Under the leadership of Huan Wen, the Han army wanted to continue to fight for three months and conquered more than a dozen southern barbarian tribes.

These tribes are relatively powerful, but now they are scared of being beaten and dare to hide in their nests and shivered.

Moreover, these large-scale siege operations also provided the Han army with huge amounts of gold, silver and treasures, and even a large population, so the Han army became more and more active in conquering the south.

"General, look, it seems that there are cavalry from Xiliang there. Should we take a detour?" At this time, on a hill northwest, a scout reported to Huan Wen, who was about to explore the nearby situation.

"Oh?" Huan Wen stopped the horse when he heard the scout's report, and then asked the adjutant beside him, "What do you think?"

The adjutant thought for a while and replied: "General, Xiliang must attack the Xiongnu or Qianghu at this time. If we encounter it, I'm afraid..."

Although the adjutant did not say all the following words, he believed that his lord should know what he wanted to express. After all, he was discussing military affairs now, so he naturally needed to consider it carefully.

"Well..." Huan Wen pondered for a while before saying, "Send someone to investigate first!"

The adjutant nodded and turned around and left.

After the adjutant left, Huan Wen's confidant asked: "General, are you really going? It's not suitable to go to the battle at this time!"

Huan Wen smiled and asked back, "Then when should we send troops?"

The confidant shook his head and said, "Our soldiers are not sufficient! If we go to war rashly now, it will probably be a bit dangerous."

Huan Wen sighed and said, "If I was right, Feng Yu would have joined forces with the Qiang people to attack us!"

"This..." the confidant was stunned for a moment, and then said, "If this is the case, then we really have to take some precautions."

Huan Wen looked into the distance and said, "Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Xiliang Cavalry! If I remember correctly, I have never fought with Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Since I met it today, I have to try it."

"But General, what if..." The confidant wanted to persuade him, but Huan Wen waved his hand to stop him.

Huan Wen said, "It's okay, don't worry, I know the right way!"

The confidant sighed, then turned to assign a task.

Just as Huan Wen was about to lead the army to continue to march eastward, he suddenly received news from Chang'an that Ru from Handan City died of illness.

This incident surprised Huan Wen. He originally thought that he had mastered the political changes in the court, but he did not expect that Ru from Handan City would suddenly die of illness, which caught him off guard.

However, now Ru of Handan City has passed away, and there is no need to care about the affairs in the court for the time being. After all, the court is in chaos now.

However, when he was in Chang'an, the Rus of Handan City still left some legacy and helped Huan Wen stabilize the situation in Guanzhong. Therefore, after receiving the order from the Rus of Handan City, he immediately led the army to Chang'an.

In Handan City, Chang'an, after hearing the news of Ru's death in Handan City, he was stunned for a long time.

Although Handan You had already made the worst plan, he did not expect that this would be the result.

"This waste!" Handan You smashed the cup in his hand hard and cursed.

Handan City You was already extremely angry. He knew that after the news of the death of Handan City Ru, it would definitely cause an uproar and even a series of turmoil, and these turmoils would definitely affect the rights he now has.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" The guard who had been standing beside You in Handan City asked in a low voice.

"What else can I do? Let's continue to implement the plan I discussed with Your Majesty before!" Handan City said with a calm voice.

"But..." the guard hesitated for a moment and said, "But if His Majesty knew this news, he would definitely be furious!"

"I know." Handan City You said, "But now we have no choice but to do this! If His Majesty knew this news, he would definitely not blame us, and would even praise us!"

"Then..." said the guard hesitantly, "Our soldiers?"

"I have told them!" Handan City You said coldly, "Didn't Your Majesty say that whoever can win in Xihe can become a Grand Marshal!"

"Grandmaster?" The guard's eyes suddenly widened. He never expected that his lord would throw out the bait at this time!

"Why? Don't want to?" Handan You stared at his confidant.

"I don't dare!" The guard hurriedly knelt down and said.

Who is the Grand Secretary? He is the position of replacing the emperor with government affairs. Although it is a false title, it can be regarded as a senior official position in the Han court. So after hearing this, the guards knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion.

"Then why don't you go quickly!" Handan You snorted coldly and said, "Do you think this matter can be decided by you and me?"

