When the news of Li Muzhi's army's defeat in Feng County reached King's Landing City, Ji Qian was frightened stupid, he didn't expect that the Great Yan Hundred Battle Name, which was known as the second person in the Great Yan military and second only to Bai Jin, would be defeated in the hands of Ji Qingchen, and it was a fiasco.

Li Muzhi took half of Ji Qian's troops with him when he left King's Landing, and now he is defeated and the whole army is annihilated, and Ji Qian's army in King's Landing City is only 100,000.

Therefore, Li Muzhi's defeat was a fatal blow to Ji Qian, and it was also the beginning of a disaster.

Before, Ji Qingchen had 600,000 iron horses, which made Ji Qian very jealous, but because he had Li Muzhi's card, he was full of confidence, and felt that Ji Qingchen was a vulnerable person, because compared with Li Muzhi, Ji Qingchen was very lacking in terms of command ability and combat experience.

But now the battle report in front really conveyed a message to Ji Qian, his great enemy Ji Qingchen defeated Li Muzhi, collected his hundreds of thousands of remnants, and the defeated general Zheng Xiang killed King's Landing City.

What to do? When he learned the news, Ji Qian was drinking in the flower hall and listening to music, living a leisurely life.

But now he is not calm, he no longer has the leisure he had just now, and his irritability and restlessness make his whole person look a kind of gloom.

He knew very well Ji Qingchen's methods of dealing with people, and he knew that with only this little force in his hands, it would be difficult to stop Ji Qingchen from going south to King's Landing, and it would be even more difficult to prevent Ji Qingchen from entering King's Landing, and it would be even more difficult to stop Ji Qingchen from ascending to the throne of Emperor Dayan. As long as Ji Qingchen ascends to the status of Dayan, there is only one way to wait for him, either to be imprisoned for life, or to have a cup of poisonous wine.

"Bastard-" Thinking of this, Ji Qian couldn't help but scold, not only scolding Ji Qingchen, but also scolding his father-in-law Li Muzhi.

But what's the use of getting angry now, do you have to sit back and wait?

No, he will definitely not sit still.

Therefore, he vented his dissatisfaction to the maid around him, he still instructed the maid to change his clothes, and left the palace with a pale expression, he wanted to enter the palace to meet his mother, and discussed with his mother and uncle how to deal with this problem.

At this time, Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng also received the news of Li Muzhi's defeat in Feng County. However, their news is more detailed, and at this time, it was already known that Daoji Qingchen sent Baixiangcheng and the Northern Liao army to Ningzhou, and the army to the south was only 100,000 Beirong iron cavalry. But Rao is like this, with the 260,000 army of the three kings of King's Landing City plus Ji Qingchen's 100,000 iron horses, it is enough to ask for their name!

Therefore, the faces of the two are not very good-looking.

At this moment, Ji Qian walked into Queen Cui's bedroom indignantly, and when he saw Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng, he didn't even observe the faces of the two, so he said with a decadent expression, "Li Muzhi is defeated, Lao Jiu is about to kill King's Landing City, what should we do after uncle and mother?" ”

Seeing that Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng didn't answer him, Ji Qian, who looked a little pale, became even more furious, and he shouted loudly, "Queen Mother, did you and your uncle hear what I was saying?" Lao Jiu is about to kill King's Landing, and we will all be finished by then, so you guys should find a way! ”

"Can you stop a bit?" When Empress Cui saw that Ji Qian was so uncontrollable, she scolded a little unhappily. In fact, now she is also a master of the six gods in her heart, but she has been in a high position for a long time, and she naturally has a graceful bearing, that is, no matter how dangerous the moment is, she will not mess up, "Is it just that you are in a hurry, and your uncle and I are not in a hurry?" But what's the use of hurrying now, we have been defeated, and we should find another way, instead of sighing here. As long as he Ji Qingchen does not sit on the throne of Emperor Dayan for a day, we will not lose, and we will still have a chance to turn the tables. ”

What Ji Qian is most afraid of is that Queen Cui is angry, and now as soon as Queen Cui gets angry, he will stop cooking, and he doesn't dare to say anything, just keep his head down.

At this time, Cui Jingsheng, who had not spoken, spoke, he groaned and said, "Actually, we haven't lost yet, not only have we not lost, but because of Li Muzhi's defeat, our chances of winning are greater." ”

"Grace ——?" When Queen Cui heard Cui Jingsheng say this, her face showed doubt, because her side lost troops and lost half of her strength, how can she say that she has a better chance of winning instead of losing? Even Ji Qian, who was on the side, was surprised when he heard Cui Jingsheng's words, and moved his gaze to Cui Jingsheng.

