Li Qin glanced at Wanyan Gun kneeling before his horse, his eyes sweeping over him. He didn't immediately dismount, but paused for a moment before helping Wanyan Gun to his feet and saying:
"Nephew, where is my 'good brother'?"
"Uncle, please come with me. My father is inside the main tent."
As he spoke, Wanyan Gun bent down and stepped forward to lift the tent flap for Li Qin.
Looking at Wanyan Gun, Li Qin smiled, noting how much he resembled his father.
Then Li Qin took the riding whip and glanced at one of his followers.
The "attendant" also looked up and respectfully returned the glance.
He then led them straight into the tent.
After Wanyan Gun respectfully escorted Li Qin and the others inside,
He also bent over and followed them inside.
He knew that he absolutely could not afford to offend Li Qin right now.
Li Qin's army has now taken control of the entire Jurchen camp.
He was the butcher, and he himself had become the fish on the chopping block.
He must show him sufficient loyalty.
To make him feel at ease, you need to reduce his wariness of you as much as possible.
This would maximize the likelihood that he would hand over the Jurchen army to himself.
After Li Qin entered the main tent with his attendants and personal guards, he immediately saw Wanyan Jian lying unconscious on the bed.
Upon seeing Wanyan Jian unconscious on the bed, Li Qin immediately threw the horsewhip in his hand at the servant next to him.
He walked up to Wanyan Jian and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
I will lead a large army to eliminate the treacherous officials, and you, brother, will lead the Jurchen army to assist me.
Who would have thought that before all the treacherous officials were eliminated, you would meet with misfortune first.
As Li Qin spoke, his eyes swept over the many servants who had gathered around.
Among the many attendants he brought with him were several highly skilled military doctors whom he had carefully selected.
It was so that they could come and see it together.
Let's see how Wanyan Jian is doing.
How much longer will he have? Will he wake up again?
Upon hearing what Li Qin said to his father, Wanyan Jian, Wanyan Gun immediately walked respectfully to Li Qin's side and said:
"Uncle, my father..."
Li Qin saw Wanyan Gun approaching, before he could finish speaking.
They immediately pulled him over and said to Wanyan Jian:
"Brother, don't worry, my nephew and I will definitely lead your tens of thousands of Jurchen troops to avenge you."
Now that you have met with misfortune, those generals below dare to bully your young nephew.
Now that I'm here, you can rest assured that no one will dare to bully your nephew.
Now, in the Jurchen army, who dares not take my nephew seriously?
I've made up my mind.
Let my nephew take command of the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops you left behind.
I can understand my nephew's desire to avenge you.
Therefore, I have decided that next time we attack the capital, I will personally lead a large army to support my nephew.
"Let your nephew lead your Jurchen army as the vanguard to attack the capital and avenge you."
After Li Qin finished speaking with a sincere expression,
Wanyan Gun, who had just been interrupted halfway through his sentence, immediately froze with a smile.
He was overjoyed when he heard Li Qin say that he would hand over tens of thousands of Jurchen troops to him.
But when he heard that Li Qin had ordered him to lead tens of thousands of Jurchen troops as the vanguard in a fierce attack on the capital...
His smile immediately froze.
A full-scale attack on the capital?
Still want to be a pioneer?
Some time ago, they launched a strong attack on the capital, but suffered considerable casualties.
However, the defenses of the capital remained unshaken.
Especially that secret weapon in the capital.
It is extremely powerful.
His makeshift siege equipment couldn't even get close.
Although there wasn't enough time, they hadn't yet built large-scale siege equipment like cloud ladders.
Even if they painstakingly built large siege weapons like cloud ladders, they couldn't get close to the capital before being destroyed by enemy artillery fire.
If they launch a full-scale attack, they will have to carry ladders to do so.
This was tantamount to sending their Jurchen army into a terrifying meat grinder.
Even if he captures the capital, how many of his Jurchen troops will be left?
Looking at Wanyan Gun, who was frozen in place.
Li Qin also stepped forward, shook his hand, and said:
“Nephew, I know you were overjoyed to learn that you could lead a large army to avenge your father.”
I believe you will succeed in this battle.
After hearing Li Qin's words, Wanyan Gun could nod with difficulty and force a smile.
At the same time, he looked at his father, who was lying unconscious in bed.
If his father were still conscious, he would have tens of thousands of powerful Jurchen troops at his command.
He was fully capable of rebelling against Li Qin.
If Li Qin wanted them to be the vanguard, they had every right to break ties with him.
But now...
The entire Jurchen camp was in Li Qin's hands.
We are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board.
Wanyan Gun could only nod, forcing a smile as he showed gratitude to Li Qin for giving him the opportunity to avenge his father.
There's no other way. Let's figure out a way to get control of tens of thousands of troops first.
Li Qin took in his stiff expression.
Li Qin couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Do you think I can let your tens of thousands of Jurchen troops return to Liaodong alive?
It's important to understand that the focus going forward will definitely be on the interior of the pass.
They competed with the governors, generals, and lords within the pass who held military power.
They simply didn't have the resources to attend to Liaodong.
He would absolutely not allow such a powerful army as yours to return to Liaodong and threaten his utterly vulnerable Liaodong.
Even after you capture the capital, you will still have a considerable number of people left.
When we go to war with the armies of the various governors of Wu, I will need you all to be the vanguard.
You all share only one fate: that he would die fighting on the Central Plains for his cause.
None of them will be able to return to their hometowns outside the Great Wall alive.
Li Qin looked at Wanyan Jian, who was lying on the bed beside him, seriously injured and unconscious.
He couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.
Wanyan Jian's lifelong dedication and hard work to build up his career ultimately benefited him.
Li Qin helped Wanyan Gun out of the tent.
Li Qin said to Wanyan Gun beside him, "Where are those Jurchen generals? Bring them over and let's take a look."
Wanyan Gun was taken aback by Li Qin's words, but he still obediently waved to his personal guards.
Immediately afterwards, Wanyan Gun's personal guards pressed forward on the numerous Jurchen generals.
At this moment, many of the Jurchen generals who had been brought forward looked at Wanyan Gun and Li Qin with hatred.
For his own benefit, Wanyan Gun conspired with Li Qin to betray tens of thousands of Jurchen troops, allowing Li Qin to send in a large army and strip them of their military power.
He took control of the entire Jurchen camp, turning tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers into fish on Li Qin's chopping board.
In fact, it wasn't just these generals who were dissatisfied with Wanyan Gun; many of the generals who were bowing their heads were also dissatisfied with him.
Li Qin could see their expressions clearly.
What Li Qin wanted was their dissatisfaction with Wanyan Gun.
