Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 329: The generals are arrogant and their delusions are increasing day by day

Gushan is located in the northeast of Shuntianfu.

More than two hundred miles to the south is the boundary of Tongzhou Prefecture in Gyeonggi Province.

Four hundred and twenty miles to the southwest is the boundary of Suncheonfu, Gyeonggi Province.

The more than 50,000 Liaodong soldiers and horses were divided into three parts. The first part, more than 5,000 people, served as the vanguard and had crossed Tongzhou to the east bank of the Wenyu River. The second part, 17,000 people, was stationed under Tongzhou City, and the remaining 30,000 people followed Qin Er. Bao is stationed at the boundary of Gushan.

When going south to Shanhaiguan, Qin Erbao only carried enough food for each person for three days, so when he went from Shanhaiguan to Jizhou Prefecture and then to Tongzhou, Qin Erbao borrowed three grains from the yamen of the three prefectures in the name of the governor of the capital. Thousands of stones of grain are enough to feed 50,000 people for ten days.

As for how to pay back the three thousand stones?
  Qin Erbao felt that after the Liaodong soldiers went south, the world no longer needed to support so many soldiers and horses. All except the Liaodong soldiers could be disbanded: they were just a bunch of weak soldiers who were vulnerable to attack.

General barracks account.

Qin Erbao sat in the tent and looked at the letter Li Qingsong asked him to bring.

"You secret guards like to do these frivolous things," Qin Erbao sneered as he watched his personal attendant shake the letter paper and slowly pull out the secret message from the mezzanine: "Even if someone discovers it, what can he do? ? Are our 50,000 men and horses in Liaodong vegetarian? Even if those good generals in the south gather 200,000 troops and go north, I can still lead the army to crush them!"

The steel swords forged by fighting with the slaves are not comparable to those coward soldiers in the south who have been soaked in Wenrou Township all year round!

"Commander Li said that General Qin is naturally brave and unparalleled, but in the capital, the Duke's side is still in danger and has to be careful." The words of the messenger directly choked Qin Erbao.

"Humph, Brother Qi is also a mother-in-law. What kind of parliamentary governance should be restarted? Can't you directly replace the Zhu family and ascend the throne yourself? Brothers have been through life and death. At this point, with the most powerful soldiers and horses in the world, why do you need to test people's hearts like this?" Qin Erbao didn't ask. Ignoring the messenger, he lowered his head to look at the news. After a while, he raised his head and asked, "What do you think?"

"The general's question is a distraction. How can a young man think of such a big thing?" The messenger shook his head and did not want to reply.

"Li Shouxin was sent to Nanjing City to monitor Zuo Guangdou's faction. There are indeed few people around Brother Qi. You secret guards" Qin Erbao stared at the messenger for a long time and chuckled: "Although you can't be on the stage, you can do things secretly. good!"

Regarding Qin Erbao's Noyu, the messenger standing in the audience did not reply.

"Go and reply to Li Qingsong. The army will arrive at the gates of Beijing early tomorrow morning, and everything will be settled by then! All the gossip will disappear!!"

"The little ones will bring the adults' replies!"

After a while, the secret guard left. Behind the tent, Qin Erbao lowered his head in deep thought.

"Come here, pass all the guerrillas and above to the tent!"

Boom boom boom! ! !
  After beating drums for three rounds, all the guerrilla and above generals were present in Qin Erbao's tent.

"Most of you have fought all the way from Guangning City. From soldiers who led horses and polished boots, to guards wearing armor and holding swords," Qin Erbao looked at the generals in the tent. When he spoke, because of years of war, And the scar remaining on the face keeps squirming, which makes people's hearts tremble: "You must also know whose favor and guidance you have received to grow to this point, right?"

"We followed the Duke of Qi from Guangning City and fought all the way from Horqin to Shenyang City," the first-ranked general under Qin Erbao said loudly: "Without the Duke of Qi, there would be no Liaodong today, let alone today's Liaodong. Han! Even if the Duke of Qi declares his accession to the throne today, I am willing to lead his horse and hold the whip, and stay outside the tent for him, thinking he is loyal!"    "It is not your turn to lead the horse and hold the whip, Han Jiuchong. It is even more important for him to stay as a palace guard. Let me, Zhao Wu, get up." Han Jiuzhong, facing the 19-foot tall man, sneered. With a slight movement, his whole body was covered with muscles: "When we were still in Zhucheng, Zhao was the guard outside Qi Geer's courtyard. Now if we need , Zhao also took off his sword and held a gun, guarding the Duke day and night!"

"Okay!!!" Seeing that his soldiers were about to quarrel, Qin Erbao knocked on the table: "I know that you are willing to shed your blood for the Duke of Qi. I know that you all followed the Duke of Qi from Zhucheng County to Liaodong, fighting bloody battles all the way. The real man who came out is a tough guy!"

"But, there is one thing that I need to explain to you clearly." Qin Erbao's tiger eyes swept across the people in the tent, and the intimidating aura made all the generals in the tent who had been on the battlefield for a long time and killed without any calculation become silent.

"The Duke of Qi's intention to march into Beijing this time is not to usurp the throne, nor to ascend the throne as emperor. He just wants to regain the power of the court and regent the country. This is the key. You must distinguish clearly!"

As soon as Qin Erbao finished speaking, the entire tent was filled with sounds of surprise and dissatisfaction.

"Brother Qi is not ready to ascend the throne?"

"But there are treacherous ministers blocking it? Which treacherous family is it? We will rush into the capital immediately and kill all those who oppose Brother Qi's ascension to the throne and remove the obstacles for the emperor's ascension!"

"Is it because we are afraid that the opposition force will be too strong? With one hundred thousand cavalry in Liaodong, as long as Duke Qi gives the order, we can go south and eliminate all obstacles!"

For a time, the quarrels and questions in the big tent made Qin Erbao's face full of black lines!

"Quiet!" With a bang, Qin Erbao slapped the table, which made the pen, ink, and teacups on the table jump.

"Don't say you can't figure it out, we haven't figured it out either?" Qin Erbao stood up and stared at everyone: "But no matter what, now the Duke's order clearly states that he will march into the capital and wipe out all the people. Defeat the enemy! Protect the New Deal!"

"At this juncture, whoever dares to delay retreat, don't blame our military law for being ruthless!"

If Wang Qi is like a god in the hearts of the generals in Liaodong, then Qin Erbao is the most powerful protector around this god. The generals are not afraid of Wang Qi because he is too far away, but they are indeed afraid of Qin Erbao. This officer will wait for him in the past Colleagues are as close as brothers. Once on the battlefield, they will kill people at every turn if they disobey orders!
  "I will obey your orders, general!" The generals made a loud promise.

"Go down and get ready. The army will set off tonight. I want to see the high walls of Beijing before You time tomorrow!"

After a while, the generals retreated one by one, leaving Qin Erbao pacing in the tent with his hands behind his back.

Because the Duke of Qi held a high position and now had the power in the court again, the generals became increasingly arrogant and their delusions gradually increased.

How many people are looking forward to the Duke of Qi day and night to usurp Zhu Ming and achieve the great treasure?

This kind of power of following the dragon can bring wealth and honor to the sky, and the princes and princes can have it at their fingertips! It's much better than being a general soldier in Liaodong now!
  Not to mention the generals, even Qin Erbao himself sometimes imagined that if the Duke of Qi really obtained the artifact, it would not be difficult to make him a king with a different surname.

"Alas!" At the end, Qin Erbao raised his head and sighed: At this point, even if Brother Qi doesn't want to, I'm afraid that one day, the old things in Chen Qiaoyi will happen again!
