Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 747 Just wait

Because Li Xin is only remote control of Hanzhou, not direct control, so the Mu family has the idea of ​​​​the Mu family, and the idea of ​​the Mu family represents the idea of ​​​​the Hanzhou army. Although the Mu family is now willing to be used by Li Xin, but Li Xin also Their ideas have to be respected to some extent.

Mu Qing, the old patriarch of the Mu family just now, has already stated his position in front of Li Xin. His idea is very simple, that is, no matter how Li Xin handles this time, he will eventually turn his back on the court in the future. In this case, we must prepare early. So quietly waiting for the court to start.

   Now, Li Xin is asking what Mu Ying thinks.

   Whether it is the Mu family or the Hanzhou army, Mu Ying is actually in control now, and his thoughts are more critical than his father.

   After the black-faced general scolded the emperor Taikang who was far away in the capital, he saw Li Xin with a serious face, so the smile on his face gradually faded.

"Master Hou, my father doesn't know you, that's why he said this to you, but I'm different. We were in the capital back then, and it was a deadly friendship. I know what kind of character you are, no matter what you plan to do. Do it, I will follow you."

   It was November, the weather was cold, Li Xin tightened his robe and let out a white breath.

   "We'll talk about things in the future. What we have to do now is how to beat this old boy Pei Jin hard."

   said, he said to Mu Ying: "It's cold here, let's go to your study to talk."

   Mu Ying nodded and led Li Xin into the Mu family's study. The two of them lit a stove in the study, moved a low table, and sat on both sides of the low table.

After they all sat down, Mu Ying reached out and poured Li Xin a glass of wine.

   "It's cold, so keep your body warm."

   While pouring wine, he continued: "I have sent a lot of people out these days. I have probably figured out the number of the imperial army. It is roughly 120,000 to 30,000 people."

While talking, Mu Ying poured herself a glass of wine, took a sip, and continued: "As the Marquis said, most of these troops are the local garrison in the southwest, and some are villagers transferred from various counties. There is also the Hanzhong Army, which was transferred from Hanzhong, and its organization is chaotic. Although there are many people, it is very ugly."

   "Except for the Hanzhong Army and Jincheng's garrison, the others are all a rabble."

General    Mu squinted his eyes and said, "I have stayed in Yulinwei, if I can give me 20,000 to 30,000 Yulinlang, I will be sure to force these people away!"

  Jing'an Marquis couldn't help but gave Mu Ying a blank look.

   "30,000 Yulin guards, thanks to what you said, there are only 3,200 Yulin guards in the entire Jin Dynasty!"

   "Just give you 30,000 Feather Linwei, their armor and weapons, and the bow and crossbow consumed by daily training, and you will be able to beg for food!"

Yulin Guards, Neiwei Guards and Qianniu Guards are all soldiers of the Son of Heaven. These imperial guards in the capital are quite expensive to raise. Take Yulin Guards as an example. , the cost price is about 20 to 30 yuan, and almost everyone in Yulinwei is good at archery. The bow and arrow consumed by practice archery every day is a large amount.

Even the Great Jin court could only support three imperial guards, and together there were no more than 10,000 guards. If it was 30,000 Yulin guards, even Li Xin could not support them, let alone those who were not rich. Hanzhou government.

   Mu Ying has been a general in Yulinwei for two years, so she never forgets Yulinwei. For an ordinary local general, if his subordinates can dress neatly, even if the conditions are good.

Mu Ying coughed, and then said sternly: "Actually, my Hanzhou army's training in the past few years has not fallen behind. Even now, let me lead the Hanzhou army out and fight to the death with the people of the court, not without a chance of winning, but only with a chance of winning. Just a little lower."

   He looked serious.

   "In the end, there is a high probability that Pei Jin's troops will be severely damaged, and then Hanzhou City will fall."

Mu Ying was born in Yulinwei, and the backbone of the Hanzhou Army was also the two hundred Yulinwei that Li Xin brought from the capital to the southwest. Therefore, most of the training of the Hanzhou Army on weekdays is based on the training of Yulinwei. The standard comes, five years down, if only on combat capability. They are actually not much different from Yulin Lang in the capital, but their equipment is far less good than Yulinwei, and their archery skills are far less than Yulinwei.

  Li Xin's face was calm.

   "If Pei Jin wants to bring troops to attack the city, I have a way to make him suffer a big loss and turn the situation around. The difficulty now is that if Pei Jin is surrounded and does not fight, it will be difficult to deal with."

   Muying heard Li Xin's words, and immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at the Marquis of Jing'an.

   "Master Hou, do you mean..."

Li Xin didn't answer directly, but just said: "I have arranged a group of people to do things in my hometown of Yongzhou in the past few years. I have asked them to come here a few days ago. It is estimated that they will be there in a few days. Near the Hanzhou Mansion, you will have to take people out to pick them up into the city."

   Mu Ying nodded and said, "No problem, you may not be able to beat Pei Jin in a frontal fight, but with my cavalry here, it's not difficult to pick up some people into the city."

   "About a hundred people."

   Mu Ying coughed, still patting her chest.

   "Don't worry, Lord Hou, there is no problem."

   Lord Jingan nodded and said, "Since these people can enter the city, the next question is how to lure Pei to attack the city."

   Having said that, Li Xin tapped the table.

   "I have an idea."

Li Xin was in Hanzhou City, which he had traveled from the northern Xinjiang for more than ten days. On the way, he was thinking about how to break the situation in Hanzhou. The idea to say it was deliberate.

  Mu Ying grinned: "The Lord Hou ordered it, and the Hanzhou Army will do it."

   Li Xin coughed and asked, "How long will there be enough food in Hanzhou City?"

   "If you save some food, it will be enough for three months, which is February next year."

   "Where's the food in the homes of the people in the city?"

   "Then it's not clear."

Mu Ying coughed and said, "After Hanzhou was besieged, I asked people to control the rice shops where they bought and sold food, and used part of their food as military ration, and kept the other part for two months later. Porridge."

   Having said that, Mu Ying paused.

   "But thinking about it, there shouldn't be too much food in people's homes..."

   Lord Jingan narrowed his eyes.

   "Then from tomorrow onwards, the rice shop will be opened, and grain will be distributed to the people,"

  Li Xin looked calm: "Every person is limited to two kilograms of rice per day."

   Muying's face changed slightly.

   "But if it goes on like this, at most one month, the Hanzhou army will have no food to eat!"

   Having been a family for five years, Mu Ying is now more sensitive to food than anyone else. He doesn't even need to make a careful calculation. He can estimate how long the food can last just by feeling.

   "You listen to me first."

After Li Xin was interrupted by Mu Ying, his thoughts were messed up a bit. After sorting out his thoughts, he continued: "In addition to putting food in, we must spread the news intentionally or unintentionally, saying that there is enough food in the city, at least It can feed everyone for more than a year.”

   Mu Ying scratched his head: "Then what?"

   "Then just wait."

  Li Xin smiled and said, "At this time, there should be many people in Hanzhou city acting as eyes and ears for Pei Jin. When these eyes and ears spread the news, it was not us who were anxious."
