After listening to the advice, I rebelled and became an emperor of all ages

"Military Advisor, the kerosene is ready!"

Looking at the increasingly dark sky, Hu Xiehu whispered to the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

There was a hint of nervousness in his voice, and despite his carefree personality, he could feel the magnitude of the task at such a critical moment.

When faced with major issues, he also knows what is righteous for his country and his family.

"Very good!" The middle-aged Confucian scholar nodded slightly, lowered his head, and looked through the thick night sky at the majestic Jialing County in the distance.

The city was vaguely visible in the mist, like a giant beast, quietly guarding the food and supplies of the rebels. At this moment, his eyes flashed with cold light, and he secretly planned the action that was about to be launched.

He knew that now his Northern Barbarians had only one option, which was to cut off the rebel army's source of food and grass.

Yangzhou was the transit station for the rebel army's supplies, and almost all the food and fodder was transported to the northern border from here.

This is a life-and-death moment, and any hesitation could lead to dire consequences.

So, this time he decided to burn down Jialing County and turn all the fertile fields in Yangzhou into scorched earth.

But the consequence of doing so is that they will face crazy revenge from the rebels, and will have no way out under the overwhelming force.

It can be said that their action this time was a suicide attack.

But despite this, they still did not look back, just for the greater good in their hearts, just to fight for a glimmer of hope for the Northern Barbarians.

"Prepare the kerosene and proceed according to the plan." The middle-aged scholar slowly raised his head with a firm gaze, as if he had seen the scene of the scorched earth burning. He knew in his heart that with this blazing fire, the road would be paved for the future of the Northern Barbarians.

As the order was issued, the Northern Barbarian soldiers moved quickly. Kerosene was put into wooden barrels and prepared to be sprinkled along the walls and granaries of Jialing County.

Everyone's face was filled with tension and anticipation, and they knew in their hearts that this was not only a battle, but also a decisive battle of life and death.

"Military advisor, the torches are ready!" Another soldier followed closely behind, holding a torch high in his hand. The flames danced in the night, reflecting the determination on everyone's face.

Seeing the resolute look on everyone's face, the middle-aged scholar took a deep breath, and a surge of blood ignited in his heart. He knew that tonight's action would determine the fate of the Northern Barbarians. He shouted loudly: "Brothers, tonight we have to fight for the future of the Northern Barbarians!"

"For the Northern Barbarians!" The soldiers responded in unison, their voices as loud as thunder, shaking in the night sky.

Even though they knew in their hearts that there would be no return after this departure, they remained fearless, with only determination and courage in their hearts.

"Each of us is the protector of the Northern Barbarians!" The voice of the middle-aged scholar was like a war drum, inspiring every soldier. "We shoulder the heavy responsibility of our country and the expectations of those innocent people. Tonight, we must let the enemy feel our determination!"

"Great Khan, the Northern Barbarians will never forget everything you have done for them, and your descendants, the Great Khan, will definitely be well taken care of!"

"For our homeland, for our children and grandchildren!" The soldiers' voices grew louder and louder, as if they wanted to transmit this momentum to the horizon.

Their hearts were filled with fearlessness and courage, as if at this moment, all fears were dispelled.

"Remember, every drop of kerosene tonight is burning for the future of the Northern Barbarians!" The middle-aged scholar's voice was as firm as iron. "We may lose our lives, but our sacrifice will earn us an infinitely bright future!"

"Tonight, we will make history!"

At this moment, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's expression became more and more determined, and a fearless belief ignited in his heart.

This belief comes not only from the northern barbarians, but also from the fearless warriors in front of them. Each of them is fighting for the same goal, and it is this unity and belief that has ignited the flame of hope in the darkness.

Sometimes, he couldn't help but feel a little fortunate. Perhaps it was because he was used to reading various history books, and what he saw in the history of the Central Plains was mostly intrigue.

Even when faced with threats, they are still thinking about their own interests and how to become stronger.

They are far from being as united as the people in the North, where everyone is working towards a common goal.

More often than not, he even felt that the people in the north were somewhat simple-minded, not as cunning as the Han people in the Central Plains.

