Chapter 124: Danyang Restoration Army
The trip to Wuyun Mountain, many ministers of the former Danyang Dynasty are also as usual, seeing the former monarch, many people sigh that time is fleeting, there are still many people in Danyang who miss the old master, during his reign, the country and the people are safe, and now Jiang Bingkun's tyranny has completely disappointed the common people who have been resentful for a long time, and people are eager for the empire to usher in a new era.
On top of the magnificent Wuyun Mountain, overlooking the land of the Danyang Empire, everyone secretly vowed to re-establish a peaceful and stable country.
"If people are panicking today, our actions will inevitably be supported by many people, you are the crown prince of the previous dynasty, with you raising your arms, it is bound to be a big event, this time I have asked my people to secretly contact several resistance organizations within the empire that are worth wooing, I believe that if you come forward to lead everyone to carry out the action, they will also help", Shen Ye said.
"With General Lao Shen and your help, I believe that the Danyang Empire will prosper in the future," Jiang Yuheng said.
"In addition to these people within the empire, there are also some people worth wooing, such as some powerful big families, as well as your royal families who have been exiled to the border, they also have a lot of power in their hands, and with their support, our actions will definitely be much smoother," Li Jiye said.
"So which families within the empire are worthy of our trust?" Jiang Yuheng said.
"I've been in the DPRK for so many years, so I naturally know a little bit, and when the time comes, I will help you contact them, the time is not yet ripe, once our plan is leaked, I'm afraid it will be bad for us," Li Jiye said.
"It seems that we should deal with the matter of recruiting troops first, with the army, we have the capital to win them over, I believe that as long as our strength is strong enough, there will be many other forces willing to respond to our call," Jiang Yuheng said.
"This is the core of the empire, the imperial city of Danyang, and there are a lot of secrets circulating here every day, and if you want to be the first to be the enemy, someone here must carry out close surveillance," Shen Ye said.
"It's okay, I'll let my son sneak into the Danyang Imperial City, he has been an official for many years and has a lot of connections in the imperial court, and we are also much relieved to have him active in the Danyang Imperial City," Li Jiye said.
"In this case, will he be in danger when he enters the Imperial City alone, and once the Empire finds out his whereabouts, will it be unfavorable to him?" Jiang Yuheng worried.
"Don't worry, our family still has some power in the imperial city, and many people still have to give me a little thin noodles, with them to take care of me, my son will definitely be able to have some security," Li Jiye said.
"Next, we will go back to our respective posts first, start the underground mission, we will go back to Taoyuan County first to wait for the assistance of the sect, and when they raise enough materials, we will immediately meet with several other forces secretly to discuss the big matter," Jiang Yuheng said.
Within the Tianhua Sect, Dai Tiande received a letter from Jiang Yuheng, he knew Jiang Yuheng's plan of action, and now he also felt the hope of destroying the Danyang Empire, the offensive of the allies was unstoppable, and victory was a matter of time.
At this moment, Dai Tiande is full of hope and worry about Jiang Yuheng, this time it can be said that he is full of challenges, whether he can strategize in the treacherous situation will have a huge impact on his future, if Jiang Yuheng chooses to become the monarch of the Danyang Empire in the future, where will their Tianhua Sect go, all this is full of variables.
Dai Tiande still ordered the other peak masters to raise materials with all their might, and insisted on assisting Jiang Yuheng in this operation, now the Moon Worship Sect has been holding back, which has caused a huge deterrent to him, he is always worried that the Moon Worship Sect will suddenly launch an attack, and he believes that the Moon Worship Sect's forbearance must be carrying out some huge conspiracy.
After Dai Tiande ordered many things, he and Xie Tianxing retreated one after another, their strength has now reached a critical moment, once they break through to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, this is very important to the safety of the sect.
Soon, an elder of the Tianhua Sect secretly infiltrated the Danyang Empire, came to the Xiantaowu where they were stationed, and found Jiang Yuheng.
"Jiang Yuheng has seen the elders", Jiang Yuheng saluted the elders who came.
"Your letter to the sect leader has already known, he has begun to prepare materials in an all-round way, I have sent you a large number of coins this time, these should be enough for you to start the task in the early stage, and the follow-up is still preparing", the elder handed over a Na Ling to Jiang Yuheng.
"Master, is the old man okay?" Jiang Yuheng asked.
"Now that the Moon Worship Sect is holding back, the head of the sect has always been very worried, he is now in retreat with several senior brothers, impacting the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he just told you to be careful, not to lose your mind because of revenge," the elder said.
"Jiang Yuheng understands that Elder Lao is tired from running around," Jiang Yuheng said.
