Fifteen days. In fifteen days, the rebel army marched straight in, recaptured several cities, and forced the rebel army back to the three cities where it originated. However, due to the long-distance attrition, the supply of the rebels was also slightly insufficient, and a confrontation with the rebels was formed in a relatively difficult city.

However, the attitude of the Council of Elders towards this force has changed from joy and support at the beginning to a skeptical attitude. The reason is very simple, originally, this rebel army broke the siege of Zifu and won the hearts of the people, and it must be natural to get support. However, as the counterattack deepened, the official army sent by the Presbyterian Council was never able to obtain the marching plan and offensive plan of this rebel army, that is, the regular army was excluded from the entire operation.

In other words, the whole war is more like a show of two local armies, or miscellaneous armies. Although the regular army is also moving forward with the troops, it is losing and retreating in the early stage, and there are no substantial results in the later stage, and the people will see how the upper echelons publicize it, and this will undoubtedly cause the prestige and support rate of the regular army to decline.

If the prestige and support of a regime's regular army declines, then, undoubtedly, this is detrimental to the strengthening of rule.

What's more, when those rebels appeared, they received a lot of popular support in the later period, and now, a similar situation has appeared in this rebel army. If this rebel army finally defeats the rebels, then the leader of this rebel army will inevitably become a highly respected figure.

Now that the king of Zifu is nowhere to be found, and the third prince is young, if the motives of this rebel army are unknown, or if there are other plans, it cannot be ruled out that with the support of the people, on the grounds of conforming to the will of the people, they will rise up again and become another rebel army. And if this is the case, if you want to pacify this rebel army again, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Just when the Elders' Council was in a state of flux, the rebels suddenly sent back the news. For the general offensive of the rebels, the regular army will serve as the main attacking force, and they will only cooperate.

The other party's release of such news and making such a decision undoubtedly made the elders breathe a sigh of relief. At present, the power of the rebels has been greatly reduced, and it has long been like a candle in the wind, as long as the regular army is given a chance, it will definitely be able to take the last three cities and wipe out the birthplace of the rebels. At that time, the greatest credit will undoubtedly be that of the regular army and the Purple Mansion, and most of the previous concerns and contradictions will be easily resolved.

They couldn't help but sigh at this time, as if they were overthinking.

A day later, the general offensive was launched, and although the regular army of Zifu fought hard, it finally took half a day to finally take a city. The second city in the back was much easier, and by the time it got dark, the attack was basically complete.

The siege of the last city was scheduled for the early hours of the next day. During this period, all the sergeants of the rebel army were nowhere to be found, and there was no notification to the regular army of Zifu. However, before that, the two sides had reached an agreement on the general attack plan, so the regular army of Zifu did not make any changes. The facts showed that the tactics of the rebels were very effective, and the next day near evening, the last city was captured, and the rebels were completely annihilated, and the rebellion finally ended in the victory of Zifu.

Just when the news of the victory of the regular army of Zifu had not yet reached the main city of Zifu, another news exploded like a bomb before it was in the main city of Zifu.

The rebel army rescued the king and is now on his way back to the Purple Mansion!

............................................................................................................

"The Council of Elders seems to have miscalculated. Wan Peng smiled with a hint of nonchalance, "They feel that in the last battle, the regular army will be the main force, which is a big bargain, but in fact, they are in the middle of the plan." The rebels took advantage of this psychology of the Council of Elders to hand over the battlefield below, and at the same time organized a special force to rescue the king. Eventually, people may be more concerned about the king's rescue than about the victory of the regular army. ”

Liyang also nodded slowly, "Originally, how could there be so many good things for the Elders to catch up." But I still feel that something seems to be wrong. You think, if the king disappeared, if it was really so secret, those who kidnapped him must have a very clever method. In this rebel army, is it really the coexistence of masters and tactics?"

Wan Peng took a deep breath, "Actually, we have always been suspicious of this rebel army. The king is scheduled to give a public address tomorrow, and we can go and hear it. ”

...............................................................................................................

After being rescued, the king now has no signs of illness, and there is a big difference between the news that the king was seriously ill in the previous legend. Of course, the people who came to make the king's public speech didn't pay much attention to this, because they knew that the king was seriously ill, and it had come from the casino.

What kind of place is a casino? In Zifu, it is a place where there is no distinction between real and fake, real can become fake, and fake can come true. So, when the rebels left and the king returned, no one wondered if the king was sick or dying.

