Chapter 377 Jiangnan Rebellion
“If Qingyao and his men can take over Bashu, they can rely on Jianzhou and Weizhou, especially Weizhou, and go down the river and straight into the sea.”

She said: “When the time comes, we will advance by both land and sea. We will use large ships to transport the navy, sail out of the Wei River, turn north, and cooperate with our Xiliang cavalry to attack from the north and south, completely trapping the capital and the surrounding states.”

“In this way, whether we mobilize the main force to encircle and annihilate the imperial army, or gradually nibble away at it, we can be as stable as a rock.”

“Sister Ning Xi thinks long-term.”

Miaoyu smiled with her bright eyes, “Most of the world’s water and sea transportation is controlled by Huishan and Dongming Sect.”

“Now that both have surrendered to you and are serving under you, the strategy of attacking by land and sea is naturally feasible.”

“Sister Qingyao is not short of food and fodder, but only of weapons and war horses. A few days ago, the young master sent 30,000 sets of armor and weapons. According to the date, it will arrive in Jiangnan in a month at most.”

“Once they have conquered Bashu, they will switch from offense to defense, train their navy, build large ships, and prepare for a future encirclement.”

“My husband and sister must have thought of it a long time ago.”

Ning Xi said angrily, “But you’re still hiding it from me. Are you afraid that I’ll cause trouble?”

“You girl.”

Miaoyu smiled and said, “What did I hide from you? It’s not very useful because I’ve been busy checking the military deployment of the Military Affairs Department recently. I don’t have time to talk about such a small matter.”

“Besides, with your intelligence, how could you not see it? Why bother with this?”

Ning Xi smiled and said, “I don’t care. My sister will definitely give me some compensation tomorrow.”

“Give, give.”

Miaoyu nodded.

After being busy for many days in a row, the girls were all a little tired, especially Cao Ruixue, who was yawning continuously.

However, they still managed to review all the deployments, and after confirming that they were correct, they sent them back to the Military Affairs Department.

After the Military Affairs Department and the Xiliang Prefecture Yamen meet and discuss and confirm that everything is correct, they can then stamp the seal.

The Central Plains court was held back by Qingyao and Xue Changqing and had no time to look north. The following period was the confrontation between Xiliang and Northern Wei.

If the Northern Wei won, it could take a breath, or even make a comeback. If the Western Liang won, the Northern Wei would never have a chance to turn things around.

This is a big war.

A shocking battle.

The number of troops deployed by both sides is almost reaching one million, and they are the elite among the elite.

The winner or loser depends on who has better skills.

Inside the knife-grinding hall.

Xiao Han sat cross-legged, an ethereal aura emanating from his entire body. He was practicing the Dragon Elephant Immortal Fist.

In this battle, if nothing unexpected happens, Helian Bobo, the military god of the Northern Wei Dynasty who has been in seclusion for a long time, will definitely come out.

After all, no one dared to be careless in a battle that would determine the fate of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Moreover, his enemies were far more than just Helian Bobo.

You have to be 100% sure.

After the autumn harvest, Xiliang began to mobilize troops on a large scale and sent more people to Fancheng.

More and more troops are gathering on the border between Xiliang and Northern Wei, and even a fool can see it.

A shocking war is about to break out in the north, and this war may well determine the future situation in the world.

In the great war between Xiliang and Northern Wei, the Dongyue Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River was restored. The imperial army was defeated step by step, and the Northern Wei army won battle after battle, with an unstoppable momentum.

Many people have keenly realized that the world is about to be swept by bloody storm, but in this storm, there is still no news about the most important people.

For the entire year, Xiliang King Xiao Han had not shown up, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. In Shuiyun Mountain, all matters of the Xiliang Palace were managed by Miaoyu and Ningxi.

Where is this King of Xiliang?
Whether it is inside Shuiyun Mountain or there is some other hidden secret, countless spies go in and out of Xiliang every day, trying to find some clues.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t enter Shuiyun Mountain at all, and even Xiliang City was difficult to enter.

There have been frequent wars in the south of the Yangtze River, and coupled with the poor harvests in various places this year, some places have experienced severe droughts for several months, while others have suffered from floods one after another.

As a result, many refugees were displaced. In the early years, Jiangnan, as the largest granary of the imperial court, provided a lot of grain to various parts of the country every year.

But this year, Qingyao and Xue Changqing started an uprising in Jiangnan, and many granaries fell into their hands.

In addition, due to frequent wars, grain from the south of the Yangtze River could not be transported out, and many refugees revolted in various places.

In just a few months, the Central Plains imperial court had reached such a precarious state.

Capital.

Imperial City.

The emperor looked haggard and his eyes were red. He paced back and forth in the hall. All the civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads and exchanged glances with each other, but no one spoke a word.

“The Jiangnan region is in chaos.”

“Where did Qingyao, this remnant, get so many troops and weapons?”

The emperor was furious, “It has not been investigated yet…”

“And the troops sent by the Ministry of War to quell the rebellion didn’t win a single battle.”

“waste.”

“It’s all garbage.”

“What’s the point of me raising you? None of you can be trusted.”

These words made all the civil and military officials in the court silent, and many of them blushed, but there were also many people who looked calm but sneered in their hearts.

What to fight with?
Everyone knows that behind Qingyao is the King of Xiliang. Could so many weapons, war horses and elite soldiers from the old Dongyue army have appeared out of thin air?

Everyone knows that the restoration of the Kingdom of Dongyue was manipulated by the King of Xiliang behind the scenes, and even the weapons, horses, and soldiers came from Xiliang.

But no one dared to say it, at least these people didn’t dare to say it. If they said it and angered the King of Xiliang, they would only die.

“His Majesty.”

The white-haired Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy stepped out and said earnestly: “It is useless to investigate where these weapons came from. The most important thing is to cut off the rebels’ support, find the channel through which they transport the weapons, and cut it off.”

“The situation in Jiangnan is getting worse and worse, and there are many people responding to it from all over the country. Only by suppressing it with thunder and lightning can we deter those tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves. Otherwise, the world will be in danger.”

“Don’t I understand what you’re saying?”

The emperor gnashed his teeth and said, “But several months have passed and we haven’t even found Xue Changqing’s food supply route. Who else can put down the rebellion?”

“Generals like you are usually more arrogant than the other, but when it comes to recruiting people, you are more useless than the other.”

“Minister Gu.”

The emperor looked at the Minister of War with red eyes and said coldly: “I will give you 100,000 soldiers and horses. Within three months, you may be able to put down the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River.”

“No.”

Minister Gu shook his head: “On the surface, the chaos in Jiangnan was caused by Qingyao, the princess of Dongyue, who restored her country, but in reality, it is extremely complicated.”

“There are quite a few people behind this, and there are many hidden forces in Jiangnan who are helping them, otherwise it wouldn’t be getting worse and worse.”

“Your Majesty, the situation in several states in the south of the Yangtze River is a mixed bag, with many aristocratic families, as well as the martial arts world, which is complicated and intertwined.”
