"What? Youzhou rebelled?"
"proclaim oneself emperor?"
"Are they crazy!"
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
This Youzhou is really not an obedient child, he keeps causing trouble! It’s so frustrating!
Forget about the things that happened in the past, I have been whipped for so long, and here we go again!
Everyone thinks Youzhou is crazy.
Why!
They only have a few hundred thousand troops!
"It doesn't make sense! It doesn't make sense!"
Everyone was filled with indignation and rage.
King Qin Xie Zhao, his expression also changed.
At this juncture, Youzhou actually rebelled!
Isn't this a slap in their face? They were still embarrassing Liu Zheng because of Yu Qian's matter. They went against it over there... so unsatisfactory!
Others also have various thoughts.
Youzhou likes to cause trouble, and they know it.
Therefore, Youzhou was sometimes disobedient, and the court turned a blind eye.
But this time...
This is rebellion!
This is proclaiming emperor!
This is a taboo!
"Master Chief Assistant, in my opinion, the Youzhou Army rebelled precisely because Yu Qian killed King Zhao! Kill Yu Qian to expose the Youzhou Army. In this way, the chaos in Youzhou can be resolved! "
The Minister of War stood up and said seriously.
Others echoed.
"Yeah?"
Liu Zheng smiled coldly. At this time, these people are still thinking of ways to argue.
"Everyone, what the Youzhou Army has always wanted is Long Yan's empire. Do you think they would care about the head of a mere sixth-grade member Wai Lang? Have they forgotten Chao Cuo of the Han Dynasty? They failed to rebel and wanted to protect themselves, so they A desperate move. Not to mention that the members of our parliament are all idiots with this pattern. It seems that there should be another election?" Liu Zheng said coldly.
"you……"
After being reprimanded by Liu Zheng, the Minister of War's expression changed greatly, but he did not dare to say anything.
After all, when Jinghua was facing the crisis of breaking the city, he was one of the first officials to escape. If Liu Zhengdou brought this matter out, he would not have to hang around in the court.
"Everyone, please stop arguing. Things have already happened. Nothing you say will help. Now let's think about how to solve the problem. Proclaiming the emperor is not a big deal. The rebellion of 200,000 troops is what matters. The last time they retreated, this time This time, they will never give up. If they fight to the death, Jinghua City will not be easy to defend!"
King Yong said.
Among these people, King Yong is the most sensible.
He has always been on Liu Zheng's side.
After coming to Beijing, if King Yong hadn't protected Yu Qian, he would have been liquidated by this group of people!
King Yong was very worried about the rebels in Youzhou.
However, Liu Zheng didn't take it seriously.
Previously, the intelligence agency had provided Liu Zheng with information about Meng Zan's itinerary. He first went to Mongolia and then sent people to Tsarist Russia. After that, he proclaimed himself emperor and rebelled. Apparently he went to make friends.
Mongolia and Russia were newly defeated and their morale was damaged. It was impossible to send troops to help Mengzan at this time. The only possibility was that Mengzan needed to express an attitude and then implement a "mutual defense" policy.
There are no allies to send troops, and there is only a Youzhou Army team. I believe that Meng Zan is just a tentative attack for communication.
After all, the Jinghua garrison had rested, and the army that had arrived before King Qin had not gone far. Meng Zan was not a reckless man, and he would not risk his life in a battle that would not win and would only increase casualties.
However, although Liu Zheng was confident, he did not say it directly.
He wanted to use this to save Yu Qian.
"This time the Youzhou Army will definitely be fighting for revenge. If they capture Beijing, I can guarantee that everyone here will be implicated. There is only one way to avoid such a tragedy."
Liu Zheng chuckled.
"any solution?"
Everyone asked with worried faces.
"Let Yu Qian go and let him handle it."
Liu Zheng said lightly.
"What! How is this possible?"
"He is the one who caused the trouble. If we don't kill him, we have to let him go. What's the point?"
As soon as Liu Zheng finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar.
"Yu Qian, he can withstand 100,000 Mongol troops and scare off 200,000 Youzhou troops. If it were you, who could do it? Don't blame me for not reminding you that the opportunity to fight must not be missed. Once Yu Qian comes out late, he will have no idea. Facing the Youzhou Army, you will have to pay with your lives for your hesitation."
"What's more, as far as Yu Qian's record is concerned, as long as Youzhou knows about it, he will be reused by us..."
