The incident came too suddenly, not only the emperor Liu Yan, but also Xue Boren and Su Chengdong, the deputy capital of Liaodong, were caught off guard.

It was indeed quite difficult to escort the king of Goryeo and all the members of the royal family, concubines and others back to Chang'an. Especially on this section of the road in Goryeo, no one dared to guarantee that no one would try to rescue the king of Goryeo, so he was careful to defend him, for fear that something would go wrong. But no one expected that the problem was within the Liaodong Army, that is, Wang Hanxin, who had caused trouble countless times.

If you want to talk about anyone in the Liaodong army who hates Goryeo to the core, then it is naturally Wang Hanxin. He was the only survivor of the slaughter of his village by the Goryeo army, and since then he has embarked on a completely different path to become a soldier. With a bitter hatred for Goryeo, he quickly grew into a warrior who could fight in battle, and six years later the young man had become a military commander and attacked the city of Pyongyang. However, just when he was about to complete his long-cherished wish to conquer Pyongyang and kill the king of Goryeo with his own hands, the prime minister of Goryeo, Ah Eulji, actually launched a mutiny and surrendered to the king. Although the Liaodong Army later killed the rebellious Ayizhi and tens of thousands of rebels loyal to him under Su Chengdong's design, and the Goryeo Kingdom was essentially destroyed, everyone ignored one point, that is, Wang Hanxin's goal was not actually achieved, and Wang Hanxin's attachment to Goryeo was beyond everyone's imagination.

During these six years, more than 1,000 Goryeo troops died in the hands of Wang Han's novices, and the Tiger Guard Battalion led by him caused countless casualties to the Goryeo army. In order to bring down the power of Goryeo, he made countless Koreans crippled without thumbs, and caused more Koreans to starve. If these are the necessary means of war. Then he once burned down Goryeo villages and beheaded civilians. The massacre of the peasant army without the ability to resist was punished many times, and he himself had no regrets about it. I am still fulfilling the mission I have set for myself.

However, this mission came to an abrupt end because of Ah Yizhi's rebellion, and only he knows how much impact this incident had on Wang Hanxin's heart. Even his brother-in-law Gao Dingbian felt that his great revenge had been avenged and persuaded him to let go of this obsession in his heart, but Wang Hanxin just buried this deep resentment in his heart deeper.

In order to carry out his revenge plan, he secretly contacted a group of dead soldiers. Without exception, these people were veterans who had lost their loved ones by the Goryeo army and later joined the Tiger Guard Battalion. At the beginning, there were hundreds of these people in the Tiger Guard Battalion, but after years of combat attrition, there were less than fifty people. But these remnants of the battle are all strong people, and the resentment in their hearts towards Goryeo can be said to be not under Wang Hanxin. In addition, Wang Hanxin is the chief they admire. All of them became his best friends and participated in his revenge plan.

With the support of these dozens of people, Wang Hanxin immediately implemented his plan. He used the high-speed maneuver of the war horse to catch up with the slow Cui Wende and his party overnight, and sent a false order to transfer the guarding troops, and then set fire to the post house where Cui Wende was resting. The soaring flames and billowing smoke killed a large number of members of the Goryeo royal family, and those who struggled to escape from the post house were also hacked to death by Wang Hanxin's arrangement, and Choi Wende was waved into two pieces by Wang Hanxin's own hands, and then these bodies were also thrown into the fire and burned into a pile of charcoal.

The incident was so great that the guards who were all involved in the firefighting that night and almost all of them witnessed the process. In the end, because he was afraid that things would take a big turn, he prevented the surrounding people from rushing to put out the fire, so that the subsequent rumors flew all over the sky. Su Chengdong, who received the report, only felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fainted.

Wang Hanxin's disaster this time is too big, and he doesn't want to make up for him to get through the trick. If it is to kill the Goryeo royal family during the capture of Pyongyang City, it is still necessary to say. At best, it's a little too vicious. But now it is different, the king of Goryeo has surrendered to the country of silk, and as a prisoner, he still enjoys the treatment of the royal family of silk. And Wang Hanxin actually killed such a noble captive, and even his family did not let go. This undoubtedly put the entire country of silk. Even Emperor Liu Yan was in the position of treachery. From now on, the people of Goryeo will never trust any promises of the Silk Country, so how can they maintain their rule in the area they occupy now? Those regions that are not ruled must also regard the Silk Country as an enemy of the Heavens. In this way, I am afraid that the war will not be able to stop at all, and the continuation of the continuous war will inevitably drag down the pace of the war between the Silk Country and the Tuqi, and the chain reaction of each case is all because of Wang Hanxin's personal grudges. Such a big responsibility, let alone Su Chengdong, even if Chang Miao is alive, he can't cover it. So how does this matter end?

Just when Su Chengdong was in a hurry, Gao Dingbian came to see him. He has only one purpose, that is, to intercede for his brother Wang Hanxin. Because the disaster this time was too great, Gao Dingbian, who knew the stakes at all, did not say anything at all, and directly expressed his willingness to use all his meritorious official positions in exchange, and would rather be demoted to become a soldier, just hoping that Su Chengdong could be lightly dismissed Wang Hanxin.

For Gao Dingbian's requirements, Su Chengdong only smiled bitterly. To be honest, if he can really help, he really wants to keep Wang Hanxin. Although this thorn always causes trouble for himself and refuses to change his teachings, even Su Chengdong has to admit that Wang Hanxin is a rare military talent. As a person who has only been in the army for six years and can achieve the sixth grade at the age of twenty-one, it can only be explained that he has a lot of military talent, and in recent years, Wang Hanxin's performance has become more and more outstanding, and the most eye-catching general in the Liaodong Army is this person, if it weren't for the fact that he caused too much trouble, I am afraid that his official rank will be higher than now. It's a pity that such a person is executed because of this incident, and it is also a huge loss to the military talents of the Silk Country, but it is really unjustifiable if he is not punished.

Just when he hesitated, Wang Hanxin made another astonishing move, he led dozens of dead soldiers to hold a grand public memorial ceremony. They took the charred bodies of the members of the Goryeo royal family and burned incense in the direction of their hometowns, and Wang Han-sin and others wept so loudly that they almost fainted, and the soldiers in the camp wept when they saw everyone. After the public sacrifice was completed, these people came to Su Chengdong's tent together to apologize, claiming that they had no regrets about getting revenge, and they were willing to let Su Chengdong go without complaining.

After Wang Hanxin showed this scene to the soldiers of the full battalion, many soldiers actually sympathized with him and knelt down together to intercede for Wang Hanxin. In the end, the situation was almost out of control, and Su Chengdong could only compromise in order to stabilize the situation. He explained to the soldiers that this matter was related to the emperor's reputation, and it was no longer up to him to deal with it, and the only way to do this was to report to His Majesty the Emperor, if the emperor was willing to pardon Wang Hanxin, it would be the best, and if the emperor wanted him to die, then he could only accept his fate, and finally won everyone's approval.

So Su Chengdong threw Wang Hanxin's hot potato to Emperor Liu Yan. (To be continued......)
