Chapter Seventy-Eight: Discussion but Hostility
Ji Fang had a worried look on his face, and he didn't look at Ji Qing, who passed by him, and walked straight into the front hall, arching his hand and saying loudly: "Qi my king, according to the report of his subordinates, Ji Jing, Wang Xu, Yang Han and other three families suddenly secretly assembled private soldiers, which seems to be a bad move."

"Oh?" Ji Yan frowned deeply: "Where are they gathered?" β
"They all went to Ji Jing's Qiuguan Mansion."
"Scatter all your men in Luoyang, and closely monitor the movements of these private soldiers, but if there is any change, report it immediately. By the way, secretly escort the few people who were brought back from the Qin State last time to the imperial physician to wait, you can do this matter personally, don't let people find out, this king will soon be of great use! β
"No!"
After Ji Fang left, Ji Yan said to Ji Dong again: "Immediately invite the old lady, the old general, Zongbo, Taifu, Sikong and others to come to see Gu, by the way, remember to bring this king's warrant." β
"No!"
After Ji Dong hurried away, Ji Yan fell into deep thought.
Judging from the past situation, Ji Jing hoped to kill himself by some secret means, and then justifiably push Ji Ying to the throne, so as to save countless troubles, which is also the reason why they have not forced a d'Γ©tat for a long time. Now, because they learned that the combat strength of the forbidden army had increased greatly, they sensed the crisis, and thought of forcibly launching a coup d'Γ©tat while their current strength was not strong enough, even if they were infamous for usurping the throne and killing the monarch afterwards. Perhaps, the previous assassination really had something to do with them, and the failure of the assassination was one of the reasons why they launched it early.
Now that the 6,000 men of the Sixth Army have been completely controlled by them, plus their private soldiers, there are 12,000 people, and this force is really not to be underestimated. Although the forbidden army is no longer what it used to be, even if you add the five hundred cavalry from the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there are only about 1,008 in total, and it seems that the private soldiers of Zong Bo and others must be used.
I still have a force, that is, Ji Che's 1,800 foot cavalry from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, do they already know about this team? If Lin Bang followed Li Sui to participate in the battle to attack the reinforcements, he should not have known about the existence of this team, because they happened to be fighting with the reinforcements when Ji Che came; But if he didn't follow Li Sui, but was in the forbidden army brigade that had competed with reinforcements before, then he would definitely know that Ji Che had thrown himself into it. Does he know or doesn't he know?
Oh time! If I were given an extra month, even if I had a hard time with them, I wouldn't be afraid at all, but they just launched it now, and they just got stuck at the juncture of my army development, and these old things are really going to pick time!
After waiting for a short time, several old ministers arrived one after another, and after everyone arrived, Ji Yan said straight to the point: "Calling a few Aiqing to come is to discuss with you that Ji Jing and others may launch a coup d'Γ©tat in the near future." β
"Ahh Several people were shocked.
"Don't be surprised, it's always coming. Maybe except for Sikong Xia Xun here, no one else knows about the conspiracy of Ji Jing and others, so this king will tell you about it first. Ji Yan then secretly killed Ji Jing and others to the first king, and used some means to make himself unable to have children, and then planned to secretly kill himself and other things again.
Several people were even more shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect that under the bright future, Ji Jing and several other old ministers were so bold and reckless, daring to kill the king and usurp power, and now they are even more blatant to rob the six armies of the Son of Heaven.
Suddenly, I heard "Smack!" With a bang, Li Gui slapped on the desk and said loudly: "Such a chaotic minister and thief, everyone will be punished!" Don't worry, our king, we don't have a chance to win. Let Wei Yan lead the Thousand Eight Forbidden Army to guard the palace, Ji Che lead the Thousand Eight Field Army, and Lao Chen led the private soldiers of several of our families to go straight to Ji Jing's old nest, as long as Ji Jing is taken, Yang Han and Wang Xu's two accomplices will not be worried. In less than half a day, everything can be settled. At that time, take back the tiger talisman in Yang Han's hand, remove Wang Xu Situ from his position, and the power of the court can return to the hands of my king. β
Several others nodded their heads, believing that Li Gui's method was indeed simple and effective, or that it could be successful in one blow.
Ji Yanqiang said with a smile: "The old general is worthy of the veteran of the battlefield, the method used is clean and neat, and it can be done once and for all." He paused and said, "But it may not work now." First of all, the six armies of the Son of Heaven have been completely controlled by Yang Han, and they are already in combat readiness, and the private soldiers of several of their families have also been assembled. The old general should know that in the event of a scuffle, I am afraid that we will not have much chance with such a small number of troops. β
"If they're prepared, it's really not easy!" Yan Shu thought for a while and said, "Since my king was able to attack more than 10,000 reinforcements with more than 100 cavalry, and finally captured the two dukes, why don't you repeat the old tricks this time and continue to send cavalry to directly arrest these old things?" β
Ji Yan shook his head and smiled: "The old lady thinks too simply. More than 100 cavalry attacked more than 10,000 reinforcements successfully, mainly because of the success of the unprepared sneak attack, and the reinforcement team was on open flat land at that time, which was convenient for the cavalry to charge and kill. Now, Ji Jing and the others have been prepared, a sneak attack is impossible, and besides, it is really difficult for the street fighting cavalry in the city to exert their due power, and it is almost impossible to rush directly into the courtyard to arrest people. β
"What then?" A few people asked worriedly.
"Maybe a surprise win!" Ji Yan said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows, Ji Che's field army is stationed in the barracks outside Miyagi, if Ji Jing and the others don't know about their existence and mobilize all the troops to besiege Miyagi, this team can copy their lair, and maybe it will be the key to our victory." β
"But what if they've already found out?" Li Gui asked.
"If it has been discovered, then let this team stand still, wedged between Miyagi and the Liuqing Mansion, so that the Sixth Army and their private soldiers will not dare to come out. The cavalry of the forbidden army ambushed the open area on the edge of the palace, as long as they dared to send troops to attack the palace, we would fight a tough battle with them, and use the cavalry to attack their foot soldiers and chariots, and see who killed! β
"If they reinforce, Ji Che will lead the field army to attack Ji Jing's Qiuguan Mansion, if there is no reinforcement, the field army and the forbidden army will join forces to eat the troops attacking Miyagi first, and then rush to the Qiuguan Mansion together. Of course, first of all, the private soldiers of your family were able to hold Miyagi under the leadership of the old general. Ji Yan's voice became heavy as he spoke: "As for whether it will succeed in the end or not, this king is really not sure!" Everything depends on the concerted efforts of all the secretaries! β
Ji Yong, who had never spoken, said loudly: "Since you are destined to fight, let it go!" It's a big deal, and the net is broken in the end. Taishi, Taifu, let's go back immediately to gather private soldiers and hand them over to the old general to guard the palace. β
"Good!" Yan Shu and Ding Tong responded at the same time, and as he spoke, he bowed his hand to Ji Yan and said, "Let's leave first!" β
Yan Shu, Ding Tong, Ji Yong, and Li Gui hurriedly left to go back to gather private soldiers, and only Sikong Xia Xun was left in the palace, and he said with shame: "It's a pity that there are no private soldiers in the Weichen Mansion, and when it is so difficult, I can only stand by and watch, and I can't help at all, I'm really ashamed!" β
