The general who commanded the 100,000 new army to intercept Ji Qingchen in Hangzhou was called Li Fang, who was Li Muzhi's confidant, and he went to Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Mansion with Ji Qian three years ago, and remembered the domineering scene of Ji Qingchen riding a horse and flying Cui Fang and a polo stick knocking over Ning Bai. Therefore, when he received Li Muzhi's order this time and asked him to lead the army to intercept and kill Ji Qingchen, he was very reluctant, he felt that not to mention that Ji Qingchen had less than the only fine cavalry around him, and he had an army of 100,000 in his hands, but when he met Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, he had no chance of winning at all, this was not that he was arrogant and looked down on himself, but that Ji Qingchen's momentum was too shocking to him, and he knew that for the soldiers who fought on the battlefield, the momentum of the main general was the biggest catalyst for them. As long as there is such a main general, even if there are only 3,000 elite horsemen around, he can still break through the camp of 100,000 troops.

It's just that military orders are difficult to disobey, and as a soldier, he knows what it means for a soldier to obey orders as his duty. Therefore, when he received Li Muzhi's order, he immediately sent troops to set up roadblocks at the junction of Hangzhou and Yunzhou and Northern Capital, and also sent a large number of scouts to prepare to intercept Ji Qingchen's army.

In fact, with the ability of the Cui clan and the Li clan's secret guard system, they could determine the route and speed of Ji Qingchen's march without the scout's reconnaissance at all.

And just after Li Fang had completed the deployment of the army, and had not waited for a few days, he received news that Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, was leading 30,000 elite cavalry and was coming to Fengyundu, where he was, Fengyundu was the closest road to Yunzhou, and if he bypassed Fengyundu and took other roads to Yunzhou, it would take four or five more days.

Li Fang put the main army in Fengyundu, just because he felt that with Ji Qingchen's resourcefulness, he believed that there were ambushes on this road and would change his route, so that he would not encounter Ji Qingchen, but he didn't expect Ji Qingchen to be ready to take this road.

"Since you can't hide, let's see how powerful the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry is!" Li Fang in the big tent said in a low voice, muttered for a while, and said to the scout in the tent, "Continue to investigate-"

He shouted to the guards outside the tent, "Order, the army is in a state of combat readiness—"

"No!" Scouts and guards commanded.

And Ji Qingchen, who was less than a hundred miles away from Fengyundu, was riding on a horse, staring at the avenue in front of him and was silent.

"Brother Jiu, there is Fengyundu ahead, Cui Jingsheng will definitely set up an ambush to intercept us, should we take a detour?" Li Changzheng asked.

"Cui Jingsheng wants to intercept us, which army will he use?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"It should be the 100,000 new army stationed in Hangzhou, a mixed infantry and cavalry division formed by my grandfather, with 50,000 infantry and cavalry each." Li Changzheng replied.

Speaking of his grandfather Li Muzhi, Li Changzheng's face was a little embarrassed, because he was Ji Qingchen's confidant, while his grandfather Li Muzhi supported Ji Qian. This made him look very embarrassed by Ji Qingchen's side. If he hadn't followed Ji Qingchen since the formation of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, it is estimated that he would be considered an undercover agent sent by Li Muzhi to Ji Qingchen's side!

"Who is the commander of the army?" Ji Qingchen continued to ask.

"The general who formed this new army is Li Fang, my grandfather's confidant general, and I don't know the specific situation." Li Changzheng said with shame.

"Didn't Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian want to kill this king?" Ji Qingchen said lightly, with a contemptuous look on his face, "This time, let them see the true combat effectiveness of the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry and teach them a lesson." ”

When Ji Qingchen said this, there was a suffocating murderous aura exuding from his body, as well as a domineering aura that looked down on the world, "Let's go through Fengyundu and meet Li Fang's 100,000 elite soldiers, and see why they dare to block the way of this king!" ”

"No!" Li Changzheng received the order, and the army continued to march.

And at this moment, Zhang Rang walked to Ji Qingchen's side with a pale expression, and said to Ji Qingchen in a low voice, "Your Highness, there is news from King's Landing, saying that Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng wantonly divided the kings to various places to take up the domain, and named Ji Zhao as the king of Ying, so he turned Suzhou, changed the king of Linjiang to the king of Pingnan, and changed the title of Yizhou, changed the throne of Changsha to the king of Pingxi, and sealed the seventh prince as the king of Pingxi, and then to the king of Xizhou. ”

Seeing that Ji Qingchen was silent, Zhang Rang continued, "Moreover, Empress Cui asked the four highnesses to be vassals immediately, and they were not allowed to stay in King's Landing. ”

"Xizhou has to face the Xishu army, Yizhou has to face the Lingnan Yi people, these two states are dangerous places!" Ji Qingchen sighed, "This time, Queen Cui divided the kings, because she had ill intentions, and she didn't have any good intentions——"

"What should we do?" Zhang Rang asked.

