Crescent Pass is such a special and closed place, even if the imperial court wants to intervene, it will be difficult, and the only person in the government and the public who can put their hands in is Zhao Xuanji.
Li Chen originally thought that with the Wu brothers over, the hidden dangers of Crescent Pass could be solved at once.
But I didn't expect that Zhao Xuanji, the old fox, hid so deeply that he even had a hand behind him.
Not only did Li Chen not expect this scene, even Emperor Daxing probably didn't expect it.
Zhao Xuanji led the Liao army into the pass. In the most serious situation, the Qin Empire was likely to face the crisis of overthrow.
Even if it is the lightest, it is the beginning of a large-scale war between the two countries. The Liao army has invested 600,000 troops. This is often a war with more than one million participants!
It's just a waste of money and people. The main reason is that the current Qin Dynasty simply cannot afford to fight such a war.
Seeing that Li Chen's anger had not subsided, Su Zhenting immediately said: "Your Highness, the most important thing now is to find out the specific situation of Crescent Pass. In addition, reinforcements must be arranged immediately."
"The one closest to Crescent Pass...is Prince Ning."
"Immediately send a letter to King Ning, requesting him to fully support the Crescent Pass. No matter what, we must hold back the Liao cavalry first, and they must not be allowed to enter the pass at this time."
Li Chen gave the order decisively, and then said: "But we can't place all our hopes on King Ning. How many troops and horses are available in Gansu and Shaanxi?"
Su Zhenting showed excellent military qualities. He said almost without thinking: "Gansu and Shaanxi are supposed to be our major military garrison towns in Da Qin. The garrison can mobilize more than 150,000 troops and horses at any time, and there is also a two-man army."
A light cavalry army of around 10,000 people can be mobilized."
Li Chen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Send a letter to the Governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, asking him to cooperate with Prince Ning to rescue the Crescent Pass. In short, give money and people to others to ensure that Crescent Pass is not lost."
"What if Prince Ning doesn't cooperate?" Su Zhenting asked a key question.
Li Chen's two arrangements were based on Prince Ning's cooperation.
However, Prince Ning, who relied on his own troops and never took the imperial court seriously, might not pay attention to the imperial court.
Li Chen's eyes darkened and he said: "Let the Liaodong Army set off immediately and march quickly to Crescent Pass."
Su Zhenting was shocked and said: "But Hu Shifan, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army..."
"Let your son go!"
Li Chen increased his tone and said: "I know you are confused, why did you leave the troops around Gansu and Shaanxi unused, but instead transferred all the way to the Liaodong Army near the Gyeonggi area? I have great use, and Su Pingbei has
He has experience in the First World War between Korea and North Korea, and most of the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong Army have also fought with him. Since Hu Shifan cannot move, he is the most suitable candidate."
Regardless of whether this arrangement is appropriate or not, Li Chen has responded one after another in the shortest possible time. This alone gives people the most basic sense of security.
Su Zhenting cupped his hands and clasped his fists, saying: "My lord, let's make arrangements now."
"Go ahead."
Li Chen waved his hand and said to Su Zhenting: "General Su, this battle is related to the fate of the country."
Su Zhenting nodded solemnly, turned around and left immediately.
As soon as Su Zhenting left, Li Chen turned to Chen Tong and said, "Is the Prince of Jin still in the capital?"
"exist."
Chen Tong nodded and said, "They never left."
"Let's go to the post house." Li Chen ordered decisively.
Chen Tong was startled and said: "Your Highness, at this time of crisis, why not humble yourself and invite the prince of Jin?"
"When will it be your turn to be the master of this palace? I will go there myself!" Li Chen glared.
