Yunliu and Xi'er waited until dawn the next day, thinking that they could go out of Guancheng and return to Beijing to return to Yuniang, but they never thought that before they could walk out of the gate of the official post, Li Pin would visit again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Pin's face was full of anxiety, and after inviting the two of them to sit down in the back hall of the official post, he immediately took out a letter and said, "This is a letter sent by Lord Shen to Juyong Pass last night to request the transfer of troops and horses, and the two of you are on a mission to ask for instructions!" ”

Seeing this situation, Yun Liu couldn't help but be cautious, picked up the letter and looked at it, but it was not an official transfer warrant from the Ministry of War, but an order written by Shen Xi himself.

In the name of the governor of Yansui, Shen Xi asked Li Pin to transfer 2,000 troops to aid Tumubao, and at the same time carry a batch of weapons and war materials.

Shen Xi, as the governor of Yansui, did not have the authority to mobilize the troops and horses around Juyong Pass, but in the sequence of generals of the Northwest War arranged by the imperial court, the governor of the three sides was the number one, and it was no longer a matter of simply adjusting the three sides.

As for Liu Daxia's nominal deputy, he was not the governor of Xuanda, but the governor of Yansui. According to common sense, Liu Daxia was in charge of sending troops, while Shen Xi was in charge of grain, grass and logistics supplies, so Shen Xi was the second person to lead the northwest war.

Now Shen Xi and Liu Daxia are one in the east and the other in the west, and the two of them have their own soldiers and horses, and they can't echo each other, so they can already be regarded as fighting on their own.

Shen Xi mobilized the soldiers and horses of Juyongguan to help him as the governor of Yansui, and from Li Pin's point of view, he could have three choices.

The first choice is also the most conventional choice, that is, not to comply, because Shen Xi does not have the power to directly dispatch Juyongguan's troops and horses, and once something unpredictable happens after the transfer of troops, Li Pin will also bear some responsibility;

The second option is compliance.

After all, Shen Xi is a second-rank civil official in the DPRK, and he is also the "deputy marshal" of the Northwest War, and the "deputy marshal" transferred troops on the grounds that the Xuanfu was in danger, and he did not evacuate the Longqing guards, Shen Xi's move was reasonable, if Li Pin refused to accept it and something happened, then Li Pin still needed to be responsible;

The third option is the most secure but also the most cowardly, that is, to ask the imperial court, but it takes a few days to go back and forth, and it is very easy to miss the fighter, resulting in the overall collapse of the situation on the front line, but the advantage is that there is basically no responsibility.

From Li Pin's usual cautiousness, he prefers to choose the third option, that is, to ask the imperial court, but he can't make up his mind, sending the letter back to the capital will not only waste time in vain, but also make the court feel that he is stupid and incompetent, so he came to ask the envoy sent by Dongchang, anyway, in Li Pin's opinion, as long as someone can carry the black cauldron.

Yun Liu's expression was nervous after reading the warrant for the transfer of troops, because Shen Xi did not mention more details of the battle.

Why Shen Xi only transferred troops and did not explain the current situation clearly, not only Li Pin couldn't figure it out, but even Yun Liu couldn't figure it out, Yun Liu could only think that the battle situation in Xuanfu had deteriorated to a certain extent, so that Shen Xi felt that there was no need to say the specific situation, or Shen Xi himself was not clear, it turned out that the imperial court still didn't know anything about the changes that had happened in Xuanfu.

The real reason is that Shen Xi does not want to write, but Shen Xi is afraid that after writing the current situation, Li Pin will not be able to transfer troops to help, no matter who knows the current situation of the civil fort, he will not send troops to rescue, no matter how obvious it is, with the loss of Zhangjiakou Fort, the Xuanfu is about to be broken, and the civil fort has lost its previous strategic support role.

As long as Juyong Pass and Bauhinia Pass are stable, Tumu Fort can be completely abandoned.

Shen Xi believed that even if Zhu Youzhu learned about his situation, he would selectively ignore him.

Yun Liu was a little nervous: "Is General Li ready to follow Lord Shen's orders?" ”

Li Pin's face was full of embarrassment, he looked at Yunliu, then at Xi'er, and shook his head slightly: "It's better to go to the court as soon as possible to play this matter, Lord Shen has not explained the matter of Xuanfu in detail, if I rashly send troops to help, I am afraid that Juyongguan will be in trouble......"

Xi'er scolded in a low voice: "Greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

Although Xi'er's voice was very small, she couldn't hide things in her heart, and this was inevitably heard by Li Pin and Yunliu. Li Pin didn't bother with her, after all, this is a person from Dongchang, although Li Pin felt that these two men were a little girly, but he didn't think that they were actually women, just as they were eunuchs in the palace.

It's normal for a man to be sissy without that. Because of this, Li Pin didn't dare to offend Yunliu and Xi'er.

If it were a man with strong blood, Li Pin would not accept it so easily, mainly because Yunliu and Xi'er's maiden voice could not be disguised.

