"That's right!" Yao Li said worriedly, "Right now, there are already several rebellions occurring within the borders of the Linqiao County. If we don't get the food for relief, I'm afraid there will be a huge rebellion in all of the Linqiao County. who are in the midst of relief efforts in the Linqiao may be in danger too!"
Tang Yin laughed and shook his head, saying, "Master Yao, you are overthinking it. According to what this king knows, there is a Chuan Army guarding the Linqiao, even if there is a civil rebellion, the Chuan Army will quickly subdue it."
Yao Li blinked his eyes in puzzlement and asked: "Is the Great King talking about the Chuan Army that is stationed at the border between Linqiao and Stone Horse?"
Tang Yin nodded and said: "That's right!"
Yao Li said in a low voice: "Great King, with the flood water covering both sides of the river, how could the Chuan Army Army Camp be spared? Chuan Army's ferry camp has long moved elsewhere to avoid the flood, so there are currently no garrisons within the Linqiao County! "
"What?" Tang Yin was startled, and after thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized something, that's right, why did he not think of it, the Chuan Army's campsite was right beside the water, with the water flooding over during the season, and the Chuan Camp being the one that bore the brunt of the damage, how could Chuan Army possibly defend the campsite and drown to death by the flood, of course he had long moved the campsite away. Thinking about that, Tang Yin secretly grinned, this meant that Xiao Xiang was alone and helpless to go to the Linqiao County to take care of the disaster, if anything happened, no one would be able to find any reinforcements to rescue them.
Tang Yin's eyes darted around and he couldn't help but start worrying about Xiao Xiang's safety.
Unfortunately, the situation was indeed moving in the direction of the most unfortunate. Five days after Tang Yin arrived at the Heping County, the Linqiao County, which had been long awaited for food relief, finally erupted into a large-scale rebellion.
When the citizens of Linqiao County determined that People of Chuan Country no longer cared about whether they lived or died, the hungry and angry people all picked up their weapons, pointing their spears straight at King Chuan Xiao Xiang, and engaged in an extremely intense battle with the cavalry that Xiao Xiang had brought.
Tang Yin was not surprised by the sudden change in Linqiao County, it could be said that he expected it. Without any food for disaster, Xiao Xiang would be seeking trouble when he went to Linqiao County, which was equivalent to giving the other party a way out.
After all, she only had around five thousand cavalrymen by her side and there were hundreds of thousands of citizens on the Linqiao County. Even if all five thousand cavalrymen were Spirit Cultivator, they still wouldn't be able to withstand the assault of so many mob. As long as Xiao Xiang died, the People of Chuan Country would no longer have a leader, and they would no longer be able to oppose the Feng Country anymore.
Actually, whether Xiao Xiang lived or died did not have much of an impact on the current situation. Even if Xiao Xiang died, if Yin Zhun wanted to plant his People of Chuan Country, he could choose Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Peng and other nobles to be the King Chuan.
And if these people became King Chuan, then there would no longer be any factions within the People of Chuan Country, and they would condense into a group, which would instead be disadvantageous to the Feng Country.
Due to this consideration, Tang Yin felt that he should lend a hand now.
However, the division of Zhen Country had basically already ended, and all the areas south of the water had fallen under the jurisdiction of the People of Chuan Country. If the Feng Army were to directly send out troops, then it was possible that someone with ulterior motives would cause a ruckus and call rescue an invasion.
On this day, Tang Yin called his trusted aides and subordinates, and passed all the Linqiao County information he received to them for circulation.
After looking through the information that Tang Yin gave him, he put it to the side and said: "King Chuan really miscalculated when we went to the Linqiao County to provide relief, and has been too rash. Now that the Linqiao County has changed as the King Chuan has been isolated from the Linqiao, it is likely that it will not end well!"
Tang Yin nodded his head and asked: "The King Chuan is in trouble, and the one closest to the King Chuan is instead us, who are at most one river apart.
Yao Li did not understand why Tang Yin asked that. After pondering for a moment, he told the truth, "This humble subject believes that the King should be helping the King Chuan!"
Hearing his words, everyone's faces immediately darkened. Tang Yin was a little surprised. He smiled as he looked at Yao Li and asked: "Why?"
Yao Li said seriously: "If King Chuan dies, there will still be a new King Chuan to succeed him. It will not affect the current situation. But the Great King was close at hand, if one saw King Chuan being trapped and refused to help, not only would People of Chuan Country take charge of this debt, they would also hold a grudge against the Great King. On the other hand, if the Great King saved King Chuan, he would definitely make People of Chuan Country feel grateful towards the Great King, which was the same as selling him a huge favor to People of Chuan Country, and there would be rewards for it in the future. Your Majesty, if your ambitions are high, you will be elected as the latter! "
Ouch! This Yao Li was thinking the same thing as him. Tang Yin subconsciously looked to his left and right left and right, seeing that his side had so many strategists and advisers, his eyes were not as farsighted as a People of Zhen Country with Heping County.
