Two people from the Qin Mansion answered Yang Yizhong's questions one after another.
One of them said: "The rebel who launched the rebellion this time was the rebel Yue Fei.
He must have hidden a private army near Lin'an City and entered Lin'an City at night to cause chaos.
First, he robbed the prison of Dali Temple.
Then he Send troops to Nancheng to cause chaos."
Another added: "Qin Xiangguo first sent us out to report the news to the palace, and he would come to the palace later.
But we took some detours on the way to avoid the bandits, which wasted a lot of time.
I don't know what happened.
Where are my group now?"
After hearing what they said, Yang Yizhong was immediately shocked on the spot.
He never dreamed that Yue Fei would actually rebel.
Then he asked: "Are you sure it's Yue Fei who rebelled?"
"It's absolutely true.
The prison warden of Dali Temple saw it with his own eyes.
The bandits attacked Dali Temple just to rob Yue Fei."
The two of them said in unison.
At this time, several Shenwu Army scouts sent by Yang Yizhong to investigate came back and reported to him: "General Qi, we have made inquiries in the outer city and confirmed that the leader of the rebellion is Yue Fei.
He has sent troops They looted the government offices and the residences of hundreds of officials.
In addition, according to our observation, the armored weapons and weapons of these thieves are not owned by our Song army, so this army should be a private army raised by Yue Fei. " At this time, Yang Yizhong was convinced that Yue Fei had really rebelled.
He slapped his thigh and said, "Well, Yue Pengju, you usually pretend to be a man of five or six, but I didn't expect you to be so scheming and planning so far ahead so early.
Prepare, but where do you usually get so much money to support your private army?"
The current situation does not allow Yang Yizhong to dwell on it.
There is only one thing he cares about at the moment.
"Can you find out how many soldiers the bandit army has?"
Yang Yizhong asked.
The scout who reported the report hesitated for a while, but then reported truthfully: "In Lin'an City, the rebels who participated in the rebellion are distributed throughout the city and the outer city walls and gates.
The specific number is difficult to find out.
We can only estimate it.
To give you an approximate number, the number of thieves is between 800 and 2,000."
After hearing this, Yang Yizhong's eyes lit up.
According to the scout's report, Yue Fei's number was only two thousand at most.
However, he has eight thousand divine warriors in his hands, giving him an absolute advantage in terms of strength.
And now, Yang Yizhong has been waiting for a long time, but there is only the rebels making noises and throwing missiles at the imperial city with long-range weapons, but no real siege operations.
He suspected that the rebels were bluffing.
He thought that if he led five thousand elite soldiers out of the city to fight at this time, he would be very confident that he would defeat the rebels in one blow, which would be a great achievement.
Thinking of this, he ordered his lieutenants on his left and right to assemble their troops to prepare for a counterattack out of the city.
A deputy general who was in charge of the front office of the palace quickly grabbed him and reminded him: "General, we were previously ordered to defend the imperial city and not leave the city.
If we go out to fight without authorization now, even if we win, we will be charged with disobeying the emperor's order.
At most, we will be exempted from punishment.
But In the future, the officials may be more careful about you and us, especially after what happened to Yue Fei, the officials will be even more wary of the generals.
If we are defeated, it will be an irreversible disaster."
The words woke up the dreamer.
After hearing these words, Yang Yizhong took a breath and said: "Our family is really confused.
I will go to see the saint first and ask for instructions before sending troops."
After that, he went to the imperial city.

Go quickly inside.
When he arrived at the canal in the Imperial Garden, braving arrows flying over the imperial city and thunder bombs exploding on the ground, he found that the river was empty and not a single boat was left.
He was shocked and grabbed a Shenwu military captain stationed in the imperial garden and said, "Where have the officials gone?
There is no boat left."
"General, your Majesty has just ordered the fleet to sail out of Lin'an City and avoid the sea for the time being."
After hearing this, Yang Yizhong stamped his feet anxiously.
Immediately, he thought of something else, clapped his thigh and said, "It's over, this time It must be Yue Fei's treacherous plan, and the Holy One is in danger."
At this time, the Qiantang River was filled with the roar of cannons, arrows flying in random directions, and the sound of killings shaking the sky.
Three galloping centipede ships and twenty Viking warships suddenly emerged from the branch on the south bank of the Qiantang River and overtook Zhao Gou's fleet.
Today's centipede ships are no longer small centipede ships with a crew of more than 100 people, but large ships with six rows of oars and a crew of more than 300 people.
Each ship is equipped with a giant ballistae on the bow and five large ballistae on each side.
Fireballs were fired from the Centipede ship, hitting a smaller Song Bing warship in the first shot.
Flames rose into the sky from the deck, and instantly the entire warship deck burned.
The soldiers of the Song Army who were burned into flames jumped into the cold river water.
Those Viking warships also gradually moved closer to the Song warships, and at the same time, the light ballistae mounted on the bottom of the ship also began to throw projectiles at the Song warships.
The soldiers on the Song Army's warships were also Shenwu Army soldiers who had undergone specialized water combat training.
They remained calm in the face of danger.
Under the command of the general, the ships quickly formed a battle formation, guarding Zhao Gou's dragon boat in the middle.
The soldiers on the deck also fired back with their divine arm crossbows.
Arrows shot like a shower towards the Viking ships attacking from all sides.
The Viking sailors of the Chongming Army took off the oversized round shield hanging on the side of the ship and held it above their heads, and "erected" a hatch cover on the originally open-air cabin of the Viking ship.
With the sound of arrows hitting the wood, soon the shields and the side of the ship were filled with arrows.
But these did not prevent the Viking ships from approaching the Song warships.
A Song Army general stood on the bow of the ship and commanded in a hoarse voice: "Quickly, change the rockets and use them to burn their ship."
A fireball suddenly struck from the original place and hit the ship building next to him. superior.
With the sound of the earthen pot breaking, the fierce oil splashed out, and a lot of it splashed on him.
The flames burst into flames, and the general instantly became a man on fire.
He screamed heartbreakingly and was finally forced to jump into the cold river water.
No matter how the Song fleet changed its course, accelerated or decelerated, the three centipede ships were like ghosts surrounding them from a distance, and maintained a distance equivalent to the range of the ballistae, firing projectiles one after another.
These explosive bombs filled with fierce fire oil turned the Song Army's warships into fire ships one after another.
It's a pity that these soldiers on the Song Army's warships had been gearing up for a long time, waiting for the battle, but they were of no use.
Instead, they were buried in the sea of fire and rivers.
Zhao Gou in the dragon boat cabin was trembling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
From time to time, soldiers would come into the cabin to report the latest battle reports, and they also mentioned that the sailors on those strange ships wore armor that was very different from the Central Plains style.
So Zhao Gou took it for granted that Jin Bing had brought a barbarian tribe from somewhere in northern Xinjiang that was good at water warfare.
He murmured to himself: "When did the Jin soldiers have such a powerful navy?"
"Quickly, turn the ship around and return to Lin'an City."
Zhao Gou was frightened and wanted to retreat to Lin'an, but it was too late
