Chapter 93: Military Law

Leaving the East Palace and coming to the Privy Council, as soon as the director of the Privy Council saw that it was Ji Qingchen, the king of Northern Liao, he invited him to the room where the privy envoy handled official business, saying that the privy envoy wanted to see him. The privy envoy in the principal's mouth is naturally Bai Jin, and this is also the first time Ji Qingchen has seen Bai Jin alone since he returned to King's Landing, and he is a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, Bai Jin of Dayan is like Li Qingyi who left the country, and he is the existence of the military god of Dayan's army. This is the reason why Emperor Yan did not let Bai Jin and Li Muzhi go north to Caozhou this time, because Emperor Yan himself is also very aware of the gap between the strength of Dayan and Beirong, if Bai Jin and Li Muzhi are defeated by the Beirong Iron Cavalry, the myth of the two military bigwigs established by Dayan for decades will be broken, and it will have a great impact on Dayan's military morale at this critical juncture.

So with such a nervous mood, Ji Qingchen walked into the room representing the supreme power of the Privy Council of Dayan, and found that the furnishings of the room were very simple, just a desk and chairs, and then a large bookshelf, a few chairs and a few short ones, and in addition to that, there was a large map pasted with parchment on the wall.

"I've seen the Marquis of Jin!" Seeing Bai Jinji, who was a little thin but in good spirits sitting on the chair, he said lightly.

"Your Highness, please take a seat!" Bai Jin said politely.

"Thank you, Marquis Jin!" Ji Qingchen nodded slightly, sat on a chair next to a low table, the guard served tea, Bai Jin motioned to Ji Qingchen to drink tea, Ji Qingchen took a small sip of the tea bowl, Bai Jin said with a smile, "This time, His Highness went north to Caozhou to fight against the Beirong Iron Cavalry, and the old man also wanted to thank His Highness!" ”

Hearing Bai Jin say this, Ji Qingchen understood the meaning of Bai Jin's words, and hurriedly said, "The Marquis of Jin is serious, it is Qingchen's duty to serve the country, and the Marquis of Jin has worked hard, and this time he has to train 300,000, without the Marquis of Jin, it will not work, and the Caozhou front line to fight against Beirong, this is exactly the place where young people like Qingchen show their ambitions, and it is up to us young people to go north." ”

"Your Highness can say that, the old man is much more down-to-earth." Bai Jin restrained his smile and asked in a somewhat heavy tone, "This time I went north, can Your Highness be sure of victory?" ”

"Less than 20%!" Ji Qingchen sighed, seeing that Bai Jin was silent, he said slowly, "Actually, Qingchen still had a 20% chance of winning before, but I found that the Longxiang army only had 60,000 soldiers, and its combat effectiveness was low, and there was a shortage of middle-level generals. ”

"Alas! There's no way around it! Bai Jin sighed and said, as the privy councillor of the Privy Council, he knew better what the combat effectiveness of the Long Xiang Army was, and as the first person in the Great Yan military, he was more aware of the difference in strength between the Great Yan and the Beirong Iron Cavalry.

"However, Qingchen will go north this time, and he will delay the Beirong army to attack Caozhou and stop the pace of the Beirong Iron Cavalry from going south, as for the rest, it depends on the 300,000 troops trained by the Marquis of Jin." Ji Qingchen said from the bottom of his heart, this is also his goal after going north to Caozhou, he is not an arrogant and arrogant person, he knows very well that with the strength in his hands, it is already the limit to be able to do this.

"Then I can only ask Your Highness-" Bai Jin sighed, "But what the old man wants to tell His Highness is that the 100,000 Northern Liao army that retreated to Caozhou may not be as strong as His Highness imagined, His Highness must be prepared, and this time Liaozhou was invaded by Beirong, our horse supply was cut off, and the war horses needed by the new army can only be collected from Ningzhou, and the number of war horses that Ningzhou can supply is limited, so the number of cavalry of the 300,000 army trained by the old man may not exceed 100,000, and His Highness must also have a number in his heart." ”

Bai Jin's words surprised Ji Qingchen, could it be that the Northern Liao army was also like the Long Xiang army that was broken to this extent in the first battle? After thinking about it carefully, he was relieved, if it wasn't for the same extent as Jackie Chan's army, how could the Yanmen Pass, which was guarded by 100,000 troops, be broken by 20,000 Beirong cavalry? He said in a calm tone, "Thank you Jin Hou for telling me the truth, and please rest assured that Jin Hou knows this in his heart." ”

"Your Highness is relieved when you say this, I don't know what His Highness Lu Dao has to say when he comes to the Privy Council today?" Bai Jin immediately led the conversation to the main topic.

