But even so, with so many troops and horses mobilized, it is naturally difficult to hide it.
An anomaly was discovered at the boundary of Yangzhou in the south of Jiangzhou.
Fei Yun, the governor of Yangzhou, was An Qing's best confidant, but he was not as good as Xiao Tian.
However, this lack of quality does not affect his loyalty.
When he learned that there were frequent movements of soldiers and horses near Jiangzhou, Fei Yun realized that something might not be right.
He frowned and slowly looked at his Biejia, "Du Biejia, tell me... what are they doing in Jiangzhou?"
"My lord, I can't even guess it. Could it be that Ye Guogong's troops are stretched thin and he is sending reinforcements?"
Why do we bypass our Yangzhou's flat trails and waterways, and instead march through rugged and difficult places like Black Wind Mountain and Broken Soul Valley? In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, we are afraid that the rebels will find out.
However, Fei Yun is stupid and can't think of such a reasonable reason.
Have you forgotten how your majesty treated Ye Guogong? You regretted the promised marriage and replaced it with your ugly sister. "
"The first day I came back, I resigned from Yecheng's military power. If the Duke had not been so invincible, he would have been killed by your majesty."
"Under such circumstances, how could the Duke not be Your Majesty? In addition, wars are raging and rebellions are ongoing, and the Duke is a diligent and caring man."
"It would be strange if he did not rebel!"
If it is what you said, what should we do? "
"Send someone to Jiangzhou to check first."
"I'll go and arrange the people!"
Su Biejia agreed and left Fei Yun's mansion.
Two days later, Su Biejia came to Fei Yun's house again.
「如何？」
「大人，这是叶国公给你的信，你自己看吧。」
「你这是何意？」
Su Biejia sighed, "Sir, the men I sent were captured as soon as they entered Jiangzhou territory."
"What?" I didn't expect that Jiangzhou would be like an iron barrel now. "
"Not even a mosquito can penetrate it!"
Fei Yun opened the letter with a sullen face.
I saw that it was written at the beginning of the letter. "General Ye Cheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty wrote a letter to Fei Yun, the governor of Yangzhou in the Puppet Dynasty"
"He called me the governor of the Puppet Dynasty, he..."
"Ye Guogong has indeed rebelled. Sir, please read down." Su Bie said.
"Today, the minions sent by An Qing to inspect goods at the border of Jiangzhou slaughtered the loyal and loyal without justice, violated human relations, and devastated the people. The city could not bear the suffering of the people, and the people were in danger."
h The people of a state think about how many days they can resist our king's army."
"When the city is broken, the city will not be invaded, but it will be executed. If you want to be exempted, you should follow the general trend, change your ways, and join our army."
"The letter is not finished, but I am waiting for a reply!"
After reading the letter, Fei Yun's face turned blue and white.
"Ye Cheng...he really rebelled!"
"Sir, how should we decide? Lord Ye Guogong is famous for his ability to lead troops."
"I heard that ten years ago, the late emperor did not dare to let him continue to rule because he was a god with troops. Soldier. That's why he was sent into the Demon Locking Tower." Fei Yun looked at Su Biejia with a sullen face, "Su Qing, what you said is absolutely true. The late emperor was indeed afraid that Ye Cheng would continue to lead his troops to cause trouble. What trouble did you use to lure him to the Demon Locking Tower? "
"Now, he has 300,000 troops in Jiangzhou, how can we be his opponent?"
" Therefore, my lord..."
Fei Yun sighed, "What your Majesty has done is worthy of the outrage of both men and gods. If nothing else, mutinies are taking place in Hefei and Huancheng, the former prefectures of Yangzhou."
"Robbing children to boost his own cultivation, luring immortal cultivators into the capital for assassination, bottomless conscription, and countless exorbitant taxes, our Majesty is no longer the wise king he was when he ascended the throne." Here, Su Biejia, do you want to continue asking? "
"Reply to the Duke, the ten counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou are willing to follow the Duke, kill the demon queen, and calm the country."
Su Qing looked at Fei Yun in surprise, you know, Fei Yun is a person trusted by An Qing!
Now, Fei Yun actually said such a thing? It's too cold-blooded.
"I, Fei Yun, am a helper or not a relative. People say I am An Qing's sword, but I have never been. Everything I do is for Dazhou..."
"Su Qing, I will write a handwritten letter. You can send this letter to Jiangzhou immediately and deliver it to the general."
Even the title has changed!
A moment later, Su Qing took the handwritten letter from Fei Yun, her hands trembling slightly.
He stared at the letter as if it was of great weight.
Regret that it was too late to raise the army! "
"Go!"
"Yes!"
That night, Su Qing rode out of the city in person and went to Yangzhou to deliver the message.
At the same time, Ye Cheng, Chen Yun, Zhang Jifangren and others were discussing military and political affairs at the General's Mansion in Jiangzhou.
Zhou An suddenly broke in, "General, an envoy from Yangzhou came and claimed to meet the Duke."
"Oh?"
Ye Cheng looked at Zhou An curiously, "Fei Yun actually sent someone here?"
"Exactly, master, the envoy also brought Fei Yun's personal letter."
"What is written in the letter?"
"He said that he is willing to follow you, the master, to raise an army, kill the demon queen, and quell the country's calamity."
h It happened that An Ning of Kinmen heard this, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "Brother Ye Cheng, this Fei Shishi is An Qing's confidant."
h "An Ning, what do you mean?"
"Things are a bit suspicious. Brother Ye Cheng should go see the envoy first. I will take care of the rest."
Ye Cheng nodded, "Okay."
But An Ning is unwilling to proclaim herself emperor. Her own argument is that the time has not yet come.
Hence, today's peace is just the general's wife and the military counselor.
However, at the moment, this seems to be a good thing.
Su Qing was waiting outside. When she saw Ye Cheng coming out, she hurriedly raised her hands and said, "I'll see you, General."
Ye Cheng smiled, "You even changed the title?"
"That is, since my lord has decided to join the rebellion and raise an army with you, the Duke, naturally he will not continue to call the general with the official title given by the court." Soldier?"
"Exactly, my lord's personal letter, the general should have read it."
Ye Cheng nodded, "I've read it, I'm very touched, and I'm very pleased that Mr. Fei did the right thing."
