Chang Hantang then looked at Chang Yao, took a deep breath and said:

"Come on, tell me."

Chang Yao wiped the tears from his eyes and said with a trembling voice:

"General, General. Yan Zhang of the Yan family colluded with the Yan people, betrayed my Chang family, and secretly opened the Yanxingguan city gate to let the Yan army enter!

At some point, the main force of the Yan army gathered outside Pinghan Pass. One hundred thousand troops marched long distance from Yanxing Pass to attack Hanzhou City. The defenders of Hanzhou City fought to the death for a day and night. They suffered heavy casualties and were outnumbered. Hanzhou City was lost.

I hope the general will quickly lead his troops back to rescue and save the crisis on Pinghan Road!"

"What! How is that possible!"

Chang Jingzhe looked shocked: "Yan family? Yan Zhang? How could they betray!"

"How is that possible!" Chang Huaiyi also exclaimed.

Chang Yao's words were like thunder on the ground, causing the expressions of the three people to change drastically at the same time.

"How dare you lie about such a big thing?" Chang Yao gritted his teeth and said:

"The last general saw with his own eyes that the Yan family's troops and the Yan army joined forces to massacre our soldiers. The cruelty of the attack and the cruelty of the methods were shocking!"

Drops of tears kept rolling down from the corners of Chang Yao's eyes.

He barely slept a wink for the past few days, except when he was rushing. The tragic battle in Hanzhou City and the scene of the Yan army massacring the people were always reverberating in his mind.

He dared not sleep and could not sleep.

Chang Yao, who was covered in wounds all the way to escape, did not frown at all, but at this moment he finally couldn't help it anymore, he was so grief-stricken that he cried loudly.

Chang Yao's cries made the three of them completely despair. It seemed that Yan Jun's entry was confirmed, and the situation must be much more tragic than what Chang Yao said.

What a big deal!

"The Yan family, the Yan family~"

Chang Hantang's old face was trembling and he said in a hoarse voice:

"How could it be the Yan family~"

The old man's heart is bleeding. The Chang family and the Yan family are family friends. Over the years, the Yan family has gained power, wealth, status, and glory. The Chang family has given them everything they can.

Chang Hantang didn't understand why Yan Zhang, who had always been loyal, suddenly betrayed him.

Even if Yan Zhang turned to the Yuwen family, he could understand why he chose to join the Yan people?

After a long silence, the old man asked tremblingly:

"Where's Jing'an? How's it going?"

Chang Jingzhe and Chang Huaiyi also looked at Chang Yao anxiously, waiting for his answer.

What made them despair was that Chang Yao did not answer, but just knocked his head to the ground:

"The general is incompetent! Death penalty!"

"capital offense!"

Such a gesture made the three people's faces turn pale at the same time.

After a moment of confusion, Chang Huaiyi strode forward, grabbed Chang Yao's collar and shouted:

"Tell me! How is my father?"

There were more and more tears in Chang Yao's eyes, and he replied tremblingly:

"Hanzhou City was captured and our army was outnumbered. General Chang urged General Chang to break out, but General Chang insisted on not leaving and strictly ordered his subordinates to break out of the siege and come to report the military situation.

After the last general fought a bloody battle and fought his way out of the city, he heard from the defeated army that General Chang, General Chang...

General Chang died in battle, and his head was hung at the city gate by the Yan army."

"Woooooo~"

At the end of the story, Chang Yao wailed loudly and burst into tears. He still looked like an iron-blooded soldier.

"thump!"

Chang Huaiyi staggered, fell to the ground, and murmured with a blank look:

"How is it possible, how is it possible~"

Chang's eldest grandson, who grew up in a century-old family, seemed to have been drained of energy, and there was no trace of blood on his face.

He died on the battlefield and hung his head at the city gate.

Chang Huaiyi couldn't accept this answer, and his mind went blank.

Chang Hantang's chest began to rise and fall violently, and his palms resting on the back of the chair kept trembling. His vision went dark and he almost fainted.

This is the eldest son that he is proud of and has devoted all his efforts to cultivate.

"Father, are you okay?" Chang Jingzhe noticed his father's strange behavior and helped the old man.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm okay."

Chang Hantang's body looked very rickety at this moment, and even his energy and spirit had disappeared a lot.

Chang Yao forcibly stopped crying:

"Old Master, before we say farewell, General Chang has something to say and asked the last general to bring it to you."

"Tell me~"

The old man's tone sounded very weak.

Chang Yao said solemnly:

"General Chang said:

I hope your father will forgive Jing'an for being unfilial.

Jing'an leads Pinghan Dao Jiedushi, the head of the Chang family, and protects the country's borders. He should live and die with the soldiers and people of Hanzhou.

The safety of the people in Pinghan Road is all tied to my father. One day the army will regain their homeland, and I can rest in peace under the nine springs in Jing'an.

Dear Jing'an, I wish you a hundred thanks!"

The old man's whole body was relieved, and he leaned softly on the back of the chair. There seemed to be tears shining in the corners of his eyes, but he was holding back the tears from flowing out.

Chang Hantang spent most of his life on the battlefield, when did he shed tears?

But there is nothing more miserable than a white-haired person giving a black-haired person a gift.

There was a dead silence in the house, as if the sky had fallen.

"Big brother~big brother~"

Chang Jingzhe looked miserable and was speechless.

Chang Huaiyi, who had been absent for a long time, suddenly struggled to get up from the ground and roared with grief and anger:

"Go back, I want to go back! I want to kill the Yan family and Yan Thief and avenge my father!"

"ah!"

"revenge!"

Chang Huaiyi fell into madness.

"Huaiyi, don't be impulsive!"

Chang Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, then suddenly hugged Chang Huaiyi and refused to let him leave.

Chang Huaiyi roared at the top of his lungs:

"Let me go and take revenge! I want to avenge my father!"

"Father~"

Chang Huaiyi burst into tears. When the army went south, his father personally gave him strength and told him to protect his grandfather and not to forget that he was the upright and good man of the Chang family.

He was so high-spirited at that time, but he didn't expect that it would be the last time he saw his father.

"Revenge! I want revenge!"

"ah!"

Two lines of tears kept rolling down the corners of Chang Huaiyi's eyes. If Chang Jingzhe hadn't held him tightly, he would have rushed out by now.

"Just be quiet!"

Chang Hantang, who was filled with grief and anger, shouted angrily:

"As a general, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face will not change.

Look at what you look like! Shut up!"

The old man rarely cursed, and this time he was scolding his favorite eldest grandson.

Chang Huaiyi's crying stopped immediately. He bit his lip and said nothing, his eyes were red. He seemed very unconvinced, but he did not dare to violate his grandfather's authority.

Chang Yao, who was pale, lay paralyzed on the ground, watching all this helplessly.

He only has one thought now, to lead the army to fight back and avenge the soldiers and people!

"Chang Yao!"

The old man turned to look at him and asked, "How are the Chang family members doing?"

Chang Yao shook his head with difficulty: "My subordinates don't know that the fierce battle broke out so suddenly that there was no time to look after the clan members.

But I’m just afraid…”

Chang Yao's voice became smaller and smaller. The Yan people even killed Chang Jingan. How could they let those Chang family members go?