However, for Wan Peng, they see it in their eyes, it is a different feeling. He had seen the place where the king was recuperating, and it was not only heavily guarded, but also extremely secretive, and arranged in accordance with the dwelling of the sick. Of course, Wan Peng also suspected that the king at that time was not sick at all.

If it is true that the king is faking illness at that time, then it can be proved that he had some special idea.

"Subjects of the Purple Mansion. The image of the king's majesty is unquestionable, "Today is the first time in a long time that I have spoken in public again. During this time, I feel very sorry for what happened. I will not hide from you that I have been taken hostage, that I have been held hostage by the rebels. The rebels burned and killed all the way, bringing disasters to your lives and destroying the long-term peace and stability of our Purple Mansion. This is a mistake on the part of our Purple Mansion management, and here, as the king of the Purple Mansion, I first apologize to you. ”

"This disaster has also made us realize that the forces that undermine peace are everywhere, and conspirators with ulterior motives exist everywhere. They will sacrifice your homes and lives for the sake of their own interests. These people are so hateful, we will never tolerate them!"

The king's words aroused widespread resonance, and the audience applauded, "Intolerable, intolerable, intolerable, intolerable!"

The king smiled with satisfaction and raised his hands to signal silence. "At the same time, we feel very ashamed of you. Our army in Zifu was poorly trained, poorly equipped, and tactically poor, so that it was not able to stop the rebel attack in time, and everyone suffered a disaster. Therefore, I decided that all the officers and soldiers of the Purple Mansion army would be reduced by one rank and reduced by two percent as punishment. Of course, if the officers and men are not satisfied, they can leave the army now and return to their hometowns. ”

When he said this, there were still many echoes below. But Wan Peng was a little skeptical. Now that the rebellion is preliminary, it is difficult to say whether there are other variables, and it is not a wise move to reduce the army's food and salary at this time.

The king calmed down the echoes below, and continued, "Thankfully, it's all gone. I think you can probably know a little bit about who the credit goes to this time. A rebel army, desperate to pursue the rebels, recaptured the lost territory, established a new homeland, and brought new hope. ”

Speaking of this, the king smiled, "Do you want to meet the leader of our rebel army? Now, I will invite the general of this rebel army to the stage to meet you!"

When the king finished speaking, he made a gesture of please. The leader of the rebel army slowly walked up from the stage and stood on the king's side. The man looked very lean, and although he was more than six feet tall, he did not appear thin, his eyes were slightly shiny, and he was in very good shape when he stood there. I don't know if it was the king's order, or to deliberately show his majesty, his spiritual power around his body moved, the corners of his clothes were hulala, and several people close to him, except for the king, their faces changed slightly, and the audience on the periphery, a little closer, obviously also felt the flow of air.

At the same time, the formation in Wan Peng's palm lit up slightly.

Magic Trick.

This boss is a demon!

For a moment, Wan Peng and Liyang were a little surprised. At the same time, this conclusion also opened some of their doubts for a while.

Why would the rebels be so powerless to fight back against this army? The tactics of the devil are naturally different from the tactics here, and it is also common for the local army to be defeated and retreat when encountering foreign troops.

At this time, Wan Peng turned his gaze to the so-called rebel army on the periphery of the crowd, carefully observing the form of the soldiers in it. All of them seemed to be surprisingly the same height, and their demeanor was too calm. It is not impossible to say that this is the result of careful selection and strict training, but most of them are the honor guards of the state, and where can such a protruding rebel army have such energy and strength.

So, there is one that is probably best explained. This is a demon army, and all the soldiers are demons! Because demons can transform into human forms, and through transfiguration, they can be surprisingly consistent!

Wan Peng turned his gaze back to the king, who had a satisfied smile on his face. Thinking back to a detail just now, Wan Peng seemed to think of something again.

Just now, when this demon released his spiritual power and demonic nature, the king was as quiet as Mount Tai, completely unmoved. All the guards around him, even after rigorous training, couldn't help but be moved.

Why? Why? Because the king knew that this leader would come to this hand, or was he so strong that he could not react to this level of pressure? Or was he extremely comfortable with the release of this pressure?

Before Wan Peng could give an answer, the king continued to speak. "But what I want to tell you is that they are not our native army. ”
