Chapter 225: Sima Yan's Self-Knowledge

Seeing that the warrior was pointing at her, Wang Yuelan was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she tried several times before she walked to the front of the crowd with the support of Bi'er.

Fortunately, the samurai didn't pay much attention to her, but just ordered two soldiers to follow behind the three of them and walked out of the mansion.

Outside, sure enough, countless Xiliang people and horses had gathered, and the five hundred people brought by the samurai had been surrounded in the middle.

These horses were originally left by Han Xiu to guard the city, and one of the generals led by them was also an old subordinate who had followed Han Sui for many years.

The military general thought that he was a robber from somewhere, but when he arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, he saw that these people were all dressed neatly in the Wei army's uniforms, and he felt a little strange for a while.

was suspicious, and suddenly heard someone inside shouting: "Madame has arrived." ”

The generals were taken aback.

As Han Sui's old subordinate in the past, of course he had seen this Han Xiu's wife, and when he looked closely, he saw Han Xiu and Han Meng's two wives being escorted out.

The general hesitated and jumped off his horse.

"The villain sees the two ladies?"

The warrior's long sword was in front of his neck, and the cold blade seemed to be about to cut the thin throat at any time, and Han Xiu's wife and Wang Yuelan were trembling vigorously at this time, and even their words became a little stuttering.

"Generals, generals and generals quickly take people out of this place, don't make a mistake." Han Xiu's wife said.

The veteran stood up, holding his sword under his side with one hand, and glared at the samurai.

"How can you be a strong man, you dare to threaten your wife, as long as General Ben gives an order, you will immediately turn into powder."

The samurai didn't speak, but shook his sword vigorously in front of the eyes of the two women.

Leng Sensen's sword aura instantly caused the two of them to scream again.

"Generals, generals retreat quickly, if there is a mistake, I am afraid that my sisters will have no way to live." Wang Yuelan plucked up the courage to say to the veteran.

The warrior smiled and said to the veteran, "Your General Han Xiu intends to rebel, and he has been captured by my old General Fan, and you can leave for the capital tomorrow, if you are really an old minister of the Han family, you should go to General Fan's camp with this general to surrender, so as not to anger my old general, and send Han Xiu on the road in advance." ”

The veteran was shocked.

"Fan Ru, the horseman, actually did such an unrighteous thing."

When the soldiers behind him heard that Han Xiu had been arrested, it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake for a while, and they began to discuss.

Just then, a soldier guarding the city gate came running.

"Back to the old general, a large number of Fan Ru's men and horses poured out of the city, and they carried a letter from General Han Xiu himself, asking me to go out of the city and surrender." The soldier said to the veteran.

The veteran's hands trembled a little.

The letter was indeed written by Han Xiu under the persecution of Fan Ru and others.

In fact, the letter written was not only this one, but also sent out the other eight counties under the jurisdiction of Xiliang, but the content was the same, asking the county guards to immediately come to the Fan Ru camp to "discuss major matters". At the same time, the person who was to carry the letter was named to temporarily take over the post of county warden.

The veteran let out a long sigh and threw the letter to the ground.

"I think about how powerful my general Han Sui was in the past, and he joined hands with General Ma Teng to almost kill Emperor Taizu in Huangquan, but he didn't want to give birth to such a disobedient and incompetent son. General Ben is incompetent and ashamed of the old General Han Sui. As he spoke, he drew his long sword and cut his own throat.

Everyone was shocked by the veteran's loyalty.

Seeing the veteran's blood spraying on the ground in front of him, Han Xiu's wife shook and collapsed to the ground.

Wang Yuelan also exclaimed in surprise and fell into Bi'er's arms behind her.

The samurai put away his sword, walked over to the veteran, and arched his hand at the still twitching corpse.

"The old general needs to be blamed for this matter, it's just that Han Xiu is incompetent, Xiliang has such a loyal person, but Han Xiu will not make good use of it."

The Lord was dead, and all the soldiers who followed him chose to throw away their weapons.

"Prepare the carriage and horses, and take Han Xiu's family out of the city." The samurai commanded.

It didn't take long for several carriages to be ready.

Five hundred people escorted the cart and thousands of Xiliang soldiers who had just surrendered out of the city.

The next thing was almost effortless, after receiving Han Xiu's letter, those county guards who did not know the truth handed over the letter to the messenger, and soon came, and the result was the same, they were all controlled by Fan Ru.

A few days later, the long procession headed in the direction of Luoyang.

Luoyang, Jin Palace:

Hao Yi came to Sima Yan's study with Fan Ru's letter.

"Uncle is really high-minded, this Fan Ru really caught Han Xiu's house." After reading the letter, the corners of Sima Yan's mouth curled slightly, and he said.

"Has the king ever seen that Sima Ban Confucianism is also mentioned in the letter?" Hao Yi asked.

Sima Yan's face became solemn.

"Uncle made someone kill Xu Zhi's entire family, I thought that this guy and Chen Ji's guy had been beheaded, but I didn't want this guy to be alive."

Hao Yi also felt that this matter was a little strange.

"The lower officials thought that this person could not enter the capital again, and the king could write a book to Fan Ru and ask him to kill him on the way, only in this way could the public be prevented from speaking right and wrong." Hao Yi suggested.

Sima Yan thought for a moment.

"This guy has escaped repeatedly, I'm afraid that Fan Ru will not succeed, so I still ask my uncle to personally take someone there, in the name of the labor army, and after killing this guy, I will return to Beijing with Fan Ru."

"Xia Guan also has this intention." Hao Yi said.

At this moment, Yu Lang, the chamberlain, walked in.

"King, lunch has been prepared, can the king eat first?"

Hao Yi hurriedly stood up.

"Please also invite the king to eat, and the lower official will leave."

Sima Yan didn't speak, but looked at Yu Lang, suddenly pointed with his hand, and said, "You go back and clean up, and follow my uncle to the labor army recently." ”

Hao Yi and Yu Lang were stunned for a moment.

"This man is very careful, and if there is a matter, my uncle can consult with him. When you have nothing to do, you can also take care of your uncle along the way. Sima Yan explained.

"That being the case, thank you to the king." Hao Yi was relieved, and arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan will go back to prepare the supplies for the labor army, and strive to leave as soon as possible." ”

"Since my uncle is here, I will simply have lunch in the house and then leave." Sima Yan said, and instructed Yu Lang, "You can order someone to bring the wine and food here, and this king and his uncle will have a few glasses together." ”

"Yes." Yu Lang retreated.

"One more thing." Sima Yan suddenly said, "It is Fan Xu, the son of Fan Ru, who escaped from the capital, this king thinks that this matter must be related to Han Xiu and others, my uncle will go this time, and I must observe it carefully, once I find that this person has different intentions in my life, I can immediately make people report back, and if necessary, I can also kill him immediately, even if I anger Fan Ru's veteran, I can't leave a bane." ”

"The lower official knows." Hao Yi nodded and said, "If Fan Ru complains because of this, the lower officials can be beheaded together." However, it is still necessary for the king to draft a decree, and if he really starts to act because of this, the lower officials can use this as a basis to prevent his subordinates from rebelling. ”

"It's still my uncle's thoughtfulness." Sima Yan said, thought for a while, and added, "When this king goes to court tomorrow, he wants His Majesty to also issue a holy decree, so he said that Fan Ru and others intended to lead troops into Beijing under the pretext of escorting Han Xiu, so they were simply beheaded." Coupled with this Wang Junzhi, I don't dare to make a mistake for those people. ”

Sima Yan was really powerful, he knew that it would be difficult to convince the public with his own decree alone, so he simply moved the emperor out.
