As the capital city, Jinguan City is not particularly large and the city is not very high compared to Chang'an City back then. However, as the capital of Sichuan Province, it has been expanded and strengthened again in the hands of the Meng family in recent years. No matter which city gate it is in the capital, they all look majestic.
Moreover, the four gates of Chang-zhi-Jiu-an echo the four directions of southeast, northwest, and are almost perfectly integrated with the complex terrain of central Sichuan.
Because Emperor Meng Chang wanted to march to the north, Jinguan City now has fortifications all year round outside the city, and formal imperial troops are stationed there. However, because of the last attack on the imperial city, the number of imperial troops fortified outside the city has been reduced a lot, but each battalion is restrained very well.
The imperial army in Jinguan City is not a vegetarian. Although it has not fought for many years, as a force that protects the capital, it is naturally considered the most elite in Shu. Although the seventeenth general of the Forbidden Army died inexplicably last time, causing an uproar among the Forbidden Army, the sixteen generals who were subsequently promoted gradually stabilized the morale of the army.
No matter where the power comes from now, if you want to easily break through the capital, you will inevitably suffer a powerful attack from the Forbidden Army.
Especially after the Banjing Cult once again took control of Jinguan City, they took advantage of the power of the emperor to control the princes, and assigned the sixteen generals who had been promoted in the imperial army to each sect and sent two additional generals to guard it.
As the emergency operations headquarters of the Lingnan Han in central Sichuan, and as the leader of the secret party headquarters in Yizhou, Qu Qubing thought all of this thoroughly. So he stayed in the imperial city to control the inner palace, and he had Meng Xuanzhe in his hands. He was not afraid of rumors at all.
He also believes that the dynasty is the top priority. Only the people outside do not know it, and only the world does not know it. If his people are evenly distributed, he will naturally control the entire Shu. Nowadays, Qu Qubing, the main responsible person for those above the rank of captain of the Forbidden Army, has almost been arranged, so he will not be too worried about the unrest among the soldiers.
Of course, the most important reason why Qu Qubing did not dare to leave at this time was that he had received information from Lingnan, which made him somewhat cautious. Although the Mean Sect is gaining momentum, there are still several large sects in Shu, represented by Hell Gate.
As a general who was highly praised by Emperor Liu Jixing this time, Qu Qubing's loyalty to the court and Liu Jixing was almost unquestionable. Coupled with his own ambitions, he naturally doesn't want his achievements here to be in vain!
Of course, what many people don't know is that many of the people who came to Shu came from different forces around Liu Jixing. Although they all wanted to contribute to the emperor's service, they still had their own selfish motives. Therefore, as a member of the secret party, Qu Qubing knew that he could not be arbitrary in anything!
Therefore, even if Yin Lihua, who is the official leader of the cult, comes to Jinguan City, she always hides in the palace. Firstly, it is more conducive to protecting Yin Lihua, and secondly, it also increases the mystery of the leader among the congregation.
But Qu Qubing also understood in his heart that after Yin Lihua came to Yizhou, she still had no real right to exert herself. On the surface, she willingly and voluntarily gave up her power to the protector and altar master, but everyone involved knew that this was Yin Lihua who had no way of taking action.
This made Qu Qubing feel that he was under greater pressure, because if the people in Prince Xing's Mansion knew about it and sent him to Shu, all the benefits would go to the Qu family, then the Qu family would naturally be in danger in Prince Xing's Mansion.
From the time when the Qu family was filled with princes and princes, to now it only has one house and one prince. Qu Qubing knew that he could not bear this responsibility. For normal people, when getting benefits, they have to leave some soup for others, not to mention that they are not the main talker here.
If he also followed his family's interests and controlled Jinguan City based on his own ideas, Qu Qubing was afraid that the children of these families would be in danger in Lingnan and Prince Xing's Mansion. He is no longer an impulsive young man, so he naturally has more considerations when doing things and dealing with problems.
The greatest safety for the people of Prince Xing's Mansion is that the elites of the family must be loyal to the emperor. This is what Qu Ju said in the family. Although it seems a bit arbitrary, everyone understands that it is the truth.
If families like Prince Xing's Mansion knew that the Qu family was becoming more and more powerful, and even had a strong foundation in a sphere of influence in the Central Plains, then it would be the same as praising and killing the Qu family.
"I'm afraid it's going to be a bit troublesome to suppress them all now!" Xiao Yan, the man who had been standing opposite, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke calmly. His sharp and wise eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
Everyone is still here, but the information from Jinguan City is being sent to Qu Qubing in a steady stream. Tonight Qu Qubing handed over the palace to Yang Huai, and he made arrangements to come here early. Because I received intelligence that there was unrest tonight, I didn't expect it to be quite large.
"Brother Xiao Yan, you are known as the Falcon beside the protector. Have you discovered anything about this matter?" Qu Qubing seemed to be smiling and asked the man first.
This Xiao Yan's eyes kept moving, he glanced at Qu Qubing and the red-robed Master Zhong, and then said in a deep voice: "It's actually very simple to find out. I'm afraid there will be news near the north gate soon! Outside! There was such a big movement, and then someone came to surround the north gate to respond. In fact, it did not pose any threat to the defenders. However, if there was a rebellion in Beiying, those people who responded inside were definitely not in vain. This can only mean that the other party had already Be prepared!"
He then glanced at Qu Qubing again and saw Qu Qubing looking at the north gate quietly, and he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "The other party first used a trick to surround Jubin Tower with the intention of taking advantage of Meng Weiwei. In fact, it was just a deception! If someone If I am not mistaken, the other party just wants to force us to see whether it is in the name of the court or by the means of the Jianghu!"
Unexpectedly, Qu Qubing's expression didn't change. He looked at Xiao Yan and said calmly: "Brother Xiao Yan is really powerful. Although we rarely communicate with each other, we didn't expect that we actually have the same views on this matter." !”
"Haha, this is a ridiculous compliment from the forum leader. However, the situation outside is unclear now. Since the other party posted the post, they will definitely come to meet the forum leader! To say the least, even if the situation in Jinguan City is chaotic, now we have no worries , we just want to maintain stability, so it must not be a problem!" Xiao Yan seemed to be confident, and when he saw Qu Qubing's approval, he couldn't help but continue to say: "Why don't you just calm down and wait for it to change! If it's good, , their people should be nearby!"
For a leader, no matter what Shuzhong's final strategy is, to be honest, Qu Qubing will never give up Jinguan City.
Because Jinguan City was not only the foundation of the Balance Sect, but also an important territory for Emperor Liu Jixing to enter Shu. It can be said that Qu Qubing prospered together with the imperial court in Jinguan City. As long as he is still in Shu, Jinguan City will always belong to the average religion, and Jinguan City will always belong to Emperor Liu Jixing.
After hearing Xiao Yan's words and thinking of Liu Jixing's instructions, Qu Qubing's eyes suddenly became brighter!
