Li Ling's story made everyone in the room look more serious, and they agreed with him, especially after seeing the weak combat power of the Luotian Cult rebels today, their doubts naturally became even heavier.

After a moment of silence, Wen Xuan asked a question: "So, according to the adults, what conspiracy did they have? It was just to disrupt the entire Jiangnan area, or was it all just a trick, and there was a bigger plan?"

This time Li Ling failed to give an answer. Although he had some thoughts in his mind, he still failed to form. The others frowned and thought hard, but they were also clueless. The relevant clues that could be obtained in their hands were too few. Even the middle-level members of the Luotian Sect like Wang Zhou and Fang Jinbo were unable to provide further information, and it was even more impossible for them to make inferences out of thin air.

"Are they just trying to weaken our Great Vietnamese national strength? Just like the Southwest Rebellion, the Jiangnan Rebellion was just an introduction, and another further conspiracy fell elsewhere?" Li Ling suddenly turned this thought in his mind and said something uncertain.

Wan Shenji nodded first, then shook his head: "What the lord said seems reasonable. After all, Jiangnan is a major place for our dynasty's money, grain and wealth. Once the chaos is here, it will have a great impact on the whole world. However, the problem is that if it is just a chaos of this scale, it will not be too long. As long as the troops and horses of Jinling come out, they can sweep away all rebellions!" The combat power of the rebels has been seen today. No matter how many people there are, they cannot be the real enemy of the official army.

"But their damage to the local area will not disappear because of this... Not to mention the flood, the rebels' burning, killing, abducting and looting alone will be enough to make it difficult for Jiangnan to recover within a few years. The money, grain and taxes sent to the court will inevitably be greatly reduced." The chief clerk of Tian immediately put forward his own opinion, which was quite reasonable.

Li Ling nodded deeply: "There is another point that they made things so big that they would inevitably expose many hidden forces in the past. After this rebellion, whether it is the Jiangnan government or the imperial court, they will inevitably carry out a big purge. In this way, I am afraid that the price they paid is not smaller than that of us."

After a pause, he gave his own conclusion: "So I think they are not just thinking about disrupting the situation in Jiangnan this time, and they must have greater plans! Also, judging from the previous explanations of Fang Jinbo and Wang Zhou, they also have absolute confidence in taking down Jiangnan. This is the case, and the same is true for other Luotian scholars.

"It is this vision that allows them to launch a rebellion without any worries. If the senior members of the Luotian Cult suddenly propose a change of policy at this time, do you think those below will accept it? And once any organization loses the hearts of the people below, it will be a rootless tree and will inevitably die. I think it is impossible for those of the Luotian Cult to do such a ridiculous thing with the stability of those of the Luotian Cult."

Li Ling's words were indeed reasonable, which made everyone else nodded. But then the question turned back. Since that's the case, what are they planning for Jiangnan?

After another silence, Li Ling spoke again: "In fact, what those people want in such a rebellion are population, wealth and city land. Judging from their strength, it is obvious that it is impossible to seize certain cities in a normal way. Even if they really rely on surprise attacks, they cannot defend them. Moreover, the general city is not attractive to them. As for the population of money, without the support of the city, they only get the castle in the air, so in the end it is still on a key city..." Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned and shouted, "Jinling!"

The others were also shocked by his voice, and Wen Xuan was even more surprised: "Sir, their ultimate goal is to take down Jinling?"

"Yes, think about it, what did Wang Zhou say? He said that the order he received was to lead the rebels to the vicinity of Jinling. Although he was not asking him to lead his army to attack Jinling, his intention was actually very clear, and he was going to Jinling City.

"A little earlier, what Fang Jinbo told me, these important figures of the Luotian Sect gathered in Jinling several times a year. Obviously, Jinling is an important stronghold of them, or a target they have long been targeted by them. In fact, with the importance of Jinling in Jiangnan, anyone knows that if they want to seize the entire Jiangnan territory, they must first take down this city, rely on this, and then spread to all directions."

Wen Xuan nodded and agreed: "The dragon and tiger occupies the Jinling City, which has always been a must-fight for military strategists in the south of the Yangtze River. Many dynasties have established capitals here, forming a confrontation between the north and the south. Moreover, this city is built with stones, and is the most solid and easy to defend. As long as they really get the city, even if the court reacts and sends troops to attack, it will be difficult to achieve success in a few years!"

