Chapter 356: The Great Han Crisis (3)
As one of the four major sects in the world, the Sword God Sect has ears, eyes and news networks in all states of the Han Empire, and the sensitivity of the news is not comparable to ordinary forces, and Liu Guiyuan, as an elder who can participate in all the confidential and important matters of the Sword God Sect, must know the news collected and confirmed by the Sword God Sect.
This is also the reason why Yan Liqiang worked hard to overcome various crises and difficulties along the way and strive to return to the Sword God Sect, because only by returning to the Sword God Sect can he have a more accurate and objective understanding of the situation of the Han Empire after the catastrophe, otherwise, in such an era when there are no newspapers, the center of the Han Empire is paralyzed, as an ordinary person, it is completely like a leaf that has been swept into the torrent, and it is impossible to grasp the trend of the general trend of the world, and this is very important to Yan Liqiang, because all this in the Heavenly Dao God Realm has not happened in realityHe still has plenty of time to make changes and prepare.
The two of them walked out of the cave where all kinds of dendrobium were planted, and Yan Liqiang couldn't help but open his mouth, "Master, what is the current situation of the Han Empire? I heard on the road that the Fengyun army was defeated, and the million-strong army full of people has entered the territory of the Han Empire, and is sweeping through several states in the northeast, killing people everywhere and slaughtering cities, making people panic, I don't know if it's true?"
Liu Guiyuan's brows were deeply locked, and his tone was solemn, "The Fengyun Army has indeed been defeated, and now the situation in the northeastern states of the Han Empire has been completely eroded, and the legions of the people are burning and looting in the northeast, the situation is very serious, just three days ago, the Sword God Sect received news that the army of the people of the Brake Manchu had broken through the state city of Jinzhou and was slaughtering the city in blood, and the more than 500,000 soldiers and civilians who survived in the entire city were bleeding like a river of blood, like purgatory on earth, no matter men, women and children, no one was spared......"
Just now, there were snowflakes floating outside the cave again, and the cold snowflakes fell on Yan Liqiang's face with the cold wind......
In the past 100 years, with the rise of the Shaman Empire, the Fengyun Army has been rooted in the Northeast, is a sword and iron shield of the Han Empire to deal with the Shaman Empire, in this nearly 100 years, the Fengyun Army and the Shaman Empire have fought countless small wars, and have never let the Shaman people take any advantage, the entire Northeast Frontier has been operated by the Fengyun Army like an iron wall, no one thought that the Fengyun Army, which had confronted the Shaman Empire for nearly a hundred years, would suddenly be defeated, so that the army of the Shaman people invaded the territory of the Han Empire.
"How can this be, the Fengyun Army has been fighting with the Shaman people for a hundred years, how can the Fengyun Army be defeated all of a sudden, even if the imperial capital encounters a catastrophe, it will not make the Fengyun Army thousands of miles away have no resistance when facing the Shaman people, right?" Yan Liqiang asked with some excitement.
"There are two important reasons why the Fengyun Army was defeated, one is the commander of the Fengyun Army, Long Feicheng, the head of the Long family, and several important figures of the Fengyun Army were not in the army at all before the Shaman army came, and the entire Fengyun Army was leaderless, and no one was the opponent of the commander of the Shaman people, Ge Li, and all of a sudden it was chaotic, and the fighting spirit of the whole army was lost!"
"Why wasn't Long Feicheng in the Fengyun Army at that time?"
"The news that the Sword God Sect received was that when the Heavenly Tribulation occurred in the Imperial Capital, several backbones of Long Feicheng and the Fengyun Army were in the Imperial Capital City, and when the Heavenly Tribulation occurred, Long Feicheng had all been killed, and this news later spread to the Fengyun Army, and the morale of the entire Fengyun Army was hit hard all of a sudden!"
"Ah!" Yan Liqiang was dumbfounded, "Long Feicheng and the backbone of the Fengyun Army were in the Imperial Capital City that day, how could it be so coincidental?"
"The news from the Fengyun Army said that Long Feicheng came to the imperial capital because the Ministry of War and the Anbei Governor's Mansion withheld the supply and salary of the Fengyun Army, so that the Fengyun Army could not pay the military salary for half a year, and the ordnance supply was also seriously lagging behind, and Shi Tao, the Anbei General of the Anbei Governor's Office, also wrote to the imperial court to impeach Long Feicheng for being tyrannical and listed the seventeen major sins of the Fengyun Army, saying that he had a heart of separation, and the people of the Chaman secretly communicated with each other, Prime Minister Lin Qingtian was furious, and ordered Long Feicheng to come to the Emperor to report on his work, because of these reasons, Long Feicheng had to come to the Imperial Capital, but he did not expect that when he was in the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital had a catastrophe, and Long Feicheng and the Fengyun Army were the backbone, all of them were killed in the enemy......" Liu Guiyuan let out a long sigh......
Listening to such news, Yan Liqiang was in a daze while walking, and after an interval of more than ten seconds, he swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty, "What is the second reason for the defeat of the Fengyun Army?"
"Anbei general Shi Tao has already taken refuge in the Chaman, before the Chaman army came, Shi Tao in the name of preventing the Fengyun army from making chaos and separating, ordered the Fengyun army to burn the three army hoarding warehouses in Haicheng County, Ningyuan County, Changtu County in the northeast, cut off the military supplies of the Fengyun army, and occupied Liaoyuan Pass, cut off the back road of the Fengyun army, it is in this kind of belly and back to the enemy, and lose the commander, the Fengyun army was defeated in the attack of the army of the Manchurians, so that the army of the Manchurians was able to enter the territory of the Han Empire......"
didn't expect such a thing to happen at the moment of his life, Yan Liqiang heard it, and he was almost angry.
"Then why do you say that the Anbei general Shi Tao has already taken refuge in the Shamanren?"
"Anbei general Shi Tao was sitting in the rear of Jeju in the northeast at that time, after burning down several military warehouses of the Fengyun Army, Shi Tao then summoned important officials at all levels in Jeju with military orders, and then poisoned a large number of officials, and controlled the entire Jeju, and when the vanguard of the Shamans just arrived, Shi Tao took the initiative to open the city gate and took refuge in the Shamans, and has now been appointed as the governor of the Northeast by the Shamans......"
Yan Liqiang gritted his teeth, and his fists couldn't help but squeak, "Such a traitor should be killed, it should be killed, but how could the imperial court appoint such a traitor and a miscellaneous person as General Anbei?"
"Lin Qingtian's original intention of setting up the Anbei Governor's Mansion was originally to control the Fengyun Army in the Northeast and prevent the Fengyun Army from growing in the Northeast, and the reason why Shi Tao became the General of Anbei was also recommended by Lin Qingtian!"
"Ah, it's this Lin Qingtian again......" Yan Liqiang didn't know what to say anymore, "This Lin Qingtian is simply harmful, fortunately, he is also in the ashes of the Imperial Capital City, it can be regarded as a burial for Long Feicheng, this is simply cheaper for him......" Yan Liqiang just finished speaking, and saw Liu Guiyuan looking at him with a strange look, "What, am I not right?"
"Lin Qingtian is not dead,......," Liu Guiyuan said calmly.
"What!" Yan Liqiang was once again shocked by the news......
