I traveled through time and space and encountered a famine, and I became a hermit.

Chapter 473: Troubled Military Movements

After the New Year holiday, everyone's life returned to normal.

The emperor even issued several decrees in succession to benefit the people.

The ministers in the court also cooperated with each other to implement these policies thoroughly.

With the implementation of favorable policies, people's lives are getting better and better, and their days are becoming more and more hopeful.

The rebellious army, which had always been a concern of the imperial court, also began to become restless.

Since they all hid their identities and sneaked into Daxia, they openly caused chaos a few times at the beginning, but were defeated one by one.

They then turned to secretly developing their own power, initially using benefits to lure people, but as the court continued to implement new policies, the benefits they offered were no longer enough to attract people's hearts.

On several occasions, his people were reported and purged for secretly developing their power.

After several unsuccessful attempts, he could only use his existing connections to find leverage over those officials.

Use the evidence to force them to join and work for you.

However, as the new policies were implemented one by one, some officials, after being threatened, even considered confessing their crimes and committing suicide to protect their families.

As a result, the rebel leader suffered repeated losses of men.

His colleagues had already completely occupied Deng State last year.

The clearing plan is also in full swing.

A few days ago, he even sent a mocking letter, asking if he needed help.

The leader of the rebel army was originally dismissive, but at this time he received a letter from the Holy Emperor.

It turned out that it was his good colleague who had reported him to the Holy Emperor many times.

This caused the Holy Emperor to hold him accountable and demand that he take over Da Xia within this year.

After reading the letter, the leader of the rebel army slammed it on the table with a "bang".

He gnashed his teeth and said, "You villain! You are such a villain! You actually reported me to the Holy Emperor."

"Lord, please calm down!" the followers advised.

"How can I calm down! Because this villain filed a complaint, and now the Holy Emperor has issued a clear decree that we must conquer Daxia within this year.

But with our current strength, it is not easy to conquer Daxia." The lord said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the followers shut up.

You look at me, I look at you, and we are all at a loss for a moment.

If the lord gives them clear orders, they can do a good job.

But asking them to give advice on such a big matter would really be a bit difficult for them.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Military Advisor Chen, who had remained silent.

The Lord also looked at Military Advisor Chen, "Military Advisor, do you have any ideas?"

Military Advisor Chen's cold face showed a rare trace of embarrassment. "My Lord, with our current strength, it may not be easy to conquer Daxia.

But looking at the current situation in Daxia, if we delay any further, it will be even more disadvantageous to us.

Now, if we want to completely conquer Daxia, we can only ask for foreign aid.

I am afraid that my lord will suffer some grievances, so I ask my lord to go to Deng State in person and ask for help from the lord of Deng State and ask him to send troops for support.

First, they created war on the border, and second, they sent people into Daxia to help us.

As for the rest of us, we can continue to develop our power while negotiating with Lord Deng, focusing primarily on officials in the court and those in the palace.

As long as we can control half of the power in the court of Daxia, we can then follow the example of Lord Deng and replace the royal family of Daxia.

After replacing the royal family, they killed all opponents, and then used heavy taxes and tyranny to slowly wear down the people.

As long as we can take control of Daxia, we will have fulfilled the will of the Holy Emperor."

After hearing this, the leader of the rebel army pondered for a long time.

“Your idea is good, but it is almost impossible to realize.

That villain from Deng State has already complained about me to the Holy Emperor many times. He wants me dead, so how can he help me? "

"My lord, the Lord of Deng is far inferior to you in strength, intelligence and courage.

The reason why he was able to take control of Deng State so smoothly was thanks to the help of his lord.

I think he knows it all in his heart.

If we hadn't explored the correct path ahead of them, they wouldn't have been able to carry out the clearing plan so smoothly.

Complaining repeatedly is nothing more than the bad guys complaining first, which is just a manifestation of guilty conscience.

The lord can promise him great benefits, and satisfy him first no matter what request he makes, so that he will help us willingly.

As for other matters, we can deal with them after we take the initiative."

After listening to this, the leader of the rebel army pondered for a while. His other trusted followers also whispered and discussed it in private.

Military Advisor Chen observed his lord's expression, and seeing him sometimes frowning and sometimes sighing, he knew that his lord still had concerns in his heart.

Then he said, "My lord, there is actually another benefit to doing this."

"Oh? What else is there? Tell me all about it."

"My lord, even the strategy I just mentioned cannot guarantee the success of taking down Daxia.

If the plan fails, we will have to withdraw from Daxia.

By then, whether the lord returns to his country or goes to Deng State, he will have a way out. "

"What do you mean? If we fail, can we still return to our homeland?" The leader of the rebel army thought of the Holy Emperor's methods and asked worriedly.

“If we can get Lord Deng in, we can go back.

If we return in defeat, the Holy Emperor will certainly hold us accountable, and we can then put the blame for our failure on Lord Deng."

"The Holy Emperor is so wise. Besides, that villain from Deng country has already told the Holy Emperor everything I did. If that day comes, how can I get rid of this guilt?"

"Things naturally need to be done by people. At that time, the lord will just have to promise huge benefits to the Holy Emperor's confidant.

Go back first, state your achievements, and then emphasize that it was Lord Deng's instigation that led to the failure of the plan. I think things will turn around.

If the lord thinks it is inappropriate, it is not easy for us to get close to the emperor of Daxia, but is it not easy to get close to the lord of Deng? By then, it will still be a merit to rob Deng.

As for merits and demerits, one is written by the victor.”

Seeing that his lord and everyone else were looking thoughtful, Military Advisor Chen said no more and waited for his lord's decision.

Anyway, he has come up with the idea, and this is the only way to solve the dilemma at the moment.

Whether to adopt it or not depends on the lord's intention.

The leader of the rebel army imagined the situation he was facing now, and his power was being constantly squeezed.

Now it is extremely difficult to take another step forward.

Since that’s the case, we might as well give it a try.

Just as Military Advisor Chen said, if he could get the Lord of Deng to help him, if he won, after he took control of Daxia, it would not be impossible for him to take over Deng as well.

If we fail completely, we can also bring down the villain from Deng State as well.

If you want to make his life difficult, then no one else will have an easy life!

Thinking of this, the leader of the rebel army adopted the suggestion of Military Advisor Chen.

With the help of Military Advisor Chen, he drafted a letter full of sincere words and praise.

Send someone to escort it to the capital of Deng State at full speed.
