Unparalleled Concubine

The so-called "wealth and sorrow" means that since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, the Chong family has guarded the border for the Jin Dynasty. The two families have intermarried for generations. During the more than 100 years of the Jin Dynasty, there have been two caste queens. It's a cousin, we don't distinguish between you and me.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the people in this world who are least willing to see the imperial court change their name and surname, except for the Ji family, are several families.

Because of "we share weal and woe", if the Ji family is gone, the Zhong family will also die.

This is why the Chong family would rather abandon tens of millions of people in Jiangbei than return to King Qin of Jing.

And Chong Wu said that Ye Mao had "selfishness", he also said the friendship between the Ye family and Li Xin.

He felt that the purpose of Ye Mao coming all the way to stop him was not pure, maybe it was because of the general of the Southwest Army under the capital that he came to stop the Yunzhou Army.

Ye Mao was straight-tempered, but after hearing this sentence, his anger surged up immediately. He took a step forward, punched Zhong Wu hard in the abdomen, and then yelled: "Your grandma!"

Ye Mao's fist was much stronger than Li Xin's. When he punched, he lay down on the ground, his face was ashen, his body bowed like a shrimp, his hands covered his stomach, and he twitched on the ground.

Seeing his general being beaten, the guards beside Zhong Wu immediately drew out the long knife at his waist, and pointed the coldly shining tip at Ye Mao.

Ye Guogong didn't change his face, he still looked at Zhong Wu lying on the ground coldly, and cursed.

"I'm here to stop you for the people of Jiangbei. You think everyone is like your family!"

"Where is your family still a soldier defending the country? It's clearly a politician in the court!"

After saying this, Ye Mao got on his horse angrily, turned around and walked away.

Dozens of personal guards in Zhongwu watched the murderer who had beaten his general go away, none of them dared to step forward to stop him.

I don't know how long it took for Zhong Wu to slowly recover. His forehead was covered with sweat, and he sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment. While rubbing his stomach, he said with a wry smile, "I remember being punched by Li Changan last year. I was punched by Ye Mao again this year, I am so wronged."

In it, everyone is involuntary.

Why doesn't Zhongwu want to lead troops to stay in Yunzhou, why doesn't he want to defend the country for the country?But the emperor's order in the capital city has already come down, and the old father is struggling to support it alone in the capital city. He knows very well in his heart that the war in the capital city has determined the lives and deaths of many people.

Which includes the entire breeder.

For the sake of his family, he had to go back.

Chong Wu recovered for a while, and then slowly stood up from the ground. He looked at the direction Ye Maoyuan was going, touched his stomach again, and muttered to himself: "Being punched by this guy makes me feel better." some."

After saying this, the general Zhong said slowly: "Pass down the general's order, and leave another [-] soldiers and horses to stay in Yunzhou."

"The rest will go to Jingqin King!"

……

On the other side, Ye Guogong left the Yunzhou army camp on horseback in a huff. Now he has to return to Yanzhou to arrange the defense of northern Xinjiang as much as possible.

After all, the news of the Xianbei people will not be very well-informed, and the news of the Yunzhou Army's departure is estimated to reach their ears in a month.

Now is the time when every second counts.

Ye Mao rode on a horse and rushed back to Yancheng along the official road. Halfway there, there was a team of cavalry running towards him on the road.

The leader of the horse team only had one left arm. After seeing Ye Mao, the one-armed man was overjoyed and shouted loudly at Ye Mao.

"Grandpa Ye, the villain has found you!"

Chapter 1093 Li Changan's eloquent tongue

The situation in the capital is deadlocked.

The Southwest Army bombards the west wall of the capital with sky thunder every day, but there has never been a large-scale attack. It has been bombing like this. Although the Imperial Army has casualties every day, it will be difficult to make greater progress. .

It's not that the Southwest Army is incapable of attacking the capital. With the firearms that Li Xin has stored up over the years, it is absolutely no problem to open the west wall of the capital with all the firearms that Li Xin has stored up these years. The problem is after entering the capital. , Can the remaining Southwest Army win the Forbidden Army in the capital?

In this way, in the blink of an eye, the Southwest Army had been under the capital for two months. After two months, the capital, which was originally in panic, gradually no longer feared the thunder from the Southwest Army. Although there were still worries about the situation, Compared with the previous month, it has been much better.

However, it is not without good news for the Southwest Army. Since the last time the Southwest Army defeated the Forbidden Army and the Local Xiang Army, coupled with Zhao Fang's efforts in the rear, the public opinion in the world has slowly begun to turn around. .

