Chapter 304: Counter War (II)
Defeat is like a mountain! There is nothing wrong with that. Just after the devil cavalry launched a charge, inspiring the three iron cavalry such as the Beirong elite cavalry and the bandit army, Ji Qingchen's offensive became very ferocious, and Li Fang's army was defeated and retreated, until Li Muzhi invested the most powerful army and did not save the defeat, he could only watch the army being slaughtered by Ji Qingchen's iron cavalry, and three years of hard work were ruined!
It's just that Li Muzhi was determined to fulfill Ji Qingchen, and he didn't do anything when he was defeated, neither chose to leave the battlefield, nor did he choose to surrender Ji Qingchen, but stood quietly on the battlefield like a javelin.
Because the main general Li Muzhi did not leave, his subordinates naturally did not dare to leave, otherwise they would be punished as deserters.
Therefore, when the battle reached the last moment, Xu Dachun's devil cavalry, Huang Taiji's Beirong elite cavalry, and Cao Yukun's bandit army were all soft.
Seeing this scene, Ji Qingchen said to Bai Xiangcheng beside him, "Order, as long as they surrender, they will not be killed!" ”
"No!" Bai Xiangcheng received the order and rode away.
In an instant, the order was conveyed to the battlefield, shouted through the mouths of the Beirong and Northern Liao cavalry, and in just an instant, half of Li Fang's subordinates surrendered, and with the surrender not killed, and the rebels had only a dead end, many people who waited and watched also chose to surrender.
In a moment, I saw a surrendered pawn squatting on the battlefield, and the black pressure was quite impressive!
At this time, Li Muzhi's posthumous independence was even more obvious, he only had 300 guards around him, and these 300 people were veterans who followed him through a hundred battles, so they did not participate in the war.
When the enemy surrenders, the battle is over!
At this time, Ji Qingchen rode towards Li Muzhi, he walked very slowly, and there were also three hundred guards around him.
When the distance between the two sides was a hundred steps, Ji Qingchen restrained the war horse and looked at Li Muzhi quietly, Li Muzhi glanced at Ji Qingchen and didn't say anything.
"You don't have to follow this king-" Ji Qingchen ordered the guards beside him, and rode towards Li Muzhi again. He walked in front of Li Muzhi, because of Li Muzhi's relationship, the guards around Li Muzhi were not wary of him.
"What are General Lee's plans for the future?" Ji Qingchen asked.
Li Muzhi is a famous general of Dayan, a hero of Dayan, and the first person in the Dayan military in addition to Bai Jin.
"When you're old, it's time to be a servant, the battlefield will be the world of your young people!" Li Muzhi said with emotion.
In addition to Ji Qingchen, there are also Bai Xiangcheng and Li Changzheng, the grandson of Bai Jin of Bai Xiangcheng, Li Changzheng is his grandson, for Li Muzhi and Bai Jin, they finally have a successor, so they don't have to worry about who can take on the heavy responsibility of the family.
"General Li, Dayan is now in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and it is the time to employ people, I hope the general can consider it carefully!" Ji Qingchen sighed and said, his tone was very sincere, no matter what hatred he had with Cui Jingsheng, Empress Dowager Cui and Ji Qian, there was no deep hatred between him and Li Muzhi, Li Muzhi was one of the families of the Seven Great Families, and he was the cornerstone of Dayan Sheji, how could he allow Li Muzhi to do it?
Isn't Bai Jin already out of the mountains to guard King's Landing now? Li Muzhi can't do it, otherwise who will check and balance Bai Jin?
This is the way of the emperor.
Even the current Ji Qingchen is not the emperor of Dayan, and he has a lot of trust in Bai Jin.
But the way of the emperor is a strategy of checks and balances, and no matter which courtier you trust very much, this strategy will not change.
"Doesn't Your Highness think that the old man is already redundant?" Li Muzhi asked, there was no murderous insight, no hostility, no frustration in his eyes, only calm and indifference.
For a person like Li Muzhi, it is very simple to become famous, but he didn't do it, and used his own failures to achieve Ji Qingchen.
How can a person who can make such a decision be the kind of person who is tempted by a little profit?
"What does this king want to say, General Li knows it in his heart, so why ask knowingly?" Ji Qingchen didn't want to break through the trick, because he knew that Li Muzhi understood.
He is indeed sad with Ji Qian and Queen Cui, and his relationship with Cui Jingsheng is also very bad.
But it's really because of the different positions of the two sides.
Therefore, this time he marched into King's Landing City, he could deal with Ji Qian and Empress Cui, but he would not be able to target Cui Jingsheng, let alone him Li Muzhi?
In fact, this is the consistent practice of the emperors of Dayan, that is, only for the mastermind and not for the accomplices. And the accomplices will take the initiative to break away from the old master once the new monarch is determined.
Therefore, the kings of the Great Yan Dynasty allowed the Seven Great Families to participate in the battle for the crown prince without restrictions.
"What has Your Highness decided to do?" Li Muzhi, who had been silent for a moment, asked, his eyes were close to Ji Qingchen, because he wanted to hear Ji Qingchen tell the truth.
