Seeing such an ending, everyone in the hall also breathed a sigh of relief, and when they saw Yongyun crying on the ground again, they couldn't help but feel compassion.

Jie Yuan looked at the pale and trembling governor above, and he didn't mean to speak, so he prayed to Yongyun:

"General Yong, you said that the rebels were sent by my Yuanzhou, do you have any evidence?

You and I both know that since the Rong people started the army, there are not a few soldiers who have broken the four passes of Sumeru to surrender to the enemy, why is General Yong sure that it was my Yuanzhou reinforcements? ”

What Jie Yuan asked was also the suspicion of everyone in the hall, after all, the fact that the Yuanzhou reinforcements had become rebels sounded suspicious at first glance.

Everyone's eyes looked at Yong Yunqi.

Yongyunqi raised his head and choked up at Jieyuan: "The main general of the reinforcements is named Yang He, a military captain, this is his seal." ”

After speaking, Yongyunqi took out Yang He's seal letter from his arms and handed it to Jieyuan beside him.

As soon as this move came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

Everyone knows that the reinforcements sent to Xiaoguan this time are Yang He leading the troops, and it seems that this matter is indeed true.

But why Yang He rebelled made them all a little incomprehensible.

During this period of time, the seven passes of Sumeru were lost one after another, all of which were caused by internal responses, so it was not unexpected that Xiao Guan was also lost by the rebels, but when it came to this Yang and rebellion, everyone felt incredible.

If it comes true, then Yang He will be the biggest person in the rank of the rebel Qin officer, and the most terrifying thing is that Yang He is a hereditary nobleman, and in the eyes of everyone, he has no motive to rebel at all.

Sure enough, Jie Yuan has been pondering something since he got the seal letter, and everyone, including Zhao Zhize, turned their eyes to Jie Yuan, only to see Jie Yuan think for a moment and then say to Yong Yunqi:

"Does General Yong know that Captain Yang He is a hereditary lord?"

Yong Yunqi knew that Jie Yuan would ask such a question, so he said to him: "I know that everyone does not believe that hereditary nobles will also rebel against the Rong people, but this is the case.

After General Fang Mingxin and I were killed, I was bent on avenging him, so I fought to the death with Yang He and others, and finally killed him, and this person and more than 4,000 heads of the rebels have been brought to Yuanzhou City, please check it. ”

Bang, everyone saw that the seal letter in Jieyuan's hand fell to the ground, the white-haired old man seemed to be unbelievable, as if sad and as if he had suddenly grown old, moved to the side like a walking corpse, sat down on the ground, and said nothing.

Seeing Jie Yuan like this, there was silence in the hall.

After a moment of silence, several voices suddenly sounded among the people in the hall, Yong Yunqi listened carefully, most of them were praising his military soul and martial arts, and his heart was full of joy.

……

Outside Yuanzhou City, Zhao Zhize and a cadre of officials under the leadership of Yong Yunqi inspected the four thousand heads, in fact, Zhao Zhize only saw Yang He's head and stopped looking at it.

He already believed that Yang He was indeed a rebel, which made him sink to the bottom of his heart, and it seemed that this time, he would really not be able to get up.

Jieyuan didn't go out of the city with the crowd, he seemed to be more than ten years old suddenly, sitting quietly in his own room behind the restaurant in the bar. This old man, who was almost old, had tears in his eyes, and kept groping for Yang He's seal in his hand.

No one knew that since Zhu Lihua went to Yang He's military camp to catch strongmen when he was a child, Jieyuan has been quite fond of Yang He.

He also had the idea of cultivating cronies for Lu Lihua in the army, and this idea naturally fell on Yang He.

In the following years, Jieyuan also intended to promote Yang He, and Yang He was also quite capable, and he continued to make military exploits, and the original two or five hundred lords were promoted to captains.

When Lu Lihua led the troops, Yang He also selected the most elite guards for him according to what Jie Yuan said, and prepared food that exceeded the standard.

If it is said that for Jieyuan, Lihua is like his own descendant, then Yang He is the person he trusts the most, and he will not believe it if he rebels and kills Jieyuan.

Moreover, this time he led the troops to Xiaoguan, and he also asked Yang He to go, Yang He didn't know about this matter before leading the troops, so how could he be rebellious in just a few days after sending the troops.

