Chapter 2770

Ling Yuan's team directly expanded to 30,000 people. After being screened, many people did not meet the requirements of the Sharp Knife Regiment, so they were directly given to Ling Yuan. After that, Ye Tiandao eliminated another 20,000 people, bringing Ling Yuan's team to 50,000 people.

Pei Yong's army has expanded to 1.5 million. He, Xiao Yunfang and Meng Qingyin each led an army of 500,000 troops, and they continued to advance towards the imperial capital.

However, after Ye Liuyun left the imperial capital, the chaos in the imperial capital did not stop.

Those big forces, especially those who have lost all their wealth, will naturally let the empire give an explanation. If they can't find the culprit, they will not agree to unseal the imperial capital.

This also made Ye Liuyun's recruitment of martial arts experts go smoothly, and the empire had no time to interfere with him.

And the empire is also suffering. Their treasury was also stolen. But the empire couldn't leak this news, lest it cause even greater confusion. If those big forces find out, maybe they will join hands to overthrow Liu Qiang's rule.

The emperor Liu Qiang also stopped his cultivation at this time and came out to preside over the overall situation. The gold-armored and silver-armored guards in the palace are all on standby at all times.

Some other small powers also followed the big powers. Even if they didn't lose anything, they all said that they had lost something and wanted the empire to pay compensation.

The excuses of these big and small forces are the same, that the empire should be responsible for the safety of the imperial capital. Now that the families of the people in the imperial capital have been stolen, the empire should be responsible for compensation. Then it is up to the empire to track down the thieves and recover the resources.

Liu Qiang also asked the silver-armored guards to search for suspicious persons from house to house every day. Almost all the idlers in the imperial capital were arrested and interrogated, but there was no news of the thief.

Of course Liu Qiang knew that it was Ye Liuyun who did it. But even if he is pretending now, he has to act like it.

If he finds out that it was Ye Liuyun who moved, those powerful forces will have to make him compensate. At that time, these families will definitely say that he provoked Ye Liuyun and implicated them. They didn't dare to go to Ye Liuyun, so they could only join forces to settle accounts with the empire.

But he was really curious, how did Ye Liuyun manage to steal so many houses at once, and even disappear out of thin air in the imperial capital.

The imperial capital has been sealed off for half a month, but it still can't be unblocked, and those big forces don't agree. The news has spread throughout the empire.

Ye Liuyun's side has been hurrying to recruit people, recruit soldiers, and rob planets. He even showed up in person to recruit martial arts experts in order to get rid of the suspicion of stealing resources.

In the end, Liu Qiang was also annoyed by these powerful forces.

"Since you are unreasonable, don't blame me for being rude!"

When he thought of this, he also took action against a big faction that took the lead in the happiest. The golden armored guards dispatched 20,000, and the silver armored guards dispatched 100,000, directly wiped out that big family. All family resources were confiscated.

Liu Qiang's strong suppression made other forces afraid on the surface, but they secretly united more closely to study the overthrow of Liu Qiang's rule.

Several of their families have been stolen now. If they don't take action to rob the empire, or rob other small forces, then they can't survive.

So just when Liu Qiang thought it was all right and was about to announce the unblocking of the imperial capital, these big forces rushed into the imperial palace together, causing civil strife.

In this way, Liu Qiang didn't dare to unseal the imperial capital again, so he could only wipe out these powerful forces first, and then start the bloodbath of the whole city again.

Liu Qiang also simply took action against the small forces that were making trouble before, and robbed them by the way, which could more or less make up for his losses.

But these big and small forces, their family power is not limited to the part of the capital, and their branches are all over the place. After learning that their main line was destroyed by the empire, they immediately surrendered to Ye Liuyun to prevent the empire from liquidating them later.

These forces even took the initiative to rob the City Lord's Mansion before surrendering, and dedicated all the resources of the City Lord's Mansion to Ye Liuyun, which should be considered as protection fees.

So Ye Liuyun won the support of more people without doing anything. The army advances faster and occupies more planets. And he didn't leave anything to the empire at all, and directly collected it when he occupied the planet, or directly took away the original power and caused the planet to collapse.

The civil strife of those big forces in the empire also involved the army. Liu Haotian, Meng Wenxiang and more than 20 commanders, big and small, all belonged to the children of those powerful forces who caused chaos, so they were stripped of their powers on the spot.

Fortunately, the other leaders did not embarrass them. And Han Qiao led troops to guard Liu Haotian and Meng Wenxiang. Meng Wenxiang's army also followed Han Qiao to protect their commander, so it was difficult for the empire to decide how to deal with Liu Haotian and other commanders.

Without the command of Liu Haotian and Meng Wenxiang, Han Qiao had no idea himself, so he could only ask Ye Liuyun for help.

Ye Liuyun rushed over immediately, first asking Liu Haotian and Meng Wenxiang for their opinions. Because if he wanted to save people, he had to ask for their consent. Otherwise, if he forcibly rescued them, it would ruin their reputation and turn them into traitors.

In the end, Liu Haotian decided to stay, even if he died, he must show his loyalty to the empire.

And Meng Wenxiang decided to join Ye Liuyun. The family is gone, and he no longer has any scruples, and he no longer wants to be loyal to the empire. The same is true for Han Qiao, who wants to defect directly to Ye Liuyun. Liu Haotian also agreed with Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao's approach, asking them to follow Ye Liuyun well in the future.

It wasn't just Meng Wenxiang and Liu Haotian, the other captured commanders also unanimously asked Ye Liuyun to rescue them together. Ye Liuyun didn't refuse either, it was a matter of convenience anyway.

Afterwards, Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao bid farewell to Liu Haotian with tears, and directly led their 400,000 troops to defect to Ye Liuyun. Some of the other commanders defected to Ye Liuyun and brought an army of 200,000. Some of the others fled without troops, and some just fled with some personal guards.

Just like that, Ye Liuyun went to the military camp and brought back 600,000 troops.

No one in the imperial army dared to stop Ye Liuyun, they could only watch helplessly as the 600,000 troops were taken away by Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun brought them back, he still asked Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao to take charge of the 600,000 troops and let them manage it themselves. It was just a change of designation, and it became the main force of the Wolf Borzoi Army.

Liu Qiang was furious after learning the information. The recent incidents were bad enough, but now even the army has lost 600,000 at once, so how can he not be angry? Originally, the number of troops was not enough, but now it is even less.

So he vented his anger on Liu Haotian, thinking that he was not strict with his subordinates, encouraged his subordinates to defect, and ordered him to be executed.

Afterwards, he remembered Liu Haotian's suggestion and asked the silver-armored guards to act, and began to arrest a large number of martial arts from big and small families to fill the army, quickly replenishing the source of troops.
