After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 259 The best scapegoat is the Han family

"Stop talking nonsense. What are you, a civilian official, doing here? " Han Yaojun had to deal with the rebels who were coming to attack him while he divided his energy to yell at Rong Qingzhu.

Rong Qingzhu held the knife and did not rush forward for a long time.

He may be an expert at writing articles, but he is a novice when it comes to killing people.

"Don't underestimate people."

Rather than living a cowardly life hiding among the people, it is better to die.

"I don't underestimate you. You hide first. If Prince Chu comes back, there will be a chance for Xi'an City to turn around." Han Yaojun knew that some men of letters were as capable as military commanders in character.

What Rong Qingzhu had done these days was enough to surprise him, a general who had fought on the battlefield for many years.

As a young man from an aristocratic family who has lived in the capital for many years, Rong Qingzhu has been blessed by his family and has indeed been nurtured into a talented person.

He is the most talented among the younger generation, but most young men from aristocratic families simply cannot endure the hardships on the battlefield.

Not to mention the young masters of aristocratic families, even ordinary people would be thrown into panic when encountering such a thing.

Besides, Rong Qingzhu has been assisting the military doctor these days and has witnessed a lot of "life and death" situations.

If it were someone else, they would have been scared and given up.

In this regard, Rong Qingzhu's character is stronger than many people.

"As a civil servant, it's not easy for you to achieve this." Han Yaojun held a spear in his hand and looked at the breached city gate under the city wall with a deep and tenacious gaze.

He whispered, "What happened in Xi'an City cannot remain unknown. The truth cannot be buried forever. Lord Rong, I hope you can endure the humiliation and make the truth known to the world."

As a military general, he had already prepared to die on the battlefield.

The only thing that made him unwilling was the truth that the prince in the capital was colluding with Xi Chu.

He lost not to Qi Jianshu of Western Chu, but to the traitor within.

The most frustrating thing in the world is that you try your best to protect something, but others sneer at you.

Not only that, they also deliberately betrayed the city, ignoring the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city and selling them all to the enemy.

Rong Qingzhu remained silent for a long time as he faced Han Yaojun's eyes that seemed to be entrusting him with an important task.

In his heart, he was saying that he didn't want to be a coward who fled from the battlefield.

But it would be difficult for anyone to refuse the expectant look of such an iron-blooded general.

"Then why don't you try to survive yourself?" he asked.

"It's harder to survive than to die. Besides, your face has not been exposed to these rebels. Even the people in the city don't know you very well."

Even if Han Yaojun wanted to hide his identity, endure humiliation and live, waiting for the opportunity.

But the difficulty he faced was much more difficult than Rong Qingzhu.

He is the commander of a city and a direct descendant of the Han family, with outstanding military achievements.

If Qi Jianshu could capture him alive, his contribution would be greater than taking over the city of Xi'an.

There is no comparison between the two.

Taking over a city means expanding territory.

Capturing Han Yaojun would greatly undermine the morale of all the soldiers in the Great Zhou.

It can also spread the word, making the generals of the Great Zhou develop a natural fear of Western Chu.

Therefore, once he leads the rebels into the city, the first thing he will probably do is to lead the rebels to search the city thoroughly.

If he were Qi Jianshu, Han Yaojun would do the same.

As a general, Han Yaojun's pride and the education he had received over the years made it difficult for him to accept surrendering to the enemy.

Besides, if he voted, not to mention whether others would look down on him, he would look down on himself.

"The Qi family of Western Chu has a pretty good reputation among the military commanders. At least in the battles they participated in, I have never heard of them killing ordinary people in the captured cities."

"My only worry is that they have blocked the news on this matter and kept it secret. I'm afraid that the people in Beijing still don't know what happened in Xi'an."

"I don't care where I die or how I will be treated after death, but no one knows what this traitor is planning behind the scenes and who he wants to put the blame on."

"If Xi'an City falls into the hands of Western Chu, it will be a long time before this matter is made public. If His Majesty is furious, I am afraid that countless people will be implicated."

As a direct descendant of a prominent family, Han Yaojun has to worry not only about the people behind him, but also... the future fate of the Han family.

If it was really done by the prince, given the current emperor's stupidity, he might push the blame on the Han family.

After all, this matter could not come from the royal family. Once the people of the Great Zhou knew that the person who betrayed Xi'an and Xianyang City was actually the prince.

Even someone as incompetent as Your Majesty is aware of the importance of this matter.

Water can carry a boat and it can overturn it.

Once public sentiment and anger become overwhelming, the people's support and trust in the royal family will be greatly reduced.

Whether it is to cover up the scandal or to ensure the stability of the throne, Your Majesty will pin the blame on someone else.

Then the best scapegoat is the Han family.

First, Han Yaojun, as the main general, is the best candidate to coordinate internal and external operations.

2..Everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty is wary of military generals, and he is more than happy to have this opportunity to attack the Han family.

Han Yaojun was willing to die, but he didn't want the Han family to be executed for some trumped-up charges.

Whether it is for the truth or for the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city, it is also the future of the Han family.

There must be a few people alive in Xi'an who have a say, and among them, Rong Qingzhu is a good candidate.

"Sir Rong, this matter is difficult for you. If you don't want to..."

Han Yaojun's eyes sank slightly. As a general, he felt helpless to pin his hopes of clearing his name on a powerless civilian official.

If he had any chance of escape, he would not have made things so difficult for Rong Qingzhu.

Besides, this matter was his selfish motive. If Rong Qingzhu really told him everything, he would not be able to get away with it.

Rong Qingzhu's heart sank, and he sighed softly, "I'm not unwilling."

He knew very well what Han Yaojun meant.

Even if he was not an official, as an ordinary person of the Great Zhou, this matter should be made public.

After all, the story behind this is really infuriating.

Although this task is difficult, someone should tell the truth about Xi'an.

"General Han, please take care of yourself." He looked deeply at Han Yaojun who was willing to die.

Then they followed the people arranged by Han Yaojun and left the city wall. Before they could find a place to change clothes...

The city gate had been broken, and there were so many rebels rushing in that they immediately dispersed Rong Qingzhu and the Han family guards who were protecting him.

Before Rong Qingzhu had time to look for someone, he looked up and saw several rebels hacking at him with weapons in their hands.

He was not afraid, but closed his eyes subconsciously.

I thought to myself, maybe this is his destiny.

Unfortunately, he was destined to fail to do what General Han had instructed him to do.

At this moment, three arrows were shot out at the same time, and the trajectory of these three arrows seemed to have been aimed in advance.

Three arrows brushed past the backs of several people's hands, scratching the backs of everyone's hands, and the weapons in their hands fell to the ground instantly.

It seemed that Rong Qingzhu was about to be injured, but in the end, three arrows killed all of them.

Rong Qingzhu only heard the wailing sounds of several people. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the backs of their hands were covered with blood and they were screaming while covering their injured hands.
