Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Xie Anning was already scared out of her wits at this point.

Ye Chen stabbed a few more times.

“Ahhhh!”

"Say or not?"

Xie Anning was sweating all over.

Everyone present was shocked.

"Sir, please, spare him."

Li Zheng knelt down with a thud and said.

Ye Chen looked at him coldly: "Forgive him? The people of an entire county died because of him. How can you let those innocent souls rest in peace? Ask these people if they agree or not?"

Li Zheng was choked and speechless.

At this point, Xie An Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "It was my uncle, it was my uncle who asked me to do it. He said that with Lord Yang Dechang's support, nothing would happen."

When Li Zheng heard this, he collapsed to the ground.

A cold smile appeared on Ye Chen's lips: "It's you."

He walked slowly towards Li Zheng, and every step seemed to be stepping on Li Zheng's heart.

"As a county magistrate, you should be protecting the people. Instead, you colluded with traitors and murdered people. Do you know your crime?"

Hearing this, Li Zheng's lips trembled, but he gritted his teeth and pointed at Ye Chen and said, "Lord Yang will come, he will be here soon, the Great Chanyu will be here soon, you, you dare to attack me, you are dead!"

Ye Chen's face was as cold as ice, his eyes revealing endless majesty and anger. He chopped down with a knife, directly cutting off one of Li Zheng's hands.

Li Zheng immediately rolled over in pain and screamed.

Then, Ye Chen stepped forward, took a step forward, and stepped on Li Zheng's other hand.

At this moment, his feet were like an unshakable mountain, stepping hard on Li Zheng's hand, and every finger made a heart-pounding breaking sound under his feet.

Han Wu, the prefect of Longxi County who was escorted over, was already frightened to the point of paleness, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were filled with terror.

Ye Chen turned around and said to Shen Qiu beside him, "Chop off the head of this dog official and spread it to all the counties. Let everyone see that this is the fate of those who collude with the Tatars and harm the people. If there is a similar incident again, kill without mercy."

Cheng'en responded respectfully, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Zheng was dragged down immediately, and with a scream, Li Zheng's head fell to the ground.

Ye Chen's eyes swept over the crowd, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

"Han Wu, you don't know how to judge people. You are no longer fit to be the governor."

Ye Chen's voice broke the silence.

Han Wu didn't dare to argue, he just kept wiping his sweat.

Only now did he realize that Ye Chen really dared to kill people.

Faced with the shining butcher knife, Han Wu didn't dare to move at all.

Outside the Great Wall, the wind was howling.

Thirty thousand Tatar troops were stationed here like a dark cloud.

Inside the tent, Agula was looking at the map in front of him with a frown on his face. It was a parchment scroll depicting the surrounding terrain, with mountains, rivers, towns and villages marked on it.

Yang Dechang stood aside, a sinister glint in his eyes. He bowed slightly and pointed to a spot on the map. "Your Highness," he said, "this is an excellent place to advance. Many of my men are in Longxi County, and the roads in these three areas are difficult. The local generals certainly wouldn't expect us to launch a surprise attack from here."

Agula nodded slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of eagerness. After all, the previous defeat had caused him to be questioned in the tribe, and he urgently needed a victory to prove himself.

"Are you sure? There can't be any mistakes this time."

Agula looked at Yang Dechang, with a hint of majesty in his voice.

The corners of Yang Dechang's mouth rose slightly.

"Your Highness, rest assured. I have received accurate information that the imperial envoy is near Longxi County. If we can capture him in one fell swoop, we will surely severely damage the emperor's morale."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Agula's eyes.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

"Your Highness, we can split our forces into three groups. One group will launch a feint attack to attract the attention of the local garrison, while the other two groups will attack from both sides. We will surely succeed."

Yang Dechang said again.

Agula thought for a moment.

"This is a very good plan. Let's do as you say."

Immediately, 30,000 cavalrymen left the camp, ready to go.
