Having ordered someone to bring chairs, Li Chen had Su Zhenti and Hu Shifan sit down before speaking, "General Hu, are you aware of the current situation in the court"

This is getting straight to the point.

Hu Shifan was startled and answered in a low voice, "I have been stationed on the border for a long time, so I am not very familiar with the court's situation. But General Su has already analyzed the pros and cons with me before, and I know that the current situation is precarious."

Therefore, the last general wishes to represent tens of thousands of soldiers from Liaodong and pledge to Your Highness: the hearts of the Liaodong army are loyal and they obey only Your Highness's command.

Li Chen glanced at Su Zhetong and gave his father-in-law a thumbs up.

Obviously, Su Zhen'ting had already done all the preliminary work, so Li Chen could just pick up the ready-made now.

At this time, Su Zhen'ting said to Li Chen, "According to the previous instructions of Your Highness, 40,000 elite soldiers from Liaodong have been urgently deployed to the Jingjing area, flanking in two routes, respectively cutting off the roads into the capital from Dongshan and Nanhe provinces. If necessary, at least 20,000 elite soldiers can enter the capital within a day for Your Highness's use."

Li Chen had Wan Jiaojiao bring out the military map. After spreading it out, Hu Shifan personally came over and marked the positions and trajectories of the 40,000 elite Liaodong troops on the map for Li Chen.

Li Chen took a glance and found that the Liaodong army had already reached the outskirts of the Jijing area, but it would take some time to complete the encirclement of the entire Jijing area.

"An army of 40,000 marching at such speed is almost impossible to conceal. If someone with ill intentions were to learn of it, trouble would surely follow."

"Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness for guidance. If we encounter resistance from local officials or soldiers, what should I do"

"This palace will give you a decree, and I will also issue you the Tiger Talisman. Thus, any action of the Liaodong army will be permitted by this palace. If there is still resistance, then charge through."

Li Chen said indifferently: "Forty thousand elite troops will storm in, no one dares to stop them."

Beside him, Su Zhen'ting frowned slightly and said, "Your Highness, this is probably not appropriate."

Su Zhen-ting rarely opposed Li Chen's words, let alone in front of Hu Shi-fan. So Li Chen realized that Su Zhen-ting probably felt something was wrong, so he asked: "What do you think, General Su"

Su Zhenning leaned into Li Chen's ear and whispered, "Don't set a precedent."

Five short words made Li Chen squint his eyes.

Throughout history, the movement of troops has always been a serious matter.

According to the laws of the Qin Empire, local military garrisons could not mobilize more than fifty soldiers at a time without an official order. Military commanders had to sign such orders, which then went through layers of approval and review. Mobilizing over three hundred soldiers required reporting to the imperial court, providing information on the purpose, route, and number of troops being mobilized. Only after receiving permission and registration from the Ministry of War could action be taken.

As for more than a thousand people marching, no department has the authority to issue orders, only the emperor can.

This law is absolute, touch it and you die, there is no room for mercy.

And this is still the local garrison's, if it were a field army like the Liaodong Army that was being moved, it would be even stricter.

Without the Emperor's command, Hu Shifan dared to move a single soldier out of Liaodong, that would be treasonous and he would be executed.

Although the situation is special now and Li Chen has withdrawn the Liao Dong army from their defense zone, military maneuvers can be swift in times of emergency, but they must never set a precedent of forcefully breaking through checkpoints. Otherwise, if this precedent is set, it will be difficult to control the armies of the Qin Empire in the future.t find any words to refute him."Chuckling, Li Chen said: “People are not saints, of course they have personal gain. A system or rule that benefits me, I naturally want to maintain it. It's just that I...
