Chapter 219 This Strength is So Terrifying
On this day, the news of the collective rebellion of the former Crown Prince's wife and nearly 200 of the Crown Prince's concubines finally reached the court.
"What?" The emperor lazily lay on the beauty's lap and sneered, "Just them? A bunch of women can rebel? If you make it up, make it sound more convincing! Come, drag him away and beat him to death with sticks!"
Unjust eunuch:?
However, soon, the second urgent news came in.
"What?!" The emperor pushed the beauty away, his face livid. "This is actually true?! How is this possible?!"
Here comes the third one again.
"What?!" The emperor sat up with a jerk, his rage almost exploding. "They actually conquered an entire province???"
"You're just a bunch of rubbish! You can't even beat a woman! What am I keeping you for? Chop them all off!"
"What?! They actually dared to rebel, how is this possible?!" Half a day later, Xia Jian also made the same cry.
Ever since Song Yunshu and Shen Lixin stole the tiger talisman and fled, his house was ransacked.
He lost his official position, his throne, and his money. If the Song family had not been willing to take him in, he would have been homeless.
He was in such a miserable state, and they actually ran away to rebel? Did they still remember that they were his women?
Xia Jian was angry! Then he got angry for a moment.
There's nothing he can do.
Oh, there was still one thing he could do. He ran to the Song family and asked them to use their connections to arrange for him to join the military camp and become a soldier.
In this way, he only needs to wait for the rebels to enter the capital, then come out and show his authority as a husband to them, and use his status as a husband to crush them, and they will all laugh to death (?)
This wave, this wave is called responding to ever-changing situations with the same attitude.
…
On the other side, Shu Yan had already reached the third province, Mantou Province.
Mantou Province is rich in resources and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It has always been the preferred destination for rebels.
[Shen Lixin and Song Yunshu's army arrived at the border of Mantou Province, but saw towering mountains, making it impossible to cross, let alone attack.]
Shu Yan changed "towering" to "not" and "not" to "get".
So the army came to the front of the mountain and was about to climb it, but suddenly, the mountain disappeared.
There was no warning, no prelude, it just disappeared.
“???????”
"There was a mountain here just now. Where is the mountain? Where is the mountain?"
The mountain disappeared, but the enemy troops ambushing on the mountain were suddenly revealed.
Today, the governor and the governor of Mantou Province arranged 20,000 troops to ambush here, but they never expected that instead of ambushing the enemy, they lost the mountain.
They were shocked for half a minute, then looked at each other awkwardly with Shu Yan's army.
“Ah~”
“Ga ga ga—”
“Ahhhhh——”
At this time, the birds and monkeys on the mountain also started screaming.
Where is their home? Where is their home? Where is their home?
The monkeys on the mountain were running around in panic. Their homes were gone. How could this happen? They cried and screamed as they hurriedly searched for a new home.
Shu Yan felt itchy and added "and the enemy" after the last one of them.
So all the monkeys in the mountain ran around with their big red butts sticking out.
The enemy troops all over the mountain were extremely envious of their happy life and joined them.
"Ah! Ahhhh!" 20,000 people shouted, jumped up and down, and ran after the monkey, howling.
Shu Yan's army was stunned.
The army won easily, marched straight in, and finally reached the foot of the provincial capital.
The capital of Mantou Province had already received news of the defeat on the front lines and the disappearance of the army. It locked the city gates tightly and launched three of its reserve artillery pieces, aiming them at Shu Yan's army.
Yes, there were artillery pieces in ancient times. The level of development during this dynasty was similar to that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it had some of the necessary technological buds, but it was not enough to form an industrial revolution.
"Humph, a bunch of women!"
The general, with his remaining 30,000 troops, sent someone from the city wall to shout to the other side: "Surrender as soon as possible, and you will be spared if you lay down your weapons! Otherwise, the cannons will blow you into pieces!"
Shu Yan smiled on the other end and sent someone to deliver a gift.
"Hmph, are you scared?" The general snorted coldly and ordered his men to open the gift box.
It turned out to be a box of Niu Fen.
"??? Fine! Since you're determined to die, this general will show no mercy!" The general was furious: "Come on, bring the cannons!"
The artillery quickly rolled out their cannons, firing relentlessly at the enemy. They had two thousand rounds of ammunition in reserve, and they were determined to hold the city.
Shu Yan changed the enemy into mosquitoes and deleted Qian.
So the artillerymen pushed out the cannons.
The general sent someone on the stage to shout, "This is your last warning. Will you surrender?"
Shu Yan ignored him and gave the order to attack, and the army rushed out.
The general was furious and ordered the artillery to attack quickly.
The artillerymen loaded their bullets fiercely, and then, oh wow, they slowly aimed at the mosquitoes in the sky.
Two loud bangs shook the earth.
Successfully defeated the mosquitoes, killing two and seriously injuring three.
This strength is so terrifying.
"???" The general was stunned: "What are you doing? What are you fighting for?!"
A mosquito landed on his nose, shaking its legs. The arc of its shaking legs showed its desperation.
Is that really the case? Huh? They even resorted to using cannons to defeat it. What a deep hatred and resentment...
The general swatted the mosquito away and angrily said, "Why don't you attack the enemy immediately?!"
"Uh..." the artilleryman said sadly, "General, we have no ammunition..."
General: “???????”
"Weren't there clearly 2,000 rounds? How come they're gone now? You—"
The general was not discouraged and went to see for himself, and found that it was really gone, not a single shot.
The general was shocked and angry, convinced there must be a spy. However, the war was more important now, so he could only wait until the battle was over before carefully catching the spy.
Shu Yan changed "after the fight" to one second later.
The general paused for a second, then suddenly shouted, "Everyone, pay attention! There's a traitor! Now, immediately, stand still. Left and right, arrest the spy immediately!"
about:?
"Ah, General, we are not going to fight this war anymore?"
"General, no! The enemy is about to break in, General..."
However, the general was resolute: "Catch the spy! Do you hear me? This is a military order. Who dares to disobey?"
So the army was forcibly frozen by the general himself.
The 30,000-strong army did not dare to disobey military orders and watched in despair as the enemy broke through the city gate and rushed into the city.
The story on the general's side ended only after Shu Yan occupied the entire city and captured the governor and the governor.
He was dumbfounded as he looked at the city that had changed hands.
It's over, what should I do? Why did he become so crazy? What did he do?
Forget it, just surrender.
Alas, the spy is actually ourselves.
Shu Yan then successfully took control of the city, and following the same operations as in the previous two provinces, he sent his generals to occupy the remaining counties and towns, cleansed the bureaucracy, recruited female soldiers, and rewarded his subordinates.
However, she still went to the prefect's residence in one of the prefectural cities in person, because the prefect was Ruyan's father.
