Ye Yunyang left the dormitory, and the crown prince Liu Rong came over as soon as possible and asked, "How was the discussion?"

He shook his head: "I didn't get more information, she was very strict, emphasizing that she just came to send us news, and she didn't plan to get involved in the fight against the demons." ”

He didn't get the final answer, and the woman surnamed Mei didn't answer his last question at all.

"What do you mean?" the prince was stunned.

"Meaning, she and the Protoss won't help, and we'll have to get through it on our own. Ye Yunyang shrugged and said.

The prince smiled bitterly: "So that's the case, tell us the news, but refuse to help, let us suffer from the poison of the beast clan?"

"I don't think she's capable of helping us, and instead of giving us hope and not being able to achieve it in the end, it's better to sit on the sidelines, and in the end, no matter what the outcome is, she doesn't need to be responsible. He analyzed.

The crown prince frowned, sighed, and said, "It seems that we really rely on ourselves! By the way, just now my father sent someone over and said that we should go on a trip." ”

"Okay, let's go!"

In the imperial study, white smoke billows from the huge incense burner.

Without waiting for the two of them to salute, Emperor Liu Qi pointed to a letter on the case of the dragon book and said: "Yun Yang, this is a joint letter from your father and Di Zhiming, the general of the Northern Affairs Customs, asking for help, saying that the strength of the Qin army has reached nine million, and it is still increasing its troops, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable. ”

Ye Yunyang nodded and said: "This is indeed the case, since Shi Zi asked Emperor Qin to issue a national conscription order, the total strength of the Qin army has successfully exceeded the 10 million mark, and the main army has all received the order to be transferred to Beiwu City, leaving the newly recruited recruits to be responsible for the domestic city defense tasks, I think it won't be long before these recruits will also go to the battlefield." ”

The crown prince echoed: "That's right, the intelligence says that the Qin people are seizing the time to train recruits, clamoring that after the main army breaks through the Beiwu Pass, all the recruits will rush into the territory of the Han Dynasty with the large army and take our imperial capital directly." ”

Liu Qi snorted coldly: "Winning Luobin is daydreaming! Daqin has been fighting with the Han Dynasty for so many years, and they have only managed to defend the city without losing it, and they are trembling and trembling, for fear that one day they will be destroyed by us." Now that you have the support of the orcs, you have become so bold all of a sudden, do you really think you are invincible?"

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although the Qin people are a little arrogant, but with the help of the orcs, they do have arrogant capital, we still have to be careful." Your Majesty, the ratio of enemy and enemy forces in Beiwu City has reached three to one, although we have tall walls and strong defense facilities, but in the face of several times the enemy, it is indeed difficult to ensure that the pass is not lost, I hope you will send reinforcements as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on the defenders and improve morale. ”

Liu Qi showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and said: "I also know that it is not easy for your father and General Di, but the situation in the country is also very serious, and rebellions continue to emerge in various places, and it is necessary to prevent and encircle and suppress demon beasts and orcs, and to pacify the restoration of the princes and kings, so I really can't draw extra troops." ”

The crown prince Liu Rong nodded and said: "What the father said is the truth, if it weren't for the Ghost Face Legion to help defend Beiwu City, the strength of the defenders would not reach three million at all, and it would be good to have more than one million." ”

The emperor smiled bitterly: "Yes, the promise I gave was to ensure the safety of the Ghost Face Legion, but now I have to rely on them to help the Han defend the city, which is really unreasonable." ”

Ye Yunyang frowned, he was sure that the father and son were not lying, they had focused on the orcs and demon beasts these days, and had never asked about domestic affairs, it seemed that the princes and kings were about to fall out.

"How many troops are there in charge of suppressing the restoration of the princes and kings?" he asked in a deep voice.

Emperor Liu Qi turned his head to look at the crown prince, who thought for a moment and replied: "There are nearly three million, which sounds like a lot of money, but in fact it is also in a stretched situation. There are a total of twenty-eight vassal states, and the upper seven kingdoms all have hundreds of thousands of soldiers before cutting the feudal domains, and they are not willing to be carved up of their original privileges, taking advantage of the country's internal and external troubles, gathering the old troops before to rebel, although most of them are a group of rabble, but it is also quite troublesome to deal with. ”

Fortunately, only a dozen vassal states rebelled, but even so, it brought the Han Empire to the point of being in a state of exhaustion. If it weren't for the fact that the Qin army was pressing the border, the emperor would definitely have sent defenders back from the border pass to participate in the counterinsurgency operations at home.

It is already a great thing to be able to do it without sending the defenders, and to send hundreds of thousands of people to assist in defending the city.

"I will come forward to deal with the rebels, and promise to see results within three days, and then ask Your Majesty to order 1.2 million people to go to Beiwu City. He looked up and said.

Liu Qi frowned: "Yun Yang, how do you solve the rebellion?" I want to remind you that some methods cannot be used, even if you can kill the first evildoer, it may not have the desired effect. ”

It is not difficult to kill the rebels, but the difficulty is that at the beginning of the establishment of the empire, in order to achieve the goal of quickly stabilizing the situation, the emperors assigned all aspects of pressure to the vassal states, and only then did the Han Empire, which flourished later. Let the family contribute, naturally it is necessary to give a return, and several generations of emperors have given clear regulations, requiring later emperors to treat the princes and monarchs well.

The so-called kindness mainly refers to the fact that the princes and kings and their children cannot be easily convicted, even if they commit the heinous crimes, they must be punished according to the laws of the Han Dynasty, and they cannot be convicted privately, let alone punished in any form before the other party admits their guilt.

