Chapter 193 The situation in the court
At the same time, inside Qiandu, the morning glow had not yet completely dissipated.

The atmosphere in the court of the Daqian Dynasty was already solemn.

The Daqian Emperor Si Xiaofei sat on the dragon throne with a face as gloomy as water.

There was an undisguised look of shock and anger in his eyes.

"His Majesty!"

"A secret report came from Yanzhou that the King of Yan was planning a rebellion, and his Chiyu Army has begun to prepare for war!"

A loyal minister hurried into the court, knelt down in front of Si Xiaofei, and reported in a trembling voice.

Si Xiaofei stood up suddenly, snatched the military newspaper, and quickly scanned the text on it.

Although he had expected it, he still felt a palpitation when the moment finally arrived.

King Yan, the king of a different surname who has always given him a headache.

Finally, he embarked on the road of rebellion.

"It's finally here?!"

He stood up suddenly, looked at the officials of the Daqian court below, and said expressionlessly.

"The King of Yan has already secretly gathered his troops and will march straight to Qiandu at the command!"

The close minister lowered his head even lower, with a hint of fear in his voice.

"boom!"

Si Xiaofei angrily slapped the armrest of the dragon throne, and the entire court seemed to be shaken.

All the civil and military officials in the court were silent at this moment, for they knew very well that the emperor's anger was extraordinary.

For a moment, the court was silent, with only Si Xiaofei's angry breathing echoing in the air.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"It is abominable that the Flame King rebelled, but Your Majesty, please take care of your health and do not let this hurt your Majesty's heart."

Prime Minister Kang Zhengjie of Daqian slowly stepped out and bowed to comfort them.

Si Xiaofei took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

He knew that he had to remain calm and sober at this moment.

"My dear old minister, in your opinion, how should I respond?"

He glanced at Kang Zhengjie and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion of King Yan is inevitable. The most urgent task is to mobilize troops as soon as possible and go to Yanzhou to quell the rebellion."

"At the same time, we also need to strengthen Qiandu's city defenses just in case."

Kang Zhengjie raised his head slightly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and answered in a deep voice.

Si Xiaofei nodded in agreement.

"Does the old minister have any recommendations for that candidate?"

Si Xiaofei frowned.

Now, most of the power controlled by the Daqian Dynasty has been deployed to the three battlefields of the Yellow Turban Army.

Others include the armies of the three kings of different surnames.

Not only was it of no help at all.

A part of the army must be allocated to guard against them.

The current Daqian Dynasty is indeed unable to spare any extra troops.

Not to mention suppressing a behemoth like the Prince Yan's Palace.

Giants like the Yanwang Mansion have been operating for hundreds of years.

It has long been deeply rooted in the Daqian Dynasty.

Even during the heyday of the Daqian Dynasty.

It takes a lot of effort to suppress it.

Not to mention the current Daqian.

The Chiyu Army is located in Yanzhou, which is adjacent to Qianzhou.

Although it is not as strong as the Jiuxiao Army which is located alone in Yunzhou, one of the two states in the East.

Need to face the pressure from the Dayong Dynasty alone.

Therefore, the number of the main force is less than the 300,000 combat-capable soldiers of the Jiuxiao Army.

But it also has an army of 180,000.

Plus the hidden trump card of Prince Yan’s Palace.

It is still possible to gather an elite army of more than 200,000.

But the armies of the ancient world were not just combat armies.

In addition there are the auxiliary troops, logistics, etc. of the Chiyu Army.

To say that there were 600,000 troops was an understatement. "Your Majesty, the Yellow Turban Army in the Ruizhou battle has been defeated."

"Even the bandit leader Zhang Jue in Luzhou was frightened by the news and has already shifted the focus of the Yellow Turban Army to Daxuan in the south."

"On the battlefield of Luzhou today, the Yellow Turban Army has already given up a large amount of territory and retreated to one place."

"Therefore, Your Majesty can order a portion of the rebellion-suppressing troops to return to Qianzhou."

Kang Zhengjie bowed slightly and said in a deep voice.

"Well, let's follow the old prime minister's advice."

"Convey my order and order Tan Mengjun from the Ruizhou battlefield and Gong Xiaochuan and others from the Luzhou battlefield to lead 150,000 troops back to Qianzhou."

"Together with the 50,000 elite troops at the Yanzhou border and the 200,000 auxiliary county troops, the total is 500,000 troops."

"Go to Yanzhou immediately to quell the rebellion and capture King Yan and his followers!"

Si Xiaofei nodded, turned to the many generals below him, and gave orders coldly.

"I will obey your orders!"

Many military generals in the court responded and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, I have something unclear."

"Although the Flame King is ambitious, he has never dared to act rashly. Why did he suddenly rebel this time?"

However, at this moment, a civil servant stood up and said with a worried look on his face.

"I naturally know the reason behind this."

"Over the years, my exploitation and oppression of Yanzhou has indeed been too severe, causing King Yan to be dissatisfied."

"Coupled with the instigation and incitement of some people with ulterior motives, King Yan finally couldn't hold back and chose to rebel."

Si Xiaofei frowned, thought for a moment and then answered coldly.

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the officials in the court changed.

"Your Majesty, I am concerned that the rebellion of King Yan may be just the beginning."

"As the three kings of different surnames, there are many things involved."

"If the mastermind behind the rebellion of King Yan is the other two kings of different surnames."

"Then, if Daqian doesn't respond."

"The consequences could be disastrous!"

Ning Yunyi, the Minister of Revenue of Daqian, stepped forward with a serious expression.

"Three princesses have been sent out to stabilize Cangzhou for the time being."

"Plus, the Jiuxiao Army is now eyeing the civil strife in Dayong."

"Therefore, Su Ye of Cangzhou and King Yun of Yunzhou in the two states of the East Land do not need to worry for the time being."

Listening to the concerns of Minister of Revenue Ning Yunyi, Si Xiaofei pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"In addition, the Night King in the North may be ready to make a move."

"Preach my will."

"Order Grand Master Gu to mobilize the troops to guard the two states in the East."

"Go north to guard against the Night King in the northern border."

"If there is any change in the northern border, we must stop the enemy outside Qianzhou!"

Then Si Xiaofei thought of the Night King in the northern border.

I had a headache for a moment, but I wasn't too panicked.

At present, Daqian's trump card Gu Changqing and the 100,000 elite troops guarding Qianzhou have not made any moves.

Daqian has not yet reached the end of its rope.

As the main force of the Taiping Sect's Yellow Turban Army moved south.

The resistance of Meng Zhang from Luzhou and Meng Huwang from Wuzhou was no longer comparable to before.

This also means that Daqian does not need to stockpile nearly one million troops of the entire dynasty in the south.

As the pressure from the Yellow Turban Army subsided.

Even if Daqian only deployed half of its troops from the south.

That is an army of nearly 500,000 capable of fighting.

Daqian is one of the most powerful dynasties among the five dynasties.

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

No matter how chaotic it is, the cards in your hand are still rich.

This is not something that can be compared to the Da Sheng, a country that has fallen to the point where even the dynasty can bully it.
