The aftermath of Ning Hu's blood splashing in the court quickly spread. Everyone in the capital was talking about the public trial with relish, but the spectators were more concerned about how heavy the collision was, how deep the wound on Ning Hu's head was, and why didn't the thousands of peach blossoms bloom, spreading the reactions of all the adults in the court. As for whether Jiang Anyi really colluded with the enemy, there were not many people who cared about it.

In the mansion of Duke Shen, above the tower of Qianliu, Wang Keming and Zhao Wei were drinking, and both of them were half drunk. The footsteps of "dongdong" were urgent, Wang Yongyou came upstairs, clasped his fists and said, "Duke, I'm back from the trial."

Wang Keming threw the bronze bottle as big as a fist in his hand towards Wang UFIDA. Wang UFIDA opened his right palm and grabbed the copper bottle. He shrank his hand back and unplugged the strength. No drop of the wine in the bottle was splashed out. He drank the wine in the bottle and Wang UFIDA stepped forward and put the copper bottle back on the table, laughing and said, "Thank you for the wine."

Zhao Wei stared at the drunken eyes and scolded, "Wang Yongyou, don't be too naughty. Drink for a while, please tell me about the situation of the public trial. Brother Jiang is fine."

Wang Yongyou recounted the public trial. Zhao Wei was so angry that he screamed, "It's so irritating. Brother, don't stop me. I'm going to the court to argue for Brother Jiang tomorrow."

Wang Keming sighed to the sky and said, "It's not that I don't speak for Jiang Anyi, but I'm afraid that the defense will not be successful, but will drag him down. How can it be convinced when the court treats Jiang Anyi like this? Ning Hu was angry and hit the table today, afraid that someone would raise the flag to rebel in the future. For a moment, I, Wang Keming, was originally a person to be guilty. In order to protect the talent of the whole country, He Xi was slandered. When the trial was held again, I went to the court to argue for Jiang Anyi."

At the right time of You, the drum sounded, and Zheng Lu stipulated that the drum sounded four hundred times to close the city gate. On the wall of the Jinguang Gate, the prison guard Xu Ningxiu looked at the warm clouds in the distance. He had been on duty for three days and had not returned home. After closing the city gate, he had been handing over the door and went home early. He sent a letter to the house saying that his youngest son was fighting with someone in a private school and asked him to go home to deal with it.

At the city gate, there were still many people entering the city gate before the city gate was closed. The drums were already halfway, and there was no sign of people on the official road outside the city. Xu Ning Xiu was about to go down the city, and suddenly he saw yellow dust rolling in the distance, and a fast horse was coming quickly. When the rider rushed into two miles, Xu Ning Xiu could see clearly that the horse was wearing red scarves, red sleeves, and red and white letter bags on his back. He was the postman.

"Get the road open and let the postman pass." Xu Ningxiu said loudly. The soldiers at the city gate hurriedly drove the people entering the city to the sides, and the fast horses passed through the city gate with strong wind, leaving behind rolling yellow dust for everyone in front of the city gate to discuss with each other.

The fast horse stopped in front of the Ministry of War. A person on duty came over in front of the yamen. The postman rolled down and sat on the ground untied his bag, shouted loudly, "Eight hundred miles to hurry up, Huazhou Army urgently reported."

The military was urgently reported that no one dared to delay. Immediately, someone took the letter bag and ran into it to deliver the letter. The Tianxia Post Station was supervised by the Doctor of the Ministry of War. At this time, the Ministry of War had dispersed the yamen. The person on duty was Yang's Yuanwailang. The urgent report was reported by the Governor of Huazhou, Ma Shishu, who broke through the defense line of the Anxi Protectorate. The commander Yang Xiangliang died in a fierce battle. Nearly half of the 180,000 troops were lost. They retreated to the Huiye Mansion. The Western Regions Alliance besieged Huiye Mansion and asked the court to send troops to rescue quickly.