Hearing Bai Jin ask, Ji Qingchen, who was on a serious matter, immediately did not dare to delay, so he asked Emperor Yan for a few Yulin cavalry generals, and this time he went to the Privy Council to ask Bai Jin about the appointment of the Privy Council.

After Bai Jin heard this, he took the list from Ji Qingchen's hand, took a careful look at it, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the old man will send someone to deal with it, and these four people will definitely be allowed to take up their posts in the Long Xiang Army before the evening." ”

"Then thank you Jin Hou!" Ji Qingchen said gratefully.

He also knew that Bai Jin was very busy, so he took his leave and left the Privy Council, and Bai Jin sent him out of the Privy Council.

Leaving the Privy Council and returning to the palace, as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw that the green dragon horse lance that the crown princess sent to the palace was placed in the hall, and when he was in the East Palace, Ji Qingchen did not open the box in front of the princess to see the green dragon horse lance inside, and now the thing was his, he immediately opened the box, and with a "click" sound, at the moment when the lid of the box was opened, he felt a cold killing intent hit his heart. Looking at the box again, I found that what caught my eye was a black horse lance, which was lying quietly in the box. The appearance of the horse lance is the same as that of the Baixiangcheng horse lance, there is no difference, the only difference is that the handle of the Baixiangcheng horse lance is carved with a goshawk spreading its wings, and the handle of this horse lance is coiled with a nine-clawed green dragon, and a green dragon head at the end of the lance.

Quietly observed the Qinglong Horse Lance, Ji Qingchen stretched out his right hand and gently held the Qinglong Horse Lance, he felt a chill in his bones coming from the lance, which suddenly drilled into his heart, making his heart throb, thanks to the first time he felt a similar murderous attack when the wolf blade knife was in hand, so as not to be hurt by this murderous aura. However, this also made him secretly sigh that this Qinglong horse lance is really a divine weapon that has been inherited for a hundred years, because there are too many people who have been killed, and the horse lance is impregnated with the breath of death, if ordinary people will never dare to use this horse lance.

took out the horse lance from the box and weighed the weight with his right hand, about forty catties, which was very in line with Ji Qingchen's requirements. With this divine weapon, Ji Qingchen immediately came to the school field of the palace with the horse lance, and found that Huang Taiji was training sprinting with the four hundred white cavalry soldiers, and when they saw Ji Qingchen, they stopped training and immediately saluted Ji Qingchen, Ji Qingchen just nodded and motioned for them to continue, walked to the stable, turned over and rode on the Xiying War Horse and rushed to the school field, and said to Huang Taiji who began to continue training again, "Huang Taiji, today this king has newly obtained this green dragon horse lance, let this king see your martial arts!" ”

Huang Taiji suddenly saw Ji Qingchen riding a horse and carrying a lance, standing majestically on the school grounds, so he confessed to Ji Qingchen, raised the six-foot-long scimitar in his hand, and rode towards Ji Qingchen. Huang Taiji, as a brave general of the three banners and the white flag on Beirong, is not inferior to the Tuobani with the yellow flag in force, and even surpasses it, but when he rode a horse to Ji Qingchen, who was standing quietly on horseback, he was a little lacking in confidence, because no matter how he looked at it, he found that Ji Qingchen on the horse was standing quietly on the school field without a flaw, and he didn't know where to attack.

So when the distance between the good horses was ten steps, his long knife slashed at Ji Qingchen's waist. But at the moment when his long knife was swung, he only felt that the right arm holding the knife was numb, and then found that his war knife was completely out of his hand, and then he felt a cold in his neck, and saw that the tip of Ji Qingchen's horse lance had been against his throat.

The two fought each other in less than one round Huang Taiji was defeated, which Huang Taiji himself did not expect, and even more so that the four hundred Beirong cavalry on the school field did not expect, everyone was stunned, until nearly three seconds later, everyone woke up and immediately burst into cheers.

