One day later, the army in charge of attacking Yamatai was led into Yamatai by Beimihu himself. They started to follow the unrecorded verbal agreement and took over the security of the city.
The next day, Sei Itō stayed in Yamatai for another day and enjoyed a threesome with two witches. He left Yamatai and went to other places where the Japanese army was attacking. He also helped them destroy one or two so-called countries. After that, he used the Flying Thunder God technique to return to Huaxia and appeared in the Chang 'an Palace.
What followed was a period of calm and tranquility.
However, this situation did not last long. On this morning, a widely circulated document of rebellion was circulated throughout the 13 provinces of the Great Han Dynasty.
"… Rebellion against the Chen Dynasty, the righteous Shuo of the Han Dynasty, the Heavenly Treasure, is not the righteous path … Today, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty cannot bear to see the world lose its righteous path and its people perish. He is willing to rebel against the might of the Chen Dynasty and summons all righteous people to gather in Huaxia to fight against the Chen Dynasty!"
In an instant, the nobles who were ready to accept the rule of the Great Han Dynasty were shocked and responded to the summons.
"Liangzhou's Ma Chao, Hedong's Wei, Sili's Yang, Jingzhou's Zhang, Changsha's Sun, Hebei's Yuan, Hebei's Zhang, Youzhou's Gongsun, and other small clans, and Youzhou's Governor Liu Yu … Oh right, there's also the Taihang Yellow Turbans who are supposed to be thieves. Ha ~ What a big lineup." Sei Itō could not help but laugh as he looked at the families who were summoned by Ren Meimei.
"I didn't expect that these people would accept the Yellow Turbans." Ren Meimei sighed.
"The Yellow Turbans are also a form of power. They are also good cannon fodder. There's no reason for them to not make use of them. Moreover, they don't have to pay anything. Just the reputation of being good citizens can fool an army of nearly 200,000. Why not? "Sei Itō chuckled as he threw the document on the table in front of him.
"Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?" Ren Meimei looked at Sei Itō and asked.
"Let the troops wait for two more days and see if there's anyone else who wants to join. We have to give some people a chance to respond." Sei Itō smiled.
"Yes." Ren Meimei replied and then said with some regret, "It's a pity that the four major families of Jiangdong did not respond. We'll have one less chance to deal with them openly. "
Sei Itō pondered for a moment and decided, "Hmm … let's do it this way. We'll have Yangzhou begin the reorganization of the aristocratic families in our borders in advance. We'll force them a little."
"If that's the case, I'm afraid all the aristocratic families in the world will rebel." Ren Meimei said worriedly.
As a citizen of Da Hua who was born in the Tang Dynasty, she naturally knew what Sei Itō meant by the rectification of the aristocratic families — cleaning up the crimes and reorganizing the land. There were also other, more detailed arrangements that could divide the great clans. All of these things touched the sensitive nerves of the great clans, especially the consolidation of the land. This was something that could shake the foundations of the great clans. At the very least, the Great Tang's Great Hua had been established for several years. It was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but when carrying out this work, it still forced several great clans to disregard their strength and take the risk of rebelling, not to mention now that they were in a time of chaos.
Moreover, there was Liu Xie, who was standing in front of them for the sake of righteousness, so it was no exaggeration to say that it would force all the great clans in the thirteen provinces of the Han Dynasty to unite and rebel.
"Then let them rebel." Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Ito Sei's face. "It just so happens that it can help us relieve some of our work. Don't forget, our foundation is not the local army outside, but the entire Great Hua Empire and the countless soldiers in the Great Hua Empire who are ready to go. "
"I was muddle-headed," Ren Meimei said in embarrassment.
…
Sure enough, in the following days, a few more famous or obscure aristocratic families sent their private armies to Zhuo County in Youzhou Province secretly to form an alliance with the Emperor, the aristocratic families, and the feudal vassals.
This situation lasted until the end of April before it finally came to an end.
But at this moment … An even more shocking piece of news came out. Yangzhou's Zhu, Gu, Lu, and Zhang families allied with dozens of small and medium aristocratic families. They worked together with Wild Path Yu Ji to encourage the people to rebel against the Great Hua Empire. They expressed their willingness to respond to the Emperor's decree and use the power of the entire province to rebel against the Great Hua Empire.
As a result, it was only a call to arms. Thus, the Emperor regained Youzhou and Yangzhou without wasting a single soldier. This made the aristocratic families and officials in the alliance very excited. They believed that this was the blessing of the heavens and the will of the people. It proved that the Great Hua Empire was the true ruler and swept away the pressure they felt from Jing Province.
