When the soldiers of King Jiangling arrived at Lin'an City, the original team of a thousand people was reduced to less than five hundred people, and many of them were injured on the way.

"General, with so many of us, we can't surround Lin'an City again."

There were only a hundred or so people in the county government office of Lin'an City, but they had all been well-rested and were ready to take advantage of the opportunity. It was easy for them to defeat the remnant of their army of four or five hundred people.

"General, do we still need to go in?"

The ones who spoke were the general's left and right deputy generals. The general didn't say anything for a long time. He died before he could even accomplish his mission. The battle hadn't even started yet. He had only traveled such a short distance, but he had already lost so many people. He hadn't even touched a hair on the enemy's head. What could he say?

"Go on, when have we ever lost a battle without a fight?"

Even if he died, he had to go. How could he report to the prince if he didn't go?

This was the most frustrating battle he had ever fought since joining the army. He wanted to see which bastard dared to play tricks on him like this.

The general had given the order, and the soldiers had no choice but to follow him and continue marching towards Lin'an City.

No one stopped them on this journey, allowing them to reach the gate of Lin'an City smoothly.

Looking at the tightly closed city gate, the general's face was serious. Yang Ge was behaving like this, and he was afraid that he was going to rebel.

"Go ahead and knock on the door."

The soldier who was pointed out rode his horse and walked some distance towards Lin'an City.

He rode on his horse, clenched his hands into a semicircle, placed them to his mouth, and shouted towards the city with all his strength.

"Soldiers on the city wall, we are the subordinates of King Jiangling. We heard that Lin'an City was evacuating the victims. We were ordered by King Jiangling to come to help. Please open the city gates and let us in.

Although they came to besiege Lin'an City, it cannot be said so in a general way. If they said they came to besiege Lin'an City, the soldiers on the Lin'an City Wall must have

They would be stupid and would not open the city gates for them.

It would sound much better if we called it support, and it would give them no reason to refuse.

What the soldier who was shouting didn't know was that it was raining so heavily that the soldiers in the city couldn't hear what he was shouting at all.

He shouted for a long time until his voice became hoarse, but the city gate showed no sign of opening, so he had no choice but to return the same way and report to the general.

The general had already seen it and needed him to report there.

The general was so angry that his nose was smoking. He had originally asked people to knock on the gate in order to trick Yang Ge into opening the city gate and letting them in.

If Yang Ge doesn't open the door, the four or five hundred of them will not be able to attack the city without siege equipment.

He thought about it, ordered the soldiers to retreat five miles and set up camp, and sent someone to report to King Jiangling.

Reporting it now may be embarrassing, but it's better than staying here deadlocked.

It was raining so heavily now that the soil was soaked with rainwater, making it difficult to set up camp. If they couldn't get into Lin'an City, his soldiers would have been wearing wet clothes, and who knew how many of them would have frozen to death.

Especially those brothers who were injured in the front. Their wounds were soaked in rain water. I am afraid that the wounds would become infected. If the high temperature does not subside, they will die soon.

Thinking of this, he cursed in his heart.

He once drank with Yang Ge. While drinking, he only thought that Yang Ge was a man of few words and generous, but he didn't expect that he was so mean and mean.

Yang Ge, who was misunderstood by the generals, was really wronged. At this time, he was sitting in the hall of the Han family, looking at Han Heming.

"Brother Han is really rich. I didn't expect that the Lu family's house would fall into Brother Han's hands."

The Lu family's house was held by County Magistrate Lin and had never been sold. He thought that the house would eventually fall into the hands of County Magistrate Lin.

It is unknown how much money Han Heming spent to get County Magistrate Lin to agree to give up the house.

"Thank you for your compliment, County Magistrate Yang. Come, sit down and talk."

Han Heming smiled indifferently and asked Yang Ge to sit down.

Yang Ge sat down, his expression turned cold, and looked at Han Heming.

"I don't know what Brother Han means by this?"

He was imprisoned by Fang Jin, and when he came out, he found that the sky outside had changed.

Young Master Han brought people and killed Fang Jin.

Yang Ge was not afraid of killing Fang Jin alone, but later, Young Master Yang found him and asked him to send people to intercept and kill King Jiangling's soldiers. This was a different matter.

"Lord Yang, what do you think the King of Jiangling sent Fang Jin to arrest you and put you in jail? Why?"

For what?

Of course it was to drain the floodwaters. Jiangling was lower than Lin'an. The King of Jiangling was afraid that after Lin'an was flooded, Jiangling would be flooded as well. He also didn't want to bear the cost of food and supplies for relocating the people. Needless to say, this?

He disobeyed the order of King Jiangling, and King Jiangling was dissatisfied with his disobedience.

He didn't believe it, and Han Heming couldn't understand it.

"Don't you think Lord Yang can't understand that the prince ordered the flood to be released. Who is he trying to blame for this?"

Of course it was him, he was the county magistrate of Lin'an City.

If he had listened to King Jiangling that day and released the flood without caring about the lives of the people, the downstream of Lin'an City would be a tragic scene, and he would definitely be held accountable by the court.

In order to prevent the surviving people from feeling disheartened, the imperial court had to imprison him and execute him in the autumn.

He thought of it, he had always thought of it, but he just didn't expect that Han Heming also understood this.

He has been dealing with Han Heming for five years and really can't see through him.

Han Heming is usually sincere and generous, and seems to have no scheming. I never thought that he can see so far.

"Brother Han, are you planning to rebel against the imperial court?"

Since we are all smart people, let's not hide anything and just speak frankly.

"County Magistrate Yang is wrong. We are not rebelling against the imperial court. We simply do not want to be oppressed by King Jiangling."

Although the three-year-old emperor of the court is now sitting on the dragon throne, the person who actually controls the court is his teacher Shen Huanjun who wants him dead.

Now Hongyue is facing internal and external troubles. Even if they fight with King Jiangling, the court will not care about King Jiangling. Shen Huanjun is not King Jiangling's brother. King Jiangling's brother is already dead.

"Brother Han is trying to fish in troubled waters, and finally..."

Yang Ge hadn't finished speaking, but his meaning was very clear. He was asking Han Heming if he had any ideas about the supreme position.

Han Heming smiled.

"County Magistrate Yang, you're joking. I just want to stay alive."

Yang Ge looked at Han Heming for a long time. He didn't believe what Han Heming said.

However, their Yang family has never cared who becomes the emperor, so he doesn't care whether what Han Heming said is true or false.

Prince Jiangling is ill.

He was already an old man in his seventies. After his brother became emperor, he became a prince. For decades, he had been living a smooth and leisurely life as a prince.

In Jiangling, no one dared to resist him.

Not only did Yang Ge resist him time and again, but his own thousand soldiers were unable to defeat Yang Ge's hundred-plus men. How could he not be angry?
