a ghost, how is it possible!

Zhu Pingan didn't believe that Zhao Chong could be so brave.

This is not a normal operation at all. Even Lu Bu and Xiang Yu, who were sent from heaven, didn't dare to charge the city alone.

How could Zhao Chong dare? !

"But there was a hidden army that assisted Prefect Zhao in taking Jiaxing City?" Zhu Pingan asked.

"No." The Zhejiang Army scout who reported the news shook his head vigorously.

"What? No?" Zhu Pingan was even more unbelievable.

"My Lord, there really wasn't. We have been watching it all the time. Except for the 3,000 people led by Prefect Zhao, there were no other troops." The scout repeated again.

"Ah?!" Zhu Pingan even suspected that he had heard it wrong. The Yan Party didn't even dispatch troops to help Zhao Chong recapture Jiaxing.

Then the question came!

How did Zhao Chong take Jiaxing City? !

"You have been watching it all the time. How did Prefect Zhao take Jiaxing City?" Zhu Pingan had a question mark in his head.

"My Lord, about half an hour before Prefect Zhao led his troops to attack the city, all the Japanese pirates quietly retreated from the north gate. If you hadn't asked us to keep a close eye on Jiaxing City, we wouldn't have noticed that the Japanese pirates actually retreated. When Prefect Zhao led his troops to attack the city, there was not even a single Japanese pirate in the city. Prefect Zhao and his men got a great bargain and recaptured Jiaxing City without any effort." The scout reported back.

"Huh?! About half an hour before Zhao Chong attacked the city, all the Japanese pirates quietly retreated from the north gate?!"

"Prefect Zhao got a great bargain. There were no Japanese pirates in the city when he attacked the city. He recaptured Jiaxing City without any effort?!"

This is basically a matter of time. The Japanese pirates left and Prefect Zhao attacked the city right after.

Zhu Ping'an touched his chin and frowned. This is too much of a coincidence. No, it's not right.

At first, I thought that the reason why Zhao Zhifu dared to lead 3,000 rabble to recapture Jiaxing was that Zhao Zhifu had other ceremonial guards. I guessed that the Yan Party had mobilized an elite army from other places to assist Zhao Zhifu in recapture Jiaxing City.

However, I never expected that I was wrong. The Yan Party did not mobilize an elite army from other places to assist Zhao Zhifu in recapture Jiaxing City.

Then why did Zhao Zhifu dare to lead 3,000 rabble to recapture Jiaxing City? !

He couldn't have foreseen that the Japanese pirates would withdraw from Jiaxing City before dawn this morning, right? !

Wait

Zhu Pingan suddenly had a start. That's it. The reason why Zhao Zhifu dared to lead 3,000 rabble to recapture Jiaxing City guarded by tens of thousands of Japanese pirates was because he knew that the Japanese pirates would withdraw from Jiaxing City this morning!

If the Japanese pirates withdrew, who couldn't lead the army to recapture Jiaxing City like Lu Bu and the reincarnation of the Overlord.

I can do it too.

But the question is, how did Prefect Zhao know that the Japanese pirates would withdraw from Jiaxing before dawn this morning? !

Could it be that he had foresight and could predict the future? !

Nonsense!

Zhu Pingan immediately denied this.

Could it be that Prefect Zhao had an insider among the Japanese pirates, who knew that the Japanese pirates would withdraw from Jiaxing before dawn this morning and told Prefect Zhao?

That's not right either!

If this is the case, this insider must have a high status among the Japanese pirates, at least within the core leadership of the Japanese pirates. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to know such confidential information, and the core leadership of the Japanese pirates are Xu Hai, Maye and others. They only have a few right-hand men.

It has only been half a month since the Japanese invaders captured Jiaxing and the prefect Zhao fled hastily.

In such a short time, can Governor Zhao bribe the core leadership of the Japanese pirates to act as internal agents? !

Even if Magistrate Zhao bribed Xu Hai and Maye's right-hand men as internal agents, it only took less than half a month. Can Magistrate Zhao trust them? Can Magistrate Zhao believe the intelligence they send out?

impossible!

It was impossible that just by their words, they dared to lead a mob of 3,000 people to regain Jiaxing.

Zhao Chong would never risk his own head!

No normal person would!

So how did Governor Zhao know the exact news that the Japanese pirates would withdraw from Jiaxing City before dawn this morning? !

suddenly

Zhu Ping'an thought of the folk rumors that have been widely circulated recently. Rumor has it that on the day Jiaxing fell, Magistrate Zhao did not resist until the end as the official said. He felt that nothing could be done, so he went out of the city to ask for reinforcements. As soon as the Japanese pirates invaded Jiaxing, Magistrate Zhao wanted to lower the rope and abandon the city. However, he was afraid of heights when lowering the rope, fearing that he would fall to the bottom of the city and die. So he was unable to lower the rope, and was captured by the Japanese pirates during the process.
