The two tables of diners mentioned by the young eunuch should not be those arranged by Qiao Gui.

If it was someone arranged by Qiao Gui himself, why should he stop him?

Moreover, Eunuch Cui hasn't sent him any news yet, and he has already tricked the emperor to Qingbiankou and pretended that the emperor was in danger. What if Lu Hong has already sent the imperial guards out of the capital to find the emperor, and Lu Hong just happened to save the emperor and become famous? Then all his efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, Su Fengyi judged that the two tables of diners must be baits arranged by Liu An.

Su Fengyi asked the young eunuch:

"How many people did your master bring?"

The young eunuch covered his throat, feeling pain and fear, and sobbed without being able to reply.

Wutong slapped him twice in the face and shouted:

"The master asked you a question, answer it!"

The young eunuch was frightened by the beating. He held his throat with one hand and held his swollen cheek with the other. He dared not cry anymore and quickly replied:

"Including Lord Qiao, there were about thirty people in total, all of them went."

Qiao Gui brought more than thirty Dongchang servants as guards, and the bait arranged by Liu An still dared to take the emperor away, which showed that Liu An was very confident in the people he arranged.

Either they have a large number of people or they have strong fighting power. No matter which one, the dozen or so people Su Fengyi is leading now are not enough to rescue the emperor.

There are many postmen in the post station, but they can be used to take care of horses. They are not qualified to go to the battlefield to rescue the emperor. Taking them with you will not only cause trouble but also alert the enemy.

At this time, the postmaster who had just been awakened had reached the third floor. He was shocked to see the situation of knives and guns in the room. This superior from the capital was too domineering. It was just a fight for a house to live in, but why did it cause bloodshed?

For the postmaster, it doesn’t matter who wins or loses between the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, as long as small figures like them are not implicated.

Moreover, there must not be any murder-related lawsuits in the post stations under his jurisdiction.

The postmaster saw that Su Fengyi was the one in charge, so he tried to smooth things over and said:

"Hello, Shangguan. My surname is Qian. Since you like this house, I will arrange it for you right away."

Su Fengyi asked the postmaster:

"Master Qian, what's going on in Xuanfu now?"

Xuanfu was a war zone, and Jimingyi was close to Xuanfu. It was also a post station responsible for conveying information. If there was any movement, Jimingyi would be able to receive it.

Seeing that Su Fengyi was not bothered about where to live, but asked about the business instead, Qian Yicheng hurriedly said:

"I don't deserve it. I am just a lowly official. How can I be called an elder? Your Excellency, are you going to Xuanfu to do some work? The northern barbarians surrounded Xuanfu a few days ago and fought fiercely. Your Excellency, I am afraid you can't get in. Now is a good time to go to Xuanfu.

I heard that due to the death of General Shen due to illness, starting today, the little prince of the Northern Tartars will cease fighting for three days to pay tribute to General Shen, to show his respect for General Shen. Even the soldiers besieging the city have been withdrawn, and they have retreated ten miles.

Shangguan, if you take advantage of this truce to go to Xuanfu, you will definitely be able to get in. I know there is a small path in the back mountain of Xuanfu that leads into the city, so I can send someone to lead the way for Shangguan and give him a helping hand. "

Qian Yichen was afraid of Su Fengyi and his group. He couldn't afford to offend them, but he couldn't hide from them either. So he might as well send them away as soon as possible.

Su Fengyi would naturally send someone to Xuanfu.

Firstly, no matter whether the emperor is now in Liu An's hands or in the hands of the little prince of the Northern Tartars, General Shen must be informed as soon as possible in order to take precautions.

Secondly, in the current situation, if we want to raise an army to rescue the emperor, Xuanfu is only twenty miles away from Qingbiankou, and is the most suitable place to send troops.

As for the memorial service held by the little prince of Beilu, Su Fengyi didn't believe it at all. General Shen was the murderer of the little prince of Beilu's father. How could he be so kind?

