Chapter 249: Use marching speed to establish authority
Seeing so many people on the street, the eunuchs who were sending the imperial edict were of course anxious. He came to pass the imperial edict on orders, and there was time to ask for it. If he wanted to send the imperial edict to others, he could do his best to delay. Anyway, the unlucky general was the military general, and it would not be him. As long as he passed the imperial edict within the specified time, it would be fine!
But if he sent an order to Li Qin and borrowed him a hundred courage, he would not dare to play Li Qin. If Li Qin turned against him and found an excuse, he could just make a small eunuch. Even if he didn't turn against him at that time, it would be very likely that something would happen on his way back to Luoyang. Taking a step back, even if he could return to Luoyang, Zhang Rang would not spare him. The whole man knew that Li Qin was the one who Zhang Rang strongly supported, and now even Zhang Rang was afraid of Li Qin and did not dare to offend Li Qin!
The eunuch immediately said anxiously: "What should I do? It seems that the people on the street will not be able to disperse for a while. We are unable to move forward now, so we can't pass the imperial edict to Li Qin!" He was anxious and his throat became sharp and thin.
A Yulin Army said, "Master Zhongguan, don't be anxious first, let the general think of a solution!" He jumped off the horse, grabbed a commoner, and said, "Brother, we came from Luoyang, and we want to find Li Qin and Li Junhou, but now there are so many people, we can't get through. Do you know the path? Let's get through the alley, please give me some advice." As he said that, he grabbed a handful of copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into the hands of the commoner.
The people grabbed the copper coins and said with a chuckle, "This money is easy to make. OK, Jun Ye, since you have asked, the villain will tell you everything, and you can say everything." He pointed to the street and said, "Look, go in from here, go west, walk to the end, then turn north, and then walk to the end. It's Jingzhao Yin Yamen, where Li Junhou lives. There are many people on the street now, but there are not many people in the alley, so it's easy to walk very much. You can get to the place in less than two quarters of an hour!"
The Yulin Army was relieved and thanked him. Just as they were about to turn around, they heard the people say, "But if you have an urgent matter, you will see Mr. Li Jun now, and you will not have to go to the yamen. Isn't it enough to wait here!"
After arguing, Yu Linjun turned around in surprise and asked, "Waiting here? It's dark, how could Li Junhou come here? Are you kidding?"
The people yelled again and said with a smile: "If the villain didn't take your money from Bing Master, maybe he would really be joking with you and playing with you, but if you take your money, you won't be joking. We can't take your money for nothing, do you think so?"
He raised his chin, pointed at the people all over the street, and said, "Today is the day for those top top officials to parade the streets. Li Junhou respects scholars, so he personally sets the way for them. The city gate is the end. After arriving here, the parade team will go back, so you have to see Li Junhou and wait here. Take the opportunity to take a break and eat something. Look at your appearance, I'm afraid I'm half tired!"
The people looked at the dusty appearance of Yulin Jun, kicked the money in his arms, and said, "This money is really easy to make!" They were afraid that the Yulin Jun would take the money back and squeeze into the crowd and disappear!
Yu Linjun was stunned for a moment and didn't understand much, but he shouted to the eunuch: "Master Zhongguan, that person said, just wait here, and Li Junhou will come in a while!"
But the eunuch said angrily: "You bastard, you can believe the words of such a grass-roots person. What if we wait here, what if Li Junhou doesn't come? Will you take this responsibility?"
The Yulin Army shivered. He couldn't afford it. You just need to do whatever you say. Anyway, if something happens, the first one is you, and it has nothing to do with us! He said that he could walk out of the alley. The eunuch heard that he was unwilling to wait here, but he was willing to go into the alley and took the Yulin Army into the alley and ran towards Jingzhaoyin's yamen!
The people took the money but didn't fool them. It was really fast to go to the alley. In less than two quarters of an hour, they really rushed to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. They saw that the yamen was deserted and there was not even a single person except for a few guards standing guard, and there was no one to be an official.
The eunuch jumped off his horse and shouted in a sharp voice: "The imperial edict has arrived, Li Qin will accept the edict!" He strode to the gate, but the guards did not go in immediately to report it, but instead looked at him for no reason.
The eunuch said anxiously: "I didn't hear what our family said. Let Li Junhou come out to receive the order quickly. This is not a trivial matter!"
A guard came over and asked, "That, angel, do you have to call you an angel? Lord Angel, if you come from Luoyang, you have to enter the east gate. You should be able to watch Li Junhou. He was parading with the officials on that street. The end point was the city gate. When you came, you didn't watch the city gate was open?"
A guard behind also said, "If there is an urgent matter, just wait at the city gate. There is no need to come here. Maybe you can see Mr. Li as soon as possible!"
The eunuch was stunned. The grass-roots man didn't fool him. He was indeed waiting at the city gate! The Yulin soldiers behind him cursed their lips together, secretly calling the eunuch smart and always thinking that he would not waste time. Now, it was better, but it was even more delayed!
