Chapter 72 [Sowing discord and seizing Hulao Pass with wisdom]



The three of them conspired under the candlelight until dawn, only then did they finalize the details.

The next day, Lin Han went alone to Hulao Pass to challenge the enemy. He killed a general who came out of the city to meet the enemy and left with his head.

The next day, Lin Han went to the gate of Hulao Pass to challenge again. The generals and soldiers inside Hulao Pass recognized Lin Han and did not dare to leave the city.

Three days later, Lin Han let Zhang Liang stab him, then rode out of the camp with the injury and headed for Hulao Pass alone.

It takes some self-torture to sow discord.

"Open the city gates."

Lin Han rode his horse with his silver spear in hand and shouted at the foot of Hulao Pass.

"Who is coming?"

On the city wall, the soldiers guarding the gate shouted to Lin Han, and when they saw the blood on Lin Han's body, they became alert instantly.

"I am Xiao Hange, Marquis of Duting. I have important military information to report to Lord He Miao, the Yin of Henan. If you delay the military information, you will be punished." Lin Han took out his identity token and shouted.

After confirming the token, the soldiers guarding the city hurriedly opened the city gate.

Lin Han rode in, pretending to be weak and falling on horseback, and was taken away by the soldiers for bandage. Not long after being treated by the military doctor, He Miao was led into the tent by a soldier.

Seeing the real person, Lin Han was delighted, but he didn't show it and still looked weak.

"I heard that you are Xiao Hange, the Marquis of Duting?" He Miao asked.

"Who are you?" Lin Han asked vigilantly.

"How dare you not even recognize Lord He? And you still say you want to find Lord He?"

One of the subordinates shouted and glared at Lin Han, but was stopped by He Miao.

"I am the Henan Yin He Miao you are looking for."

"You are Master He?" Lin Han was surprised and wanted to stand up and salute, but he sat down weakly: "Master He, I am injured and it is inconvenient for me to salute."

"No need. I heard you were looking for me for important military information?"

"Yes."

Lin Han looked around, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

For a moment, he thought that if he became an actor in real life, he would not starve to death.

"Master He, this matter is of great importance, it is best if only you know about it."

"Sir He, this person's origin is unknown, we can't go out." When the personal guards around him saw He Miao wanted them to leave, they hurriedly stopped him.

"The orders of Marquis Duting and Lieutenant General are here, so how can their identities be unknown? I have met Lord Xiao once in the court. Lord Xiao brought a plague prescription into the palace and was appreciated by the emperor. Besides, Lord Xiao is injured now, what can he do? You don't need to say anything more, just get out." He Miao snorted coldly.

"Thank you, Lord He, for your trust." Lin Han said weakly.

"Marquis Xiao Ting, there is no one else around now. If you have anything important to say, please speak up."

"Sir He, the Yellow Turban rebels have invaded Sili, and I, the Marquis of Duting, have been granted the title by the Emperor. I cannot remain detached. I wish to enter Luoyang to request permission to lead the troops against the rebels. Last night, while passing by the rebel camp, I infiltrated it alone, intending to assassinate its leader. However, I stumbled upon them plotting a plan to break through Hulao Pass."

"What?"

He Miao's hair stood on end.

This is a big deal, absolutely a big deal.

Hulao Pass is the fortress leading to Luoyang. Once it falls, there will be no more strategic locations to defend on the east side of Luoyang, and the Yellow Turban troops will march straight into Luoyang.

This is a fatal matter.

Moreover, he is now in charge of the battle of Hulao Pass. If Hulao Pass is breached, the consequences for him will be dire.

"Did you hear the content of their conspiracy?"

"I've only heard part of it. The bandit leader Zhang Liang and the divine envoy Lin Han are conspiring to contact their supporters inside Hulao Pass. During the battle, they will cooperate with the insiders and the outsiders to open the city gates for the Yellow Turbans."

"What?"

He Miao's expression changed drastically.

There were actually Yellow Turban soldiers collaborating inside Hulao Pass. This was a terrifying event.

Without waiting for He Miao to ask, Lin Han continued.

"Unfortunately, at the critical moment, the Yellow Turban leader discovered my ambush. I then engaged them in battle, but the Yellow Turbans were outnumbered and powerful, and I was wounded by the leader, Zhang Liang. I didn't overhear the name of the accomplice, but the military situation was urgent, and we didn't know when the Yellow Turbans would attack the city. I could only advance, despite my injuries, to warn Lord He to be careful of the Yellow Turban accomplice."

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Xiao."

He Miao was deeply moved and almost burst into tears of gratitude to Lin Han.

It's true, and this matter is extremely urgent.

"Sir He, the name of the Yellow Turban traitor is not known. Sir He must investigate thoroughly and not wrongly accuse a good person." Lin Han said weakly.

"Okay, I will definitely investigate thoroughly." He Miao promised solemnly: "Master Xiao, take good care of your injuries."

For two days, Lin Han recuperated in Hulao Pass. He liked to wander around and did not show anything wrong.

At this time, He Miao was deeply suspicious and looking for a traitor.

Lin Han was injured and didn't seem to be lying. Besides, there was a history of Xu Feng, Feng Chan and others colluding with the Yellow Turban Army, and some local officials also defected to the Yellow Turban Army, so he firmly believed in the traitor.

Lin Han felt that the time had come, so he said goodbye to He Miao.

"Sir He, my injuries have mostly healed. Wars are raging across the country right now, and I need to go to Luoyang to see if I can lead troops against the Yellow Turban bandits. Sir He, I don't know if the traitor is true or not, and I haven't heard the specific name. When investigating, you must be cautious and don't wrongly accuse good people."

Lin Han rode away and when he reached a place where He Miao could not see him, he changed his clothes and changed into his second identity 'Lin Han' and returned to Hulao Pass in disguise.

Now that the time is ripe, He Miao firmly believes that there is a traitor.

After lurking in the city for two days to ensure his primary identity was no longer suspected, Lin Han took action. This trip had a total of four targets, all of whom were powerful generals under He Miao's command.

He Miao is quite useless. He has no capable people under his command. Hulao Pass is just a geographical advantage.

Lin Han sneaked into the residences of the four generals and placed the prepared letter in a hidden but easily searched place - under the pillow.