"Leaving the country is the fierce enemy of Dayan, we can't be careless, so this king decided to send the commander of Baixiangcheng 200,000 Northern Liao Iron Cavalry north to Ningzhou, to assist Liu Donglou to deal with Senior Brother Mu Feng, with the strength of Ningzhou's 200,000 army, plus Baixiang City's 200,000 Northern Liao Iron Cavalry, to deal with the 400,000 Iron Cavalry of Liguo, we will not fall behind in terms of troops, as for the ability to command the army, it must be slightly inferior, but we take advantage of the time and location and the people, as long as we are cautious in defense, it is not a problem to drag one or two of the Liguo Iron Cavalry." Ji Qingchen opened his mouth and said, this is a countermeasure he had thought of a long time ago, and he didn't hide anything in the face of Li Muzhi, so he said bluntly, "As for King's Landing City, this king only needs 100,000 horses, and when the time comes, he will meet with the 200,000 troops of the second and fourth brothers, and he will definitely be able to eradicate the power of Ji Qian and Empress Cui in one fell swoop——"
Li Muzhi didn't say anything after listening to Ji Qingchen's words, and it was obvious that Ji Qingchen's answer made him dissatisfied.
In fact, his sentence is a pun, in addition to asking Ji Qingchen how to deal with leaving the country, there is also a potential problem, that is, to ask Ji Qingchen how to deal with Ji Qian and Empress Cui and others in King's Landing.
Seeing Li Muzhi's expression and reaction, Ji Qingchen knew what Li Muzhi was thinking in his heart, he pondered for a while and replied, "No matter what Ji Qian did, but he is still the brother of this king, the son of his father, this king can't do anything to him except imprison him, and Queen Cui can't do anything to him, as for Cui Jingsheng, he is the head of one of the seven great families, the seven great families are the cornerstone of the Great Yan Jiangshan Sheji, this king can't do anything to him, the purpose of this march into King's Landing City is to end the internal strife and unify with the outside world, Solve the crisis of Dayan's current situation. ”
Seeing that Li Muzhi was still indifferent, Ji Qingchen, who had thought for a while, continued to reply, "As for who will be the new monarch of Dayan, it depends on the meaning of the father, the father has already made a will, as soon as this king returns to King's Landing City, he will take out his father's will and make it a new monarch——"
This sentence is Ji Qingchen's killer feature, and he knows that as long as he says this sentence, Li Muzhi will be shaken.
Because no matter what Li Muzhi does, he is the head of one of the seven great families, he can't rebel and rebel, he will only follow the new monarch, the true monarch of Dayan.
Therefore, if Ji Qingchen rebels, he will resolutely not support Ji Qingchen.
Unless Ji Qingchen has the ability to rebel, his descendants can always inherit the throne of the Great Yan Kingdom, otherwise the monarch of the Li family will be in danger.
"Really? Does Your Majesty have a will? Li Muzhi was also moved when he heard Ji Qingchen's words, because this is a great news, because no matter how far the three kings fight with Ji Qian, what will be the result between them, as long as Ji Qingchen has this killer feature, he will be justified when he returns to King's Landing, and when the time comes, he will open the will, in addition to Ji Qian, no matter who among the three kings ascends the throne and calls the emperor Ji Qingchen is the greatest hero, and he is the lord above ten thousand people under one person, and if the person written in the will is Ji Qingchen, When the time comes, Ji Qingchen will inherit the position of the monarch of Dayan Kingdom, and others will not say any gossip, and the name is justified.
"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, paused and continued, "Just before his father died, he came to the palace to find this king, in addition to explaining to this king, let this king force to block the national railway to ride south, is to let this king remember the will he made, and can show it to everyone at a critical moment, so that the new monarch can successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor!" ”
"Your Majesty—" Li Muzhi shouted in a choked tone.
At this moment, he couldn't help but begin to admire Emperor Yan.
Because Emperor Yan did not make it clear who the prince was, he naturally did not clarify the heir of the monarch of the Great Yan Kingdom, so there was today's infighting, which made Li Muzhi very puzzled, and he was quite dissatisfied with Emperor Yan, and did not make proper arrangements for why he would not make proper arrangements after his death. But now after Ji Qingchen said this, Li Muzhi knew that Emperor Yan Dao had already made arrangements, but the arrangements were more appropriate.
Because when Ji Qingchen, who held 600,000 iron horses, read out the will, who would dare to disobey once the will was announced?
"General Li, everything that this king should say has already been said, please think carefully!" Ji Qingchen said again, his tone was very sincere, because with Li Muzhi marching into King's Landing City with him, he felt that he would be more smooth, and even if Bai Jin wanted to stop him, it would probably be impossible.
"Is what Your Highness said true?" Li Muzhi confirmed again.
"This king is not lying!" Ji Qingchen said affirmatively.
"In this case, the old man will return to King's Landing City with His Royal Highness and open His Majesty's will together!" Li Muzhi thought about it and made up his mind and said.
In fact, this is Ji Qingchen's reciprocation to Li Muzhi because Li Muzhi fulfilled himself.
Because as long as Li Muzhi marches into King's Landing City with him, and then opens Emperor Yan's will together, Li Muzhi will be a great hero in front of the new monarch at that time, which will only be good for Li Muzhi and not harmful.
"Thank you, General Lee!" Ji Qingchen was overjoyed when he heard Li Muzhi's words, because with Li Muzhi, his road to King's Landing would become more open.
Li Muzhi didn't say anything, just kept silent. And Ji Qingchen, who was happy, didn't bother Li Muzhi much, and left on horseback.
Because he still has a lot of things to deal with, and when he does, he can enter King's Landing!