"Whether the Youzhou Army dares to come or not is still unknown..."
Liu Zheng tried his best to threaten.
"this……"
"Lord Chief Assistant, what you said makes sense..."
"It can only be this way!"
After hearing what Liu Zheng said, the ministers also reached a consensus and asked Yu Qian to come out to put out the fire first. The details will be discussed after the incident is over.
"In that case... let Yu Qian take the blame and make amends!"
King Qin also noticed that this time, Liu Zheng was determined to protect Yu Qian!
This face must be given in the end.
Liu Zheng then raised his hand.
To release Yu Qian, Liu Zheng naturally went there in person.
Firstly, no one was willing to invite the prisoners who were sent to the sky jail to come out. Secondly, it was also because Liu Zheng wanted to hear Yu Qian's thoughts.
If Yu Qian can still face the collapse of the mountain without changing his expression, and use his principles to deal with the crisis at hand, then he is a unique genius, and Liu Zheng will reuse him immediately.
But if he hesitates and doesn't know what to say, it means he still lacks some firepower and needs to practice.
Less than two hours later, Liu Zheng returned to the Tianlao again.
This time, Yu Qian did not choose to ignore it like last time.
He knew that Liu Zheng was also a man of great talent, and he should respect such a person.
Liu Zheng ordered someone to open the cell and walked in directly.
"Although I really want to protect you, I can't be too tough due to the pressure from the vassals. Whether you can survive or not depends on you. Youzhou has proclaimed himself emperor and rebelled. The frontline has been directed towards Beijing, with an army of 200,000. The pressure is not small, if you can resolve the crisis, I can save your life and even reuse you."
Liu Zheng got straight to the point.
"In that case, I can go out now." Yu Qian chuckled.
"What do you mean?" Liu Zheng asked with great interest.
"The Youzhou Army is just putting on a show and won't actually attack." Yu Qian said.
Hearing Yu Qian's words, Liu Zheng's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, Yu Qian's views coincided with his own!
The important thing is that Yu Qian has always been in the prison!
He really seems to want to know what's going on in the world without going out.
"Your views are very insightful, but I have no intention of letting you walk out of here without doing anything. Besides, let the rebel army circle around the gate of my capital and return unscathed, and attack me, Long Yan. The influence is not good. If other rebels follow suit in the future, it will be troublesome. You can come, but you have to make him pay a price. Can you do this?" Liu Zheng asked.
After Liu Zheng finished speaking, Yu Qian started thinking.
There is no problem for Jinghua to protect itself, but it will be difficult to make the Youzhou army pay the price. After all, it is an army of 200,000, and it is not an easy bone to chew.
Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "There is a way, but it's a bit risky."
"explain."
Liu Zheng became interested and thought of a way to deal with it in such a short period of time. This was really not easy for Yu Qian.
You have to listen to yourself to see if this Yu Qian is talking nonsense on this piece of paper.
"There is more than just the Youzhou Army in the north of Beijing."
Yu Qian said.
"Oh?" Liu Zheng concentrated again. He did not expect that Yu Qian once again said what he was thinking in his heart.
"Outside the Pass, there is a powerful Liaodong Army. In addition to the Qingzhou Army that fought fiercely with Tsarist Russia, Liaodong also deployed a hundred thousand troops. These soldiers have survived in the bitter cold land all year round, and their combat effectiveness is far beyond that of the soldiers inside the Pass. In addition, they They were once rebels and are in urgent need of Long Yan's recognition. They will definitely do their best to fight for their name in this battle!" Yu Qian said.
Yu Qian's words penetrated Liu Zheng's heart.
These 100,000 people were once Qiao Yuan's men. They were recruited and reorganized after Liu Zheng's victory. They had no great achievements, and Liu Zheng did not dare to reuse them, so he was unable to promote some generals and make them his confidants.
After this battle, Liu Zheng can reward those who have meritorious service and unite the strength of the Liaodong Army for his own use.
He wants to use these 100,000 Liaodong Army to contain the Qingzhou Army in the northeast.
Although the Qingzhou Army led by Xiao Qian has been with him through life and death, the Qingzhou Army belongs to King Wei after all. The commander of the Qingzhou Army, Xiao Qian, is also a confidant of King Wei. When the interests are the same, the Qingzhou Army is naturally Liu Zheng's biggest helper. But once the interests are In the event of a conflict, the Qingzhou Army would be the biggest opponent.
