Few people knew about the Liu family's dispatch of troops.

But it is known that the eunuchs who sent troops to Beiyang could not stop him.

Half of the Imperial Guard is controlled by the Emperor, while the other half is in the hands of the eldest prince Shangguan Yi, who is powerful from his mother's family.

Most of the soldiers are still at the border.

Half of the soldiers under the Liu family's command were privately raised troops, and the other half were soldiers from Shengjing and Zhou Mo.

In terms of military strength, the Liu family is number one among all the forces and no one dares to say they are second.

This is also the reason why the Liu family's momentum is slightly greater than the other two forces in Shengjing.

The Liu family had a large number of troops, and not only did they send food and fodder first, they also sent out a hundred thousand troops at once.

But it is impossible for the Liu family to send troops alone, after all, the situation in Shengjing is unpredictable.

Their dispatch of troops resulted in failures in the rear, which was not worth the loss.

Therefore, Liu Dan's departure was a way for Shangguan Sheng'an to put pressure on the seriously ill emperor, which was a disguised way for the other two parties to send troops.

"We don't have much time to be awake. This time we are asked to conquer Anping and Beiyang. Should we go or not?"

Shangguan Yi was playing chess with an aide, and he seemed full of questions.

The aide sitting opposite Shangguan Yi was short and looked only ten years old.

He was wearing a Buddhist robe and had a red dot on his forehead.

He is a boy, eighteen years old.

Fasui's movements were leisurely, like a free-spirited cloud or wild crane.

He placed a piece, and the black pieces on the chessboard surrounded the white pieces.

Just one move put the white piece in a difficult situation.

Shangguan Yi frowned.

Fasui waited quietly:

"Whether it's black or white, it's up to you, Your Highness."

"What if I insist on doing this?"

Shangguan Yi thought for a long time before making a move.

The white side then counterattacked.

"Your Highness has already made up his mind to leave, so why ask me?"

Fasui said calmly:

"Beiyang, the Liu family wants it, and the emperor and Anping Mu Qing also want it.

This is just the surface.”

He stroked his robes:

"It's possible that Lord Jiao Neina and the Seventh Prince will intervene.

It is still unknown who will win, but outsiders cannot even touch the deer. "

After Fa Sui finished speaking, Shangguan Yi nodded.

Fasui spoke exactly what was in his mind.

Of course we have to send troops to Beiyang.

Although Shangguan Yi's troops were not as many as the Liu family's, he also had 70,000 soldiers.

The eunuchs managed to gather 30,000 militiamen.

Only the loyal camp headed by Fan Huifu did not send out troops.

They were all civil servants and did not hold any military power, nor could they directly recruit soldiers like eunuchs.

One is that they have no money, and the other is that they are on the emperor’s side.

All military power was in the hands of the unconscious emperor.

How dare they take this step?

Fan Huifu knew some of Anping's recent developments, and he naturally also knew about the powerful weapon.

In fact, Mu Qing didn't need to say it deliberately.

This news had already spread to Shengjing.

But not many people have any idea about this news.

After all, the emergence of explosives and flintlock rifles, especially the latter, in this era would have been postponed by at least several hundred years if there had been no interference from other countries.

They do not understand the power of thermal weapons, or rather, they do understand but their innate arrogance makes them extremely confident.

Fan Huifu did not take any action and made it clear that he would not participate in this operation.

In the end, the total number of soldiers heading to Beiyang reached 200,000.

The three teams were not in harmony with each other and basically went their separate ways.

Especially the Liu family, Liu Dan was afraid that the other two families would arrive in Beiyang before him.

Liu Dan led his troops on the journey overnight and this time arrived in Beiyang earlier than the other two parties.
