Chapter 312
Liu Qu has been living a good life recently, the court ordered him to guard Shanhaiguan, and he has completed the task brilliantly.

Want to go to Liaodong to serve the country by serving the army?No problem, want to send supplies to Liaodong?Then there is no problem. Anyway, Liaodong will send a large amount of silver every month, and corruption is not as fast as this money.

What did you say?Cut off the lifeline of Liaodong?You can do it!Don't just talk but don't practice, such vicious Jurchen Tartars and Mongol Tartars have to be honest in front of Ye Gonggong, you want me to offend him?I still want to live a few more years!
This is Liu Qu's current thinking. Anyway, no matter how strict the imperial court ordered to cut off the passage leading to Liaodong, he would always listen with one ear and pop in the other, what should be done, and what should be done.

According to the original arrangement, there should be [-] troops stationed at Shanhaiguan. At the beginning, Liu Qu was really afraid that Ye Xun would rebel, so he did put together [-] troops.

But as the relationship between him and Liaodong became more and more harmonious, it was a bit inappropriate for so many people to stay in Shanhaiguan. Firstly, I was sorry for the money Ye Xun gave, and secondly, with so many people here, how could he still eat nothing? ?
Therefore, although there are still 1 soldiers reported to the Ministry of War, the actual number of soldiers is only more than 3000.

This is a fine and good tradition of the generals of the Ming Army and Guards. It's not that the Ministry of War doesn't know, but they can't do anything to these generals even if they know it.

It was night, just as Liu Qu put down his small wine cup, a guard walked in quickly outside the door.

"I'm going to rest, I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have anything to say"

"General, someone from Liaodong is here. He said he has something urgent to ask for an appointment. I'm afraid it will be too late."

Someone from Liaodong?

Liu Qu frowned, it seems that this month's money has just been delivered!Why are you here again?
Although it was not very happy to affect his rest, since he was from Liaodong, he had to disappear, so he put on some clothes and ordered the guards to bring the visitor in.

Two people came in, besides a stranger in his thirties, and Liu Qu's number one aide, Fu Yuan.

"Hey! Old Fu, it's so late, why are you here?"

Liu Qu didn't look at the stranger, but turned to Fu Yuan.

Fu Yuan's expression was very serious, and he cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate is here to save the general, time is running out, and the general please make a decision as soon as possible."

The more Liu Qu listened, the more confused he became. What is it all about?When is my life in danger?

Fu Yuan turned his head and nodded to the stranger. The stranger took a step forward and said, "General Liu, this villain was ordered by my father-in-law to come here to tell General Liu that the [-] Liaodong Army will arrive at Shanhaiguan tomorrow morning. How about General Liu?" Make a decision, please General Liu to make a decision as soon as possible.”

"What did you say?"

Liu Qu almost jumped up from his seat, looked at the stranger in disbelief, and sat back uncontrollably after the stranger told the story again.

He couldn't stop muttering: "How could this be? Is Eunuch Ye really going to rebel?."

The stranger smiled indifferently, and said: "General Liu, don't misunderstand, my father-in-law just heard that someone wanted to plot something wrong during His Majesty's wedding, so he sent Liaodong Army King Qin to escort him."

"In order to prevent someone from the court from pursuing General Liu afterwards, my father-in-law hereby ordered the villain to notify the general in advance."

Liu Qu was completely stupid. He knew very well that Ye Xun's subordinates were polite, but if he didn't agree, [-] cavalry would flatten Shanhaiguan in an instant. The Liaodong iron cavalry who have to retreat?

Thinking about the consequences, Liu Qu shook his head tightly, but as the stranger said, if he let the Liaodong Army pass by like this, the court would definitely investigate afterward.

Given the emperor's and courtiers' hatred for Ye Xun, he was undoubtedly the most suitable scapegoat, beheading would be trivial, and the most likely end would be ransacking his family and exterminating his family.

Before he knew it, beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.

The stranger didn't force him, but he still winked at Fu Yuan calmly.

Liu Qu didn't know that as early as when Ye Xun returned to Liaodong, Fu Yuan had already taken refuge in Ye Xun, not because he was bribed, but because his home was in Shenyang.

"General, Eunuch Ye has two conditions for you. One is to go to the south of the Yangtze River incognito. If the general agrees, Eunuch Ye will give you a sum of money. The other condition is to join the Liaodong Army. It's just that the general used to do it. I’m afraid it won’t work in the Liaodong Army.”

After hearing Fu Yuan's words, Liu Qu's head finally came to his senses, looked at Fu Yuan with a wry smile and said, "Eunuch Ye is really kind to me! It seems that I really have nowhere to go, okay! Please tell Eunuch Ye , I would like to go to Jiangnan"

Fu Yuan stretched out his thumb and praised: "General Liu is wise, so let's wrong the general first and wait a day, and send someone to send the general away after our army has passed the pass."

Now that things have come to this point, there is no need for Fu Yuan to pretend anymore.

Seeing Fu Yuan's uplifted appearance, Liu Qu was a little skeptical. What kind of magical power did Ye Xun have that could make Liaodong soldiers and civilians, and even his own staff, so loyal to him?

Of course, Fu Yuan was not the only spies from Liaodong hiding in Shanhaiguan. After Liu Qu handed over the letter of the military seal, the entire Guancheng immediately moved.

The official road leading to the capital was completely sealed off to prevent news from leaking out in advance. All the soldiers on duty were replaced by soldiers led by spies from Liaodong, and the city gates would be opened as soon as the Liaodong army arrived.

When Fu Yuan issued the order, he did not carry Liu Qu behind his back, and it was only at this moment that Liu Qu realized that he had already been excluded by his subordinates, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced for the choice just now. Killed.

As soon as it was daylight, the ground suddenly shook. Experienced soldiers knew that this effect would only occur when a large group of cavalry was galloping.

Standing on the closed wall and looking into the distance, I saw a fiery red suddenly appearing on the horizon, moving rapidly to this side.

The Ming army was still red, and [-] cavalry gathered and galloped together. It was really like a huge red wave. The overwhelming momentum seemed to be able to overwhelm everything, which made people's hearts shake.

Fortunately, this is my own team, otherwise the soldiers on the wall would abandon the pass and flee. Who can resist such an army?
The army was still some distance away, and the soldiers of the Ming army on the wall couldn't help cheering.

Liu Qu also came to the city wall. Seeing the galloping Liaodong Iron Cavalry, he suddenly regretted it. Why didn't he choose to join the Liaodong Army?
Ye Xun is an eunuch, and someone will inherit all of this in the future. Although he is not a handsome talent, if he wants to find a foothold in the Liaodong Army, it should be possible, right?
In Liu Qu's wild imagination, the army had already arrived at the city gate, and the city gate had already been opened, so the army did not stop at all. After slowing down, they filed into the city gate, and then, led by the knights in the city, galloped from the other side of the city gate out.

The [-] troops were going to join Ye Xun in Yongping, so Ye Xun set a strict marching time for them.

Once out of Shanhaiguan, the army regrouped again, and then rushed towards the direction of Daming capital like a flood that had been released from the gate.