He secretly shook his head and smiled at Yao Li: "What Senior Yao says is reasonable. It's just that, since the Linqiao County is not under my jurisdiction, if we rashly send troops, I'm afraid that they will be treated as an invasion and not as a rescue!"
Yao Li laughed, and said: "Sending troops out was already a plan, but the King ordered his soldiers to go to the Linqiao County to save the King Chuan, fighting with all their might against the rebels, that would be too unfair for his soldiers!"
That's right! Tang Yin did not say anything, but he had already agreed in his heart. He asked: "May I know what kind of plan Senior Yao has?"
Yao Li asked, "Why does the King think the citizens of Linqiao County are rebelling?"
This time, without waiting for Tang Yin to speak, one of the advisors could not help but say: "Of course it's because People of Chuan Country is delaying the delivery of the relief food to Linqiao County!"
This is the reason behind the rebellion of the citizens of Linqiao County, and also the source of the rebellion. "Yun Che said in a low voice.
Yao Li said seriously: "So, the King doesn't need to send troops to save them, as long as we take out a portion of our food and send it to Linqiao County, so that the victims there can eat their fill, the rebellion will naturally subside."
Hearing this, Tang Yin's eyes lit up. This idea was really good, not only did it have no risks and would not land in the real world, it was the right medicine.
He smiled up at the sky and praised, "A brilliant plan! What Senior Yao said could be said to be a brilliant plan! " After pausing for a moment, he asked, "However, if we were to take out all of our food and split it with Linqiao County, would we still have enough ourselves?"
Yao Li said anxiously: "That's enough! This time, the King has brought over a hundred thousand stones for food, and there are also a lot of relief food coming after, so a portion of it is more than enough to solve the desperate needs of the people suffering from Linqiao County. "
"Alright!" Tang Yin laughed and said: "This matter, I'll leave it to you, Master Yao."
"Yes!" Your Majesty, this humble subject will do my best to settle this matter well! " Yao Li stood up and bowed to the ground. The citizens of Linqiao County were also People of Zhen Country, so Yao Li could not stand idly by.
If the citizens of the Linqiao really killed the King Chuan, then when the flood retreated and the Chuan Army entered in a large number of places, not a single citizen of the entire Linqiao would be better. In the end, most likely, all of them would be killed by the Chuan Army.
He had to pacify the rebellion and free the King Chuan as soon as possible. Yao Li was not only saving the King Chuan, he was also saving his own compatriots.
Yao Li's plan was very good. Using the Heping County to provide food, it would be a relief to the people here. In this way, the commoners would have food and a full stomach. Naturally, they would not cause trouble anymore.
Of course, this was the result of his deductions according to normal logic. Only, this time, there was a hidden external factor within the rebellion of Linqiao County, which was not something Yao Li could deduce.
According to Tang Yin's orders, Yao Li took out a total of fifty thousand stones from the Heping County's relief food and loaded it with over a hundred boats.
This was originally a good thing, but it turned out to be counterproductive and self-defeating. No one would have thought that, including Tang Yin and his group, the rebellion of Linqiao County would become even more serious after the arrival of their aid.
The Linqiao County was under the jurisdiction of the People of Chuan Country, but after suffering from such a huge flood, the People of Chuan Country was unwilling to send any food to the aid of the disaster. Instead, the wind people on the other side had come to deliver the food for the disaster, so when comparing the two, how could the people of the Linqiao not be grateful? How could he not hate People of Chuan Country?
It was unknown who suggested that the Linqiao County should break away from the jurisdiction of the People of Chuan Country and belong to the Feng Country. Only then, would the citizens of Linqiao County be able to survive. As a result, once this statement was made, it was immediately accepted by the local People of Zhen Country. People spread it around and soon, it became a mainstream speech.
The people of Linqiao County wanted to escape the control of the People of Chuan Country and return to the Feng Country, so killing King Chuan was their opportunity.
Tang Yin accepted Yao Li's suggestion and delivered the food to the Linqiao. However, who would have thought that it would be an accident? Tang Yin wanted to help Xiao Xiang escape the danger and quell the rebellion, but in the end, they successfully bought over the hearts of the citizens, causing the rebellion to intensify.
The local People of Zhen Country had even clearly stated the slogan "Kill King Chuan, submit to Feng Country". Tang Yin's move was not only not to save Xiao Xiang, but also to add insult to injury.
No one could have predicted such a sudden change in the situation. After receiving the news, Yao Li immediately came to see Tang Yin, and mentioned in front of him that within the Linqiao County realm, there must be someone with ulterior motives hiding to incite the people's emotions, but he was unable to pinpoint just who these people with ulterior motives were.
In fact, the person who was most likely was Feng Ren, but after interacting with him for a few days, he could tell that the Feng King genuinely wanted to help the King Chuan. If it wasn't for the Feng King's covert plans, he really couldn't think of anyone else that could lurk within the Linqiao County and incite the citizens to rebel.
Tang Yin was the same as Yao Li, the three year old monk did not know what to do, whether he himself had sent people to incite the citizens of Linqiao County, he himself was very clear about this. Who would have the strength to do such a thing in the dark?
