Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 582 Dare to bet?

   These people from the Taiyi Palace of Zhongnan Mountain are not well understood by Li Xin at present. He needs to send someone to confirm whether these people are serious Taoist priests, and then it is possible to carry out the next step of cooperation.

   But at present, Li Xin desperately needs the medicinal materials from these people. Even if it is an expedient measure, it will not hurt Li Xin to agree for the time being.

   So he should come down.

After    promised the old Taoist, Li Xin left him to Zhao Jia to deal with, and asked Zhao Jia to be responsible for connecting with these people from Taiyi Palace, and then set off on his own to go to Jincheng.

   At this time, Ye Mao and others left, and it had been a day and a half. Li Xin hurried to Jincheng at this time, and could barely catch up with their large army.

   Zhao Jia took Li Xin all the way to the door of Mianzhu, then lowered his head somewhat cautiously and said, "Master Hou, these Taoist priests...if it was...the one who sent them?"

   The one he was talking about was the Son of Heaven.

Li Xin smiled dumbly and said: "Brother You An, don't worry, even if it was sent from above, I told the court at that time that it was just an expedient measure to treat the wounded soldiers, and I had to use the name of Zhenren Chunyang. Chunyang Zhenren is merciful and good-natured, and he certainly doesn't mind that we use his name to accept a junior brother."

   "I will send someone to Zhongnan Mountain to verify these so-called Taiyi Palace people. Now Brother You'an just needs to keep an eye on them and let them treat the wounded soldiers in the city. Brother You'an doesn't have to worry about other things."

   Zhao Jia nodded and said, "Subordinates obey."

   Li Xin got on his horse and left with dozens of personal guards.

   Zhao county magistrate looked back at the smiling old Taoist priest Yiyangzi, and took a deep breath.

   "Old Taoist priest, where is your disciple?"

   "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, Pindao let them come over immediately."

  …………

Ye Mao walked a day before Li Xin, and Li Xin was held back by the old Taoist for a long time. By the time he set off, it was almost noon, but fortunately, they were all light and fast, and Ye Mao's office The troops were basically foot soldiers. Li Xin had traveled for a day, and by the afternoon of the next day, he had already joined Ye Mao.

  The young master came over enthusiastically and welcomed Li Xin into the handsome tent. After Li Xin entered the handsome tent, he sat on the main seat and asked Ye Mao, "How far is it from Jincheng?"

  Ye Mao lowered his head to estimate and said, "It's about sixty or seventy miles away. By tonight, it will be able to advance to twenty miles near Jincheng."

  Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't go forward yet, just stop here and set up camp."

  Ye Mao hesitated for a moment, then said, "General, it's only afternoon. Let's go faster. We can reach Jincheng near Jincheng when it's dark. There's no need to delay another day..."

   Lord Jingan frowned slightly.

   "If you want to go, you can go. No one can tell what the situation in Jincheng is now. Let's rush to Jincheng City. If they set up an ambush, we don't even have time to react."

   Ye Mao nodded, bent over and clasped his fists: "The last general is going to arrange camp."

   When he was about to retreat, Li Xin suddenly called to him.

   "Ye Mao, do you believe me or not?"

  The young master smiled honestly: "What did the uncle say, what did the uncle say along the way, what is the reason for the nephew not to believe the uncle?"

Li Xin nodded and said solemnly: "You just believe me, if we enter Jincheng, you can do whatever I say, don't have any doubts, if there is something you can't figure out, wait until the Southwest War is over. , I'll explain it to you, okay?"

   Ye Mao raised his head and glanced at Li Xin.

   He lowered his eyebrows and said, "My uncle's words, nephew wrote down."

The Marquis of Jing'an took a deep breath, patted the big man on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "If you believe me, I will not harm you. If you don't want to believe me completely, then attacking Jincheng this time will not hurt you. It's up to me to direct, how to do it, little master, you choose."

Ye Mao didn't hesitate, he smiled and said: "Master's words are too foreign, my father and grandfather have explained to me before coming here, no matter what happens along the way, I will listen to my master, even if I enter Jincheng, master Let me let Li Shen go, and I will have nothing to say."

   Li Xin nodded.

   "Don't worry, I caught Li Shen, I won't cover him up, I'll **** him to the capital to be punished."

   "Okay, these are the aftermath after the city is broken, you go down and arrange camp first."

  Ye Mao bowed his head deeply and stepped back.

  Li Xin sat on the main seat of the handsome tent and slowly closed his eyes.

Originally, there was no need for him to tell Ye Mao this, because as long as Jincheng was broken, if there were Pingnan troops in it that were not transferred out, it would be Li Shen's problem, not Li Xin's problem. The Pingnan Army was captured together.

   But Li Xin is going to lie about the "number of kills". This operation can be deceived by anyone, but it can't be deceived by Ye Mao, who is on the front line. If Ye Mao makes a fuss about this, everyone will be even more stiff.

   Therefore, Li Xin had to communicate with his nephew as a teacher in advance, so as not to have trouble getting through.

   As for the rest of the Imperial Army, there is no need to say hello.

   Those middle- and lower-level people had no way of knowing how many Pingnan troops had been killed by the entire army. Even if they felt something was wrong, they would not say much.

  No one wants to make a lot of military exploits for no reason.

As a result, the 20,000 forbidden troops under Li Xin set up their tents at a distance of 60 to 70 miles near Jincheng. At the same time, the "Rebels" of Hanzhou had also arrived near Mianzhu, and together with Li Xin, Jincheng formed a situation of encirclement.

   That night, a middle-aged man quietly entered the camp of the Imperial Army under Li Xin.

  The Marquis of Jing'an personally greeted him and went out to greet the middle-aged man.

   "Uncle Mu is here in person."

   As the head of the Mu family, Mu Ying hurriedly returned the salute to Li Xin and said, "You're welcome, Lord Hou."

   Li Xin welcomed him into the handsome tent with a smile, and poured him a cup of tea with his own hands.

   "Uncle Mu, are all of Brother Mu's people in place?"

   Mu Qing lowered her head to take the tea that Li Xin handed over, and said solemnly: "If you go back to Lord Hou, Mu Ying has already arrived at the position designated by Lord Hou, and is ready to listen to Lord Hou's orders."

  Li Xin nodded and said straight to the point.

   "The younger generation is welcome. Early tomorrow morning, Brother Mu will lead the Hanzhou Rebels to attack from the west gate of Jincheng, and our forbidden army will support it at the east gate."

  The Marquis of Jing'an said solemnly: "Starting tomorrow, the Hanzhou Rebels will attack for at least three days, and then I will change the forbidden army to attack Jincheng. Uncle Mu, is there any problem?"

   When Li Xin said these words, he kept looking at Mu Qing's face.

Although the Mu family's face was a little unsightly, he didn't say anything in the end, he just lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "My Hanzhou army can naturally attack, in order to show loyalty, it doesn't matter if anyone dies, but Lord Hou, let me Han The state army will attack Jincheng first, I am afraid there will be some objections in our army."

  Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Uncle Mu, Jincheng may already be an empty city now."

   "The Hanzhou Rebels are the main attack. I can write in the memorial that the Jincheng Pingnan Army was beheaded by the Hanzhou Rebels by tens of thousands! What you have in front of your eyes is the credit at your fingertips!"

  Jing'an Houye's voice was low.

   "At that time, it's not impossible for Brother Mu to be a Fenghou."

   "Just look at it, is the Mu family willing to gamble!"
