Liu Qu has been living a good life recently, and the imperial court ordered him to guard the Shanhaiguan, and he can be regarded as having completed the task excellently.

Want to go to Liaodong to serve the country in the army? No problem, want to send supplies to Liaodong? That's even more of a problem, anyway, Liaodong will have a large sum of silver every month, and corruption is not as fast as the money.

What did you say? Cut off the lifeblood of Liaodong? You can do it, you can do it! Don't just talk about not practicing, such a vicious Jurchen Tartar and Mongolian Tartar have to be honest in front of Ye Gonggong, you let me offend him? I want to live a few more years!

This is what Liu Qu thinks now, anyway, no matter how strictly the imperial court orders to cut off the passage to Liaodong, he is listening to this ear, and the ear is rising, what to do, and what to do.

According to the first arrangement, Shanhaiguan should have 10,000 troops stationed, and at the beginning, Liu Qu was really afraid that Ye Xun would rebel, so he scraped together enough 10,000 troops.

But as the relationship between him and Liaodong becomes more and more harmonious, it is a bit inappropriate for so many people to stay in Shanhaiguan, firstly, he can't live with the silver given by Ye Xun, and secondly, with so many people and horses, how can he still eat empty salary?

Therefore, although there are still 10,000 troops in the report to the military department, the actual number of soldiers is only more than 3,000.

This is the fine tradition of the generals of the Ming Army, and the military department does not know it, but if it knows, it cannot do anything to these generals.

That night, as soon as Liu Qu's small wine cup was put down, a guard walked quickly outside the door.

"Lao Tzu is going to rest, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow"

"General Yu, it's someone from Liaodong, saying that he has an urgent matter to see, and I'm afraid it's too late."

People from Liaodong?

Liu Qu's brows furrowed, it seems that this month's silver has just been delivered! Why is it here again?

Although he was not very happy to rest, since he was from Liaodong, he couldn't be gone, so he put on a piece of clothing, and then ordered the guards to bring the person in.

There were two people who came in, except for a stranger in his thirties, and Fu Yuan, Liu Qu's number one staff.

"Huh! Old man, it's so late, why are you here too? ”

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

Fu Yuan's expression was very serious, and he hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates are here to save the general, time is pressing, please make a decision as soon as possible."

The more Liu Qu listened, the more confused he became, what is this! When was Lao Tzu's life in danger?

Fu Yuan turned his head and nodded to the stranger, and the stranger stepped forward and said, "General Liu, the villain was ordered by my father-in-law to tell General Liu that the 30,000 Liaodong Army will arrive at Shanhaiguan tomorrow morning, how General Liu chooses, and ask General Liu to make a decision as soon as possible."

"What did you say?"

Liu Qu almost bounced up from his seat, looked at the stranger in disbelief, and after the stranger recounted again, his body sat back uncontrollably.

He kept muttering, "How can this be? Does Ye Gonggong really want to rebel? ...”

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

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

Liu Qu is completely stupid, he knows very well that Ye Xun's subordinates are polite, but if he doesn't agree, 30,000 iron cavalry will set foot in Shanhaiguan in an instant, and his subordinates are okay to bully and bully the common people, against the Liaodong iron cavalry who even the Jurchen Tartars have to retreat?

Thinking about this consequence, Liu Qu shook his head tightly, but as this stranger said, if he just let the Liaodong Army go over, the court would definitely investigate it afterwards.

With the hatred of the emperor and courtiers for Ye Xun, he is undoubtedly the most suitable scapegoat, the killing is light, and the most likely end is to raid the family and exterminate the family.

Before I knew it, beads of sweat rolled down my cheeks.

The strangers didn't force him, but they still glanced at Fu Yuan quietly.

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 to be bought, but to take refuge sincerely, because his home was in Shenyang.

"General, Gonggong Ye has two conditions for you, one is to go to Jiangnan incognito, if the general is willing to agree, Gonggong Ye will also give a sum of silver, and the other condition is to join the Liaodong Army, but the general's previous style is afraid that it will not work in the Liaodong Army."

After listening to Fu Yuan's words, Liu Qu's head finally reacted, looked at Fu Yuan and smiled bitterly: "Gonggong Ye is really not thin on me!" Looks like I'm really running out of options, okay! Please tell Grandpa Ye that I am willing to go to Jiangnan."

Fu Yuan stretched out his thumb and praised: "General Liu is wise, then first wronged the general and wait for another day, and after our army has passed the customs, then send someone to send the general away."

At this point, Fu Yuan had no need to pretend anymore.

Looking at Fu Yuan's energetic appearance, Liu Qu was a little suspicious, what kind of magic power did Ye Xun have that could make the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong, and even his own staff, so loyal to him?

Of course, Fu Yuan was not the only Liaodong spy hidden in Shanhaiguan, and after Liu Qu handed over the military talisman seal letter, the entire Guancheng suddenly moved.

The official road leading to the direction of the capital was completely sealed to prevent the news from leaking in advance, and all the soldiers standing guard everywhere were replaced by soldiers led by Liaodong secret agents, and the city gate was opened as soon as the Liaodong army arrived.

When Fu Yuan issued the order, he didn't carry Liu Qu behind his back, and it wasn't until this moment that Liu Qu understood that he had already been set aside by his subordinates, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in the choice just now, if he still wanted to be loyal to the imperial court, it was estimated that this would have been killed.

As soon as the sky was dark, the ground suddenly shook, and experienced soldiers knew that this effect would only occur when a large group of cavalry galloped.

Standing on the wall and looking into the distance, I saw a fiery red suddenly appear on the horizon, moving rapidly in this direction.

The Ming army is still red, and 30,000 iron horsemen gather together to gallop, it is really like a red wave, and the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas is indomitable, as if it can overwhelm everything, and it is exciting to see people's hearts.

Fortunately, this is his own side, otherwise the soldiers on the wall will abandon the gate and flee, who can resist such an army?

The army was still some distance away, and the Ming soldiers on the wall couldn't help but cheer.

Liu Qu also came to the city wall, looking at the galloping Liaodong Iron Cavalry, he suddenly regretted a little, why didn't he choose to join the Liaodong Army?

Ye Xun is a eunuch, there will always be someone who will inherit all this in the future, although he is not a handsome talent, but if he wants to find a foothold in the Liaodong Army, it should still be possible, right?

In Liu Qu's cranky thoughts, the army had already arrived at the city, and the city gate had already been opened, so the army did not stop at all, and after slowing down, Yuguan entered the city gate, and then under the guidance of the knights in the city, he rushed out from the other side of the city gate.

The 30,000 army was going to join Ye Xun in Yongping, so Ye Xun set a strict marching time for them.

As soon as they got out of Shanhaiguan, the army formed again, and then rushed towards the direction of Daming Capital like a flood that had discharged the sluice...
