Chapter 160: People are in panic, Chu Yun comes to help! (Subscribe)

Yangzhou, Chenliu County.

Hanyang City is the capital of Chenliu County, but at this moment the entire city has been under martial law, and there is a solemn and terrifying atmosphere in the air.

The world is pale, wars are raging everywhere,
Now, the invincible rebel army has successively captured Jialing County and most of Jianghua County. The relationship between the imperial court and the rebel army has become like water and fire, and the situation is tense.

Under such a tense situation, coupled with the court's increase in military service in order to replenish troops, the city was in turmoil and the people were living in misery.

"Hey, this is nothing. In the end, it is us poor people who suffer."

"That's right. All the men who saved me in the alley who were over 20 were captured. I heard they were rushed to the front line in Yunfu City, Jianghua County."

"But I heard that the policies of the rebel army are very good. If the rebel army can really..."

When he said this, he looked around carefully and whispered, "If we can really win, it wouldn't be a bad thing for us."

"Yes, the imperial court has been exploiting the people more and more over the years."

"That's right. If I didn't have a family to support, I would have risked my life to join the rebels. I wouldn't have to live such a hard life."

"Who says it's not?"

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed immediately and their eyes flashed with complicated light.

In fact, they had long been resentful of the imperial court, but the imperial court still had its power, and no one wanted to run into this bad luck. However, even so, if the rebel army really captured Chenliu City, they would definitely welcome them.

However, at this moment, a sneer suddenly rang out, shattering the fantasies hidden in everyone's hearts.

"Humph, are you really that confident? Do you really think the imperial court is a paper tiger?"

The person who said this was an elderly gentleman named Jia Xiucai.

Although he was over fifty years old, he still had the pride of a scholar who was unwilling to go along with the crowd. There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, as if he was looking down on the common people in front of him.

Jia Xiucai slowly stood up and waved the folding fan in his hand gently, as if to sweep away all the dust in the world. His voice was not loud, but it had an unquestionable power that struck people's hearts.

"Yangzhou is extremely important to the imperial court. The imperial court will never give up Yangzhou."

"The imperial court has already gathered reinforcements from all over the country. When a million-strong army approaches, the rebel army will be completely destroyed."

"You know, the rebel army now only controls a few states, while Daqian controls the entire 18 states. The foundation of the imperial court over the years is definitely not something a small rebel army can compare to."

As the old man spoke, his tone became increasingly high-pitched, and a look of honor and pride appeared on his face, as if Daqian was his home.

However, people did not buy into his words.

"Oh, Mr. Jia is dreaming about his grand plans again!" A young man sneered, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

"Old man Jia, do you really think Daqian is still the same Daqian as before? The court has been corrupt and the people are living in poverty over the years. As a scholar, you should know this well." Another middle-aged man said indignantly.

When everyone saw the old man, they all showed contempt in their eyes. Jia Xiucai's ancestors had produced a number one scholar. Although his family fell into decline, he was still protected by his ancestors. Although his life was not as good as those dignitaries, it was still very good compared to them.

"Bah, what bad luck! One day, you will witness the demise of Daqian with your own eyes."

"Hey, stop talking. It's impossible to explain it to this old guy!"

"That's right, if someone else hears this, it will be terrible!"

"Let's go, it's really bad luck!"

……

All of a sudden, everyone who had been discussing enthusiastically before, scattered like birds and beasts, leaving the old man alone to sulk.

Faced with the fierce attack of the rebel army, although they knew in their hearts that the rebel army's policies were more benevolent than those of the imperial court and that they truly cared about them.

However, they have lived under the oppression of Daqian for countless years and have their own families and concerns.

They have to think not only for themselves but also for their families.

The current rebel army is indeed powerful,

But they are still under the rule of Daqian, and it is absolutely impossible to ask them to rebel.

But even so, deep down in their hearts, they still hope to see the scene of victory.

……

at the same time,

Yuan Chenghuan, who was stationed outside the city, was also frowning.

"General, the reinforcements recruited from various states are already on the way. Why are you still so worried?" The young deputy general at the side looked at Yuan Chenghuan's face with some confusion, confusion and doubt in his eyes.

In his opinion,

No matter how brave the rebels are,
But in terms of military strength, the rebel army had no more than 500,000 or 600,000 troops at most.

