Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin's voice was not loud, but soon some people from Anbu half-kneeled in front of him.

General Li said in a calm voice, "Starting tomorrow, the Anbu in the capital will be mobilized to let the people in the capital know as much as possible that the Southwest Army will storm the capital in a few days."

The man immediately bowed his head, his voice hoarse: "This subordinate will do it now."

After the man retreated, Li Xin summoned another general of the Southwest Army, and said: "Starting tomorrow, lead people to call for battle under the capital, make it louder, and let them go out of the city to fight us."

The general immediately bowed his head: "The last general will go to prepare."

After speaking, he also backed out.

After a while, Li Xin issued another order to Li Shuo, ordering the Ningzhou Army not to stop bombarding the capital for the next few days, and prepared to play the trick of "crying wolf".

After finishing everything, Li Xin thought about it several times, and finally he couldn't think of any mistakes, and then he lay down on his couch weakly.

Because he was a little tired, he soon became sleepy and narrowed his eyes slightly.

In a daze, Li Xin seemed to see a familiar figure, walked into his handsome tent from the outside, and said a few words to himself.

It's a pity that this person's voice was so vague that it was impossible to hear clearly.

However, this person's face gradually became clearer. After Li Xin saw this person's appearance clearly, he was taken aback. He suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and his back was covered in cold sweat!

He glanced around his handsome tent, only to find that it was empty.

General Li wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and after calming down a bit, he gritted his teeth and cursed.

"It's useless for you to come and scare me."

"Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, I must go to the capital and vent my depression over the years!"

Chapter 1096

The next day, the Southwest Army sent a call for crusade to the capital. Li Shuo sent dozens of messengers to stand under the capital and yell at them. .

These messengers scolded quite badly. They wished they could scold the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi, and they used official Chinese mixed with a Bashu accent. After cursing all morning, everyone in the Imperial Guards guarding the city looked ugly.

However, under Zhong Xuantong's strong order, the imperial army still guarded the city wall, and no one went out to fight. Many soldiers of the imperial army who were more irritable used cloth strips to plug their ears to prevent themselves from hearing the slanderous words from the city. foul language.

In addition to yelling and scolding ordinary soldiers, the Southwest Army also wrote a formal official statement and sent it to the imperial court in the capital. Surrender, the Southwest Army will storm the capital in three days, and blood will inevitably flow.

This is both a gauntlet and a threatening letter.

However, at this time, there is absolutely no reason for the capital to open the city and surrender. This proclamation was sent in just to remind the court that the Southwest Army will storm the capital in three days.

The proclamation was quickly delivered to Zhong Xuantong. The old general frowned after reading the content of the proclamation, and then saw the bright red seal of the Southwest General where the proclamation was signed, his frown deepened.

The old general put away his proclamation and shook his head.

"Li Changan is gloomy and introverted, how could he suddenly do such an arrogant and domineering act?"

After he ordered the left and right guards to guard the city wall, he took this document all the way into the imperial city, and then delivered the document to the emperor in Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Yuanzhao has not been in good spirits during this time, often restless sleep, restless pillows, and heavy dark circles on his face. After he received this letter, he read it first, then glanced at Zhong Xuantong, He opened his mouth and asked, "The old general thinks, what is Li Ni's intention when he suddenly sent such an invitation to fight?"

It has been more than two months since the soldiers of the Southwest Army came to the city. It is reasonable to say that even if the call to arms was sent, it should have been sent more than two months ago, not at this time.

Zhong Xuantong lowered his head, cupped his hands at the emperor, and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the old minister has already thought about this matter along the way, and with Li Xin's temperament, it is unlikely that he will do something completely useless, but the old minister really can't think of it. What is the use of a letter of appeal?"

"If the Southwest Army is going to storm the capital in three days, then it will be much better if you don't tell the truth and give the imperial court a surprise attack. There is no reason to say hello to the imperial court before the storm..."

Emperor Yuanzhao showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"It's been more than two months. The Southwest Army has been trying for so long, but it still can't shake the capital. It's finally at the end of its rope."

"This proclamation is nothing more than a posturing to frighten the imperial court."

The emperor snorted and said, "If he really has the ability to storm the capital, he won't be afraid to move for two months."

Zhong Xuantong lowered his head slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the Yunzhou Army is on its way to help the capital right now, and it cannot be ruled out that Li Xin received the news and wanted to make a final move. No matter what Li Xin's thoughts are, the court will It’s about being fully prepared.”

"It's natural."

The Son of Heaven said in a deep voice: "The left and right battalions of the forbidden army and the Ankang army of the Hanzhong army are all handed over to the old general. If necessary, my three forbidden guards can also be handed over to the old general. After the wave, they should return without success."

Speaking of this, the emperor gritted his teeth and said: "My capital of the Jin Dynasty was blocked by Li Ni for two months. This kind of shame will be remembered by generations of the Ji family!"

"One day, I must return the original to Li Ni!"

After two months of stalemate, the capital is no longer as scared as it was two months ago. Even Emperor Yuanzhao, who was in panic all day long two months ago, now has some confidence.

Zhong Xuantong faintly felt that something was wrong, but he still nodded and said: "What your majesty said is that the old minister will do his best to keep the capital."

The emperor took a deep look at Zhong Xuantong, and said with emotion: "The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, and the toughness knows the loyal ministers."

"The old general was old enough to guard the capital for several months. After receiving the imperial edict, General Zhongwu rushed to the capital to serve the king non-stop. When the critical moment came, he showed the loyalty of the Zhong family."

Zhong Xuantong lowered his head and said, "This is the job of the Zhong family."

Speaking of this, the old general sighed: "It's just that once the Yunzhou army withdraws from Yunzhou, the northern border will no longer have the power to resist the enemy, and Jiangbei may be trampled by the Xianbei barbarians..."

Emperor Yuanzhao also frowned slightly, and then said in a muffled voice: "This is all Li Ni's crime. I have treated him like the grace of heaven for several generations of emperors. In the end, this man still conspired to raise private soldiers and plot wrongdoings. If he hadn't rebelled, The imperial court will not transfer the Yunzhou army back to the capital!"

"Even if one of the people in Jiangbei died because of this, it was all killed by Li Ni!"

Chong Xuantong shook his head and smiled wryly: "Whoever is responsible at this time will not be able to save the people in Jiangbei."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, old general, my court already has sky thunder. When the southwestern rebels retreat, the court has the weapon of sky thunder. It should be easy to take back Jiangbei."

The old general Zhong sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I hope so."

…………

Outside the capital city, in the Ningzhou army camp.

Li Xin was sitting in the handsome tent, and opposite him was the tall and tall Mu Ying.

A table of side dishes and two jugs of Zhurong wine were placed in front of the two of them.

At this time, Li Shuo, who was in charge of the main attack, was deploying the Ningzhou Army. Obviously, he was not free, and only Mu Ying could sit down and have a few drinks with Li Xin.

Mu Ying raised her wine glass, toasted Li Xin, and then said with a smile: "Why did the general think of asking me for a drink today?"

Li Xin clinked a glass with him, raised his head and drank it down.

"There is nothing to do, so I can't ask you to drink?"

Mu Ying grinned: "Of course, the general can come to me whenever he wants to drink."
