"Your Highness... you go, the general will order someone to open the pass gate for you right now!!"
But as soon as Gan Yuzhou finished speaking, a group of his men surrounded him.
"General, the gate cannot be opened. Without the emperor's order, opening the pass without permission is a capital crime!"
"Yes, General, who knows whether what the prince said is true or false? Even if we want to open the city gate, we have to wait until we find out!"
Qin Wei spoke at this time.
"The fastest journey from here to Pingcheng is a day and a night, and the round trip takes two days. By the time you find out, something has already happened!"
But the former persuaded Gan Yuzhou's general to look at Qin Wei with excitement.
"Hmph, something will happen if you say something will happen? I have been here for so many years, how come I have never heard that the Kingdom of Seal is going to rebel?"
"Besides, even if what the prince said is true, don't forget that you only have 30,000 people. If you fail, it won't matter if you are convicted. Our general will lose his head!"
Another subordinate followed suit.
"Yes, General, you need to be cautious about this matter."
"Don't you think it's strange? The prince went out to conquer the Huns. How could the imperial court send him 30,000 soldiers and horses? Isn't this just a sign of death? Judging from the future, I'm afraid the prince is not going to attack the Kingdom of Seal at all, or perhaps The Huns should surrender to the enemy instead!"
Qin Wei's anger suddenly rose.
"Be bold!"
"You dare to slander the prince, are you seeking death?"
At this time, the prince looked around.
Gan Yuzhou, who had already made up his mind about these two things that had little success but more than failure, now became hesitant again.
"That's good, I will stay here!"
"General Gan, you should rest assured. No matter what happens, I will bear the responsibility with you. All you need to do is let my soldiers go out and help the country of Yin suppress the rebellion."
Zhao Wenhui immediately became anxious.
"No. Prince, how can you stay? For such an important matter, how can we dare to make any decisions without you?"
Qin Wei naturally felt that this matter was very inappropriate.
As for the generals around Gan Yuzhou, if they have any evil intentions and have any unkindness to His Highness, how should they explain to the court?
"Yes, Your Highness, please stay here. If Wood and the others catch up here, and if anything happens to you, wouldn't we become a commander-less army in the front?"
Gan Yuzhou's men looked at each other.
"General, I think it's okay. The prince will stay here. No matter what, even if something goes wrong, you can just blame it on the prince. At least, you won't have to be accused of losing your head!"
But another general had different ideas.
"I don't think so."
"Even if the prince stays here, the army will still be out. The prince can't protect himself now. How can he protect my general? I'm afraid that if the time comes, all of us will be involved."
"General, this door cannot be opened under any circumstances!"
Zhao Wenhui quit and suddenly started to quarrel with Gan Yuzhou's men.
The lobby was noisy.
suddenly!
With a bang, Liu Qi grabbed the cup and threw it to the ground.
"enough!"
"General Gan, you don't have to hesitate anymore."
"Now I understand. People say you are upright, but it turns out you are just a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."
"There's no need for you to send it away. Anyway, we can't get out of the Daqing border. In this case, I might as well lead the army back to Pingcheng."
"Haha, it is in vain that I, the king, only serve the country and want to seek justice for the soldiers who died in the battle. Now it seems that there is no other way."
After saying that, he waved his sleeves.
"Qin Wei, there's no need to tell them, Wenhui, let's go!"
Liu Qi has no acting qualities at all. He turned around and took Qin Wei and others to leave.
"General, just let them go?"
One of his subordinates felt that even letting them go would bring disaster to them.
It was obvious that Gan Yuzhou was silent and it was hard for him to take any action.
Liu Qi sneered contemptuously. They had already walked out of the door, and they heard a loud shout from behind.
"Your Highness, please stay!"
Liu Qi immediately stopped, and Qin Wei behind him turned around, eyes wide with anger. His hand was already on the sword at his waist.
Except for him, the other subordinates also followed suit.
Zhao Wenhui stayed close to Liu Qi, already ready to fight his way out.
Gan Yuzhou's men saw this.
"Yes, general, we can't let them go! The prince himself said that he came here to express his guilt, so we just let them go. If we go back to the court to investigate, won't we have to be implicated too?"
Another general waved his hand directly!
"Come here! Take them down for me!"
For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it even gave people the feeling that a melee was about to break out here.
But at this moment, Gan Yuzhou suddenly stopped him, a general who was about to charge forward.
"Stop it all!"
"Who told you that Ben was going to keep them?"
The generals were stunned.
At this time, Liu Qi, who was standing outside the door, also slowly turned around.
I saw Gan Yuzhou slowly walking over, his expression a little complicated.
"Come here! Let His Highness the Crown Prince pass!"
A general was shocked when he heard this.
"General Gan..."
But before he could finish his words, Gan Yuzhou sternly stopped him.
"In this case, are you the commander-in-chief or am I the commander-in-chief?"
The man lowered his head angrily and stopped talking, and the other generals also closed their mouths but hesitated to speak.
"Isn't General Gan afraid of being blamed?"
Faced with Liu Qi's questions, Gan Yuzhou laughed several times.
"Of course I'm afraid, but if the general's choice can bring long-term peace in the north, then the general will die without regrets!"
After saying that, he turned back to look at his men.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, just blame it on me. This is the decision of me alone, and it will definitely not implicate you."
Hearing these words, Liu Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, if Gan Yuzhou didn't agree, then he would really have no choice but to lead his troops back to Pingcheng.
The surrounding mountains are steep and the terrain is complex, making it impossible to browse past and exit the northern border.
Although Beiping Pass is also an option, once we get there, the matter between the Xiongnu and the Kingdom of Seal will have ended long ago. Even if we arrive with a large army, what's the point.
Liu Qi didn't say anything and patted Gan Yuzhou on the shoulder.
"General Gaoyi!"
"Don't worry, as I said before, I will always be worthy of your trust! When my army returns in triumph, it will be the day when you will make meritorious deeds."
Gan Yuzhou's men finally opened the gate of Jiaping Pass reluctantly.
Liu Qizong rode in front and led his troops out of Daqing in a mighty manner.
"Your Highness, if you go west for three days, you can reach the vicinity of the Kingdom of Seal. However, there are two roads leading there. I wonder which one you should choose, Your Highness?"
