A few months earlier, Liang had sent troops to occupy a disputed piece of land between Chu and Liang, which was not too big or too small, next to the river channel of the northern tributary of the Li River. In fact, there was a reason why Liang dared to do this, because the Emperor of Liang received information that Li Guanghua, the Hui Emperor of Chu, was about to die, and the crown prince Li Youcheng and the fourth prince Li Youheng launched a fierce struggle for imperial power. Emperor Xiao Jiming of Liang State thought that they had no time to take care of the affairs of this land at this time, so he rashly sent troops to occupy it. However, his wishful thinking was wrong, and Chu Jun came as he said it, unequivocally.

In fact, this dispatch was arranged by the crown prince Li Youcheng. Its purpose is twofold: first, to recover this land, although it is not of the Chu State, at least the royal family of the Chu State has saved face; Second, disperse the army, reduce the inevitable losses of internal fighting, and try to minimize the losses of Chu in this palace battle.

In Yincheng, the imperial capital of Chu State, stormy waves had already brewed under the calm sky. In the palace, at this time, the crown prince Li Youcheng was accompanying his father, and Emperor Hui was dying. There was also a young man about twenty years old standing next to him - Li Lingyun. Li Lingyun is the eldest son of Li Youcheng, who has been brilliant since childhood, not only loved by the crown prince Li Youcheng, but also appreciated by Emperor Hui, and his existence made Emperor Hui more firmly guaranteed Li Youcheng's position as the crown prince.

General Su Jing. Su Jing had 50,000 horses outside the imperial capital Yincheng, and he controlled all the main roads into the imperial capital Yincheng. To put it simply, whoever Su Jing is on will have a very good chance of winning this palace infighting.

However, the crown prince Li Youcheng and the Dan king Li Youheng have both wooed him, but Su Jing has not expressed his position. Perhaps, for Su Jing, no matter who wins in the end, it will have no effect on him. Most of the soldiers and horses of the Chu State Army were sent out, and I don't know if it was Li Youcheng's confidence or other reasons that made him dare to be so bold.

In the palace, Li Lingyun said: "Father, let your sons go out to meet this great general Su Jing." Li Youcheng: "No, now the scene outside the palace is out of control, you are out of the palace now, the danger is too great, and my father is not at ease." Li Lingyun: "Father, didn't you also lead an army of 10,000 to go deep into the territory of Zhao State?" The tiger father should have no dogs, ask for the father's consent!" Li Lingyun bowed deeply to Li Youcheng. Seeing that he was so persistent, Li Youcheng laughed: "It is worthy of being my Li Youcheng's son, okay, my father promised you, but remember to be careful in everything." Li Lingyun: "Yes, father." After speaking, Li Lingyun left. After casual clothes, Li Lingyun left the palace.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Lingyun came out of the side door, his fourth uncle led people to the palace. is the most ruthless emperor's family, this sentence is not wrong at all, and it is also well interpreted by Li Youheng. Thrilling all the way, Li Lingyun finally came to the south gate. But he wanted to go out, but was stopped by the guards. The guards questioned him about who he was and what he was out for. Su Jing knew what the situation was now, and specially ordered the guards to strictly check the people who entered and left the imperial capital Yincheng. Li Lingyun didn't say a word, immediately took out the prince token given to him by his father, and said, "I am the eldest son of the crown prince Li Youcheng, Li Lingyun." The guard looked at the token and hurriedly saluted Li Lingyun. One of the guards: "Prince, please wait a moment, I will send someone to inform the general." Li Lingyun: "No need, take me over directly." Guard: "Yes!"

For Li Youcheng, this infighting may have already been won. Transferring all the men and horses of the military department out of the city can not only restrain the general Su Jing, but also prevent the people of the military department from participating in this internal fighting. Because Li Youcheng was worried that some of the people in the military department might be threatened and mutiny, so he would have to spend more manpower and material resources to quell this palace infighting, even if he won the victory in the end, but the consumption of Chu troops was too large, which he did not want to see. There is also the fact that he understands Su Jingde, even if Su Jing is not on his side, he must not be on Li Youheng's side. Therefore, he only needs to rely on the 20,000 Royal Forest Army. Li Youheng's 20,000 horses and royal forest troops can still be dealt with. Of course, Li Quan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, was absolutely loyal to him.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Li Lingyun came to Su Jing's military tent, and the general Su Jing was reading a book at this time. He knows all the storms outside, but he can read here so calmly, he really has the demeanor of a general. In fact, Su Jing did not plan to participate in this palace infighting, because for him, whoever is the emperor and his position as a general will generally not be shaken.

Li Lingyun: "General, Xiao Wang is polite." Hearing the voice, Su Jing knew that someone had come in, and when he looked up, he saw a face he was very familiar with - Li Lingyun. Su Jing is no stranger to Li Lingyun's name, and a twenty-year-old boy can enter the eyes of a general, which shows his strong ability. Su Jing: "It turned out to be Lingyun Gongzi, but I missed the distance, Gongzi, please take a seat." Li Lingyun sat down and said: "General, I won't beat around the bend, this time fratricide is inevitable, my fourth uncle has already sent troops to attack the palace, I want to ask the general to take action to quell this rebellion." Su Jing: "This is an internal matter of your royal family, and it seems that I, a foreign minister, should not interfere!"