"There is a contradiction between this king and the fifth brother and the sixth brother, just to help them, they probably don't appreciate it, but they can't ignore the life or death of the seventh brother-" Ji Qingchen sighed for a while and said, "Now that the second brother has transferred the army to King's Landing, the army stationed in the Xizhou Governor's Mansion is estimated to be less than 100,000, and this point of men and horses is facing hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in Xishu, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold Xizhou." You ask the seventh brother to contact him and ask him if he needs the king's help, if he does, the king will give him 100,000 fine horses, and no matter what happens, he will ensure that he does not lose Xizhou. ”

It's not that Ji Qingchen is generous, it's that Xizhou is too important to Dayan, Xishu has long been dissatisfied with Dayan, and has been eyeing Dayan for a long time, if this civil war breaks out, it is estimated that Xishu will take advantage of the fire to rob, as long as Xishu invades Dayan, the western states of Dayan will be in danger, and Ji Qingchen will not allow such a situation to occur, so he will be ready to assist the Seventh Prince Ji Man. And Yizhou is also very important to Dayan, he is the key to Dayan's blocking of the Lingnan Yi clan from going north, but Ji Qingchen has a bad relationship with the fifth prince Ji Ying, and it is estimated that he is sending troops to support Ji Ying, which will make Ji Ying uneasy, so he didn't do this.

"No!" Zhang Rang nodded and replied, and left in a hurry.

"Long March, if Brother Qi agrees to help him with this king, I am ready to send you to Xizhou to prevent the invasion of Xishu, are you willing to go?" After Zhang Rang left, Ji Qingchen said to Li Changzheng beside him.

There must be a battle between him and Li Muzhi, and Li Changzheng is Li Muzhi's own grandson, so letting Li Changzheng follow him to deal with Li Muzhi is too cruel for Li Changzheng, so Ji Qingchen will arrange it like this.

Li Changzheng naturally understood what Ji Qingchen was arranging for, and said very gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Jiu, Long March is willing-"

"Well, think about it along the way! How to defend against the invasion of Xishu after arriving in Xizhou, and when you arrive in Northern Liao, you will lead 100,000 elite cavalry to Xizhou immediately. Ji Qingchen said.

Now there are 400,000 troops in Northern Liao, 300,000 cavalry, 100,000 foot soldiers, 100,000 elite cavalry to Li Changzheng, 200,000 cavalry and 100,000 foot soldiers, enough to deal with Li Muzhi's army, not to mention that Ji Qingchen still has 200,000 Beirong elite cavalry, and he is very sufficient in terms of troops.

Even if he left 100,000 foot soldiers to garrison the four states of Northern Liao, and left 100,000 elite cavalry to guard Beirong, he still had 300,000 elite cavalry, and he would not fall behind against Li Muzhi's 300,000 elite soldiers.

Because of Li Muzhi's 300,000 elite soldiers, 100,000 were foot soldiers, and only 200,000 cavalry.

For Ji Qingchen, who is good at cavalry warfare, he neither wants to attack the city nor defend the city, so the cavalry is the elite division in his mind.

Of course, except for Xiang Ziyu's 30,000 sharp soldiers' battalion.

These 30,000 people are heavy infantry, and when they arrive on the battlefield, the defense is absolutely strong, and they are also the nemesis of light cavalry!

……

When Ji Qingchen's army was only a hundred miles away from his camp, Li Fang ordered to gather nearby soldiers and horses, 50,000 cavalry and 20,000 foot soldiers, together with 70,000 people to set up a formation, quietly waiting for Ji Qingchen's arrival, because for Li Fang, Ji Qingchen, who became famous all over the world by destroying Beirong, did not dare to underestimate the opponent, he could not be careless at all, and could only fight with twelve points of spirit.

And when the scouts passed the distance between Ji Qingchen and his own camp again and again, Li Fang's heart fluttered.

One Hundred Miles——

Eighty miles——

Sixty miles –

Thirty miles——

When the two sides were thirty miles apart, Ji Qingchen's horse team stopped marching, and instead camped and prepared to rest. Facing the army of Li Fang, who was twice as large as himself thirty miles ahead, Ji Qingchen behaved very calmly and calmly. He ordered the army to rest for a day, and set off at dawn tomorrow to break through Li Fang's defense.

As for Li Fang, this night was a long night for him, and he did not dare to send troops to attack Ji Qingchen's camp at night, but he was also worried that Ji Qingchen would attack his camp.

So he didn't get a good night's sleep that night—

And like Li Fang, there are a lot of people who can't sleep all night, they are Queen Cui, Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian and Li Muzhi, Li Muzhi because he has to mobilize an army in King's Landing City, and he has to wait for a while to arrive in Hangzhou, and when they receive that Ji Qingchen's army has arrived at Fengyundu and is about to fight with Li Fang's army, they have both worries and expectations in their hearts, they are worried that Li Fang will not be able to stop Ji Qingchen, and they expect Li Fang to defeat Ji Qingchen with more victories and fewer and intercept Ji Qingchen's trip north.

Among them, Ji Qian and Li Muzhi are the most important.

For Ji Qian, as long as Ji Qingchen is intercepted this time and his threat is removed, everything will be fine, and it will be much easier for him to deal with the three kings in the future. For Li Muzhi, Hangzhou's 100,000 elite cavalry was formed by him personally, and the commander of the army is his confidant Li Fang, this is a major battle to test the combat effectiveness between his army and Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Iron Cavalry, he can't lose and can't afford to lose, if Ji Qingchen annihilates this army, he will lead the 200,000 army north to Hangzhou, and the Northern Liao Elite Cavalry of Shang Ji Qingchen is estimated to have little chance of winning.

As for Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng, because of the previous traitorous plan, they have already handed over Ji Qingchen and Beiliao Tieqi to leave the country.

Because they knew that with the deep hatred between Empress Dowager Xiao and Ji Qingchen, as long as they gave the country benefits, they believed that the country would be willing to cut off the great enemy of Ji Qingchen and the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry for them without them bothering.

Therefore, this battle is very important to them, but it is not as important as it is to Li Muzhi and Ji Qian.
