Chapter 358: Jin and Liao states want to become independent (Part 2)

At the beginning of winter, a shocking news spread throughout the empire and beyond.

The Yuan Yan family of Jinzhou restored the country and established the Great Jin, and the Ye Yu family of Liaozhou restored the country and established the Great Liao.

The two families claimed that the Emperor of the Chen Dynasty was benevolent and disregarded the people of the world. He did not respect the agreement made by Taizu and even wanted to reduce the power of the vassal states and abolish the feudal lords. He was no longer qualified to be the ruler of the world!

Therefore, the two families could only establish their own country and restore it in order to protect themselves.

However, in fact, although the current emperor Gu Huairen clamored to reduce the power of the vassal states before he ascended the throne, since he ascended the throne, not only did he not do so, but he also enfeoffed several of his brothers as vassal princes.

But the Yuanyan family and the Yeyu family insisted that Gu Huairen wanted to reduce the power of the vassal states and abolish the feudal lords, which was against the agreement between the Taizu of this dynasty and the princes and lords of the world!

Immediately afterwards, the Yuan Yan family announced that they would send an army of 100,000 to march west to Yunzhou.

The Ye Yu family also announced that they would send an army of 100,000 to attack the Northern Wilderness.

For a moment, the world was shaken.

The rebellion of Jin and Liao states was different from the riots of the people and the army. It was an open rebellion of the princes.

The equipment and combat effectiveness of the rebels in Jin and Liao states were naturally not comparable to those of the rioters and the rebel army.

Emperor Gu Huairen was furious and immediately ordered a large army to quell the rebellion.

But in fact, Liaozhou is located in the north of Jinzhou, bordering only Beihuang and Donglin, and is not connected to the heartland of the empire.

Jinzhou was only connected to the southeastern part of Beihuang and the northeastern part of Yunzhou. The army in the heart of the empire was simply unable to quell the rebellion in time.

Moreover, as time goes by, the combat effectiveness of the rebel troops that have survived to this day has gradually increased, and it is difficult to wipe them out relying solely on the Imperial Guards.

However, most of the local armies that were expanded were just there to do the work without putting in any effort, and became tools for local tyrants to control the local areas.

As for the private armies of the nobles in the territories, most of them were hypocritical and were more active than each other in taking the opportunity to occupy territory, but if they were to fight to the death with the rebel army, they would have no chance.

Now that the two states of Jin and Liao were in open rebellion, Gu Huairen simply could not mobilize a large army to quell the rebellion and could only passively defend.

Anya County, which borders Jinzhou in the northeast of Yunzhou, became the first line of defense to block the Jinzhou rebels from attacking the heartland of the empire.

Fortunately, at this time the main force of the Anya County rebels had been wiped out in Anping County, the situation in Anya County had stabilized, and the local troops at all levels in Anya County had been expanded. Tens of thousands of troops could be dispatched to guard the important pass between Jinzhou and Yunzhou...Jinyun Pass.

As a result, the Jinzhou rebels and the imperial army launched an offensive and defensive battle at Jinyun Pass.

In the Fantasy Castle on the small island in the middle of the Fantasy Valley lake, Liu Feiyun stared at the map on the table with a frown on his face.

"You, the emperor, are still worried about you! You actually sent that idiot Zhuang Nan to guard Jinyun Pass!"

"Although Jinyun Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and tens of thousands of soldiers have been mobilized! But in my opinion! With that idiot Zhuang Nan alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold it for a few days! You have to make plans early!"

Zhou Banxia said from the side.

Liu Feiyun said helplessly:

"But I am only the lieutenant of Anping County. I don't have much authority at all! Without the emperor's order, I can't seize the military power openly!"

"All I can do now is to step up the training of the rural soldiers in the six counties that have been controlled and speed up the production of weapons and armor in preparation for the war."

Zhou Banxia couldn't help but say with regret:

"I really don't understand what you are thinking, you bastard? Is the emperor's edict really that important? Without his authorization, you don't want Anya County?"

"I wonder what you will do when the Jinzhou rebels capture Jinyun Pass?"

Liu Feiyun said:

"In fact, I don't really care about the emperor's opinion. I just feel that my preparations are not perfect."

"The total number of troops in Anya County is less than 10,000, and the nearly 20,000 soldiers in the other five counties will have difficulty fighting the Jinzhou rebels head-on if they are not trained!"

"Besides, the weapons and armor are not fully prepared, and I am very short of time now!"

Zhou Banxia rolled his eyes and said disdainfully:

"Well prepared!? I wonder what you have learned in the military academy over the years, and what experience have you gained in the Battle of Northern Wasteland?"

"What do you mean by fully prepared? There is no such thing as being fully prepared! Opportunities are fleeting!"

"You, you! I really don't understand how the Zhenhuang Army was tricked into becoming stronger by you! Why do you become so timid and stupid as soon as you return home!"

Sure enough, in early November, Jinyun Pass was captured by the Jinzhou rebels. Then, the Jinzhou rebels took advantage of the situation and quickly attacked the various county governments in Anya County.
