As he pondered deeply, a sudden sound of hurried footsteps approached from afar. A soldier rushed up the stairs, kneeling on one knee before Hulanmu and reported urgently, "General, it's bad! The situation in the city has become increasingly chaotic, and various rumors are spreading."
Hulanmu's heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What rumors? Speak quickly!"
The soldier took a deep breath and continued, "I don't know where the news originated, but it claims that the Wu Kingdom's army has over fifty thousand troops and will soon be at our gates to attack Uto City."
Once this news spread, many citizens began to frantically hoard food, causing prices to soar.
Upon hearing this, Hulanmu felt a heavy weight in his heart, an ominous premonition rising within him. He was a seasoned general who had fought in many battles; what kind of storms had he not weathered? Yet at this moment, he sensed that something was amiss.
There was no doubt that someone was deliberately spreading rumors to incite panic. Based on Hulanmu's experience, he could guess without much thought that the mastermind behind this was most likely the approaching Wu Kingdom.
They intended to disrupt the morale of the people and weaken our resistance through such despicable means.
Thinking of this, Hulanmu turned solemnly to face his soldiers and shouted loudly, "Brothers! With these rumors circulating in the city, do not panic. We must hold our ground and reassure the citizens. Tell them that as long as I, Hulanmu, am here defending the city for a day, we will not retreat an inch!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several of his trusted subordinates immediately clasped their fists and vowed, "General, rest assured! your humble general and the others will not fail in their mission and will do everything possible to reassure the citizens!"
They hurriedly dispersed to different neighborhoods to convey General Hulanmu's steadfast resolve to the people.
Speaking of Jing Kingdom, although most of its territory consisted of vast grasslands and desolate deserts, not all areas were like that. For instance, in Uto City, most residents did not rely on nomadic life but engaged in various trades and transactions.
If it weren't for this trade, how would the people living on these grasslands obtain goods from the Wu Kingdom and Liang Kingdom?
It was precisely because of these trade exchanges that Uto City became a prosperous and vibrant place.
After arranging for his subordinates to calm the panicked citizens of the city with a grave expression, Hulanmu then called over one of his most trusted confidants with urgency. Lowering his voice and speaking seriously yet urgently, he said, "Now that rumors are flying everywhere in the city causing unrest among the people, I suspect this must be the wicked spies sent by the Wu Kingdom stirring trouble behind the scenes!"
"Go investigate immediately and find out what is really going on behind this! Remember, do not alert the enemy!"
The trusted aide responded with a fist salute, "Yes! I will obey!"
With that, he turned and dashed away like an arrow released from a bow.
Although unsettling events were unfolding in the city, Hulanmu remained completely calm and composed. For someone like him, seasoned by countless battles and rich in experience, dealing with such situations was second nature.
His gaze was resolute as he slowly uttered four words: " "Rebel against Wu."."
