The two of them were in a hurry.

In the camp of Prince Lu, Chen Su called a confidant and said, "Eunuch Wang should be arriving in Mozhou soon."

"It will take only two days."

"Use a falcon to send an urgent secret letter to Eunuch Wang immediately!"

Outside Yuquan City, Mozhou, due to the long distance between Luzhou and Mozhou, Wang En could not reveal his identity, so he could only stay in the inn along the way during the day and travel at night.

It took more than a month to get to Mozhou. Just last night, Wang En received an urgent secret letter from Lu Wang Chen Su. The content of the letter made Wang En even more anxious.

"My lord, there is someone outside the mansion asking to see you, claiming to be Wang En, the chief eunuch of the imperial court!"

Li Yichen slowly put down his teacup and said thoughtfully: "Wang En? According to the news sent back by Ji Gang, Wang En had disappeared with the ninth prince Chen Yunxiu when Chen Li died. How could he suddenly come to Mozhou? Is he alone?"

"My lord, there are no other companions outside the mansion, only he is alone."

"Well, please invite him in. I want to see what Wang En wants to do by suddenly visiting me."

Jia Xu, who was standing aside, pondered for a moment and said to Li Yichen: "Wang En was Chen Li's most trusted confidant during his lifetime. If Chen Li had any arrangements before his death, Wang En must know the inside story."

Li Yichen nodded in agreement.

Soon, Wang En, covered in snow, walked into the main hall under the leadership of a Tiger Guard.

"I, Wang En, have met Chief Li Yichen. I haven't seen him for a long time. Chief Li Yichen is still as elegant as ever."

Wang En was very humble. Chen Su had told him that he must stabilize the Qin army no matter what and not interfere in the fight for the throne, not to mention that they now have other things to ask of Li Yichen.

"I don't know what's the important matter that Eunuch Wang suddenly came to visit?"

"I came to Mozhou to discuss two things with Chief Li. The first is that I hope Chief Li will not participate in the civil war in Beiting and wait and see. When the new emperor takes the throne, Chief Li will naturally benefit."

"The second thing is that the 600,000 Rouran troops are eyeing the Great Wilderness Pass. I hope the Qin army can send troops to relieve the danger of the Great Wilderness. If the Great Wilderness Pass is broken, the three states in the northern border will become a purgatory on earth. I have heard for a long time that Chief Li cares about the people and loves them like his own children. I hope the Qin army will not hesitate to help."

Li Yichen sneered: "Just relying on your eloquent mouth, you want me to fight for the court. Why?"

Wang En immediately took out a beautiful jade card made of white jade and said, "This is the highest-level deposit card of Beiting Tonghai Bank. As long as Chief Li holds this card, he can go to Tonghai Bank to exchange 2 billion taels of silver notes at any time. This is my little gift. When the civil war is over, the court will divide the seven states to the Qin army."

Li Yichen and Jia Xu looked at each other. Wang En was really sincere. The conditions he offered were not much less than those of the sixth prince Chen Yunque.

Li Yichen and Jia Xu began to communicate in a low voice. Wang En stood below with a very calm expression on his face, but in fact he was already anxious in his heart.

"I wonder which faction Eunuch Wang represents here!"

Wang En said calmly: "I represent His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince!"

Li Yichen nodded and pondered for a moment and said: "I accept Eunuch Wang's kindness. The Qin army will march soon to support the Great Wilderness Pass!"

Wang En breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Thank you, Chief Li. I have other important things to do, so I won't stay here any longer."

After Wang En left, a Jinyiwei came in again and said to Li Yichen: "My lord, I have asked someone to check. Wang En entered the city from the south, and it seems that he came from the southeast."

Li Yichen pondered for a moment and said: "Southeast, it seems that the Ninth Prince Chen Yunxiu The supporter behind him should be the Prince of Lu.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "The Southeast nobles are already the die-hard supporters of the Sixth Prince. It can't be them. The person entrusted by Chen Li is most likely the Prince of Lu, Chen Su."

"So it seems that the Prince of Lu supports Chen Yunfeng on the surface, but in fact he is paving the way for the Ninth Prince."

"Chen Li seems to be incompetent, but he made a brilliant move!"

The reason why Li Yichen agreed to Wang En's conditions so easily was actually after careful consideration. Now the situation in Beiting is clear. It is nothing more than the Sixth Prince Chen Yunque who is very cunning, the Third Prince Chen Yunxuan who is a puppet, the First Prince Chen Yunfeng who occupies Tingjing, and the Ninth Prince Chen Yunxiu who is hiding in the dark.

Everything is almost done.

After the surface, for the Qin army, if the Rouran enters the pass, it will inevitably cause great damage in Beiting, just like the Tatars in the past.

This is unacceptable to Li Yichen, who has long regarded Beiting as his own possession. In addition, the people of the three states in the northern border are now in panic, and the court is caught in civil strife and cannot spare any troops. If the Qin army comes to the rescue at this time, it will gain extremely high prestige in the hearts of the people of the three states in the northern border.

The only concern of Li Yichen is that once he sends troops, the sharp-minded Chen Yunque will doubt the motives of the Qin army, and the cooperation between the two parties will completely fall into a state of mutual suspicion.

The Qin army is currently equivalent to marrying a woman twice, receiving benefits from both sides. The difference is that the King of Lu did not ask the Qin army to participate in the civil war.

"My lord, north of the Chiyan Gobi Desert is the Changting Pass of the Rouran. We can attack Wei to save Zhao and send a large army to attack Changting Pass. Now that the Rouran has withdrawn the western army, the defense of Changting Pass must be weak. The Rouran will definitely come back to help after hearing the news."

"In addition, we can send cavalry troops to rush to Beihuang Pass. As long as the Rouran retreats, Qian Zhen will be completely doomed. Chen Yunque will surface and face Chen Yunfeng. Our Qin army can take advantage of the situation to withdraw and wait and see what happens. At the same time, we can also see what Chen Yunque will do. What is the trump card of Chen Yunque? "

After a moment of silence, Li Yichen slowly said: "Once the war starts, Chen Yunque will definitely get the news. If he asks us why the Qin army intervened, how should we respond? "

Jia Xu smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, just speak frankly. We promised to support Chen Yunque. As long as we don't intervene in other forces, he shouldn't turn against us. "

Five days later, the Qin army Tang army, led by Su Dingfang, came out in full force and took Changting Pass.

At the same time, Gongsun Zan, Xin Qiji, Hua Xiong, and Yang Zaixing led the White Horse Volunteers, Jingsai Iron Cavalry and a large number of Qin cavalry, a total of 60,000 people, and went straight to the Great Wilderness Pass.

The Rouran Changting Pass had less than 30,000 garrison troops, and a large number of troops had already been transferred to the Great Wilderness Pass. Under the full-scale attack of the Tang army, Changting Pass was broken in just two days.

When the news reached the Rouran royal court, Mu Yulie hurriedly dispatched 100,000 troops from the Western Army to rescue Changting Pass. After occupying Changting Pass, Su Dingfang did not advance rashly, but instead sent out a large number of small groups of soldiers, each with a thousand men, to constantly harass the Rouran tribes, making the Rouran people suffer.