Yun Liu hurriedly took over the conversation: "General Li, Xuanfu may really have the main force of the Northern Kou attacking, if you can't send troops in time, Lord Shen's strategic deployment will be violated, can you afford this responsibility afterwards?" ”

Li Pin frowned: "But what if it's nothing......

Yun Liu said: "I don't know if this matter is made up, but I just believe in Lord Shen's personality." As the youngest champion of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Shen has become a major official of the Zhengerpin Frontier in just a few years, and now he is calling for wind and rain in the court, and His Majesty trusts him...... Dare to ask Lord Shen what reason he has to joke about his future and fate and tell lies? ”

"If General Li thinks that Lord Shen is trying to transfer troops to do wrong, then it is even more impossible, how old is Lord Shen? Dare to ask General Li, Lord Shen has reached the point where he can covet the authority of the court? ”

Originally, Li Pin wanted to say that Shen Xi was plotting against the hypothesis, but after hearing Yun Liu's analysis, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Yunliu analyzed the head to the head and explained some key points.

Shen Xi is now a red man in the DPRK, everyone knows that Shen Xi's promotion is the same as riding a rocket, and the Chinese courtiers may be full of jealousy and incomprehension, but the generals in the northwest are clear about what is going on, Shen Xiguang is in the Yuxi River for his combat exploits, in the eyes of many generals, he can be made a marquis, just because this is a Daming rather than a Han, and many things have to talk about seniority rather than merit.

However, Shen Xi's official promotion, in Li Pin's opinion, is not the result of the emperor's favor and treachery, but Li Pin admires Shen Xi's ability very much, and the possibility of Shen Xi's lying is not high.

As for saying that the purpose of Shen Xi's troop transfer is to plot misdeeds, it probably means that Shen Xi wants to rebel, and this assumption is even more absurd.

To say that Shen Xi's rapid promotion may breed ambition, Li Pin also believes it, but if Shen Xi wants to be the emperor, it is too unreliable, Shen Xi is a seventeen-year-old young man, no matter how ambitious he is, he is just a very human minister, and the people of the world who want to be the emperor do not obey him.

Li Pin had a thorough conversation with Shen Xi before, and even had the intention of taking refuge in Shen Xi and obeying the dispatch, but now that Shen Xi was in trouble and wanted to use the men and horses of Juyong Pass, Li Pin hesitated for a while. If it weren't for the order issued by Shen Xi, he wouldn't have hesitated at all, and he would just be done if he refused to obey.

Li Channel: "What do you mean by the two errands, and they will send troops to assist Lord Shen in the end?" ”

Yun Liu knew that she shouldn't say such things, because according to her identity, she could only investigate some intelligence, and she was not qualified to give instructions to the generals to transfer troops, and even staff officers and suggestions were a kind of arrogance. But in order to help Shen Xi, and at the same time to make himself acceptable to Shen Xi, Yun Liu nodded: "That's exactly what I mean!" ”

Li Pin was slightly relieved when he heard this.

Before, he thought about ignoring this matter and letting Shen Xi solve it himself, or asking the imperial court to give him a military order, after all, the decision was not on him.

But the problem is that now he really wants to help Shen Xi establish merit and get some light smoothly, and Yunliu and Xi'er, as envoys sent by Dongchang, also agree with this point of view, and he is much more confident.

Yun Liu saw that Li Pin didn't speak for a long time, and asked, "Has General Li made a decision?" ”

After Li Pin hesitated, he said: "The last general will send troops, there is no choice, after all, Lord Shen is the governor of Yansui, and the war ahead has changed, and it is necessary to temporarily recruit troops and horses, but ...... The last general did not have a suitable candidate to lead the troops, and it was not appropriate to send thousands of households to help! ”

Li Pin agreed to transfer troops, but he did not promise to transfer the men and horses of Long Qingwei under his command, he planned to combine the soldiers and horses transferred from Baiyangkou and Bohai into one thousand households, and then mobilize the personnel and horses of the inspection department from Changping, Huairou, Shunyi, etc., to make up enough two thousand and send them to Shenxi.

Even if he wants to confront Shen Xi, he can't ignore his own comfort, Li Pin also knows the importance of Juyong Pass in Gyeonggi's defense.

Yun Liu said: "General Li only needs to send people out of the fortress to reinforce Lord Shen, and the two of us will accompany the army, so we can do our part for sending troops!" ”

This is exactly what Li Pin has in mind.

If these two Dongchang "eunuchs" can be allowed to act as supervisors with the army, then it will be much more justified to send troops, and it can also prove to him that it was indeed Shen Xi who transferred troops first, and he had to act according to the order considering the overall situation, and it had nothing to do with him to go to Shen Xi if there was a problem. As for Shen Xi's victory and great achievements, he naturally has his share.

"The two of you are on a mission, you have to work, as for the letter you want to return to the capital, after it is written, the last general will send someone back to the imperial court!" Li Pin's face was full of happy smiles.