You can't even punish it, let alone kill people directly.

If there was no ancestral system, Emperor Liu Qi would have ordered the death of those who betrayed, instead of knowing that some people were going to rebel, but he could only send troops to guard them, and after they openly rebelled, they would attack them, defeat them and hand them over to the criminal department, and then punish them with capital punishment after they confessed.

It is precisely because of this ancestral system that the princes and kings will rebel unscrupulously.

They knew very well that the Great Han wanted to concentrate on dealing with the orcs and Great Qin, and they had no spare time to take care of them, such a good opportunity, when would they not wait for this time?

Regarding Liu Qi's worries, Ye Yunyang didn't care at all, and said: "As the emperor and the crown prince, the two naturally have to respect the rules set by their ancestors, but I am different, I kill the restored princes and kings as an individual, as long as they die, not only can they deter other people who have this idea, but also can send troops to reinforce Beiwu City in time, why not?"

The emperor's brows were twisted into pimples, and the prince whispered: "Father, the sons and daughters feel that what Yun Yang said is reasonable, the old saying is that troubled times need to be restricted, and the forbearance we make with a benevolent heart will not only not get half of the feelings of the rebels, but will make them feel that the court is incompetent, and there is nothing to do with them, they will become even worse." ”

"Makes sense. The emperor nodded, his expression became resolute, and said, "Leave this matter to Yun Yang, I believe that you are a measured person and can handle it well." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled indifferently: "The minister will live up to your trust." ”

The so-called proportion, of course, he can handle it well, in fact, it is very simple, he only needs to follow one principle: anyone who dares to rebel and participate in the rebellion, no one will be spared.

With the emperor's approval, he quickly organized a group of masters, the main team of which was composed of disciples of the Fenglin Sect's Yaokong Realm and Golden Body Realm, equipped with twelve medium-sized flying wings, plus twelve individual flying wings.

Wu Qinglin originally wanted to participate, because there were many affairs after the expansion of the sect, so he could only hand over the task of leading the team to his apprentice Zheng Zhiyuan.

Ye Yunyang walked into the Flying Wing Bureau, and Zheng Zhiyuan greeted him and said, "Little Uncle, they are all ready, there are six National Teachers with the title of Title, thirty National Teachers of the Golden Body Realm, plus twenty-four disciples of the Tongyuan Realm, and their task is to pilot the Flying Wings." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go." ”

With such a lineup, it is enough to destroy the master group of a vassal country, let alone the rabble gathered by the princes and kings.

Zheng Zhiyuan asked, "What is our destination?"

"Zheng Guo. Ye Yunyang gave the answer.

"Zheng Guo?" Zheng Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, and said with some concern: "Zheng Guo used to be the number one vassal state in the Upper Seven Kingdoms, and its strength was not below the vassal state, after all, it was our first time to act, is it appropriate to choose such a powerful opponent?"

What he means is that everything is difficult at the beginning, and if you want to have a good result, you must have a good start, and you must choose a slightly weaker opponent to be more sure, win the first battle first, which is used to boost morale, and then choose a stronger opponent.

Ye Yunyang shook his head: "Since it is to kill the chicken to show the monkey, of course you have to choose the strongest chicken, Zheng Guo has many masters, but they must not have imagined that we would attack suddenly, and without any preparation, the other party will definitely be defeated." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded, he would never doubt Uncle Xiao's opinion.

"Let's go!"

Twenty-four flying wings rose into the air one after another, flying towards Zheng Guo.

As the once ranked first vassal state, Zheng Guo's strength should not be underestimated, in terms of comprehensive national strength, the twenty Dongping States may not be able to compare with it, and in terms of master reserves, it is even more than several feudal states.

Under the overwhelming trend of the Tui En Order, the Zheng royal family had to choose to compromise, because at that time, in addition to the 500,000 troops directly under the empire, there were also two vassal states of Qi and Zhao on the side, and there was a great tendency to destroy you if you did not agree to cut the domain.

The huge Zheng State was divided into more than 100 small vassal states, and its strength was carved up, and King Zheng was no longer in glory.

Originally, he felt that there was no chance to turn over in this life, and he was likely to live his whole life, but just over a year later, the leakage of demonic qi occurred, and then demon beasts and orcs appeared, which caused chaos in the Han Dynasty.

He felt that the opportunity had come, and with the "encouragement" of several other princes and kings to restore them, he decided to take a risk.

First of all, he summoned the old troops, and when the strength accumulated to a certain extent, he suddenly ordered the recovery of the land, army and wealth that had been divided before, and those who dared to disobey his orders would be killed.

Under this high-pressure policy, in order to save their lives, those royal clansmen who were divided could only return everything to King Zheng, and in just a few days, King Zheng recovered more than 60% of his territory, plus about half of the army, and the restoration was declared successful.

Emperor Liu Qi reacted quickly and sent an army of 300,000 to ask King Zheng to abandon his rebellion and take the initiative to confess his guilt to the emperor and his subjects, otherwise there was only a dead end.

King Zheng was not afraid at all, because he had an army of 500,000 in his hands, plus several masters.

At this time, the sound of singing and dancing was echoing in the palace of King Zheng, and King Zheng sat on the dragon chair with a smile on his face, watching the Miaoman's posture of the dancing girls, while accepting the congratulations of the ministers, and his heart blossomed.

Until the roar of flying wings came from the sky, he shouted a little angrily: "Who, so ignorant of the rules, ruining the good mood of this king! Isn't it the reconnaissance team sent by the Great Han, we also have flying wings, and we will immediately take to the air to drive each other away!"
