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 Luoxian Port can be captured and Ji Shu is forced to retire, the two brothers will be the great contributors to Jinghan, and their official 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?

It was 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, several other commanders got up earlier than Han Xuan, 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 Majesty, the Grand Administrator of Wuling, Jin Xuan, the Grand Administrator of Wuling, 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 had dozens of vases around him and threw them to the ground 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 to speak tremblingly.

"Han, General Han Hao was ambushed by Gan Ning last night and died in the rebel army."

There was deathly silence on the 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's my fault! I shouldn't have let him take risks! It was me who killed Han Hao!

The news of his brother's death in the war hit Han Xuan deeply and nearly collapsed. He finally realized the pain of losing a loved one in the war.

Han Xuan collapsed to the ground helplessly.

"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 paused for a moment and cursed in agony.

Everyone around him was at a loss, with confusion, worry, and fear evident on their faces.

Do we really want to fight? Can we 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 repulsed. 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 take care of the lives of the three thousand soldiers in Changsha, Lord Taishou!"

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 you mean to ask 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 he shouldn't say such words. But if he didn't speak out for others, would he 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 even pointed at Huang Zhong and yelled with a ferocious expression.

"Come here, help me capture Huang Zhong!"

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 grievances and 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 had relied on connections and flattery to get into the position of commander, but he didn't expect that this insidious villain would target Huang Zhong today.

Despite Wu Ban's high-sounding words and righteous indignation, 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.

"Worrying about the soldiers? I think they want to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country! Cheng Zhi, are you pleading for Huang Zhong with the intention of surrender?"

Cheng Zhi broke into a cold sweat. Shangguan could think of such things, 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 will either be a miraculous comeback by the Han Army, or he and the Jiangdong Army will die 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 wrong intentions!"

Cheng Zhi thought Han Xuanzhen just listened to Wu Ban's words, and quickly begged. He also pulled Wei Yan beside him, hoping that Wei Yan would plead with him. Unexpectedly, Wei Yan glanced at him inexplicably, turned around and left.

Not to mention Huang Zhong and Cheng Zhi, even Han Xuan and Wu Ban were stunned.

Wei Yan was famous for his eccentric temperament in the army. If he were not very capable, he would not be able to be a leader if he stood out from the crowd.

Instead of blaming Wei Yan for leaving without saying goodbye, Han Xuan smiled happily.

If Huang Zhong is killed, he will still have Wei Yan to use.

"Huang Zhong, you see even the commanders under your command can't speak for you, what else do you have to say?"

Huang Zhong lowered his head in despair.

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 has not exploited the people, so the people's livelihood in Changsha is still good. Besides, when Jiangdong's army attacked, he also 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 the 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 string of the bow was still trembling slightly.

"You! Why?"

A soldier next to him had obviously given 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 his throat, they had no other thoughts.

what happened?

Everyone didn't even have such questions, they just looked at what was happening in front of them with blank minds.

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.

Bang!

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 looked frightened and begged while dancing.

"No! General Wei, no! No!"

Wei Yan was unmoved and still drew the bowstring.

Whoosh!
Chapter completed!