Seeing that Empress Cui and Ji Qian's eyes were fixed on him, Cui Jingsheng pondered for a moment and continued to speak, "Li Muzhi is undefeated, we are the biggest force in King's Landing, so the three kings will form an alliance against us, and now that Li Muzhi is defeated, our strength has been reduced by half, and we can no longer threaten the three kings, do you say that the three kings will be united again?" ”

Seeing that Empress Cui and Ji Qian were listening carefully to their words, Cui Jingsheng continued, "Naturally not, they also have their own interests and groups, they used to be forced to form an alliance out of desperation, but now that our strength has been greatly reduced, their alliance will definitely be self-defeating, and this is a good time for us to unite them, as long as we unite the strength of two of the three kings, even if Ji Qingchen arrives in King's Landing City, and then unites with the strength of the other party, our three-on-two chance of winning is greater than them." ”

"To deal with us, Ji Qingchen may use force, but he may not dare to use it to deal with the three kings, so this time Ji Qingchen arrived in King's Landing City, he will not use force to solve the problem, he will only use political means, this is the real reason why he will send Bai Xiangcheng and Northern Liao Tieqi to Ningzhou in the north." After Cui Jingsheng finished speaking, he stared at Queen Cui's face, wanting to see if Queen Cui understood what she meant.

"Are you saying that to break the current alliance of the three kings, we will unite the strength of the two of the three kings to form our own alliance of the three kings to deal with Ji Qingchen and the other person among the three kings?" Empress Cui immediately understood what Cui Jingsheng meant.

"Yes, so to speak—" Cui Jingsheng said affirmatively, "Of course, as for who we want to choose among the three kings, it depends on the three of them, who are useful to us, and whose strength is huge." If the two of them unite with us and leave the weaker side to Ji Qingchen, even if they join forces, they will not be our opponents at that time. ”

"So Uncle has a way?" Hearing this, Ji Qian was not stupid, he seemed to understand what Cui Jingsheng meant, and immediately asked, the decadent color in his eyes was swept away, and it was replaced by a glimmer of hope.

"Big brother, did you think about this at the beginning?" Empress Cui also asked.

"Yes!" Cui Jingsheng nodded slightly and said, "Ever since Li Muzhi led his army to leave King's Landing and go north to deal with Ji Qingchen, I have thought in my heart, what if Li Muzhi is defeated? That's why there is this countermeasure to deal with Ji Qingchen. ”

"But-" Cui Jingsheng said here, paused, and continued, "Now that the alliance between the three kings is still very strong, they have the upper hand over us, and if there is no major conflict between them, it will be difficult for us to break up their alliance, this is a problem!" ”

"Didn't Uncle come up with a way to break up their alliance?" Ji Qian couldn't help but ask. After having hope just now, he returned to his previous arrogant appearance, and his tone was hard, not as motherly as he was just now.

"Qian'er, shut up—" When Empress Cui heard Ji Qian say this, she immediately shouted.

It's his brother, if Ji Qian talks no matter how much Queen Cui believes, she will be bored, let alone this moment of crisis?

"Uh-" Seeing that Empress Cui was angry, Ji Qian stopped talking.

"Is there any good way for big brother?" Empress Cui asked, her expression was very flat, but she was already a little anxious in her heart.

"The reason why the Three Kings are united is because our strength is so great that it threatens their lives. And what are the interests of each of the three kings? Isn't it the throne? It's just that they don't want to, and the people around them don't want to? Therefore, now that the crisis has been resolved, and the most solid foundation of the Three Kings Alliance has been broken, we only need to tempt them with the greatest benefit again, and we are not afraid that they will not obey us. Cui Jingsheng said confidently.

Seeing that Cui Jingsheng was still reluctant to say how to destroy the Three Kings Alliance, Queen Cui stopped asking, and she still believed her brother.

It's just that he was quite curious about which two of Cui Jingsheng chose among the three kings as his alliance objects, so he asked, "I don't know who Brother Lu Dao wants to choose as our alliance object?" ”

"Let's talk about this depending on the situation!" Cui Jingsheng sighed and said, "What we want is someone who is huge in strength and not close to Ji Qingchen, if the other party is strong, but the relationship with Ji Qingchen is very close, he is joining our alliance, what help can he give us?" ”

Cui Jingsheng said this, but he still didn't believe in the Three Kings, but in fact, he didn't have confidence in his own countermeasures, because he knew that he could give Ji Qingchen to the Three Kings, and he couldn't give Ji Qingchen to the Three Kings.

Therefore, his method can be said to be a dead end, which can be said to be a ruined boat, and now this method does not work, and he can only face failure.

"Since the eldest brother has an idea, let's do it!" Empress Cui sighed and said, "Qian'er and I will definitely support you!" ”

This can be regarded as a promise made by Queen Cui to Cui Jingsheng, that is, no matter how things develop, he and Ji Qian will stand on Cui Jingsheng's side.

After speaking, she moved her gaze to Ji Qian, and at this time, Ji Qian naturally understood what Queen Cui meant, so she said to Cui Jingsheng, "Uncle, it's up to you this time, don't worry, no matter what you do, what the result is, the queen mother and I will stand by your side and support you!" ”

And Cui Jingsheng heard that Queen Cui and Ji Qian said this, his heart was quite moved, but he still didn't speak again, just nodded slightly to the two, and said goodbye to Queen Cui and left.

Queen Cui and Ji Qian in the dormitory just watched Cui Jingsheng's disappearing back quietly and didn't speak-because at this moment, the pressure in their hearts was also very great, and it was no less than the pressure Cui Jingsheng was facing-
