On the afternoon of November 2, Chen Xi led his troops to Juyongguan.

After taking down a key battle against the Tatar Yibula tribe, Chenxi was only a short distance from the capital. However, what he had to face at present was not only the thousands of soldiers sent from the capital to take a detour to launch an attack within Juyong Pass, but also the Tatar Khan tribes around the capital and the grassland tribes.

Chen Xi had just led a large group of people to the passway along the post road, and Li Pin, the commander of Longqing Guard, had already come out to greet him personally. When he left the pass, Li Pin saw Chen Xi very respectfully, but he still maintained a minimum reserve. However, when he saw Chen Xi, he simply knelt down on one knee to greet him.

Li Pin lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Last general Li Pin, see Shen Zhongcheng!"

The entrance to Juyong Pass was narrow. At this time, the troops and horses of Chen Xi were constantly entering the pass. No soldiers stopped at the pass. Chen Xi felt that it was a hindrance to stay here, so he waved his hand and said, "Get up, let's go to the city to talk!"

After Li Pin got up, he respectfully made a gesture of invitation: "Shen Zhongcheng, please!"

Before, Chen Xi was only the governor of Yansui who passed by Juyongguan, and had no unity between them, so although there were differences in civil and military and hierarchy, his personality was equal. Now that the Tatars invaded the capital, as the greatest official position among the king-supporting troops, Chen Xi had formed a unity with Li Pin, so Li Pin gave up all dignity and respect for Chen Xi to an unrivalled level.

"... Lord Shen won consecutive battles and defeated tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers and horses in Xuanfu. It was actually the jade pillar of the Ming Dynasty to raise the sky. It was the blessing of the last general to serve under your command!"

Li Pin said while leading the way in front and led Chenxi to the north of Juyongguan. The beautiful rivers and mountains outside Juyongguan suddenly came into view.

Chen Xi raised the telescope sent by his personal guards and looked northwest. There were still traces of war and smoke in Yulin Fort area more than ten miles away. The bodies of Tatars who lost their heads were everywhere. It was the place where many battles were fought before, but now the Tatars Yibula tribe has fled in all directions and can no longer pose a threat to Juyongguan.

Chen Xi put down his telescope and handed it to Yun Liu beside him, sighing slightly: "The bandits are still raging in the capital area, and I am worried!"

Li Pin flattered: "Shen Zhongcheng is a country and the people, and is a model for the country!"

As he said that, Li Pin kept wiping the cold sweat that oozed out of his forehead. Chen Xi looked at him squintly, and saw that Li Pin's forehead was sweating as big as a pearl. He asked in confusion: "The weather is so cold, why is General Li sweating profusely?"

Li Pin's face was bitter and thought to himself: "Mr. Shen led his troops to fight with the Yibula tribe. I am afraid that I will burn my body and prevent the Juyongguan Guard from going beyond the line. I will take the risk to Lord Shen. Fortunately, Lord Shen is a good person in heaven. This battle is actually won. If Lord Shen pursues it, I am the commander of the guards. I hope Lord Shen has a lot!"

Li Pin smiled bitterly: "I learned that Lord Shen had achieved success in the battle, and my heart was surging. The beads of sweat... unconsciously came out."

Chen Xi nodded: "General Li is loyal and precious. I still have reinforcements sent by General Li under my command. I would like to thank General Li for his trust!"

As he said that, Chen Xi patted Li Pin on the shoulder, which scared Li Pin so hard that he couldn't stand firmly. He quickly stated: "What did Lord Zhongcheng say? I will only do my duty!"

At this time, a "Yohe" sounded from a distance. Because of the loud voice, Li Pin, who felt a little relieved, was shocked, and his body shuddered. He took a step back and saw a burly man carrying a long-handled sword towards the city. Although it was a distance, the sound just now seemed to be shouting in his ear.

Li Pin was curious about who this person was, so he heard the man say, "Senior brother, I have killed all those Tartars, and some of them cannot be killed. They are tied up and escorted into the city. The most hateful thing is that I am the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who help the evildoer to abuse...Senior brother, can I kill them?"

Li Pin thought to himself: "Who is this person? He is so big and looks majestic, but his words are honest and simple. From what he said, he seems to have a close relationship with Lord Shen?"

Seeing Li Pin a little surprised, Chen Xi casually introduced: "This is the General of Wang Ling!"

Li Pin was stunned. He had never heard of Wang Lingzhi, but he knew the truth and quickly changed into a "famous name is like thunderous" expression and sighed: "It turns out that this is General Wang, I have been admired for a long time!" As he said that, Li Pin stepped forward and wanted to hook up with Wang Lingzhi, but Wang Lingzhi took down the big knife unhappily and lie between the two.

Wang Lingzhi didn't like to get too close to strangers. He stared at the tiger's eyes wide and his sword faced Li Pin, looking like he was saying, Where did the bird man come from, he was so shameless to get close to him?

Chen Xi shouted sternly: "Don't be rude! This is a pass by Yongguan, and the person in front of you is my Ming Dynasty commander Longqingwei!"

Only then did Wang Lingzhi remember that he was in someone else's place. He put down his big knife embarrassedly and nodded to Li Pin, which was considered to be a greeting.

In the previous bloody battle, Wang Lingzhi rushed in front and Lin Heng followed behind. Wang Ling was invincible, and it was difficult for the Tatars to stop him from a knife. He was basically chopped off his horse after a meeting. The Tatars saw that there were such peerless generals in the Ming army, and the morale of the army was in chaos.

Wang Lingzhi led a horse team into the Tatar Central Army, completely disrupting the Tatars' formation. He cut down the flag of the Yibula tribe with one last knife. The Tatars were completely angry. Chen Xi led the main force to take the opportunity to cover up the killing and finally achieved a refreshing victory.

