The King of the Prairie sent 200,000 troops, Queen Helen sent 300,000 troops, and at the same time pressed the border and entered the territory of the Holy Lion Empire, while the standing dragon also echoed in the south at the same time, leading 500,000 troops to march towards the imperial capital. [No pop-up novel network]

In addition, Song Li also constantly sent envoys with his own handwritten letters to various parts of the empire to lobby the feudal officials on the ruling side, and the reason used was also very simple and direct, the Holy Emperor can treat a prince like us like this, and he can deal with you in the future because of the same scruples.

At the same time, Song Xinghai was not idle, and he also sent out letter by letter, compared to Song Li's letter, the content he wrote was more sincere and moving.

At this time, Song Xinghai's previous accumulation of good popularity showed its power, basically the feudal officials who received the letters from Song Xinghai and Song Li's father and son did not refuse on the spot, but just said that they would think about it, and when some of them had a close relationship with Song Xinghai, or simply the officials promoted by him, publicly supported Song Li's move and sent the army in their hands to respond, the others couldn't sit still.

But anyone who is an official, especially those who have achieved a high position, will understand a truth, that is, the icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow.

Although the current situation is still not clear, at least it is not difficult to see that Song Xinghai and Song Li, father and son, do not have no chance of winning against the Holy Emperor. At this time, if they stand in line in advance and take refuge, then when the overall situation is decided, they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they will have the power to follow the dragon, and then they may be able to enter the center from the place at once.

For officials, there is nothing more attractive than this.

More importantly, everyone could see that no matter what the banner Song Li was waving, it was essentially to overthrow the rule of the Holy Emperor, and the next thing would inevitably be to replace it.

As the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, the Holy Emperor stepped down, Song Xinghai or Song Li would definitely appoint his own people, as for the previous ministers, they would probably have to stand aside, and the vacated positions were quite attractive.

With such an idea, many local officials began to respond one after another, sending troops if they had soldiers, sending people out if they didn't have soldiers, sending people to be people's husbands or something, if they didn't even have enough people, then they would pay for them. All in all, the local officials who wanted to go to the next level all stood on Song Li's side, in addition to swearing allegiance, but also playing the banner of crusading against the perverse Holy Emperor.

In addition to the response of local officials, even within the imperial capital, those ministers who originally had a good relationship with Song Xinghai and had always been in contact with each other also began to contact in private.

Of course, they will not publicly express their support for Song Xinghai and Song Li, overthrow the Holy Emperor or something, after all, they are still under the nose of the Holy Emperor now, unless their heads are caught by the door, otherwise if they do this, they are joking with their lives. The Holy Emperor's butcher's knife is no joke.

However, not being able to say does not mean that nothing can be done.

Song Xinghai's popularity is good, and there are not many ministers who are close to him, and he is unconsciously attributed to Song Xinghai's faction. The Holy Emperor has a number there, and he has recently suppressed these people openly and covertly.

Now that Song Li is in trouble, these people are even more untreated by the Holy Emperor. If you don't want to see them, the Holy Emperor can only marginalize them at most, but it is impossible to really wipe out the family, otherwise, there will be at least more than half of the people in the court.

These people have been snubbed and suppressed, of course they will not hate Song Xinghai, they will only record the resentment in their hearts on the head of the Holy Emperor, and when they get the opportunity at this time, of course they will make some small moves.

Don't look at them being marginalized, but in the end they are still above the court, and at the same time, their relatives and friends and even their protégés and former officials are not all marginalized, and some are even in charge of some key parts of the court.

So when they start to move, the impact is considerable.

As soon as he heard that Song Li had raised troops to clear the monarch's side and eliminate the traitors, the Holy Emperor not only sentenced him to rebellion, but also prepared to send troops to quell the rebellion.

However, if you want to fight, you can't do without money and food, and this is the reason why the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved. And at this time, the small actions of those officials began.

For example, a war involves a wide range of department personnel, and a small mistake in any link may affect the efficiency of the entire war preparation. These officials are not stupid enough to deliberately sabotage, but they have a way to delay the delays, and the things that should be done in a hurry can be done slowly, and if they can be done immediately, they will be delayed for another half a day.

Some of the excuses are, procedures, rules, the officials in charge are not there, there are all kinds of things, as long as you want to find it, there is nothing that you can't find.

In this way, this powerful and powerful war machine within the Holy Lion Empire is like some parts rusting or lacking lubricating oil at this time, and it has suddenly become much more inefficient, even if the Holy Emperor has made an order to send troops to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, but it has been delayed for five or six days before the things that should be prepared are ready.

As the saying goes, a soldier is fast.

But it was precisely because of this delay that the army on the Holy Emperor's side could not get up quickly. By the time the army was dispatched, Song Li's army had snowballed to 300,000.

