"Are there any candidates?" Tianqi asked.
Gu Bingqian said: "Xing Youwei, the chief envoy of Shaanxi, joined the government. He has a good official reputation in Shaanxi. He has suppressed civil unrest in Shaanxi many times and has good methods to control civil unrest. When this person comes to Juyongguan, he will definitely be able to defend Badaling for the imperial court." A line of defense to stop the army of Liu thieves."
Apocalypse looked thoughtful.
After a while, he said: "The Liu thief has occupied Xuanda and other places. Even if he defends Juyong Pass, he has no troops and horses. How can he annihilate the Liu thief?"
The troops that could be mobilized from Taiyuan, Yulin, and several guard posts in Northern Zhili were sent to Datong to annihilate them. In the end, they did not succeed all the way, but lost troops and generals.
Now there are no troops to dispatch in the Xuanda area.
"There are soldiers and horses." Gu Bingqian answered, "Soon King Qin's army will come to Shuntian Mansion. We only need to leave a part of King Qin's army and send it to Juyong Pass. After the Liu thieves of Xuanda are wiped out, we can also send the remaining King Qin's army to Juyong Pass." Send them back to their place of origin.”
Tianqi nodded and said: "I will do it according to your wishes. The cabinet will issue a decree and appoint Shaanxi Chief Envoy Xing Youwei as the Governor of Xuan Dynasty to lead the military affairs."
"I obey the order." Gu Bingqian bowed and saluted.
Gu Bingqian left the Qianqing Palace and prepared to return to the cabinet to draft an edict.
As soon as he came out, he saw a young eunuch guarding the gate of Qianqing Palace coming up to him, "Mr. Gu Ge, godfather, please come over. Could you please go with me?"
"What does Mr. Wei have to do with me?" Gu Bingqian frowned slightly.
The young eunuch chuckled lightly and said: "The elder Ge has confused the younger one's question. There is no way that the younger one can inquire about the godfather's affairs. It is better for the elder Ge to go there in person. Don't let the godfather wait in a hurry."
"Lead the way!" Gu Bingqian said in a bad tone.
He is already the chief minister of the cabinet, and he no longer needs to be as fawning to Wei Zhongxian as before, let alone listen to Wei Zhongxian in everything, otherwise what would be the point of being the chief minister.
The little eunuch led the way, so he had to follow behind.
Fortunately, the way the little eunuch led was not to the harem, otherwise he would not have dared to take a step closer to the harem no matter how courageous he was.
Arriving at a place not too far from the Qianqing Palace, the young eunuch stopped, pointed to a room next to him, and said: "Master Ge, please go in, your godfather is waiting for you inside."
Gu Bingqian looked around.
He had never been to this place, and few people came here. He felt somewhat comfortable that Wei Zhongxian specifically chose such a remote place to see him.
With a lift of his hem, Gu Bingqian pushed open the door and walked in.
"Mr. Gu Ge is here. Sit down and try the snacks specially prepared by our family. Usually only the emperor and the queen have the opportunity to eat them." Wei Zhongxian pointed to a plate of snacks on the table.
Gu Bingqian said with a smile on his face: "Only Official Wei in the palace can eat such exquisite snacks."
"As long as our family wants to eat, there is nothing we can't eat in the palace. Even the food that some princes cannot eat, our family can eat." Wei Zhongxian said lightly.
Gu Bingqian knew that Wei Zhongxian was warning him about his recent alienation from the other party.
"Try it, it would be a pity not to eat such a good thing." Wei Zhongxian tapped his fingers on the plate containing the snacks.
Gu Bingqian reached out and picked up a piece of snack, put it to his mouth and took a careful bite. He felt a little tired and wanted to drink some tea to drink it down, but found that there was only a cup of Wei Zhongxian's tea on the table.
"Do you want to drink water?" Wei Zhongxian asked with a smile.
Gu Bingqian put down the snacks in his hand and said with a smile: "I'm a little tired of the snacks."
