The Lingnan Yi tribe suddenly attacked the border of Yizhou, and 200,000 troops entered Yizhou, and the news was rushed to the monarch with 600 miles, and the people in the political hall and the Privy Council were still arguing over the funeral of Emperor Yan, because the new monarch had not yet been determined, and a series of issues such as the temple number of Emperor Yan had not yet been determined.

Just when the bigwigs of the political hall and the privy council were arguing, they suddenly saw the military department Lang Zhongdeqian hurriedly walked into the political hall.

"Why are you here?" Liu Pingyuan saw that his subordinates had broken into the political hall without rules, and he was a little displeased. Only the prime minister and the six ministers and a very small number of ministers can enter and exit, not just anyone can come to the political hall, he had warned everyone in the military department before, don't violate the rules of the political hall, but today Deqian didn't listen to his words.

"Liu Shangshu, Yizhou six hundred miles urgent!" De Qian said breathlessly, so he was in a hurry and his face was a little pale.

The six-hundred-mile urgent letter will only be used if something big happens, and now there are six hundred miles of urgent transmission in Yizhou to King's Landing, which has surprised everyone in the political hall. Liu Pingyuan immediately said to Deqian, "Quickly bring the letter-"

Deqian took the order, stepped forward and handed the urgent letter to Liu Pingyuan, Liu Pingyuan opened the card and read the content of the letter, his face was very ugly, and his whole body was like prostration, showing a tired color.

"Liu Shangshu, what's wrong?" Empress Cui on the side asked.

Just now, she really wanted to see the content of the urgent item as soon as possible, but she still held back, because this was an urgent matter from the Ministry of War, and it should be dismantled by the Ministry of War, but thinking that it was from Yizhou, Queen Cui had a bottom in her heart, and it was estimated that the Lingnan Yi clan had used troops against the Yi clan.

"Let's take a look!" Liu Pingyuan did not answer Queen Cui's question, but handed the urgent mail to the prime minister and Pei Wenju, Pei Wenju's expression was the same as Liu Pingyuan's after reading the urgent mail, and handed the urgent mail to Cui Jingsheng, and everyone read it in turn, Cui Jingsheng said, "The Lingnan Yi people dare to invade my Yizhou, they must pay a heavy price, Yizhou is empty, and troops and horses must be dispatched, I don't know what good strategy you have?" ”

Cui Jingsheng said this, that is, he handed over the problem to the three kings, who called the three kings just joined politics, and after Li Muzhi left, the Privy Council returned to Ji Hongchang?

"Doesn't Hongchang have 100,000 elite soldiers in Yizhou? Coupled with the local garrison in Yizhou, the number of troops has also reached 160,000, which is enough to deal with the 200,000 army of the Lingnan Yi people. Empress Cui said quietly.

In fact, she knew that Ji Hongchang had ordered the transfer of 100,000 troops to King's Landing, and the army was on the way, but she didn't break it, saying that Ji Hongchang's army was in Yizhou, not that she was defending Ji Hongchang, but forcing Ji Hongchang to transfer the army back to Yizhou.

"The 200,000 troops of the Lingnan Yi clan are not something that the Yizhou garrison can deal with, and we still need to transfer some more men and horses to Yizhou!" Cui Jingsheng said, "There are more than 200,000 troops in the Xizhou Governor's Office, can you transfer some soldiers and horses from Xizhou?" ”

When Cui Jingsheng said this, he moved his gaze to Ji Ping, and the meaning was obvious, he just wanted Ji Ping to speak. But Ji Ping didn't speak, just kept silent. And the rest of the ministers fell into deep thought, because they could see at a glance that Cui Jingsheng wanted to kill people with a knife, and wanted to use the Yizhou army to consume the strength of the second prince and the third prince.

"Yizhou has been divided into Pingnan Wang Jiying, let him leave for Yizhou as soon as possible and mobilize a large army to prevent the Lingnan Yi clan from going north!" At this moment, Ji Qian spoke.

He felt that with the relationship between Ji Ying and Ji Ping, Ji Ying would not be saved if he drove Ji Ying to Yizhou.

