Chapter 179 What?Is Yangli plotting rebellion?

"Sir, I will make arrangements immediately."

"There's no rush, let's wait." Yang Yanzhang shook his head.

"Wait?" The deputy was stunned.

Yang Yanzhang took a deep breath and said, "Wait another half day!"

Hearing this, the deputy had no choice but to take orders.

Half a day later, Yang Yanzhang left the team with his soldiers.

"Sir, why do you have to stay for half a day?" the deputy asked strangely.

"You don't understand." Yang Yanzhang shook his head and said, "If we enter the Southwest Road in such a hurry, it will definitely arouse Yang Li's suspicion."

"How dare Yang Li intercept us?" the deputy said angrily, "Sir, you don't know, that Yang Li is so audacious that he openly disobeys the imperial edict."

Yang Yanzhang ignored him and continued to run towards the direction of Southwest Fu Yin.

Along the way, Yang Li indeed set up ambushes to block several groups.

Although I had a near miss each time, I still wasted a lot of time.If it weren't for the help of a few soldiers beside him, he might have suffered a long time ago.

"Sir!" Just when Yang Yanzhang was about to arrive at Southwest Fuyin, a cavalry suddenly blocked their way.

"Who are you?" the soldier shouted sternly.

"Sir, please stay!" A middle-aged man got off his horse and quickly said to Yang Yanzhang.

"you are?"

Yang Yanzhang frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"This is Chen Fangnian, the Chief Secretary of Southwest China."

"Oh!" Yang Yanzhang understood, "Are you here to see me?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang." Chen Fangnian bowed and said, "I heard that your Excellency arrived in the southwest, so I rushed over to greet you. Your Excellency has had a hard journey, let's talk after we go to the city!"

Yang Yanzhang hesitated and said, "No need, let's make it clear here, so as not to waste your time."

"Your Excellency is wise." Chen Fangnian said appreciatively, "Your Excellency arrived so late, I'm afraid you don't know about Yang Li's rebellion, right?"

"What? Yang Li is plotting rebellion?" Yang Yanzhang said with wide eyes.

"Yes." Chen Fangnian whispered, "Your Excellency, you should have come from Hedong, right?"

"Not bad!"

"It's no wonder, everyone knows about Yang Li." Chen Fangnian said with a smile, "As far as I know, there are quite a few people rebelling this time. There are nearly a thousand people in the prefecture and county offices alone, and even more in other towns and villages. There are more than [-] people. This is only on the surface. Secretly, there are estimated to be thousands of people. Together with other refugees and bandits, the total strength is extraordinary. Sir, under this situation, do you still want to quell the rebellion? This is not possible at all. It’s just a whim and it will only increase casualties.”

"Hmph, you say this is just an increase in casualties? What about you people? Are you willing to die at the hands of bandits?" Yang Yanzhang said coldly.

"Alas~" Chen Fangqiang sighed softly, "Who in this world is willing to waste his life? But what can we do? We are all under the instructions of others. We just use money to do things. In the end, can we Survival depends on God’s will.”

Chen Fangnian did not hide his helplessness and desolation.

Yang Yanzhang ignored him and turned around and walked towards his team.

He didn't expect that his luck would be so bad. Before he entered the southwest, the situation on Yangli's side had changed.

According to their previous deduction, Yang Li's target was people like himself.

Now that his whereabouts are leaked, Yang Li will definitely not give up.

"Sir!" the deputy nervously tugged on Yang Yanzhang's sleeve. "It's okay! Now that we're here, there's no reason to back down! Let's go!" Yang Yanzhang said solemnly.

"Yes!" the deputy said through gritted teeth.

Yang Yanzhang and his group walked towards the southwest Fuyin in a mighty manner, which was not far from Fucheng.

Yang Yanzhang knew that the closer he got to Fucheng, the more intense the resistance would be, so he prepared to reach the southwest Fucheng as quickly as possible.

But what shocked him was that when they walked near Southwest Fucheng, they found that the city gate was open.

"What's going on?" Yang Yanzhang was secretly shocked. He stopped and carefully looked at the flags of the defenders on the city wall, and his face suddenly became uncertain.

"Yang Li is crazy!"

Yang Yanzhang did not expect that he would be ambushed as soon as he arrived at the outskirts of Fucheng.

But fortunately, he had a few confidants with strong martial arts skills around him, who saved him from danger.

"Sir, what do we do now?" the deputy asked.

Yang Yanzhang stared at the empty city in front of him and pondered for a long time: "Let's enter the city!"

After all, this is still Yangli's home base, and it's pretty good that the hundreds of people he brought here can persist for such a long time.

If you break in forcefully, the losses will be too serious.

And since he just entered the city, Yang Li must have gotten the news.

Even if he won't deal with him immediately by then, he will definitely find an opportunity to deal with him.

I can't fight him to the death at this time.

In this case, let's just go to the city first and stabilize the front.

"Sir, is this inappropriate?" the deputy whispered, "What if there is an ambush in the city?"

Yang Yanzhang smiled faintly and said: "Ambush? With just a few thousand people here, you want to ambush our three thousand elites? What a fool's dream! And do you think this is something that Yangli can do?"

"This subordinate doesn't mean that..."

Yang Yanzhang waved his hand and said: "I know what you are worried about, but think about it, even if Yang Li really sends troops to attack at this time, it will be limited. Can his troops cover every city in the entire Southwest County?"

"But this doesn't mean that Yang Li can just sit back and watch us occupy the city."

The corner of Yang Yanzhang's mouth twitched and he said: "Do you think Yang Li dares to send troops to attack the city at this time? Don't forget, we have a large army for defense outside the city. Even if Yang Li wants to take action, he must think carefully."

The deputy breathed a sigh of relief at Yang Yanzhang's words.

If Yang Li really dares to mobilize troops and horses to attack the city, then his side can completely use the advantages of troops and horses to counterattack, and even cause a lot of damage to Yang Li.

The situation is different now.

Yang Yanzhang's scruples are not very reasonable. It is impossible for Yang Li to send a large army to attack the army camp of his own people.

After all, most of the soldiers and horses in Southwest County are in the Southwest Government Office. These soldiers and horses are used to maintain public order and defend the county. How can they be mobilized at will?
"Go down with the order and enter the city!" Yang Yanzhang yelled.

"Here!"

When they entered Southwest Fucheng, looking at the surrounding scene, everyone had a look of horror on their faces.

In the huge city, there were corpses everywhere, and blood gathered into rivers.

All the houses on both sides of the street collapsed. Whether they were houses with blue bricks, red tiles or wooden structures, they were all burned down and devastated.
