Chapter 569 Arrival
"Father, the rebels have arrived in Jinling and will reach Zhaoyang Pass within ten days.
In Beihai, the young man Lingbao came to report with a spear. In the hall, a group of officials looked nervous, and their eyes were all focused on the King of Beidi.
"Ten days." The King of Beidi was naturally calm, his eyes focused on the map in front of him, thinking a little.
"Beihai is not far from Kyoto. In ten days, I will lead a hurried march and should be able to arrive before the rebels enter the city." Lingbao bowed, "I will help Kyoto stop the rebels first, and father will lead the army behind. When father arrives, we will definitely be able to defeat the rebels."
"Young Master, don't be impulsive." Before the King of Beidi could express his opinion, his military advisor had already stood up: "The rebels are numerous and powerful. Although Beihai can stop them, the cost is huge and it is not appropriate."
"Not appropriate? "Hearing this, Lingbao was stunned. In the past few years, he has been devoted to cultivation and did not know much about the human race in the court. At this moment, he was just confused.
"The court is in Kyoto. Now the rebels are coming aggressively. As subjects, we should defend the dignity of the court. How can it be appropriate or not?"
"This." The military advisor looked a little embarrassed. He looked at the King of Beidi who was silent on the side. After a little consideration, he forced a smile and said, "Young Master is eager to defend the court. We are the same. However, the human race is changing now, and there are many disloyal people. Although Beidi is rich and powerful, it is inevitable that people will think about it. Therefore, we need to consider carefully when we act and mobilize."
"Why should we be cautious..." Lingbao muttered, and wanted to ask questions. On the side, the King of Beidi said, "Lingbao, go and count the situation of our armies first."
"Okay. "Lingbao didn't ask any more questions about the King of Beidi's order. He nodded and agreed, and walked down quickly.
Watching Lingbao walk down, the King of Beidi nodded slightly and said to the people beside him: "Lingbao is dedicated to serving the human race. Don't tell him our plan first."
"Got it." The military advisor replied, and also thought: "We should still arrange it according to the previous plan."
"Yeah." The King of Beidi nodded, "Our plan remains unchanged."
"I don't know if Kyoto can withstand the pressure." Another official said: "Kyoto doesn't have many troops. It is estimated that the total number of troops that can be mobilized will not exceed one million."
"They can definitely withstand it. Ningxiachuan is here, and there is also the kid from the Ye family." The King of Beidi was not worried about the officials' ideas. "With these two crazy people, one big and one small, the headache should be the rebels."
"That's right. "When these words came out, several officials around laughed.
Ye Fan and the others didn't know too much, Ning Xiachuan was really crazy.
"I don't know what conditions Ye Fan and Ning Xiachuan reached, but he was willing to be the fuse of this chaos." The military advisor was a little confused: "According to the description of Ye Fan by the King of Beidi, he shouldn't get involved with Ning Xiachuan, and this is not a smart choice."
"Maybe it's hard to get off the tiger, but it has nothing to do with us."
The atmosphere eased a lot, and the King of Beidi also stood up, and didn't get entangled in the military advisor's questions: "Okay, just do your own job well, we have been waiting for many years, and we must seize this opportunity."
"If the time is right, I would like to go to the south to take a look."
...
"The rebels have arrived at Zhaoyang Pass."
"Led by the seven kings, three million troops have gathered outside Zhaoyang Pass. "
In the court, several days passed, and finally, the news that the rebels were approaching the city came.
The officials were all anxious. Ye Fan was at the front of the officials. At this time, he seemed calm, just looking at King Wen on the seat, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"Bold gangster, how dare you do this!"
Ning Xiachuan pretended to be angry as expected, and after a burst of cursing, he threw out the token in his hand.
"Ye Fan, the commander of the city guards, orders you to lead 500,000 city guards to stop the rebels inside the pass."
"I will lead other officials to supervise the battle, and we must kill the rebels."
The token was thrown out and hit the ground with a crisp sound. Ye Fan bent down, picked up the token, and at the same time, responded: "City Guard Ye Fan, listen to the order! "
Grabbing the token, Ye Fan flicked his sleeves, said nothing more, and walked out of the hall decisively.
The war came faster than expected, but it seemed very slow. Many people had prepared early, but when it really came, they couldn't help but feel nervous.
The hall fell into a little panic. Ning Xiachuan rarely got serious at this time. He issued orders one by one, connecting all the energy that the entire Kyoto could mobilize.
Kyoto still has the power. After so many years of brewing, even if many people ran away early when the chaos came, the remaining troops gathered together, still more than 500,000.
In addition to Ye Fan's 500,000 city guards, they have more than one million soldiers.
"General Ning." In the midst of this anxiety, an official trembled and said, "Do we need to go to the front line too?"
"Of course I have to go. I have promised Ye Fan to go and supervise the war." Ning Xiachuan replied, his eyes swept over the people in front of him: "Everyone must go, no one can be absent."
"This, this, this. "Ning Xiachuan's words naturally made the officials more terrified.
There are not many brave people among them, otherwise, Ning Xiachuan would not have been able to enter the court so smoothly. Now Ning Xiachuan asked them to go to the front line, which is tantamount to sending them to death.
"General Ning, the court still needs someone to take care of it. If we all go..."
"Kyoto is about to disappear, what about the court." Ning Xiachuan refused outright. At this time, there was a coldness in his eyes: "As important officials of the human race, don't you often say that you are born for the human race and the country. "???
"Since you were born for the country of the human race, now that the country is in danger, you should also die for the country."
...
"The war has begun."
In Kyoto, the army is about to leave the city, and Ye Fan is in the lead, wearing armor and riding a horse.
The army is tense, and Ning Mengnian is obviously infected by the solemnity and holds his weapon tightly.
On both sides of the road are the residents of Kyoto City. Most of them have heard something and know that the war is just around the corner. At this time, many people are carrying things to hand over to the army along the way.
"Commander Ye, have two more oranges."
Ye Fan and his men are also the key targets of delivery, and the vendors who often deliver oranges to Ye Fan and his men are also there.
At this time, the army set off, and he did not dare to stop it. He held his little daughter and trotted along with Ye Fan's mount, while trying to hand out the oranges in his hand.
Ye Fan did not respond. He was reluctant to take it, but seeing that the vendor was reluctant to chase, he stopped his horse and took the oranges.
"Oranges are quite sweet." After eating the oranges, Ye Fan spoke up and rubbed the child's head. "Kyoto City is not safe. I have lifted the ban in the city. Your child is very cute. Take her away as soon as possible."
"The commander is still fighting for the human race. How can we, the common people, turn our backs and run away?" The vendor answered quickly without pausing, as if he had thought of this answer a long time ago.
This answer made Ye Fan slightly stunned. He looked at the vendor and said, "I was ordered by Ningxiachuan to build a pseudo-dynasty. You said I was fighting for the human race. How do you know?"
"We don't know whether it is a pseudo-dynasty or not. We only know that since Commander Ye took office, Kyoto has been the best and most stable Kyoto in the past few decades." The vendor answered. On the side, the crowd surged and pushed him away. Soon, they were separated from Ye Fan.
"Commander, just fight to the death. We all believe that you will win."
"When the army returns, I will bring you oranges."
"..."
The vendor was still talking, but the crowded crowd gradually pushed him away.
Ye Fan stood there, pausing for a while, but Ning Mengnian came over: "It seems that everyone hopes that we can win."
Ye Fan did not answer, but stood there for a long time before he put the remaining oranges in his hand into his pocket, and then turned around and got on the horse.
"I also hope that we can win."
