Unparalleled Concubine

The preparations for the Southwest War are in full swing, and the tail of autumn has already been touched in a blink of an eye. In a few months, the weather will become colder.

Li Xin was afraid of the cold but not the heat, even though the autumn tiger was still quite fierce at this time, Li Xin was wearing a loose robe, but he didn't feel the heat.

On this day, he was in the Southwest General's Mansion in Hanzhong, dealing with some daily military affairs of the Southwest Army brother. At about dusk, a piece of information from the Anbu quietly appeared on his desk.

After Li Xin opened it for a general look, he let out a breath slowly, and said in a deep voice, "Go look for Mu Ying, the two generals Li Shuo have come to see me."

There was his personal guard at the door, and after hearing Li Xin's words, he immediately trotted all the way down to call for someone.

When the two generals arrived at Li Xin's General's Mansion, night fell and the sky was completely dark.

Sitting on the main seat, Li Xin glanced at these two people, and said slowly: "You two, our people are in Shanyin, and we have already succeeded, and we are rushing back to the southwest now."

"I will send people to meet him along the way. If all goes well, another son of Emperor Xianjing will appear in the southwest soon."

Mu Ying smiled and said: "The general has a lot of talents. I thought I had no chance at all. I had to go to Yuezhou to find the King of Yueyang. I didn't expect that the general could actually send people from Shaoxing. The government brought it out..."

"Stop flattering."

Li Xin frowned, and said: "We all know in our hearts that no matter whether there is a royal family in the southwest, we will still do what we should do, but the sixth prince is going to the southwest. Get ready to get started.”

"If we keep holding back like this, people in the world will regard us as the second Pingnan Army, and we must show the world that we are now far better than the Pingnan Army back then."

Having said that, Li Xin glanced at the two generals, and said, "Before the end of the year, I want you to take Xiangyang."

This sentence is purely a lion's mouth. Whether the current Southwest Army can win the Xiangyang defenders head-on is another matter. In any case, it is impossible to capture Xiangyang City before the end of the year!

The two generals looked at each other, and then Mu Ying smiled wryly at Li Xin: "General, I'm afraid this matter will not be done, Xiangyang is also one of the important towns, and they have so many people stationed there, it will be very difficult within a year or two. Eat it down..."

Li Shuo also lowered his head, and said, "General, I'm afraid this matter...can't be rushed."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "A few days ago, the two of you and I asked for [-] young soldiers. At that time, neither of you was willing to give it."

"Counting the days, they have been going to Huzi for more than a month, and they should have achieved something by now."

Along the way, Li Xin looked at the two people.

"Huzi has come up with something new over the years."

"Starting tomorrow, both of you will stay with Huzi for a month, and ask him how to use these new things."

Having said that, Li Xinxin tapped on the table lightly.

"After you have learned those new things, come and tell me whether Xiangyang can be defeated."

Chapter 1040

The weather is gradually entering autumn.

On a hidden trail in Suizhou Mansion, a group of more than a dozen people galloped wildly on horseback.

Each of the dozen or so people had some wounds on their bodies. At first, a black-faced man still had half a feather arrow in his ribs, but it was obvious that he had been injured for a long time and had stopped bleeding.

There were more than a dozen people, and a child was guarding in the middle. This child was about ten years old, his small face was already pale, and there was also a long bloody mouth on his face, which had slowly begun to scab.

The black-faced burly man at the front, after looking left and right, gritted his teeth and said: "This is Suizhou, and further west is Xiangyang City. After passing Xiangyang, we will soon be able to reach Ankang. We will be safe when we reach Ankang Mansion!"

This group of people used to be Shen Gang and the sixth prince.

They took great risks to bring the Sixth Prince out of Shaoxing Mansion, but it is impossible to do this kind of thing quietly. Not long after they left Shaoxing Mansion, they were discovered by the Xie family, and they chased after them He came up and chased him all the way from Shaoxing Mansion to Suizhou!

In the second half of the escape, the court's Plum Blossom Guard also joined in. They rode behind Shen Gang and the others on horseback, causing Shen Gang a lot of trouble.