At this moment, the rough characteristics of their northern barbarians have evolved into a unique advantage. With such an advantage, he is extremely confident that he can complete the task this time.

Looking at the Jialing County hidden in the night, he seemed to have seen the day when the Northern Barbarians would rise. On that day, the Northern Barbarians' flag would fly high in the Central Plains, symbolizing peace and prosperity, and the sacrifice and struggle of countless warriors.

Even though he was no longer around when the Northern Barbarians took over the Central Plains and could not witness that historic moment, he had no regrets! Because he knew that every bit of his efforts would become a chapter remembered by future generations and become the cornerstone of the Northern Barbarians' rise.

"Everyone, take action now!"

Following his order, everyone quietly headed towards Jialing City.

Just like that, under the cover of night, Hu Xiehu led more than sixty personal soldiers and quietly arrived at the foot of Jialing City.

The moonlight cast a faint glow through the clouds, illuminating the ancient and sturdy city walls, as if quietly guarding the peace in the city.

As the county capital of Yangzhou, Jialing City was strategically located and naturally had strict guards. Even in the inland of the Central Plains, the guards in the city had a two-shift system, and the defense was very strict.

However, they had already thoroughly investigated the military strength in Jialing City during the day. Including the government soldiers who were there to maintain law and order, there were only more than 6,000 rebel troops stationed here, less than tens of thousands.

In fact, the garrison force in Jialing City cannot be considered lax. On the one hand, this is because the rebel army's front line has now advanced to the northern border, and troops are urgently needed, and most of the main forces have been transferred to the front line.

On the other hand, it is because of the geographical location of Jialing City. Jialing City is located in the heart of the Central Plains, thousands of miles away from the background of frequent wars today.

In addition, the rebel army is now at its peak, and no one would have thought that they would dare to take the risk alone and travel thousands of miles to come to Yangzhou.

Because of this, the rebel soldiers on the city wall no longer had any vigilance in the face of a powerful enemy, and the sounds of their chatting and playing echoed in the night sky, sounding particularly harsh.

However, this was their chance. "Everyone be careful and keep quiet." Hu Xiehu whispered to the soldiers around him, trying to keep their voices as low as possible, for fear of alarming the guards on the city wall.

The night was dark and the air was filled with tension, as if even the sound of the wind had become cautious.

Hu Xiehu's heartbeat was particularly clear at this moment, and his mind kept replaying the previous plans and details. He knew that the success or failure of tonight was related to the future of Beiman.

"Prepare the kerosene, and start action when I give the order." He whispered the order, with a decisive light flashing in his eyes.

He was secretly calculating in his mind that they had already figured out the time for the rebels to change shifts. In half a quarter of an hour, the guards on the tower would change shifts.

However, since the shift change required a handover at a special place, although the handover time was only less than two minutes, he understood that this was their best chance.

"As long as we can break through the city wall within those two minutes, we can capture Jialing City in one fell swoop." Hu Xiehu muttered to himself with a determined look in his eyes.

He looked up at the wall of Jialing City, which was obviously much higher than the walls of ordinary cities. There were several soldiers of the Yijun Army patrolling on the wall, looking around vigilantly. If it were an ordinary person, it would definitely be difficult to climb up in two minutes.

But for their elite tiger division, this is possible, because as early as the arrival of winter on the grassland, when food and grass are scarce, they will climb the towering snow peaks with bare hands and hunt for food such as snow leopards that roam on the snow peaks.

As time went by, the guards of Jialing City became more relaxed, and several soldiers yawned on the tower, without any vigilance. Seeing this, Hu Xiehu secretly rejoiced in his heart, as if everything was developing in the direction they expected.

Half a quarter of an hour later, it was time for the rebels to change shifts.

He counted the time silently in his mind, his eyes fixed on the rebel soldiers on the city wall. When he saw the rebel soldiers disappear from his sight, he shouted in a low voice: "Act immediately, now!"

Following his order, the soldiers moved quickly, climbing up the city wall like cheetahs, their movements light and fast, as if blending into the night without making any sound. Everyone knew that time was life, and a slight hesitation could ruin the entire plan.

Hu Xiehu even took the lead personally and, under the cover of deep night, quickly climbed up the city wall.

