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

The eight thousand cavalrymen suddenly stopped.

Kou Yu jumped on his horse and ran to the carriage where Yang Dechang was.

"Prime Minister, it looks like the troops ahead are from the Beijing camp."

Kou Yu's face darkened slightly.

When did the Beijing troops become so brave?

"The Beijing camp doesn't have that many soldiers."

Yang Dechang walked out of the carriage, looked at the large number of soldiers gathered in the distance, and said.

"Prime Minister Yang, it seems the young emperor already knew that General Dou was coming, but we didn't get the news."

"Those people in the Beijing camp should be under control."

Gao Yunhe's face looked a little gloomy.

The troops in the Beijing camp came out in full force, but he did not receive any news. He guessed that the officers trained by Yang Dechang in the Beijing camp had been controlled.

"The little emperor has cleared out my spies outside the city. Otherwise, how could I not know that there are troops being mobilized outside the city?"

Yang Dechang's eyes were sharp, and then he said, "The little emperor is really cunning."

With his vicious eyes, it is not difficult to see that Ye Chen may have known that he had transferred Kou Yu here, so he took action against his spies among the people in advance.

"Prime Minister, these are infantry, but there are quite a lot of them."

Kou Yu frowned slightly.

He had eight thousand cavalrymen under his command, all fully armored. If he were to encounter an enemy on the battlefield, he would have the courage to charge directly and crush them even if they had twice as many infantrymen.

But the problem is.

These cavalrymen had followed him on a long journey for many days and were now the most exhausted. However, the 16,000-strong army in front of them had rested and were ready for battle.

Therefore, Kou Yu had no confidence in defeating these infantrymen.

"General Kou, don't panic. Take my Prime Minister's order and tell the troops of the Beijing Camp to move out of the way!"

Yang Dechang waved his hand and said with confidence.

After all, most of the officers in the Beijing Camp were his eyes and ears. Logically speaking, even Liu Chengyu could not have the final say in the Beijing Camp.

Even though his men were under control, his official position was not removed. Yang Dechang was still confident that he could command the troops of the Beijing Camp.

Upon hearing this, Kou Yu immediately called his men and took Yang Dechang's token to pass on the message.

Two heavily armored cavalrymen strode forward and charged towards the army lined up in formation.

But after these two cavalrymen shouted.

A man had already walked out from the square formation of infantry.

The man was riding a fine horse and wearing bright clothes and armor. He was obviously a famous general.

However, after the general walked up to the two cavalrymen who were shouting, he simply took the token handed over by the two cavalrymen, gave them a few instructions, turned the reins, and rode back to the army formation.

However, the news brought back by the two cavalrymen after their quick return made Kou Yu's face turn pale.

"Prime Minister Yang, this army's generals are refusing to move aside!"

After Kou Yu came to Yang Dechang, he said, "Furthermore, this general also said that he has an imperial edict in his hand. He will not give in according to the edict. No other order can compare to an imperial edict!"

Hearing this, Yang Dechang clenched his teeth and uttered three words full of hatred.

"Liu! Cheng! Yu! You dare not even give me face? I will remember this!"

Yang Dechang's eyes darkened as he spoke, "General Kou, the border troops are here because of a dispatch order from the Secretariat. Send someone to ask the Beijing troops why they're stopping here."

"Could it be that they intend to attack Dayu's soldiers guarding the border?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

With just one sentence, Yang Dechang labeled these Beijing soldiers as rebels.

"Yes!"

Kou Yu naturally understood what Yang Dechang meant. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and immediately rode his warhorse to give orders.

Soon, dozens of cavalrymen galloped out.

In order to let the soldiers of the Beijing camp hear clearly, these cavalrymen galloped past the infantry phalanxes, shouting loudly as they ran.

The infantry phalanx was a little confused.

Once the label of rebellion is put on the soldiers, it is natural that some soldiers will panic.

Seeing this, Yang Dechang was initially somewhat happy.

But the next moment, his eyes immediately opened wide and his face quickly showed an expression of emotion.

It was only because a flag was quickly raised between the infantry phalanxes he saw.

That is a golden flag.

A five-clawed golden dragon was clearly painted on the flag.

After the golden flag appeared, the infantry phalanx, which had originally seemed chaotic, quickly calmed down.

"The little emperor is here?"

Yang Dechang was surprised.

He didn't expect that Ye Chen would come.

You know, this time Kou Yu brought 8,000 cavalry.

Under normal circumstances, such combat power could easily deal with a mob of 16,000 people.

Ye Chen actually dared to take the risk of appearing outside the city.

This courage really exceeded Yang Dechang's expectations.

Originally, if he had enough spies outside the city, he would naturally be able to discover Ye Chen's actions and would not be completely helpless.

But now, he was really caught off guard.

"Prime Minister, do you want me to lead the cavalry in a charge? Kill that bastard emperor!"

Kou Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but his tone revealed a hint of murderous intent.

Hearing this, Yang Dechang felt a little tempted. If he could really kill Ye Chen, that would undoubtedly be the best thing.

But he hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head.

The fact that Ye Chen dared to leave the city undoubtedly proved that Ye Chen must have made some preparations.

After much consideration, Yang Dechang decided to play it safe.

After all, if he really asked Kou Yu to kill the emperor, that would be regicide, and that would be true rebellion.

By then, he will be a traitor to the country.

Not to mention, it is very likely that he cannot be killed.

Just as Yang Dechang was thinking about it, two cavalrymen suddenly jumped out from the 16,000-strong army opposite him.

"The Emperor has issued an oral order, inviting Prime Minister Yang, General Gao, and General Kou to the military for a discussion!"

The two cavalrymen shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Kou Yu and Gao Yunhe both looked at Yang Dechang.

"General Kou, please gather a thousand elite cavalrymen and accompany me to see the young emperor."

Yang Dechang narrowed his eyes and said, "Brother Dingfang, you stay!"

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. If that little emperor really dares to attack you, I will fight him to the death."

Gao Yunhe said immediately.

"Oh, the little emperor wouldn't be that stupid."

Yang Dechang shook his head. He had 8,000 cavalrymen at his disposal, and another 1,000 cavalrymen protecting him.

If Ye Chen really dares to attack him, then both sides will be doomed!

Yang Dechang was confident that he could protect himself, and even thought about bringing his elite cavalry to show off in front of Ye Chen and demonstrate the strength he had.

Teach Ye Chen a good lesson!