The eunuch stammered and asked, "Then, who is in charge of the yamen now? It's okay to give him the imperial edict!" He was eager to finish the matter, and as long as the imperial edict was handed over, he would have nothing to do.
The guard shook his head and said, "Li Junhou and Jia Juncheng are not here, they are all parading, but the former Jingzhao Yingai has not yet gone to Liangzhou. He is here, otherwise you can give him the imperial edict?"
The eunuch Daqi, of course, he knew that Jingzhao Yin was Gai Xun, but why did he become the past? Then what did Gai Xun do now? He didn't know that Gai Xun was obsolete and became the governor of Fujiao Fort, but when he asked the guards, the guards couldn't tell what it was. How dare the eunuchs handed over the imperial edict to people outside the Fujiao Army? Isn't that a random gift? Such an imperial edict cannot be given random gifts. He had to enter the lobby, sit in the hall, and wait for Li Qin to come back.
After waiting for a long time, it was already the second day, and then I heard cheers coming from outside. The eunuchs quickly came out and saw the crowds of people outside the yamen. Li Qin and a large number of officials came back surrounded by soldiers and the people!
The eunuch jumped down the steps and shouted, "Marty Li Jun, our family is looking forward to you back. If you don't come back, our family will be in a hurry to hang themselves!"
When Li Qin saw a *** in an eunuch's uniform, he immediately understood that there was something going on in the court. But he didn't know what the movement was. He jumped off his horse, strode forward, and said, "Is this Zhongguan here to send the order? Come on, let's talk to the court, wait for me to set up an incense table and welcome the order!"
The eunuch said anxiously: "If you are in a hurry, no one will blame Li Junhou for the incense case, there is no need to put it on!" He took Li Qin's hand and entered the yard together. Then he asked Li Qin to kneel down. He took out the imperial edict and read it. After reading Qin, he was relieved. His mission was completed, and the rest was a blessing or a disaster. Li Qin would carry it alone. Nothing was done to him!
After hearing the imperial edict, Li Qin was shocked. He jumped up and shouted, "Your Majesty wants me to lead troops to Luoyang within three days? And it's been a day now?"
Jia Xu was also anxious, and he shouted, "In two days, let alone rushing to Luoyang, it would be difficult to gather troops on the road. How could it take for hundreds of miles to arrive in two days?"
The eunuch thought to himself: "That's nothing to do with me! I came from Chang'an, but it only took me more than a day and a night. If I were to work hard, I would do it back and forth!"
The march of a large army is definitely not the same as a few cavalry running fast. The messenger can speed up to 600 miles or even 800 miles, but the army is not anxious. At the regular marching speed, infantry can only maintain combat effectiveness by traveling 30 miles a day, while cavalry is about 100 miles a day. Unless they rush to attack, otherwise even if they arrive at the destination, the horse will run to death, and the people will run away. What kind of war will they fight? They are exhausted!
Jia Xu pulled the eunuch aside and said, "Some words on the imperial edict are vague, and of course some things cannot be written into the imperial edict. I ask you, are things in the east really out of control? The Yellow Turban Army is really so powerful that it has already attacked Luoyang?"
The eunuch dared not answer truthfully, it was no secret that he had no need to tell lies. He said, "The Yellow Turban Army beat General Huangfu to death, and the new recruits trained by General Yuan were also wiped out. The Yellow Turban Army is indeed powerful, and the Fujiao Army cannot control them!"
Jia Xu said oh, and he followed Li Qin, leaned closer and whispered: "It seems that the court is really anxious, otherwise the emperor would not be able to issue such an imperial edict. According to my opinion, I am not trying to kill you in Luoyang!"
Li Qin nodded, and he was also afraid that the twelve gold medals would happen to him. If he was really summoned to the capital by the court and then he would be slashed, it would be too late to regret it!
He said, "If the Yellow Turban Army is so powerful, then I have to go there quickly, but it is impossible to bring the army to the capital within two days. Otherwise, I will let Dian Wei take three thousand cavalry, as a vanguard, and hurry up all the way. They will definitely arrive in Luoyang within two days. Maybe they will arrive early. As soon as they arrive, the court will not be able to say anything. And I will take the army and set off later. You are responsible for the supply of food and grass, and you have to handle the matter here in Chang'an well, so you can't keep your tail!"
Jia Xu nodded and said, "I will handle Chang'an's affairs as soon as possible, don't worry about this!"
Li Qin called Dian Wei and asked him to leave the city immediately to order 3,000 elite troops and run to Luoyang overnight. He didn't take any supplies, just to hurry on the road. The earlier he could arrive, the better. Let the people of the court see the speed of the Fujiao Army and shock them!
After hearing this, Dian Wei smiled and said, "It's rare to use marching speed to establish his authority! Okay, let's lead troops to Luoyang to let the big men in Luoyang see how my Fujiao Army is thousands of miles a day!"
