Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

The next morning, the golden rooster crowed at dawn.

Outside the capital.

Thousands of horses galloping!

Eight thousand cavalrymen came from the plains, crossed the icy river, and gathered on the banks of the Wei River.

Two carriages sped past and also stopped by the river.

Yang Dechang and Gao Yunhe got off the carriage and looked at the large number of cavalry passing by them.

And among the cavalry, there were a large number of war horses.

Armor, weapons and other materials were all carried by the warhorse.

Eight thousand cavalrymen formed a formation that looked as if there were twenty or thirty thousand iron cavalrymen!

"I thought they were all light cavalry, but I didn't expect General Dou to be such a good leader!"

Gao Yunhe was quite moved and said.

"Oh, Brother Dingfang, a cavalryman can take several horses and ride them in rotation. That way, he can carry enough armor and weapons while traveling."

Yang Dechang narrowed his eyes and said, "However, to have so many war horses would also cost a lot of money."

There was an obvious hint of pride in Yang Dechang's tone.

Without his strong support behind the scenes, how could Dou Yu have created such a situation?

"Ding!"

Accompanied by the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.

Dozens of cavalrymen surrounded one person and rushed to Yang Dechang and Gao Yunhe.

Then, dozens of cavalrymen quickly dispersed, and the man who was surrounded was wearing a silver tiger helmet and a mask on his face, with only a pair of hawk-like eyes showing. However, he fell down as soon as he arrived in front of Yang Dechang.

"Dou Yu, I meet the Prime Minister!"

Dou Yu lifted his visor, revealing his prominent hooked nose.

He was so big and strong that even when he knelt on one knee, he didn't have to look up at Yang Dechang.

"General, please get up quickly!"

Yang Dechang immediately stepped forward and helped Kou Yu up.

"Prime Minister, I have brought 8,000 cavalry with me. The remaining infantry will arrive in three days at the latest!"

Dou Yu stood up and said with his head held high.

"it is good!"

"General Dou, now that you're here, I can finally rest assured."

"Come, let me welcome you first!"

Yang Dechang smiled slightly and pulled Dou Yu towards a tavern nearby.

At this moment, there were no other customers in the tavern by the Wei River.

But the chefs in the tavern were all brought by Yang Dechang.

Good wine and delicious food were served soon.

Dou Yu didn't even take a sip of his wine before he clasped his fists towards Yang Dechang and said, "Prime Minister, I heard some rumors while I was in the northwest."

"Has the emperor really become smarter?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Dechang, who had originally been showing a happy expression, immediately stopped smiling.

"General Dou, this is indeed the case."

Yang Dechang shook his head and said, "After the little emperor became smart, he caused me a lot of trouble."

"Many people from the six ministries of the imperial court have been arrested by the little emperor. Even several ministers have fallen victim to his murderous hands."

Yang Dechang shook his head and spoke in a low voice.

"Oh?"

Dou Yu was very surprised. After all, he was in the northwest border, and it was not easy for him to get news from the capital. He only knew that the little emperor suddenly became smart more than a month ago.

But I didn't expect that Yang Dechang had been forced to this point.

"General Dou, you don't know that not only the ministers in the court, but even the Beijing military camp has been manipulated by the little emperor!"

Gao Yunhe suddenly stood up and said.

"what?"

Dou Yu was even more surprised.

Even the military power outside the capital has been controlled by the emperor?

Dou Yu really couldn't believe it. He knew that Yang Dechang cared a lot about military power.

It seems that Yang Dechang was not just forced, he was completely defeated!

Dou Yu's face darkened immediately, and his tone suddenly became fierce: "If I had known earlier, I should have destroyed him!"

"General Dou, it's too late to say this now."

Yang Dechang shook his head, his face as dark as a gloomy cloud. He said, "That young emperor is cunning and treacherous, and he has a deep strategy. Not only is he on the verge of taking control of the Beijing camp, he has also gathered an army of 8,000 by recruiting bandits from Taiyuan."

"General Dou, this is why I urgently transferred you here."

"We must not indulge that little emperor any longer."

Upon hearing this, Kou Yu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, just give me your orders. I will follow your lead!"

"it is good."

Yang Dechang picked up the wine glass.

"General Dou, now that you're here, I already have an idea of ​​what's going on."

"Even if the young emperor gathered the entire Beijing camp, he would only have a motley crowd of 16,000 men. He is definitely no match for you, General."

"Come, General, eat and drink your fill first. Later, I will take you to the capital!"

Hearing this, Dou Yu quickly raised his glass.

After eating and drinking, Kou Yu left the tavern and sat on his horse again.

He then took 8,000 cavalrymen and more than 20,000 horses and followed Yang Dechang's carriage towards the capital.

For a moment, thousands of horses neighed and smoke and dust billowed.

It was the busy farming season, but these cavalrymen didn't care about the green rice seedlings in the fields and just marched through them.

When the people saw this, they all hid away.

Anyone who failed to dodge would be knocked over by the horses. Along the way, more and more people were injured or trampled to death.

An atmosphere of panic quickly spread across the Gyeonggi region.

But just when Dou Yu saw the city wall of the capital in the distance, a troop had already quickly deployed in front of him, and neatly arranged infantry phalanxes also came forward.

Like an iron wall, it blocked the cavalry's way.
