The uprising of the revolutionary army belongs to the internal contradictions of the empire, but the nature of the attack of the Western foreign nation is different, this is a foreign invasion, and the revolutionary army colludes with the Western foreign nation to flank the empire, which is tantamount to betraying its own nation.

Not only that, the reason why the revolutionary army was able to receive military assistance from the Western alien nation was that the revolutionary army had promised the Western alien nation that as long as it defeated the empire, it would return the large western territory that the empire had occupied to the Western alien nation.

When he first saw this setting in the original book, Zhang Chai didn't have a good impression of the revolutionary army, and under the banner of the people, he used the cession of territory as a condition for foreign troops to send troops, what is the difference between this and luring wolves into the house?

Even if the revolutionary army is victorious and succeeds in building the so-called 'new empire', who can guarantee that all different peoples will not be eyeing the 'new empire' that is in ruins? After all, there has been a long-standing grudge between the imperial and the aliens, and this hatred that has been formed since ancient times cannot be resolved lightly because of the victory of the revolutionary army.

No matter how dark the empire was before, at least it had an absolute overwhelming advantage in military capabilities, and even when the empire was at its most decaying, it could suppress all foreign peoples to the point that they couldn't even lift their heads.

So, after the strict war and internal strife, does the 'new empire' still have the strength to guard against those foreign peoples who are ready to move? When the time comes, either the land will be ceded everywhere to pay reparations, or the history of the empire will be repeated to fight against foreign races, and the people's lives will not be improved, at least not for these two generations, it is better to carry out reforms directly from within the empire to avoid bloodshed and casualties.

Of course, this is only Zhang Chai's own opinion, as for what the revolutionary army thinks inside, it is none of his business, his task is very clear - to maintain the rule of the empire, and must not allow the revolutionary army and the Western alien nations to mess with each other like this.

In fact, last night he also thought that Bude might mutiny, and sent people to various checkpoints around the imperial capital to notify and strictly investigate, but he didn't expect the revolutionary army to act so quickly, and use Bude to take the most heavily defended Bishui Pass overnight.

However, he was not discouraged, after all, Bishui Pass is just a relatively important checkpoint, the strength of the emperor has not been lost much at all, and there are many capable people in the army, as long as the command is appropriate, it is not difficult to repel the revolutionary army.

And the Western alien nations, for the time being, let the Western Front army of the empire resist, after all, the revolutionary army is the most noteworthy rebel force.

"The two generals in the south rebelled, Bishui Pass fell, and the foreign peoples in the West also came in...... What the hell is going to do with this! ”

"I don't know...... Otherwise, send envoys over to negotiate peace with the revolutionary army, right? ”

"Peace? Will this work?! ”

"If peace is negotiated, what if these traitors taste the sweetness and then open their mouths? This path doesn't seem to work......"

"Oh, if it doesn't work, it has to work! Otherwise, what do you say? Protecting the safety of His Majesty is the most important thing at present, first protect the imperial capital and then slowly deal with them. ”

Seeing that the civil and military officials disagreed and quarreled, Zhang Chai stomped his feet heavily, and said in annoyance: "Shut up for me!" Before the enemy came, you were in such a mess! Why don't I give each of you a knife, wipe my neck and commit suicide, and show your loyalty by dying to serve the empire! ”

The officials were busy silencing, and at the same time casting hopeful eyes on Zhang Chai, all hoping that Zhang Chai, the newly appointed supreme commander of the emperor, would be able to solve the current crisis.

