Chapter 373: A Showdown

Huang Liji was not a fool and immediately noticed the problem.

The soldiers of the Warriors Camp said, "I don't know either. I just know that everyone stayed at night and suddenly shouted to kill him everywhere. The other party was obviously elite soldiers and powerful generals, with a large number of people. At that time, he was convenient outside the camp and hid in the bush. Then he took the opportunity to seize a horse from the chaos and escaped back, but... the other brothers..."

Huang Liji and Sun Chengzong looked at each other.

"Looking at their outfits, they look like bandits, but... they are clearly riding war horses... they are really war horses... and they are free to advance and retreat, not like bandits..."

Hearing this, a trace of sharpness flashed across Sun Chengzong's eyes and said coldly: "Where did the war horses come from the bandits? Even if some were lucky enough to seize some, they would still be far behind in an independent army. Are they really war horses?"

Horses are different from horses.

Most of the horses in the pass are just animal power for transportation, while real war horses need to be carefully fed, and the feed they use is more expensive than what people eat.

The soldier said confidently: "It's definitely a war horse, this is certain..."

After all, he is a member of the Warriors Camp and has some knowledge.

Huang Liji said on the side: "Mr. Sun, are you a bandit?"

Sun Chengzong said: "If it is a bandit, it will be better. I am afraid that things will be much more serious than we imagined, but... how could these people arrive here quietly? Logically speaking, if they want to pass through Northern Zhili, even if they detour the capital, they will have to pass through many prefectures and counties, but why didn't there be any signs before?"

Sun Chengzong murmured, and at this moment he seemed to have thought of a more terrifying possibility.

That is... this is by no means a simple action, there are many people involved in this matter.

Sun Chengzong took a breath and said, "I really mean Cao Cao is here, Your Majesty... I'm still too anxious after all."

Huang Liji was even more anxious than Sun Chengzong's expression: "What do you mean is that someone can't help it?"

Sun Chengzong sighed: "It is said that the emperor is noble, and everyone should rely on his breath. But the reason why the emperor is the common ruler of the world is because he protects the interests of many people. Once the emperor becomes a thorn in the eyes of some people and a thorn in the flesh, many things are hard to say. Since Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, which emperor has not been trembling in the palace, and is walking on thin ice? Your Majesty is still young after all, and it is too anxious."

Huang Taiji's face changed and he said anxiously: "So what does Mr. Sun plan to do?"

"What else can you do?" Sun Chengzong glared at him: "Of course, I will report to Your Majesty immediately and prepare for the response. What, what are you thinking about just now?"

Huang Liji said: "Nothing."

Sun Chengzong looked disbelief and then cursed: "Who do you think of me?"

Huang Liji said, "Okay, let's go and see you as soon as possible."

Soon, the tent was brightly lit and the Emperor of the Apocalypse gathered together.

I heard that the Warriors Camp was attacked, which was something Emperor Apocalypse never thought of.

He stood up and said angrily: "Is it a bandit?"

Sun Chengzong stood up: "Eighty-most not, like an official army."

When Emperor Tianqi suddenly became calm when he heard the word "Official Army" and Emperor Tianqi suddenly became calm: "Okay, it seems... it must be someone who wants to take my head. If I die, then many people will breathe a sigh of relief."

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to care about this. I think your Majesty should go south immediately, return to Fengqiu first, and then make a decision."

"It's too late." Emperor Tianqi gritted his teeth and said, "They are cavalrymen, and they are fighting horses. How many horses do I have? What's more,... the Warriors camp was camped ten miles away and was a vanguard. When they were attacked, these thieves would definitely come to me immediately. Do you think this short distance can still be escaped? Once you turn around and be chased by the cavalry, you will be doomed."

Emperor Tianqi sat down, squinted his eyes, as if thinking about something, and then a sentence popped out from his teeth and said, "Shanhaiguan, who is the general stationed now?"

Sun Chengzong suddenly widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows and said, "What, does Your Majesty suspect it is Shanhaiguan?"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong with deep eyes and said, "What do you think?"

Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty suspects it is Li Ruzhen..."

Sun Chengzong was very familiar with the affairs of Liaodong. He pondered and said, "This Li Ruzhen is Li Chengliang's third son... The court originally used it as a general, and wanted to use the reputation of the Li family in Liaodong to defend the Liaodong front line, so he was allowed to defend Chenyang. When the Jiannu attacked Tieling, he had troops but refused to send reinforcements to Tieling. He hid in the city and did not leave, which led to the fall of Tieling, so he was dismissed from office and was dismissed from office. However, later, the ministers suggested that he avoid death because of his father's merits. After that... someone wrote letters again and again, and His Majesty agreed to re-appoint this person, but he was already worried about him, so he was allowed to stay in Shanhaiguan."

Li Ruzhen's father Li Chengliang was a very important figure in the late Ming Dynasty. He had been in charge of Liaodong for decades, and countless generals from Liaodong came from his disciples.

When the Ming Dynasty first came to him, he also made a contribution to the Jiannu people plowing the courtyard and sweeping the cave.

Of course, some people say that Nurhaci's rise is indeed due to Li Chengliang to some extent.

At that time, Li Chengliang wiped out many Jurchen tribes, but gave these land and population to Nurhaci, laying a solid foundation for Nurhaci to unify the entire Jurchen tribe.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the famous Li Chengliang had an unparalleled reputation in Liaodong, and almost any Liaodong general had received his favor and promotion.

And his sons were also appointed as generals because of Li Chengliang.

Even Li Ruzhen, Li Chengliang's third son, is no exception.

Now that Li Chengliang is dead, Li Ruzhen was appointed as general early on, but was convicted for fear of fighting. But in the end... there were too many people talking to Li Ruzhen, and Emperor Tianqi had to re-activate him.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong deeply and said, "If it was indeed Li Ruzhen, then it would be troublesome. Now that he is stationed in Shanhaiguan, it is a Guanning army!"

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong also looked solemn.

The Guanning Army was the product of the Liao people defending Liao territory. It was one of the three elite troops in the border town. Most of them were cavalry units, and they were considered one of the few elite troops in the Ming Dynasty.

Such an elite soldier is well-known in Liaodong, and the imperial court has spent countless efforts to raise this army and horse.

only……

Although the Guanning Army was good, most of the elite troops in these border towns were arrogant. Because the court owed wages, most of them were dissatisfied with the court.

As long as the general who led the troops gave the order, these people could do anything.
