The middle-aged men in official robes were high-ranking officials of the Yang family in various parts of the Northwest.
Of course, these people also had one thing in common: they were all recommended by Yang Shizhong and were determined to fight the rebel Li Qin to the very end.
Upon seeing Hong Chengchou arrive with Xia Feihu, the Governor-General of Guyuan, one of the elders stood up, took a cup of wine, and spoke directly:
"Governor Hong, today you and Commander Xia join forces, and with the wisdom and courage of Shanxi, you will surely defeat the traitor Li in one battle and restore peace and order to the world."
Hong Chengchou and Xia Feihu exchanged a glance as they looked at the old man who had stood up.
That's right. Xia Feihu brought his troops to Chang'an under the pretext of going to Taiyuan with Hong Chengchou to support Yang Zhiyong.
In response to the old man's words, Xia Feihu simply and casually replied:

"Among your tens of thousands of troops outside the city, there are quite a few members of the Yang family."
But before the person who was speaking could finish, everything went black and he collapsed to the ground.
Behind him, the knife in the hand of Xia Feihu's personal guard was dripping blood.
Subsequently, Hong Chengchou and Xia Feihu's personal guards joined forces to kill the elderly members of the Yang family and officials present.