…………

On February 19th, a guest came to Han’s Mansion in Wenjin County. Old Master Han welcomed him into the secret room. After leaving everyone out, Han Yuanshi said, “Brother, where are you from?”

Zhou Shaofeng laughed and said, "I am in the camp of the Western Regions Allied Forces. This time the Western Regions Allied Forces advanced eastward, and our Great Qi State also sent 5,000 troops to go out to the expedition."

Han Yuan was silent. No matter what, as a Zheng native, he still didn't want to see foreign enemies invade, but his brother was in the enemy camp, so what should he say?

"Shaocheng, I'm here to see you this time by the order of Emperor Qi." Zhou Shaofeng said. Han Yuanshi remembered the Emperor Wu Yuanzhen of the Great Qi Kingdom who lived in his stable and asked casually, "Is Your Majesty okay?"

Zhou Shaofeng sighed, "Shaocheng, we have been together for another eleven years. The news is not clear. His Majesty passed away as early as the second year of Jianwu. The Great Qi State has replaced the new emperor. The old emperor's nephew Wu Haisheng, Liu Ziwei, Dan Yuanzi, Zheng Pingren and others have all died. Among the older generation, Yu Qiusheng and I are the only ones left. A generation of new people have replaced the old people. Now the Great Qi State is supported by young people like Yang Siqi, Li Qing, and Zhao Liangcai. I just occasionally come forward to help and attach."

After holding up the white beard on his chest, Zhou Shaofeng sighed, "Brother, I am 84 years old this year. It's not long since. I don't know how many more I can meet you."

Han Won was also a little sad and sighed, "Brother, I am also a seventy-three person. Four generations have to live together. I am much lucky than brother. Brother, you are old, don't run around anymore, just stay in my mansion. We brothers are together day and night, brother, I will support my brother to live for the elderly. If my brother is willing, I will adopt one of my grandchildren and inherit your bloodline in the future."

Zhou Shaofeng said, "Let's talk about it. I came to see you this time under the order of Emperor Qi to persuade you to surrender to the Great Qi State. Don't shake your head in a hurry. I will make a decision after listening to my brother. You are my only relative in this world, and I can't harm you."

Han Won moved his chair uneasyly. He was old and just wanted to live his life safely. He no longer wanted to worry about family hatred and national hatred.

"Shaocheng, the Western Regions coalition forces are approaching. Do you think the Zheng army can defend it?" Zhou Shaofeng asked.

Han Wang really disagreed and said, "The Western Regions coalition forces often invade, but they just rob some things and leave. When the court sends a large army to aid, they will naturally retreat."

"This time it's different." Zhou Shaofeng said, "This coalition invaded Rong Mi Kingdom, the leader of Rong Mi Kingdom. The king of Rong Mi Kingdom was a brilliant strategy. Before advancing east, he had reached an agreement with the countries to equally divide the territory of Zheng Kingdom. Nearly half of Huazhou's county town has fallen. The coalition did not move the people away and snatch supplies, but sent people to drive Zheng people to plow the fields and prepare for spring plowing, and occupy them for a long time."

"The Great Qi State relied on the Rong Mi Kingdom, and had two counties in the Western Regions. In recent years, it had gathered the Zheng people who were stranded in the Western Regions, and there were 50,000 people. In addition to the old people of Daqi who moved from the islands, Daqi State had 100,000 subjects and 5,000 cavalry. This time, Yang Dashui led his men to seize Jingmen Pass and made great contributions. The king of Rong Mi Kingdom promoted Yi Ding and Hecheng to the Great Qi State, which echoed Yuanyi County and Kott County in Rong Mi territory (the Great Qi State borrowed half and half from Wei Qi in the fourth year of Jianwu). Yang Siqi and Yang Xiang were preparing to reclaim the deserts within the four counties, and the area of ​​Daqi State could increase tenfold, and then the Great Qi State would be considered a real country." Zhou Shaofeng said with hope.

Han Yuan was unmoved and said, "After all the countries in the Western Regions have small areas and small populations. There are millions of troops in Dazheng. When Mobei vacated for his move, the Western Regions coalition forces will be defeated."