After this battle, the entire Tatar Yibula army was wiped out. Chen Xi's troops were beheaded only 3,000 soldiers and horses, and another 1,000 prisoners. The rest of the Tatars fled in scattered areas, basically losing the power to fight again.

Li Pin looked embarrassed and did not dare to get too close, for fear that the mighty General Wang would "miss" and chop him up. Wang Lingzhi strode to Chen Xi and reported: "Mr. Shen, do you think I can kill those traitors?"

With outsiders present, Wang Lingzhi became smarter and no longer had the best brothers and elders, but called Chen Xi "Master Shen". Chen Xi frowned and said, "Since he is a prisoner, he will do everything according to the rules and leave it to the court to deal with it. How can I make the decision without authorization? Since you have completed the responsibilities assigned by me, you can wait to receive the merits and receive rewards. You don't need to ask about the rest!"

If someone else said this, Wang Ling was dissatisfied with one hundred people, but this was from the mouth of Chen Xi, the situation would be different. Wang Lingzhi smiled freely and easily: "Mr. Shen will do whatever he says. General Li, I was reckless and rude before, and I apologize to you here. Next, I still have military affairs to deal with, so I will take my leave first. Lord. Shen, I'm going!"

Chen Xi shook his head and looked at Wang Lingzhi's back. He waited for Wang Lingzhi to enter the cavalry team and go away. Then he withdrew his gaze and happened to face Li Pin's eyes.

Li Pin quickly said: "Mr. Zhongcheng, in the next step, you... prepare for how to use troops, and finally obey everything!"

Chen Xi's mouth curled up slightly, with a faint sarcasm: "General Li said before that he would obey his official orders, but why..."

Li Pin thought to himself that he was finally here, how could Lord Shen not hold him accountable? He quickly explained: "The general was afraid that Juyongguan would be in trouble and affect the overall situation of the capital, so he did not dare to send troops to help!"

Chen Xi said coldly: "Then General Li is not worried about the loss of the city blockade now?"

Li Pin swallowed his saliva with difficulty and said tremblingly: "Master Zhongcheng defeated the Tatar soldiers outside the Great Wall, and the danger of Juyong Pass has been resolved... The last general is willing to serve as a small soldier under Lord Shen's command, so no one dares to disobey!"

This was said in a pertinent manner, and Chen Xi nodded: "It's not too late to make up for the siege. I learned that General Li refused to dispatch troops before, and thought General Li did not cooperate with his military deployment. Now, I heard General Li's intentions and realized that he had a misunderstanding!"

Li Pin began to sweat again, secretly glad that fortunately, the smooth words were tactful, otherwise something would really happen.

Chen Xi said again: "The capital is in danger now, and I am planning to rest in Juyongguan. When the Tatar soldiers and horses are discovered, I will return to the capital to serve the king. At that time, I will head to the capital with General Li's troops and horses. I wonder if General Li is willing to cooperate?"

Li Pin thought Chen Xi would first think of how to defeat the thousands of Tatar soldiers outside the southern entrance of Juyongguan, but he didn't expect Chen Xi to directly ask to lead troops to the capital. This was much beyond his expectations. He asked stutterly: "Mr. Shen, the Tatar soldiers and horses running on the front line of Changping..."

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "It's not a fear. General Li just obeys the order of his official and arranges to send troops!"

Li Pin had been convinced to follow his advice before, but he became hesitant now. His feeling about Chen Xi's decision was that Chen Xi had just won a gambling game, and he did not place bets with him. Now Shen Xi is going to have a big shot, so it is a question whether he follows or not.

Li Pin murmured in his heart: "There are tens of thousands of Tatar soldiers around the capital, and the defenders in Juyong Pass, plus Shen Zhongcheng's troops, only more than 20,000 yuan. Going to the capital like this is like a mantis armed chariot, a drop in the bucket. If I obey Shen Zhongcheng's order, the entire army will be wiped out, and Juyong Pass will be in trouble again, then I have a family of old and young people, so don't I want to be buried with you?"

Then he thought again, "Shen Zhongcheng turned decay into magic at critical moments. Everyone thought that in the battle of Tumu Fort, he would definitely die. As a result, he was not only fine, but also came back with his troops. If I did not obey the order, there would be big trouble now. Maybe Shen Zhongcheng would do something to sacrifice flags in Juyong Pass to stabilize the morale of the army. He was the second-rank official of the Three Yuan and the leader of the civil officials. I am just a hereditary general. How could he challenge him?"

Finally, Li Pin finally made up his mind, "Anyway, all this is Lord Shen's idea. I obey the orders. Juyongguan has made mistakes. That is because Lord Shen has no choice but to be defeated. If he is defeated, it is not my responsibility. Will the court fail to pursue the matter? Then I obey Lord Shen's orders. If I can achieve military achievements, I may be remembered in history. This is my best opportunity to make achievements!"

Thinking of this, Li Pin couldn't help but feel excited.

A general in the Great Wall had no chance to succeed and became famous. He was named a marquis and was appointed as a general. But now with Chen Xi, there are hopes for impossible things. How can Li Pin not be moved?

"Although Lord Shen is young and energetic, he is always invincible in commanding battles. I only hope that this battle will make me and the opposing village. It's like shaking dice. As long as a leopard is produced, you will win a great victory and gain fame. You will have no worries in your life, and even enjoy all your glory and wealth for several lifetimes. It's worth it!"

Li Pin was not only a general, but also a gambler. When he transferred troops to Chen Xi, he had a game mentality, but he was half of the game.

Now that he is still missing half, he will naturally not be stingy with chips. The more he is a gambler, he wants to make a big fortune with a small amount. Driven by this gambler's psychology, he suddenly has a hundred times more confident about Chen Xi's entry into the capital.