And that's not counting the reinforcements sent by the King of the Prairie and Queen Helen. For this alone, Song Li's side took the lead, and at the same time, he also approached a place less than a thousand miles away from the emperor.

Although the army on the Holy Emperor's side was held back, it was not slow to move, and after setting off, it advanced at full speed, preparing to meet Song Li's army.

But at this time, trouble came again. Because there are constantly masked people running to harass, these people are not very numerous, and if they go head-to-head, there is no need to be afraid. But they didn't fight the army at all, either destroying the bridges, or waiting for the army to camp, sneaking in to kill people, set fires, and burn grain and grass.

In a word, whatever makes people uncomfortable, they do it.

The commander of the Holy Emperor's side is named Song Qiuming, and he can be regarded as an experienced veteran of the empire. Originally, he was not surnamed Song, but because of his repeated military exploits, the Holy Emperor gave him the surname of the country in order to commend him, and because of this, Song Qiuming was a die-hard loyalist of the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Emperor also trusted him quite a lot, and this time he handed over 200,000 elites to him and ordered him to quell the rebellion.

Although Song Qiuming led the troops bravely, he was calm but calm, and he was repeatedly harassed at the beginning, and he was really in a hurry. Several times he sent men and horses to pursue these masked men, but unfortunately although the number of the other party was small, his personal strength was not weak, and he was as slippery as a loach stained with oil, and his pairs of soldiers and horses sent to arrest people were tired enough, but none of them were caught, but they also lost a lot of sergeants.

In this way, Song Qiuming also realized that these people were not simple, so he also changed his strategy, since he couldn't catch them, he didn't catch them, and sent people to open the road in front during the day, open the road in the mountains and build bridges when encountering water, and at night he added more sentry posts, and the patrol intensity was greatly enhanced.

Under such strict guards, although the masked man still came to harass him, he could no longer cause him as much trouble as before.

"Alliance leader, what should we do?" In a dense forest about fifty miles away from Song Qiuming's army, many masked people were gathering together to discuss.

"How many times have you said it, don't call me the leader of the alliance, the leader of the Justice League will always be my boss. "One of them is thin, and the head of the Justice League is now huge.

touched his chin and said hugely: "Since Song Qiuming is guarding so tightly, then let's rest first, part of it will go back to the imperial capital with me first, we have come out these days, we should go and show our faces, so as not to be seen by those doglegs of the Holy Emperor, and the remaining part is not idle, collect as much information as we can on Song Qiuming's side, such as the marching route, and then send it to the boss." ”

"What, Blackie. ”

"Don't call me by my nickname. "A man with a thin body.

"Alright, Blackie. Huge said: "Isn't your father in the household department? Then you must know the situation of grain and grass transportation, go back and get it out, let's do a big job." ”

"Okay. ”

When the Justice League led by Pangda was wreaking havoc behind enemy lines, Song Li was also personally leading the army to attack the city and plunder the wall.

Although Song Li sent a letter early, inviting the King of the Prairie and Queen Helen to cooperate with him in the battle, he did not really let their soldiers come under his command.

In any case, this time it can only be regarded as a civil war, and since it is a civil war, it is better to solve it yourself. If you really invite the steppe cavalry and the army of the Rambis Kingdom into the Holy Lion Empire, not to mention whether they can obey the command after they come in, will it become a way to drive the tiger and devour the wolf and be bitten by the wolf again.

This reputation alone is very bad. Song Li didn't want to become a traitor who colluded with foreign countries and invaded his country.

Therefore, the 200,000 troops sent by the King of the Prairie and the 300,000 troops of Queen Helen have always been only on the border of Chen Bing, responsible for containing the forces of the Holy Lion Empire on the border and making them unable to move. In order to play more realistically, occasionally the two armies will also enter the Holy Lion Empire, but it will not go too deep, at most it will be thirty or fifty miles, and it will take a turn and leave.

Even so, it was enough to make a lot of noise on the border, and one after another urgent war reports were constantly sent into the hands of the Holy Emperor, some asked for reinforcements, and some asked for additional food and salary, which made the Holy Emperor anxious.

At this time, the Holy Emperor is really two big heads, he never thought that Song Li would unknowingly set up such a big situation, and also have such a strong and strong strength, now he is facing a situation where the army of Rambis and the grassland cavalry are pressing, and there are war dragons and Song Li's army in the south and the north, attacking the imperial capital, and the internal and external troubles erupt together, making him feel a piercing chill.

Although I have been adjusting my evaluation of Song Li, I didn't expect to find that I still underestimated him far now. The Holy Emperor regretted a little at this time, regretting that he shouldn't have pushed Song Li too hard, and he also regretted that he shouldn't have let him out in the first place.

It's easy to let it out, but the trouble is that he made such a big problem for himself as soon as he made a move, and the current Holy Lion Empire can be said to be full of smoke, and this time the chaos is even bigger than the last time
