Within these three days, Chu Yun had learned from his mother, Princess Chai, how powerful these Dongting Lake rebels were. According to her, there were about fifty thousand of them, and their leader was called Hua Tian. He was a highly skilled martial artist, but even so, the court's three attacks should not have failed and resulted in heavy casualties!
It turned out that this group of rebels seemed to have received the news before the arrival of the imperial court's army. Then, they relied on their skillful swimming skills and the water flow of the river to resist the encirclement and suppression of the army. Moreover, they suffered heavy losses. It seemed that the imperial court had given the task of eliminating the rebels to Chu Yun in the hope that they could use the hands of the rebels to get rid of him, the only male son of the Yang family. What a vicious scheme! It seemed that the Emperor had already decided to take action against the Yang family.
Thinking of this, Chu Yun felt that he should speed up his pace. Otherwise, if the Emperor really destroyed the Yang family, it would be too late for regret.
Three days later, Chu Yun rode a white horse with his aunt Hua Jieyu and left Bianjing City with the 50,000 troops that they had gathered from various sources. They headed towards Dongting Lake. Initially, Hua Jieyu was furious when she saw the 50,000 troops that had been gathered from various sources. Could these people fight? However, the official there said that the war was urgent and the regular army needed to protect Bianjing City. They could not bring out 50,000 troops at all, and he had spent a lot of effort to gather these 50,000 troops!
Hearing this, Hua Jieyu was furious. She really wanted to kill the officer, but Chu Yun stopped her. To him, it would be better to give her 50,000 troops that he had scraped together. It would be easier for him to subdue them. If he really gave her 50,000 regular troops, Chu Yun was worried that he would not be able to subdue them!
Seeing Chu Yun stop her, Hua Xieyu was a little confused. Chu Yun smiled mysteriously, then organized the 50,000 troops and headed towards Dongting Lake.
On the rugged mountain road, a group of strange troops was advancing. This army was strange because the light cavalry and heavy cavalry who should have been riding on horses all dismounted and walked. Other than that, the other troops were the same. A large group of horses were leisurely walking behind the army, stopping from time to time to attack the tender grass by the roadside.
The 50,000 soldiers all stepped on the ground, except for Hua Jieyu. After all, she was a woman, so no one would say anything. Moreover, there was a heavy bag of sand tied to their calves. At the front of the army, a young man was jogging. The sandbag on his calf was heavier than the other soldiers. Not only that, but there were also two iron stones tied to his wrists.
Just like that, the 50,000 soldiers went through tough training on the journey. On the way, soldiers kept falling down, but they kept standing up. The military training that combined physical strength and mental strength allowed them to cultivate better teamwork. For those who were incompetent, Chu Yun implemented a selection system of survival of the fittest. Those who were eliminated were expelled from the army and sent back to the capital. Just like that, after a month of marching, Chu Yun finally arrived at the province where Dongting Lake was located. However, the 50,000 soldiers had already become 30,000. With these 30,000 people, Chu Yun felt that he was enough to quell the Dongting Lake rebellion.
It had to be said that the scenery of Dongting Lake was very beautiful. The scenery of the lakeside was extremely beautiful and charming. The clear water covered the sky, and the vast sea was vast. The waves were calm, and the sky was bright. However, there was a group of traitors entrenched in the lotus lake in Dongting Lake. When Chu Yun thought of these traitors, he was filled with righteous indignation. They were the ones who broke his peaceful life. He would definitely make them pay the price.
Chu Yun ordered the army to set up camp a hundred miles away from Dongting Lake. The local government had long known about the arrival of Chu Yun's army, so they had already prepared sufficient food. Chu Yun was not in a hurry to attack the Dongting Lake rebels. Instead, he let them eat first and recuperate.
After dinner, Chu Yun said to Hua Jieyu,""Auntie, I want to go to the nest of the Dongting Lake rebels to investigate the situation first, and then come back to decide how to deploy the army.”
"Zong Bao, this is too dangerous. If they find out who you are, it'll be bad!”Hua Jieyu quickly objected.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Aunty, don't try to persuade me anymore, I've made up my mind.”Chu Yun said firmly.
Seeing Chu Yun's determination, Hua Jieyu knew that she couldn't persuade him, so she said in a different way,""Since Zong Bao has already made up your mind, I won't persuade you any further. However, I want to go with you so that we can take care of each other if anything happens.”
"Alright then!" In the end, Chu Yun could only nod helplessly.
After the discussion, Chu Yun asked someone to bring in two sets of clothes and gave one to Hua Jieyu. Hua Jieyu took the clothes and went to the inner tent to change. Chu Yun changed his clothes on the spot. He wore a scarf and a pair of cloud shoes. It was the clothes of a gentleman. Hua Jieyu came out. She removed her armor and wore a purple-rimmed traditional shirt and a light black smock. Her black hair was tied up high and pinned with a gold hairpin. She wore jade-white panties and cloud shoes. Her figure was hot and her breasts were bulging. She was like a beautiful woman.
After dressing up, Chu Yun and Hua Jieyu went out and came to the shore of Dongting Lake. At this time, a boat had already been prepared. The two boarded the boat and rowed directly to the shore of Dongting Lake. After a while, another boat followed behind. The boat was full of soldiers disguised as officers. When the soldiers saw Chu Yun and the others 'boat, they shouted hurriedly. Chu Yun rowed even faster.
It turned out that all of this was Chu Yun's plan. From what he knew, most of the bandits in Dongting Lake were hunted down by the government. Most of them were innocent people, so as long as he and Hua Jieyu pretended to be hunted by the soldiers, there was a high chance that they would enter the bandits 'lair in Dongting Lake.
As expected, when the people patrolling the shore saw the soldiers chasing after Chu Yun and his wife, they quickly shot arrows, causing the soldiers to not dare to go forward, thus saving the two of them.
