A few days later, the Liukang Dynasty and the three city guards who had concluded a contract with Qin Yi all supported the city and became independent.

They expressed their opposition to Prince Gong's message and complained bitterly about the evil intentions of Prince Gong and Prince Su. They stated that they would establish their own clan and use their own efforts to restore Kangdu and rescue the emperor.

At the same time, these three city guards all attacked the surrounding cities with lightning speed. The reason was that these cities were in cahoots with the two kings and did not think about the savior.

In an instant, many cities fell. Sanfeng City captured two cities, Yaocheng captured one city, and Bincheng captured one city.

This situation made Liukang people unexpected and horrified.

Many city guards angrily accused the three of them of betraying their faith and plotting rebellion.

Prince Gong was even more angry and sent orders to many cities to intensify their military training, and then united their forces to wipe out the rebels.

In response, the city guards in the three cities also prepared their troops and horses, hoarded food and grass, and prepared for the attack.

In addition, they also sent lobbyists to the cities they had made friends with to persuade the city guards not to follow the two kings, pointing out that it was difficult for the two to shoulder the heavy responsibility and it was better to create a great cause together.

Although the city guards did not agree, they were still thinking and had a wait-and-see idea, wanting to wait until later to see the situation.

If the soldiers and horses under the control of the two kings cannot defeat the rebels with the power of thunder, but are fierce in appearance, then in the future, they may also be able to... compete in the world!

Just when the situation became chaotic, Sun Xingling carried out the next strategy according to the instructions in Qin Yi's secret letter, and sent people to spread rumors that the so-and-so city guard was rebellious. Although he was obeying King Gong's command at the moment,

It was just so that he could switch sides and severely damage Prince Gong's troops in the future.

There are more than a dozen such rumors, and the protagonists of each are city guards of different cities. They are spread everywhere, so that the officials in Liukang are frightened, especially Prince Gong and Prince Su. They have no idea which city guards are trustworthy and which ones.

The city guard cannot be trusted.

We can only guard every city with a strong sense of precaution.

Therefore, suspicions and contradictions breed crazily within Liukang.

In the atmosphere of distrust, even if the city guard had no objection, he couldn't help but have the idea of ​​"if you think I am going to rebel, I will rebel".

In just a few days, the Liukang officials who were originally twisted into one rope were divided into dozens of strands, like tangled knots, because of Qin Yi's serial plan.

The entire situation in Liukang became extremely chaotic. Due to conflicts, suspicions, and growing ambitions, many city guards supported their own troops and no longer obeyed the commands of King Gong and King Su.

It can be said that a group of heroes came together, refusing to obey anyone, and began to conquer each other.

When Sun Xingling and others saw this scene, they almost woke up from their dreams laughing.

They were no longer under pressure and could only admire Qin Yi with all their hearts. Qin Yi was really like a man of God. He made Liu Kang's situation suddenly change with just a few clicks.

Many city guards, like chess pieces, fell into Qin Yi's chess game. They thought they were free to act, but they didn't know that their every move was easily manipulated by Qin Yi!

…

Linzhan Dynasty, Zhanjing.

In the side hall of the palace, many important ministers gathered here.

Dingjunhou, Yingguogong, Si Qimei, and the other five ministers were all sitting on the side.

Although Qin Yi is not here, no one dares to sit on this throne.

As the initiator of this meeting, Marquis Dingjun took the lead and said, "My lords, I wonder if you have encountered any difficulties in handling government affairs in the past few days?"

The Linzhan Dynasty was a large country with a vast territory, and would always encounter some difficulties when executing government orders.

These difficult questions were always raised in the early court and were decided by the emperor.

But now, there is no emperor in Linzhan, and the regent Qin Yi has also led his troops to go on an expedition. Therefore, everyone followed Qin Yi's instructions and used collective efforts to deal with these problems.

After hearing the question from Marquis Dingjun, the Minister of War took the lead and said, "We are fighting in two places, attacking Liukang externally, and suppressing the rebels internally. There are not many troops in the court, so I think it is appropriate to recruit troops to fill the vacancy."

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel agreed, "I heard that Lu Jingyue's man has recruited troops throughout the Zhaolie Mansion. The number of troops has increased greatly, reaching 200,000, which is twice the number of the prince. I am worried, and the prince can deal with it. Maybe

I will be stretched thin, so I also feel that we should recruit troops to prepare for emergencies."

After hearing this, Marquis Dingjun pondered for a while, looked at the crowd and said, "This is a major matter, and it should be decided by the prince."

When the two ministers heard this, they couldn't help but frown.

During this period, when encountering difficult problems that everyone has different opinions on, they will be solved by the minority obeying the majority.

They thought that this problem would be the same, but unexpectedly, Marquis Dingjun suggested that Qin Yi make the decision.

Of course, they knew that this matter involved the whole dynasty and was of great importance. No one except Qin Yi could take the responsibility.

So there is absolutely no problem in letting Qin Yilai make the decision.

But the problem is that Qin Yi is heading north at this moment, and the information is transmitted back and forth, which is extremely confusing.

As a result, it will be difficult to recruit troops quickly and support Qin Yi as soon as possible.

