"In the hands of the crown prince, plus the collected remnants of the previous dynasty, there are almost 20 soldiers and horses in his hands."

Ruan Qingcheng was shocked.

"so much?"

The key is that Jiangnan is not far from Beijing. With 20 soldiers and horses, it is easy to capture Kyoto.

The soldiers and horses in Kyoto plus the Imperial Forest Army would not exceed [-] to death.

Waiting for General An from the frontier to come back for reinforcements, I am afraid that Kyoto will fall for several days.

Ruan Qingcheng anxiously said: "What to do, Aning, is it possible to see the crown prince conquering the capital so recklessly and become emperor? The most important thing is that there are too many important people in the capital. If you are in their hands, people outside will not dare to act rashly. Aning, or you can take your aunt away."

"You are gone, General An will support Kyoto without any worries."

An Ning shook her head, her brows were stained a little with burnt color.

"I sent a letter to my father a month ago. He sent a soldier back to the capital secretly. It should be here soon."

Ruan Qingcheng was startled secretly, that An Ning actually planned to have an accident in Dongdong a month ago.

"How many soldiers and horses does General An have?"

An Ning covered her eyes.

"No more than [-]."

Any more and it will be noticeable.

And if nothing happened, the general's mansion would also be charged with treason.

His father believed her, but he also had his own measure.

Ruan Qingcheng's eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Twenty thousand soldiers and horses add up to no more than fifty thousand. How can they withstand 20 soldiers and horses?"

"Don't worry about Qingcheng. It has been half a month since Canglan went to Jiangnan. Although the journey to Jiangnan is not far, it is not close. The Holy Majesty should have arrangements during this period, let's wait and see."

With Gu Qingzhao around, how could the capital lose.

When they guessed that the crown prince and Xu Xiang were going to rebel, the two began to make their own preparations.

If she guessed correctly, Gu Qingzhao should still have a hole card in his hand.

Coincidentally, Gu Qingzhao's voice rang out just outside the door.

An Ning's expression changed.

Gu Qingzhao said with serious eyes: "The prince launched an attack on the capital, and now he has arrived in Linlan County."

Ruan Qingcheng's expression changed drastically.

An Ning said calmly, "How is the battle going?"

"Cang Lan's momentum is like a broken bamboo."

Gu Qingzhao paused and continued: "But Heiyunqi also came, and they stopped people outside Linlan County, using Henghe as the boundary."

Heiyunqi, it turned out to be Heiyunqi.

Heiyunqi is the most elite soldier under An Ning's father, and everyone can stop a hundred with one.

"But there are too many people who can't beat Cang Lan."

After all, it is not a long-term solution.

"Qingzhao, if my guess is correct, is General Qihu from the south already on his way?"

Gu Qingzhao nodded.

"General Qihu is now encircling Jiangnan from the rear."

The corners of An Ning's lips curled slightly, as expected.

She wrote a letter to her father a month ago, and Gu Qingzhao wrote a letter to her friend General Qihu.

These two soldiers formed the last hope to rescue Daye.

As long as Hei Yunqi can support General Qihu to come, when the reinforcements arrive, the two sides will double-team from the front and back, and the enemy will be wiped out.

Ruan Qingcheng worried: "But, it's too late to go out now."

Gu Qingzhao said coldly: "General Qihu, I started preparations a month ago, and within half a month, I will definitely arrive."

Ruan Qingcheng was shocked.

The two in front of them were actually planning this matter a month ago.

The point is, they made such bold predictions without thinking about the consequences if things didn't develop in the direction they thought.

If the prince did not rebel or escaped from the capital, then the behavior of these two people was found to be a crime of treason.

Ruan Qingcheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Gu Qingzhao walked to An Ning's side, and stroked her hair very gently.

He said softly: "Don't be afraid, the prince cannot enter the capital."

Anning nodded.

Of course she is not afraid.

The current situation seems to be that the prince has the upper hand, but they will not be weaker than the prince invisibly.

The crown prince and Xu Xiang, who had never led soldiers to fight, wanted to step over Heiyunqi for a short time.

They don't have that power.

And a very important card is still in Kyoto.

An Ning and Gu Qingzhao looked at each other, they were connected with each other, and they both understood what the other was thinking.

An Ning said softly: "The queen is a very useful card. The crown prince and Xu Xiangtie are determined to capture the capital. It is useless to threaten the queen. But taking the queen's sacrifice flag before the battle will disturb the morale of the army."

It is definitely impossible to use the queen to threaten the prince to surrender.

But if the queen is used to sow dissension before the battle, how many people's minds will be shaken.

After all, the queen is the prince's biological mother. How can someone believe that he will treat his subordinates well if he doesn't even want to take care of his biological mother.

"It's just, the Holy Majesty over there..."

Although the empress has been abolished now, she used to be a descendant for decades at least.

To put it bluntly, openly take the queen's sacrifice flag.

If it is spread to the enemy country, it will inevitably affect Daye's image.

Gu Qingzhao took An Ning's hand, and said softly, "Leave it to me, Your Majesty. As for the rest, in troubled times, the most indispensable thing is criticism from literati."

"it is good."

On the second day, Gu Qingzhao brought up the matter of using the abolished flag for sacrifice in the court hall.

It immediately caused an uproar in the court.

Say anything.

There are those who oppose it and those who support it.

The opposing party simply felt that offering sacrifices to the flags was done by captives, and that no matter how serious the mistake was made after the abolition, it had once represented Daye's face.

Even if the abolishment of the sacrifice flag will affect the enemy, it will hurt the enemy one thousand and eight hundred.

The side that supports it feels that it is already imminent at this time.

If you don't think about some countermeasures, the capital will be pierced, and there will be eggs under the overturned nest.

Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon chair and closed his eyes.

Finally, he sighed, and issued an imperial decree to abolish the Queen's Sacrifice Flag.

At this time, keeping Kyoto is the top priority.

After escorting Fei Hou to Linlan County, Gu Qingzhao took people there.

At the gate of the city when he was about to leave the city, Gu Qingzhao saw An Ning standing beside him.

He walked up to her and saw that she had packed her bundles, and there was a horse beside her, and he sighed.

"A'Ning, can you just wait for me in Kyoto? Going to Linlan County is dangerous, you..."

An Ning interrupted him.

"Master Gu! I didn't go because of you, I went for the people of the world."

What she said was the truth, she would go today no matter if there was Gu Qingzhao or not.

The main reason she went was not because of him.

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhao fell silent for a while.

He knew that the girl in front of him was just like when she was a child, she would definitely do what she decided to do.

He also has no right to stop her.

"Feel sorry."

An Ning's tone softened, "I know you are worried about me, so there is no need to apologize."

The corners of Gu Qingzhao's lips curved slightly.

"I will respect everything you want to do, and what I have to do is to be by your side and protect you all the time."
