As these Xiongnu continued to clamor, Jiang Chen merely gave a look, and someone quickly stepped forward, drawing a bow and nocking an arrow.

Before they could react, the Xiongnu standing in the front fell to the ground.

While the Xiongnu were still in confusion, ten thousand arrows were fired from the city wall, and countless unprepared Xiongnu were directly shot down, completely losing their breath on the ground.

This initial loss ignited the bloodlust in the hearts of the Xiongnu. Before the general could issue an order, some had already spurred their horses, leading their tribes to charge forward.

Unfortunately, their cavalry could not play any role in front of the city wall.

Apart from leaving a few corpses in vain, there were no results.

The morale that had just been ignited was instantly dealt a heavy blow.

But Jiang Chen knew that this was just an appetizer for what was to come.

"Your Majesty, all the spies in the city have been arrested according to your instructions. How about we drag them all to the city wall and behead them in public to demoralize the enemy's arrogance?"

Just as someone mentioned this, Jiang Chen waved his hand to dismiss the idea.

"No one should have revealed the news of our arrival at Shimen Pass to the Xiongnu. Their reaction shows they are completely unaware of the situation inside the pass."

"Since the enemy's strength is several times that of ours, these spies will be our best means to restrain them."

Jiang Chen's words left everyone confused.

While they were still trying to figure out what Jiang Chen was up to, a spy had already been brought up by Jiang Chen's men.

"You should know your situation now, right?"

As Jiang Chen spoke, his eyes narrowed, constantly playing with the long sword in his hand.

Next to him, several other people were being held down on the ground, trembling.

Perhaps realizing what Jiang Chen was about to do, this man stubbornly raised his neck.

"Seeing you like this, since you're unwilling to cooperate, then I'll have to trouble you to go to another world and wait for them first."

Before the spy could open his mouth, Jiang Chen directly ended his life with a sword.

The remaining people, realizing that Jiang Chen did not seem to be joking with them, quickly crawled towards him.

"Please spare our lives, we were only doing these things out of desperation to support our families. If you are willing to spare our lives, we will do anything, even be your slaves."

Although they were constantly begging for mercy, the rolling eyes of these people betrayed their inner thoughts. Before they could say anything more, Jiang Chen killed another person.

Such cruel methods made these spies gradually realize that they seemed to have provoked an opponent they shouldn't have provoked this time.

Perhaps due to extreme fear, the remaining few opened their mouths, but couldn't say a word.

But unexpectedly, even so, Jiang Chen still didn't stop his actions.

It wasn't until only three people were left that Jiang Chen sheathed his sword.

"Heaven has chosen to let you three live, and I can't disrespect Heaven's will. But the right to decide these things is ultimately in your own hands."

"I hope you can understand what to do."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he directly sheathed his sword and strode out.

Seeing Jiang Chen's back, the three scrambled to Jiang Chen's side, tightly hugging his thigh.

"Please tell us what to do, we can do anything you ask us to do."

Now that these guys had finally understood his meaning, those guys who had been killed by Jiang Chen earlier had not died in vain.

"From today onwards, the three of you will follow what is written on this to pass these things on to the people responsible for receiving your messages. If I find out that you dare to add anything of your own, then don't blame me for not showing you any mercy."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the three nodded repeatedly.

"After sending out these intelligence reports as required, I will give you updated information. Remember, your lives are now in my hands. If you don't do as I say, you should understand what the consequences will be."

After saying this, Jiang Chen threw three bamboo slips to them and walked into the pavilion without looking back.

Watching Jiang Chen's back, the three had different expressions, but noticing the glaring guards standing beside them, they had no choice but to leave quickly.

Not long after, several pigeons flew from there. Just as the sharpshooters were preparing to shoot the pigeons down, Jiang Chen stopped them.

"I want to see if these people will honestly send back what I gave them. If they really do as I said, then a civil war will probably break out within the Xiongnu soon."

Thinking of the three completely different letters he had written, Jiang Chen's mouth curled up.

No matter which side is trusted by the other, the guy wearing his armor will definitely not have a good time.

While Jiang Chen was waiting for good news, the city wall was still bustling. As more and more houses in Shimen Pass were dismantled into their components, the stocks of rolling logs and stones were unprecedentedly abundant.

"Your Majesty, is it necessary for us to do this? The Xiongnu haven't launched an attack yet, but we're doing this, which has already caused a lot of complaints in the pass. I'm afraid there are still spies hiding too deeply, taking this opportunity to stir up people's hearts."

While many ministers were worried about this, Jiang Chen showed an attitude of watching a play.

"You don't need to worry about these things. Everyone should just watch a good show. But I hope that some of you don't get too involved in the play and ruin your future."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Jiang Chen's words, everyone present took a step back subconsciously.

But they couldn't figure out what Jiang Chen was up to.

Just as they were all thinking wildly about this, Jiang Chen's thoughts had quietly drifted outside the city.

At this time, in the Xiongnu camp, countless people were on edge, and a conflict seemed likely to break out at any time.

"I knew why this guy kept stopping us from directly breaking through the fortress several times before. It turns out he is our biggest enemy."

"That's right, if we had taken it in one go back then, he would have already broken through Shimen Pass and entered the pass to wantonly burn, kill, and plunder."

"Now that those guys are prepared, how can we easily break through the pass?"