It turned out that in the hearts of the Han Dynasty's ministers, obtaining two provinces was a piece of cake. After all, in addition to You Province, Jing Province was led by Liu Biao who was loyal to the Han Dynasty. With the name of the Emperor, it would be easy to obtain Jing Province's support. However, they never expected that after the Emperor's Decree was issued, Liu Biao of Jing Province did not respond. Instead, he clearly declared that his province would submit to Da Hua and become under Da Hua's rule. This was even harder for them to accept than Liu Yan of Yi Province declaring himself as the Emperor of Yi Province.
After all, Liu Yan was still a member of the Han Dynasty. Even if he rebelled, it was still the Han Dynasty. At most, it was just a change of Emperor. However, joining the Great Hua Empire was different. It was a great betrayal. This made the officials who trusted Liu Biao very much unable to endure. They stomped their feet and scolded him. They said that Liu Biao was a traitor and had forgotten his ancestors.
If Liu Biao could appear in front of them, they would have the thought of eating him alive.
But now, Yangzhou rebelled. Moreover, it was the will of the people. This was many times better than relying on the loyalty of the people.
At the same time, Yangzhou's new policies were spread to the 13 provinces through the mouths of various spies, merchants, and refugees. Then, just like what Sei Itō and Ren Meimei thought, many of the large clans who wanted to live a stable life felt threatened. They used their connections to rebel against Sei Itō.
For example, the Cao Family of the Three Great Clans of Xuzhou.
For example, the Kuai Family and the Cai Family of Jingzhou.
Moreover, because these three families were originally large clans in the province, they almost killed the Governor of Xuzhou, Tao Qian, and the Governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao. Fortunately, in Xuzhou and Jingzhou, there were Chen Deng of the Chen Family who was favored by Sei Itō. There were also Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, and other political talents who were recruited by Sei Itō. Perhaps because they were invited to kill officials, or because they thought of the consequences of the new policies in advance and made corresponding countermeasures, the plan of the three families did not succeed.
In short, the entire Great Hua Empire was like a rat crossing the street. There were shouts of killing everywhere.
"Your Majesty, it should be about time. If we wait any longer, this mess will be really difficult to clean up." Ren Meimei said. As usual, she came to deliver information to Sei Itō.
"No rush, no rush. Everyone has not lost yet. It is not too late to counterattack after they have lost." Ito Sei, who was listening to the music played by Cai Yan again, waved his hand carelessly.
Seeing this, Ren Meimei could not do anything and could only agree. "Fine, you are His Majesty. You have the final say."
Under the influence of Sei Itō's strategy, the various armies that had been waiting for reinforcements were finally unable to resist the Han army's attacks. They all retreated from the frontlines and gave up large amounts of land.
Liangzhou's Xiliang army was pushed back to Fuping and Linqian. Jizhou's army was pushed back to Anping and Julu. Yangzhou's army was pushed back to Shanyin and Zhangan. Only Yuzhou and Gunzhou's armies were intact. However, Gunzhou was like Bingzhou and had entered a battle. However, the opponent was Qingzhou's Yellow Turban army.
However, the chain reaction caused by this was that even more people who sat on the fence emerged and leaned towards the Han Dynasty, causing the Han Dynasty's prestige to soar.
Sei Itō did not react to this and continued to sit in the Chang 'an Palace, calmly looking at the changes in the world. However, he was immediately shaken by another piece of news.
Sei Itō narrowed his eyes, hiding the cold light in his eyes as he softly said, "You said that the Xiongnu and Qiang people sent out their troops?"
"That's right," Ren Meimei confirmed.
"Did they want to take advantage of the chaos and send out their troops, or did someone contact them?" Sei Itō asked.
"The Qiang side is definitely trying to take advantage of the chaos. However, it's not so sure about the Xiongnu side. After all, Envoy Liu Yu has always been on good terms with the Xiongnu people, "Ren Meimei replied.
"It shouldn't be him … even if there's something wrong with Liu Yu's head, those Han officials won't agree. Cao Cao and those outstanding generals won't agree either, "Sei Itō said.
"If that's the case, then they should be the same as the Qiang people and want to take advantage of the chaos," Ren Meimei said.
"…" Itokunari was speechless. A moment later, he coldly laughed, "I won't give those fellows the chance to mess around!"
After saying this, he suddenly stood up from his seat and said to Ren Meimei and Cai Yan, "You two, come here."
Hearing this, Ren Meimei did not ask anything and quickly walked over to Sei Itō's side. Cai Yan looked at Sei Itō in confusion before standing up and elegantly walking over to Sei Itō's side.
At this moment, Sei Itō reached out and wrapped his arms around Ren Meimei and Cai Yan's waists. He then used Teleportation to disappear from the Chang 'an Palace and reappeared outside Chang' an City.
"Your Majesty, you're going to …" Ren Meimei's eyes lit up as she whispered as if she was afraid that someone would hear.
"That's right," Sei Itō calmly said.
He then pulled back his hands and walked out from between the bright-eyed Ren Meimei and the blushing Cai Yan.
