"Your Majesty, you can secretly recruit troops and wait for the opportunity!" Taoist Aunt Lengyue said with a smile, "When Your Majesty becomes emperor, don't forget about the slave family."
"Of course not!" Yan Li took Taoist Sister Leng Yue's slender waist and said proudly.
…
Central Plains, somewhere.
Hong Jin is giving alms to the victims with Taoist Tianxing.
There was a severe famine here due to a severe drought. However, the local officials not only ignored the situation, but also collaborated with the landlords and occupied the farmers' land, resulting in a large number of refugees.
Hong Jin learned his skills from Taoist Tianxing, killed several landlords, and opened the official warehouse to release grain.
"My benefactor!"
"You are our reborn parents!" The people expressed their gratitude to them.
"Sir! Please show us a way out!"
Hong Jin said to everyone: "Everyone, this Yan State is in a state of decay. The government and businessmen collude and prey on the people! Now that Emperor Yan has been killed, no one can control these dog officials anymore! Follow me, we will kill the usurper."
The treacherous son, re-create a prosperous Yan Dynasty!"
At this time, the people still recognized Dayan very much. Therefore, Hong Jin did not say that he wanted to overthrow Dayan, but that he wanted to rebuild Dayan.
"Sir, as long as you take care of our food, we will do whatever you say!" All the refugees expressed their intention to follow Hong Jin.
Hong Jin has recruited tens of thousands of people over the years.
He couldn't wait to ask Taoist Tianxing: "Taoist Master, can we start an uprising now?"
"There is no rush." Tianxing Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Although Dayan is corrupt, it still has great power. The first one to cause trouble will be suppressed."
"When other forces consume Dayan's strength first, it won't be too late for us to start another uprising."
"What the Taoist said is, let's occupy the mountain first and become king and develop our power!" Hong Jin was convinced.
…
Dayuezhi, when the news of Emperor Yan's death reached Dayuezhi, Zhang Yi couldn't believe it.
"Emperor Yan is dead? She was the Emperor of Great Yan, a powerful person in the holy realm!" Zhang Yi originally thought that Emperor Yan would rule for at least several hundred years, but he didn't expect that she died suddenly.
"The world of Great Yan has begun to become chaotic!"
Zhang Yi found Pizhe again, and Pizhe had also learned the news by this time.
"Pizhe, you are right, there is still a chance!" Zhang Yi said.
"Amitabha." Vizhe said calmly, "What does the king want?"
"Of course I will establish myself as king! I, the Dayue clan, have strong soldiers and horses, why should I submit to Dayan?" Zhang Yi is also dissatisfied with the current Emperor Yan Ming. His most beloved woman was killed by Yan Li, and he asked him to solve the case, but he actually
He simply grounded Yan Li and put an end to the problem! Zhang Yi always kept this grudge in mind.
Furthermore, Da Yueshi is located in the middle of the Silk Road, and Zhang Yi has long been jealous of the extremely wealthy merchants of Yan State!
As long as they occupy this place, the Dayue clan will be able to rise strongly and even occupy Dayan in reverse!
Vizhe smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the time has come! Now the Western Region Protectorate is completely in your hands. Your Majesty only needs to occupy the northern border and control the Hexi Corridor and grasslands to completely block the northwest direction of Dayan, and then send troops to enter the pass.
,Conquer the Central Plains!"
"I have wanted to do this for a long time!" Zhang Yi was overjoyed. He has been secretly training the army for these years and has been waiting for this moment.
…
A few months later, a large business group entered the customs from the Western Regions.
This caught the guard's attention.
"What do you do?" The guard led people to investigate.
The leader was dressed in rich clothes and said: "We are the envoys of King Dayuezhi. When my king heard that Emperor Yan was Bintian, he was extremely sad and personally led the guards to Yanjing to express his condolences to Emperor Yan!"
With that said, Zhang Yi appeared on horseback in person.
Seeing Zhang Yi, the guard said respectfully: "General, I will pay my respects to King Dayuezhi, your lord, the Guardian Envoy of the Western Regions!"
"Well, turn it on and off!" Zhang Yi said calmly.
"Yes!" The guard had no doubts. Zhang Yi was not only the governor of the Western Regions, but also the prime minister's biological son. With this relationship, they all regarded Zhang Yi as one of their own.
When Da Yuezhi's soldiers entered the pass, Zhang Yi's expression suddenly changed and he ordered: "Do it!"
Da Yuezhi's soldiers immediately took control of the pass. The defenders were caught off guard and were all controlled.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy!" Zhang Yi entered the city without spending much effort. He controlled the Hexi Corridor along the way and persuaded the northern Xinjiang garrison to surrender.
When the Northern Xinjiang garrison refused to surrender, Zhang Yi personally led the troops to attack and destroyed more than a dozen cities. The Northern Xinjiang garrison asked the imperial court for assistance.
However, things in the court were in a mess at this time.
After Yan Ming succeeded to the throne, he wanted to deal with these matters. However, the officials fought for power and profit and kept arguing.
