Chapter 373 Can’t we rebel?
Yuchi Lan said helplessly: "Although this is the case, it will delay us for a long time."
Song Yao said, "We've already arrived in the capital, so we have plenty of time. The worst that can happen is we can just slowly grind them out."
Yuchi Lan said, "I'm worried about not having enough food."
Song Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is enough food and grass."
"Okay, let's take it slow!" Yuchi Lan didn't want to attack directly, because if he did so, many innocent civilians would be implicated. He was just worried that there would not be enough food and grass, and that problems would arise if it was delayed, so he discussed it with Song Yao.
But since Song Yao said that there was enough food and grass, he didn't say anything.
The enemy lost this battle and their men had already retreated. There was nothing left to fight for, so Song Yao and the others returned to the camp.
Seeing them coming back, Song He hurried forward and asked, "Sister, how was it? Did we win?"
Song Yao said, "My master is here, so I'm definitely the winner."
"Really? That's great!" Song He was extremely happy.
Song Yao said, "You are pregnant now, so take it easy."
Song Qing said: "Your belly has grown so big in a blink of an eye. Time flies so fast."
Song He smiled and said, "Yes, time flies so fast. In another month, I will give birth, haha."
Song Yao said, "It's quite convenient here. We can sneak into the city and find a midwife. If we want to buy something, we can disguise ourselves and go in to buy it. It's quite good."
"Yes." Song He was bulging her belly and felt a little sore in her waist, so she asked Xiao Yan to help her go back to the tent to rest.
After Song He left, Song Yao also went to see the child.
……
In the military camp in the capital, when General Wu was feeling frustrated, Master Jiang came into the general's tent.
General Wu glanced at Master Jiang, his eyes showing a hint of dissatisfaction. "Master Jiang, what brings you here?"
General Wu knew better than anyone what Master Jiang had done during this period. If it weren't for him, the Dachao Kingdom wouldn't have come to this day, and Prince Heng wouldn't have led his troops to rebel.
However, Master Jiang is the emperor's confidant. Last time, someone opposed him in the court, and as a result, that minister was immediately dismissed from his post.
General Wu really didn't understand why the emperor valued him so much. He was a treacherous minister who harmed people. If he stayed in the court, the emperor would sooner or later change his master.
State Master Jiang walked up to General Wu, a smile on his cunning face. "General Wu, how about a fight today?"
"What? The national master wants to ask about military affairs? Is there something inappropriate?" General Wu snorted and turned his head away.
Jiang Guoshi smiled and said, "General Wu, I know you hate me, but this is a matter of national importance. Can we put aside our personal grudges for the time being?"
General Wu stood up and looked at Imperial Preceptor Jiang. "Imperial Preceptor, what on earth are you doing here?"
Jiang Guoshi still had a smile on his face. "I have a plan here. As long as General Wu is willing to use it, we can defeat them!"
"Oh?" General Wu narrowed his eyes. "If he's so powerful, why doesn't the Imperial Master go and fight the enemy himself?"
Imperial Preceptor Jiang was stunned for a moment and said, "General Wu, I'm a civilian. How can a civilian go to the battlefield? I'm here to help you out of kindness. General Wu, don't you want to win?"
General Wu knew very well that if he used Master Jiang's strategy, then what difference would there be between him and Master Jiang? He always despised people like him who used tricks to get to the top.
But now, he didn't have any capable men at his disposal, and the swordsman on the other side was very skilled in swordsmanship. As long as he was there, the battle could not be won.
General Wu thought it over again and again before he looked at Imperial Preceptor Jiang. "Imperial Preceptor, what is your plan? Can you guarantee a 100% victory over them?"
Seeing that he had compromised, Master Jiang smiled. He walked up to General Wu and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, General Wu frowned and asked, "Is this possible?"
"How will you know if you don't try?" Jiang Guoshi smiled. "General Wu, I'll be leaving now and wait for your good news."
He nodded slightly and left the general's tent.
General Wu took a deep breath and paced back and forth in the tent. After a while, General Wu said, "Zhang Che!"
Zhang Che walked in from outside the door, "General, what are your orders?"
General Wu waved his hand and said, "Come here."
Zhang Che walked up to General Wu and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhang Che frowned and said with some reluctance, "General, this is inappropriate, isn't it?"
General Wu said calmly, "Why wouldn't this be inappropriate? As long as it can deal with those traitors outside the city, then it's perfectly suitable! Go and do it."
"Yes! I obey your command!" Zhang Che bowed and immediately left the general's tent.
After arriving outside, Zhang Che called over twenty people. After walking to a deserted spot, he said, "Go spread the word in the city, saying that Prince Heng and Prince Rui are rebelling. Let the people go out and scold them. That's just one idea. Second, Luo An, buy me some Crane's Beak Red. I can use it."
"Yes!" Luo An bowed.
The others responded and left.
Zhang Che watched them leave, put his hands behind his back, and sighed.
Zhang Che really couldn't bear to see those people involved, but this was the general's order, so how could he dare not disobey?
And they even had to use Crane's Beak Potion to deal with them. Zhang Che sighed, this is not what a gentleman does at all!
Zhang Che shook his head and left.
……
The next day.
As soon as Song Yao woke up, she heard a commotion outside.
There was no one in the tent and no one knew what had happened.
Song Yao yawned, got up, changed her clothes, washed up, and then went out.
When he came out, he saw hundreds of ordinary people coming in front of him. They pointed at Xiao Chi and the others and started cursing them, saying that they were traitors and that they were rebelling against their own father, which was simply intolerable.
The city gate had been closed all the time, but they came now, which showed that the gate must have been opened by General Wu.
Does this guy want to involve these innocent people?
Song Yao walked to Xiao Chi and took a look at his expression.
His face looked very ugly, as if he was enduring something.
Song Zizhou looked at the people and said angrily, "What do you mean by traitor? The current emperor is unjust, so can't we rise up in rebellion? Besides, don't you know what this damn emperor has done?"
Song Qing said angrily, "Last year, the Great Dynasty was plagued by natural disasters and man-made calamities. What did the emperor do for them? He just watched them starve to death and get beaten to death. And, did you know that there was even cannibalism outside? But only the Imperial City was peaceful!"
E Yu said, "The situation in the ancient country of Qingge is the worst. A group of bandits appeared there and specialized in capturing those who were still alive and eating them. You are only living in the imperial city, so you haven't encountered them. If you went outside, you would have been eaten until only bones were left!"