But then they thought about it and realized that even if they were recruiting troops now, they would not be able to recruit them in one day. There would definitely be delays and it would also take a lot of time.

In this case, there is no rush, so we can only leave this matter to Qin Yilai to decide as Ding Junhou said.

Seeing that no one had any opinions, Marquis Dingjun nodded and asked everyone to continue raising difficult questions.

Many ministers have spoken out and mentioned the problems encountered by the department.

This situation is extremely normal. Every department that has jurisdiction over the corresponding affairs of the entire dynasty will always encounter difficulties. Just like the household department under Si Qimei's jurisdiction, it also encountered considerable difficulties.

The Minister of Household Affairs had already told her that when Zhanjing fell, the people in the capital area were frightened and fled one after another, so that the fields were left uncultivated and the number of refugees increased.

It became difficult to collect land taxes near the capital.

As the people fled to various places, the number of households in each household was no longer consistent with what was recorded in the household registration.

This is a difficult problem and gives Si Qimei a slight headache.

In order to solve this problem, she went to the household department early every day and stayed late at night, just to solve Qin Yi's problems.

If you can't fight with him, you have to work hard to stabilize the rear for him!

Fortunately, after long discussions with many subordinates, we have come up with a suitable method, which not only solves the problem of unable to collect land taxes, but also introduces measures to calm the people, so that these refugees can return to the countryside as soon as possible.

The five ministers all raised questions, but Si Qimei did not mention it, which made everyone a little surprised.

But Marquis Dingjun knew that it was not that there were no problems in the household department, but that Si Qimei solved them by being diligent and conscientious in her duties.

The whole family was massacred, but they endured the grief and worked hard at their duties. Si Qimei's strength and resilience impressed Marquis Dingjun.

Such a gentle, dignified, virtuous and generous woman is indeed the best choice for the princess.

It has to be said that Qin Yi is not only outstanding in resourcefulness and fighting ability, but also has outstanding ability in choosing women... Thinking of this, Ding Junhou secretly nodded.

He didn't know how Qin Yi and Si Qimei got acquainted, but he could guess that Qin Yi's heart fell in love with Si Qimei, and he must have been attracted by the other's gentleness.

It's definitely not because of her beauty and good figure. As an outstanding person, Qin Yi cannot be so superficial.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Si Qimei, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly said, "Master Marquis, my lords, I feel that we cannot allow the disciples of True Heart to travel north freely. We should strengthen control and prohibit people from leaving their hometowns without any reason."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

They all already knew that King Mu was the master of the Chixin Sect.

When they first heard the news, everyone was filled with hatred and wanted to tear this crazy guy alive, who would do anything to achieve his goals.

They have guessed that after the death of the late emperor, many conspiracies and troubles caused by the Chixin Sect were all planned by King Mu. This guy is too insidious and vicious!

But hatred turned into hatred, and everyone had not reacted yet. Now when they heard what Si Qimei said, they all nodded in agreement.

When Marquis Dingjun saw this, he immediately said, "In that case, we will strengthen control. If we are not allowed to leave our hometown and go north without authorization, we will all be suspected. We will all be captured and imprisoned pending trial!"

After the discussion, everyone couldn't help but look to the north.

They knew that Qin Yi was leading his troops northward at this moment to fight to the death with the insidious and vicious King Mu with his inferior force.

They only hope that Qin Yi can put down the rebellion and see a bright future.

Of course, I also hope he returns safely.

After losing the empress, Lin Zhan cannot lose him again!

…

Panlian Mansion, in the wilderness.

Under the gray sky, there is a long queue, heading from the northeast to the southwest.

If you take a closer look, you can see that there are many donkey carts and ox carts in this team, and there are many people driving these carts, whipping and whipping, to make the oxen and donkeys go faster.

Through the curtain of the carriage, you can vaguely see many cloth bags placed inside.

These cloth bags contain countless amounts of food and grass.

These grains and grass were shipped out from Zhaolie Mansion and will be delivered to the Panlian rebels tonight.

On the periphery of this grain transport team, there were some cavalry and infantry, following the team forward, shouting as they marched, "Hurry up, don't waste time!"

While shouting, some cavalrymen swung their whips at the heads of the peasants who were driving the animal-drawn carts.

Just hearing a snap, the civilian laborer screamed in pain.

This cry containing pain failed to win the sympathy of the rebel soldiers, but instead made them laugh.

The civilian husband who was beaten could only gnash his teeth and lower his head, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

Slowly, this grain transport team arrived among the mountains.

There are dense woods on the surrounding mountains, from which the loud sounds of birds and monkeys can be heard.

But among them, there is a mountain forest that is silent and extremely quiet.

Just because there is a team of people lurking among them.

This team of men and horses, all holding long knives, bent over and stared at the grain transport team in the distance.

On the other side, on a high hill, Hengyu was dressed in black armor, riding on a horse, squinting his eyes tightly and looking into the distance.

When he saw the enemy and was about to enter the attack range, Hengyu slowly raised his hand, then waved it down violently, "Kill!"

With an angry shout, the cavalry behind him poured down from the hills like a tide, sweeping towards the grain transport team!
Chapter completed!