"Now that the disciples have come out to carry out their tasks, the sect is empty, and I don't dare to stay for a long time again, you must take care of yourself, I will take the first step", the elder rushed back to the Tianhua Sect after speaking.
Jiang Yuheng got a large amount of money prepared by the sect, which will be able to support their early action plan, Shi Xuan and the others are also going out early and returning late every day, busy, Shen Ye and Li Jiye are a few old ministers, they are running for the matter of recruiting troops and horses every day.
Their actions have begun to show results, the empire has been grudging for a long time, many ordinary people have complained a lot about them, Jiang Yuheng's appearance undoubtedly reminded them of the prosperous era of the year, and soon Shen Ye united several old departments to secretly recruit troops everywhere in the Danyang Empire, and now it has a certain scale.
There is still some distance from recruiting troops to fighting on the battlefield, new recruits need to be trained, it will take time to form combat effectiveness, and they now want to deal with the threat of the empire, and they also need mature combat effectiveness guarantees.
Several rebel armies within the empire have been brutally suppressed by the empire in the past two years, they are leaderless, and it is difficult to resist the empire's army on their own, this time they received a letter from General Shen Ye, explaining the preparation of the former crown prince to restore the country, and inviting them to secretly come to participate in the crusade.
In the past few years, it has been difficult for them to appear in the vicinity of the big cities of the empire, and they can only rely on the precipitous mountains to station, lack income and supplies, and are crushed by the empire, and they are running around like rogues.
Jiang Yuheng's arrival undoubtedly gave them hope, and the leaders of several rebel armies arrived at Xiantaowu one after another to assemble secretly.
Finally, under the auspices of Li Jiye and Shen Ye, several forces launched secret talks.
In the secret room, several rebel army commanders met, and they had been working separately for different interests for many years, and their final fate was to be broken by the empire one by one.
Several leaders were nervously waiting to meet the former crown prince, "General Shen, you won't deliberately make up a lie to deceive us this time in order to gather a few of us, right?" someone questioned.
"I heard that the former crown prince has long since lost his bones, you won't find an imposter to fool us, will you?"
"Few, the old man is not the kind of idle and boring person, this time I will definitely convince you to come, I will be able to meet him later, I hope you will come with sincerity, otherwise such an alliance will only make us waste our efforts", Shen Ye said.
After a while, Li Jiye took Jiang Yuheng and Shi Xuan into the secret room, these commanders were stunned when they saw Jiang Yuheng's face, they could be regarded as having seen his father's face back then, and Jiang Yuheng in front of them did look very similar.
"He looks a lot like the monarch of the previous dynasty, but his looks alone don't mean anything?" someone said.
Jiang Yuheng took out his father's last letter and family token, and showed the family mark on his background, these people finally believed that he was the former prince of the dynasty who fell back then.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I made a mistake in my words before, please forgive me after all, such a thing is a matter of life and death, and we must be cautious again and again", several people apologized.
"It's okay, now the situation is urgent, and it is also appropriate to be cautious, I know that several generals have led the rebel army and the empire to fight for many years, but the disparity between the forces of the two sides is huge, and now they are facing a huge crisis, so they can only hide in the mountains and wait for the opportunity, and now I have come here to bring you a chance to overthrow the empire and rebuild your homeland," Jiang Yuheng said.
"In this world, there has never been a pie in the sky, and you want to use our power to attack the empire, so why?" someone asked.
"Presumptuous, you dare to talk to the prince like this?" Shen Yezhan came over and reprimanded.
"Well said, there is no such thing as pie in the world, I invite you to come today, naturally you have the capital, the identity of a prince is enough to make our team famous, and we will inevitably win the support of the common people, and we are not empty gloves white wolves now, we have recruited tens of thousands of troops, and the four empires have formed a solid same door, as long as we cooperate inside and outside, there is no problem in overthrowing the tyranny of the empire, we now have enough strength" , Jiang Yuheng stopped Shen Ye and walked in front of the person who questioned him quite confidently.
"I didn't expect that the prince has now reached the strength of the Spirit Realm, he is really talented and courageous", at this time, a commander next to him naturally saw Jiang Yuheng's strength.
"Yes, we invite you to come, in addition to his identity as the crown prince, the rest is naturally strength, we now have a huge civilian base, we have recruited a large number of soldiers, and we have the money and food support of other forces, this is our capital, if you are willing to accept our leadership, in the future, Your Majesty will definitely be rewarded according to your merits, and the future will be no problem for the feudal marquis", Li Jiye assured.
"We want to see the best soldiers you have recruited, or I will not be at risk of putting the lives of my brothers on you," someone said.
"Since we sincerely invite you, we will naturally let you see our strength, but I also hope that the commanders will come to form an alliance with true sincerity, otherwise if someone betrays halfway in the future, this will be the result for him", Jiang Yuheng smashed the stone gate next to him with a punch.
