Half of Dayan's courtiers gathered in the Taiji Palace, and they were summoned here by Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng, including all the princes except for the fourth prince Lu Wang Ji Wen, and even the children of marginal royal families like Ji Zhao were summoned here. Because Empress Cui wants to tell everyone one thing, that is, Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, betrayed King's Landing City and is now fleeing to Northern Liao. Queen Cui is telling everyone about this matter now, just to make Ji Qingchen's incident a major crime of rebellion, and want Dayan to go north to Liaozhou with all his elite troops and kill Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao.

In fact, just now when Ji Qingchen was fighting with Cui Qiancheng, Cui Fang, and Jiang Xiong, Empress Dowager Cui also sent troops to surround Ji Ping's Song Wangfu and Ji Hongchang's Ning Wangfu, saying that it was to protect the safety of the two, but the two knew very well in their hearts that this was the prelude to Ji Qian's imprisonment and the prelude to Ji Qian's ascension to the throne and emperor.

However, the two are not worried about their lives.

Because there are 60,000 elite soldiers of their three kings outside the city, and their army is already moving to King's Landing, and Ji Wen's 100,000 army is all cavalry, it only takes six or seven days to kill King's Landing, as long as the two of them and the ministers can hold on, not threatened by Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng, hold on for six or seven days, and when Ji Wen's army arrives in King's Landing, they will have the qualification to fight with Ji Qian.

As for Ji Qingchen's forced departure from King's Landing, this was the result they had long expected.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that despite such a big effort by Queen Cui, Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian, Ji Qingchen still left King's Landing City easily, and even his family members were taken away.

This is something that neither of them expected, could it be that Ji Qingchen's strength has developed to such a strong point? Or, could it be that Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian's deployment are all tofu scum? When he met Ji Qingchen's hundreds of guards and the two thousand elite horsemen who suddenly appeared, he was calmly left King's Landing City?

Actually, the two of them thought this because they misunderstood Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian.

They are well deployed, and they are doing it step by step. With their precise deployment, even if they give Ji Qingchen an extra two thousand fine horses, he will not be able to get out of King's Landing. The problem arises here.

The first is that Ji Qian's order was a bit slow, and he didn't let Cui Fang and Ning Bai rush to the Northern Liao Palace's mansion in time, which caused Ji Qingchen to rush out of the palace as soon as he faced the defenders who were only 1,000, reducing the losses of the guards around him.

The second is that Ji Qian, as the chief general of the city defense of King's Landing, did not issue military orders to the defending generals in time, which caused the defending generals to not block the enemy when Ji Qingchen's horse team rushed to the city gate, but opened the city gate and let go of Shu'er and others, so that Ji Qingchen had no worries and was able to calmly go out of the city when waiting for Xiaotian to kill.

Otherwise, with the intention of Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng, let Ji Qian's soldiers and horses take the lead, completely consume Ji Qingchen's combat power, and then block them at the city gate, so that Jiang Xiong can capture and kill them in one fell swoop!

It's a pity that it's a hundred secrets!

still let Ji Qingchen escape from their carefully prepared plan.

Therefore, Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng were so angry that they would summon the ministers to the Taiji Hall and immediately convict Ji Qingchen who escaped from King's Landing.

It's just that Empress Cui said what she meant, and she saw that except for the Hou Party and Cui Jingsheng's Eight Princes and the party in the Taiji Palace, the rest of the people were silent.

Because everyone is not stupid, before the new heir is determined, among the princes, the second prince Ji Ping, the third prince Ji Hongchang, the fourth prince Ji Wen and the eighth prince Ji Qian, and the ninth prince Ji Qingchen all have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of Emperor Dayan, and in this case, unless someone who has a deep grudge against Ji Qingchen will support the proposal of the queen and Cui Jingsheng, otherwise they do not dare to offend Ji Qingchen.

Therefore, Ji Qingchen has already left King's Landing, because there will be 600,000 elite horsemen by his side.

As long as Ji Qingchen can return to King's Landing City safely and lead these 600,000 elite horsemen south, he will have enough capital to compete with the princes for the throne. At that time, who will dare to say that other people's traitors and whose people are rebellious?

Seeing that only the courtiers on her own side supported her, and the rest of the people did not speak, Empress Cui was angry, especially when she saw Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang standing leisurely in the main hall, which made her even more angry. Just before, she had sent troops to besiege the palace of the two, and she had already sent a clear signal to let the two obey her and stop fighting with Ji Qian. But now seeing that the two of them were unmoved by their threat, Queen Cui naturally felt that she was ignoring it.

Therefore, she glanced around at the ministers in the main hall, fixed her gaze on the second prince Ji Ping, and asked with a slight anger in her words, "Ji Ping, tell me about it, whether what the mourning family said makes sense!" ”

"My father died, and now the major affairs in the court and China are dominated by the decision of the queen's mother, and the sons and daughters dare not trespass!" Ji Ping said respectfully. In normal times, his attitude would definitely be able to please Queen Cui, but now, it is equivalent to slapping Queen Cui in the face.