"Come here, serve Mr. Gu Ge tea." Wei Zhongxian said outside.
A young eunuch came in carrying a tureen and placed it in front of Gu Bingqian.
Gu Bingqian reached out to take it to drink, but found that the tea was cold.
"Drink. Does Gu Ge always dislike our tea?" Wei Zhongxian glanced at Gu Bingqian.
Gu Bingqian had no choice but to pick up the tureen and put it to his mouth and took a sip.
When the tea entered my mouth, it felt cold in my mouth. Ice cubes were obviously added to the tea, otherwise it wouldn't be so cold.
"Mr. Gu Ge is a smart man. I won't say anything more. I believe that after eating our snacks and drinking our tea, Mr. Gu Ge will have some enlightenment. We will not keep Mr. Gu Ge anymore." , please come back!" Wei Zhongxian issued an order to expel guests.
Gu Bingqian put down the bowl in his hand, stood up, bowed his hands to Wei Zhongxian who was sitting in his seat, and then left.
As soon as he left, the little eunuch guarding the door walked in quickly.
"Godfather, are you going to let him go like this?" the little eunuch said with a frown.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go quickly?" Kang Shu yelled.
Mr. Ba shrank his neck and hurriedly led a few people along the horse path and down the city wall.
"Let's go, you and I will take the garrison on the city and go out of the city to beg for surrender." Kang Shu said to Shi Peizhang, and then walked to the horse path.
As for the other people in the city, he didn't even mention them.
Shi Peizhang quickly followed, and at the same time said to the defenders of the city: "Everyone, along with the officers and soldiers, will leave the city and surrender."
Although the defenders on the city wall were a little surprised by the sudden surrender, they did not react much. After all, they had witnessed the defeat of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers outside the city, and there were only a few hundred defenders in Huailai Guard City. They wanted to defend Huailai. Coming to Wei is undoubtedly a fantasy.
Kang Shu led people down the city wall.
At this time, the city gate was opened in the hands of the general and several soldiers.
A group of tiger-shaped flag cavalry guarding outside the city gate were stunned for a moment when they saw the suddenly opened city gate. Then everyone took out their muskets and pointed them in the direction of the city gate.
Immediately afterwards, they saw a group of soldiers and horses walking out of the city gate, and the man at the front held a white flag in his hand.
"What do they mean?" A tiger-shaped banner cavalryman outside the city gate asked his companions.
The man snorted and said: "What else can you mean? They raised a white flag. This is because they know that Huailai Weicheng can't hold it anymore, so he took the initiative to leave the city and surrender. Okay, you keep an eye on it here, and I'll go back and take down the people here." Tell Ying Zheng the matter."
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and galloped away from the outside of Huailai Acropolis.
The soldiers of the Tiger Flag had already begun to clean the battlefield. The prisoners of war were brought to the open space one by one to be guarded by specialized personnel. In the distance, there were cavalrymen who had just returned from capturing prisoners.
The Tiger Banner cavalry that joined the battlefield at the last moment was the cavalry battalion brought by Tan Zaiwang.
After the battle, almost all the prisoners who should be captured were captured. Tan Zaiwang took a few cavalry back to the Tiger Flag Camp by the Hun River.
In the tent.
Chen Xunping said happily: "Your cavalry battalion came at the right time. Before, I was worried that the soldiers and horses from Guanning would escape. As soon as you came, the soldiers and horses from Guanning became nothing more than fish on the chopping board. "
"It's a pity that Zhao Shujiao escaped." Tan Zaiwang said disappointedly, "It was just a little bit close. If our cavalry battalion can be faster, we will definitely be able to capture Zhao Shujiao alive."
Chen Xunping said with a smile: "He just ran away. He can't make much trouble as a general soldier. This time he lost his troops and generals, and the court will not let him go easily."
Hu Ziqi had already captured several general soldiers and was not too interested in capturing one more Zhao Shu to teach him.
