He Song frowned slightly.

"I don't know what orders the Marquis has?"

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "The old general should be aware of the current situation outside the capital. The Imperial Army is not the opponent of the Southwest Army. The four Zhechong mansions that went out of the city to meet the enemy a few days ago are all from the Right Battalion of the Imperial Army. The soldiers here are all old generals, if the fight continues, more people will die in the imperial army, what the righteous father means is, please take care of the overall situation..."

"The old man has been under Lord Li for nearly ten years. Originally, what the Lord Hou ordered was naturally to be followed..."

Speaking of this, He Song smiled wryly and said, "At the end of last year, the old man resigned from the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army, and now he is just an ordinary peasant in the capital. Even if he wants to help Lord Li, he is powerless."

These words were obviously a refusal, and Li Xin also knew that He Song was no longer in his position, but he had been serving as a de facto general in the Right Camp of the Forbidden Army for more than ten years, and the contacts he had accumulated had surpassed the imperial court's documents.

That's why Li Xin asked Zhao Yi to venture into Beijing to find him.

Once he opened his mouth, he could control the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army to a certain extent, not to mention making them turn against each other, as long as they stood still, Li Xin would have enough confidence to enter the capital.

Zhao Yi lowered his head, and said in a low tone, "Old General, Hou Jingde from the left battalion of the Forbidden Army has already joined hands with his adoptive father..."

Chapter 1089 Old Stubborn

He Song is a very reliable person. He has done his best in the right battalion of the Forbidden Army for so many years, but he is from Chen Guogong's residence. It is still unknown whether he will listen to Li Xin's words.

That's why Li Xin let Zhao Yi move out of Hou Jingde's reputation,

Hou Jingde from the left battalion of the Forbidden Army was one of the three heroes of Renchen. Although his position was similar to that of He Song, his status in the capital was much higher than that of He Song. The serving generals of the imperial army are also higher than He Song in terms of authority.

The problem is, Hou Jingde alone is probably unwilling to cooperate with Li Xin.

He Song frowned when he heard Zhao Yi mentioning Hou Jingde, and said, "After General Hou led his troops to the expedition, there was no news. It turned out that he was captured by Lord Li Hou."

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "The adoptive father and Old General Hou are good friends, how can we talk about catching words? It was only because Old General Hou was injured that the foster father invited General Hou to Luzhou. On the one hand, it is also a guest."

"General Hou is the pillar of the Forbidden Army, and he is also an important figure in the Jin army. If he is willing to cooperate with Li Houye, the matter of Li Houye's entry into the capital is already guaranteed. Why bother to find me, a general from the right camp? The old man who retired from his position?"

Zhao Yi's expression faltered, and then he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice: "Old General, the four Zhechong mansions that went out of the city to fight the Southwest Army a few days ago were all from the Right Battalion of the Imperial Army. Many people in these four Zhechong mansions, The old general should recognize them all."

"After they left Beijing, they ended up in a disastrous defeat in just one day. The four Zhechong Mansions suffered heavy losses, and more than [-] people were left behind by the Southwest Army."

"Afterwards, when the Southwest Army was cleaning the battlefield, the adoptive father ordered that the bodies of the four Zhechong Mansion soldiers who died in battle be sent back to the capital. The Southwest Army did not kill the soldiers of the Right Battalion who were seriously injured on the battlefield. Even if the old general is not in the Forbidden Army, he should know about it."

He Song had been a general in Youying for such a long time, and he dispatched almost half of the soldiers from the four Zhechong Prefectures out of the city. He was naturally aware of this matter. In the capital, I also received the news early in the morning.

Frankly speaking, that Marquis Li was very righteous in this matter. Many people in the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army secretly gave their old boss a thumbs up.

He Song was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Of course I know the character of Marquis Li, but even so, it can't be the reason for me to sacrifice my life to accompany you. At this time, I have no official position and may have been ruled by the court. Once you rush back to the right camp of the Forbidden Army, you may die before you speak."

"Of course, the old general doesn't have to worry about this."

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Naturally, the adoptive father asked the younger generation to look for the old general. Naturally, everything has been arranged. The old general will smoothly enter the right camp of the forbidden army. As for what he can do after entering, it depends on the old general. It's up to me."

He Song still shook his head.

"The old man has a wife and son now. Just based on Li Houye's words, it is impossible for the old man to take his wealth and life to fight with Li Houye."

"I'm afraid it's up to you, old general, to fight or not."

Zhao Yi lowered his head slightly, and said in a quiet tone: "The old general has led the right battalion of the imperial army for many years and has always been in order. At this time, when the court is facing a big war, why can't you explain it and take the old general out of this position?"

