Chapter 329: Complete Rebellion against the Tyrant Emperor

Here, Shen Yue sent out the most powerful scout team in the army, and set off southward with an urgent letter. When the ten-man team delivering the letter arrived in Cangzhou, they happened to meet Lu Fang, Ying Yi and his party. All ten members of the team were delighted, and the captain hurriedly handed over the urgent letter in his hand.

Lu Fang and Ying Yi did not dare to delay and hurriedly took the letter and opened it. When they saw the content of the letter and knew that Li Yaoguang's family was safe, Lu Fang almost cried for joy. Ying Yi was also secretly happy in his heart. However, faced with the order to go to the south to pick up the people quickly, the two looked at each other, then looked at the long escort team behind them, and made a decisive decision.

Lu Fang took the letter and said to Ying: "General, Yaoguang is my best friend. I treat her as my own sister. When I was in trouble, she did her best to save me as a friend. Now she is in trouble, and as a friend and brother, it is my duty to help her.

General, it's only a hundred miles to the old capital. Why don't you take everyone back to report to the general first, and I will quickly return south to find a way to rescue my sister, and then go north to reunite with everyone. What do you think?"

What are you looking at? Yingyi listens to Shen Yue the most and knows his master's mind best, so naturally he disagrees.

Moreover, he had selfish motives. Thinking about how he had pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, if the person was brought here and he didn't cover it up well, Miss Wan Li would expose the matter. It would be a small matter for him to die to atone for his crime, but he was afraid that his master would not be able to bear it...

Thinking of this, Ying Yi decisively shook his head and rejected Lu Fang's kindness.

"No, Army Division, I treat you as a good brother. You have to listen to me today. You go back and I leave!
Don't rush to refute me, listen to me, first of all, my fighting ability is higher than yours, and I can cooperate with the brothers behind me better than you;
Secondly, the south is getting more and more chaotic right now, and you, brother, are still on the wanted list on the desk of the tyrant in the south. If you show up again, I'm afraid you'll be implicated, and the master will be heartbroken.

In this case, it is safer and more reliable for me to go. I will trouble you to bring them back. I will turn south now. Don't worry, brother. Please tell the master when you go back that Ying will definitely live up to the master's orders and will bring Miss Li and her family back safely. Don't worry."

Seeing Yin Yi's sincere and resolute attitude, not giving him any chance to speak again, and thinking about the important matter discussed with his eldest brother earlier, which was indeed urgent, he urgently needed to report to the lord in person, so Lu Fang could only let go and entrust the person to Ying Yi. He bowed solemnly and said earnestly: "In this case, everything is up to you, brother. I entrust the most important sister to you, please bring her back safely."

Ying Yihe bowed and said, "Don't worry, brother. I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Okay, but brother, the north is safer than the south, and this place is only a hundred miles away from Kyoto. No matter how slowly you walk, you will arrive in a few days. Nothing serious will happen. It is not as dangerous as going south. I still have people here, so you can take all your people with you just in case."

Ying Yi smiled carefreely, "Thank you first, brother. However, you have too many people to escort, and you have to be on guard against refugees and bandits. So, I will take half of the people with me and leave the other half with you. After all, these are also the families of our comrades, and we cannot afford to lose them. We must not make any mistakes at the last moment. Besides, it is not good to have too many people in the south, so five hundred will be enough."

Lu Fang thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you brother."

Then Lu Fang saw the shadows who responded raised their hands one by one, and said to the team behind him: "Come on, the Tianzi team, line up 500 people and follow me south."

At the command, the guards stood beside the family team, and in front of them, five hundred elite soldiers quickly came out from the team of a thousand people led by Ying Yi, and automatically lined up in two rows, ready to go.

Ying turned around and clasped his fists towards Lu Fang again, "Goodbye, brother."

Lu Fang: "Take care, brother!"

Just like that, Ying Yi took another 500 elite soldiers and returned to the south along the original route.

At the same time, Lu Fang and his family walked for a few days and entered the old capital. They were immediately welcomed and appreciated by all the soldiers. Looking at the family reunion of his comrades, Lu Fang secretly turned his head away, holding back the emotion in his eyes, and found Shen Yue as soon as possible. He had a secret talk with him in the study for almost a whole night. After dawn, Shen Yue urgently summoned his military advisors and a group of senior generals to continue the discussion. The door of the front yard hall of the Shen family's old mansion was closed for three days. It was already the end of June...