Sure enough, just as Ji Qian's words were finished, the second prince Ji Ping couldn't sit still, and he said in a cold tone, "Pingnan Wang Ji Ying doesn't understand military affairs, how can he let him deal with the murderous Yi people?" ”

"Although Liu Yan is a general, it may be difficult for him to repel the Yi army that invaded Yizhou, but it can be done for him to hold Yizhou City, so hand over the defense of Yizhou to Liu Yan!" The military department Shangshu Liu Pingyuan said.

As soon as his nephew Ji Hongchang transferred the army out of Yizhou, Yizhou was invaded by the Lingnan Yi tribe, how can this be said anyway, it has been pressed on Ji Hongchang, even if Ji Hongchang wants not to admit it, why not admit it happily? Take the initiative to deal with the Lingnan Yi people, and you can also accumulate prestige among the people.

That's why Liu Pingyuan said so.

Seeing that his uncle said so, the third prince Ji Hongchang had no choice but to nod and say, "This king will give Liu Yan an order to defend Yizhou!" ”

He was indignant when he said this, but what could he do?

"Well-" Empress Cui saw that her goal had been achieved, so she nodded slightly and said, "Since you have Liu Yan's assistance, let Ji Ying go to Yizhou as soon as possible!" After all, he is the king of Pingnan and the supreme commander of Yizhou, and he can't help but sit in Yizhou City to deal with the Lingnan Yi people. ”

Seeing that Queen Cui said this, everyone had no objection, who called Ji Ying the king of Pingnan, and Yizhou was his fief? If the fiefdom can't be kept, what use is he, the king of Pingnan?

"As for the additional troops and horses, let's see the situation first! When necessary, a large army can be mobilized from Xishu to go over, and as soon as His Majesty died, the Lingnan Yi people began to rebel, and we can't be careless. Empress Cui said.

As soon as Empress Cui's words fell, Wang You, the official secretary of Ji Ping's confidant, was about to refute, and saw two soldiers hurriedly walking into the political hall, and before Liu Pingyuan could speak, they had already shouted loudly, "The queen mother, Liu Shangshu, six hundred miles from Xizhou and Ningzhou are urgent!" ”

It's another six hundred miles expedited, or two.

This shocked everyone in the political affairs hall, and they all had a bad premonition in their hearts. They moved their eyes to the two urgent documents, waiting for Liu Pingyuan and Empress Cui to finish each of the urgent items in their hands. Liu Pingyuan collapsed and leaned back in his chair all of a sudden. And Empress Cui also pretended to hand the letter to Pei Wenju with trembling hands, but in fact, she was so happy. Pei Wenju and the others looked miserable after reading the contents of the two urgent letters.

Because the content of the two letters was not much, it was enough to kill them.

The letter said that Xishu sent 200,000 troops to attack Xizhou, and left the country to send 400,000 troops to prepare to attack Ningzhou.

All of a sudden, everyone in the political hall felt a crisis, a crisis of the country's demise.

"What should I do?" Guo Xing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked a little eagerly, "If you leave the country with 400,000 iron cavalry, the Ningzhou army can't be prevented, and the 200,000 army in Xishu will be difficult for the Xizhou Governor's Mansion to deal with!" ”

"There are more than 200,000 troops in Xizhou, which is enough to deal with the Xishu army." Cui Jingsheng glanced at Ji Ping and said, "As for Ningzhou, let's take a look at the situation first, even if we send 400,000 troops out of the country, but the Ningzhou Iron Cavalry has been stationed in Ningzhou for many years, and it is not easy for them to break through Ningzhou City." As long as Li Muzhi defeats Ji Qingchen, and then waves his troops north to Ningzhou, the 400,000 iron cavalry leaving the country is not enough to fear. ”

Cui Jingsheng said it very lightly, these are all deployments made after they betrayed the country, and he naturally won't be nervous.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Pei Wenju say angrily, "Bastard——! When is this, the country is about to die, and you are still thinking about infighting? We should immediately pass on these three pieces of news to Li Muzhi and ask him to wave his troops north, and Beiliao Ji Qingchen is also a child of the Great Yan Imperial Family, and the Great Yan is about to die, he is not a person who does not know how to measure, and he will make his own judgments and decisions. ”

Pei Wenju's usual gentle appearance, many people thought that he would not be angry, but they didn't expect him to be angry today, and he was still facing Cui Jingsheng.