He Song was expressionless and did not speak.

"The old general was born in Chen Guogong's mansion, so he will naturally be regarded by the court as a party of Chen Guogong's mansion. The younger generation dares to ask the old general, where is Chen Guogong?"

He Song snorted: "Mr. Ye is naturally in northern Xinjiang, rebuilding the Zhenbei Army."

"Then the younger generation will ask the old general again, when will the Zhenbei Army be rebuilt?"

Zhao Yi bowed his head and said: "Since the Chengde period, the imperial court has stayed and suppressed Chen Guogong's mansion. In the current Yuanzhao period, the Zhenbei Army has emptied the imperial court's family. Recruiting recruits in northern Xinjiang, that is to say, the Zhenbei Army that has lasted for three generations, will cease to exist in the future."

"The old general was born in the Zhenbei Army. Naturally, a younger generation than me knows what the Zhenbei Army means to the Ye family. If the Zhenbei Army does not exist, the foundation of Chen Guogong's mansion will be gone. This is also the time that Ye Guogong has , one of the reasons for staying in northern Xinjiang and refusing to return to Beijing."

"Now, the imperial court is facing the southwest of me, and has no time to take care of other things. Once the imperial court has calmed down, without the Zhenbei Army, where will there be Chen Guogong's mansion?"

"Without Chen Guogong's mansion, I am afraid that you, the old general, will not be able to survive alone."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he kept silent. He Song bowed his head and pondered for a while, then laughed at himself: "Xiao Langjun is not only eloquent, but also his words are becoming more and more fierce. Second, if it wasn't for Mr. Xiao Lang who is still a young man, this old man would have thought it was Master Li standing in front of this old man."

"Don't dare to hide from the old general."

Zhao Yi bowed his head and said: "The junior is just a child, so naturally he doesn't have such profound insights. What he said just now was said by his adoptive father, and the junior just conveyed it on his behalf."

"The current situation in the capital is very complicated."

"If the fight continues, the Southwest Army may not be able to hold on, but when the Southwest Army retreats, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army will definitely go seven or eight out of ten. Which side the situation will go now depends entirely on the old general's thoughts."

After saying this, Zhao Yi stood up, bowed to He Song, and fell to the ground with one bow.

"Please think about it, old general."

He Song is also a person who has seen big scenes. Facing a young man like Zhao Yi, he would naturally not be forced into a corner by him. , Saying these words to the old man, no matter whether there is a pit of fire in front of him or a mountain of knives, the old man will risk his life and wealth, and he will gladly accept his order, but..."

"Li Chang'an cannot represent the Ye family."

He Song frowned, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if the old man dies alone. My He family is thin, so it doesn't matter if I die with the old man. But Ye Guogong hasn't made a statement yet. If I make my own claims, what will happen? , not only my family lost their heads, but Chen Guogong's mansion will also be implicated by the old man."

"Mr. Li has already jumped out of the capital. His family is in the southwest, so he can be completely free from fear, but I can't. My family is in the capital, and Ye Guogong's family is still in the capital."

"Master Li is from the old man's old department. He handed me a sentence, and the old man would not even frown if he wanted the old man's life, but... too many people are involved in this matter, and the old man can't make the decision."

The gray-haired old general looked up at Zhao Yi with a low voice.

"Please trouble me, Mr. Xiaolang, to bring a letter to Li Houye for the old man, telling him that the old man can risk the lives of the whole family to work for him, but the old man has one condition..."

He looked calm.

"I want to see Ye Guogong's attitude."

"The Ye family nodded, and everyone will fight together. There is no regret in life or death. If the Ye family does not nod, the old man will not do anything for Li Changan."

Chapter 1090 The Northern Xinjiang is not fortified!

Prestige is a wonderful thing, it is often not determined by a person's final achievement.

For example, Li Xin's current "actions" have surpassed his teacher Ye Cheng in a certain sense, but even though Ye Sheng has passed away seven or eight years ago, the status of the Ye family in the eyes of many people is still unparalleled.

Take He Song as an example. He is a subordinate of Ye Ming, the uncle of the Ye family, but he has left Chen Guogong's mansion for more than ten years, and even established his own family. But in his eyes, as long as the current Chen Guogong Ye Mao says something, he will You can fight with the lives of the whole family.

The reason for this difference is that Ye Sheng is the hero who led the Jin Dynasty to "defeat the strong with the weak". He is so brilliant that he naturally has countless fans.

Secondly, it was also because of Li Xin's lack of background, so that until now, except for the Southwest Army, few people would go all out for him, Li Chang'an.
