Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 742 Waiting for Li Xinlai

   After receiving the letter, Li Xin only thought about it for one night, and left Jizhou City with his dozen or so family generals. Along with him, there were more than 100 people hiding in the dark.

The group was basically on horseback, and the speed was much faster than walking when they came. They left in the early morning and had run for more than a hundred miles by noon. The group found a place to eat. Li Xin asked Shen Gang to eat. I got him pen, ink and paper, wrote a letter at the dinner table, and handed it over to an unremarkable man.

   "Send to Hanzhou City."

The Marquis of Jing'an looked solemn: "You ride three horses and send them to Hanzhou City at the fastest speed. If there is no accident, most of Hanzhou City will not be able to enter, but there are also some in Hanzhou Prefecture. Our people, you find a way to contact them and let them take you in."

At this time, Hanzhou City was probably surrounded by people from the imperial court, but these people Li Xinyang was in the dark were not only active in the capital, whether it was his hometown Yongzhou or the southwest, they all had their presence, these people had their own There is a special set of contact information. As long as they can be contacted, Mu Ying should have a way to get people in.

   This man bowed his head deeply: "I'll go to the humble post."

   After he finished speaking, he brought four or five flatbreads from the inn and put them in the bag at his waist, drank a large bowl of water, turned on his horse, and left.

   As for Li Xin and his party, they each had their fill and got on the horse again.

   After sitting on Mo Qi's horse, Li Xin said solemnly to Shen Gang beside him: "You go to my hometown, and let the people there also set off for Hanzhou City."

  Shen Gang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I understand."

   After finishing speaking, he also left the large group with a dozen people and rushed towards Li Xin's hometown of Yongzhou.

   And Li Xin and the others also moved towards the southwest and moved fast.

   At this time, Li Xin sighed inwardly while looking at the direction of Hanzhou Mansion while on his way.

   "Hold on, Mushuizi."

  …

When Li Xin and others rushed to the Southwest Road, the Hanzhou Prefecture at this time, except for Hanzhou City, was basically controlled by the imperial court. As Li Xin expected, only one Hanzhou City was left in Muying. In their hands, the Hanzhou army today can only defend against the city.

   Then, Hanju Castle was surrounded.

   The general, Pei Jin, who led this operation, approached the city of Hanzhou. He sat on a tall horse with a telescopic mirror distributed by the imperial court in his hand, and looked at the situation on the city wall of Hanzhou.

In the monocular lens of the telescopic lens, Pei Jin saw that on the city wall of Hanzhou, there was also a general with dark skin, holding a telescopic lens and looking in his direction.

   He slowly put down the telescopic mirror in his hand, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

   "Interesting, the imperial court stipulated that military generals from the third rank and above are only eligible to issue telephoto mirrors. This Hanzhou general is only of the fifth rank, and he actually has it."

   He looked back at the generals of Hanzhong and Jincheng, who were beside him, and said solemnly, "I was going to speak on behalf of the imperial court, and dispatched a dozen or so louder messengers to convey the holy will to these rebels."

The two of them immediately took orders, and in a short while twenty tall messengers had arrived, Pei Jin said solemnly: "Tell these rebels, because they disobeyed the imperial edict, they attracted the imperial conquest, if their generals Mu Ying is willing to bow her head and confess her guilt, and she will return to Beijing to be punished, so this is the end of today's matter, otherwise it is inevitable that the people in the city will suffer military disasters when the city of Hanzhou is destroyed!"

   Twenty messengers immediately took their orders, walked to a distance from the city wall, shouted loudly at the city wall, and repeated Pei Jin's words.

Mu Ying on the city wall showed a disdainful smile when she heard the words. Pei Jin's intention was obvious, to use these words to divide his relationship with the people of Hanzhou City, but Hanzhou City didn't need the people to fight, but instead. With the Hanzhou army, these people are from the remnants of Nanshu, and they have no good feelings for the Dajin court. Besides, they have lived a good life under the leadership of Mu Ying in recent years, and it is impossible to turn against Mu Ying at this moment. .

   In order to fight back, Mu Ying also recruited more than a dozen loud voices to shout at the people under the tower.

"After Mu Ying received the imperial decree, he has given up the Hanzhou General's Mansion to General Xu Bin to live in. The military power of the Hanzhou Army is also being handed over one after another, but he is sick and cannot enter the capital. Who knows that within a few days, the imperial court will They have assembled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to invade the Hanzhou Prefecture, and their intentions are obvious!"

   "When the Southwest Ping Nan Army was in chaos, and without the help of the people of Hanzhou, the court can take Jincheng at this time. If we help the people of Hanzhou to help the Nanjun army, then the southwest is probably not the southwest of the imperial court!"

   "The court crossed the river and demolished the bridge, how unkind and righteous!"

   "The Emperor Taikang of the Great Jin Dynasty is truly the number one sage in the world!"

   These remarks made Pei Jin's face become very ugly, and he even regretted being shouted at now.

   After all, to get to the bottom of it, this matter is indeed the fault of the imperial court.

Since it is justified, then there is no need to reason anymore. General Pei looked cold and shouted: "Since these rebels are obsessed, then don't blame Master Wang for quelling the rebellion. The order goes on, the whole army rests for three days, and starts to attack three days later. city!"

   They had just cleared out the Hanzhou prefecture except for Hanzhou City, and most of them were quite tired. It was unwise to attack the city at this time. It was a very reasonable move for General Pei to let the whole army rest.

   Pei Jin's general order was issued soon, and the various armies of the imperial court began to camp five or six miles outside the city of Hanzhou.

   Mu Ying, who was standing on the upper floor of Hanzhou Chengcheng, looked at the dense imperial army outside the city, made a simple calculation, and felt a little sinking in her heart.

   Judging by the number alone, the army of these imperial courts may have exceeded 100,000.

  You must know that the Pingnan Army at that time was only 150,000 or 60,000!

   This is a huge scale, and it will definitely suffer from a reckless fight.

If you just defend the city for half a year, there is no problem, but it is winter, and there is not enough food in Hanzhou City. If Hanzhou City is surrounded by enemies all the time, at most next spring, Hanzhou City will insist on not being able to. Living.

   General Mu heaved a long sigh, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.

  The former head of the Mu family, Mu Qing, with almost white hair, glanced at his son and asked slowly, "Afraid of being surrounded to the point of running out of food?"

   Muying nodded.

   "The food in the city right now, even if we save it, is at most two or three months. If there is no way to solve this dilemma after two or three months, we will lose."

   Mu Qing took a deep breath.

   "We still have some food in the cellar, we can take it out."

When Nanshu destroyed the country, it was the Mu family who took the royal family of Nanshu to escape from Jincheng to Hanzhou. Since then, they have established a foothold in Hanzhou. Since then, the Mu family has been prepared for danger and dug a huge cellar under the ground of their home, which is stored every year. Some grain goes in, just in case.

   Now, the second catastrophe of the Mu family is finally coming.

   Mu Ying frowned slightly: "That's the food that the Mu family has saved for generations. I'm afraid my family won't let me take it out and distribute it."

   "No matter how much food there is, the ruined city belongs to someone else."

  Mu Qing's voice was hoarse: "Don't worry, our father and son are the masters."

   He patted his son on the shoulder, softly relieved.

   "Besides, two or three months are enough for Lord Li to take care of this place."

   "Since you believe him, let's just wait for him."

   "Let's see if he can turn the tide."
