When Xiong Tingbi arrived in Wuqing County, it was the evening of April 22.

"Yesterday, Qi Guogong has already entered Beijing lightly?"

Hearing this news, Xiong Tingbi, who was a messenger, almost fell off his horse.

"Why not with the big army? Xiong came by order, and now that the Duke of Qi is not here, you need to give Xiong an explanation and give an explanation to the court! Xiong Tingbi's voice rose a few degrees, obviously dizzy, and he was riding on a horse and pointed at a few Qi princes with a whip in his hand to explain.

"Lord Xiong, the lower official is on the order of the Duke of Qi Guo, waiting for Lord Qincha here, as for Lord Qincha, you are here to go or stay, listen to the respect, if you go, I can give you a gratuity, in order to comfort you for the fatigue of the journey, if you stay, the roast duck in Wuqing County is a must, at the dinner, you can taste it!"

Wang Qi's few relatives who stayed here, the lowest official position is also a town and a thousand households, and in the face of the three products, Xiong Tingbi, who was ordered to be sent to Qin, did not show any cowardice.

"Hey, hey." Xiong Tingbi squinted his eyes and looked at a few generals, and sneered: "You guys are calm, if something happens to the Duke of Qi in the capital, I'm afraid you won't be able to whip it!" ”

"The lower officials don't understand the two of them, at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, what is the matter?" He bowed his hand and replied with a smile: "Lord Xiong, can you have time to go into the city?" ”

"I got it!" Xiong Tingbi rejected the proposal to enter the city, raised his eyes and looked at the plaque at the head of the city in Wuqing County not far away, then turned the horse's head, raised the horse's whip, and walked away with his honor guard.

In the shouting and cheering, only the puffs of smoke and dust behind him were left.

"Send a letter to the capital immediately and inform Grandpa Guo."

As soon as Xiong Tingbi left, at the gate of Wuqing County, the entourage left by Wang Qi also began to act.

April 24, Liaodong, Shanhaiguan.

Qin Erbao has led more than 50,000 soldiers and horses to the south, and has arrived at Shanhaiguan today.

"Shang Baolong, the chief soldier of Xiaguan Mountain and Haidao, paid a visit to Lord Qin and welcomed your visit to Shanhaiguan for inspection!" Shang Baolong, the general of Shanhaidao, took his subordinates out of Yingshan Customs and bowed deeply to Qin Erbao on his horse.

Generally speaking, in the imperial court official system, Shanhaiguan is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Jiliao, and because the governor of Liaodong has direct authority over Liaodong, Shanhaiguan is also under the jurisdiction of the governor of Liaodong.

In terms of the military general system of the imperial court, Qin Erbao, as the general soldier of Liaodong, is only half a level higher than the general of Shanhaidao

Therefore, whether it is from the perspective of civilian officials or generals, Qin Erbao, the general soldier of Liaodong, has no command over Shang Baolong, the general of Shanhaidao

But the reality is that once the war in Liaodong starts and Wang Qi is not there, everyone will be controlled by Qin Erbao!

Even if it is the governor of Jiliao or the governor of Liaodong, they have to stand aside.

No exceptions!

Therefore, although he had some doubts about Qin Erbao's behavior of leading the army to Linshanhaiguan, Shang Baolong had no doubts, and even felt that it was unnecessary to go to the Jizhou Mansion to consult.

The dignified Liaodong General Army, the henchman of Qi Guogong, led the troops to move to the defense and inspection, what is there to doubt and verify?

With Shang Baolong's order, the gate of Shanhaiguan slowly opened.

Qin Erbao was dressed in dark armor and gently waved his horsewhip: "Enter the city!" ”

With Qin Erbao's order issued, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry began to slowly enter Shanhaiguan.

"My lord, the lower official asked people to prepare a banquet, and later, please enjoy it!" Shang Baolong always did not forget to seize the opportunity to cling to Shangguan.

After all, in three years, he was promoted from a small Tianjin Wei Zuowei Baihu official to the general of the Shanhaiguan garrison, and Shang Baolong greeted Qu Yi and ushered in it, which was a perfect fire - not everyone has Wang Qi's thighs to hug.

"Official business, no need," Qin Erbao was right away, and glanced down at Shang Baolong: "Garrison for a few days, I'll leave later." ”

"The little one obeys." Shang Baolong bowed and nodded, standing in place and respectfully escorting Qin Erbao into the prepared mansion.

After Qin Erbao was settled, Shang Baolong straightened up and did not leave for a long time.

"Your Excellency." Behind Shang Baolong, there was Qi Fen, the deputy general of the Shanhaiguan garrison: "This is good, 50,000 horses suddenly moved to Shanhaiguan, there is neither a court document nor an order from the military department, and there is no war in the frontier. Why? Do you want to go to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion to check? ”

"There's no need for that, is it?" Shang Baolong looked at his subordinates dissatisfied: "The imperial court has its own precedent, and it is customary for military defense to be stationed, so why bother the governor?" Besides, this matter is known to Qi Guogong, so what should I think? Doesn't it make it difficult for the official to do it? ”

Qi Fen frowned, but still insisted: "My lord, I heard that now is the critical moment for the Duke of Qi and the emperor to fight the law. At this time, the confidant general of Qi Guogong led his troops down the mountain customs to make outsiders look like it, wouldn't it have the intention of coercing Gyeonggi? ”

Hiss!!!

was opened by Qi Fen at this point, Shang Baolong's body trembled: "This is not the end of it, right?" ”

The dignified Duke of Qi Guo, the first man who made the first contribution to the destruction of Jiannu, how could he face each other with the imperial court?

"My lord, send a letter to the Governor, it's always safe, isn't it?" Qi Fen whispered.

"Well," Shang Baolong nodded: "Go ahead and do it, don't leak the news!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

It was night, just after the hour, the sky was cloudless, and the night was dark and windy.

The south gate of Shanhaiguan City was quietly opened, and three cavalrymen in strong armor led the horses, quietly and silently out of the city, and after a few steps, they rode their horses directly and galloped towards the southwest Jizhou Mansion.

After a few breaths, more than ten cavalrymen who had been ambushed on the side of the road also led their horses out of the forest, divided into three teams, and left with the previous three.

Bang Bang Bang !!

At the end of the ugly hour, the clouds gathered.

Qin Erbao was in the study, reading silently.

And not far from his desk, there are thousands of brocade clothes who have newly arrived in Shenyang City a few days ago.

"General Qin, you said to go back to Beijing with me." Jinyi Qianhu showed bitterness: "This entourage is more than 100, or even more than 1,000, and the lower officials have all recognized it, but there are more than 50,000 people, what is the reason?" ”

"What? At that time, you didn't say that you couldn't lead troops," Qin Erbao put down the book and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of people's gossip, then the official will stay here, and when the documents of the imperial court arrive, the rest will be said!" ”

"As long as General Shanhaiguan sends a letter to the Governor of Jiliao, the court will immediately know about you leading your troops to the south without authorization" Jinyi Qianhu shook his head: "The world's Kyushu is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and you can't fight!" ”

Qin Erbao raised his head, and just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the door.

"My lord, the three soldiers who went out of the city to deliver the letter have been taken down without the warrant of the adult, and the entire Shanhaiguan is already impregnable, and no one can leave!"

"Senho-sama?" Qin Erbao chuckled lightly and looked at the Jinyi Qianhu: "How?" ”
