Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 430: In Mourning

"Good good!"

Seeing General Wei cursing him like that, Song Yuan stared at him intently.

"Wei, I'm going to make a bet with you today. I'll let you live so you can see with your own eyes whether I can hold this border!"

"Today, in front of everyone, I make a promise: If even an inch of land is lost on the border, anyone from the Great Qin can kill me at will. If I even try to resist, I will be struck by thunder!"

In order to shake the morale of the army, General Wei deliberately revealed the danger Song Yuan was facing, just to tell the generals around him.

But no one expected that Song Yuan would take this opportunity to express his feelings in front of everyone.

For a moment, the many generals present were not at all panicked.

Instead, he was slightly moved and secretly admired Song Yuan's courage!

With such generals, why worry about the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty?

For a moment, everyone felt that as long as Song Yuan was given enough time, they would be able to defend the border and recover the lost territory!

However, when thinking about the future that Wei Wenzhong had described before, even if everyone trusted Song Yuan, they still felt a little panic in their hearts.

Will His Majesty really completely cut off the supply of the entire Zhenbei Army?

If this day really comes, will we still be able to defend the border?

"Song Yuan, it seems I underestimated you!"

General Wei naturally saw through Song Yuan's plan and sneered, "I didn't expect you to be so good at winning people's hearts. But I have a piece of advice for you. Stop the pretense!"

"I know you hate me. If you really have the guts, just kill me now. Otherwise, as long as I'm still alive, even if there's even a slight chance, I'll definitely find a way to take revenge!"

"Don't worry, I'm not the one who decides whether you live or die!"

Faced with the pressure from General Wei, Song Yuan was not fooled and sneered.

"I, Wei, tell you this. I will send someone to escort you back to the Imperial City. As for how we will deal with you in the end, it all depends on what our father wants. If he lets you live, then you're lucky. But if he lets you die, then you'll only have yourself to blame!"

Song Yuan directly told everyone in front of him what he would do to General Wei, and then suddenly asked.

"There's another thing I'm curious about. When you came to the camp earlier, you were clearly quite far away. How did you notice something unusual?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Yuan spoke out the issue that concerned him most.

He pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't understand how the man surnamed Wei could find the flaw.

Faced with Song Yuan's curious statement, General Wei's face showed a hint of revengeful pleasure.

"Hahaha, Song Yuan, it turns out there are things in this world that you can't understand. Do you want to know?"

"Weren't you very capable before? If you really have the ability, then guess it yourself!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Faced with General Wei's complacency, Song Yuan shook his head disapprovingly.

"Although I said I don't want your life, I never said I wouldn't torture you. As long as you can withstand the various methods of my men, I don't mind not knowing the final method!"

"By the way, General Wei, you were once the commander-in-chief of the entire Zhenbei Army. I think you should know better than me what kind of torture the Zhenbei Army has, right?"

Faced with such a threat, General Wei's body trembled subconsciously, and a hint of fear flashed in his pupils.

In just a moment, all the scenes of him torturing the prisoners before played out in his mind.

Those bloody scenes, let alone being inflicted upon himself, just thinking about them now made General Wei feel horrified.

In such fear, General Wei hesitated for a moment, but finally said the last thing with some stubbornness.

"Do you think you're that capable? I'm telling you, I've already made an agreement with my brother. Upon hearing the news of your death, I'll order everyone in the city to wear mourning clothes!"

"The scene at that time was inconsistent with my previous instructions. I could naturally see the clues!"

This old dog looks like he wants me to die!

When Song Yuan heard the truth of the whole incident, he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

However, facing the prisoner in front of him, Song Yuan finally just waved his hand and signaled his men to take him away.

Some things have passed, so there is no need to say more.

It would be better to use this time to think carefully about how to deal with things next.

……

In the imperial city.

above the hall.

Song Youji sat on the throne with a sullen face, holding a letter tightly in his hand!

This letter was written by Duke Wei himself, and it contained only one message.

Zhenbei Pass is completely blocked!

Even though the Duke of Wei personally led his men to the border without stopping and shouted outside the pass for a long time, he still couldn't open the city gate!

Moreover, according to the information provided by Duke Wei, the commander guarding Zhenbei Pass has been replaced.

The previous General Xu has disappeared, and the one who replaced him is clearly Dugu Xin!

This daring guy sent people to put up a sign outside the Zhenbei Pass with a few big words written on it.

Zhenbei will be closed for a month!

Finally, the Duke of Wei threw a tantrum and stood outside the city gate, cursing loudly, wasting half an hour. Dugu Xin then came forward in person and invited the Duke of Wei into the pass alone!

At the same time, this letter also explained the reason for the replacement of personnel in Zhenbei Pass.

The eldest prince is not dead!

Not only that, even Situ Jing and Murong Lie are still alive and well.

They successfully broke through, splitting into two groups and breaking through the encirclement of the barbarians respectively.

There were 40,000 troops in total, but less than 30,000 escaped in the end. This is the only good news in this letter!

What followed was a series of bad news.

The great general of Wei secretly communicated with the barbarians, which led to the siege of 40,000 troops in three border cities.

After Song Yuan broke through, the subordinates he had led before were outraged.

General Wei's younger brother, Wei Wushuang, has been killed in the camp by the Peacock River!

As for General Wei, he fled to Tianshan City, but unfortunately he was captured alive in the end.

With the fall of General Wei, Song Yuan has taken his place and completely controlled the entire Zhenbei Army.

The Xu family father and son who were guarding Zhenbei Pass have now been imprisoned by Song Yuan. Although they have lost their freedom, at least they are still alive and well!

At the end of the letter, Duke Wei used his own life to guarantee that Song Yuan did this absolutely not because of treason!

As for the specific situation, he will go to Zhenbei City alone and conduct a thorough inspection.

He only hoped that Song Youji could give him some time to figure out the final situation.

At this moment, facing the civil and military officials in front of him, Song Youji waved his hand and handed the letter to the eunuch in charge of the seal beside him.

He asked the eunuch to read out the contents of the letter in front of all the ministers.

In just a moment, the entire hall exploded and everyone was instantly boiling with excitement!

The situation was one-sided, and all the civil and military officials spoke out, saying that Song Yuan had rebelled!
