Chapter 712

The King of Grassland sent 200,000 troops, and Queen Helen sent 300,000 troops. At the same time, she was approaching the border and entered the territory of the Holy Lion Empire. The Dragon also responded in the south at the same time, leading 500,000 troops to set off and headed towards the imperial capital.

In addition, Song Li also sent envoys holding his own letters to go to various parts of the empire to lobby the vassal officials in charge of the ruler. The reason used was very simple and direct. The Holy Emperor could treat princes like us in this way, and in the future he would be able to deal with you because of concern.

At the same time, Song Xinghai was not idle either, and also sent out one letter after another. Compared to Song Li's letter, what he wrote was even more sincere and touching.

At this time, the good popularity that Song Xinghai had accumulated in the past showed its power. Basically, the officials who received letters from Song Xinghai and Song Li and his son did not refuse on the spot, but just expressed their intention to consider it. When some of them had a close relationship with Song Xinghai, or were simply promoted by him, they publicly supported Song Li's move and sent the troops to respond, the others could no longer sit still.

Anyone who is an official, especially those who have reached a high position, will understand one truth, that is, it is better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake.

Although the current situation is not clear, at least it is not difficult to see that Song Xinghai and Song Li and his son are not at all likely to win against the Holy Emperor. If they take sides in advance at this time, then when the overall situation is settled, they will be rewarded according to their merits and rewards, and they may be able to enter the center from the place at once.

For officials, nothing is more attractive than this one.

More importantly, everyone could see that no matter what the banner Song Li was holding, he was essentially to overthrow the rule of the Holy Emperor, and the next step would be to replace him.

As the saying goes, once the emperor is in his court, if the Holy Emperor comes down, Song Xinghai or Song Li will definitely appoint his own people. As for the ministers before, they may have to stand aside. The vacant positions are quite attractive.

With such an idea, many local officials began to respond one after another. Those who had soldiers sent troops, and those who had no soldiers would send people to be civil servants. If they were not even enough people, they would pay money and supplies. In short, the local officials who were willing to go to the next level all stood on Song Li's side. In addition to swearing allegiance, they also raised the banner of attacking the Holy Emperor who was against the contrary.

In addition to the responses of local officials, even the ministers within the imperial capital who had a good relationship with Song Xinghai and had always been in contact with each other began to contact them in private.

Of course, they will not publicly express their support for Song Xinghai and Song Li, overthrow the Holy Emperor, or something. After all, they are still under the nose of the Holy Emperor. Unless they are stuck in the door, they will do this and make jokes with their lives. The Holy Emperor's butcher knife is not a joke.

However, being unable to say does not mean that nothing can be done.

Song Xinghai has a good popularity and many ministers are close to him. Unconsciously, he was attributed to Song Xinghai's sect. The Holy Emperor has a clear understanding of it, and recently he has been suppressing these people openly and secretly.

Now that Song Li is involved in his relationship, these people are even more unpopular with the Holy Emperor. Not being able to see them means not being able to see them. At most, the Holy Emperor can only marginalize them, but it is impossible to actually confiscate their families and exterminate their clans. Otherwise, at least one or half of them will be missing in the court.

These people were neglected and suppressed, and of course they would not hate Song Xinghai. They would only remember the resentment in their hearts on the Holy Emperor. When they got the opportunity, they would of course make some small moves.

Although they were marginalized, they were still in the court. At the same time, their relatives, friends, old friends, even their disciples, and officials were not marginalized. Some even took charge of some key parts of the court.

So when they start to move, the impact is also quite large.

When he heard that Song Li raised an army to clear the ruling and eliminate the treacherous and slanderous people, the Holy Emperor not only judged him as a rebellion, but also prepared to send troops to quell the rebellion.

But when fighting, money and food are indispensable. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses are the first to move. At this time, the small movements of the officials began.

Things like war involve a wide range of personnel in departments and small mistakes in any link may affect the efficiency of preparation. These officials will not be so stupid that they deliberately make destruction, but some of them are able to delay the work and delay the things they should be in a hurry, and they can do it immediately for half a day.

There are excuses, such as procedures and rules, and the officials in charge are not here, and there are so many things that you can’t find as long as you want to find them.

As a result, this powerful and powerful war machine in the Holy Lion Empire was like some parts rusted or lacking lubricant, and suddenly became much less efficient. Even if the Holy Emperor had issued an order to send troops to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, it was only after five or six days that the things to be prepared were ready.

As the saying goes, soldiers are the most important.

But it was precisely because of this delay that the Holy Emperor's army could not get up quickly. By the time the army was sent out, Song Li's army had increased to 300,000 like a snowball.