It was obvious that troops should be sent to quell the rebellion, but it was delayed for three months before sending troops out.
Before the reinforcements arrived, the Northern Xinjiang garrison surrendered directly to Zhang Yi because he could not resist the pressure.
At this point, Zhang Yi already had an army of one million in his hands, sweeping into the Central Plains from the northwest!
Yan Ming had to recruit millions of troops to resist Zhang Yi's army.
…
north.
Turkic tribes are moving south.
After the northern Xinjiang garrison surrendered, the northern defense line was ineffective. They attacked all the way and occupied a large area of land.
"Not only the grassland, we also want to take over Donghu's territory!" The Turkic Khan led his troops to the Kerulun Valley, where he unveiled the prelude to the destruction of the Huns.
"Kill!" The ferocious Turkic soldiers rushed into the Kerulun Valley.
The tribes of Donghu had been at peace for a long time and had long forgotten about riding horses to fight. Instead, they imitated the nobles of the Central Plains and drank and had fun.
Apparently there were 50,000 defenders guarding the Kerulen Valley, but they were defeated by 10,000 Turkic cavalry and lost their territory.
After the Turkic Khans occupied the Kerulen Valley, they continued southward.
Fight from Xianbei Mountain to Wuhuan Mountain!
"Khan, the Turks are coming!" In the king's tent, his subordinates reported to Wuhuan Khan Hao Zhen.
"Prepare horses for this king and go to war!" Hao Zhen raised his sword and went out to kill.
Hao Zhen led his men to confront the Turks head-on. His soldiers were much stronger than other Donghu soldiers, but the Turks were even more ferocious.
The harsh environment in the far north has cultivated their ferocity like wild wolves and their fighting power like bears.
The Turkic Khan was even more powerful and could actually suppress Hao Zhen in the Holy Realm.
Hao Zhen fought with the Turkic Khan for seven days and seven nights. In the end, he was defeated by the Turkic Khan and was killed by the Turkic Khan. He sacrificed his blood to the beast god.
…
"Abba was killed by the Turks?" Hao Ziyi was struck by thunder when he heard the news in the capital.
Zhang Beichen's death had already left her mentally and physically exhausted. Now that her father also died tragically, she felt extremely sad.
Hao Ziyi packed her bags and prepared to leave.
"Mom, I want to go too!" My daughter Zhang Yun also brought weapons and horses.
"Okay!" Hao Ziyi did not refuse.
Zhao Yun looked at them and reminded: "If you go here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back!"
Hao Ziyi's attitude was extremely resolute and said: "After my husband and my father died, I have nothing to care about in the world. When I leave, I must avenge my father and protect the place where my people live."
"Since you have made up your mind, I will stop trying to persuade you. Have a safe journey," Zhao Yun said.
"Take care of yourself too!" Hao Ziyi took Zhang Yun to Donghu territory.
Zhao Yun saw the message reminder of the simulator a few months later.
[Hao Ziyi and Zhang Yun gathered the remnant Donghu troops, guarded half of the territory, and began to contend with the Turks.]
The Donghu side is considered stable, but the northwest direction cannot be defended.
[Zhang Yi’s army marched all the way into Guanzhong with overwhelming force, and a million-strong army approached the capital.]
…
In Yanjing, in the palace, Yan Ming was already a little panicked.
His first thought was to suppress the rebellion, but the suppression failed, so he had to settle for the next best thing and try to defend the country.
But he didn't expect that the generals he sent were worse than the last, and they couldn't stop Zhang Yi's soldiers. They were all beaten to the door of his house. If this continued, Dayan might even be in danger of annihilation!
"My dear friends, the enemy has reached the gate of the capital. Who has a plan to retreat?" Yan Ming asked the ministers.
But the ministers all lowered their heads and said nothing.
Yan Ming couldn't help but feel a little regretful at this moment. If he had known that when his mother killed Guo Guang, Qing Bai, Li Fu and others, he should have tried his best to stop her.
Although they made big mistakes, they were still able to stand up and take charge of the overall situation at this critical moment.
Now, none of the people being promoted have ever seen big storms. Who can take on the heavy responsibility?
"Tell me, there's nothing you can do? Then what do I need from you?" Yan Ming scolded.
At this time, a minister said: "Your Majesty, the enemy army is fierce. It is better to move the capital to the south, strengthen the troops and horses, and then fight back."
"Move the capital? You want me to abandon the city and flee?" Yan Ming never expected that the minister's idea for him was to let him escape!
"You bastards, the enemy is attacking at your doorstep. You don't want to retreat, but you actually want to escape! Where is your blood?" Yan Ming yelled.
After he finished scolding, the ministers still said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The country of Yan is still strong, and it is just a temporary measure at this time. It will not be too late to fight back after we have regrouped!"
Yan Ming really wanted to be pissed off by them, but he couldn't find anyone who could use them.
Just when he was helpless, the palace people reported: "Your Majesty, King Zhao is waiting outside the palace, requesting an audience."