"Yes! I'll go now!" The guard hurriedly retreated because he knew his lord's character very well. If he had been slowing down by half a beat, he would probably have been kicked down now.

"Haha..." Handan City You sneered, "Handan City Ru, Handan City Ru, do you think that if you die, no one will compete with me for the throne of the emperor?"

"Hahahaha, what you think is so beautiful!" Handan You laughed.

Although Ru in Handan City died, You did not think that he really lost. As long as he was still alive and had a chance to win the throne, even if Ru in Handan City is still alive, it would be just a competitor!

The body of Ru of Handan City was buried in the cemetery in the western suburbs of Chang'an, but the tomb of You of Handan City was occupied by the uncle of Ru of Handan City, and the coffin was buried deep in the cemetery.

"I wish my father a happy New Year and a long life!" After kowtowed to Ru of Handan City, Dian took out the paper money and burned it, and kept praying in his mouth.

Then, Handan City Dian looked at the grave of Handan City Ru, stood silently for a while, and then slowly left.

"Wenzhong, Handan City Wenxiao, you two dog thieves are dead after all!" Handan City Dian murmured, "This life is destined, you can't beat me!"

Handan Shidian's face showed a gloomy look.

Next to the tombstone of Ru in Handan City, there were several royal families in Handan City. They all looked at Handan City Dian quietly. One of the old men walked forward and said, "Zhongye, you don't have to be too sad. After all, now that the eldest brother is gone, we brothers will naturally support each other and work together!"

"The uncle is so serious!" Dian Gong bowed his hand and said, "How dare I bother with my uncles and uncles? After all, I am a concubine now. I am not like my uncles and uncles, but I am still qualified to enjoy the title and salary!"

"Zhongye, don't be humble!" Another person said, "Although our Handan family is a little depressed now, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and is still a prominent family in Guanzhong. You are also the legitimate son and the only legitimate son. This time you will inherit the title. This is something that Moyong doubts!"

Dian of Handan City frowned slightly and said, "Uncle said this badly. If you talk about merit, uncles and uncles have outstanding achievements and are not inferior to nephews. How can nephews overtake their duties and surpass their superiors and inferiors!"

"Zhongye!" said the old man with a smile, "Don't refuse, you should know that now our Handan City family is the highest official rank. If you can't bear this responsibility, then this matter will probably be delayed."

"This..." Handan City Dian looked at the old man.

"Just settle it like this!" the old man said with a smile, "Zhongye, this is a good opportunity!"

Handan City Dian was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Since the uncles and uncles trusted their nephews, they are ashamed of taking this position. They must do their best to protect the lintel of the Handan City family and not lose their glory to our ancestors!"

"Well, Zhongye, you are indeed capable, but you just lack practical experience!" The old man said with satisfaction, "Look, I am not trying to give you the position I have sought for nothing. This is not to mobilize all the private soldiers I have trained for you. I hope you don't let down my expectations!"

Dian Weiwei bowed and said, "My nephew is obeying the uncle's teachings and will never disappoint him!"

The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Zhongye, don't forget that we are grasshoppers on the same boat. No matter who sits on the throne, we will die with him. So, we should prepare for this matter earlier, otherwise it would be too late!"

"Yes!" Handan City Dian bowed and agreed.

The old man nodded, then turned around and left, while Handan City Dian looked at the pile of earthblocks and walked slowly towards the mausoleum of Ru in Handan City. He needed to find a suitable tomb to let his father rest in peace, which was also his responsibility.

"Father, I'm here to see you!"

"Father, my child will definitely not let you down!"

…………

"Ru of Handan City, I will definitely kill you, I will definitely!" Handan City Dian murmured, then knelt in front of the tombstone of Handan City Ru and started crying. His eyes were red and swollen, and tears flowed down his cheeks. "You killed my mother and left her alone for so long. I will definitely not let you go. Don't let me call you father!"

Shortly after Ru of Handan City died, Ru of Handan City appeared in the cemetery of Chang'an City. These people were holding swords and then looked at Ru of Handan City's corpse and smiled contemptuously.

"Let's go back and report to Your Majesty, and we will say we have completed the task assigned to us by Your Majesty!" said a man, "These people are all carrying weapons, we must be fast!"

"Yes!" Everyone nodded and said yes.

