Chapter 333: The tyrant emperor becomes a turtle among turtles

The rebel leader had good ideas, but the so-called rebels were actually ordinary people who had suffered and could not survive, and had no choice but to rebel.

The weapons in their hands are either sticks, hoes and sickles, or the kitchen knives and hatchets they are used to using at home. How can such rebels have any fighting power!

Faced with the well-equipped troops of the foolish emperor, who were still recuperating in Yuezhou and well-fed and well-drinking, compared with them, and looking at the towering walls of Yuezhou City and the dense crowds of refugees who had been driven out of the city and then gathered around again, the rebel leader was indeed a smart one.

They knew that they could not attack the city with the shabby belongings in their hands. Even if they were lucky enough to break into the city, they, who had never fought a war, were no match for the well-trained and strong army in the city. Even if they were weak and were no match for the King of the North, they could not defeat him.

Since we can't win by force, we can only use our wits to defeat them.

The leader of the rebels must be smart, eloquent, and good at brainwashing. Otherwise, how could so many people follow him in the rebellion? You know, rebellion means the death penalty and the execution of nine generations of the clan.

So the rebel leader played to his strengths, and with a few of his eloquent confidants, he stirred up the hearts of the tens of thousands of refugees at the four city gates and spread his ideas that the people should be the masters of their own country.

The oppressed people outside the city, who felt they could not survive without even a thin bowl of porridge, were immediately moved.

The rebels said it well, if you obey, you will die, and if you disobey, you will die too. Since you will die either way, you might as well fight and rebel, maybe you can earn a chance to survive.

As a result, the vast majority of the refugees outside the entire Yuezhou city, except for some smart people who did not want to be used and some old, weak and sick people who were not wanted by the rebels, joined the rebels. The rebel army of tens of thousands of people quickly grew to more than 100,000.

It was a difficult task to feed so many people. Fortunately, the leader of the rebel army was not stupid and did not sit still. He knew that food would not fall from the sky. Yuezhou City had high walls and deep walls, and he could not get the food inside. He simply picked a general from among the short men and divided his troops into several groups. The best soldiers stayed behind to continue the siege of Yuezhou, and the remaining groups were scattered and rushed to the towns and villages around Yuezhou. They were like locusts passing through the border, snatching food wherever they saw it. How could they be called a righteous army!
Li Yaoguang, Ji Mo and Ying Yi all took advantage of the night to find an opportunity to climb up the city wall to check the situation outside. They saw refugees, oh no, it was the rebels who were surrounding the city and refusing to leave. Smoke and fire floated from time to time among the thousands of troops. Several people guessed that the rebels outside were probably surrounding the city but not attacking, just waiting for the food and grass in the city to be exhausted, so that they could easily take over Yuezhou in one fell swoop and destroy the tyrant emperor and replace him.

At this time, the situation in Yuezhou was on the verge of breaking out. Li Yaoguang and his companions who were resting here never expected that things would develop like this. Obviously, Yuezhou was no longer a place to stay for a long time, so it was better to leave as soon as possible.

Ji Mo, who didn't want Li Yaoguang to take any risk, made a decisive decision to find a way to leave as soon as possible.

Fortunately, after the tyrant entered the city, Qijitang had already closed down and was ready to escape. When they really wanted to leave, they only needed to wait for the order and the entire Qijitang would be able to sneak away in an orderly manner.

Just in case, Ji Mo still made a foolproof plan with Li Yaoguang. Just when they were getting ready to sneak out of the city, the storm outside Yuezhou city came again.

On that day, drums were beating outside Yuezhou City, which had been silent for many days. The noise was so loud that it did not seem like the work of the refugees and rebels. After all, the rebels outside the city had little food, and in order to stay alive, they spoke and moved quietly. In order to save energy, they had been surrounding the city but not attacking, so how could there be such a noise?

Realizing something was wrong, the tyrant emperor immediately sent people to climb the wall to check. Even Ji Mo and Ying Yi did not dare to delay and immediately climbed the wall secretly to check the situation.

What we saw was that outside the dense crowds of rebels, there was a line of people holding up large banners with the word "Shen" on them, pressing forward like a black tide.

At this moment, Yuezhou City was in a desperate situation, surrounded by the rebels and Shen Yue's army. The emperor was heartbroken.

Unlike the tyrant and others in the city, when Ying Yi saw the Shen-character flag fluttering in the wind, he was stunned and almost cried with joy. He pulled Ji Mo's arm with surprise and pointed to the army in front, "Doctor Ji, that's my master. It must be my master leading the troops to attack. As long as we can get out of the city and join him, we will be safe, Doctor Ji!"

The excited Ying Yi immediately changed his mind and decided not to leave. What was the point of crossing Dongting Lake or crossing the Yangtze River to Jinling? He would stay here, waiting to reunite with his master.

After the two of them secretly descended from the city wall and sneaked back, Yingyi went straight to Li Yaoguang to report the good news.

"Miss Li, that's great. We don't have to leave. The Shen family army is outside the city right now. Once the city is captured, we can reunite with the Lord. Miss, you don't have to take the risk of going north!"

Ying Yi was so excited actually out of selfish motives. What he didn't say was that since the army was here, it meant that even if the master was not here, he would be nearby.

These 500 best fighters have missed many previous battles. In this battle to capture the king, they must fight side by side with their brothers and cannot miss this opportunity to make great contributions.

If they could capture the tyrant in one fell swoop, and then cooperate with those outside the city to open the city gate, then why would they worry that Yuezhou would not be conquered, the tyrant king would not be destroyed, and the Lord would not unify the world?
Of course, before that, you have to get your mission out of the city safely.

Yingyi thought so and said so too.

Ji Mo watched coldly, but felt that it was not good for Yingyi to be so excited. He didn't know the lofty ambitions in Yingyi's heart. He only knew that under the current situation, even if he had a deep foundation in Yuezhou City, it would be impossible for Li Yaoguang to leave the city safely without any mistakes, let alone Yingyi who was unfamiliar with the place.

Even if they had 500 people, they would not be enough to face the tens of thousands of soldiers and spies of the tyrant in the city.

Ji Mo, who was unwilling to let Li Yaoguang take any risk, immediately refuted Yingyi's next suggestion with a dark face. He looked at Yingyi coldly and said.

"Yingyi, you are not mine. I have no right to control what you want to do. But if you want to put someone at risk, I'm sorry, you can't!"

"Doctor Ji, what do you mean? Are you trying to stop Miss Li from reuniting with my master?"

What nonsense is this! Ji Mo frowned and looked at Ying Yi unhappily.

The war was about to break out, and Li Yaoguang, who was watching from the sidelines, was feeling overwhelmed and quickly stepped out to act as a peacemaker.

"Alright, alright, big brother, Yingyi, don't argue. Your ideas are all good, but in the current situation, Yingyi, even if Shen Yue comes in person, no matter how capable he is, he can't get in for a while. And the risk we take if we go out may be greater than hiding now. Rather than showing up and making the head of the Li family embarrassed and worried, it is better for us to protect ourselves for the time being and go out after the war is over. What do you think?"

"This one……"

"Oh! What's this? What's going on? Do you want to repeat what happened to the Shen family?"

Ji Mo's cold and ruthless words completely broke the harmony between him and Ying Yi in the past.
