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

Chen Jian walked out of the tent and walked quickly forward.

Kou Yu hurriedly caught up, his face full of anxiety, but his tone was full of courtesy. He whispered: "Wait a minute, Governor Chen! Governor Chen is really too anxious this time.

We don't necessarily have to hand over our military power. Ding Wenwuchen, the governor, would definitely not dare to take action rashly against his troops.

We can bargain with him again."

As he spoke, Kou Yu's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety. He bowed slightly and saluted with both hands, waiting for Chen Jian to change his mind so that he could pull Chen Jian back to the general's tent.

But Chen Jian walked around Kou Yu and took steady and firm steps.

In the Bingzhou army camp, there were groups of war horses, some neighing with their heads held high, some pacing restlessly, creating a lively scene.

But Chen Jian didn't even look at it.

It was not until Kou Yu anxiously pulled Chen Jian's sleeve that Chen Jian smiled and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, General Kou, come and follow me."

After saying this, he strode forward with confidence.

Seeing this, Kou Yu was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to ask too much and hurriedly followed closely.

The two men moved forward, passing through the area full of war horses and walked out of the Bingzhou army camp.

Arrived at the Yanzhou army camp.

At this time, Kou Yu became more and more uneasy, wondering what Chen Jian was thinking.

However, Chen Jian strode forward with Kou Yu and soon left the Bingzhou military camp full of war horses.

Soon, they arrived at the Yanzhou army camp.

Looking around, most of the Yanzhou army were infantry. Although there was no spectacular sight of tens of thousands of war horses, the strict patrol formations and upright postures all demonstrated good military discipline.

As Chen Jian and Kou Yu walked through such a military camp, Kou Yu couldn't help but sigh that the Yanzhou troops were all elite, no worse than the elite border troops he had led.

Finally, they arrived at the general's tent of the Yanzhou army.

At this moment, Kou Yu was the first to lose his patience. He took a step forward, his expression anxious yet also a bit puzzled, and respectfully asked, "Envoy Chen, I wonder what exactly you mean by this action?"

Chen Jian stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm. He tilted his head slightly to look at Kou Yu and said slowly, "General Kou, do you know that there are many Tatars in Ding Wen's army now? If we return without success this time, I don't mind, but these Tatars have come south with great difficulty. Are they willing to return empty-handed and with heavy casualties?

So, now I just have to wait for Ding Wen to send someone to find me personally!"

Hearing this, Kou Yu frowned and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, "Envoy Chen, are you sure Ding Wen will come to find us?"

Chen Jian raised his chin slightly and said with a firm look, "He has no choice."

Hearing this, Kou Yu felt a little more at ease.

He narrowed his eyes, a gleam of light flashing in them, and nodded slightly, saying, "What Envoy Chen said is absolutely right. If we can successfully defeat Di Gui this time, we will assist Prime Minister Yang in clearing the court and establishing a new emperor. The Prime Minister will definitely give Envoy Chen great benefits."

Hearing this, Chen Jian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It should be so. This is the purpose of this Governor coming here."

What Chen Jian was thinking at this moment was completely different from what Kou Yu was thinking.

He is not like Kou Yu, who is unwilling to be just Yang Dechang's dog. He worked hard to lead the army to the capital in order to seek the greatest benefits!

And everything happened just as Chen Jian expected.

Not long after, Ding Wen sent people to the Yanzhou army camp again.

The envoy was a strong man with an extraordinary bearing. He walked straight into the commander's tent and said to Chen Jian, "Envoy Chen, my governor sent me to tell you that we can join forces to attack together."

Chen Jian's expression did not change when he heard this, he just narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking.

Kou Yu on the side looked at Chen Jian with joy on his face.

But suddenly, Chen Jian snorted coldly, and a hint of arrogance appeared in his eyes.

He tilted his head slightly and said to the soldier beside him, "Go tell Ding Wen that we can attack together, but the Bingzhou cavalry must be the vanguard."

The messenger frowned slightly and could only retreat.

Kou Yu looked a little disappointed. He looked at Chen Jian, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Chen Jian, however, had noticed Kou Yu's thoughts in advance and waved his hand slightly, saying, "General Kou, don't worry. If Ding Wen wants to succeed, he will have to agree to this condition."

So Chen Jian and Kou Yu waited again.

This time, it was not until the next day that Ding Wen sent an envoy to the military camp.

"I'm here on the orders of Governor Ding to deliver a message. Governor Chen, Governor Ding said that if you don't sincerely want to cooperate with us, then we'll go our separate ways."

After hearing this, Chen Jian raised his eyes slightly, his eyes full of disdain, and responded coldly: "Huh, cooperation? How can Ding Wen be sincere? Go back and tell him that I, Chen Jian, am too lazy to get entangled with him. Let's fight our own battles."

The envoy was speechless for a moment, and after a moment he stammered, "Governor Chen, please think twice... This stalemate will not benefit anyone."

Chen Jian waved his hand, interrupting the messenger: "No need to say more, just go."

The messenger had no choice but to leave again.

Chen Jian and Kou Yu were once again waiting.

What they and Ding Wen didn't know was that during the meeting yesterday, Chen Jian's angry departure and the two envoys' travel between the two camps were all seen by several civilians who were lying in ambush in the dark.

The people had wild grass stuck in their heads and hid in the dark. They were all very cautious and hid in the grass near the military camp.

The place they chose not only had dense grass to hide in, but also concealed tunnels, making it extremely difficult for them to be discovered by scouts.

They were also keenly aware that what they saw this time was of great significance, and quickly passed the news back to the village.

Soon, a soldier riding a donkey set out from a nearby village.

Although the donkey was not as majestic as a horse, it was running at a very fast speed under the urging of the soldiers.

Soon, the soldier handed the letter in his hand to a soldier in another village.

Another soldier on a donkey set off.

These soldiers are constantly rotated.

Finally, the last soldier with the letter rode a mule and successfully arrived at the village where Ye Chen was.

At this time, dusk had arrived and it was getting dark.

Yun Fuyao, who was responsible for collecting all the intelligence, first let the soldiers go down to rest, and then marked numbers on the letters they received.

Then, she asked everyone to collect all the letters and prepare to give them to Ye Chen tomorrow.

At night, she didn't want to disturb Ye Chen's rest.
