It's another early morning, and a new ray of sunshine shines on the top of Hanzhou City.

The shouts of killing throughout the city completely stopped, and the Yan army's massacre of young and old gradually subsided under Yan Zhang's strong opposition, but the dead could no longer open their eyes.

The entire Hanzhou City was like a hell on earth, a mess and rivers of blood.

The autumn wind blew by, and the strong smell of blood instantly drifted in all directions along the breeze, which was nauseating.

The fire that had been burning for two days was almost extinguished, but there were still several huge black smoke pillars rising, which was shocking.

A military flag embroidered with an eagle was finally hung on the top of Hanzhou City, and the Yan army all over the city fell into wild cheers.

Whether it was the Yan army from the Yanrong Grassland or the dead people of Beijin, they all felt their blood swell at this moment.

What they captured was Hanzhou City, a fortified city that had blocked the prairie soldiers for many years.

Next, they can enter the Central Plains along the Pinghan Road, Tianning Road, Jiaodong Road, and the vast plains.

In their eyes, a new era is coming.

The first batch of Yan troops to invade the city had actually received the rewards they deserved, making the others jealous.

As the initiators of this border attack, Zhou Weiran, Yan Zhang and a group of others were standing on a slope outside the city, looking down calmly.

Under the soil slope were deafening roars, cries, wailings, and begging for mercy.

This was a place of execution. Groups of people were escorted in by the vicious Yan army and ended their lives with a single blow.

If you look closely, these people are almost all old, weak, women and children. They all come from the Jiangmen family in Hanzhou City, including members of the Chang family who have stood firm for a hundred years.

The reason why they are all old and weak is because almost all the adult men have died in battle.

These general families on Pinghan Road are quite bloody. Although the city was destroyed and they were surrounded by enemies, very few of them surrendered without a fight, and almost all of them took up arms to resist.

This is a spirit that has been passed down for hundreds of years.

"Ah~ah!"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

The sound of crying and weeping echoed over the execution ground, and the dead bodies were constantly carried out and thrown into the pit for burial.

These people, who lived a life of fine clothing and fine food just a few days ago, have become prisoners in the blink of an eye and are at the mercy of others.

Yan Zhang looked at all this with extremely complicated feelings in his heart.

He knew many people here, and he could even hear an old woman yelling his name.

But from the moment he cut off Chang Jingan's head with his own hands, he knew that he could never go back to the Yan family before. He could only kill his enemies to death!

Compassion does not command troops!

In fact, this time Yan Zhang and Zhou Weiran joined forces, many close confidants within the family strongly opposed it, and even these people were silenced by Yan Zhang one by one.

Even if you kill your own family members, let alone others?

Yan Zhang seemed to have had enough of the wailing and crying, and turned his head impatiently.

Nalan Tingye on one side chuckled and said: "General Yan, starting from today, this Hanzhou City and even the entire Pinghan Road will have the surname Yan. I am very happy and congratulated~"

Yan Zhang turned his head slightly and said calmly: "My Yan family wants more than just a Pinghan Dao."

Yan Zhang really hates Prime Minister Nalan. He is full of literary talent and conspiracy. He is obviously smiling, but he can't feel the slightest warmth.

"Haha, the general is ambitious, that's good!"

Nalanting Ye laughed brightly: "General, don't worry, after conquering the entire Central Plains, the general will get what the Yan family deserves.

Prairie man, a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold!”

"It's too early to say these things." Yan Zhang turned to look to the distant southeast and murmured:

"Don't forget, although we have captured Pinghan Road, the real main force of hundreds of thousands on Pinghan Road is still there.

Not all of the Chang family was wiped out, there were still people like Chang Hantang, Chang Jingzhe, and Chang Huaiyi.

Do you really think the Chang family is so easy to deal with?"

"Brother Yan is right. Now we should see what the next step is."

Zhou Weiran smiled slightly, waved his hand, and several soldiers brought over a map.

In their plan, attacking Pinghan Road is indeed just the first step. They have a bigger plan.

Several people gathered around the map, and the first person to speak was naturally Wanyan Bi, the military marshal of the East Courtyard. Wanyan Bi pointed at the map:

"According to military reports, the battle on the front line in Jizhou is progressing at a rapid pace. The defenders along the route have almost no effective resistance. The yellow-backed silver falcon flag will take Zhenbeiguan in a few days.

After passing Zhenbeiguan and heading west, you will find Chifeng City in Liaodong."

"Cool place~"

Zhou Weiran murmured: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Zhou Weiran's eyes flashed with extreme murderous intent. Everything he has done over the years has been for revenge.

Liang Jun’s revenge for killing his father!

Yan Zhang said calmly: "To the west is Liaodong, and to the south is Tianning Road. Who should we fight first?"

Nalan Tingye smiled and said, "Why can't we both do it together?"

Yan Zhang's brows furrowed: "Do you want to rely on your current military strength to deal with the Liaodong and Changjia border troops at the same time?

Don’t you look down on the combat power of the frontier troops a little too much?”

Zhou Weiran chuckled and took a step forward:

"We have the main cavalry of the two banners and tens of thousands of elite soldiers. Plus the soldiers and horses in Brother Yan's hands, we can fight hundreds of thousands of soldiers, which is enough.

Moreover, all the main forces of the Liang army were gathered on the front line of Luoyun City. Tanzhou would probably not have many garrison troops and would be empty of troops.

The Chang family’s attention is also on the Yuwen family, so they won’t care about the rear, right?”

Wanyanbi took over the conversation and said:

"Until now, we have had the advantage of time difference, and most of the garrison on Pinghan Road were defeated by us by surprise.

But the news will spread in a few days, so we must be quick and strike first before Liang Jun and the Chang family react!"

Zhou Weiran raised his eyebrows:

"Then let's split up into two groups?"

Nalan Tingye smiled and said: "Leave the Chang family's side to me. The Liang army is difficult to deal with. The king and Marshal Wanyan have to sit on the front line of Beiguan together.

I can't guarantee that the Chang family will be completely defeated, but I can still be sure of stopping them from entering Pinghan Road."

Even though Nalan Tingye is a scholar, his tone of voice is very confident.

"Okay, that's enough." Zhou Weiran looked at Yan Zhang and asked:

"Where should Brother Yan go? Tianning Road or Zhenbeiguan?"

Yan Zhang's eyes kept rolling around on the map, and he hesitated for a long time before saying:

“Let’s Zhenbeiguan~”

In fact, everyone can see that Yan Zhang is not willing to confront the Chang family.

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Zhou Weiran didn't say anything, he just said: "Brother Yan will allocate part of his troops to fight with Prime Minister Nalan. After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle."

Yan Zhang nodded and agreed happily.

Zhou Weiran's brows flashed with murderous intent, and he said with concentration:
Chapter completed!
