Chapter 559 Yu Liang: No, no, absolutely not!
Before the words were even finished, the soldiers from all different timelines were filled with righteous indignation. Just imagining it made it difficult to describe the chill they felt.
The imperial court refused to send troops, and no one came to the rescue. They could only watch helplessly as their soldiers, who had shared life and death with them, fell one after another. Meanwhile, the court was busy building defenses. Who wouldn't feel heartbroken in this situation?
It's no wonder Zu Yue harbored resentment. His elder brother had worked tirelessly for the court's northern expedition, only to die in despair. And now, he was in the same predicament. If he didn't rebel, who would?
Others: True heartbreak is never about making a scene; every time Zu Yue rebelled, the Eastern Jin Dynasty dealt him a heavy blow!
……
Lin Ke continued, "So, the imperial court is utterly inhumane. They see me, Su Jun, as a rebel leader, so let's rebel and show them what's what."
"But no one expected that once the unrest started, it wouldn't be so easy to end!"
Zu Yue: ??? I am of one heart with the Great Jin, but the Great Jin is playing mind games with me!
Yu Liang: ??(ツ)? Look what I just said! What! Come on! You've rebelled! You've become a traitor!
Upon hearing the news of Su Jun's uprising, Wen Qiao reacted swiftly, wanting to go to the capital to defend the emperor.
"However, Yu Liang, who had always been wary of Su Jun, for some reason, stopped worrying about Yu Liang and instead became worried about Tao Kan in the west, even uttering a famous line:
You have crossed the line. (Letter to Wen Qiao)
Life is tough, Sima Rui sighed. The Eastern Jin Dynasty had only recently quelled the rebellion of Wang Dun, and now war had broken out again!
He used to seem like a steady and handsome young man, how come he's so unreliable in his dealings with others?!
Damn it! I'm so angry I could die! I think his head is empty, all that smart face is wasted!
……
"Yu Liang is acting unilaterally, and now Su Jun has already raised an army. Court officials Kong Tan and Tao Hui have advised him:"
Since things have come to this, we can only take precautions as soon as possible. Before he arrives, we must guard the ferry crossings across the river and block the route to Fuling…”
"Realistically speaking, that's not wrong. Since we've already forced them to rebel, why not hurry up and prepare for battle instead of waiting until the enemy is at the gates?"
"But ironically, when the clear-headed ministers encountered Yu Liang, he still wouldn't listen and kept repeating himself like a tortoise chanting scriptures."
Wan Chao's people: ??? A rebel leader, wouldn't you be incredibly happy to have a leader like this!
"Therefore, in November of that year, Su Jun's forces captured Gushu, seized salt and grain, and soon their army was at the gates of Jiankang."
"It was only at this point that Yu Liang truly regretted his actions, but was it too late?"
Su Jun: Wasn't I summoned? I'm coming to Jiankang!
"As for the Eastern Jin court, oh no, I mean Yu Liang's side, they made several arrangements. For example, they arranged for his younger brother Yu Yi to lead several hundred men in white to guard Stone City, and ordered Sima Liu to guard Cihu, but they were quickly wiped out by the rebels."
"After that, Huan Yi, the Prefect of Xuancheng, seized the opportunity and moved into Wuhu. He was not only a loyal minister of the Jin Dynasty, but also the father of Huan Wen, the powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
"But then again, the situation in the capital is not optimistic. Generally speaking, if someone leads troops to come to our aid, we should at least agree, such as Xi Jian, the governor of Xuzhou."
"But our Yu Liang rejected it again and again. It really makes one wonder if he's only good at wielding power and doesn't understand military affairs at all!"
Wan Chaozhongren: This is not a doubt, it's a fact!
"However, Yu Liang actually had another chance. In February of 328 AD, Tao Hui suggested that Su Jun would come from Xiaodanyang South Road, and the court could make an ambush plan."
"As for the result, I don't even want to talk about it. If the previous opportunities were a bit of a pity, then this missed opportunity is so infuriating that it makes you want to vomit blood."
"Because, as Tao Hui said, Su Jun attacked by taking the Xiaodanyang Road, but unfortunately he got lost and his troops were no longer organized. He had to rely on locals to lead the way out."
"When Yu Liang found out, he regretted it again and again. If he had known this would happen, he would have taken advantage of the man's illness and killed him. He would not have let the rest of the group die because of this."
Everyone in the Eastern Jin Dynasty: (???) Holy crap! Damn it! This guy must have been sent by the other side!
