After being reborn, I became a scumbag and his aunt

Chapter 630
Emperor Qingming's eyes sank, and he lost his original composure.

The rumors about the ghost-faced general are true or false. He has been investigating the origin of the ghost-faced general for more than half a year, but the people he sent to the northwest found nothing.The ghost-faced general seems to have left only legends, and no other traces have been left behind.Even a shrewd person like Lu Zhen'an never found a trace of them.

What they can only be sure of is that General Ghost Face's soldiers and horses are powerful, comparable to ordinary soldiers.

After many investigations, Lu Zhen'an speculated based on the situation in the Northwest that the ghost-faced general had about [-] to [-] troops.

In other words, General Ghost Face's soldiers and horses came out in full force.

And a few days ago, when the crown prince first returned to Beijing, he once commented on General Ghost Face: "The tactics are tricky, the martial arts are strong, and his soldiers and horses are powerful. One enemy and three are absolutely no problem."

According to the combat strength of one enemy and three, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing are no different from hitting a stone with an egg in front of General Ghost Face.

In just an instant, Emperor Qingming's heart was full of twists and turns.

When Emperor Qingming walked to the gate of the palace, his footsteps stopped suddenly, and he hurried back to the palace.

"Ayao, it may not be peaceful outside these few days, no matter what, you can't leave the palace. Zhen will send experts to protect you, as long as you don't leave the palace, everything will be fine."

Chen Man had already noticed the strangeness of Emperor Qingming, and asked uneasily, "It's not peaceful? What happened?"

Emperor Qingming didn't have time to answer her, "We must stay in the palace!"

The speaker has already left the hall.

There was brilliance in Chen Man's eyes, she stayed in the bed and walked out of the main hall, standing under the veranda and looking at the sky beyond the high palace walls.

Uneasy?
Mai Dong nervously followed behind Chen Man, and said softly, "Empress, it's cold outside, you'd better go back to the palace."

Chen Man shook her head, "It's too boring, the palace is too boring, I want to stay outside for a while."

Since the empress woke up, she seemed to have forgotten the rules in the palace, and often referred to herself as "I", but now she suddenly called herself "My Palace", which was to declare her status.

Mai Dong could feel displeasure from this, she dared not provoke the queen, the emperor would not spare her lightly.

Mai Dong had no choice but to go back to the palace to get a thick cloak, put it on the queen, and brought out a chaise longue, put a blanket on it, and invited the queen to sit down.

Chen Man didn't refuse, she was a little tired.

Emperor Qingming left Kunning Palace and went straight to Qianqing Palace.

Wu Jian followed behind with great effort, but he couldn't catch up no matter what, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Qingming suddenly slowed down, and doubts appeared in his eyes.

He is too impatient.How could tens of thousands of private soldiers be activated based on the words of one dark guard?
If it was just like the time in the twelfth lunar month, it was just a design by Wang Can, wouldn't he have exposed his last reliance all at once?

He has always thought a lot, but today...it's really abnormal, he doesn't even know why he is like this.

Emperor Qingming changed his way to the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Chen was listening to the report from the scouts, who were talking about the soldiers and horses of General Ghost Face.

Emperor Qingming stayed in the imperial study for half an hour, and two consecutive groups of soldiers came to report, both with the same content.These soldiers included scouts from the camp in the western suburbs and lieutenants sent by the camp in Liangchuan.

The Liang Chuan camp found out the clues, but they didn't dare to act without a soldier talisman, so they had to send someone to ask for an order first.

That is no fake.

Emperor Qingming swung back to the left and right, and looked at Zhao Chen, "General Ghost Face rebelled, what do you think?"

Zhao Chen frowned, "Although this person has a treacherous mind, people can't figure out his details, but looking at his loyalty and bravery in fighting Xiliang in the northwest, I would never have thought that he would commit treason."

He really couldn't figure out the details of Zhao Chengyuan.When he was in the Northwest, he thought that Zhao Chengyuan had [-] soldiers and horses, but when he reviewed the battle situation later, he found that he had only [-] soldiers and horses.But now, how did the extra [-] soldiers come from?
Is it the result of Zhao Chengyuan's preparation for so many days to use all the soldiers and horses to attack the city?
Or... blah blah blah?
But his soldiers and horses are all outside the city, so how can they attack the west?

Zhao Chengyuan has been refusing to reveal all his plans, and he can only infer from the arrangements Zhao Chengyuan asked him to make.

It was just the beginning, and Zhao Chen couldn't understand Zhao Chengyuan's moves anymore.

Emperor Qingming's eyes were dark, and he sneered, "There are too many people who want to sit on this throne. He has soldiers and horses, so it's strange to want to rebel."

Therefore, once he sat on the throne, he would always keep himself vigilant and not trust anyone.

Zhao Chen's face was serious, and he said worriedly, "His [-] soldiers and horses came out in full force. With the strength of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop him. The Liangchuan camp is thousands of miles away, and the water in the distance cannot quench the thirst... Broken, the ghost-faced general is bound to be like a broken bamboo..."

Emperor Qingming also thought of this.

The palace wall is their last line of defense, against the powerful rebels, they cannot bet their hopes on the palace wall.

Even though he had [-] private soldiers in his hands, which was comparable to General Ghost Face's troops, he didn't have the confidence to stop that tiger and wolf army.

The best way is to let some private soldiers go out of the city to meet the enemy first, and keep the ghost-faced general's soldiers and horses out of the city wall as much as possible.

The city wall of the capital city has solid and well-equipped city defenses and a wide moat, which is more effective than passively meeting the enemy in the palace.

Emperor Qingming didn't delay any longer, and went to the secret compartment to take out the tiger talisman from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, but he couldn't figure out who to give it to.

The camp in the suburbs of Beijing is now commanded by General Li, the veteran of the two dynasties, but at such a critical juncture, he cannot tie his worth and life to one person.

The power to command the camp in the suburbs of Beijing must be in the hands of someone he trusts, and this person must have the talents of a general, who can complement Old General Li.In this way, the combat power of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing can be brought into full play.

The fourth prince was in Beijing at this time, but this son was too embarrassing to use. Handing over the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to him at this time would be tantamount to ruining his own life.

Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen acted quickly, and two huge sand tables had been placed in the center of the imperial study room, one was the topography of the capital, and the other was the topography around the capital.

Zhao Chen was facing the sand table, his eyes downcast in thought.

Emperor Qingming said, "Who should hand over the soldier talisman of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chen turned around, thought for a while, and said, "Old General Li has rich experience in leading troops and is also loyal. Father only needs to send someone to hand over the military talisman to him, and he will lead the entire army."

Emperor Qingming shook his head, "He alone is not enough. If his will is not firm, or if an accident occurs during the battle between the two armies, there will be no one in the army who can stabilize the morale of the army. We must send another general to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The first is to check and balance, and the second is to be prepared.”

Zhao Chen was thoughtful.

"Nowadays, there is no shortage of leading generals in Beijing. King Cheng, Duke Ding, Prince Ding, Prince Anling, no matter who they go to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, they can make the camp in the suburbs of Beijing even more powerful."
