Most of the officers at Shanhaiguan, along with their soldiers, were leaderless after He Xiuwu, the garrison commander of Shanhaiguan, fled. They all surrendered to Li Qin's army.
The officers and soldiers who were still actively resisting were scattered throughout Shanhaiguan, a disorganized mess.
They were also continuously wiped out by Li Qin's army.
Soon, most of Shanhaiguan was under Li Qin's control.
Li Qin walked into He Xiuwu's residence, located in the center of Shanhaiguan, with a look of surprise on his face.
Although he tricked the gates of Shanhaiguan into opening with the imperial edict, he was also prepared for a bloody battle with the garrison inside the gates.
But everything is going too smoothly right now.
Although he received the original owner's memories, most of the original owner's memories were about following the original owner's father in battles on the border.
I never imagined that behind them, within the imperial court, military preparedness had become so lax.
You must know that Shanhaiguan was the shield of the capital.
He managed to take it so easily.
Li Qin then sat down in the seat where He Xiuwu had just been, looking at the fine wine in front of him.
I picked it up, shook it, and then put it down.
It is estimated that while his army was gathering outside Shanhaiguan, He Xiuwu, the garrison commander of Shanhaiguan, was drinking here.

Shanhaiguan is just a microcosm of the many cities in the heart of the imperial territory.
Now he finally understood why the rebels had been so unstoppable at the beginning of the An Lushan Rebellion in his previous life.
After all, in the heart of the empire, there had been no war for decades, and military preparedness had long since slackened.
Shortly afterward, soldiers reported that Shanhaiguan had been basically brought under control.
Those soldiers who attempted to resist were basically wiped out.
After hearing the soldier's report, Li Qin nodded in satisfaction.
He then had his personal guards bring out the map.
Their gaze swept across Shanhaiguan, which they had just captured, and then turned directly toward the capital.
Now there are no barriers between him and the capital.
Moreover, capturing Shanhaiguan opened up a path for him to enter the vast plains.
The vast plains were the perfect place for his cavalry to roam.
After scanning the area, Li Qin finally fixed his gaze on the capital.
