Chapter 162: The Jiangdu Rebellion (I)

After consultations, the three parties finally reached a joint agreement. Each sent a pair of men and horses to form a coalition army and jointly launched an attack on Jiangdu, since the Yuwen family gave them this opportunity, the fool did not take advantage of it. In the end, Du Fuwei sent 30,000 horses, Li Zitong sent 20,000 horses, and Shen Faxing also sent 20,000 horses, a total of 70,000 troops to prepare to attack Jiangdu. Du Fuwei wanted to occupy a dominant position, so he sent 30,000 troops, which could not shake the foundation for him with 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses and a wide range of influence, but 20,000 horses was a little tight for Li Zitong and Shen Faxing, after all, they were only 20,000 or 30,000 men.

"General Chen, you lead 50,000 horses to defend the south gate of Jiangdu to prevent Shen Faxing's rebels from crossing the river and sneaking attack. General Li, you lead 50,000 horses to defend the West Gate to prevent Du Fuwei from sneaking up on the West Gate. I personally led the army to sit at the east gate and the north gate! Yu Wenhua and said to Chen Ling and Li Jing, after the mobilization of Yu Wenhua, Chen Ling and Li Jing successively pledged allegiance to Yu Wenhua, but despite this, Yu Wenhua still didn't trust these two very much, after all, these two people were also favored by Yang Guang before, and they couldn't ask them to accept the name, so Yu Wenhua didn't tell the plan of himself and others, and only sent the two of them to defend the two gates that the rebels would not attack, and he could really implement his plan.

"Yes! The last general will not let a single thief get close to the walls! Li Jing hurriedly responded, he was a wall grass, seeing Yu Wenhua and gaining power, and Yang Guangri was thin, so Yu Wenhua and as soon as he did ideological work, he did not hesitate to throw himself into the arms of the Yuwen family.

"I don't understand!" Chen Ling didn't respond with all his mouths, although he took refuge in the Yuwen family, but his personality was there, and he felt that Yu Wenhua was a little inappropriate, so he mentioned it directly.

"Oh~, I wonder why General Chen thinks it can't be?" Yu Wenhua and his heart are unhappy, you are a defector, you don't do what the new master says, what's the beginning, don't you see how good Li Jing is? Of course, on the surface, you still have to look like a smile.

"The last general thinks that there is no need for me to treat the thieves as if I were facing a great enemy, and we have an army of 400,000, even if there are more thieves, it is only 100,000, why should we wait for them to attack, why not send troops to pacify them, so as to stabilize the surrounding situation." Not only Chen Ling, but even if any general knows this truth here, the strength of several times the number of thieves is huddled in the city, and spreading it will not only be aggrieved, but also make the thieves feel that they are easy to bully.

"How did this official not know?! Did General Chen think that sending troops was such a simple matter? Thieves can have cities that are not defended, and they are difficult to exterminate, and once the stalemate is too long, the consumption of grain and grass is not a small number, you don't know that rice, oil, and salt are expensive, since this official took care of Jiangdu, he found that the original Jiangdu has long been empty under the rich surface, not to mention that there are still 400,000 troops to feed, and the daily use of His Majesty's palace is a large expense. Don't you want to exterminate these thieves? But as soon as the war is going to make Jiangdu dangerously fall into a situation of no food, all of these must be borne by the official, you all look at the surface of the official, but who can understand the burden on the shoulders of the official?! Yu Wenhua and his tearful performance made Chen Ling and Li Jing bow their heads in shame.

"It's the last general who misunderstood the adult, the last general doesn't know the bitterness in the hearts of adults, the last general is just a rough person, and I hope the adults don't remember the blame!" Chen Ling found that he had misunderstood Yu Wenhua, so he quickly apologized, if Yu Wenhua recorded this unhappiness, then he would have endless shoes.

"Okay, I don't mean to blame anyone, I just want you to know that this official is not ignorant of military affairs, and his father was also one of the best military masters in the dynasty." Yu Wenhua was afraid that others would look down on him, after all, the life and death of more than 300,000 troops in his hands, if he didn't have a little military talent, it would be difficult to convince the public, so he invited his father, the great god, to show that he hadn't eaten pork and hadn't seen a pig run? I haven't brought soldiers but I have a military father, so it's up to others to guess.

"Yes! The last general knows that he is wrong, and the last general must do his part according to the instructions of the adults! "If you don't express your position, you will be too ignorant, after all, everyone has invited all the people buried in the soil to come out, what else does he Chen Ling have to say.

Jiangdu, the military camp, come to protect the big tent.

"Is what the general said true?" After returning from the palace, Lai Hu'er summoned the remaining generals of the Emperor to the big tent and told him what he knew, while Zhou Faxing, the old lieutenant, remained in his army.

"Yes, the Yuwen family's rebellious intentions are quite obvious, and they have the vast majority of military power, it is absolutely impossible for us to fight with them, so our purpose is not to stop them, but to be able to rescue Your Majesty smoothly when they rebel!" Lai Hu'er said to these old subordinates, these are the old subordinates who have followed him for many years, loyalty is not said, at that time, Yu Wenhua and Yang Guang's order to ask for military power, Lai Hu'er refused to hand over the people and horses he brought out, but the remaining more than 150,000 people can only give up, but if they don't let it, maybe the grain and grass will be detained.

"General, since the Yuwen family is powerful, why don't we seek an alliance with the ministers of the DPRK and China?" A subordinate asked, with the help of the ministers of the DPRK and China, they will definitely be able to suppress the arrogance of the Yuwen family, maybe the Yuwen family will not have a chance to rebel, of course, this is all the subordinate's idea.

"Confused! If the courtiers can stop the Yuwen family's rebellion, is the Yuwen family still so arrogant now? What's more, if you have a heavy army and are in charge of Jiangdu affairs, if someone comes out to accuse you of rebellion, will you remove this roadblock? So don't expect the courtiers to be of any help, you must know that they can't even see His Majesty's face, without the rights given by His Majesty, and without military power in their hands, they themselves can't be protected, and who else is willing to risk jumping out? Lai Hu'er looks like he hates iron but not steel, but he is relieved to think about it, and he doesn't expect these big bosses to understand these political tones, otherwise he will have a headache.

"General, since the courtiers can't help us, why don't we ask for help from others?" At this time, Zhou Faxing finally spoke again after some thought.

"Others? Who else? Could it be that it was ......" Lai Hu'er didn't react at once when he heard that he was going to use forces other than the courtiers, but then he thought about it, he couldn't borrow the power inside the city, couldn't he borrow the power outside? It's just a matter of who you want to borrow and who you can borrow.

"Yes, Yang Yichen led 100,000 troops to confront Liu Yuanjin in Jiangnan, if he can help, then we will have some more chips in our hands, but I just don't know if he is willing to wade into this troubled water. Of course, there is another person besides him, has the general forgotten? Although this person is not near Jiangdu, it is not far away. Zhou Faxing said and pointed to the north with his finger. When Lai Hu'er saw this gesture, his eyes suddenly lit up, because he knew who Zhou Faxing was referring to, and maybe only he could have the power to return to the sky, and this person was Yang Jun, the king of Qi in Licheng, north of Jiangdu!
