Chapter 315: Chapter 226 Curiosity of Wu Junwan_2

This made the Martial Emperor, who always preferred to solve problems with military force, feel extremely angry inside. The rebel army was nothing more than a few hundred thousand peasant soldiers, with hardly any martial artists among them. Yet, these few hundred thousand peasants had managed to hold against the Imperial Army for so long.

If it were not for the fear that Great Sum might retaliate against Great Wu at this time, the Martial Emperor might have directly transferred those elite soldiers from the Great Sum border to attack the southwest rebels.

Chai Jiliang belonged to the peace faction in the imperial court; he intended to resolve the southwest turmoil with the least cost and peacefully.

In his view, the reason why those commoners rebelled was because the Martial Emperor had been waging wars abroad for years, making life difficult for the common people. This allowed some schemers to exploit the situation, stirring up the commoners' hatred towards the imperial court.
