Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 525 I can't bear it anymore!

The relationship between   Ping Nanjun and the survivors of Nanshu was so complicated that even their parties could not tell who owed whom, or who helped whom.

  These events in the southwest are passed down to later generations, and most of the history books will leave such a few words.

   The Pingnan Army has been entrenched in the southwest for more than 30 years, and it is suspected that it has colluded with the remnants of the old Southern Han Dynasty.

   Now these 100,000 households of Nanshu survivors, if there is no accident, do not even have the qualifications to enter the history books.

   But now they have.

   This "rebel" in Li Xin's mouth, as long as it can get out of the city of Hanzhou, it will become a highlight in the Taikang period of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, and it may be worth writing dozens of words by later historians.

After    finished the harsh words, Mu Ying took people back to Mu's house in Hanzhou City.

   In the Mu family's house, the former grand highness Li Xing and the Mu family's patriarch Mu Qing were all quietly waiting for Mu Ying to return in the study.

After Mu Ying entered the house, she changed her armor, changed into ordinary clothes, sat down next to the two of them, and said slowly, "Father, Your Highness, I have already told the people of Pingnan Army. Now, leave Hanzhou in three days."

   Mu Qing nodded, but did not speak.

   His Highness Li Xing, who was drinking tea by the side, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "Brother Mu really want to lead the troops to leave Hanzhou City in three days?"

   "Not necessarily three days."

Mu Ying smiled: "Leading troops to fight, how can you say what? I'm waiting for news from Mianzhu. If there is news tomorrow, we will leave tomorrow, and if there is news in five days, we will leave in five days. ."

Li Xing was silent for a while, and finally took a deep look at Mu Ying and said, "Brother Mu, since this person has been handed over to you, I shouldn't ask any more questions, it's no problem for you to come up with Hanzhou, but I I don't think you can bring all the troops out."

He said solemnly: "There are still 100,000 households of our common people in Hanzhou, and there are also many orphans of former Southern Han officials in the city of Hanzhou. You took everyone away, although the momentum is huge, Li Shen and the others may not necessarily I can stop you, but if Pingnan vents his anger after the military and wants to slaughter the city of Hanzhou, we will not have a single soldier left in Hanzhou, what can we do?"

To be honest, this kind of interjection after the handover of power is very unpleasant, but what Li Xing said is true. Hanzhou is not far from the edge of Jincheng. If all the 50,000 "rebels" go out, then On the Hanzhou side, the old Nanshu almost lost all combat power. At that time, the Pingnan Army wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, and the city of Hanzhou would immediately bleed.

   Mu Ying frowned, then turned to look at his father, and seeing that there was no response from his father, he asked Li Xing, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do?"

   "Leave at least 20,000 people to guard Hanzhou City."

   Li Xing muttered: "Let's go to Li Xin for the sake of survival, we can't put the cart before the horse. In order to survive, we must destroy our foundation first, right?"

  Mu Ying's father was no longer silent at this time. He said, "His Royal Highness is right. You can't take all of these 50,000 people away. You have to keep some people for us to protect ourselves."

   When these two spoke together, they were not discussing with Mu Ying.

  Although Mu Ying doesn't have a lot of heart, at this time, he also understood what kind of tacit understanding this former highness had reached with his father when he was not in Hanzhou City, and he nodded shyly.

   "Then according to His Highness, leave some people in Hanzhou."

   "But 20,000 people are too many."

Mu Ying lowered her eyebrows and said: "We are going to Mianzhu, Mianzhu is not too far from Hanzhou, and 10,000 people are left to defend the city. If the Pingnan Army really wants to do this kind of inferior thing, I will return immediately. Military support, 10,000 defenders will be enough to support me until I come back."

  Li Xing didn't agree immediately. He turned to look at Mu Qing, whose hair and beard were turning white, and said, "Uncle Mu Shi, what do you think?"

   "Your Highness."

   Mu Qing still respected Li Xing. He bowed his head and clasped his fists respectfully, and said, "The old man also thought that 10,000 people would be enough, but more weapons should be kept in Hanzhou."

"If the Pingnan Army really wants to attack Hanzhou, we can support 10,000 people for a long time, plus we still have 100,000 old families of the old Nanhan. If something goes wrong in Hanzhou, as long as there is a knife If there are guns, it is not a problem to temporarily pull 10,000 or 20,000 people out."

  Although Mu Qing has to take care of Li Xing's opinion, but Mu Ying is his own son after all, the question of right and wrong is that old Mu can still understand.

  The father and son were unanimous, but Li Xing had no choice. He could only sigh and stand up to give the father and son a deep sigh.

   "The Li family is incompetent, lost the country and lost their land. Today, there are only 100,000 households left in the old Han Dynasty. Their lives and wealth, Li Xing is unable to take care of them, and they are all entrusted to the wise father and son."

   This kind of gift, Mu Qing naturally refused to accept it, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to support Li Xing.

   "What are you doing, Your Highness? The old man is ruined..."

   In comparison, Mu Ying was much calmer. He stood up slowly and gave Li Xing a nod.

   "Don't worry, Your Highness, this time, it is those of us who lost our country to bet in the village. It's just that the gambler has become our Mu family from His Royal Highness. If the bet loses, the Mu family will bear the brunt and are willing to take any responsibility."

  Li Xing looked serious and bowed in return.

   "It's all up to Brother Shi."

   After saying this, the Great Highness turned around and left the Mu family.

   Mu Qing personally escorted him out, and then returned to the study. At this time, Mu Ying, who is the "General", was still drinking tea with a calm expression.

   Mu Qing opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, she just sat down and sighed.

   "After all, he is a clan, and those who should be respected in front of him should be respected."

Mu Ying is usually a very filial son, no matter what Mu Qing said, he nodded and agreed, but this time something was different, he reached out and poured a cup of tea for Mu Qing, and then said word by word: "Dad, Nan The Han subjugated the country... more than 30 years!"

   "It wasn't my grandfather who rescued His Royal Highness King Min from Jincheng. The Li family's clan has already been wiped out."

   He looked directly at his father for the first time.

   "According to my opinion, giving this Highness a bite to eat is just for the sake of the old country lord's face, but if he continues to ride on our necks and point fingers, my son will be a little out of sight."

   Mu Qing stared.

   "The fact that you can bring so many people with you now was given to you by His Royal Highness!"

   "That's what my grandfather gave to His Royal Highness King Min."

Mu Ying said in a sullen voice: "Besides, this is not what he, Li Xing, gave me, but the Lord of Jing'an who negotiated with him in person. Reining the horse on the cliff, we can only throw the reins to our Mu family, and we have the current situation!"

   "My son could have been a high-ranking official in the capital, and a horse could be ridden, thanks to his original credit. As long as he doesn't rebel, it's not a problem to be a third- or fourth-rank official when he gets old."

   "My son gave up his official position in the capital and took over this mess from Li Xing. Because I am also from Nanshu, I don't have many complaints."

   Having said that, this black-faced "General Mu" gritted his teeth.

   "But after Li Xing let go of it, he wanted to point fingers at the side, and the son couldn't bear it anymore!"
