Chapter 2770: Civil War in the Empire

Chapter 2770 Civil War in the Empire

Ling Yuan's team was expanded to 30,000 people.

Many people were screened and did not meet the requirements of the Sharp Knife Group, so they were directly given to Ling Yuan.

After that, Ye Tiandao eliminated another 20,000 people, bringing Ling Yuan's team to 50,000 people.

Pei Yong's army has expanded to 1.5 million.

He, Xiao Yunfang, and Meng Qingyin each led an army of 500,000 and continued to advance towards the imperial capital.

However, after Ye Liuyun left the imperial capital, the chaos in the imperial capital did not end.

Those big forces, especially those who lost all their wealth, would naturally ask the empire to give an explanation. If they could not find the thief, they would not agree to unseal the imperial capital.

This also made Ye Liuyun's recruitment of martial arts masters go smoothly, and the empire had no time to interfere with him.

And the empire was also bitter.

Their treasure house was also stolen.

But the empire could not leak this news, so as not to cause greater chaos.

If those big forces knew about it, perhaps they would join hands to overthrow Liu Qiang's rule together.

Emperor Liu Qiang also stopped practicing at this time and came out to take charge of the situation.

The gold-armored and silver-armored guards in the palace were all on standby at all times.

Other small forces also followed the big forces to make trouble. Even if they didn't lose anything, they all said that they lost something and asked the empire to pay compensation together.

The excuses of these big and small forces were the same, that the empire should be responsible for the safety of the imperial capital.

Now that everyone's family in the imperial capital has been robbed, the empire should be responsible for compensation.

Then the empire will track down the thieves and recover the resources.

Liu Qiang also asked the silver-armored guards to search for suspicious people every day.

Almost all the idle people in the imperial capital were arrested and interrogated, but there was no news of the thieves.

Liu Qiang certainly knew that it was Ye Liuyun who did it.

But now he has to pretend to do it.

If he points out that it was Ye Liuyun who did it, those big forces will have to make him pay compensation.

At that time, these families will definitely say that he provoked Ye Liuyun and implicated them.

They dare not go to Ye Liuyun, so they can only unite to settle accounts with the empire.

However, he was indeed curious about how Ye Liuyun did it, how he could steal so many families at once, and even disappear in the imperial capital.

The imperial capital has been sealed for half a month, and it still cannot be lifted. Those big forces do not agree.

The news has spread all over the empire.

Ye Liuyun has been seizing the time to recruit people, recruit soldiers, and rob planets.

He even showed up in person to recruit martial arts masters to get rid of the suspicion of stealing resources.

In the end, Liu Qiang was also annoyed by these big forces.

"Since you are unreasonable, don't blame me for being rude!"

When he thought of this, he also took action against a big force that led the most trouble. 20,000 golden armored guards were dispatched, and 100,000 silver armored guards were dispatched to completely wipe out that big family.

All family resources were confiscated.

Liu Qiang's strong suppression made other forces afraid on the surface, but they secretly united more closely to study how to overthrow Liu Qiang's rule.

Their families have been emptied now. If they don't rob the empire or other small forces, they can't survive.

So just when Liu Qiang thought everything was fine and was about to announce the unblocking of the imperial capital, these big forces actually joined forces to rush into the imperial palace and caused civil strife.

In this way, Liu Qiang didn't dare to unblock the imperial capital again. He could only destroy these big forces first and then start a bloodbath in the city.

Liu Qiang also took action against the small forces that had been making trouble before, and robbed them by the way, which could make up for his losses to some extent.

But these big and small forces, their family forces are not only in the capital, but their branches are all over the place.

After learning that their main line was destroyed by the empire, they immediately surrendered to Ye Liuyun to avoid the empire's subsequent liquidation of them.

These forces even took the initiative to rob the city lord's mansion before surrendering, and offered all the resources of the city lord's mansion to Ye Liuyun as protection fees.

So Ye Liuyun did nothing and got more support.

The army advanced faster and occupied more planets.

And he did not leave anything for the empire at all. He would take the planets directly after occupying them, or take away the original power directly and let the planets collapse.

The civil strife of the major forces in the empire also involved the army.

Liu Haotian, Meng Wenxiang and more than 20 other commanders of all sizes were the children of the major forces that made trouble, so they were stripped of their powers on the spot.

Fortunately, the other commanders did not make things difficult for them.

And Han Qiao led his troops to protect Liu Haotian and Meng Wenxiang.

Meng Wenxiang's army also followed Han Qiao to protect their commanders, so it was difficult for the empire to decide how to deal with Liu Haotian and other commanders for a while.

Han Qiao lost the command of Liu Haotian and Meng Wenxiang, and he had no idea himself, so he could only ask Ye Liuyun for help.

Ye Liuyun rushed over immediately and asked Liu Haotian and Meng Wenxiang for their opinions first.

Because he wanted to save people, he had to get their consent.

Otherwise, if he forcibly rescued them, it would ruin their reputation and make them completely traitors.

Finally, Liu Haotian decided to stay, even if he died, to show his loyalty to the empire.

Meng Wenxiang decided to join Ye Liuyun.

His family was gone, and he had no scruples anymore, and he didn't want to be loyal to the empire anymore.

Han Qiao was the same, and wanted to surrender to Ye Liuyun directly.

Liu Haotian also agreed with Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao's approach, and asked them to follow Ye Liuyun in the future.

Not only Meng Wenxiang and Liu Haotian, but other captured commanders also unanimously asked Ye Liuyun to rescue them together.

Ye Liuyun did not refuse, anyway, it was just a matter of convenience.

After that, Meng Wenxiang, Han Qiao and Liu Haotian shed tears and said goodbye, and directly took their 400,000 troops to surrender to Ye Liuyun.

Several other commanders also surrendered to Ye Liuyun and brought 200,000 troops. Some of the others did not bring troops and fled directly, and some only fled with some personal guards.

In this way, Ye Liuyun went to the military camp and brought back 600,000 troops.

No one in the imperial army dared to stop Ye Liuyun, and could only watch the 600,000 troops being taken away by Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun took them back, he still let Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao take charge of the 600,000 troops and let them manage them themselves.

It just changed the number to become the Wolf Hunting Corps.

Liu Qiang was furious when he got the information.

The recent events were bad enough, and now even the army was reduced by 600,000. How could he not be angry! The army was not enough to begin with, and now it was even less.

So he vented his anger on Liu Haotian, thinking that he was not strict with his subordinates and encouraged them to defect, and ordered him to be executed.

Then, he remembered Liu Haotian's suggestion and asked the silver-armored guards to take action and began to capture a large number of martial artists from large and small families to serve as soldiers to quickly replenish the troops.
