Chapter 225: Throwing the cup as a signal?

"This meeting may be dangerous, Xiuning wants to go with the Lord."

Seeing that Li Qian was planning to attend a meeting at the camp of Nanyang prefect Qin Jie, Li Xiuning couldn't help but worry about Li Qian's safety and decided to go to the meeting with Li Qian.

"You stay outside and lead the troops. If I'm in danger, you can lead the troops to kill me. This will help me escape."

Li Qian did not intend to let Li Xiuning take the risk.

If Li Xiuning led the main force to support outside, it would be safer for Li Qian to attend the meeting.

The reason why the ancient vassal states had to lead troops to defend the king was that they had a large army outside the city to support them. The emperor did not dare to act rashly against them, otherwise the army would massacre the city and they would all perish.

"No, we have the pharmacist leading the troops to provide support. Xiuning plans to go with the lord."

Li Xiuning's eyes were determined to follow Li Qian.

In Li Xiuning's opinion, Li Qian's attendance at the meeting this time was like entering a dangerous place.

For this reason, Li Xiuning actually disobeyed orders.

"..."

Li Qian discovered that Li Xiuning had overestimated the danger of this meeting.

Li Qian planned to bring Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Yaojin, Zhai Changsun and a hundred Xuanjia soldiers to the meeting. With Li Qian's 106 terrifying military force, if there was an ambush, Li Qian would be able to break out.

After all, it was Qin Jie's subordinates, not Qin Jie himself, who had the intention to harm Li Qian.

Qin Jie was not an ambitious prince. Li Qian was kind to Qin Jie when he was fighting against the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang. If Qin Jie's subordinates wanted to harm him, Qin Jie would stop them.

However, the reason why Li Xiuning disobeyed orders was that she cared too much about Li Qian, and Li Qian felt warm in his heart.

"My lord, you can ask Miss Xiuning to go with you. I will lead the troops to support you."

Seeing that Li Xiuning cared so much about Li Qian, Li Jing went along with it.

As a top-notch commander, Li Jing possesses the ability to act on his own. Even if Li Qian is not there, with Li Jing leading the troops, the combat effectiveness of Li Qian's army will not be much worse, and they can provide support in the first time.

In addition to Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Qin Ming, Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing, Li Siye, Tian Zhen, Li Su, the Ten Generals of Mountains and Rivers and other generals stayed outside. Once Li Qian was in danger, they would send troops to rescue Li Qian as soon as possible.

Since Li Jing, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other subordinates with high intelligence values ​​all believed that this trip would not be dangerous, Li Qian felt much more relieved: "In that case, Xiuning, you will come with me to the meeting."

"Xiuning obeys your command!"

Li Xiuning was so anxious that she was about to cry, but when she saw Li Qian finally agreed, she was overjoyed and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Li Qian led five fierce generals and a hundred black-armored soldiers into the camp of Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, while Li Jing and others led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to support them outside.

If anything happened to Li Qian, they would lead their troops to attack Qin Jie's 100,000-strong army.

Even if the enemy had an army of 100,000, Li Jing, Gao Xianzhi, Li Su and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty who had high aspirations would not be afraid.

They don't even know the word cowardice.

Not only Li Qian, but also King Zheng who was being hunted by Li Qian was invited to the camp of Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang.

The two met in Qin Jie's tent. King Zheng's face turned pale and he glared at Li Qian fiercely.

Li Qian defeated him three times in a row, resulting in the loss of more than half of King Zheng's troops. Two generals were captured alive by Li Qian, with heavy casualties.

After this battle, the elite troops that King Zheng had accumulated with great difficulty suffered heavy losses and his strength was greatly reduced.

If Qin Jie had not led 100,000 Han troops south to mediate, the King of Zheng might have fled all the way back to Yuyang County, and might even have been killed. Flying General Shan Xiongxin followed the King of Zheng as his guard.

Shan Xiongxin stared at Li Qian, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and other powerful generals, fearing that these generals would rush forward and kill King Zheng.

Not only Li Qian was worried that this was a Hongmen Banquet, King Zheng was also worried.

If Li Qian suddenly attacked and injured someone, killed King Zheng while Qin Jie was mediating the dispute between the two, and the situation became an established fact, then Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, would not be able to do anything to Li Qian.

Therefore, King Zheng brought Shan Xiongxin.

If the situation goes badly and Li Qian is determined to kill him, then Shan Xiongxin can help him stop Li Qian and buy time for him to escape.

King Zheng’s worries are not without reason.

When Li Qian met King Zheng in Qin Jie's camp, the thought of killing King Zheng flashed through his mind for a moment.

But after all, this is the camp of Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang. If the King of Zheng is attacked and killed, it will inevitably cause Qin Jie's dissatisfaction.

It was not a wise choice to offend the governor and go against hundreds of thousands of Han troops.

Dong Zhuo had not yet entered the capital, and there was no chaos in the world. The provincial governors and prefects in various places had great power, and Li Qian had to look at the attitudes of the prefects.

In addition, King Zheng's bodyguard Shan Xiongxin is a fierce general who can hold off the enemy for a while, but by then he will miss the opportunity to kill King Zheng.

After weighing the pros and cons, Li Qian gave up the idea.

Li Qian always felt that the reason why Qin Jie intervened in this matter was probably not just Qin Jie's will, there might be someone behind it.

Qin Jie was a civil servant after all, and he might not be able to fully control the generals under him.

Li Qian and King Zheng walked into the tent at the same time and met Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, and Qin Jie's generals Zhao Ci, Chen Sheng, Zhang Hu and others.

After these generals who were originally from Jiangxia County gained a foothold in Nanyang County, they recruited soldiers and each of them had at least a few thousand soldiers under their command, and some had tens of thousands. They were unruly and became a group of military leaders under Qin Jie.

Li Qian saw hostility in the eyes of generals such as Zhao Ci, Chen Sheng, and Zhang Hu.

It seems that these generals are not very friendly to me.

Could it be that the dispatch of 100,000 Han troops from Wancheng to the south to mediate was not Qin Jie's original intention, but the idea of ​​these generals?
When Zhao Ci saw Li Qian coming, he immediately shouted, "The Xinye Commander is supposed to protect the territory and the people, why did he send troops to attack Rang County? Are you trying to imitate the Yellow Turban Army?"

Generals such as Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu also glared at Li Qian, almost ready to smash the cup as a signal.

It seems that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's guesses were correct.

Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie had no intention of harming him, but it was hard to say about the group of generals under Qin Jie.

Li Qian had no doubt at this time that as long as Zhao Ci smashed the cup as a signal, a group of swordsmen would rush out.

However, the powerful generals brought by Li Qian are no pushovers.

Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde, two peerless generals, heard the murderous intent in Zhao Ci's tone, and stared at Zhao Ci with their eyes wide open.

As long as Zhao Ci dared to act rashly, they would march forward and kill Zhao Ci.

Zhao Ci was stared at by two ferocious generals who were like peerless ferocious beasts. His scalp was tingling and he didn't dare to move for a moment.

Seeing that Zhao Ci and other generals were frightened, Li Qian said slowly, "They sent troops to invade Xinye County first, and I raised troops to suppress them later. I hope the governor can tell who is right and who is wrong, so as not to be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives."

Qin Jie extended his hand to signal Zhao Ci and the others: "Don't be rude. I am the governor and I have brought troops here only to mediate."