"Auntie is here? Invite her in quickly!" Yan Ming shouted hurriedly as if he had found a life-saving straw.
He almost forgot that his aunt, King Zhao Yun, was also an incredible character.
It can be said that he is the most authoritative elder alive in the world! Back then, his mother Yan Qingwu was not Zhao Yun's opponent. If it weren't for her father, it would be hard to say whether Dayan would be there now!
Zhao Yun walked up to the hall. She had already put on a military uniform and had a long sword on her waist. She looked heroic and no one dared to look directly at her.
"Aunt, you came just in time!" Yan Ming came up to meet him and said in a respectful tone: "I was just about to invite my aunt to come over for discussion. What should we do if the enemy troops approach the city?"
"Of course we are facing the enemy!" Zhao Yun said.
At this time, a minister said: "Zhang Yi has millions of troops and is unstoppable. There is no chance of winning against the enemy at this time. It is better to move the capital to the south and then make a decision!"
Zhao Yun looked at him and asked, "What is your official position?"
"Minister of the Ministry of War." The man replied.
"In the face of a powerful enemy, you don't want to fight the enemy. Instead, you want to abandon the city and flee. What's the use of you?" Zhao Yun didn't say anything, just drew his sword and chopped off the head of the Minister of War!
Blood spattered in the court, and the frightened ministers turned pale and said in horror: "Protect Your Majesty."
Yan Ming was also startled, but he calmed down and shouted: "Shut up!"
"Who still wants to move the capital?" Zhao Yun asked the ministers. All the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her!
Only then did Yan Ming realize that this was the real emperor. Compared with his aunt, he was far behind!
"Auntie, I leave the power of command to you!" Yan Ming said immediately.
"Okay." Zhao Yun did not refuse. She knew very well that with Yan Ming's ability, he might not be able to handle this matter. He would have to take action on his own.
[You immediately reorganize the city's defenses, mobilize the army and the people, and at the same time issue orders to the world according to the orders of Emperor Yan, allowing officials from all over the country to recruit troops and horses to assist the capital.]
Zhao Yun knew very well that delegating military power to local governments would definitely lead to separatism among local forces. But if he did not do this, Dayan would perish earlier.
Now we can only demolish the east wall to repair the west wall and save the capital.
[Officials from all over the country responded one after another, and in a short period of time, there were more than one million soldiers from all over the country, marching towards the capital in a mighty manner. 】
Dayan has been prosperous for many years, and its population has increased many times. During this period, it is not surprising to have an army of millions.
…
Zhang Yi was also anxious at this time, and he urgently ordered his soldiers to attack the city. However, Yanjing's city defense was strong and there was sufficient food and grass. Even though the city was besieged for several months, little progress was made.
At this time, troops from various places to support the capital had arrived and confronted Zhang Yi's army.
[After several more months, Zhang Yi’s army is still unable to attack the city. The number of troops assisting the capital has reached one million. You think the time has come and decide to go out of the city to fight Zhang Yi. 】
Outside the capital, Zhao Yun and Yan Ming led a million-strong army to confront Zhang Yi.
Yan Ming advised: "Dear brother, you and I are brothers, why do we do this?"
Zhang Yi sneered: "Brother? Do you really regard me as a brother? I know that you and Na Yan Li only think that I am a barbarian!"
"Today, my king will let you see how I, a barbarian, subverted your Yan world!"
Zhao Yun looked at him coldly and said: "Zhang Yi, you are Gu's adopted son. Gu will give you one last chance. Surrender now or Gu will not kill you."
"Aunt." Zhang Yi was very respectful to Zhao Yun. He said, "It's not that I have to rebel, it's that Yan Ming is not qualified to sit on this throne! If Yan Ming is willing to give up to me, I promise that I will treat Yan Ming well."
The common people are like their own children!”
"Yan Ming's succession is the orthodox one and cannot be changed." Zhao Yun said.
"Then aunt, don't blame the child for being ruthless!" Zhang Yi shouted loudly: "Kill!"
"Kill!" The armies from both sides fought in a massacre.
[Under your command, the Yan army defeated the enemy and took advantage.]
Zhang Yi originally thought that he was proficient in military affairs and could easily defeat the Yan army. However, he did not expect that when the Yan army was handed over to Zhao Yun's command, its combat effectiveness would be so strong.
[Bizhe personally led his men to fight against Zhao Yun, but was beheaded by Zhao Yun!]
Zhang Yi was also struggling to kill the enemy. When he came to his senses, all his own soldiers had been slaughtered.
"Zhang Yi, surrender." Yan Ming advised.
"No, I will not surrender!" Zhang Yi gritted his teeth.
"Kill!" Yan Ming gritted his teeth and made a decision.
[Zhang Yi was killed by the Yan army, and the rebels were defeated!]
Dayan defended the capital, but the situation did not improve much.
[When Queen Lanxiang heard the news of her son’s death, she announced that Dayue clan and Dayan would be at odds with each other from now on.]
[The leaders of King Qin’s army from all over the country met with Emperor Yan one after another to ask for favors from him. 】
