They all surrendered to him.
After Li Qin put down the military report related to Shanhaiguan.
They focused their attention on the largest group of enemies behind them.
That was You Chu from Jinzhou. You should know that there were more than 20,000 soldiers in Jinzhou.
Even if there are instances of people receiving salaries without working, and instances of conscripting men to fill positions.
However, it is estimated that there are still seven or eight thousand soldiers who can fight.
The Wang Taihe and tens of thousands of cavalrymen he left outside Jinzhou were merely there to confront them and keep an eye on them.
However, leaving them behind him not only made him very uneasy, but also greatly restricted his power.
What worried Li Qin the most was that if they were defeated at Shanhaiguan, during their retreat to Liaodong...
It is highly likely that You Chu will use Jinzhou to temporarily contain him, preventing him from quickly retreating to Liaodong.
If that were to happen, it would be fatal.
He will be in a completely desperate situation.
Therefore, we must take over Jinzhou, as well as those military fortresses and cities in western Liaoning.
They also need to be cleared out, otherwise what if they cut off the supply lines of their more than 100,000 troops?
These are all things that need to be addressed.
Especially You Chu from Jinzhou, who once said in Jinzhou that as long as he took Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan, he could cut off the imperial court's route to the outside world.
He will surrender.
First, I took over Ningyuan, and then Shanhaiguan.
Will that guy actually surrender?
However, we shouldn't have too much hope for his promise.
Because that was very likely a delaying tactic on his part.
Ultimately, he had to gather his generals and devise a backup plan.
That was after You Chu learned that Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan had fallen.
They still refused to surrender.
Then I'll have to come up with a plan for a forceful military offensive.
I just hope I don't have to use this plan.
