Your fiefdom gains one soldier every second, what should you do, Queen Mother?

"Who sent you to kill me? Who is behind you?" Wang Yuan glared at the bandits and shouted.

He could already guess roughly from what the bandits had just said that these bandits were terribly afraid of him and were all extremely selfish.

Now this group of people gathered together and attacked his city lord's mansion, not for money or food, but just for him.

Is it possible that there is no one behind them?

"You are talking so much even when you are about to die. You have been doing evil and oppressing the people. Just for this reason, everyone here wants to kill you!"

"That's right! Ever since you came to Xiliang, our lives have been getting worse and worse, and there are more and more bandits!"

"How many of us were forced to go up the mountain and become bandits because of you? How much benefit did the four major mountain strongholds in Yingchuan give you?"

"No matter what, today we will kill you and offer sacrifice to the gods to avenge the deaths of our fellow villagers!"

The bandit leaders rushed forward, and Wang Yuan saw that he could not bribe them with money, so he had to draw his sword and fight to the death.

"A bunch of barbarians, you dare to kill me? Even if you really kill me, so what? Wait until my army comes and surrounds Longxi City, and none of you will be able to escape!"

Wang Yuan laughed hysterically: "With you buried with me, it seems that my death is not a loss!"

However, these bandits were not afraid, instead they showed expressions of gloating on their faces.

"Your army? Haha, your army won't come."

Suddenly a voice came from behind. Wang Yuan turned around abruptly and saw Zhang Fei holding the Zhangba Snake Spear in one hand and a head in the other.

Wang Yuan recognized the head; it was the general under his command!

He was so scared that he knelt on the ground again. At this moment he understood everything. The person behind these bandits... was none other than the Marquis of Zhenxi!

Zhang Fei threw the general's head aside, then he walked forward and placed the Zhangba Snake Spear on Wang Yuan's shoulder.

"City Lord Wang, I wonder if you have heard that the Marquis of Zhenxi annihilated 60,000 Hu people in the Bemeng grassland." Zhang Fei asked with narrowed eyes.

Wang Yuan was trembling. He glanced at the Zhangba Snake Spear on his shoulder and sweat was pouring down his forehead.

"I heard... I'd like to congratulate the Marquis..." Wang Yuan said with a forced smile.

"But I also heard that the Northern Hu people sent 10,000 people to capture Gaoliu City, and these 10,000 people were all annihilated by me not long ago."

"I learned from the Hu people that these 10,000 Hu people came for the Ying family. I am very curious about who wants the Hu people to destroy the Ying family..."

Zhang Fei took the Zhangba Snake Spear away from Wang Yuan's shoulder, and the latter breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the Hu people did not tell anyone that he and Lord Cao had been to the grassland. As long as he can persuade Ying Xuanze to stay, his life can be saved.

Wang Yuan wiped the sweat off his forehead. As he stood up from the ground, he said with a smile, "General, I don't know why the Hu people want to attack Gaoliu City."

"Fortunately, you are here to guard the place! When the Marquis comes back, he will definitely reward you handsomely!"

"As for how the Hu people bypassed the border and entered Xiliang, I will definitely cooperate with you to investigate!"

"General, please ask these bandits to let me go first. There may be some misunderstanding here!"

"As for the money and food, I will give them all to the people of Xiliang! I will do whatever the general says."

The bandits were furious. One of the bandit leaders said to Zhang Fei, "General! Don't be fooled by this guy!"

"That's right! If we don't get rid of this thief, we will never be able to relieve the hatred in our hearts!"

"You bunch of bandits, do you have the right to speak here?"

However, as soon as Wang Yuan finished speaking, Zhang Fei once again placed the Zhangba Snake Spear on his shoulder.

Wang Yuan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again: "General! Calm down! Calm down!"

"Wang Yuan, I only ask you one question. If you can answer it, I will spare your life this time."

Wang Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said, "General, please tell me! If I know the truth, I will report it to you!"

Zhang Fei raised his lips slightly, and he thrust his Zhangba Snake Spear into the mud beside him. Then he squatted down and looked at Wang Yuan with a smirk on his face:

"Who did you go to the grassland tribe with that day?"

Wang Yuan's pupils suddenly trembled, and at that moment, his heart seemed to stop beating.

Zhang Fei patted Wang Yuan's face twice, who had a dazed look on his face, then grabbed Wang Yuan and glared at him coldly.

"Don't think I don't know. My eldest brother doesn't know. Someone among the captured Hu people told him."

"You and another Han Chinese went to the grassland tribe and asked the Chanyu to send troops to invade Jiarong Pass and invite my brother to lead the troops to resist."

"Once Big Brother leads the army to leave Gaoliu City, you will send a troop from somewhere else to enter Xiliang and head straight for Gaoliu City!"

"In this way, even if the Northern Hu people cannot gain any advantage at Jiarong Pass, as long as all the Ying family members in Gaoliu City are killed, once this news reaches Big Brother, his morale will surely collapse."

"When two armies are at war, the most taboo thing is for one side to lose morale. Then, my brother will most likely be defeated by the Hu people because of this, and eventually be killed."

Every word Zhang Fei said made Wang Yuan's heart twitch violently. In the end, his eyes were empty and his face was full of despair.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have provoked the Marquis of Zhenxi in the first place, he regretted it!!!

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention that person. Sooner or later, my eldest brother will lead us to the capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei picked up Wang Yuan and threw him hard towards the upright Zhangba Snake Spear.

"Pfft!"

The Zhangba Snake Spear pierced Wang Yuan's body, and a large amount of blood dripped onto the ground, quickly forming a pool of blood.

"Cut off his head and hang it on the city wall. This evil thief must be made an example of to the public!"

The bandits shouted excitedly, "It's the general!"

......

Three days later, outside Xiliang.

Huang Yan and Cao Mengyi led an army of 100,000 to the outside of Hanxi Pass. When the general guarding the pass saw that it was Huang Long's son in person, he hurriedly opened the door to welcome him.

"General, are you going to enter Xiliang and head north to Jiarong Pass to meet with Lord Zhenxi Hou?" The general guarding the pass asked as he escorted Huang Yan into the pass.

"Are you here to play?" Huang Yan glanced at the general guarding the pass.

"But I have to go to Longxi City first. Our army doesn't have much food to bring north this time, so we need Wang Yuan to provide food."

The guarding general's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon smiled and said, "I see. I hope the general has a smooth journey and returns triumphantly!"

Huang Yan raised his nose with a smug look on his face: "Of course, you don't even care who I am? Let's go! The whole army advances at full speed, and we will arrive at Longxi City early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded in unison.

The general guarding the pass watched Huang Yan and his 100,000 Yinglong troops leave Hanxi Pass. He sighed only after they had completely left the pass.

"Alas, after Wang Yuan handed over the grain, he wanted to forcibly collect grain from the people again. How could these high-ranking figures understand the suffering of the people at the bottom..."
