~7 min read 1,385 words

At this moment, after hearing Wen Tianxiang's inquiry, this person immediately replied without hesitation:

"General Wen, these things are of course all true."

"This general estimates that the common people in Lin'an City now already know this news."

"The Han army did not block this news at all, and they even have people specifically spreading it."

"If you don't believe it, you can find someone to inquire about it and you will know."

After listening to this person's words, Wen Tianxiang could not help but believe it a little more.

Subsequently, he said solemnly to everyone:

"This general will verify this matter. If this Han Kingdom is really as you said, then we will defect to the Han Kingdom."

After the few of them discussed for a while, they each left.

After the few of them left, Wen Tianxiang then summoned his servant and arranged for him to go out and inquire about the news.

He could not afford to be careless about this matter.

If it were not for Zhao Yun's terrible attitude in the imperial court today, he would not want to reach this step either.

About an hour later, the servant returned.

After whispering a few words in Wen Tianxiang's ear, he was dismissed by him.

"I did not expect that this Han Kingdom would actually really reclaim all the land of the aristocratic families and distribute it to the common people of the world."

"Moreover, they even provide high-yield seeds to the common people for free."

"Only such a country can truly gain the recognition of the people."

"It seems that the Great Song's fate has come to an end!"

After obtaining the answer he wanted, Wen Tianxiang thought quietly alone in his study.

No one knew better than him what this meant.

Now, those who have heard this news all want to join the Han Kingdom.

Not to mention those common people.

The next day, Lü Bu led the one hundred thousand Shenwu Army and also arrived at the foot of Lin'an City.

"Hehehe, I did not expect that this weak Song imperial court would actually be beaten by foreign tribes to the point of moving their capital to the south!"

Looking at the Lin'an City before him, Lü Bu mocked the Southern Song imperial court once again.

Meanwhile, the common people of Lin'an City, upon seeing that the Han army had arrived, all hid themselves.

However, they were not afraid of the Han army.

Instead, they hoped that the Han army would conquer Lin'an City as soon as possible.

In this way, they would also be able to be distributed land.

However, unlike the joy of the common people.

At this moment, the garrison of Lin'an City was somewhat panicked.

They had long known about the strength of the Han army.

To be able to reach their capital, Lin'an, in just half a month, what kind of strength must that be.

Moreover, this was only one of the two main forces of the Han army.

If they waited for the other large army to arrive, they would not even have the heart to defend.

However, unlike the soldiers, Jia Sizhu at this moment was full of confidence.

"Soldiers, do not be afraid. The Han army only has one hundred thousand people."

"And we have two hundred thousand troops stationed in Lin'an."

"For the Han army to want to forcefully conquer Lin'an with just these one hundred thousand people, it is too wishful thinking!"

"Brothers, do not be afraid. This general will defend Lin'an City to the death with you!"

However, a scene that made Jia Sizhu embarrassed appeared.

As his impassioned words fell, there were not many soldiers who responded.

The scene fell into an extremely awkward situation.

These soldiers knew Jia Sizhu's background.

To tell the truth, he was just a straw bag.

If it were not for having an uncle who was a prime minister, could he have his current position?

The soldiers in the army had long been dissatisfied with him.

Moreover, until now, they had not even seen other generals in the army.

This could not help but make all the soldiers suspicious.

Seeing this scene, Jia Sidao, who was on the side, immediately stood out.

He dared not continue watching; if a mutiny were to be incited among the soldiers, that would be terrible.

"What are you all doing!"

"General Jia Sizhu is the General Who Sweeps Away the Bandits personally appointed by His Majesty, responsible for commanding two hundred thousand troops to wipe out the Han Kingdom's rebel bandits in one fell swoop. You do not respect the military orders now; are you trying to rebel?"

After speaking, he even took out Zhao Yun's imperial edict.

It must be said, as soon as Jia Sidao's words came out, the Song army soldiers immediately lowered their heads.

"This general obeys the order!"

Several generals in the army, seeing this scene, secretly gritted their teeth and submitted.

"Greetings, General!"

Following the lead of the few, the army behind them also shouted along:

"Greetings, General!"

Seeing this scene, Jia Sidao nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, he scolded Jia Sizhu, who was standing stiffly on the side:

"Useless thing, why don't you hurry up and command the army!"

Jia Sidao at this moment also did not expect that this nephew would be such a piece of trash.

He could not even handle a group of soldiers. At this moment, he even somewhat regretted recommending this fellow.

However, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.

At this time, Jia Sizhu hurriedly came back to his senses.

"You few, follow this general up the city tower."

"You few, go to all the city gates to check; you must ensure the safety of every city gate!"

Jia Sizhu hurriedly gave orders to the several generals.

"This general obeys the order!"

Upon hearing this, the few of them also immediately obeyed the order.

Now, even if they were unwilling, they could only obey Jia Sizhu's orders.

And at this time, Lü Bu had already led the army and arrived two hundred paces outside Lin'an City before stopping.

"Listen, soldiers of the Song Kingdom in the city, I am Lü Bu, Commander of the Great Han Empire's Shenwu Army."

"The Song imperial court is without Dao, the emperor is muddled, and treacherous officials hold power. Why don't you hurry up and open the city gates to surrender."

As Lü Bu's voice, mixed with Innate True Qi, fell, the entire Lin'an City heard his voice.

"Lü Bu, how is that possible!"

"This guy must be faking the name of Lü Bu."

"Exactly, Lü Bu was a figure from over a thousand years ago; how could he possibly be alive until now!"

On the city tower, everyone who heard the name Lü Bu made sounds of disbelief.

This was truly too unbelievable.

Lü Bu, that was the number one military general of the Three Kingdoms period back then.

Who did not know, who was not aware.

How could he possibly appear here.

At this time, a Song military general on the city tower stood out, pointed at Lü Bu, and said angrily:

"Bold rebel, you actually dare to impersonate the name of Lü Bu. Today, this general will behead you, a petty person who dares to impersonate the name of a sage of the past."

After speaking, this person quickly went down the city and rode his horse to meet Lü Bu in battle.

"Good, General Fan is mighty. You go out to battle and behead the Han rebel!"

Looking at the military general going out to battle, Jia Sizhu said loudly in excitement.

This person was exactly Fan Wenhu, the military general who had defected to Jia Sidao.

After Fan Wenhu went out of the city, he held a long spear and pointed it at Lü Bu, challenging him:

"You person impersonating Lü Bu, do you dare to come out and have a battle with your Grandpa Fan!"

And at this moment, Lü Bu, hearing Fan Wenhu's words, could not help but be extremely angry.

Thinking of himself, the dignified Commander of the Great Han Empire's Shenwu Legion, he was actually called an impersonator of another's name by this fellow.

This was truly something that could not be tolerated!