At the very least, almost no one now thinks that the Southwest Army is a "rebel". Everyone thinks that this time the Southwest Army's troops are coming to the capital, it's just a battle within the Ji family, and it's far from being overthrown by an artifact.

And because of the beautiful victory last time, Li Xin won the support of many forces. Many big clans in the south of the Yangtze River have lost money to wealthy businessmen. They have secretly contacted Li Xin and provided a lot of money and food to the Southwest Army.

The Southwest Army came all the way from Hanzhong. It is obviously unrealistic to rely on Zhao Jia to transport food and grass in the rear. Fortunately, the Southwest Army is not considered a "king's division". When it comes to money, it is not a problem to "borrow" some grain from local rich merchants and landlords.

"Borrowing" all the time is not an option after all. The rich and powerful who secretly supported the Southwest Army helped Li Xin relieve a lot of pressure.

At this time, Li Shuo led the Ningzhou Army to confront the defenders of the capital [-] miles outside the capital. At the same time, the Yunzhou Army who came to King Qin from the north had been on the road for more than a month, at most another month They will be able to rush to the capital in less time.

Yunzhou City is a serious frontier army, and its combat power may be better than that of the Central Forbidden Army. Once the Yunzhou Army arrives in the capital, and there are still about 20 troops in the capital, even if Li Xin is capable, the Southwest Army will We will be forced to retreat to the southwest.

While everyone in the boxing world was staring at the capital, Li Xin himself left the Ningzhou army camp and returned to Luzhou city behind.

The current Luzhou City can be regarded as the relatively stable "rear" of the Southwest Army. Once the capital's position can no longer be sustained, the Southwest Army can retreat to Luzhou and stick to it. Now the Southwest Army has occupied Luzhou for almost three months. Under the rule of the Southwest Army, there is not much difference from before. Several gates of Luzhou City can even enter and exit normally.

At this time, Li Xin was sitting under the gazebo in the back garden of a mansion in Luzhou City. On the table in the gazebo, there were some small dishes and a jug of spirits.

Opposite him, sat a tall, gray-haired old man. Li Xin personally lifted the jug, filled the wine glass in front of the old man, and said with a smile: "Brother Hou is still in good health. Even if you are a young man, you probably have to lie in bed for half a year, but it took just over two months for the old brother to fully recover."

Hou Jingde, who was sitting opposite Li Xin, picked up the strong wine in front of him, and smiled wryly: "You don't have to make fun of me, it's just some trauma, so naturally you won't die."

After drinking a glass of wine with his head up, he looked at Li Xin, frowned and said: "It is said that your Southwest Army is in a stalemate with the imperial court. At this time, you, the general of the Southwest Army, are not on the front line. How can you have time to accompany me, a useless person?" drink wine?"

Li Xin raised his wine glass, toasted Hou Jingde, and said in a deep voice, "Of course I have something to discuss with my brother."

Hou Jingde is also a black face, he frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said: "Brother Li, I probably know what you are going to do, but at the moment the court probably thinks that I am dead, maybe all the pensions have been sent to my family. Sometimes I just want to help you, but I’m powerless.”

Speaking of this, he paused, and said slowly: "Besides, my wife and children are all in the capital, and there are two grandchildren who are only four or five years old. I can't harm them."

Li Xin chuckled: "Brother, you entered the Zuoying of the Forbidden Army in the early years of Taikang, and have been cultivating the Zuoying for more than ten years. At this time, it doesn't matter who says you are dead. In the camp, it is better than any imperial decree. Besides, I don't want you to help my Southwest Army rebel. I just want you to hold the Imperial Army's left camp for two hours. After two hours, the matter will naturally be resolved, and a new dynasty will be established in the future. , brother, you are a great hero again."

Hou Jingde frowned and remained silent.

With a smile on his face, Li Xin continued: "Brother, you have lived with me for more than two months, and you have recovered seven to eighty-eight at this time. If I do nothing and send you back to the capital, even if I If you don’t tell anyone where you have been for the past two months, what should you say when someone asks you after you return to Beijing?”

"Will the court still believe you?"

"In the future when the Southwest Army retreats to the Southwest, I, Li Xin, will still be rich and honored for a lifetime, but once Emperor Yuanzhao reorganizes his government, how can we have a good end for your Hou family?"

"At that time, brother, your wife and children will be implicated by you."

Hou Jingde looked up at Li Xin, frowning deeply: "Is this what you planned early in the morning?"

"Can't say that."

Li Xin shook his head slightly, and said: "No one can predict everything. For example, I never thought that you would personally lead the imperial army out of the city to attack the camp. It is a surprise to invite you back, Brother Hou."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Brother, think about the change of Renchen Palace more than ten years ago."
