Chapter 1672: Discover the enemy
Li Dongyang's chat with intimidation was of course effective for Liu Jin. Liu Jin was obviously guilty. He could not imagine what terrible consequences would be if he really encountered a Tatar attack on the way.
He castrated himself as a eunuch, and he came for food and clothing without worries. Could it be that he would still ask him to go to marches and fight and take this risk?
At that time, there was an old senior from the eunuch world named Wang Zhen, who died here. Liu Jin thought that it was not easy for him to struggle for so many years. Now his status in the eunuch world is not low. His life is still quite valuable, and there is really no need to take risks.
Moreover, from this point of view, he is indeed bound to die. In fact, it may not be Li Dongyang's so-called divination that made him believe it. In fact, the actual situation does not allow people to have too beautiful fantasies. Think about the new army, which is only 7,000 or 8,000, if it encounters enemy situations in the wilderness, Liu Jin will feel that it is unreliable.
Liu Jin was not stupid. He neither wanted to offend Ye Chunqiu nor wanted to die, so he only chose such a compromise method in the end.
After hearing Liu Jin's words, Li Dongyang looked at him contemptuously and said, "Okay, I said my husband, what you said is nothing more than just making excuses for yourself. If you don't want to say it, I'll just say it."
Even though Li Dongyang said this, Liu Jin was still very uneasy, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that his life was too expensive, so he did not object.
Li Dongyang was not anxious. In fact, he knew very well that Liu Jin was greedy for life and fear of death, so he was not afraid of not taking the bait. However, it was difficult for a person to escape, so he had to have Liu Jin for his retreat, so Liu Jin arranged to go back to Qinglong.
For Li Dongyang, Qinglong is too annoying. As long as the new army is defeated, Ye Chunqiu will probably not be able to survive. At that time, it doesn’t matter how to arrange it. It’s impossible for the dead to defend himself.
Ye Chunqiu's defeat would definitely cause countless curses. After all, this was the result of his willful deeds. When the Tatars killed Qinglong, he would enter the pass by himself, but he ignored this Qinglong. In his opinion, these Qinglong people were no longer different from Diyi.
It would be better to just let the Tatars kill them.
People have their own ambitions, and this trip to the Green Dragon allowed Li Dongyang to see the most terrifying side of life. The greed of human nature was placed in front of him, bleeding profusely. Now he misses the inner gate very much.
The army continued to move forward, and Ye Chunqiu seemed to have not noticed much.
As soon as the barracks were built, Ye Chunqiu opened the map immediately. It seemed that he could never see enough of the terrain in the map. He looked at it over and over again, as if he had something to do, always thinking.
Now, the military and horses have completely left the scope of Zhenyuan Kingdom, and are in a state where there is no village in front and no shop in the back. From the perspective of military strategists, this section of road is called a dead land. Because there is almost no danger here except for the unobstructed wilderness, so you must quickly cross this area within ten days before you have the hope of reaching Jinzhou. Of course, even when you arrive in Jinzhou, there are unknown risks, because there are too many Tatar troops there, and they are all out, so it is impossible to let the new army enter the city easily.
On this day, early in the morning, Ye Chunqiu issued an order to march quickly, but Tang Bohu hurried over and said, "Master, it's not good, it's not good."
Ye Chunqiu said: "What's the matter?"
Tang Bohu said: "Liu Jin and Li Dongyang, together with dozens of imperial guards who came out of the customs, escaped together, and took dozens of horses away. Master, should you send someone to chase them back?"
"Leave?" Ye Chunqiu raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "Let's go, go, I can't count on them anyway."
Tang Bohu seemed a little anxious, saying, "Students may cause the morale of the army to shake."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile: "But this is a new army, but a few clowns left. The new army has been tempered for a long time. If it is shaken like this, will it still be called a new army? They are just irrelevant people, it's okay, don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, are you... worried too?"
Ye Chunqiu really said that Tang Bohu was thinking. Tang Bohu sighed and said, "Hey, how can you not worry? Although the students are not good at military affairs, they also know that the master is taking a risk. The risk here is too great. Naturally, the students will not leave. Wherever the master goes, the students will dare to go. Anyway, Qiuxiang has a son in her belly. The Tang family finally has a later life, and they will die. Eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king."
Ye Chunqiu refused to comment, but the corners of his lips that had just been pursed slightly. At this time, Wang Shouren also hurried over and said, "Mr., you have discovered the enemy situation. A large number of Tatar scouts appeared nearby, and they were walking all the way."
Tang Bohu was anxious again, and even his face looked bad.
He was discovered? But the current situation is hard to say. The new army has entered a dead place. If a large number of Tatars appear, it will be too late to withdraw the Qinglong. There is no one in this desert, and there seems to be no other way except to keep moving forward with the bullet.
"Oh, I know." Ye Chunqiu was still calm and said immediately: "I'll go 80 miles today, and I'll go faster."
……………………
An urgent report was quickly spread to the capital.
Immediately afterwards, almost all newspapers in the capital were printed. On that day, countless newspaper boys shouted hysterically: "The latest news is that Your Majesty personally led the army to Qinglong to help Jinzhou. Jinzhou was in an emergency, and 200,000 Tatar cavalry..."
The entire capital suddenly became boiling again.
Because even though the imperial commander personally was in the army, His Majesty had already set out first, but the continuous army was not ready yet. According to the rules of the imperial commander personally, hundreds of thousands of troops would come out of the pass and meet Qinglong.
But now, His Majesty takes the new army first... but he is going to Jinzhou... to Jinzhou.
The civil and military officials in the court were already like losing their parents. They were doing evil, and this was definitely a sin. There were elite Tatars in Jinzhou. There were only a few thousand new troops who dared to run there? This... it was clearly a death, a death.
The more you think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
Could it be scary?
It’s not scary that there are ghosts.
In the Tumu Fort Incident, hundreds of thousands of troops of the court also made the Tatars make dumplings, but that was still Tumu Fort, but there were still hundreds of thousands of troops. Now there are only a few thousand troops. What is the difference between this and the death of the people?
The cabinet has been in chaos and the ministries are in chaos.