The picture turns to the inside of Yincheng, the gate of the palace. At this time, Li Youheng had already led a large army to attack the city gate, and he had to experience such a baptism for hundreds of years, and all the people in the city hid at home and did not dare to come out. Wars are often merciless and can take the lives of others in a split second. And the Imperial Forest Army on the city wall and behind the palace gate is defending to the death, and no one dares to slack off, because this is not only a question of who will be the emperor, nor is it only a question of promotion and wealth, but a question of net worth. Once the door is breached, their lives are not guaranteed.

The General's Military Tent. Li Lingyun: "Isn't it the duty of a general to exterminate the rebels?" Su Jing: "Gongzi is serious, King Dan doesn't want to subvert my Dachu regime, right?" "In fact, Su Jing is a very sympathetic person for soldiers, once he intervenes, it means that he will lose some of his brothers again, so if he can not fight, he will not fight. There are not many warmongers in the world, not to mention that Su Jing is also full of poetry and books, and he has a bit of a literati atmosphere. Li Lingyun: "The general may be reasonable, but has the general ever thought that if my fourth uncle succeeds in seizing power, he will definitely guarantee your position as a general?" Wouldn't he arrange his own henchmen? Su Jing: "What if you don't be a general?" It's a big deal to go back to the mountains, wouldn't you be at ease? Li Lingyun: "Heh! The general said lightly, has the general forgotten how his most beloved woman died at the hands of Koreans, and why his whole family was wiped out overnight? Dare to ask the general, losing this position, can you do this? Standing on my father's side, the position of the general is undoubtedly secured, and if he does not stand on this side, it is difficult to say. Su Jing's face changed slightly.

At the palace, at this time, King Dan's army had broken through the palace gate and entered the palace, but a large number of royal forest troops were guarding behind. The armies on both sides began hand-to-hand combat.

Outside the city, inside the general's tent. Su Jing agreed to Li Lingyun's request and immediately sent troops into the imperial city. The tens of thousands of troops can be described as menacing, like an iron curtain pressing over. The army advanced rapidly, but the formation was not chaotic at all, it was very neat, and Su Jing really led the troops well. After a while, Su Jing's army entered the palace gate. And the people in the military department outside the city had already secretly understood all this, and Tong Xing, the secretary of the military department, knew that it was Li Lingyun Gongzi who said that Su Jing was moved, so he did not move. These people are enough to deal with Lee Woo-hyung's army. He didn't want to make a move.

The army of King Dan, which was in the middle of the battle, suddenly encountered an attack from the rear and quickly collapsed. No one can withstand a two-sided attack, not to mention that their own army is not large in numbers. In this battle, he lost. At this time, King Dan had no intention of fighting again, so he waited to be captured. Suddenly, a soldier ran over and gave King Dan a set of Imperial Guards clothes in his hand. Li Youheng shook his head, and the soldier: "Lord, change it quickly, it's too late, although the prince was defeated in this battle, as long as the prince is alive, it is possible to make a comeback." King Dan took the clothes, quickly put them on, and quickly changed them. The soldier: "Lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood." Let's go, my lord. Soon, the Imperial Forest Army was killed, and King Dan blended in and escaped.

Soon, the battle ended. The Imperial Forest Army lost thousands of men, but Su Jing's troops suffered fewer losses. But the army was slow to find any trace of King Dan. The crown prince Li Youcheng ordered that he must be found no matter what. When Su Jing saw that the battle was over, he led his troops to withdraw from the imperial city and returned to the outside of the city.

In the Jingde Hall of the Chu Imperial Palace, Emperor Hui was dying at this time. The crown prince Li Youcheng and Li Lingyun are by his side. Emperor Hui told the crown prince Li Youcheng to be diligent in governing the country, so that the state of Chu could prosper forever. He touched Li Lingyun's head again and said to the prince: "Cultivate Lingyun well, and after you ascend the throne, you will make him the crown prince, and I am afraid that I will die soon." After speaking, after a while, Emperor Hui closed his eyes and died. With a bell thought, the news of Emperor Hui's death spread throughout the palace, and then everyone in Yincheng knew about it.

Soon after, a soldier came to report that he had found the corpse of a Royal Forester stripped of his armor. Li Youcheng learned that he had guessed King Dan's means of escape, and immediately ordered the whole city to search for him.

Soon, the news of the coup d'état in the state of Chu also reached the state of Qi, and the government and the opposition of the state of Qi were shocked.

The picture turns to the Crane Forest, and at this time, Zhengfeng has already begun to practice the second great lore of Wuji Swordsmanship - Falling Wood Thousand Mountains. The four major moves of Crane Forest Wuji swordsmanship: riding the wind for thousands of miles, falling trees and thousands of mountains, great loneliness and floating dust, and cold and rebellion.

Everything has calmed down, the corpses of the soldiers in the palace are also being disposed of, and some ordinary people are gradually coming out. The streets are slowly returning to their original state, all this is just their royal business, and it has nothing to do with my common people.

In the general's tent, the bloody war reminded Su Jing of everything, including his dead relatives. There is also the figure of a person who also comes to his mind - Crane Forest Dao people.
