He ordered people to move the chairs. After Li Chen asked Su Zhenting and Hu Shifan to sit down, he said, "General Hu, do you know everything about the current situation in the DPRK and China?"
This is straight to the point.
Hu Shifan was shocked and replied in a deep voice: "The general has been at the border for a long time and is not sensitive to the situation between North Korea and China. However, General Su has already analyzed the pros and cons with the general before, and the general also knows that the current situation is extremely dangerous."
"Therefore, the last general would like to promise to Your Highness on behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers in Liaodong that the Liaodong army is ready and only His Highness's orders will be obeyed."
Li Chen glanced at Su Zhenting and gave his father-in-law a like.
Obviously, Su Zhenting has done all the preliminary work, and Li Chen can just pick up the ready-made ones now.
At this time, Su Zhenting said to Li Chen: "According to the previous instructions of His Highness, the 40,000 elite troops of the Liaodong Army have already marched quickly towards the Gyeonggi area, outflanking them in two ways, and blocking the roads from Dongshan Province and Nanhe Province to Beijing. If necessary, they can be deployed in one day.
Within, there will be at least 20,000 elites who can enter the capital and be used by His Highness."
Li Chen asked Wan Jiaojiao to get a military map, and after spreading it out, Hu Shifan personally came over and marked the location and trajectory of the 40,000 Liaodong elite on the map for Li Chen at this time.
Li Chen took a look and found that the Liaodong Army had arrived at the outskirts of the Gyeonggi region, but it would still take some time to complete the entire defense of the Gyeonggi region.
"The rapid march of the 40,000-strong army can hardly be concealed. If anyone with an intention finds out, I am afraid it will cause trouble."
Hu Shifan cupped his hands and said, "Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to tell you what the general should do if he is blocked by local officials and troops."
"I will give you the handwriting and the tiger talisman for troop deployment. In this way, any action of the Liaodong Army will be approved by me. If there is still another obstacle, I will break through."
Li Chen said indifferently: "Forty thousand elites are trying to break through, and no one dares to stop them."
Next to him, Su Zhenting frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, it's inappropriate to be so afraid."
Su Zhenting rarely objected to Li Chen's words, not to mention this was in front of Hu Shifan, so Li Chen realized that Su Zhenting might have a big problem, so he asked: "What does General Su think?"
Su Zhenting leaned into Li Chen's ear and whispered: "Don't set a precedent."
Just five words made Li Chen narrow his eyes.
Since ancient times, military mobilization has been a taboo.
According to the laws of the Great Qin Empire, the local garrison and garrison required a formal official order to mobilize more than fifty people at a time. The military commander issued it and approved it at all levels before reviewing it. The transfer of more than 300 people required a report to the court and notification.
All information such as the purpose, route, and number of troops to be mobilized must be approved by the Ministry of War and filed before action can be taken.
As for a thousand people going up, no department has the authority to issue orders, only the emperor can.
This law is an iron law. If you touch it, you will die. There is no mercy at all.
And this is for the local guards. If it is the mobilization of a field army like the Liaodong Army, it will be even more stringent.
Without the emperor's order, if Hu Shifan dared to send a single soldier out of Liaodong territory, he would be guilty of conspiracy and be beheaded.
Although the current situation is special, Li Chen has transferred the Liaodong Army out of the defense area. However, when the army marches, it can be urgent and expedient, but it must not be an example of forcing a pass. Otherwise, if there is a precedent, the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire will be able to do so in the future.