His fingers were nimble and powerful. He grasped tightly onto the cracks in the stone of the city wall. Using the potholes on the wall, he quickly climbed to the top of the city wall.

He stood on the top of the city wall, secretly rejoicing in his heart, and glanced around to make sure that he didn't find anything unusual. At this time, several personal soldiers followed closely behind him and landed steadily beside him. Hu Xiehu nodded slightly, signaling everyone to keep quiet.

At this time, a northern barbarian poked his head out and carefully looked at the guards who were changing shifts. He saw several soldiers of the rebel army walking towards this side leisurely, chatting with each other, completely unaware of the danger lurking in the darkness.

Hu Xiehu's heart tightened, knowing that the opportunity would be fleeting.

"Quick, prepare the rope!" He whispered, quickly untied the rope on his body, tied it to the battlement, and threw it down. The rope drew an arc in the air and landed steadily under the city wall, waiting for the follow-up soldiers to act quickly and orderly.

We have to get into the city as soon as possible before they notice us." Hu Xiehu said silently in his heart, his eyes fixed on those reckless soldiers, their laughter and chattering sounded particularly harsh in the night sky.

However, they were completely unaware of the dangers lurking in the darkness and continued to chat with each other without restraint.

The soldiers who were changing shifts gradually approached, the sound of Hu Xiehu's heartbeat echoed in his ears, and the tense atmosphere made him feel a little oppressive.

He took a deep breath, silently thinking about the upcoming battle, and then shouted in the darkness: "Deal with them!"

The next moment, several northern barbarian soldiers rushed out of the darkness, holding scimitars, and their bodies were as agile as ghosts, rushing towards the unsuspecting guards. The blades flickered in the moonlight, emitting cold light, as if foreshadowing the impending death.

"Who are you!" A soldier of the rebel army exclaimed, his face showing anxiety and fear, but before he could finish his words, he was suppressed by the Northern Barbarians who rushed over quickly, with the blade already on his neck. Another soldier also failed to escape and was also pulled into the darkness.

The whole process was completed in just a few seconds without any sound, just like a meteor shower across the night sky, disappearing in an instant.

Hu Xiehu observed quietly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their plan was implemented smoothly.

"Spread out and make sure every corner is under control!" He gave the order decisively, and the soldiers quickly dispersed, using their respective advantages to sneak into every corner of the city to ensure that no blind spots were left.

Only at this time did he have the leisure to observe the Jialing City that stood majestically on the vast plain.

Standing on the city wall, the scene before them shocked them.

Under the night sky of Jialing City, the surroundings are quiet and peaceful, with only the breeze blowing gently, everything is so peaceful.

Such a scene would never appear in his northern barbarian land, because they had to struggle hard with the frost and the surrounding environment at all times.

At this time, the middle-aged Confucian scholar also climbed up along the rope.

"Military Advisor, everything is ready!" Hu Xiehu bowed with his hands and said to the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

At this moment, his heart was filled with excitement, because he knew that what was going to happen next would be the thing that could truly determine the future fate of the Northern Barbarians.

"Ok!"

The middle-aged scholar nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the people around him, his face full of determination and expectation, and nodded with satisfaction. His expression revealed a thoughtful confidence, as if he foresaw the upcoming victory.

"Remember, after lighting the kerosene, evacuate quickly and don't fight!" The military advisor's voice was low and firm, as if injecting courage into everyone.

His eyes locked onto Hu Xiehu again, and his tone was filled with urgency, "Our main goal is not to destroy the defenders in the city, but to destroy the resources in Jialing City to the greatest extent possible."

Hu Xiehu and a few others nodded, carrying the wooden barrels full of kerosene in their hands, and walked away.

At the same time, outside the city, the soldiers of the Tiger Division also cooperated silently. They had already spread kerosene all over the field under the cover of night, preparing for a grand feast of fire.

As long as a big fire is lit, it will release the most dazzling fireworks, dyeing the night sky of Jialing City into fiery red.

Seeing that everyone was ready, the middle-aged scholar immediately gave the order, "Action now!"

Instantly, blazing flames burst out like a ferocious beast, and thick smoke billowed up, filling the night sky and engulfing everything. (End of this chapter)