"There is another thing that I have always wondered why I stocked up huge amounts of food in Huating. If I only use it for recruiting soldiers, it would be too much. Now I can figure it out, just to seize and defend Jinling in the future." Li Ling's thinking had a direction at this time, and some of the doubts and details of the previous ones were quickly pieced together. "From now on, I only have five or six hundred miles to reach Jinling. If I transport it with all my strength, I can send the food into it within half a month. And you should also know a truth. As long as there is enough food and grass and enough troops, it will not be too difficult to defend a city like Jinling for two or three years.

"Will my Dayue really use tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 troops to spend several years attacking Jinling City? What if the Luotian Sect rebellion in various parts of the Central Plains, such as Huguang? What if the Guirong from the north moves to the south suddenly?

"If that day comes, I'm afraid the world is in chaos. I don't know how many people will die because of it, and the dynasty may change because of it."

After some inference, everyone was stunned and cold sweat flowed down.

Anyone can imagine that once Li Ling's speculation really appears, the Great Yuezhen, which seems to be at its peak, may fall apart. With one land and one city, it is the limit that the Luotian Sect, who are not powerful enough, but are everywhere and have been arranged, can achieve.

The atmosphere in the hall was more depressing than before, and everyone's expressions became extremely heavy, and they all fell into deep thought. If things were like this, it would have become a dead end. With the identity and ability of everyone here, it would be impossible to change the upcoming major change in Jiangnan.

Li Ling felt even more powerless and bitter. The court sent him here to be an official to guard against the possible rebellion of the Luotian Sect. However, the inference in front of him made him feel a strong sense of powerlessness. He was in Jiangnan, but it was impossible for him to change the overall situation. The only thing he could do was to guard Huating and leave this batch of food that might enter Jinling.

But how much can this help? It can be inferred from the amount of grain stored here that Luo Tian Sect did not put eggs in the same basket. Other places in Jiangnan must have their food storage land. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of kilograms here, the overall situation will not change much.

Suddenly, a "No!" interrupted Li Ling's thoughts. When he turned to look, he saw Wan Shenji shaking his head gently: "Sir, your speculation is a little unreasonable."

"What point?" Li Ling asked hurriedly, not only not being upset, but was full of expectations.

Wan Shenji said with a serious expression: "That is, Jinling is the important city of my Dayue in Jiangnan, and there are also a governor in charge, with 100,000 troops! You also said that as long as there is enough food and troops, the court will not easily capture Jinling, let alone rebels. Where did they get the strength to capture Jinling in a short period of time?"

Yes! Li Ling clapped his hands hard, and he was really a little too pessimistic. He ignored the key that Jinling was still in the government's control, and actually agreed that Jinling would definitely be taken away by them.

As soon as this thought was opened, Li Ling became confident again, but his expression was still serious: "You are right. Their target is in Jinling, but they have not succeeded yet. So, the current rebellions are preparing to seize Jinling..."

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly flashed, and he had already figured out the conspiracy of those people in Luotian Cult: "They used various means to instigate the people of Jiangnan to rebel in order to mobilize the troops from Jinling to leave the city, and then they could take advantage of the opportunity to launch a real attack and take down important figures like the governor in the city in one fell swoop, so as to control the whole city!"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was reasonable. With his eyes brightened, his fists were clenched: "We must not let their conspiracy succeed, we must report it to Jinling as soon as possible!"

"What the master is thinking is that, but the officials think that this is probably too late. Now there is a lot of chaos outside. Even if we send people to Jinling, we may encounter an unexpected accident on the way." Master Tian reminded him, which made Li Ling slightly stunned, and had to admit that what he said was reasonable.

The road from Fucheng to Huating is not peaceful, let alone Jinling hundreds of miles away. Moreover, at this time, there must have been many rebels heading towards Jinling, and the messengers of the government will inevitably become their primary target for hunting.

The road to warning is no longer accessible, but is there any other way to go?

Li Ling fell into deep thought again, but this time, he couldn't think of a proper way. Could it be that he just guarded Huating and waited for the court to send troops south?

"Sir, I think our existence is a way to break the deadlock. As long as we take the initiative to attack, we can disrupt their entire conspiracy and help Jinling reduce the burden!" Wan Shenji spoke again and expressed his thoughts.

Li Ling and others were stunned for a moment, then looked at him: "What do you mean is to take the initiative to send troops to quell the rebellion?"

Is this reliable? Li Ling is a little vague.