These people are the most powerful secret guards under Feng Xie. These secret guards have been secret weapons in Feng Xie's hands from the beginning. Their training target is to assassinate the nobles of the enemy country or military generals. This is why, as soon as Ru from Handan City died, Feng Xie immediately sent them into the grave of Ru in Handan City, preparing to kill Ru in Handan City.

These people were all dead soldiers and were not afraid of life and death. They came to Ru's to the grave of Handan City, then bowed to Ru's in Handan City, then quickly retreated and rushed to Luoyang.

What about Handan City Dian here? Handan City Dian didn’t know what was happening here, and even didn’t know that there was murderous intent hidden in the tomb of Handan City Ru!

After the death of Ru in Handan City, Dian of Handan City cried for three days and three nights. The remains of Ru's corpse in Handan City made Dian of Handan City extremely strong. Even when facing danger, he was still enduring humiliation, keeping his low profile, and waiting for the opportunity.

During this period, Handan City Dian also worked hard to plunder the people's fat and paste, selling most of the original Handan City Government's industries in exchange for a large amount of gold, silver and wealth. Then, it was trafficked to Chang'an through caravans to purchase grain and iron tools. At the same time, it also purchased houses and fertile land in Chang'an, preparing to take root here and establish its own power.

Handan Shidian didn't realize the danger he would encounter at this time, but was busy with his affairs.

"Brother!" Handan Shidian looked at his brother, "We will go to worship the uncle tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, of course it's good!" Zhongye, Handan City, also nodded and said.

"This time you and my brothers join forces, which will surely spread the reputation of Handan City's family throughout the Central Plains!" Handan City Dian said excitedly.

"Okay, I'm waiting for my eldest brother in Chang'an!" Zhongye, Handan City, nodded and said.

The next morning, Handan City Dian brought his brothers and servants to the grave of Handan City Ru, and then burned incense and toasted, and prepared to leave.

"Huh!" Zhongye of Handan City suddenly stopped, then stared at the grave of Ru in Handan City, and snorted coldly, "These tomb robbers are really brave. They dare to dig up the grave here and steal the burial objects in the coffin!"

"Hmm?!" When Handan City Dian heard the words of Zhongye in Handan City, he was furious and drew his sword and chopped it up on the tombstone, then shouted, "You should die! You dare to steal my father's body. It's a crime to die!"

Zhongye of Handan City reached out to stop the furious Handan City Dian, "My brother, don't be impatient! Leave this matter to Wei brother, I guarantee you a satisfactory reply!"

"This...how did this make?!" Handan Shidian hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Please tell me who did it!"

"Even if Brother Wei knows this, I will probably not tell you!" Zhongye of Handan City shook his head and said, "Brother Wei knows you are angry, but it's okay if you and my brother know about this kind of thing. Don't tell others!"

"This..." Handan Shidian was a little hesitant. He really didn't want to cause trouble now. Although he knew that this matter was definitely not a good thing, he also knew that he should not interfere in this matter, so he could only nod and said, "Okay, since my brother doesn't want to say it, then I won't say it!"

"Okay!" Zhongye of Handan City patted Handan City Dian's shoulder and said, "No matter what, I will solve this matter. Don't interfere, so as not to cause trouble. You and my brother are now married. If you get involved, it will be unfavorable to your and my career. Do you remember?"

Handan City Dian gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, don't worry, Handan City Dian knows which is more important in this matter!"

Zhongye of Handan City nodded, then called a few servants to come over, dug out the bones of Handan City Ru, put them into a carriage, and then took them back to Handan City Government.

In the Handan City Mansion, Chen Gong and Pang Tong looked at Handan City Zhongye and Handan City Dian, then sighed and said, "You two are really planning to defect to Zheng Cao?"

Zhongye of Handan City nodded and said, "Brother, this is our choice!"

"Hey, forgot, you two are not like ordinary gentry children anyway. I can't care so much about what you want to do. As long as you can take good care of yourself, I'll be relieved!" Chen Gong sighed, and then said, "You two are not young anymore, and it's time to get married and have children!"

Zhongye of Handan City and Dian of Handan City looked at each other, then bowed their heads and sent Chen Gong and Pang Tong away.

On the other side, Zheng Cao also received the news.

"Hahahaha, this scholar in Handan City
Chapter completed!