Maybe she was using a strategy of opening her troops and making concealed moves. If she were the little prince of the Northern Tartars, she would definitely withdraw her troops openly during the day to paralyze the people of Xuanfu, and then attack the city in one fell swoop at night when it was quiet and the guards of Xuanfu were lax.

Su Fengyi borrowed paper and pen from Qian Yicheng's study and wrote a short letter to General Shen, reporting on the current situation and asking General Shen to take precautions and send troops to rescue him. Then he sent two smart soldiers, followed by the postman arranged by Qian Yicheng, to Xuanfu to deliver the letter overnight.

After the soldiers who delivered the letter left, Su Fengyi went to ask Qian Yicheng for a map of the area near Qingbiankou. Seeing that the Buddha had not left, Qian Yicheng looked sad:

"I dare not deceive my superiors. I am of low rank and I am only in charge of this small post station. Maps are precious and they are military property. I really don't have them. If you want maps, you need to ask the state government for them."

The provincial capital is too far away from here, and there is no time left. Su Fengyi did not bother to ask for a detailed map, and said:

"If you have county annals, please bring them to me."

County annals are common things. Qian Yicheng actually has them. He actually found a copy of the Xuanfu County Annals for Su Fengyi.

Although there is a map of Qingbiankou in the county annals of Xuanfu, the mountains and rivers are only for illustration and not very accurate. Su Fengyi does not want accuracy either. She opened the county annals, turned to the page of Qingbiankou, pointed to a certain place and said:

"We need to be able to hide and escape quickly to the outside of the Great Wall if something goes wrong. There is only this mountain pass. Sir Qian, can you lend me one or two people who are familiar with the terrain of Qingbiankou to accompany us to explore?"

. . . . . .

At the same time, the meeting room of the Xuanfu General's Mansion was packed with fully armed generals. They were gathered in front of the sand table, listening to General Shen arranging a pre-war deployment meeting.

General Shen pointed to a mountain pass at Qingbiankou, which was exactly the same place Su Fengyi had described.

General Shen said:

"The little prince of the Northern Tartars retreated during the day. If I were him, I would attack the city tonight when it is quiet and the hour of Yin is the best.

The little prince of the Northern Tartars has been attacking the South Gate with heavy troops for three consecutive days in order to paralyze us. So tonight, he will launch a surprise attack on the North Gate. If he fails, he will escape from Qingbiankou and return to Mobei.

Lao Yan, have you arranged the ambush at Qingbiankou?"

General Yan had been waiting for General Shen for many days, and today he finally waited for General Shen to return. Late in the night, he smiled so hard that his big white teeth were exposed, and the white light was so dazzling that it hurt people's eyes.

General Yan laughed like thunder:

"Didn't he retreat ten miles? If I don't accept such a great gift, wouldn't I be wasting his kindness? As soon as he retreated, I arranged the ambush troops out of the city. Naturally, everything was arranged properly, hahahaha."

General Shen then asked another General Qiu:

"General Qiu, have you arranged everything regarding the North Gate?"

General Qiu was originally General Sun's deputy general and a subordinate of General Sun. What was rare was that he was a deputy general who rose to power not by giving money but by his ability to fight.

When the news of General Shen's death came this day, General Sun took advantage of General Yan's inattention and ran away with his men. Halfway through his run, he ran into General Shen who was returning to Xuanfu alone. General Shen chopped him in half with an axe on the spot and cut him up for a sacrifice to the heaven.

General Qiu originally thought that as the deputy general of General Sun, he would be implicated, but he did not expect that General Shen would not stick to one pattern to promote talents. Not only did he not demote his position, but he also handed such an important task to him. He said excitedly:

"Don't worry, General. I have already taken care of it."

General Shen took the map and laughed:

"Okay, okay, okay, with everyone's help, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things!"

At the hour of Yin, when Xuanfu was completely silent, the little prince of the Northern Tartars launched a surprise attack at night, and sent all his troops to attack the north gate.
