"..."

Yan Wei said anxiously: "We are all thinking of ways."

"Your Majesty, the best we can do is defend the city. I'm afraid everything outside the city will be lost."

An air of depression enveloped Zhouse.

Someone came in and reported, "Your Majesty, an army is coming."

"Where did it come from?"

Yan Wei's eyes lit up.

People have already entered the state.

"Zhao Yong, I have met Lord Yan!"

Zhao Yong has long since lost his youthfulness. He looks steady but sharp, and his eyes are shining brightly as he turns.

After some mutual introductions, Yan Wei said happily, "How many people did General Zhao bring with him on this trip?"

"Two thousand!" Zhao Yong said.

"Two thousand? Too little!" Yan Wei said: "If Zhangzhou's powerful families impose their will, at least it can create a population of 100,000. Two thousand... is not enough!"

Zhao Yong said calmly: "In my eyes, a hundred thousand people are nothing more than local chickens and dogs!"

…

"If the foolish king doesn't give us a way to survive, then we will let him know the consequences of angering everyone in the world!"

Ding Fan stood outside the lobby with his sword in hand. Below him were the heads of several wealthy families in Zhangzhou, as well as some powerful men.

"Without the population, what do you and I have?" Ding Fan said: "That is our root. Whoever wants to cut off my root will make me sworn in with him. How do you wait?"

"The emperor is stupid, let's rebel!"

"Yes, rebel!"

Amid the excitement, Ding Fan said: "Who said we want to rebel?"

"Uh! Mr. Ding, is there a better way?"

Ding Fan pointed in the direction of Shu, "Don't forget, there is an emperor there, and that emperor is really nice to us."

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty is in Shu!"

Ding Fan pressed his hands and said: "We don't call this rebellion, we call it...!"

"It's wonderful to treat others the same way you treat them."

Ding Fan said: "We can have at least 20,000 troops in total. The Zhangzhou garrison is less than 3,000. Many of them are related to us..."

"Capture Zhangzhou and fight to Chang'an!"

"!"

…

The newly formed army of 20,000 people set off.

Morale is high.

Yan Wei has been feeling uneasy.

Zhao Yong was at ease.

Scouts kept bringing news.

"General, there are 20,000 people led by the Ding family, and they are coming this way."

Yan Wei looked at Zhao Yong, "What should we do? What should we do?"

"The troops will stop us, and the water will only cover us!"

Zhao Yong said calmly: "Is there anything unusual in the military camp?"

"Yes, several generals are discussing secretly!"

"Get them first!"

Zhao Yong led hundreds of cavalry into the military camp, and more than ten people below the captain were captured. After some torture, they learned that the Ding family and other families had already been in contact with them, and they only waited for the troops to approach the city to launch an attack. They cooperated internally and externally to break the city.

"He's actually a traitor?" Yan Wei was terrified after learning the confession.

"Your Majesty said that the network of connections between the rich and powerful is complicated, and the first thing to be wary of is not the rioters, but the traitors!"

Zhao Yong suppressed the garrison, and the rebels also arrived.

The 20,000 rioters look a bit like they are, at least the array is not chaotic.

It's just that the weapons are a bit mixed. A few people have swords and guns, and others have wooden spears or various knives.

Less armor.

"They're coming."

On the top of the city, Yan Wei and others had earth-colored faces.

"Open the city gate!" Zhao Yong said.

"What?" Yan Wei said, "Just wait patiently for reinforcements!"

"No reinforcements needed!"

Under the city, Ding Fan pointed his long knife at the city head and shouted: "The false emperor is going against the grain and will inevitably die a good death. If you wait until the door opens to surrender, it's still too late! Otherwise, if you break the city, you will die without a burial place!"

The city gate is open.

Everyone was ecstatic.

"Ding Gong is indeed very majestic! With just a few words, he ordered the defenders to surrender."

"If this continues, we'll be able to reach Chang'an soon!"

"No, what is that?"

The city gate is wide open.

Two thousand cavalry rushed out.

"God!"

Yan Wei couldn't help but close his eyes as he watched the two thousand cavalry charge towards the mob.

There were screams in my ears, followed by exclamations from around me.

"Come in!"

"Ah! Those rioters couldn't stop them for a moment?"

"Ding Fan ran away!"

"Two thousand to twenty thousand, so powerful!"

"Long live your Majesty!"

Yan Wei opened his eyes and saw that 20,000 people had herded their sheep and fled in all directions.

Two thousand cavalrymen chased with ease, constantly shouting for surrender.

Those who were slaves yesterday were kneeling everywhere.

"This is so damn... this is so damn good!"

Yan Wei was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted.
Chapter completed!