But what about their court?
You have to know that the troops gathered from all over the place alone amounted to 500,000, plus the imperial court also sent 600,000 elite troops.

No matter how you look at it, they should have a greater chance of winning.

"Eh!"

Yuan Chenghuan sighed, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and pointed to Leling City, which had already been captured, and said: "Look at Leling City, there is already a precedent. Do you still think that more people will be useful?"

"General, what do you mean?" When the deputy general heard this, he was suddenly shocked, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Fifty thousand troops attacking a city with twenty thousand defenders. The advantage is mine?"

Yuan Chenghuan looked at Leling City on the map, his eyes uncertain, and murmured worriedly: "If we still hold on to this mentality, Hanyang City will be the next Leling City."

Fifty thousand against twenty thousand,
Before the battle of Leling City took place, he was absolutely convinced that the side with 50,000 troops had absolutely no chance of winning.

But now, facing the naked danger of the rebels, he hesitated.

He had to think about whether the Hanyang City where he was stationed would become the next Leling City.

Two hundred thousand soldiers from all over the country,

Adding the 50,000 elite troops of the imperial court and the 100,000 troops he brought this time, it roughly adds up to about 300,000 troops.

Although these 300,000 troops seemed mighty and unstoppable, the troops actually mobilized by him, the commander-in-chief, were only tens of thousands of his own personal soldiers.

The so-called personal soldiers from all over the country and elite soldiers of the imperial court must have their own thoughts. How could they obey his orders? When the army gathers together, all parties will have to compete for their interests and argue with each other.

Even if the relations between the parties are not handled well, there may be a big chaos.

This means that this time, he only had 300,000 troops to fight against the rebels. Looking back now, we can see how low his chances of winning are.

In addition, there was another thing that worried him even more, and that was the local troops temporarily recruited by the court.

The imperial court originally had insufficient military force. In order to make up for the shortfall in military force, it increased military service and forcibly conscripted many young men.

At this time, all those who were conscripted were poor people. They had long been dissatisfied with the court, and the court's actions at this time were simply adding fuel to the fire.

He was worried that these local armies would become demoralized under the rebels' conspiracy, and would be like a pile of loose sand, with no fighting power at all.

It would be fine if these people didn't hold us back, but if they spread the panic to the entire army, then it would be like a bad apple spoiling the whole barrel.

……

Just when Yuan Chenghuan was worried, Lin Zhongyun looked at Yunfu City opposite thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, King Wu, news has come from Anshan County that Chu Yun's army has retreated. Should we..." Yuan Jingxin handed the secret report from Anshan County to Lin Zhongyun.

"Withdrawal of troops?"

Lin Zhongyun looked at the secret letter from Anshan County, frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In fact, he thought that a proud and conceited person like Chu Yun would not admit that he was inferior to others and withdraw his troops from Anshan County.

But now it seems that no matter how proud you are, it will be crushed into dregs and nothing in the face of cruel reality.

Chu Yun withdrew his troops from Anshan County. Logically, he should have been happy, after all, the danger of Yuzhou was resolved. But at this moment, he just couldn't be happy.

Since Chu Yun has withdrawn his troops from Anshan County, it means that he is now on his way to rescue Yangzhou. This also means that he is very likely to be attacked from both the imperial court and Yuan Chenghuan, and be attacked from both sides.

If it really comes to that, the rebels will be in danger.

Therefore, he must be on guard from now on.

Things have developed to this point, and the rebel army is in a difficult situation. They have no choice but to take over Yangzhou.

At this time, even if he wanted to withdraw from Yangzhou, I am afraid that the court would not let them leave just like that.

not to mention,
He was unwilling in his heart.
As long as he takes one more step, Yangzhou will be in his pocket. Only then will he truly have established a firm foothold in Daqian.

Thinking of this, he also called out the system video upload interface in his mind and uploaded the video.

These past few days have been fruitful for the rebel army. The two major counties of Yangzhou have been captured by them. Although there is still a Yunfu City struggling to hold on in Jianghua County, the isolated city has long had no impact on the overall situation.

For the first picture, he chose a picture of the rebels raiding various cities in Jianghua County under the cover of night.
The night was dark, and the sky was full of flames.
A million-strong army was at the gates of the city, and the extreme feeling of oppression was indescribable.

