Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

On the steps, the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty stood there pacing up and down. Yang Ye knelt down on the ground and said, "Your minister loses his teacher and humiliates the country, he deserves ten thousand deaths!"

His face was almost touching the ground, and the broken brick in front of him happened to be where Sheng Shi stood before the expedition, and it was still the same, with a crooked crack in the brick. He buried his head so low, he was indeed ashamed, the last thing a military commander wanted was defeat.

But apart from this feeling, Yang Ye's mind felt a little empty, and he didn't feel scared. Because based on his understanding of Liu Jun and the course of the battle, he felt that although he was defeated and guilty, he would not be convicted of a felony.

Sure enough, after reading the memorial, Liu Jun turned his head and asked Feng Jinke, who was kneeling beside him, "Why did you lose so quickly?"

Feng Jinke replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Zhou army fought bravely, their morale was high, and they were reckless... The criminals really did their best."

Liu Jun sighed in public, and said: "Turn up the management of Jinyang City's defenses, so we have to defend the city. Then send people to Shangjing to urge the Liao Kingdom to send reinforcements."

With the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty, there is really no other way for the current plan except to ask for help from the Liao Kingdom. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. This is also the reason why almost none of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty had a good impression of the Liao people, and they still formed an alliance with Khitan and claimed to be self-proclaimed.

... As expected, Yang Ye was not punished, and was still given important tasks, as the most important South City deployment. But he had no energy that day and went straight home. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and suddenly became depressed.

The great battle of the Baigu Regiment shocked the Northern Han Dynasty. It was a matter of countless people's lives, and Jinyang had already spread it. The Yang family members already knew that when people saw Yang Ye's uneasy expression when he came back, they were all cautious, for fear that they would run into him when he was in a bad mood.

Yang Ye was sitting in a hall, and the surroundings were quiet. At least tonight, he could finally put it down for the time being... But his heart could not be peaceful, and there was no one around him, but it seemed that there was still a battlefield full of gold and iron horses in front of him, and those shouts and shouts seemed to be still echoing in his ears.

That distant and fanatical sound of long live still makes Yang Ye's heart tremble. The bravery and insanity of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army made him linger. Can this battle really be fought?

"Crack!" Yang Ye slapped the armrest of the chair, stood up abruptly, and walked back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back. The messy footsteps are like his depressed and wandering heart.

At this moment, a cloth robe in his fifties came to the door, bent down and said: "Mr. Lord, this old slave has received this, please look at it."

Yang Ye took it without any hassle. It was an envelope with no words on it. He tore open his mouth and took out a piece of paper. He was stunned when he saw the handwriting, and his depressed mood suddenly became energetic, which was a kind of stimulated emotion. The handwriting is that of his younger brother Yang Chongxun! He browsed through the content again, roughly urging him to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and take the opportunity to surrender to Da Zhou.

Yang Ye hurriedly folded the letter paper to cover up the content on it. He thought it was a bit strange... After thinking about it for a while, the first thing that was strange was why his younger brother would suddenly write such a letter. Yang Chongxun would not write letters easily, especially after Yang Chongxun was recruited by the Zhou Dynasty and led Linzhou to surrender under the banner of Dazhou;

Most of this letter was written by Yang Chongxun according to the intention of Zhou Guo's court! Yang Ye was slightly surprised, because although he had a great reputation in the Northern Han Dynasty, he really didn't expect that even Tokyo would go to great lengths to win him over.

At this moment, the old slave suddenly took the initiative to speak: "There are a few words, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Yang Ye said kindly: "You are the one who came with me from Linzhou, what should you say?"

Only then did the old slave say: "I have never seen the person who sent the letter... The Linzhou Yang Mansion must have accepted other people over the years, which is not surprising. The strange thing is that this person can find me as soon as he comes; and I don't even know him. How can he recognize me? He also knows that I am someone you can trust... That's why he dared to hand this seemingly secret letter into my hands."

The old man paused, and then said: "I think back, the driver was the groom who just entered Yang's mansion two months ago... That man is the guarantor of Hongying, the concubine of Lord Lang."

"Who is the messenger?" Yang Ye asked.

The old man said: "At the entrance of an alley, there was no one around the old slave, so he left without keeping him."

"I see." Yang Ye waved his sleeves.

The old man bowed down and left the door silently.

Yang Ye thought about the old slave's words carefully, and recalled that Hongying teased the Northern Han Dynasty several times before and made an alliance with Khitan in spite of righteousness. He didn't pay attention to it before, but with this incident...it really made him feel a little suspicious.

Immediately couldn't help but went straight to Hong Ying's room.

Hongying was happy and wiped her tears again, she was still as docile and pleasant as before. Women are mothers-in-law and mothers, with too many emotions, but Yang Ye is not disgusted, but feels that he does not have so many emotions.

Yang Ye asked calmly, "Hongying, what do you think of me treating you?"

Hongying hurriedly said with a moved face: "Your Majesty's kindness to my concubine is as great as a mountain, and he loves me very much."

Yang Ye nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked seriously: "Is that groom really your cousin?"

Hong Ying's eyes swept over Yang Ye's face, she pursed her lips and said, "Why did you suddenly ask this question, Mr. Lang?"

Yang Ye said: "Today I suddenly heard from him that he stayed in Tokyo... Didn't you live in Yangzhou before?"

"It's not that my cousin stays with me all the time. I heard that he did stay in Tokyo for a while, but I don't know too much... After entering Shen's house, I seldom interact with relatives, and I seldom meet my cousin." A trace of panic flashed across Hongying's face.

Yang Ye felt a little sad when he heard this. This woman is indeed a concubine like a slave, it's nothing, but he has been with her day and night in the past few months, and he treats her with sincerity... Only today did I realize that this bitch is full of lies!

Yang Ye felt that his sympathy was being used at the beginning, and this feeling made him suddenly very angry! It is already speculated that Hongying may be a spy sent by Tokyo. As long as she and her so-called cousin are taken down and interrogated separately, their origins will be confirmed.

But Yang Ye endured this anger and curiosity about the truth.

At the beginning, he himself didn't understand why he would be polite to a person who lied to him, but gradually he finally understood his inner intuition...Because the strength of Da Zhou's army had left a deep impression on him, he had vaguely judged the outcome of this war.

The possibility of the Northern Han Dynasty's defeat is too great, and Yang Ye subconsciously wants to leave a way out for himself. He is also a Han son himself, and has no sense of resistance to the Central Plains Dynasty; he is still working for the Northern Han Dynasty, but he is concerned about the kindness of the former emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and his reputation for personal loyalty...but there is no need to die for it.