Along the way, in order to protect the sixth prince, at least dozens of people from Anbu died, and almost all of them were "old men" who had worked in Anbu for several years or even more than ten years. Everyone was extremely precious.

Moreover, these Habayashi guards seemed to have received some orders, completely disregarding the life of the sixth prince, and even a crossbow arrow flew past the sixth prince's cheek!

The arrow was slightly missed by half an inch, and the first emperor's son would die immediately!

Fortunately, Shen Gang and the others are quite experienced. After sacrificing dozens of people, they abruptly brought the sixth prince to Suizhou. At this time, there were only a dozen people left in their party, and almost everyone was injured. Just now, he was the most seriously injured. A crossbow arrow penetrated nearly an inch into his flesh under his ribs, and even injured his bones, but he had to rely on himself to support himself.

Now as long as the staff is pulled out from his body, he will immediately lie on the ground, unable to move!

Zhao Yi also fled with them, walking beside Shen Gang at this moment, a small piece of flesh was wiped off his calf by a crossbow arrow, but the injury was not too serious and he could barely hold on.

He walked side by side with Shen Gang, lowered his voice, and asked, "Uncle Shen, didn't you ask your adoptive father for help in Shaoxing? Why did you go all the way to Suizhou, and your adoptive father..."

While riding a horse, Shen Gang said in a deep voice: "Master Hou's influence only ends in Ankang. There is still Xiangyang between Ankang and Suizhou. It is not easy for the forces in the southwest to reach Suizhou."

He had just finished speaking when he heard the sound of "咻", and a crossbow arrow shot from behind, but it missed the person and was nailed directly into the big tree beside him.

The expressions of Shen Gang and Zhao Yi changed at the same time.

This is a bow and crossbow that is only available in the Imperial Guards, and the Plum Blossom Guards are also equipped. Obviously, the Plum Blossom Guards, who had chased them for nearly a thousand miles all the way, caught up again.

The Shanyin Xie family is a scholarly family, and the servants in the family will not have much combat power. In fact, the casualties along the way, including the wounds of a dozen of them, are almost all thanks to Meihuawei!

After the first howl of arrows, more than a dozen more howls of arrows came one after another. Although most of them were shot on trees, one or two arrows still hit people. Among the dozen or so people, two more fell from their horses. Down, down in the dust.

Shen Gang has been used to the wind and rain for so many years, he immediately made a decision, turned his head to look at Zhao Yi, and said in a deep voice: "Young Master Zhao, you continue to go west with His Highness the Sixth Highness, and we stay in the Queen's Palace! "

Although Zhao Yi was precocious, he was still a 15-year-old boy after all. Under such circumstances, he suddenly panicked.

"Uncle Shen, I..."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Shen Gang shouted in a low voice: "Just dawdling for a while, we are all going to die here, it doesn't matter if we die, if the sixth prince also dies here, all our brothers along the way will die in vain!"

Zhao Yi nodded in despair, took the sixth prince who had fainted from an Anbu, and put it in front of him, then he shook the reins vigorously and ran towards the west.

The two young men ran all the way for about half a stick of incense. Zhao Yi's eyes were slightly blurred due to lack of strength, but he vaguely heard a familiar voice.

"Protect these two children."

After hearing this voice, Zhao Yi's eyes went dark and he passed out.

Li Xin looked at Zhao Yi who passed out in front of him, and before he had time to investigate carefully, he shouted at the hundreds of riders behind him, and said: "Shen Gang is still behind, leaving twenty people here to watch these two Children, the rest of the people will go with me to meet them!"

These four or five hundred riders are the personal guard battalion that Li Xin established based on the template of the Habayashi Guard back then. They are regarded as his personal soldiers. Hearing this, he immediately shouted in unison: "Yes!"

Four to five hundred people ran towards Shen Gang's direction along this path.

This rather remote path was stained with a lot of blood.

………………

When Zhao Yi woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the second day. He was lying in a carriage, and the carriage was walking on a path that was not wide, walking unsteadily forward.
