Yang Wenqian volunteered: "I am willing to lead my elite troops to attack. I beg General Shan's permission!"
"Wen Qian is truly a young hero... This general has no problem with it, but I still have to ask your father." Shan Gaoping looked at Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing looked into Yang Wenqian's eyes and knew that he had made up his mind, so he said, "You can go out, but you can't fight!"
"I obey your command!" Yang Wenqian said, and immediately organized the military forces.
When Zhong Wenrang was about to arrive at Yuanhai City, an enemy army suddenly rushed out from the mountain.
"I am Yang Wenqian. This time I will only take Zhong Wenrang's life. All irrelevant people should leave immediately!" Yang Wenqian shouted loudly, driving his warhorse and using a spear to attack the soldiers blocking the way.
Although Zhong Jun tried his best to stop him, he did not expect that this young general was so fierce and could forcibly tear open a hole.
The cavalry behind the young general also charged forward, expanding the torn hole.
"Protect the general!" Seeing Yang Wenqian coming to kill him, Lu Jiachong immediately led his troops and urged Zhong Wenrang to avoid the attack.
Yang Wenqian attacked suddenly. If Zhong Wenrang had not evacuated in time, he would have been captured by the other party first.
"Don't even think about hurting the general!" Zhongwen ordered his general Ai Dengfan to quickly block Yang Wenqian, but he was almost killed by the other side.
"Your strength is not enough to stop me!" Yang Wenqian quickly stabbed out several shots, almost taking the other person's life.
"General Ai, the two of us are here to help you!" The other two generals, Yu Kaidu and Ji Jingyu, supported Ai Dengfan.
Hearing that the three great generals had all appeared, Zhong Wenrang finally felt relieved and watched the fight from a high place.
These three generals all have the strength of a second-grade martial master or above, and Yu Kaidu is about to become a first-grade martial master.
No matter how powerful this young general is, he will never be able to defeat the three people working together.
Just as Zhong Wenrang was thinking this, Yang Wenqian became more and more courageous and killed the three men so hard that they lost their momentum.
"So vigorous... Could he have reached the realm of Martial Saint? But he is so young, this shouldn't be possible." Lu Jiachong said in shock.
"Tsk... Shan Gaoping actually has such a fierce general under his command! Wait... his surname is Yang? Could he be the son of Yang Ruoqing?" After speculating, Zhong Wenrang immediately ordered: "Capture Yang Wenqian at all costs!"
As long as we catch Yang Wenqian, maybe we can get Yang Ruoqing to surrender!
"Young General, don't continue fighting!" A soldier reminded Yang Wenqian.
Yang Wenqian frowned, knowing that the enemy was about to surround them, so he ordered his horses to turn in another direction and followed the rest of the soldiers to break out of the encirclement.
All three generals wanted to stop the other side, but the BMWs under Yang Wenqian quickly left them behind.
"Damn it! We can't even stop them. It's really a waste of our time to raise them." Zhong Wenrang cursed viciously in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm on the surface.
"General, let's proceed steadily and wait for the follow-up troops to catch up." Lu Jiachong patted Zhong Wenrang on the back.
Zhong Wenrang had no choice but to set up camp on the spot.
When the troops gathered, Zhong Wenrang received even worse news.
Zhong Wenrang's younger brother, Zhong Zhourang, hurriedly dismounted and reported the situation in the Ye Kingdom court: "Brother, the emperor has fled south to the Central Plains, and Ye Kingdom has surrendered to Xiang Kingdom!"
"I didn't hear clearly... Can you say it again?" Zhong Wenrang felt incredible and thought it was an illusion.
"The emperor has left Ye State and fled to Xiang State, where he pledged allegiance to Emperor Chen Yunxuan." Zhong Zhourang repeated.
"What are you doing? There is only one emperor, and there are so many of you that you can't even keep him under control?" Zhong Wenrang laughed in anger.
"Brother... the emperor went out to worship his ancestors, and we couldn't stop him." Zhong Zhourang sighed. "After arriving at the imperial mausoleum, Qin Boren's army appeared and escorted the emperor south. By the time the rest of the army reacted, it was too late to stop them..."
Zhong Wenrang's legs went weak, but fortunately Lu Jiachong supported him in time.
"What a joke... I've only heard of ministers defecting, but never heard of the emperor defecting." Zhong Wenrang laughed loudly towards the sky, his spirit on the verge of collapse.
Wait...Xiahou Yan might have had this plan from the beginning.
No wonder the other party agreed so readily. At least he had to find someone to hold him back...
Damn it! Who could have expected Xiahou Yan to be so spineless!
Now that Xiahou Yan has surrendered on behalf of Ye State, his Zhong family has lost the best opportunity to surrender to Chen Yunxuan.
"...All soldiers, listen up and retreat to Yanzhou... We still have a chance!" Zhong Wenrang finally regained his composure and issued the last military order.
Zhong Wenrang reorganized the army and retreated northward.
On the way, Zhong Wenrang met Chen Yunxuan's army.
Chen Yunxuan, Lin Tongxi and others looked down at the embarrassed Zhong Wenrang.
"Your Majesty, the Zhong family has repeatedly acted disrespectfully towards their master. I dare to request that the Zhong family be severely punished!" Xiahou Yan quickly changed his identity.
Ever since he was established as the crown prince, he knew that the Ye Kingdom was doomed to perish.
In this case, it would be better to surrender to Xiangguo and take revenge on the Zhong family who tried to undermine the imperial power!
"Don't worry, my dear Xiahou Yan. I understand. He will pay the price... but not necessarily now." Chen Yunxuan patted Xiahou Yan's shoulder.
"I am sorry for the offense, but this hatred is really unbearable. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Xiahou Yan saluted respectfully.
Chen Yunxuan smiled and waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
Lin Tongxi took out a loud speaker and handed it to Bai Wujiu.
"Zhong Yuanrang, the four northern states have surrendered, why don't you surrender quickly!" Xiaojiu shouted with a loudspeaker, expressing his intention to persuade them to surrender.
Zhong Wenrang had no choice but to surrender.
With the surrender of the last army, Xiangguo finally unified the land of China, and the thirteen states of Yan, Guan, Chang, Hai, Huai, Xin, Ying, An, Long, Chuan, Xiang, Lin and Ling all belonged to Chen Yunxuan!
