People really don't want to work overtime in Daxia

Chapter 46 Conspiracy
The five people in the seats also stared at each other, as if they were waiting for who would take the last seat.

"Why aren't you here yet?" Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of War asked with an ugly face. At this time, it was almost an hour later than the agreed time.

"What's the hurry, don't wait, you're the one begging me now!" Qian Shangshu from the Ministry of Household Affairs replied angrily sitting opposite.

"I beg him? Say it again!" Zhao Shangshu pointed at Qian Shangshu's nose and cursed, "If your household department didn't have any money, I would have fought them a long time ago!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to escalate their scolding to the point of fighting, the other three hurriedly stood up and tried to smooth things over.

At this time, a man who looked like a housekeeper ran in and whispered in Qian Shangshu's ear.

Before they could say a few words, everyone was about to listen to something, when a strong man walked in, everyone was confused, they didn't know who it was.

"Oh!" Qian Shangshu stood up to greet the visitor and took the visitor's hand to the empty seat. "You must be the envoy of General Helian Zhonglin. I'm glad to meet you!"

As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people straightened their backs and stood aside with respectful faces.

"Shangshu, this time I am here for peace talks on behalf of my general!" The envoy looked around, "Hey, why are there only five Shangshu, who is absent?"

Qian Shangshu explained with a smile, "What is missing is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He has not appeared in the court for several years. He is too old!"

The envoy nodded and said arrogantly, "General Helian said that as long as you open the city gate and surrender, you will still be the minister!"

As soon as these words came out, many people felt at ease. Now it seems that they can keep their official positions.

Zhao Shangshu frowned and asked, "Does Goryeo also need the Sixth Ministry and the Sixth Ministry's officials?"

The envoy shook his head and said with a smile, "No, no, how is it possible, you are still famous, but don't worry about your salary, according to your current salary, it will not be less at all!"

Everyone's face turned dark when these words came out. The result of opening the city gate and surrendering was to be imprisoned and given a monthly salary?Everyone understands in their hearts that the important thing is not the salary, but the power!

"Which one is the Minister of War?"

Zhao Shangshu said lightly, "Old man is!"

"Well, this Shangshu will just give all the troops under his command to our general later on. You can go home and have a good rest!"

"Huh? What do you mean, your general plans to take Daxia soldiers to capture Daxia's land?"

"How could it be?" the envoy said with a smile, "The combat effectiveness of Daxia's soldiers is obvious to all. Using them will delay our general's capture of Daxia."

"However, those soldiers can follow our Goryeo army and be responsible for carrying things, lighting fires and cooking, and other chores!"

At this time, Zhao Shangshu said with an ugly expression, "This is different from what I said before!"

The envoy smiled and said, "Last time our Korean army only took Yuyang, but this time our Korean army is approaching the city!"

The words were said with a smile, but they were full of momentum, and everyone was suppressed by these words.

In Hutou Valley on the other side, Yu Qing was inspecting the defense while walking.

"My lord, my lord!" A soldier in white robes ran over, "My lord, all the generals have gathered in the camp!"

Yu Qing nodded, and everyone had been waiting for a long time in the Chinese army tent in the middle of the camp.

"What happened recently?" Yu Qing leaned on the table and asked in doubt.

"Reporting to my lord, the imperial capital is being attacked by the Goryeo army!"

"What? It's impossible, right? Dare Helian Zhonglin's people attack the imperial capital?"

Bai Yunhua nodded and said, "Yes, there are a lot of people transporting troops and food to and from the highway recently. A few days ago, a large group of people went to the imperial capital too late at night!"

Yu Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "How long do you think the emperor can guard?"

"So many people don't last a month?"

"No, no, I think if you start in three months, you might be able to survive until winter!"

"How many people are there in the camp of the imperial capital? I guess I can guard it until next year!"

Yu Qing shook his head with a smile and said, "Your guesses are wrong. If you ask me to guess, it will break within five days!"

Everyone was full of disbelief, but Shen Guan suddenly realized that he and others neglected the most important things.

"Traitor!"

Since ancient times, it has been a small city that has really been broken. If a big city is broken, there must be traitors. Otherwise, if the walls are high and there are many soldiers, how can ordinary people succeed?
"Whether we fight against the imperial capital or not, we at Tiger Head Valley have to help out!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone got excited. Is this going to be a war?A group of people with military backgrounds huddled together in a valley. They were almost driven crazy. They went to the mountains to hunt game every day to refresh themselves. Now there are almost no living animals near Hutou Valley!
"Brother, do you mean that we strike from behind the Goryeo army? Then we attack Helian Zhonglin from behind with the Imperial Capital!" Li Shu felt very excited just thinking about it.

Everyone was eager to try, but Yu Qing shook his head.

"You guys are stupid. If we go to the imperial capital, we will be easily eaten by Helian Zhonglin. I don't believe that the emperor will send troops to wipe out the Goryeo army with us!"

Yu Qing's words seemed to have poured cold water on everyone, and they all woke up instantly.

Yu Qing pointed to a place on the map and said, "We want to take this place!" The point of his finger was Dingbei Pass!

At this time, everyone knew that Yu Qing had always wanted to settle Beiguan, and saw that Yu Qing's fingers had been slicing Zhengbeiguan to Yuyang!

"The ultimate goal is to capture Yuyang!" Yu Qing paused for a moment and said, "As long as we don't interfere with the Goryeo army to attack the imperial capital, they won't destroy us!"

After a night of planning, Yu Qing, Li Shu, Bai Yunhua and three others led a thousand white-robed troops and the remaining recruits straight to Dingbeiguan.

As night fell, there was still a suspension bridge at Dingbei Pass, but none of the suspension bridges were raised.

In fact, among the three passes, Dingbeiguan is the only pass with a suspension bridge and moat. It is truly easy to defend and difficult to attack. I really don’t know why the defender surrendered directly and handed over Dingbeiguan.

Koryo soldiers gathered in twos and threes on the city wall. The torches were no longer very bright and no one replaced them.

Looking at this scene, Yu Qing thought to himself, this is God's plan to set Beiguan for me!
With a wave of his hand, he saw a few white-robed soldiers carrying something across the suspension bridge and arriving at the gate.

The object in his arms is the gunpowder bag that Yu Qing and others reproduced in the research institute. Although it cannot be thrown, it is still a good choice for blowing up the door!

Several soldiers piled the gunpowder bags at the city gate, and lit the gunpowder bags with a "whoosh" sound. Then they ignited the gunpowder bags and quickly hid aside.

The fuse of the gunpowder pack burned very quickly, and after a while, there was a loud "bang" sound.