For the second picture, he chose photos showing people in panic in cities across the country, with the military morale low and the people suffering.

The third and fourth photos show the scenes when the army was approaching and people in the major cities were in panic and terrified.

For the last photo, which is the fifth photo, he chose the impregnable Yunfu City in front of him and captioned it as follows:
"Jianghua County has been captured, and the imperial army is stationed in Chenliu City, ready for battle. The imperial army has recruited soldiers from all over the country and is heading to Yangzhou. If Chu Yun withdraws his troops from Anshan County, he may be at risk of being attacked from both sides!"

After the input is completed, the video will be uploaded directly.

As usual, the video attracted countless comments and became more popular as soon as it was released.

However, what is different from the past is that this time, the comments section is no longer filled with surprise, but a tone of relief.

“See, this is what’s going to happen.”

"Yes, with the previous accumulation, the court officials and soldiers are nothing now."

"That's right, after years of hard work, the anchor has finally shown his true colors and is now proud of himself."

"Yangzhou is just a starting point, the next step is the world, the future of the anchor is promising!"

"I have been watching you from the beginning, so you should listen to me!"

"Anchor, you are able to achieve what you have today, but you must not forget the big men in the comment section."

……

At this time, the comment section was full of words of relief.

Now, in their view, the rebel army is unstoppable, and it is normal for the imperial court to suffer defeat. If the rebel army is defeated, that would be truly surprising.

at the same time.

[Shangguan Wolong: With the might of Daqian and the army approaching, the situation is not good! ]

[Cat hair processing artist: The imperial court still has some heritage after all. The country has been in existence for 500 years. Such a profound accumulation cannot be squandered by a few generations of incompetent rulers.]

[Shangguan Wolong: Yes, but the effect of this centrifugal plan is far from what I imagined. Otherwise, the situation of the rebel army would never be like this.]

【There are turtles everywhere, and I have the biggest head: Haha, Brother Wolong is still a little wishful thinking. For those common people, they have lived under the rule of Daqian for hundreds of years, and they have long been accustomed to these beatings and scoldings. If a few simple words can awaken the hostility in their hearts, it will not take thousands of years for their thoughts to be liberated. 】

[Pidan solo porridge: This is the so-called policy of keeping the people ignorant. The people have been indoctrinated with the idea that the imperial court is irresistible since birth. How can they accept it if you suddenly ask them to rebel against the imperial court? 】

[Shangguan Wolong: That’s right. The common people all have families to rely on. Rebellion will involve many people. How many people dare to take such a risk?]

[Cat Hair Processing Artist: But now is not the time for you to reflect. The most important thing is to think about how to solve the current predicament.

Although the fighting power of the rebel army is no longer what it used to be, the imperial court's million-strong army is no pushover either, and we cannot take it lightly. 】

【I have the biggest headache: If you ask me, everything still comes back to the most important starting point, the issue of food and grass. Winter is coming, and food and grass are the top priority. If we can get rid of the imperial court's food and grass warehouse, I'm afraid his million-strong army will not be able to hold out for long. 】

[Shangguan Wolong: No, this suggestion is good in normal times, but you overlooked one point. Now we are fighting at the doorstep of the imperial court, that is, Hanzhou. The reason why Hanzhou is called the capital of Daqian is not because of anything else, but because of the thousands of acres of fertile land, it is the most important grain producing area in Daqian.

Chenliu County is only a few hundred miles away from Hanzhou. This is your first raid on the army's food supplies, but considering the importance the court attaches to this battle, I'm afraid that a steady stream of food will be delivered that night. 】

[Cat Fur Processing Artist: I don’t recommend this either. Not to mention that we can’t find their food warehouse, even if we do find it, it will definitely be heavily guarded and traps will be set.

Regardless of whether they can succeed or not, if the rebels suffer a loss here, the previously accumulated reputation of being undefeated will be annihilated. 】

at this time,
Looking at the screen full of group messages, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the sound of clacking keyboards immediately rang out under his hands.

The next moment, he sent the message directly to the group.

[Lin Daiyu angrily kills Maitreya Buddha: People’s hearts can still be used, one punch is enough to open them, so as to prevent a hundred punches from coming! ]

Ps: I beg for monthly tickets, and I beg my brothers to support me. I beg you! Bang bang bang!
