I really can't control myself

The troops led by Linton arrived at the meeting point near Qiu Town very smoothly, so smoothly that it was almost unbelievable.

Because Linton and his troops had almost no detours, theoretically their whereabouts should have been discovered long ago. How could a cavalry force of 10,000 people, more or less, not be discovered at all?

In fact, they did not intentionally march in secret, nor did they say anything about killing them immediately if they were discovered.

Maybe it was just such "calmness" that prevented anyone from becoming suspicious.

Yes, many people from Linton's troops actually saw it, but no one cared about it. The reason no one cares about this is because they all think they know what it is.

Isn't this where the imperial court is gathering troops in Qiu Town? Troops from all over the country are gathering there now. Before Linton and the others, many troops had already passed nearby.

As for why they didn't investigate clearly, isn't this a mistake?

Before Linton's troops came, they really wanted to conduct a serious investigation when they encountered a large army. As a result, not only were the army members arrogant and rude to them, they even took action. However, the people above are obviously leaning towards the army, saying that they have delayed military and state affairs, and even want to punish them.

Isn't this an order from Emperor Li Qing? All troops rushed to the gathering place as soon as possible without any delay. Because it is true that Li Ying sent troops very quickly this time, the emperor immediately wanted to gather troops to destroy the opponent. If the troops who came to gather were delayed by interrogation along the way, how long would this matter be delayed?

Secondly, it is true that no one expected that Linton's force was the rebel force they were going to deal with. After all, the only thing that counts is an army of 10,000 people. You don't want to use these 10,000 people to fight the 400,000 people over there. You don't want to die like this.

So everyone agreed that Linton and the others were the troops going to join together.

Xu Jing, who discovered this, kept following this statement along the way, indicating that they were the troops from Jitang City to the east and were going to join the large army.

This statement obviously has very big loopholes, but it is surprisingly smooth. Someone did come to inquire, but it was a very simple inquiry with no intention of going into details. Even when Xu Jing encountered a question that he couldn't answer, he pretended to be impatient and cursed and hit others, saying that they were delaying the military, but the other party really avoided it.

Li Ying once again admired Linton's plan of "hiding the truth from the truth". He once again expressed that Linton's plan was really a clever one and everything had been settled long ago.

Linton said that if he could have a question mark on his head, he would have already gained a lot, okay? He really didn't understand.

You said that no one cares about the people below. The God of War Li Jinglong must have received news about their army. With a slight understanding of the situation, he should have noticed something was wrong. He didn't have the least bit of vigilance?

At this time, Li Jinglong, the uncle of the Fourteenth Emperor, had indeed received news of the appearance of Linton's troops. Of course he would not have thought that this army was actually the army of their enemy Cheng Wang Li Ying, but he did not expect for a while which army came to join them.

There were so many troops coming to join them recently that he was a little overwhelmed.

Yes, before this, although Li Jinglong had been in the army for many years, he had never led such a large army.

The most he had ever led before was more than 20,000 troops, but this time, the number jumped to more than 400,000.

Obviously, an army of this size made him somewhat stretched. The coordination of this level of army was completely different from the situation he had led before.

When there were 20,000 people before, he was the only commander-in-chief. Basically, just shout to the soldiers to attack wherever they go.

But this is obviously not the case now. The first thing he has to do is to coordinate the various military towns.

Because troops from all over the country were assembled, there were more and less troops from various places, and the organization was all kinds of chaos. First, sorting out these arrangements is what he, the marshal, should do. But Li Jinglong had no experience in this area and had never led so many soldiers.

There were various intricate relationships among the commanders leading troops in various places, and Li Jinglong also dealt with them in a very awkward manner.

For example, when the news about Linton's troops came, Li Jinglong was dealing with more difficult matters and could not spare any energy to manage the 10,000 troops.

The matter Li Jinglong is dealing with comes from two princes. Both of these two princes are military generals, and both are feudal officials of the imperial court. Both of them are knighted for military merit and come from a family of military generals.

These two are Duke Yao Zhang Chun and Duke Shu Gu Jingteng. Their situation is similar to that of Ma Yixiong, the lord of Yongjin City who was killed by Linton before.

The troops under these two men are also very large. Both sides brought 70,000 to 80,000 people to gather here. In total, more than 100,000 people already accounted for one-third of the coalition forces. Judging from the priorities, it is obvious that the affairs of these hundreds of thousands of people are much more important than the 10,000 troops on Linton's side.

The reason why Li Jinglong is in so much trouble right now is because the Duke of Yao, Zhang Chun, and the Duke of Shu, Gu Jingteng, have a personal grudge, and it is a very big grudge. This hatred is called the hatred of killing one's son.

Speaking of which, Gu Jingteng and Zhang Chun were close friends at the beginning because they had served in the same military camp. Both of them were born as generals, and they both started their training as junior officers in the military camp. Both of them also have abilities, and they can be said to be sympathetic to each other, even to the level of brothers of the opposite sex who are not sworn sworn brothers.

Afterwards, although the two of them achieved military exploits and were promoted and separated, their love has always remained. Until the end, the two suddenly felt that since their relationship was so good, they might as well just get married.

Unexpectedly, this knot caused a big problem.

Since these two people really wanted to get married, it was naturally impossible for them to find someone to get married to, such as a concubine or a concubine. Of course, they had to be direct children.

Several of Zhang Chun's legitimate children were already engaged. The only one who did not have an engagement was his youngest son who was only 6 years old at the time. Zhang Chun liked this little son very much, so he asked Gu Jingteng if there was anyone suitable.

Gu Jingteng has a 9-year-old daughter who is a legitimate daughter and is three years older than Zhang Chun's son. However, Zhang Chun didn't care at all, saying that it was a good thing to be older, so he nodded directly, and the marriage was settled.

Neither party expected that this marriage would directly lead to a catastrophe.