"Huang Taiji is defeated, thank you for your mercy!" Huang Taiji said in frustration again.

"This time the king went north to Caozhou, will you go to the white cavalry camp?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"The White Cavalry Battalion swears to follow His Highness to the death!" Huang Taiji replied without thinking.

"Huang Taiji, don't answer so simply first, because this time you go north to Caozhou, you have to face your compatriots in the Eight Banners, if this king gives an order on the battlefield and you don't obey, this king can only be dealt with by military law, so you think clearly and then answer this king, you have eight days to think about it." Ji Qingchen said coldly, ignoring Huang Taiji, who was generally contemplative, and left the school on horseback.

In fact, he challenged Huang Taiji just now for a purpose, because he defeated Huang Taiji with only one move, so that Huang Taiji and the four hundred Beirong cavalry could see how powerful he was, and if he asked the question of going north again, it would definitely be easier to get the sincere answer of Huang Taiji and the four hundred Beirong cavalry. As for Ji Qingchen doing this, it doesn't mean that he sent these four hundred people, but because although these four hundred people surrendered to him, this loyalty issue needs to be investigated, and this is an opportunity, as long as they dare to knife their compatriots, it means that they are sincerely attached to themselves, and he will reuse Huang Taiji in the future, if he defects, he doesn't mind cutting off the heads of these four hundred people one by one in front of hundreds of thousands of Beirong iron horsemen.

Leaving the school field and riding out of the palace, Ji Qingchen went straight to the North Camp of the Longxiang Army outside the city.

This time the Long Xiang army was ordered to go north to Caozhou to fight against Beirong, and Bai Jin ordered the Long Xiang army to gather in the Beida camp outside the city.

In a moment, Ji Qingchen rode to the North Camp, passed the identity verification, and went directly to the Shuai Zhang of the North Camp of the Long Xiang Army. Cheng Qianfan, the deputy general of the handsome Zhang Li Longxiang Army, was discussing military affairs with several generals, and saw Ji Qingchen busy stepping forward to salute.

"You don't have to be polite, General Cheng, you continue, this king will stay here." Ji Qingchen said to Cheng Qianfan, and walked straight to the rest room behind Shuai Zhang, flipped through the books on the desk, which were full of account books of the generals of the Long Xiang Army, the number of soldiers and horses, ordnance, etc., just as Ji Qingchen flipped through a few times casually, a little lacking in interest, he saw Cheng Qianfan walk into the back tent, "Your Highness, the last general has ordered the drumming to gather the generals, please come up to the front hall and take a seat!" ”

"Yes!" Ji Qingchen nodded and said, he came to the North Camp of the Long Xiang Army today, in addition to seeing if Bai Jin transferred the four people from the Yulin Cavalry to the Long Xiang Army, he just wanted to meet several generals in the Long Xiang Army.

Following Cheng Qianfan to the front hall, Ji Qingchen found that seven or eight generals had come to the hall and waited quietly, and when he saw him, he immediately got up and saluted, "I've seen the chief manager!" ”

The Grand Steward? Suddenly hearing this title, Ji Qingchen was extremely uncomfortable, and he suddenly thought of Wei Zhongxian, the head of the inner house. But after thinking about it carefully, he was the chief manager of the Northern Liao Xing Camp appointed by Emperor Yan, and he was in the military camp, so the generals called him that, so he accepted this title in front of him.

"You don't need to be polite, please take a seat!" Ji Qingchen said slowly, he walked straight to the handsome seat and sat down, and everyone sat down at one time. Immediately, several generals came to the big tent in turn, and when they saw Ji Qingchen, they saluted him, and then sat down in their own places, and gradually the big tent was filled with the generals of the Long Xiang army.

Time passed like this! Until a moment, another drum sounded, Ji Qingchen looked around the big tent, and saw that there were only two empty positions, so he asked Cheng Qianfan on the side, "How many drums are there?" ”

"Three-way is it!" Cheng Qianfan replied.

"Are you all here?" Ji Qingchen asked, his tone a little cold.

"There are still two people who haven't arrived, namely Sima Li Wei of the infantry army and Deming of the army." Cheng Qianfan replied.

"Hmph-" Ji Qingchen snorted coldly and didn't speak. And the generals in the big tent had already noticed the anger on the chief manager's face, and they didn't dare to speak out.
