Chapter 170: Then let him down
"Brother Xian, thanks to you"
"What should be done, big brother doesn't need to worry"
While speaking, he received a battle report that the reinforcements had arrived, Ji Yang and Marshal Li looked at each other and smiled, this is too timely, fortunately it is time to clean up the battlefield, otherwise the 200,000 army really doesn't have to do anything.
When the two generals learned that the war had ended, and Da Zhou also announced his surrender, the next thing was to discuss the matter of compensation, in order to make the left and right generals feel more comfortable, so Ji Yang handed over the compensation to them and took the two powers to take responsibility, and he was ready to take the rest of the soldiers back home. However, there are some things that I still want to ask for the consent of my eldest brother.
"Big brother, have you ever thought about revenge?"
"Revenge? I was going to go back to my hometown to recuperate after this war ended, but when I thought of my brothers and compatriots dying like this for no reason, I really felt uncomfortable."
"Since it's uncomfortable, let's vent it"
"How do you vent? Could it be that you want to rebel?"
"Since some people are not suitable to be emperors, let him come down"
"This... Marshal Li was obviously a little hesitant, but all the soldiers who followed Marshal Li on the side knelt down in unison after hearing it, "Boss, the faint monarch is in charge, I will swear to follow the commander and General Ji to the death!"
"Okay, it's better to die left and right, it's better to live happily, brother Xian, big brother listen to you" and then said, "But the country has a million heroes, and we people seem to be a little reluctant."
"Millions, a lot?" Ji Yang said as he looked at his eldest brother with interest.
"Haha, I forgot that there is still a freak like you, a thousand to two hundred thousand can be made, what is a million"
"Haha, I think the eldest brother is praising me."
And in the depths of the palace.
"Your Majesty, the situation is a little not optimistic"
"What's so flustered?"
"Your Majesty, Ji Yang successfully rescued Marshal Li, he must already know something"
"If you know what, if you dare to violate, kill it"
"But they also have an army of 400,000 now, and if they really want to rebel, it is very likely that they will lose both."
"Now that this is the case, is there a way for me to retreat? Tell those people that someone is going to rebel, and ask them to give us a helping hand."
"Those monks are all elm heads, will they help us?"
"Could it be their business, I think they should make the right choice"
"Yes, my subordinates will do it"
After quickly dealing with the follow-up matters on the battlefield, Ji Yang decided to go back as soon as possible. It is inevitable that there are many dreams at night, and the 300,000 soldiers who came later admired Ji Yang's deeds beyond measure, and they all wanted to join Ji Yang's cavalry regiment, and Ji Yang also felt that the 1,000 cavalry regiment was a little less, so he personally selected 9,000 elites, so far the cavalry regiment reached a full 10,000, as the trump card force of this army.
And the soldiers who were not selected did not give up, but those with high merit can make an exception to enter the cavalry regiment, and they can challenge any of the cavalry regiments at any time, and if they win, they can replace him. Ji Yang's order was issued, which can be described as quite clever, firstly, to elevate the status of the cavalry regiment to unique, and secondly, to stimulate the enthusiasm of all the officers and soldiers, including the cavalry who have been selected, they do not dare to be lazy and slack in the slightest, and it is very likely to be replaced if they are not careful, which may be a shame for them.
At this time, Ji Yang didn't know that he had become a traitor in the national capital, and even Qingqing's mother and daughter were affected by Ji Yang and were placed under house arrest in Zhenbei Palace.
Thirty miles away from the city gate, Ji Yang ordered the whole army to stand by, and Ji Yang, who always felt that something was wrong, decided to go up and check it alone.
Sure enough, the city wall was densely packed with soldiers from the national capital, the city gate was closed, and the bows and arrows were filled with the wall, and the preliminary estimate was that the range should be about ten miles, that is to say, Ji Yang's army would be so bad that tens of thousands of bows and arrows were ambushed if they walked forward twenty miles, but fortunately, they stepped forward to take a look, otherwise they would suffer heavy losses on their side just by taking a look.
After going back, Ji Yang told Marshal Li about the previous things, and there would be no good strategy for a while, after all, it was easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city, not to mention that his side did not have an advantage in numbers, and suddenly Ji Yang thought of a way, "If the crimes of these two princes are made public, what do you say, big brother"
"But what to do, there are so many people in the city, they are innocent, I don't want to hurt the innocent"
"I've also considered this, how about we have a goddess scattering flowers"
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple, pull out all the arrows on the bow and arrows, and tie a note full of his crimes on them, so as to disturb their military morale and win the support of the people, and our rebellion is to do the right thing for heaven, killing two birds with one stone"
"Good plan, I'll send someone to do it. Suddenly, he turned back to Ji Yang and smiled, "Brother Xian is not suitable for leading troops to fight, but suitable for being a military advisor."
"Haha, that's not bad."
It took nearly a day to get ready, after all, they are all rough people, many soldiers can't even write, only a few people have learned some fur, it is not easy to write hundreds of thousands of words in a day, many people complained, "Let me go into battle to kill the enemy, my hands will not shake, this makes me write so many words, my hands are still trembling... ”
When he was fifteen miles away from the city gate, Ji Yang ordered to "release arrows"
Bows and arrows fell from the sky, many people instinctively dodged, but found that these bows and arrows did not have arrows, so there were no casualties, when they opened the note and looked at the emperor's crimes written in an orderly manner, they couldn't help but beat the drum in their hearts, is this true, if it is true, are we helping to abuse?
It took half a day to finally shoot all the bows and arrows that had prepared the note, and now all Ji Yang needed to do was wait with peace of mind. I believe that the result will not be too bad.
"What an insidious plan, come here, send an order to stabilize the morale of the army, and destroy all the notes for me"
"Also, don't let those people know about it. The emperor in the deep palace angrily announced this order.
Originally, it was definitely necessary to stabilize the army's heart, but shouldn't those bows and arrows with notes be destroyed, which made more people feel that they were covering up something, and the already unstable military heart was now even more chaotic when it was dealt with like this, many people asked to open the city gate and let Ji Yang in, and the people were even more convinced of Ji Yang, and felt that the emperor was a thief.
"It seems that everything is developing in a good direction?" Ji Yang said to Marshal Li as he played with the wine glass in his hand.
