An Fan was amazed and sighed: "After all, Daliang's foundation is more lasting!"

"Even the descendants of criminals can be accepted into this elegant hall. This really opens my eyes!"

Ye Zhongliang snorted coldly, rarely sounding sarcastic.

"This is a wild and barren land with limited knowledge. I can only absorb the essence of Daliang to enrich myself."

"However, I have not mastered the art well, and only know the meaning of the expression, but not the inner meaning."

"It's like an embroidered pillow, it looks good but is useless!"

Ye Zhongliang was full of sarcasm, but he did not explicitly say that Xie Ping'an's history was untrue.

Firstly, no concrete evidence was found in Jiangling Prefecture.

Secondly, this is a mistake in the history books, how can we let foreigners know about it? This is tantamount to sending it to others and making them laugh.

Third, he is not a fool.

Si Yang interrupted him several times. Maybe there was some other plan here?

An Fan was confused. How could he only know the meaning but not understand the inner meaning?

But, he heard clearly the people who called him a useless person afterwards.

An Fan said "Oh" in a sarcastic tone and looked at Chu Heng.

"So, Emperor Liang is planning to ignore this matter?"

Chu Heng's eyes were sharp as he met An Fan's gaze.

"It is not the place for outsiders to dictate how my subjects should be rewarded or punished!"

The two people's eyes met in the air, and an invisible competition began.

An Fan, in the Wusun country, was just a former Minister of Rites.

How can he compare to Chu Heng, who conquered the world in the sea of ​​swords and blood.

Within a few breaths, he was defeated and had to look away to avoid his oppressive gaze.

But... An Fan laughed softly, and the laughter became louder and louder, as if he was going crazy.

Then he suddenly stopped smiling and took something out from his arms.

An Fan smiled maliciously and said loudly: "I, Wusun Kunmo, have formed an alliance with Yilie."

"And everyone knows that we support the King of the Eastern Xiongnu, and you in Daliang support the King of the Western Xiongnu."

"In that case, there is no need to resort to all that pretentious talk. The alliance between Wuliang has long been gone!"

The military officer next to him rolled his eyes and cursed, "You ungrateful bastard!"

During the reign of Chu Tianchen, Daliang helped Wusun, destroyed Dayuezhi and expanded its territory.

Although there was an intention to ally with Wusun and resist the Xiongnu, it was a win-win situation for both sides.

Not to mention that the Chi family had so much silk that, after leaving Yumen Pass, it was all handed over to Wusun for secondary sale to countries and regions further west.

I don’t know how much money was earned from the price difference to enrich the national treasury.

Otherwise, it is the Wusun territory, which is half desert, half grassland, and not much farmland.

I don’t know how long it will take to become rich.

The military officer's call of "ungrateful" was indeed very appropriate.

An Fan glanced at him and said sinisterly, "I, Wusun, have made a new ally."

"I think the coalition forces are now close to the border of Liangzhou."

"If the Emperor of Liang does not want the people of Daliang to shed blood, why not... execute the Marquis of Jiangling."

"I can also send a letter to the border, asking General Wusun to show mercy."

All the civil and military officials were so angry after hearing what they heard that they wished they could cut An Fan into pieces.

The angrier they got, the happier An Fan became. He laughed and said, "I forgot to say that just now."

"My new allies in Wusun are the Scythians."

The words "Scythians" were like a basin of ice water poured over everyone's heads, chilling them from head to toe.

To the north of Daliang were the Huns, to the westernmost part of the Huns was Ile, and to the west of Ile were the Scythians.

The Scythians, like the Huns, were also a people on horseback.

The only difference is that they have no fixed place to live and are more brutal than the Huns.

At the end of the previous dynasty, a massacre took place on the western border of Daliang.

They don't want gold, silver or treasures, they just want cloth, food, medicine, and fertile women...

Historical books even say that the Scythians were like wild beasts, eating human blood and flesh raw.

No wonder Wusun had the confidence to challenge Daliang, as they originally formed an alliance with it.

In this case, the Eastern Xiongnu will probably also mobilize their troops.

Although Daliang had harassed it a lot in the spring, it has become more savvy in the past two years.

In spring, cattle and sheep are driven into inland areas.

Even if the pasture resources are crowded, it is better than being shot to death by the Daliang assault troops.

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes and counted carefully. Since the fifth day of this month, envoys have been sent to the Goryeo front.

Even on horseback, things were going well.

It will take nearly ten days for the cavalry to return to Beijing.

According to her understanding, there were the Yizhou Army, the Liangzhou Huaiyuan Camp, and the Shenwu Camp.

It is possible to resist Wusun and Western Xiongnu at the same time.

But if we add the Scythians...

Although I don’t know the exact strength of his troops, I can tell from An Fan’s overflowing self-confidence.

I think the Scythians’ combat capability and military strength must not be too bad.

But would such a nation form an alliance with Wusun?

Xie Yuheng frowned in thought.

On the other side, An Fan looked at Chu Heng again.

"If Emperor Liang executes the criminal Marquis of Jiangling, I can ask the general to send the troops later."

"I wonder what Emperor Liang thinks?"

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I am really sincere!"

"If Emperor Liang doesn't buy into this, there will be nothing but bloodshed in Liang Province."

Chu Heng's hands under his dragon robe were clenched into fists, with veins bulging.

He stared at An Fan for a long time without saying a word.

The old Prime Minister, who was standing at the front, also had an extremely solemn expression on his face.

Marquis of Jiangling enjoys a high reputation among the people.

For example, in the capital city, there are countless temples, big and small, that enshrine longevity tablets for him.

If we execute him as he said, it will probably shake the people's hearts and damage the morale of the army.

However, the Western Army alone was unable to resist the Three Kingdoms' Allied Forces.

If the Scythians were numerous...

Even if the troops withdrawn from the Goryeo front were used to resist the coalition forces of the three countries, it would be useless.

But General Ji’s troops north of Bingzhou cannot be withdrawn.

After a long moment, Chu Heng looked at Xie Yuheng seriously and spoke with difficulty.

"In that case, I will follow the envoy's advice and execute Xie Yuheng."

An Fan's face lit up with joy, and then he heard Chu Heng say, "But the people of Daliang especially love the Marquis of Jiangling."

"If you want to execute someone, there must be a reason."

An Fan shrugged and smiled, "Thank you, Ping An. As the descendant of a guilty minister, isn't this enough?"

Chu Heng shook his head, "The people of Daliang are not so easy to fool."

"Since we are going to execute someone, we must be careful and have evidence."

A gleam of light flashed in An Fan's eyes, and he turned his head to look in the direction of Chi Guanxu.

"I heard from Lord Chi that there is a tomb in the ancestral tomb of the Marquis of Jiangling's hometown."

"The tombstone has a surname but no name."

"There is another person in Lord Chi's mansion, who is the great-grandson of the former Xie clan leader."

"In this case, can it be used as witness or evidence?"

Chi Guanxu, traitor!

The official on his right raised his leg and kicked Chi Guanxu.