Several commanders were suppressed by his strong skills and domineering, "That's certain, as the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is strong enough, we are willing to follow, and we will never regret conspiring to do great things, if you violate this oath, it will be like this broken stone gate", there is an example of the commander.
"Very good, tomorrow you go with me to the mountains, I will let you see my army, so that you can rest assured, as long as you are loyal in the future, I will not forget your merits, and in the future, according to everyone's merits, I will be crowned marquis", Jiang Yuheng said.
"Now that we have reached a preliminary consensus at this meeting, we also invite a few people to go with us tomorrow to review the three armies, and from then on officially set up the banner of the rebel army, the whole country will definitely respond to our call to crusade against Jiang Bingkun's tyranny," Shen Ye said.
Although there are some twists and turns in this alliance, it is also expected, it is indeed difficult to convince these people with the identity of a prince alone in this world, and only strong strength is the best guarantee.
The next day, Jiang Yuheng and the others secretly entered the base in the deep mountains with many commanders and ministers early in the morning, at this time Shen Ye's generals were training recruits, these soldiers were like rainbows, and the number of them was indeed far greater than each of their commanders.
"Commanders, take a look, how are these soldiers I recruited, but they are still eye-catching?" Jiang Yuheng led them to carry out a review, and the magnificent army deeply shocked several commanders.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, yesterday I was open-mouthed, and I beg your Majesty's forgiveness, I am willing to lead my subordinates to swear allegiance to the death", the commander who questioned Jiang Yuheng yesterday lowered his head at this moment.
"In this world, I am only a newcomer and a strong person, your opinion is not wrong, the reason why I have the confidence to recruit a few of your teams is based on strength, our army is combined with the soldiers of the four empires, once the inside and outside are united, why should Jiang Bingkun fight with us?" Jiang Yuheng has a little more dignity of an emperor.
Li Jiye and Shen Ye also saw the majesty of the former emperor from him, but what made them sigh was that Jiang Yuheng had no intention of inheriting the unification.
"Now that we have reached an agreement, we will continue to recruit troops in the garrison positions in secret, and wait for the call of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as His Highness gives the order, we will not give up," said the commander.
"The power of the empire is still huge, we can't resist it alone, the other three fronts are still fighting urgently, we need the allies to arrive at the border and prepare to unite them to open the gate of the empire and overthrow the rule of the empire together, during this period, you recruit troops, train soldiers, and gradually march towards the Shadow Moon Fortress, this will be our first front", Jiang Yuheng said.
"It's all up to His Royal Highness the Prince," the commanders said.
After receiving their reply, Jiang Yuheng and the others were also sure that only by holding the army in their hands could they have the capital to negotiate with these people.
Shi Xuan and they carry out secret operations in the Danyang Empire every day, it is not easy to form a new army, especially within the rule of the empire, they must be careful in every step, and the empire will detect the clues, and it will inevitably be surrounded and suppressed.
Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo traveled to various counties and counties, reached those areas where the empire was weak, helped those villagers, and then won favor, successfully recruited a lot of people, and strongly supported Jiang Yuheng's actions.
In the imperial city, Jiang Bingkun at this moment is about to be unable to sit still, his three-way army has lost the support of the Blood Ring Sect and the Sea Shark Palace, their battle line is about to collapse completely, the three-way army is like a rainbow, and gradually recovering many cities that have been hard to occupy, and now they can only give it up, and the crisis has spread all over the country.
Jiang Yuheng and many rebel armies have huge actions, naturally it is impossible to hide from the eyes of the empire, Jiang Bingkun has already noticed that several rebel armies that were originally hiding in the mountains are active again, which makes the empire panic again, internal and external troubles, and variables.
The generalissimo in the imperial court advocated that the emperor send soldiers to suppress the rebel army in the country again, but at this moment Jiang Bingkun has lost confidence, he almost used most of his troops to support the battle on the front line, and now his central garrison army is not much left, once it continues to be depleted, his imperial power may face challenges.
He decided to mobilize heavy troops to retreat and hold on to major cities, which caused many small cities to gradually become empty, giving Jiang Yuheng room for their activities.
"Senior brother, I heard that the empire has shrunk its forces again, they have detected signs of our rebel army's activities, but they have not come to suppress it, it seems that the empire has come to an end, and he has no more troops to strangle us", Shi Xuan has detected a lot of information in his activities everywhere in the past few days.
"It's okay, in this way, it is more convenient for us to recruit soldiers, it seems that Senior Brother Lin's attack has gone smoothly and their troops have been stretched, we have to work hard, you have worked hard these days", Jiang Yuheng said.
