Although Liu Ye was a demoted prince, he was still the King of Zhao and the governor of Yanmen County.
In the entire Great Han Dynasty, no one dared to be his enemy on the surface. His journey was smooth and smooth, and he arrived at Yanmen Prefecture (where the entire Yanmen Prefecture was located at Yanmen Pass).
Along the way, Liu Ye had also gotten a clear understanding of the situation in Yanmen Gate through Xue Rengui.
The general guarding Yanmen was He Jin's relative, He Guang, and Yanmen was completely controlled by the Shi clan. The troops were also controlled by the Shi clan's trusted aides.
Liu Ye was not surprised when he heard this. The Great Han Dynasty had raised soldiers for 400 years, and those aristocratic families had long been fed with fat oil.
Whether it was the local or Luoyang, the gentry clans occupied the greatest interests.
Even Liu Ye had tried to rope in the Yang and Yuan Families.
In the imperial court, General He Jin and the eunuchs were the fiercest. It seemed that he had already grasped the power of the Great Han Dynasty.
In reality, the great clans didn't take these two forces seriously at all.
All the places were controlled by the great clans, and if the Imperial Court wanted to carry out its decrees, they had to rely on those great clans.
Although Liu Ye did not like the gentry clans and even had the intention of weakening and eliminating them, he did not dare to destroy them too harshly.
The group of people did not walk for long and soon arrived at Yanmen Pass. He Guang, who had already received the news, quickly sent people to guard the pass.
He personally led the guards of Yanmen Pass to block Liu Ye's path.
"Liu Ye, you actually managed to come here alive?”
He Guang was shocked to see Liu Ye here, especially the three thousand black-armored soldiers behind him.
"You are the general of Yanmen, He Guang. How dare you call me by my name.”
"Now that this king has received the order of His Majesty the Emperor to take over Yanmen, you actually dare to put on such a lineup.”
"Master, with the distance now, can you shoot He Guang on the city gate tower?" Liu Ye lowered his head and said in a deep voice.”
After Liu Ye learned that He Guang was He Jin's relative, he didn't have any thoughts of recruiting people to surrender. The best way was to kill people to establish his authority.
"What's so difficult about that? Within a hundred steps, taking the enemy's head is as easy as taking something out of a pocket.”
"Your Majesty, just wait and see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Rengui took out the strong bow on his horse and shot an arrow at He Guang with lightning speed.
As a famous master archer in history, Xue Rengui's archery skills were unparalleled.
That arrow was like a shooting star. He suddenly flew out.
Before He Guang could react, he felt his vision turn black and he fell to the ground.
The subordinates beside He Guang looked at He Guang, who had died with grievances. They were so scared that they retreated one after another, completely losing their composure.
"This…Who is this? He was able to kill General He Guang from two hundred steps away. He is simply a godly archer.”
"General He Guang is a relative of the Great General. Now that he was killed by the King of Zhao's subordinates, how should we explain this to the Great General?”
"Now that General He Guang is dead, what should we do?”
……
He Guang's subordinates were trembling in fear and were in a mess.
"Soldiers on the city tower, listen up. This king is the Yanmen County Chief personally conferred by His Majesty. Quickly open the city gates and let this king in. Otherwise, this thief He Guang will end up like you.”Liu Ye said coldly.
"Open the city gates!"
"Open the city gates!"
……
The 3,000 soldiers behind Liu Ye waved their weapons and shouted.
The imposing voices made these guards even more afraid. He was so scared that his entire body was trembling.
Seeing that Liu Ye actually had such a terrifying subordinate, all of them felt their scalps go numb.
At this moment, no one dared to stop Liu Ye. All of them rushed down the city, preparing to open the city gates and let Liu Ye in.
Firstly, Liu Yegui was the King of Zhao. If they were killed, they would have no place to complain.
Secondly, Liu Ye was the governor of Yanmen, who was personally conferred by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Without He Guang's interference, if they dared to stop Liu Ye, it would be equivalent to disobeying the imperial edict. That was a major crime that could exterminate nine families. No one could bear this responsibility.
After thinking this through, all the guards in Yanmen Pass were shocked. He opened the city gate to welcome Liu Ye into the city.
"Quickly gather all the soldiers of your Yanmen Pass.”
After Liu Ye ordered the gate of Yanmen Pass to be closed and sent the Black Armor Army to take over the defense of Yanmen Pass, he immediately gathered all the generals of Yanmen Pass.
"Deputy General Wang Yue of Yanmen Pass!"
"Deputy General Yang He of Yanmen Pass!"
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, the 6,000 guards of Yanmen Pass have all gathered.”
Two generals dressed differently from the other soldiers came to Liu Ye and cupped their hands.
Liu Ye glanced at the two and understood that they were representatives of the great clans.
"Listen, from now on, Yanmen Pass will be taken over by my direct descendants.”
"This…Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not appropriate.”
Wang Yue and Yang He looked at each other in surprise.
Just as Liu Ye had thought, the two of them were representatives of the great clans.
How could they have thought that the first thing Liu Ye would do when he came to Yanmen was to take away their military power? The two of them were naturally unwilling.