This made Cui Jingsheng not come back to his senses for a while, and when he was about to yell at Pei Wenju after he woke up, he found that everyone had already spoken, "It's time to do this, Liguo, Xishu and Lingnan Yi invaded Dayan, Dayan can't fight among themselves now, and the combat power of the Northern Liao Iron Cavalry is amazing, as long as the King of Northern Liao is willing to transfer troops north to Ningzhou, we can transfer General Li's army to Yizhou and Xizhou, so that the rebellion can be quickly quelled." ”

"Yes! The old minister agrees! Wang You said. Although he didn't deal with Ji Qingchen, he let Li Muzhi go south to Yizhou or Xizhou, and let Ji Qingchen go north to Ningzhou, which was beneficial to Ji Ping, so he naturally had to support it.

"Agreed!" Guo Xing said.

"Agreed!" Tang Jian said.

"Agreed!" Chen Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said.

When Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian saw this, they were annoyed in their hearts, but the national disaster was at hand, and they couldn't stop it, and they didn't want to be bad people, so they could only nod slightly.

However, they were all thinking in their hearts, let Ji Hongchang ride south to Yizhou, let Ji Ping's army return to Xizhou, and let Ji Qingchen's army go north to Ningzhou, this is their plan, and it will not change.

But it is impossible to let Li Muzhi's army go south to Yizhou or Xizhou.

Therefore, the three of them did not object, but in their hearts they were thinking about countermeasures, they would definitely not let Li Muzhi's army go south to Yizhou or Xishu.

"Since everyone said so, the mourning family naturally has no objections, I don't know what do you think of Lu Dao Ji Ping?" Empress Cui moved her eyes to Ji Ping, just now Ji Hongchang had already said that he would defend Yizhou, now it depends on what Ji Ping says, if Ji Ping also gives a promise like Ji Hongchang, their plan will already be half successful.

"Erchen naturally has no objection!" Ji Ping said, "This will send Xue Ju to the military order and let him defend Xizhou." ”

Different from Ji Hongchang's indignation, Ji Ping has to show a lot calmer, because he has already known that Ji Qingchen sent Li Changzheng to personally lead 100,000 Northern Liao Jing to ride into Xizhou, so the situation in Xizhou is not so bad as Yizhou now, he only needs to let Xue Ju send 50,000 troops into Xizhou, cooperate with Li Changzheng's 100,000 Northern Liao Jing cavalry, the 50,000 troops garrisoned by the Xizhou Governor's Mansion, and the 200,000 troops are enough for the 200,000 troops in Shangxishu.

And in this way, he still has an army of 100,000 to kill King's Landing and join forces with Ji Wen's army. In this way, the strength of their three kings reached 260,000, which was enough to fight against Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng.

This is also the reason why Ji Hongchang agreed to let Liu Yan defend Yizhou for something.

Because he also knew that as long as Ji Ping's 100,000 troops arrived in King's Landing City, they would have 260,000 troops, and they were no longer afraid of Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng, and it didn't matter if his army came to King's Landing City or not.

Seeing that Ji Ping was forced to retreat, Empress Cui was very happy, so she nodded slightly and said to everyone, "This time the Three Kingdoms sent troops to my Dayan, in order to ensure that the front-line soldiers and soldiers do not lose their hearts and work together to resist the enemy, we must ensure the supply of grain and grass, and this matter will be handed over to the prime minister to deal with!" ”

"As for the dispatch of various armies, leave it to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War!" Empress Cui said very generously, handing over the power to Ji Hongchang and Liu Pingyuan, "The Taishi will be responsible for the funeral of His Majesty!" ”

"No!" Liu Pingyuan, who is the secretary of the military department, is duty-bound to receive the order, and Cui Jingsheng on the side also bowed down to receive the order.

Immediately, I saw several groups of people rushing out of King's Landing City, disappearing in different directions at the same speed, some going to Yizhou, some going to Xizhou, some going to Hangzhou, and some going to Ningzhou.

As for the people of King's Landing, now that the news has been blocked, they naturally don't know that Dao Dayan is already under enemy on all sides, and they don't know that the culprits are Empress Cui, Cui Jingsheng and Ji Qian.
