At the same time, Gu Deyuan, Bo Wengu, and other advisors left behind by his father also arrived.
After Li Qin saw that they had all arrived, he immediately told them to take whatever supplies they could carry, and they changed horses but not riders along the way, rushing towards Shanhaiguan.
Faced with Li Qin's words, some of the generals at various levels showed unusual expressions, but they still carried them out.
Li Qin was well aware of this situation, after all, they had been rushing towards western Liaoning overnight since they set off from eastern Liaoning.
First they arrived in Jinzhou. After You Chu in Jinzhou saw through their movements, he insisted on defense, and then they went to attack Ningyuan.
We have just captured Ningyuan, so instead of resting, we should let our tired soldiers and horses rest.
They continued their advance towards Shanhaiguan.
Regarding his decision, a general in the army named Dugu Lian suggested that he let the soldiers rest for a period of time first.
After that, they would rush towards Shanhaiguan, but Li Qin knew that he was now exploiting a time difference.
There was no time for him to rest.
So he immediately distributed all the wealth he was carrying to the generals and the 20,000 exhausted cavalrymen.
He was told that this was only a small part, and that once they captured Shanhaiguan, the reward they would receive would be ten times that amount.
At that time, you'll have everything you could want: money, women, and more.

A guard ran over and handed him a letter.
Li Qin frowned after reading the contents of the letter.
Because the first way to address him above is as "brother".
younger brother?
According to the original owner's memories, I was clearly the eldest son in the family.
Li Qin continued looking down and saw the signature, which clearly read "Brother Li Jian".
Li Jian?
Wanyan Jian?
Upon seeing the name, Li Qin immediately retrieved the relevant memories from the original owner's recollections.
Wanyan Jian, a Jurchen, was the bandit raised by the original owner's father for his own gain.
He unified most of the Jurchen tribes north of Liaodong, with the tacit approval of the original owner's father.
He had 40,000 Jurchen cavalry under his command.
However, in private he claims to be the adopted son of the original owner's father, and calls himself Li Jian.
In any case, while his father was alive, he was always a filial son and virtuous grandson of the Li family.
