Unparalleled Concubine

According to the data he gave Li Xin earlier, more than 3000 people were killed in battle, which means that in the past few days, more than 500 people died.

This was due to the disinfection of Zhu Rongjiu, otherwise few of the more than 1000 seriously injured people under Li Xin's command would have survived.

Tetanus will cause death in later generations, let alone this age.

Li Xin was silent for a while, and put down the teacup in his hand in a somewhat dispirited manner.

"I see."

After a pause, he continued: "Leave a copy of this list with me, and you are transcribing a copy. When you get back to the capital, give a copy to His Majesty, and I will personally take the copy to the household department to ask for money."

The current power of Lord Jing'an is actually worse than that of the real six ministers, but his status is much higher than that of the six ministers. No matter who sees him in the capital, he must give him this The imperial celebrity has a face.

Of course, this is actually giving face to the emperor.

Zhao Jia sighed, and said, "Master Hou, there is no precedent for a general to go to the household department to ask for money with a list of fallen soldiers. You just hand over the list to His Majesty. If you do this, others will say you are domineering."

"Domineering is domineering."

Li Xin sneered and said, "I'm not going to look at it. Few people can get a complete pension. You can't let people risk their lives with a discount, right?"

Zhao Jia didn't speak any more.

He knew very well that the Marquis of Jingan in front of him was not a stunned young man in the traditional sense. He knew the darkness of the court better than anyone else, and he was relatively tolerant of gray areas. If his own red line is within the red line, no matter what, he can't watch others step on it.

The dog-headed military master shook his head, sighed and said: "Forget it, we are now in the enemy's hinterland, whether we can go back to the capital or not is up to you, and Hou Ye can do whatever he likes, and the subordinates can just make another copy."

Li Xin ignored him and locked himself in the study.

To be honest, he doesn't know what to do now. This time his plan to enter the enemy's belly went well, but he lacks a feasible plan to attack Mianzhu. After thinking about it, the most reliable way is actually that What the profiteer Li Jie said was poisoning.

To be honest, as the soul of future generations, Li Xin doesn't mind using any conspiracies and tricks. After all, he was educated since he was a child that no matter what color a cat is, a cat is a good cat if it can catch mice, but poisoning food is too much Leaving nothing to say, the success rate is not high, so Lord Jing'an wisely gave up this plan.

Just as he was frowning in the study, a personal guard from Habayashi guard knocked on Li Xin's door lightly, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, there is someone outside the residence who wants to see you."

"Why does everyone want to see me?"

Li Xin in the study put down the miscellaneous books in his hand, frowned and said, "Who, if it's the squires in Fu County, let them go, I don't have time to see them."

The personal guard hesitated for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, he is an old man who calls himself Mu."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open.

The anxious Lord Jing'an pushed open the door without any image, and grabbed the guard's skirt.

"Quick, take me to see him!"

The guard was taken aback, and quickly led Li Xin to the door to meet people, only to see an old man in his fifties at the door, standing with his hands down, waiting at the door of the mansion.

Li Xin was overjoyed, and quickly stepped forward to bow to the old man.

"Li Xin met Uncle Mu!"

During this period of time, there are only two people in the Mu family who are qualified to discuss matters with Li Xin, one is Mu Ying who leads the troops, and the other is Mu Qing who is still the head of the Mu family.

"I dare not be a gift from Lord Hou..."

Mu Qing quickly helped Li Xin up.

Li Xin took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, and said with a smile: "The letter is to ask Brother Mu to come to see me, why didn't Brother Mu come, but Uncle Mu came?"

"Mu Ying can't leave."

Mu Qing bent slightly, lowered her eyebrows and said: "According to Lord Hou's intention, the old man has already handed over all the troops he got from His Highness to Mu Ying. He should not go away at this moment, and he can't go away either. So the old man came for him."

Li Xin nodded in satisfaction.

"Uncle Mu, please."

Chapter 520 Love

Because of the tense situation in the Southwest, the communication between Li Xin and Mu's family was greatly blocked, so there was not much contact with each other. After Li Xin drove Mu Ying back to Mu's house, the two of them only exchanged three or four letters. .

To be honest, Li Xin was somewhat worried.

Even if it is His Majesty the Emperor, there is a saying that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if some people act recklessly and mischievously, Li Xin and Mu Ying are not in the same superior-subordinate relationship as they used to be. Will be somewhat worried.

If Mu Ying turned her back and stopped helping Li Xin, then Li Xin would be passive in the southwest, and he might even die in Fucheng!

So the arrival of the head of the Mu family made Li Xin very happy.

Li Xin led him all the way to the study room of the county government office, gave him a junior gift, poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and then sat down opposite Mu Qing with a smile on his face.

"From Hanzhou to here, there are many difficulties and dangers along the way. How did Uncle Mu get here?"

Mu Qing smiled: "Master Hou, this Southwest area used to be Nanshu for more than 100 years. We, the remnants of Nanshu, may not have much ability now, so we can only hide and linger, but there is no problem where we want to go haha."

The Southwest has been occupied by the Pingnan Army for more than 30 years, but the Pingnan Army is an outsider after all, and the Nanshu survivors led by Li Xing are still active, so the old Nanshu still holds a high status in the hearts of Shu County people. As Mu Qing, it is not difficult to go from Hanzhou to Fucheng by bypassing Mianzhu. If he wants, he can even pass through Mianzhu City to Fucheng.

Lord Jing'an was stunned for a moment, then he understood the meaning of Mu Qing's words. He toasted Mu Qing with a cup of tea and said with a smile, "It's Li Xin who underestimated Uncle Mu's abilities."

Mu Qing didn't dare to be negligent, and raised her teacup half an inch lower than Li Xin.

Li Xin asked with a smile: "Uncle Mu, how is the situation with Brother Mu?"

"Alright."

Mu Qing put down her teacup, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Mu Ying basically has the final say on the people we get from His Royal Highness, but the Pingnan Army has always been worried about us, so they sent a partial division to fight hard. Keeping an eye on Hanzhou City, once Mu Qing makes any changes, this side division will react immediately and stop Mu Qing in Hanzhou."

Li Xin frowned and said, "How many people are in this partial division?"

"It's estimated to be [-] to [-]."

Mu Qing frowned and said, "The problem is not how many people they have. The problem is that we are unlikely to clear up these 2 people in one fell swoop. As long as we give them breathing room, Jincheng is on the edge of Hanzhou. When the time comes, we will You can't beat the Pingnan Army."

In fact, according to Li Xin's calculations, it is absolutely impossible for the remaining Pingnan Army in Jincheng to be too many. 5 people make a big difference.

There are indeed 5 men under Mu Ying, but Nanshu has been subjugated for more than 30 years. Although these [-] strong men can gather together under the call of His Highness Li Xing, they cannot be regarded as regular troops after all. It can be said that it is the militia.

Although I don't want to admit it, compared with the Pingnan Army, with the same strength, Mu Ying's troops have absolutely no chance of winning.

Therefore, Mu Ying's 5 people were firmly focused on Hanzhou City by Li Shen's 2 people.

Hearing this, Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a long time, and then said in a deep voice, "Uncle Mu, I can help you hold back the main force of the Pingnan Army in Jincheng. How long will it take for you to get rid of the partial army that Li Shen placed near Hanzhou City?"

Mu Qing was stunned.

Although I don't quite understand what the young Lord Hou in front of me is capable of holding back the main force of the Pingnan Army under such a situation, but after all, most of what Li Xin said before has been realized, so Patriarch Mu still trusts Li Xin very much Yes, upon hearing this, he thought about it for a long time, and finally replied seriously: "At least it will take twenty days."
