The day before the Ancestor Worship Festival, Xu Qing went up to Qixia Mountain, originally the site of Black Wind Village ruled by King Lin.
Li Gongpu was also there.
Since there was a possibility of danger, Xu Qing wouldn't hide it from his uncle. After all, the troops under him were nominally led by Li Gongpu.
There was no unauthorized troop movement, as Xu Qing had already procured the necessary permissions beforehand.
Li Gongpu had a thousand men under him; Xu Qing only transferred five hundred soldiers over. These five hundred soldiers were unimaginable even to other external commanders.
In reality, a typical commander often has less than thirty percent of the full troop strength under them.
During inspections, they temporarily hire extras to pass the official reviews, even borrowing uniforms from peers.
