Han Zhen is Shangguan Yu's uncle, the current Marquis of Xuanyang.
At this moment, seeing Ye Rong recognize his identity and that the other party had several times more troops than his own, a trace of panic flashed in Han Zhen's eyes.
"No need to say more, young man. Whether we live or die today, we will know after we try."
Ye Rong saw Han Zhen's hesitation and mocked him while beating him.
"Lord Han, if you surrender now, maybe your Han family will still have a chance to survive."
"But if you persist in your wrongdoing, I'm afraid your Han family will cease to exist because of what you did today."
The hesitation on Han Zhen's face became even stronger, but he also knew that he would not survive today no matter what.
"Stop talking nonsense, boy. If you have any ability, just use it."
Although Ye Rong didn't want to waste time talking to him, he couldn't help feeling a little bit uncomfortable when he saw the young men behind Han Zhen.
"Lord Han, your death is not a pity, but have you ever thought about the brothers behind you?"
"They didn't know anything, and suddenly they went from being good soldiers to being traitors."
"Do you know that they are also the pillars of a family, and are also someone else's sons, fathers, and husbands?"
Han Zhen's hands kept moving, but his tone of voice became a little weak.
"They are all the prince's subordinates and should share his worries."
"Your Majesty has raised them for so long, any price they pay for you is worth it."
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Ye Rong stopped holding back and his movements became more and more fierce.
"Lord Han, since you insist on sacrificing your life for him, I will grant your wish today."
"I just hope that when you get to the King of Hell, you won't regret what you did today."
After Ye Rong finished speaking, Han Zhen was stabbed by him. Han Zhen gritted his teeth, and the deputy general beside him immediately protected him.
"My Lord, the enemy has more people. We have no chance of winning. We will protect you. You should retreat first."
After the deputy general finished speaking, he was about to leave with Han Zhen under his protection. How could Ye Rong let him do as he wished?
Ye Rong swung his sword with force and killed the deputy general in front of Han Zhen with one sword.
"Listen, Prince Yu is not your Majesty's biological son. You are only seeking your own death by doing this for him."
"Your Majesty has already imprisoned him. What you are committing now is the crime of treason, and your entire clan will be executed."
"Even if you don't think about yourselves, aren't you afraid that your family members will be killed?"
"Are you really willing to risk your life and the lives of your family for someone who is not worth following?"
While speaking, Ye Rong was also busy.
After he killed the deputy general beside Han Zhen, his sword was now placed on Han Zhen's neck.
Han Zhen saw that the soldier behind him was hesitant after hearing what Ye Rong said, and immediately opened his mouth to refute.
But Ye Rong did not give him a chance and simply chopped off his head.
"Look, this is the end of rebellion."
The number of people on Han Zhen's side has been decreasing, and now that Han Zhen has been killed, they have lost their backbone.
At this time, an armored soldier in front of the crowd suddenly spoke.
"Second Master Ye, if we surrender, will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let them go?"
A smile flashed across Ye Rong's face, and then he waved his hand, temporarily ending the one-sided massacre on their side.
"His Royal Highness is not a murderer. If you repent, His Royal Highness will not have to kill you."
"However, His Highness has ordered that those whose hands are not tainted with other sins will be spared."
"However, if there is any unclean sin on your hands, your Highness will punish you severely according to the law."
After Ye Rong finished speaking, everyone fell silent except for a few of Prince Yu's confidants.
Today's situation is obvious. The enemy's troops are far superior to ours. If we don't surrender, we will only die.
But if they surrender, I'm afraid none of Prince Yu's confidants will be able to leave alive today.
The man who had just spoken weighed the pros and cons, and finally chose to surrender in the tense atmosphere of everyone.
"Brothers, Prince Yu is doomed. We cannot let our families die with us."
As this man spoke, he was the first to throw away the weapon in his hand.
Someone took the lead, and the others no longer hesitated and dropped their weapons.
Seeing this, Ye Rong immediately ordered the soldiers behind him to temporarily detain all the surrendered people.
However, among these people, there were also a few who held on to their weapons.
Ye Rong looked at them one by one, and they were all people who followed Prince Yu to abuse his power.
"Come here, anyone who doesn't drop their weapons will be killed on the spot."
As soon as these words were spoken, a small group of people rushed out from behind him and attacked those who were holding weapons.
Both sides acted quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, all those who did not surrender were beheaded on the spot.
"Hang these men's heads at the city gate as a warning to others."
"Clear the battlefield. I will report to His Highness first."
After Ye Rong finished speaking, his men began to get busy, and he returned to the palace.
The palace banquet was still going on, and no one knew that a fight had actually taken place in the suburbs.
When Shangguan Lingyun saw Ye Rong coming to him, he knew that things were going very smoothly.
"Thank you for your hard work, second brother."
Ye Rong chuckled, "It's all what Ye Rong should do. Your Highness is too polite."
After Ye Rong finished speaking, he handed Shangguan Lingyun a small box, which he had just found when he was in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Your Highness, here is the evidence that Prince Yu and the Han family are raising troops for rebellion."
