Chapter 6 How is this possible! (Ch 6)

【December of the first year of Wanhe.】
【Chen Huaixin’s words about the injustice of the soldiers. 】
【Only half a month. 】
[Caozhou, Chanzhou, Yunzhou, Yanzhou, Yizhou and other places were all captured. ]
[Officials in these states are all confused.]
[Yang Yi had just been driven away, and the court had just sent them to take over this place. However, before they could even get comfortable, another group of rebels occupied this place.]
【What’s the matter? 】
[Is there any sarcasm here? ]
[No matter who it is, they must attack these cities first? ]
[Officials fled.]
【The news of the rebellion also spread to Chang’an City.】
【January, the second year of Wanhe.】
[Empress Changning once again dispatched the governor of Pinglu, ordering him to recover the lost territory as quickly as possible and severely suppress the arrogance of the rebels! ]
[“The leader of the rebels, Yang Yi, has died. The wars in various places have abated. Wherever our Dacheng troops go, the rebels flee. But if another person like Yang Yi shows up, Dacheng will be in turmoil again!”]
[“I cannot bear a second large-scale rebellion!”]
[“The people of Dacheng cannot bear a second man-made disaster!”]
[Empress Changning spoke earnestly to the governor of Pinglu.]
[Since the last campaign against Yang Yi failed, the Pinglu Jiedushi has always regarded it as a shame. Now that he has the opportunity to wash away that shame, he naturally has no hesitation! ]
[“I will definitely live up to your expectations!”]
【February, the second year of Wanhe.】
[The governor of Pinglu mobilized his troops and stationed himself in Luoyang. He ordered his men to lead 2,000 infantry and cavalry to Ruzhou and Dengzhou to guard the key roads. He also ordered another man to lead 1,000 infantry and 500 cavalry to station in Shanzhou and Tongguan to stop the rebels of Yuanju from advancing westward.]
【After making defensive preparations. 】
[He originally wanted to wipe out the rebels step by step.]
[Most of those who rose up in rebellion were peasant soldiers, and slowly eroding them would surely scare them away.]
【However.】
【What he didn’t expect was. 】
[After the rebels discovered the imperial army, they did not flee or fight between the Yangtze River, Huai River, and Han River. Instead, they gathered together and marched towards Luoyang.]
【See this situation.】
[The governor of Pinglu sneered.]
[“Not only did you not run away, but you came towards me?”]
【“Injustice against the rebels.”】
[“Brave but foolish!”]
[“I feel… not as good as Yang Yi!”]
In the Golden Palace.
After Chen Huaixin stopped lying dormant.
All the ministers in the court stared at the Mirror of Heaven with their eyes fixed.
Previously, Chen Huaixin had shown extraordinary talent in recruiting militiamen and training soldiers. If he could show unique talent in leading troops in battle, he would be able to show extraordinary talent.
“That……”
“During the imperial examination.”
“The family that did something to him.”
“I’m afraid I’m going to be in big trouble!”
Many people thought silently in their hearts.
A person who is both civil and military.
Forced to rebel!
Then Ji Qingluo’s knife will definitely be stained with more blood!
These people naturally thought of this too!
They stared at the Mirror of Heaven and prayed in their hearts that Chen Huaixin had no talent at all in commanding the army!
And when you see.
When the Pinglu Jiedushi had already deployed his troops and was preparing to nibble at the Yuanju rebels, Chen Huaixin not only did not choose to flee, but instead headed towards Luoyang.
These people immediately felt relieved, and a look of disdain appeared on their faces.
“A scholar is just a scholar.”
“Maybe he saw some training methods from somewhere.”
“That’s why we were able to barely raise a rebel army.”
“But when we actually go to the battlefield.”
“That brain is nothing but a mess!”
They sneered.
As for the military attachés next to him, after seeing Chen Huaixin’s choice, there was no expectation on their faces.
The second princess Ji Changling shook her head and said, “What a pity! If he had continued to move between the Yangtze River, Huai River, and Han River, and gathered more people when he was fighting against the imperial court, he might have had a chance to directly defeat the governor of Pinglu. Now… he is just courting his own destruction!”
“Your Highness, Second Princess, even if I am a useless person, I will not be defeated in this way. Wandering between the Yangtze River, Huai River, Yellow River and Han River is just a way to survive a little longer. Sooner or later, you will be wiped out by me!” The governor of Pinglu could not help but speak.
In the future, when he first faced Yang Yi, he did not take him seriously, which led to his failure to surround and kill Yang Yi. Instead, he allowed Yang Yi to escape and raise the rebel army again.
After learning a lesson, he will face Chen Huaixin this time with the idea of ​​washing away the shame. No matter how capable Chen Huaixin is, he will not be able to escape his encroachment!
The Pinglu Jiedushi is very confident about this!
“But Chen Huaixin is an expert in poetry and lyrics! He dares to gather troops and head towards Luoyang. He must be absolutely sure of his success. He is not a fool, so why would he seek death?” The voice of the fifth princess Ji Changqing was rarely heard.
Hear her words.
Both her sisters and Ji Qingluo who was sitting on the dragon throne couldn’t help but sigh.
It seemed that in Ji Changqing’s view, Chen Huaixin was an expert in both poetry and lyrics, so no matter what he did, he would be successful. Even if he was surrounded in the Jiantian Mirror, he would surely be able to break out of the siege and even make his way to Chang’an!
“Fifth sister.”
“Don’t be too…”
“never mind.”
“Think what you like.”
The eldest princess Ji Changning no longer wanted to say anything.
The Chen Huaixin in Ji Changqing’s eyes and the Chen Huaixin in their eyes seemed to be two different people!
She shook her head and looked towards the Jiantian Mirror. Ji Qingluo was still guiding the country’s destiny and deducing the not-too-distant future.
【March, the second year of Wanhe.】
【Chen Huaixin started from Songzhou and led his troops to Luoyang.】
【Along the way.】
[No matter what kind of city it is. ]
[It is difficult to stop the unjust rebels for two days! ]
[Even though the Pinglu Jiedushi sent a vanguard army to help Chenliu County resist the Yuanju rebels, they only held out for one more day before Chenliu County was declared conquered.]
[The governor of Pinglu was shocked! ]
[He sent a large number of scouts to gather information, but only a few managed to return. They told him that the rebels in Yuanju had the help of the Thunder God. Whether they were fighting in the suburbs or defending the city, the Thunder God in the sky would help the rebels, causing the earth to shake and thunder to roar. When people and animals heard it, their hearts and livers would be torn apart!]
[And because the rebels of Yuanju only killed corrupt officials and local tyrants after entering the city, they would not touch the civilians at all, and would leave some troops in the city to exchange copper coins, open warehouses to distribute grain, distribute farmland, and even give more money and food to the widows and orphans! ]
[This means that even if the large army of the Yuanju rebels left the city, the people in the city would spontaneously support Chen Huaixin, and when faced with personnel secretly sent by the court, the people would even take the initiative to report them and arrest them! ]
【After hearing this information. 】
[The Pinglu Jiedushi fell into silence.]
at the same time.
The princess and ministers in the Golden Palace also fell into silence as they watched the future predicted by the Heavenly Mirror.
“Thunder God’s help?”
“this……”
“How is this possible!!!”