"We have all come here for a noble goal, I believe that in the future, Senior Brother will be able to build a peaceful and stable country and end this bloody strife, you are the future of the sect, and the Tianhua Sect still needs you to lead us against the threat of the Moon Worship Sect," Shi Xuan said.
"Actually, you don't need to be humble, even if the sect doesn't have me Jiang Yuheng, there are talented disciples like you, why worry about the sect not being prosperous, among so many of our disciples, I am most optimistic about you, I see in you some traits that many other disciples do not have, even Senior Brother Lin and I do not have them, your future achievements will not be worse than any of us, maybe one day in the future, the small Tianhua Sect will not be able to restrain your steps", Jiang Yuheng said solemnly.
"Senior brother, Tianhua Sect is my second home, and I am willing to pay my life's work to protect it for it," Shi Xuan said.
Deep in the mountains, Shen Ye and others were actively training the new army, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo and others continued to walk around the empire to recruit talents, and Li Jiye and others were running around the country to attract some big families to support their actions.
Inside the empire, Li Jiye's son ran around in the imperial city, inquiring about the intelligence of the empire, and providing guarantees for their actions at any time, outside the Danyang Empire, the four empires also continued to exert military pressure, and the Danyang Empire was still facing a huge crisis, but at this moment, Jiang Bingkun did not succumb to this, he still ordered the soldiers to guard the border and continue to carry out senseless struggles.
According to the agreement reached with Jiang Yuheng, the commanders of many rebel armies were already approaching the Shadow Moon Fortress, and once the time was ripe, the armies of both sides would immediately attack.
Within the Shadow Moon fiefdom, Gui Yunhai also got some news, he heard that some rebel armies in the country had secretly launched operations, a huge storm was brewing, and now his fiefdom was seasoned, and countless imperial armies were nervously fighting against Zhao Yu, and the situation was precarious.
At the same time, his Shadow Moon army is also preparing in the deep mountains, and his movements can even affect the overall situation, "General, at this moment, I heard that several rebel armies in the country have secretly launched a negotiation, they seem to have reached a consensus, and now they have joined forces, it seems that there will be a big move next, do we also have to prepare?" Zhang Tiancheng said.
"Do you know who is leading the way for them, these forces have always gone their own way, who made them form an alliance?" Gui Yunhai asked.
"It seems to be Shen Ye, the famous general of the previous dynasty?" Zhang Tiancheng said.
"Shen Ye, since he was removed from his position by Jiang Bingkun, he has not been in charge of the army for more than ten years, how can he come forward to reconcile with these people to form an alliance?" Gui Yunhai was puzzled.
"You forgot, Shen Ye was Jiang Bingqian's confidant back then, and he was highly used for many years, but unfortunately he couldn't be used by Jiang Bingkun so he was ostracized, and now that the empire is dying, they seem to see hope, so he stepped forward to prevent these people from forming an alliance", Zhang Tiancheng guessed.
"It's ridiculous, just with their group, the rabble also wants to shake Jiang Bingkun's army?" Gui Yunhai said.
"Now that your fiefdom is facing the threat of the Tianyang army, if they succeed in breaking through the pass, wouldn't we be very dangerous, and you should have made plans earlier?" Zhang Tiancheng said.
"Now is not the time for our army to be dispatched, whether it is to respond to the empire to deal with Tianyang, or to respond to them to deal with the empire, it will cause a huge loss to our strength, we must not strike first, we should calm down and be the last hunter", Gui Yunhai still did not move, he was still waiting for the opportunity.
"The empire is now unable to strangle the uprising at home, and I have heard that they have withdrawn many scattered forces and stationed them in many large cities, which is clearly the end of the crossbow, and when the other three fronts are approaching the border, we will have to make a choice," Zhang Tiancheng said.
"Even if we want to deal with Jiang Bingkun, we will never be the first bird, wait for these rebels to play with them first, we will wait for the opportunity to act, maybe there will be a greater harvest," Gui Yunhai said.
"In the future, I will send competent people to run around and continue to investigate the movements of other forces, and you must also make decisions early to avoid missing the opportunity," Zhang Tiancheng said.
"I have my own decision, you go and get busy", Gui Yunhai is still calculating the future.
At this moment, the leaders of the rebel army had already led their troops to secretly come to the mountains around the Shadow Moon Fortress and station, waiting for the arrival of Jiang Yuheng's army at any time.
At this time, almost every force is waiting for the next change in the battle situation, and the actions of the three-way army have become particularly important, as long as they are approaching the border, it is the time for the four empires to launch a full-scale attack, Jiang Yuheng is preparing for the preparation of the army and division, and is also anxiously waiting for the time to come.