This is not the reinforcements sent by the King of Grassland and Queen Helen. With this alone, Song Li took the lead, and at the same time he approached less than a thousand miles from the Emperor.

Although the army on the Holy Emperor's side was dragged down, the movement was not slow. After setting off, he advanced at full speed and prepared to attack Song Li's army head-on.

But at this time, trouble came again. Because masked people kept coming to harass them, there were not many of them. If they had a head-on confrontation, it would not be feared. However, they did not fight head-on with the army at all. They either destroyed the bridges or waited for the army to camp and sneak in and set fires, burned food and grass.

In a word, they do whatever they feel uncomfortable.

The head coach of the Holy Emperor's side is Song Qiuming, and he is also a long-time imperial general who has experienced many battles. Originally, he did not have a surname, but because of his repeated military achievements, the Holy Emperor gave him the surname to commend him. Because of this, Song Qiuming is the hard-core and loyalty of the Holy Emperor, and the Holy Emperor also trusts him quite well. This time, he handed over 200,000 elite troops to him and ordered him to suppress the rebellion.

Although Song Qiuming led his troops bravely, he was calm and composed. He was harassed repeatedly at the beginning. He was really anxious and angry. He sent people to chase these masked people several times, but unfortunately, although the number of people on the other side was not large, his personal strength was not weak. He was slippery like a loach stained with oil. He was exhausted by several pairs of soldiers who sent to catch people, but he did not catch any of them, but instead he lost many soldiers.

As a result, Song Qiuming realized that these people were not simple, so he changed his strategy. Since he couldn't catch them, he stopped arresting them. During the day, he sent people to open the road ahead, opened the road across mountains and built bridges when encountering water, and added more posts at night, and the patrol efforts were greatly enhanced.

Under such strict defense, although the masked man still came to harass him, he could no longer cause any trouble to him as before.

"Leader, what should I do?" In a dense forest about fifty miles away from Song Qiuming's army, many masked people were gathering together to discuss.

"How many times have you said it, don't call me the leader of the Justice League. The leader of the Justice League will always be my boss." One of them is thin and the current leader of the Justice League.

Touching his chin, Pang Da said: "Since Song Qiuming is so tight, let's take a break first. Some of us will go back to the imperial capital with me. After we have come out these days, we should show our face so that the Holy Emperor's traitors will see any flaws. The rest of the group is not idle. They can collect as much information as Song Qiuming's marching route and other information, and then send it to the boss."

"That, Xiao Hei."

"Don't call me a nickname." A thin-body said.

"Okay, Xiao Hei." Pang Da said: "Isn't your father in the Ministry of Revenue? Then you must know the situation of food and grass transportation. Let's do it afterwards."

"OK."

When the Justice League headed by Pangda was damaging behind enemy lines, Song Li was personally leading the army to siege the cities and villages.

Although Song Li sent a letter early, inviting the King of Grassland and Queen Helen to cooperate with him in the battle, he did not really let their soldiers come to his command.

No matter what, this time it can only be considered a civil war. Since it is a civil war, it is better to solve it yourself. If the grassland cavalry and the army of the Lambis Kingdom are really invited into the Holy Lion Empire, let alone whether they can obey the command after they come in, and whether they will become tiger-eating wolf and swallowing the wolf and be bitten by the wolf again.

This reputation alone is very bad. Song Li didn't want to become a traitor who colluded with foreign countries and invaded his own country.

Therefore, the 200,000 troops sent by the Grassland King and Queen Helen's 300,000 troops have always been on the border, responsible for restraining the Holy Lion Empire's forces on the border and making them unable to move. In order to make the exercise more realistic, the two armies occasionally enter the Holy Lion Empire, but they will not go too deep, at most thirty or fifty miles, and they will go around.

Even so, it was enough to cause a panic on the border. The expedited war reports were constantly sent to the Holy Emperor. Some asked to send troops to reinforce, while others asked to increase the amount of food and salary, which made the Holy Emperor anxious.

At this time, the Holy Emperor was really big. No matter what, he never expected that Song Li would unconsciously make such a big situation and have such strong and strong strength. Now he is facing a situation where the army of Lanbis and grassland cavalry outside, and the army of Zhanlong and Song Li are attacking the imperial capital one south and one north. The internal and external troubles erupted together, which made him feel a biting chill.

Although I have been adjusting my evaluation of Song Li, I didn't expect that now I still underestimated him. The Holy Emperor regretted it at this time, and regretted that he shouldn't have forced Song Li too hard, and regretted that he shouldn't have let him go.

It is easy to release it, but the trouble is that he has created such a big problem for himself as soon as he takes action. The current Holy Lion Empire can be said to be full of war, but this time the chaos is even bigger than the last time