But just like Ji Ping said, since the death of Emperor Yan to the present, she has the final say in all major matters, and when everyone has not intervened, what would she be willing to argue with her now? So Empress Cui was deflated on Ji Ping, moved her gaze to Ji Hongchang and asked, "Hongchang, what do you think?" ”

"Erchen agrees with the second brother's point of view, everything is decided by the queen's mother!" Ji Hongchang was not stupid, and immediately spoke.

Empress Cui was furious and moved her gaze to the rest of the princes, and when she asked, she heard the rest of the princes except for the eighth prince all say respectfully, "The ministers dare not trespass, it is up to the queen to decide!" ”

This is the unanimous contradiction against her.

Therefore, Queen Cui was angry for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

And Cui Jingsheng on the side seemed to have expected such a result, he saw that the princes had moved the contradiction to Queen Cui, so he opened his mouth and said loudly, "Everyone, have you ever known that Lu Dao is the Northern Liao King Ji Qingchen escaped from King's Landing City, and he can't get out of King's Landing City." ”

Cui Jingsheng said this very firmly, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Because just the day before yesterday, the old man and the privy envoy led together and transferred the army stationed in Hangzhou to the border of Hangzhou, Yunzhou and Beidu, so even if Ji Qingchen left King's Landing, he couldn't return to Northern Liao." Cui Jingsheng said confidently. The army he was talking about was a new army established during the past three years by using Li Muzhi's connections and strength in the military, and it was a mixed branch of cavalry and infantry, with 100,000 troops.

Indeed, as long as there are 100,000 troops blocking Ji Qingchen's way, it is true that Ji Qingchen, as Cui Jingsheng said, will not be able to return to Northern Liao even if he leaves King's Landing City.

But this is just the thoughts of Cui Jingsheng and Queen Cui and others.

Because as long as they know Ji Qingchen and understand the combat effectiveness of the Northern Liao Army, they all know very well that Ji Qingchen was able to cross the entire territory of the country with more than 3,000 people to return to Dayan, and this time in the territory of Dayan, there are more than 20,000 Qingfeng riders around him, why can't he return to Northern Liao? So even after Cui Jingsheng said this, no one expressed his position.

Even Li Muzhi on the side didn't speak.

Because Li Muzhi also knows very well that Cui Jingsheng's ignorance of military affairs will make him think so, thinking that Ji Qingchen only has less than 30,000 horses, and his side has 100,000 troops, which is enough to block Ji Qingchen on the border between Hangzhou and Yunzhou. However, he didn't know Ji Qingchen's ability, let alone the combat effectiveness of Qingfeng Cavalry, and even less thought clearly If Ji Qingchen left King's Landing City and conveyed the news to Baixiang City and Mengli in Northern Liao and Beirong, this 100,000 army would be completely vulnerable to the 600,000 army of Northern Liao and Beirong.

What really worries Li Muzhi is that now that Ji Qingchen has escaped, how should he deal with the 600,000 troops of Beirong and Northern Liao? This is Li Muzhi's biggest headache.

He is confident that his ability to command troops does not belong to Ji Qingchen, so that he is stronger than Ji Qingchen, but he has no strong troops in his hands! When there is not much difference in the strength of the main generals of the two sides, if you want to win, the key is no longer a question of the art of war, but a question of the superiority of troops and the strength of the army.

In addition, Li Mu's side is also a little inferior to Ji Qingchen in that he has a shortage of soldiers and a major general. Unlike Ji Qingchen, there are so many generals in Beiliao and Beirong, not to mention Xu Dachun, Fang Wanqi and Xiang Ziyu and other battlefield generals, not to mention a calm general like Meng Li, not to mention a genius like Bai Xiangcheng, the Ten Tigers of the Xiaocai Battalion are also a strong existence, even if there are few Ten Tigers now, they can be placed in Dayan and they are also a famous existence!

At this moment, when Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng were thinking about how to convict Ji Qingchen, Li Muzhi had already put his mind on how to deal with Ji Qingchen's 600,000 army.

And just as Cui Jingsheng was talking, a discordant voice reached the main hall, and he saw a Yulin cavalry captain striding into the main hall and said back to Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng, "Queen Niang, there is a battle report in the city!" ”

This battle report is the battle report of Queen Cui, Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian intercepting and killing Ji Qingchen.

Even if Ji Qingchen escaped, it would not be easy for more than 10,000 people from the three parties to kill more than 2,000 people. Therefore, Empress Cui wanted to knock the mountain and shock the tiger through this battle report, so she said to the captain, "Read it!" ”

"The Northern Liao King Ji Qingchen has gone out of the city, General Cui and General Jiang They were blocked by the remaining 1,000 Northern Liao Qingfeng cavalry, the two sides fought at the gate of the city, General Cui has completely annihilated a thousand Northern Liao Qingfeng cavalry, as for General Jiang and General Ning, as well as General Cui Fang, they have been killed in battle, they were killed by Hou Xiaotian, the main cavalry of Northern Liao Qingfeng, and in this battle we lost 6,000 men and horses." The lieutenant reported loudly, "General Cui ordered his subordinates to ask the queen mother, do you want to continue to pursue the king of Northern Liao?" ”

10,000 against 1,000 of the Master's family were annihilated by 6,000, and the four main generals were cut down by three of the Shang's generals. This kind of combat power is too terrifying, right?

As soon as the captain's voice fell, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Falling pins can be heard!
