Chapter 314 Soldiers descend to Shanhaiguan

"It will take half a month for the Duke to return to Beijing." Li Qingsong pointed his finger at the table and glanced at Wang Tiqian with a pair of eagle-like eyes: "My lord, the most important thing now is the Dongchang fanzi in your hand. The key When the time comes, can I really obey your orders?"

Wang Tiqian is the governor of Dongchang and can command all Dongchang fans in Beijing at critical times.

"Don't worry, Master Li. It doesn't matter who those people in Dongchang take orders from. Just don't let them be in Beijing at the critical moment!" Wang Tiqian obviously had a plan in mind: "Wei Zhongxian wants to intercept all the letters from Shanxi Road, so he will definitely send a large number of Jin Yiwei. He Fanzi, I will send more people everywhere and send all the fans out. By then, there will not be a single Dongchang manpower in Beijing City or the Imperial Palace."

"But, based on this alone, do we think there are too few backup options?" Wang Tiqian said hesitantly: "After all, there are more than 30,000 people in the Beijing camp watching eagerly outside the city!"

"It doesn't matter," Li Qingsong said with a smile without any burden at all, "I just want to ask, how can a mere 30,000 Beijing troops be comparable to the Liaodong Iron Cavalry?"

hiss!
  Wang Tiqian was shocked when he heard this: "Is it true?"

"Stop this matter," Li Qingsong shook his head and interrupted Wang Tiqian's words.

Subconsciously reaching for the tea cup, Wang Tiqian's hands were trembling: Could it be that he was about to witness a real mutiny in his own hands?

"Actually, the Duke has already taken care of the rest of the matters. The most important thing for us," Li Qingsong pushed the handwritten letter on the table next to Wang Tiqian: "It is to arrange manpower to handle this matter at the critical moment." Report to the court!"

Lowering his eyes and looking at the letter, Wang Ti put the letter in his sleeve without leaving any trace: Tell the Duke, don't worry!
  "By the way," Li Qingsong took a sip of tea: "I heard that Ye Xianggao's health is getting better and he can start walking yesterday? And Sun Chengzong also returned to the capital from Jizhou Prefecture after recuperating yesterday, and Xu Guangqi also returned from Henan Back in Beijing, Lu Yu no longer asked for leave, and even went to the Ministry of War yesterday. And Wang Huazhen also followed the Duke back to Beijing."

As the former chief of the Prime Minister's Military Affairs Yamen returned to Beijing, the former cabinet ministers and members of the Military Affairs Yamen also miraculously recovered and returned to work.

"This matter," Wang Tiqian laughed once or twice: "It's hard for our family to comment. Maybe it's because the Duke's reputation is so great that all ghosts, gods and disasters can't be avoided, and all the illnesses of my husband have been cured."

"Good thing. Just wait for the drama to begin," Li Qingsong wiped his mouth: "I still have something to do, so I'll take a step forward and say goodbye!"

----

In mid-April of the third year of Tianqi, in Shenyang, Liaodong Province, the General Military Mansion.

Qin Erbao was one of the few famous generals in the world at that time. Except for Prince Qi of Qi, no one in Liaodong could compare with him, let alone outshine him. Anyone who met Qin Erbao in Liaodong had to kowtow to pay homage to Zhang. Respectfully.

This is true even for the Jin Yiwei who entered the Liao Dynasty under the emperor's decree.

"Are you following the emperor's secret order to announce my arrival in the capital?" Qin Erbao sat there, put the edict in his hand back on the table, and looked up at Mr. Qian, the Jinyi Wei who stood upright.

"Replying to General Qin, the Emperor's secret message is that I have to do it as a last resort," General Jinyi Qian pressed the knife with his hand, lowered his head, and was extremely polite.

You must know that the Jin Yiwei are extremely domineering when working for the emperor. Even if they see the cabinet bachelors, these Jin Yiwei will have their nostrils turned upward and be arrogant.

But standing in front of Qin Erbao today, there was no trace of vigor or tyranny.

First, Qin Erbao was the commander-in-chief of Liaodong and made him anxious. He could disappear into the vast land with just one order.

Secondly, Qin Erbao is the Duke of Qi's confidant. Now is the critical moment in the battle between the emperor and Duke of Qi. How to choose? You need to be more cautious - no one can afford to offend these thousands of households.

"Hey," Qin Erbao stretched out his hand to stroke his brow and said with a smile, "but I didn't receive the order from Duke Qi to change defenses."

"General Qin, this is a command from the Holy Emperor and has nothing to do with the Duke of Qi," Jin Yiwei coughed lightly and repeated.

"It has nothing to do with the Duke of Qi?" Qin Erbao, as if awakening from a big dream, stretched out his hand to push the oracle out of the table: "Then please go back." "General Soldier! Please think twice," Jin Yiwei Qian's head was sweating. If Qin Erbao and others cannot be invited back to Beijing, then his life may be lost - Wei Zhongxian does not know how to raise idle people, and he cannot bear the emperor's anger: "As long as you come back to Beijing with me, everything will be fine." It’s easy to discuss. Can you decide the time?”

"Let's do this," Qin Erbao touched his chin and said to the thousand households in brocade clothes: "I'm not embarrassed. You stay here for three days. I will set off in three days and we will return to Beijing together. How about that?" "

"Thank you so much, Mr. Qin." Qianyi Qianhu was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately bowed: "I have been waiting in Shenyang City for three days. After three days, we will all leave the city and return to Beijing!"

Now that the matter was settled, all the royal guards didn't stay too long. They thanked them again before leaving slowly.

Not long after, Qin Erbao was the only one left in the hall. He picked up the holy edict, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then put it down: "Hey, Brother Qi is very good at predicting things."

After saying this, Qin Erbao took out a secret letter from Zhucheng two days ago from his sleeve.

In the letter, Wang Qi asked Qin Erbao to lead troops and set out in three days to reach Shanhaiguan.

The emperor wanted to summon Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao and others to the capital in advance and keep them under strict supervision to prevent Wang Qi from overturning the table and threatening the world with a large number of troops.

He stretched out his hand, folded the two secret letters, and held them over the flames.

Not long after, the flames burned and turned the letter into ashes.

"Come here!" Qin Erbao suddenly stood up and called out: "Send orders to all the guard posts and camps. In three days, the army will set off and go to Shanhaiguan. It will be limited to one month for camp training!"

"In addition, all Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi who enter Liaodong from Shanhaiguan are strictly monitored. No one can leave Shenyang City without a warrant from the General Military Office!"

"As ordered!"

What are Wang Qi’s final thoughts?
  Nobody knows.

Even as close as Qin Erbao, he kept the matter secret.

But Qin Erbao knew that the current situation no longer allowed Wang Qi to wait any longer.

Take action no matter what.

By the time the enemy counterattacks with the butcher knife raised to his head, it will be too late.

So after receiving Wang Qi's letter to mobilize troops, Qin Erbao made rapid preparations.

When Jinyiwei crossed Shanhaiguan, Qin Erbao had already received the news and had already thought of countermeasures.

More than 100,000 Liaodong cavalry were Wang Qi's greatest confidence to dare to enter Beijing again.

As long as Liaodong's 100,000 cavalry were still in Wang Qi's hands, Emperor Tianqi would not have the guts to lay a finger on Wang Qi.

At best, he can regain some face in the imperial edict.