However, Yang He and the soldiers who went to Xiao Pass together were all dead, and the matter became a headless case, although no investigation was launched, but it was no different from sitting down.

In the hall, Jie Yuan already understood everything, even if he didn't know the details, he could guess the reason, most of which was Yongyun's fear of taking the responsibility of losing the land, and killing the good and risking the merit.

Under Yongyunqi's adequate preparation, he had no evidence or ability to stop it, so Jie Yuan endured it in the hall and returned to the restaurant alone.

He touched the seal letter and muttered in his mouth: "Xiao Li, grow up quickly, I already know your skill in guarding the pass, so I will help you again, maybe this is not conducive to your growth, maybe some seedlings are promoted, but only you can avenge your big brother Yang." ”

Four days later.

At the top of the hall of the Yuanzhou City General Mansion, there is a middle-aged man with a sinking face at this moment, although this person looks quite similar to Zhao Zhize, but it is different from Zhao Zhize's round ears.

The man looked a little thin, with a wisp of green hair hanging down from his chest on his fair face.

He clasped his hands around him, and a pair of eagle eyes on his towering eagle hooked nose looked at the kneeling people below like lightning.

The person sitting in the hall is one of the pillars of the left and right court of the Qin State, and the Qin State of the Qin State who fought against the Rong people this time worshiped the general, and Zhao Zhihai was in the middle.

This time he led the troops to fight against the Rong people, and Zhao Zhihai and his family's most capable fighters were the deputy generals, and the two generals who ruled Qinlan County and 100,000 people arrived in Yuanzhou four days after Yongyunqi returned to Yuanzhou.

As early as on the way to Yuanzhou, Zhao Zhihai got the news that Xiao Pass had been broken, which made him surprised and delighted, and was surprised that Sumeru Zhuguan and Xiao Pass, which had never fallen for more than 500 years, had been captured by the Rong people, which made him feel that this time the battle against the Rong people might not be easy.

The good thing is that because the Xiongguan Pass has been broken, if the fight is successful, then he will undoubtedly set up an immortal battle that has never been seen in the world since Yao Jun, and at that time, not only can he stabilize the Fang family, but perhaps even the Yong family will not be afraid.

At this moment, he had just finished listening to his younger brother Zhao Zhize kneeling on the ground and telling about what he had experienced since the Rong people invaded the customs.

Zhao Zhize also emphasized in his narrative that the loss of customs and land is not a crime of war, but an unprecedented situation, that is, the internal response that has risen one after another.

Zhao Zhihai looked at his younger brother with a handful of snot and tears, still expressionless and unable to see joy and anger, which made Zhao Zhize more and more frightened.

To be honest, if it was Yongluan or Fang Yuanheng who were sitting on the top seat at the moment, maybe he wouldn't be so afraid, but only this brother, who had been extremely strict since he was a child, made him feel like he was on pins and needles.

He knew his brother's temperament, that is, he would never let others know what he was going to do, and the same was true of himself as his own brother.

"Zhao Zhize."

In the silence in the hall, an inaudible voice came from Zhao Zhihai's somewhat thin lips.

The kneeling people in the hall all raised their heads slightly, pricked up their ears and listened carefully to what Zhao Zhihai said.

"In"

Zhao Zhize replied tremblingly and looked up at his brother.

Zhao Zhihai still preached in a voice without joy or sorrow: "Xiao Guan was besieged a month ago, and Jieyuan told you six times to send troops to rescue, why didn't you save it?" ”

Zhao Zhize's face suddenly turned red, he thought that Jieyuan had sued him behind his back, so he subconsciously turned his head to look at Jieyuan.

And Jie Yuan also showed a look of surprise, but then returned to normal.

Seeing that Zhao Zhize did not answer, Zhao Zhihai did not ask, and asked again:

"After Xiao Pass was besieged, Jie Yuan told you three times to quickly transfer the defenders of Longde, Jingyang, Wushi, Chaona, and Dayuan to the various passes to coordinate the garrison, why didn't you listen? Only adopt the next policy of relocating the border guards nearby? ”

Hearing this, not only did Jie Yuan frown slightly, but Zhao Zhize also launched a cold sweat behind him.

Except for Xiao Guan, the other five counties are controlled by local nobles, and in the past few years, just eating empty salaries and deducting military food and materials have made themselves and the local powerful families make a lot of money.