Zhou Shaofeng sneered, "Zheng army lost 300,000 troops in Mobei, and the four major prophets were all drawn. The 60,000 troops that came to rescue from Mobei this time were already the limit of Zheng State. Zheng State would not have reinforcements in the short term. Brother, I will tell you, Wumo, Wanlu, Piye and other countries saw the coalition victory, and recently gathered 60,000 troops to participate in the war. The number of coalition forces exceeded 300,000. Brother, do you think Yang Xiangliang can defend Wen Jin's front line? The coalition forces broke through the Zheng army's defense line, and Wen Jin City was burned. Brother, there is a plaque of "Zhongyi Han Mansion" written by Emperor Zheng, which will definitely become a disaster. Do you still have to take the whole family to the city wall like you did back then. Only Liangqing is left among your three sons, and will six grandsons be ruined? Pity your dozen great-grandchildren cannot escape this disaster."

Han Yuanshi was speechless. He was no longer as brave as he was back then. As he got older, he felt more and more pity for his descendants. He would never bear to see his descendants die under the knife and arrow. After a while, Han Yuanshi said, "I will let Zhiyu and Zhirui and others take their family to the Huiye Mansion for a while. If it really doesn't work, go to the capital or go south. Zheng State can always avoid it."

Zhou Shaofeng said, "Shaocheng, there is a plaque of 'Zhongyi Han Family' in your house. How can you abandon your family and escape? This makes the world think of you, and the court will blame you. The court had already found out that the court had stolen and sold military weapons, but I saw that the plaque did not go into it in depth. If the Han family abandoned Wenzhi County, it would be like abandoning this plaque. People leave their hometowns and are cheap. At that time, countless people will flock to you and swallow your property cleanly. Would you bear to see your grandchildren who have no food and clothing to live under someone else's roof?"

Han Yuanshi knew that his brother was talking about the truth. Thinking of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren who were all used to living a good life in a rich and frugal manner, how could he bear the pain of displaced? He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Brother, what's the benefit if I surrender to the Great Qi Kingdom?"

Zhou Shaofeng smiled and said, "Brother, as long as you can help the coalition forces break through the defense line of the Zheng army, Emperor Qi promised to grant you the founding Duke. In the future, Zhiyu and the others can inherit this position. In addition, King Rong Mi promised to reward you with 50,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 cattle, sheep, 10,000 camels, and thousands of servants. If you are not optimistic about the Great Qi Kingdom, the Han family can settle down in any of the twenty-eight countries in the Western Regions. Emperor Qi also has a thank-you gift."

Han won was really moved. Although the Great Qi State was just a small country with a sesame size, the hereditary founding Duke was also very rich. Even if he didn't like it, he could still let his grandchildren try it. If the Great Qi State became a climate in the future, it would be considered a founding merit of the Great Qi State. Besides, the others settled down in the Western Regions and had branches and leaves, Zheng State would never be able to fight to the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Han Yuanshi said, "Brother, I will listen to you and help the Great Qi State. After all, our father is the Minister of War of the Great Qi State, and I am also a descendant of the Great Qi State."

Zhou Shaofeng happily patted Han Yuanshi on the shoulder and said, "Dad must be happy that we brothers can return to the Great Qi State."

Han Won sighed, "It's a pity that plaque of 'Zhongyi Han Family'."

Zhou Shaofeng sneered and said, "Your surname is Zhou, where did the Han family come from?"

On February 20, Han Wang led hundreds of families to the Zheng camp to work the army and stayed at his son Han Liangqing's camp overnight. At the third update, Han Wang led his family to ignite the tent and open the gate of the village. The inside and outside welcomed the coalition forces to break the village. Yang Xiangliang led his army to fight back, outnumbered and retreated. Yang Siqi led his troops to ambush the army halfway, Yang Xiangliang was killed, Zheng State was defeated and left Huiye City, and the Western Regions coalition forces besieged Huiye Mansion.
