The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

The next day, Ji Ling led his troops to the foot of Wuxian City. He saw elite soldiers standing on the city wall, flags fluttering, and crossbowmen standing alertly on the frozen city wall.

Yang Hong, on the other hand, hid in the army and closely watched every move of the Han army and Ji Ling. He saw Han general Zhang Liao standing on the city wall.

"Hey! General Zhang please come out of the city to answer the question. General Zhang please come out of the city to answer the question!"

Zhang Liao: "General Ji! What the king said in his letter last night must not be wrong."

Ji Ling was very confused. What was in the letter last night that was delayed? "Huh? This..."

After hearing this, Yang Hong, who was hiding in the army, could no longer hold himself back. Ji Ling, as His Majesty expected, had already rebelled. Otherwise, how could he have delayed the military plane and tampered with military orders without authorization? !

Zhang Liao admitted it himself, the evidence is ironclad!
"Ji Ling! What crime do you deserve?!"

Yang Hong rode his horse and rushed towards Ji Ling from behind, shouting, but Ji Ling's subordinates tried their best to stop him.

"Yang Hong, don't talk nonsense. I...I have absolutely no evil intentions."

Yang Hong saw that they were outnumbered and he would definitely not be able to please him if he turned against them. "Oh! Drive!..." He could only turn around resentfully and lead his troops to leave.

Looking at Yang Hong's leaving figure, Ji Ling was also very upset.

"General!"

"what!"

"Yang Hong relied on His Majesty's trust and kept slandering him. After this incident, he will definitely make things more difficult for the Lord. It is said that our army cannot defeat the Han army. Even if we win, I am afraid that Your Majesty will not tolerate us. It is better to surrender to King Zhenbei. In the future, Don’t lose your status as a prince.”

"Don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty has treated me with great kindness. How can I break my promise now?"

"The general invites you, but Yang Hong is unjust! I hope the general will think twice for tens of thousands of people."

Most of the people in Yuan's army were forcibly recruited and could not form effective combat capabilities. The war-weariness in the army was very serious. Ji Ling saw it and was anxious in his heart.

"Ugh!"

On this day, Ji Ling did not choose to attack the city. He was sleepless late at night, tossing and turning.

At the same time, Yang Hong's informant letter was also sent to Yuan Shu's camp in Shen County.

At this time, Yuan Shu was drinking and having fun with a dozen concubines in the big tent, and there were even dozens of beautiful singers singing.

He touched the left and right waist and thighs, his hands were delicate and smooth, and he felt very comfortable, "It is really good to be an emperor." He felt interested and said he waved off the guards and had some fun with the beauties.

There were dozens of them, each different, and Yuan Shu felt that this was the greatest pleasure of being an emperor.

"Your Majesty, Yang Hong is reporting urgently."

Yuan Shu was not happy to have his interest interrupted. When he received Yang Hong's urgent report, he became even more furious!

"This happened!" Yuan Shu was furious. He touched Mei Ji's hand and pinched her hard. Na Meiji cried in pain and couldn't help screaming.

Yuan Shu shivered with fright, became even more furious, and kicked the beautiful girl out, "Pull her out and chop her!"

"Here."

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!..."

The guards on the left and right were very sorry, but they still dragged her out. Mei Ji's voice became more and more distant. Before the execution, her clothes were torn and broken, and she didn't know what happened.

Yuan Shu was still angry after killing someone, and shouted: "No wonder it has been more than ten days. Zhang Xun has been sending emergency rescue letters every day, but Ji Ling has not heard anything. I see! Ji Ling must have surrendered to the enemy! Someone, please tell me." Go down and kill Ji Ling!"

After Yan Xiang received the news, he came over all night to dissuade him: "Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

"Yan Xiang, you stopped me last time, and you stopped me again this time. Do I really dare not kill you?!"

"His Majesty……"

"Ji Ling's rebellious heart is clearly exposed. You...you still dare to defend him?! If Zhang Xun cannot be rescued, I will definitely kill Ji Ling!"

Xiao County.

The Han army harassed the city for days, but did not attack, and finally exhausted the soldiers, horses and food in the city.

"General, we...have run out of food."

"Are the big players in the city unwilling to cooperate?"

"…Yes."

The powerful nobles in the city saw that Yuan Jun was no match for the Han army, and changed their previous attitude towards Zhang Xun. In order to avoid Liu Han's liquidation, they refused to cooperate with Zhang Xun.

"Hmph! A bunch of wallflowers, pass my order to kill them!"

"But..." The deputy general wanted to stop him. Once the powerful nobles in the city were angered, they would join forces and form a large force. With Zhao Yun outside and the nobles inside, Xiao County would be even more dangerous.

"You want to starve?"

"Do not want to."

"Then listen to me!"

"General, if they join forces, we..."

"So, we need to take advantage of them when they are not prepared and strike first."

"...here."

The most numerous gentry in Pei Kingdom is the Liu gentry, where the legacy of Emperor Gaozu lies. However, they are no longer the help of the Han Dynasty. Instead, they have become moths attached to the Han Dynasty. Liu Han originally planned to clean up after the war, but he did not expect Zhang Xun to take action first this time. .

The Liu family members in Xiao County became the target of Zhang Xun's robbery and were brutally destroyed.

In troubled times, all the previously established and default rules have been broken, and violence has become the most effective rule. Whoever has a bigger fist has the right to speak.

"Hahaha... Xiao County is really rich!"

Digging three feet into the ground from the powerful nobles, Zhang Xun not only harvested a large amount of food, but also a huge amount of wealth. He distributed it to his subordinate nobles, which greatly improved their morale.

"Zhao Yun, I want to see, what are you going to do next?!"

Is Zhao Yun in a hurry outside Xiao County?

No rush, no rush at all.

Now he used catapults to scare the enemy troops in the city every day. He had nothing else to do. Killing Zhang Xun was secondary. The main thing was to cooperate with Zhang Liao in persuading Ji Ling to surrender.

"Zhang Xun... is cruel enough."

After receiving the information, Zhao Yun had to praise Zhang Xun for his ruthlessness and decisiveness, "pass the information to the lord."

"Here."

Wu County, Yuan Jun's camp.

Different from the usual messengers, this time Li Ye came in person to represent Yuan Shu - to question the crime.

"Ji Ling, do you admit your guilt?"

"I don't know what will happen next."

"Hmph! You're still being stubborn right now, come on!"

"exist!"

"Take it with me!"

Li Ye looked around, but no one dared to step forward and take down Ji Ling.

The scene suddenly became awkward.

"Huh? Do you have to resist the decree?"

"..."

Li Ye shouted sternly: "Do you want to rebel?!"

"okay!"

Ji Ling spoke and stretched out his hands, "Come on."

The soldier reluctantly walked to Ji Ling's side.

Li Ye's expression softened: "Take him down. I will be in charge of the Wu County camp for now. Tomorrow Yang Hong will take you back to Shen County. What grievances do you have? Let's wait until we meet His Majesty."

Ji Ling remained silent, and the atmosphere in the army was extremely oppressive.

Li Ye frowned when he saw this. He had thought that Ji Ling's army had a high prestige, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

"Fortunately, I caught the traitor in time, otherwise the army might only know the general and not the king."

No matter what, when the war is over, Ji Ling must be dealt with. Even if he does not die, he must be deprived of his military power for life and become a rich man.

"After seeing what I saw today, I will write a letter as soon as possible and present it to Your Majesty."
