Han Xuan got out of bed feeling restless early in the morning. For some reason, as soon as he fell asleep, he remembered Huang Zhong's words that Ji Shu had taken precautions.
During this period of time, Jiangdong Army had put too much pressure on them, but seeing Jiangdong Army's lax defense, Han Xuan couldn't help but agree to his brother's plan.
You must know that if they can capture Luoxian Port and force Ji Shu to retire, the two brothers will be the great contributors to Jinghan, and their career will be bright.
Shaking his head, Han Xuan was secretly annoyed that he was still looking forward and backward like a little woman, afraid of this or that?
Much earlier than usual, Han Xuan put on his official uniform and asked his servants to notify other generals to go to the city to inspect the defense.
In fact, compared to Han Xuan, several other commanders got up earlier, which is a common practice in the military. Therefore, when Han Xuan arrived at the starting point of the inspection, they had been waiting here for a long time as usual.
Just after walking two sections of the city wall, a soldier chased him from behind and reported.
"Your Excellency, the Governor of Wuling, Jin Xuan, has been repelled by Ling Tong, the commander under Ji Shu..."
Han Xuan felt his vision go dark, and he was so angry that he wished he could throw dozens of vases to the ground around him to vent his anger.
"Trash! He was defeated in just one day. This Jin Xuan is really a trash!"
Han Xuan suddenly froze, and he screamed like crazy.
"Quick, quick, quick! Send a fast horse out of the city immediately to chase Han Hao back to me!"
Wu Ban, another commander under Han Hao, quickly agreed and turned around to go down and arrange the fast horses. Unexpectedly, the soldier who had reported the military situation before continued speaking tremblingly.
"Han, General Han Hao was ambushed by Gan Ning last night and died in the rebel army."
There was deathly silence on top of the city.
Han Xuan stared at the soldier who reported the news with wide eyes and disbelief. He only felt a "buzzing" roar in his ears, and his breath was blocked in his chest.
It was my fault! I shouldn't have let him go out and take risks! It was me who killed Han Hao!
The news of his brother's death in battle deeply hit Han Xuan and brought him to the point of collapse. He finally understood the pain of those who lost their loved ones in the war.
Han Xuan collapsed to the ground weakly.
"Lord Prefect!"
Everyone around him quickly stepped forward to help Han Xuan, allowing Han Xuan to rest against the wall.
But the intense self-blame made Han Xuan unable to breathe, and he needed someone to hate even more.
"Gan Ning, Ji Shu, I will never give up with you!"
Han Xuan waited for a while and cursed in pain.
Everyone around him was at a loss, with confusion, worry, and fear evident on their faces.
Do we really want to fight again? Can you win?
Huang Zhong sighed and gritted his teeth to persuade.
"My condolences, Lord Prefect!"
"It's just that the Jiangdong Army is unstoppable at the moment. The Wuling reinforcements have been repelled. The Guiyang reinforcements are expected to be unable to break through the Jiangdong Army. Changsha is isolated and helpless, and the army has no fighting spirit."
"Please also ask the Grand Administrator to take care of the lives of the three thousand soldiers in Changsha!"
Han Xuan stared at Huang Zhong, and he didn't know where he got the strength to stand up. He pointed at Huang Zhong and cursed.
"Then what do you mean, you want me to surrender in Kaicheng?"
Huang Zhong lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that Han Xuangang was deeply saddened by the loss of his biological brother and should not say such words. But if I don't open this door for everyone, will I really see the soldiers below being buried with Han Hao because of this?
Wu Ban rolled his eyes, stood behind Han Xuan and angrily accused Huang Zhongdao.
"Master Taishou, Jiangdong Army's defense is lax. How could General Han be easily discovered when he leaves the city in the middle of the night? I think some old guy who is bent on surrender has passed the news to Jiangdong Army!"
This statement shocked everyone, and Han Xuan pointed at Huang Zhong and yelled with a ferocious expression.
"Come here, take down Huang Zhong for me!"
Upon hearing the order, Han Xuan's soldiers immediately stepped forward, grabbed Huang Zhong, and pushed him to the ground.
Huang Zhong didn't resist, he just knelt on the ground and said eagerly.
"Master Taishou Mingjian, General Han and I have no enmity or enmity, and I have never had any intention of harming him!"
