The other end.

Huo Zhaoxun led his men to guard the city at the city gate. When Chen Jimao led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Huaishang and saw the young man standing on the tower in the distance, he immediately understood that he had been tricked and was immediately ready to order the withdrawal of troops.

But it was already too late. The men and horses that Pingnan Hou had ambushed early were ready to attack. They rushed up from all directions and completely blocked the Xuan army's retreat.

Chen Jimao couldn't help but cry out in grief, "The emperor made a mistake for me!"

When he originally learned the news that Huo Zhaoxun was injured, he guessed that it might be a trap, so he remained unmoved at all.

But he didn't know where the emperor got the news. He knew that Pingnanhou was seriously injured and couldn't afford it. He was immediately excited. He rushed an order from eight hundred miles away from the capital, ordering him to send troops immediately while Huo Zhaoxun fell seriously injured and the morale of the army was unstable.

Huaishang must regain the lost mountains and rivers of Daxuan.

Chen Jimao was actually very disgusted with the fact that the emperor didn't know anything, but he liked to point fingers.

However, the emperor's order could not be violated. Knowing that there was most likely a trap ahead, Chen Jimao could only order his troops and set off. He could only secretly hope in his heart that Marquis Pingnan would really fall.

It's a pity that God is not on his side after all!

There was a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides. Even if Chen Jimao was a veteran with rich combat experience, it would be difficult to restore the situation.

Huo Zhaoxun stood on the tower and suddenly shouted at him, "General Chen, Huo Jing, you are a brave and capable hero. I have no intention of taking your life. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, I can let you go."

Chen Jimao made a "poof" sound and cursed, "You rebellious traitor, don't try to confuse me! The Daxuan Dynasty gave birth to you and raised you, but you are ungrateful. Instead, you repay kindness with hatred, actively provoke wars, and make the world miserable! You are such an ungrateful white-eyed person."

Wolf, I would rather die than follow you!"

Huo Zhaoxun clenched his two hands behind his back into fists.

He sneered, "In the eyes of General Chen, are the people you are sworn to protect to the death the people of the world, or the rotten Daxuan royal family?"

"What's the difference? As long as the Daxuan royal family is stable, the people of the world can live in peace, but you, a little thief and a coward, are so ambitious that you can only live a good life, and you have to disturb the peace of the world!"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Pingchuan next to Huo Zhaoxun became angry, "Good days? The old prince has been fighting on the battlefield for the stability of the Daxuan Dynasty for half his life, but what did he get in the end? Just because

At the slightest hint of suspicion, the Dog Emperor swung the butcher's knife at him, even sacrificing his life with the lives of thirty thousand soldiers! This is the royal family that you swear allegiance to! In addition to the old Marquis, there is also the Marquis's mother and his two brothers. Where are they?

Didn’t one of them die in vain?”

"If it is really a good life, who doesn't want to live it well? But in reality, the Marquis has been driven out and killed by the emperor, and there is no way to retreat. Apart from rebelling, does he have any other way out?"

"And General Chen, please open your eyes and see how the people in the world you protect are living now. Don't say that the Marquis brought all this. You can just ask,

Since when have they been unable to survive?"

Guo Pingchuan was obviously very angry, and he started snapping and outputting furiously.

Chen Jimao was actually rendered speechless by him.

Xianping Nanhou was found to be colluding with foreigners three years ago. The emperor who was far away in the capital was furious and immediately sent troops to Huaishang to escort the criminal Huo Lian to Beijing for accountability.

The officials sent at that time didn't know how they negotiated with Huo Lian. Anyway, they couldn't reach an agreement. In the end, the two sides fought, and Huo Lian and his 30,000 subordinates were all killed.

Immediately afterwards, more than 100 members of the Huo family were arrested. The eldest son of the Huo family, who was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the capital, died suddenly and mysteriously in prison on the second night after being imprisoned.

After learning the bad news, the eldest wife of the Huo family chose to hit a wall and die that night. It is said that she was still pregnant with a child at the time.

As for Mrs. Huo, she was already suffering from the pain of losing her husband, and when news came of the death of her eldest son and daughter-in-law, she suddenly fell ill and died within two days.

Only the second and third sons of the Huo family were left, and they were exiled to the frontier half a month later. However, it was said that during the exile, they encountered an assassin. The second son of the Huo family died unfortunately. Only the third son, Huo Zhaoxun, was seriously injured and jumped into the river.

Completely missing.

At the time of the incident, Chen Jimao was stationed at the border in the Northern Desert. He was quite sad to hear the news. The once famous God of War, Huo Lian, ended up in this way.

He didn't know whether Huo Lian had colluded with foreigners, and he didn't dare to ask for fear of accidentally getting himself into trouble.

But he never expected that in less than a year, Huo Lian's missing third son, Huo Zhaoxun, would summon the old prince's former subordinates as Marquis of Pingnan and rebel in Huaishang.

Listening to what his subordinates said now, could it be that there was really something hidden about what happened back then?

"That's enough, stop talking."

It wasn't until he finished speaking that Huo Zhaoxun said something to stop him.

He looked coldly at Chen Jimao below, "You have only two choices now, either surrender to me, or take all of your tens of thousands of subordinates who have followed you for many years to hell."

Facing his dark and cold gaze, Chen Jimao realized that he was not joking.