The little emperor said eagerly: "General ZZ! Do you have any good ideas? ”

Zhang Chai thought for a while and muttered: "The situation is not as bad as imagined, the first thing we have to do is to impose martial law in the whole city, block the news of the revolutionary army's uprising, so as not to discourage the people in the imperial capital, and then send people to bring the garrison troops stationed near the imperial capital, fortify along the way, slow down the march speed of the revolutionary army, and wait until the army of the king of Qin from all over the country gathers in the imperial capital, and then repel the revolutionary army in one fell swoop!" ”

"Uh...... General ZZ, aren't you ready to go out of the city to meet the attack? The little emperor said uneasily: "This gang of traitors has occupied all the Bishui Pass, how can those ordinary soldiers hold them back?" ”

Zhang Chai said coldly: "Your Majesty, with me sitting in the imperial capital, even if the revolutionary army really fights, you will be fine, but if I leave the imperial capital, the revolutionary army suddenly sends a team of killers to attack the imperial capital, then what should you do?" ”

Now there is no strong general like Bude in the palace to guard, once he goes out of the city to meet the revolutionary army, he just happens to fall into the revolutionary army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and when the time comes, NightRaid will take the opportunity to kill the palace, who can stop it? What's more, the current NightRaid is still at its peak, not only are all the staff there, but there are also more masters like Gu Xinyan, Liu Shu, and Luo Fan.

The little emperor palpitated and said, "I see, it's ......."

"Rest assured, as long as I'm still alive for one day, you'll be able to rule the empire for one more day."

After Zhang Chai finished speaking lightly, he took some talented military attaches to find Tazmi, Sailiu and others to jointly deploy the battle plan.

……

More than 30 kilometers south of the imperial capital.

In the midst of the continuous mountains and rivers, there stands a huge gate city towering in the sky, which is the thousand-year-old Xiongguan - Bishui Pass.

The tall walls are crisscrossed with gray rocks, and they are both thick and tight, like a huge fortress that is impregnable, and one cannot help but feel a deep sense of awe.

The imperial flag that was originally hung on the tower of Bishui Pass has been replaced with the flag of the revolutionary army.

At this moment, tens of thousands of soldiers of the revolutionary army in Bishui Pass lined up neatly, and the cheers shook the sky.

Najeta stood on the tower, clenched her fists and shouted, "Companions! We want to make the revolution a success! Build a new nation! Destroy the Bad Government! Build a country where people live and work in peace and contentment! Not far ahead is the root of evil - the imperial capital! Use the power of our hands to bury this evil empire full of sin and hatred! ”

"Whew!!" The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army were in high spirits, raising their weapons and each responding to Najeta's speech with hysterical roars.

"Hmph." A cold snort of disdain sounded from Najeta's side, it was Bud, he clasped his hands, and mocked: "The morale of these people is good, but the combat effectiveness is only the level of the low-level soldiers at best, which is much inferior to the guards under my command." ”

Najeta turned her head and frowned, "Everyone took the initiative to join the ranks of the revolutionary army with the courage to dare to revolution, although I admit that they have their own shortcomings, but each of them is very brave!" Don't underestimate this courage, it is this courage that has sustained us to this last step! ”

Bud lowered his eyes, didn't want to say more, and went back to his room alone.

At this time, a middle-aged general pushed the door in, he gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice: "General! Are you really going to betray the Empire? Bear to let us, the old subordinates, obey the orders of the rabble from the countryside outside? ”

Bang!

Bud slammed the table, closed his eyes, and said, "Lika, stop talking nonsense, or don't blame me for not thinking about the robe." ”

"General......" Lika looked disappointed and sighed: "In the past, on the battlefield, it was you who saved my Lika's life, Lika has already sworn allegiance to you alone, even if you defect to the revolutionary army, our old subordinates will never dare to disobey your orders, and will not have half a word of complaint against you." ”

After saying that, Lika unconsciously clenched his fists and prepared to leave.

At the moment when Lika turned around, Bude suddenly opened his eyes wide, and suddenly whispered, "Bear with me ...... again"

"Don't you ......" Lika's body shook and turned his head in surprise, but when he saw Bud pointing to the wall with an expressionless face, he hurriedly stopped his voice, bowed respectfully and said, "My subordinates understand......" (To be continued. )
