Everyone present, including Yuan Shu, was surprised when they heard Ji Ling's answer.

The hall fell into silence, and after a moment, Yang Hong laughed first.

The laughter was very harsh and echoed in the hall, which was creepy.

Although Yang Hong is only a chief minister, he has a high status in Huainan.

Yuan Shu has always relied on him and has given him many important matters to him. In order to please and agree, civil and military officials who are good at flattering each other, they all laughed.

Yuan Shu raised his hand to stop everyone from laughing wildly, and looked at Ji Ling with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect you to find such a bad excuse."

"Your Majesty's clarity!" Ji Ling defended anxiously: "Not only did I see it with my own eyes, but also the soldiers of the three armies. Your Majesty just find a soldier and asks you clearly..."

"General Ji." Before Yuan Shu could speak, Yang Hong sneered and said, "If you lose, you will lose. Even if you find another excuse, you can find such a reason. Do you want to deceive Your Majesty, or do you think your colleagues are fools?"

"Everything I said is true, there is no false statement." When asked by Yang Hong, Ji Ling became even more anxious: "Your Majesty also asks you to find a soldier..."

"Before returning to Shouchun, General Ji should have discussed with the defeated soldiers." Yang Hong interrupted him: "In order to survive, what lies can they not tell?"

"Please believe me!" I really didn't know how to argue, Ji Ling's plea seemed so pale.

"What do you want me to believe?" Yuan Shu's face turned pale and he clenched his fists tightly: "Do you want me to believe that Lu Bu can really be reborn?"

Ji Ling's defense disappointed him extremely.

The powerful generals who have made countless contributions can actually find such a bad excuse!

If it weren't Ji Ling, but some other general, he would have ordered to be dragged out and chopped.

"General Ji does not want to repent and tries to deceive Your Majesty, his heart will be punished." Yang Hong bowed to Yuan Shu and said, "I beg your Majesty to give him a death sentence to avoid causing trouble in the future."

Several ministers who wished they could kneel at Yang Hong's feet to ask for his orders: "Please be sure to kill Ji Ling!"

Full of anger, Yuan Shu still couldn't bear to kill Ji Ling.

After all, Ji Ling has been with him for many years and has made a lot of contributions and even more hard work!

Yang Hong and others asked for their orders, but Yuan Shu didn't know what to do.

Yan Xiang stood up: "Our army's new defeat was not good. Ji Ling's guilt is not to be questioned, but now is not the time to kill him. It's better to imprison him first and conquer Lu Bu before asking for guilt."

"The Lord Yan said it right." Yan Xiang gave a step, and Yuan Shu quickly ordered: "Tak Ji Ling into the death penalty and wait until I defeat Lu Bu before I can make a decision!"

Two guards stepped forward and twisted Ji Ling.

Ji Ling struggled for a few times and tried to defend himself, Yan Xiang winked at him.

Seeing Yan Xiang's wink, Ji Ling swallowed the words to his mouth and was taken out of the hall by two guards.

"Our army was defeated in Louting." Yan Xiang said to Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty cannot leave a chance to breathe, otherwise there will be chaos."

"It's reasonable." Yuan Shu looked around everyone: "Who would lead the army to attack Lu Bu?"

No one, including Yang Hong, took the initiative to ask for the fight.

Cao Cao almost captured Xia Pi because the Cao family's army was as strong as the sky.

In recent years, Cao Cao has won many battles, and most of the Central Plains have surrendered.

Yuan Shu, who was entrenched in Huainan, was getting worse every day.

First, Yang Feng and Han Xian rebelled, then Lei Chu and Chen Lan became a bandit.

Last year, Cao Cao sent troops to attack Huainan.

Li Feng and Le were killed in battle.

Looking at the Huainan men, there are really not many generals who can lead troops.

"Is no one willing to share my worries?" Yuan Shu's face looked even more ugly.

"The chief Yang Hong is loyal and loyal, and has the talent of conquering the world." Yan Xiang took the opportunity to make a statement: "It is his only confrontation with Lu Bu."

Yan Xiang and Yang Hong were always at odds.

When Yuan Shu was elected as emperor, Yan Xiang tried his best to stop him.

The aides led by Yang Hong advocated the benefits of becoming emperor, and even secretly slandered Yan Xiang.

The two of them appeared to be peaceful, but they fought to the death.

Recommended Yang Hong, Yan Xiang was clearly pushing him into the fire pit.

Without waiting for Yang Hong to refuse, Yuan Shu spoke: "The Master Yan is right, and the Chief Secretary must fight against Lu Bu!"

Even though he knew that he had been cheated by Yan Xiang, Yang Hong did not dare to defend himself, so he had to accept the order.

Yuan Shu planned to attack Lu Bu again, but he didn't know that Lu Bu had arrived in Huainan.

They stayed in the morning and walked around Zhongli to avoid Xia Cai, and went straight to Shouchun.

Shouchun is located at the foot of Bagong Mountain.

The nearby mountains are continuous and beautiful scenery, making it a good place to cultivate one's character.

At the end of the Warring States Period, the capital of Ying of Chu was unlucky, so the King of Chu moved the capital here.

Chunshenjun’s tomb is located in Shouchun City.

The battlefield where the Chu general Xiang Yan fought against the Qin army was also around Shouchun.

Lu Bu is not about traveling around, nor is he remembering the ancients!

He had only one purpose, kill Yuan Shu and took Huainan!

Although Huainan has experienced many wars, its population is still larger than Xuzhou, which has several war places.

By defeating Yuan Shu, he will be able to recruit troops in Huainan.

Although it is not enough to compete with Cao Cao, at least you can protect yourself!

The crescent moon hangs in the air, like a smiley eye staring at the earth.

Outside Shouchun City under the night, what is about to happen will not make people laugh.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao lie dormant among the grass with five hundred soldiers.

A few torches are lit at any distance in the city wall.

The flames reflected light spots on the city walls, and also exposed the Huainan army who were patrolling the night before Lu Bu and others.

With a gesture, Lu Bu stood up and rushed to the foot of the city wall first.

There were several Huainan troops walking back and forth at the top of the city wall.

There was no news of the enemy's siege, and the Huainan army on the night was not very alert.

More than 500 people were like badgers stealing melons in the fields at night, jumping towards the city walls quickly.

Squatting under the dark shadow, Lu Bu nodded to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao made a gesture.

Fifty soldiers then stood up and swung the hook in their hands.

The hook flew out and hung it onto the top of the city wall.

After grabbing a rope, Lu Bu jumped up.

Zhang Liao and his soldiers followed closely behind.

Seeing that he was about to climb to the top of the city, Lu Bu suddenly stopped.

He quickly gestured to signal the climbing soldiers to stop.

He pulled the hemp rope and hung his body in the air, and his feet pressed against the city wall. More than 500 people held their breath and looked at the city without blinking.

Two Huainan troops walked by slowly with weapons.

They looked around symbolically, but they didn't pay much attention to what was dormant in the darkness.

When they walked past, Lu Bu pulled the hemp rope tightly and jumped onto the city wall first.

Zhang Liao and his soldiers also rushed up one after another.

Lying dormant in the shadows beside the battlements, Lu Bu gestured to the two soldiers.

The soldiers understood and drew out their short swords and quietly followed the two Huainan troops who were walking over.