At the beginning of the war, Jieyuan had repeatedly suggested that the troops of the five counties should be sent to assist in the defense of the passes, but Zhao Zhize knew that if he followed Jieyuan's method, when the five counties sent reinforcements, there would be no garrison sergeants in the counties.

Originally, Zhao Zhize and others wanted to fill the gap as soon as possible before the Rong people started the war, but they didn't expect the Rong people to invade the customs in advance, so they were caught off guard and there were no soldiers to send in the counties at all, so how could they listen to Jieyuan's advice.

For Jieyuan, although he knows more or less about the empty salaries in various counties, he doesn't know that things have eroded to such a point.

At the beginning, Zhao Zhize didn't listen to his own advice, he only said that Zhao Zhize was afraid that the Rong people who bypassed Xiaoguan would attack Yuanzhou, so he asked the counties to keep troops to support what he did.

And because he didn't know that Rong Ren had something to do, he didn't continue to insist on it.

Zhao Zhihai saw that Zhao Zhize was still kneeling on the ground without saying a word, and he also sighed in his heart, his younger brother was doted on by his parents since he was a child, and his father asked him to take care of him on his deathbed.

Although the elders are orderly, if it was not because his younger brother was too young when his father died, perhaps this hereditary title would not have fallen on him easily.

But in general, he is also very benevolent to this younger brother, and he has worked hard to let this stubborn younger brother ascend to the status of state secretary step by step, regardless of the obstacles of other forces over the years.

He sighed inwardly, and for the first time said with a hint of regret:

"If you listened to Jieyuan's suggestion, maybe you wouldn't be able to lose these seven levels, but you weren't so confused that you still adopted Jieyuan's strategy, otherwise these seven levels might all be lost, and the six counties of your Yuanzhou will no longer be the Xuanwu banner at the head of the city at this moment."

"Ah Xuan is wrong, Ah Xuan is wrong, beg my eldest brother to spare me once, let me atone for my crimes."

If Zhao Zhize can't hear his brother's words at this moment, then he is no different from an idiot, all he thinks of is the words "I'm finished", and at this time he can only keep kowtowing to his brother, wanting his brother to help him for the sake of blood.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Listening to Zhao Zhihai's questioning, Zhao Zhize hurriedly said: "The mistake is not to listen to Lord Jiezi's advice." ”

Zhao Zhihai shook his head and said, "This time, the monarch worships Zhao as a general, and grants the front line the power of life, death, appointment and dismissal. ”

Speaking of this, he took out the seal letter given to him by the monarch of the Qin State, this seal is the general's commander of the tiger talisman, which was in the hands of Fang Yuanheng for several years before, and this time he worshiped Zhao Zhihai as the general, and then handed it over to Zhao Zhihai for safekeeping.

Zhao Zhihai took out the tiger talisman, just to prove that what he said was true.

This is a false courtesy, and no one will be stupid enough to verify the authenticity.

Seeing that no one answered, Zhao Zhihai put away the tiger talisman again, and shouted coldly:

"Zhao Zhize was in charge of the military affairs of the counties of Yuanzhou, withheld military salaries, falsely reported the soldiers, and was in a stuporous command during the war, resulting in Musashi Pass, Mica Pass, Qixia Pass, and Bitan Pass falling to the enemy successively;

When Xiao Pass was surrounded, he failed to send troops to rescue him in time, resulting in Xiao Pass being broken.

Cause!

On the same day, Zhao Zhihai was dismissed from the post of governor of Yuanzhou, and he was tied to Xijing for detailed investigation.

Jieyuan acted as the secretary of state and handled logistics and grain matters for our army.

Yongyun prayed to lose the city and lose the land, even if it was raided by the rebels, but as the main general, it is difficult to escape the blame, according to the law of Great Qin, he should be the head, but he remembered that before Xiao Pass broke through, he killed the enemy in front of the battle, and killed four thousand rebels after the pass was broken, although the merit could not be reached, but you were exempted from the post of general, demoted to a general, collected the fleeing sergeants of Xiao Pass, and followed me to kill the enemy to serve the country. ”

Subsequently, after Zhao Zhihai gave another order, he ignored Zhao Zhize, who was sitting in the hall, and got up to leave.