One of Huang Zhong's commanders, Cheng Zhi, was even more anxious. He knew that Wu Ban got to the position of commander by relying on connections and flattery, but he didn't expect that this insidious villain would target Huang Zhong today.
Despite the high-sounding and indignant words Wu Ban was talking about now, if Jiangdong's army really attacked, Cheng Zhi was sure that Wu Ban would be the first to surrender.
"Master Taishou, don't believe Wu Ban's spouting. General Huang only said this because he was worried about the lives of the soldiers. He would never tip off the Jiangdong Army!"
Seeing Cheng Zhi kneeling down to plead for Huang Zhong, Han Xuan remained unmoved.
"Are you worried about the soldiers? I think you want to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country! Cheng Zhi, is it possible that when you plead for Huang Zhong, you also have the intention of surrender?"
Cheng Zhi broke into a cold sweat. Shangguan could think of such a thing, but it was a sin for them to have such thoughts.
"The general will not dare."
"enough!"
Han Xuan didn't even look at Cheng Zhi, he just looked down at Huang Zhong coldly.
At this point, he will never surrender to the Jiangdong Army who killed his brother. The rest is either a miraculous comeback for the Han army, or he and the Jiangdong army will perish together.
As for the unpredictable "trash" in front of me...
"Come here, pull down and behead this old man who colluded with the Jiangdong Army and betrayed the King of Han!"
This is mixed with Han Xuan's venting of anger and his determination.
"Master Taishou, think twice! General Huang has absolutely no different intentions!"
Cheng Zhi thought that Han Xuanzhen just believed Wu Ban's words and quickly begged. He also pulled Wei Yan beside him, trying to get Wei Yan to plead with him, but Wei Yan glanced at him inexplicably, glanced at his hand, and turned away.
Not to mention Huang Zhong and Cheng Zhi, even Han Xuan and Wu Ban were stunned. They did not expect this situation to happen.
Wei Yan was famous for his eccentric temperament in the army, and he would not have been able to serve as a commander if he had not been highly capable and outstanding.
Han Xuan smiled happily and killed Huang Zhong. He still had Wei Yan to use.
"Huang Zhong, you see that even the commanders under your command don't speak for you anymore, what else do you have to say?"
Huang Zhong lowered his head in frustration.
In fact, Han Xuan was originally a good prefect.
Although there are some unspoken rules of officialdom in the county, where are they not? At least Han Xuan did not exploit the people, so the people's livelihood in Changsha is still good. Besides, when Jiangdong Army attacked, he personally inspected the defense every day without slacking off.
But now, Han Xuan is a little broken.
He suddenly discovered how satisfying it is to control other people's lives like this. Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. It is so satisfying to do whatever you want!
It turns out that those tyrants and reviled traitors all live so happily?
Han Xuan laughed wantonly.
"Come here, drag Huang Zhong down and kill him..."
Whoosh!
Han Xuan's words were interrupted.
He lowered his head and found an arrow stuck in his chest. The long arrow nearly penetrated his chest, and he spit out a mouthful of blood from his throat.
Han Xuan couldn't see anything alive, and everyone was stunned.
Slowly raising his head, Han Xuanjin looked straight.
Seventy or eighty steps away, Wei Yan was holding a bow and arrow and aiming at this place. The bowstring was still trembling slightly.
"You! Why?"
A soldier next to him had obviously handed his bow and arrow to Wei Yan, and he was already frightened.
Wei Yan then took out another long arrow from the arrow pot on the soldier's back.
Whoosh!
The long arrow pierced Han Xuan's throat.
The sudden situation prevented everyone from immediately thinking of rescuing Han Xuan. At this moment, seeing the long arrow piercing the throat, they had no other thoughts.
what happened?
There wasn't even such a question in everyone's mind, they just looked at what was happening in front of them with a blank mind.
Han Xuan knelt down and stared at Wei Yan with wide eyes.
Whoosh!
Wei Yan said nothing, raised his hand and hit Han Xuan's head with another arrow.
boom!
Han Xuan fell to the ground in response.
Wei Yan pulled out another arrow and pointed it at Wu Ban.
Wu Ban reacted immediately. He begged with a look of horror on his face and dancing around.
"No! General Wei, no! No!"
Wei Yan was unmoved and still drew the bowstring.
Whoosh!
Wu Ban wanted to run, but he couldn't.