In July of the same year.

When Ying and his horse rushed to Xinjing again after working day and night, the north was in turmoil. Shen Yue finally raised the banner of clearing the emperor's side, rectifying the government, and eliminating treacherous officials. He counted dozens of crimes of the incompetent emperor and the ministers of Qin Xiangguo in the court, and announced to the world that he had officially torn his face with the Dajing court and rebelled!
When the news from the north reached the south, the tyrant went completely mad.

On that day, he felt that Shen Yue was a man who was more powerful than his master, had no respect for the imperial power, and was difficult to control. He was a great worry to him. When he saw him today, he realized that this traitor was just as he had expected and was truly hateful. Fortunately, he was not unprepared.

As a result, the foolish ruler made one stupid move after another and stopped cleaning up the riots in many places behind him, thinking that they were just some small bugs that could not amount to anything and he was not afraid of them.

Instead, it's the north, Shen Yue!
The incompetent emperor suddenly changed his target, concentrated all his forces and marched north, raising the slogan "to maintain internal stability we must first repel foreign aggression", and vowed to capture the traitors in one fell swoop.

For a time, Dajing was in turmoil, the mountains and rivers were in tatters, the extinguished flames of war were reignited, and the air was filled with smoke... The people were suffering, the people were crying, the officials were afraid, and everyone was in danger.

On the other hand, in the South, most of the soldiers forcibly conscripted by the tyrant emperor had no combat experience. Of the remaining half, 30% were the sons of the powerful and wealthy, 30% were good-for-nothings who had followed the powerful and wealthy in the past and showed off their military prowess. As for the rest who could really fight, they did not want to fight against each other.

How can such an army be compared with the iron-blooded army like the Shen family army that fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield?

Due to the lack of unity in the army, as soon as they crossed the river and met each other, the army of 500,000 under the tyrant fell into the trap that Shen Yue had set up long ago.

The 500,000-strong army was vulnerable and was defeated, while the Shen family army was in high spirits and advanced step by step.

After the fighting, fifty became forty, forty became thirty, and thirty became ten. Some of the soldiers died, some fled, and some were incorporated. In the end, only less than 100,000 people crossed the river and escaped back.

The defeat was like a landslide, and the emperor was completely panicked when he saw the remnants of his army escaping.

At the same time, civil unrest broke out in the northwest, and the Marquis of Zhenxi was ambushed and died in his mansion. After a period of chaos, due to the situation in the Central Plains and the fact that the Shen family army sent 20,000 elite troops for support, his troops were successively taken over by Lu Yao. At the same time, under the connection of Lu Fang, Shen Yue took his confidants out of the old capital and headed west, where he met with Lu Yao in Luoyang. The two sides had a secret talk and reached an agreement. From then on, the entire northwest region fell into Shen Yue's hands.

Upon hearing the news, the foolish emperor was completely panicked. He felt that the situation was getting worse and worse. He felt like he had lost his parents and was in a state of panic all day long. In order to save his life, he made another stupid move. He abandoned the New Capital that had been built at great expense, and took his concubines, ministers, and the entire court, and retreated southward cautiously like a stray dog, avoiding the territories of the bugs in the rear, and wandering around all the way, looking for a safe place to live.

It’s a pity that Dajing is in turmoil at this moment, with smoke everywhere and the people living in misery.

In such a war-torn situation, it was extremely difficult for the common people to live, not to mention that the ruler was completely incompetent. Even at this time, for the sake of his own safety, he was still pursuing pleasure. To save his life, he fought and was defeated, and at the same time he was defeated, he recruited soldiers and collected food, just to provide for him and his dynasty to survive.

When Yingyi searched for Li Yaoguang according to the address in the letter, he finally found Li Yaoguang deep in the south. When the two met and got in touch, it was already deep winter in the blink of an eye.

The small town seems peaceful and quiet, but the world outside is in chaos and shattered. The terminally ill Dajing is howling in cold winds, the people are struggling, and snowflakes are falling from the sky again. This winter is really cold!
