Chapter 477 The Dayong Dynasty's Fate Has Ended
This guy is an expert in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. Back in Malan City, he was the one who had the most fun and enjoyment. Even Ji Wuge had to worship him. With that kind of character, how could he possibly like men? Although the Northern Emperor's otherworldly appearance would attract even Tang Jingyao, it was merely that he found him pleasing to the eye. As for making a move, that would be absolutely impossible!
"You must already know about the Ninth Princess's situation. The Emperor has placed her under house arrest. Ji Wuge was also severely injured while trying to rescue her, and his injuries are still very serious. He is being held in the Imperial Prison by the Emperor. I have tried several times to rescue him, but I dare not act rashly for fear of angering the Emperor and causing him to directly target the Ji family. Therefore, even if you want to take action, you must ensure the safety of the princess and the well-being of Ji Wuge and the others before you can do so."
Tang Jingyao stopped dwelling on the matter of rebellion. Sikong Jin was right. Such a court had long lost its meaning of loyalty. Especially after the tragic death of Lord Xingqitian, such a respected pillar of the Great Yong Dynasty was so ruthlessly killed. How could they not feel disheartened?
Therefore, it is not necessarily a bad thing to overthrow the rule of Emperor Daiyong and establish a new regime. As long as the people can live in peace and prosperity and are free from the suffering of oppression, it may be a good thing.
Upon hearing Tang Jingyao's words, Sikong Jin immediately understood that he roughly agreed to the uprising. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Tang Jingyao with a somewhat solemn expression. After thinking for a moment, she said in a low voice, "I understand this matter. I didn't rush back to Dayong unprepared. Emperor Beizun has dispatched all the experts from Fengyun Tower directly to the Dayong capital. His hundreds of thousands of troops will soon march on Yanmen Pass. At that time, the court will definitely be in chaos. We will contact the major forces in the capital and stage a riot in the capital. We will use a two-pronged approach to create chaos in the capital, causing Xing Qiyu to lose his composure. Then we will seize the opportunity to rescue my mother and the Ninth Princess Ji Wuge."
"This plan requires extremely meticulous planning. It can only succeed; failure is not an option. Otherwise, we may face certain death! Yukichi has hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital, while we have far fewer. Therefore, we cannot confront him head-on; we must outsmart him. My forces are all at Hangu Pass, too far to be of immediate help. So, within the capital, we still need your help."
Sikong Jin spoke very frankly.
Tang Jingyao was shocked by Sikong Jin's words and looked at him incredulously, asking, "You mean, the master behind the Fengyun Tower in Luoyang is really the Northern Emperor?"
Although he had inquired about the number one restaurant in the world before, he had not obtained any useful information. He never expected that the Northern Emperor would have such a super trump card!
The Fengyun Tower is full of experts. It is said that in order to intercept Sikong Jin's return to the capital, Emperor Dayong secretly wanted to ask the Fengyun Tower to help. However, the Fengyun Tower directly refused his request. When the secret guards returned to report, he found it strange. But when he thought of the rule that the Fengyun Tower does not participate in the internal affairs of various dynasties, his doubts were dispelled.
Sikong Jin nodded calmly, took a sip of tea, and then replied, "Therefore, no matter how much they struggle, Dayong will probably not escape the fate of following in the footsteps of Tiansheng. The unification of the world is an inevitable trend. I can also tell you something here: even Xifenglie has already submitted to Dazhou, signed a ceasefire agreement with Dazhou, and is willing to become a vassal state of Dazhou, paying tribute every year. Dazhou will soon send people to negotiate the specifics with Daliao. Dayong is now just a cornered beast fighting for survival."
"Alright, stop talking, Ajin! Actually, I could have foreseen that Dayong would eventually meet the same fate as it has today. It seems that Dayong's destiny has run its course. Sigh, it's a pity that it was once so glorious!"
Tang Jingyao took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh. A helpless sadness flashed in his dark eyes as he stared intently at Sikong Jin. "Tell me, what do you plan to do, or rather, what do you need me to do?"
Upon hearing this, Sikong Jin was taken aback, and a look of gratitude appeared in her starry eyes. "Thank you, brother!"
Tang Jingyao waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "What are you thanking me for? This is the only way I can go now. I also have to protect the Tang family. Besides, Ji Wuge is my good brother. You are just like him. I am also worried about you. So naturally I can't bear to see you in such a crisis. I have to find a way to rescue him."
Sikong Jin nodded and took a deep breath. "Yeah, me too. We'll always be brothers, so let's make a decisive move without hesitation!"
"Alright, you must be well aware of the situation in the capital. Xing Qiyu's Imperial Guard and Royal Guard together number no less than 150,000, while we have virtually no troops at our disposal. Xing Qiyu is too cunning. He transferred Ji Dage to another post, and the Sikong Mansion is now being controlled by the Liu Mansion. The entire capital is now under his control. This is what's most troublesome."
As Tang Jingyao spoke, he walked to the desk, picked up a map from it, returned, and spread it out on the coffee table in front of Sikong Jin.
"Look, there are four city gates: east, west, south, and north. These are extraordinary times, and the city is under tight security. The north and south gates are closed, and the east gate is only opened once every three days. Only the west gate is open normally. The emperor's main forces are concentrated here. The north and south gates are easy to defend and difficult to attack due to their terrain. These two places are full of arrow towers and hidden towers. We only need to deploy 20,000 troops to defend them closely, which can stop 50,000 or even 100,000 troops from invading. You should understand the advantages of this yourself."
Tang Jingyao focused on two locations on the map and spoke to Sikong Jin.
Sikong Jin nodded, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Yes, I know. These two city gates were reinforced before, and the designers cleverly used the geographical advantages to build these arrow towers in a pincer formation, with a wide range of fire. If the people outside the city want to launch a strong attack, they must first eliminate these arrow towers, otherwise the losses will be huge."
"Yes, in addition, we also need to consider the people in the city. Our main intention is to rescue people, and then to attack the city, so it is crucial to come up with a foolproof escape plan. The soldiers currently stationed in front of the city gate are all members of the Royal Army and are close confidants of Yukichi, so this may be difficult to handle."
Tang Jingyao sighed.
