Unparalleled Concubine

Lord Jing'an casually threw the letter paper to him.

"See for yourself."

Ye Maocai took the letter paper, and after reading it in detail, the big man had a complicated expression.

"The family army won a big victory."

The content of the military newspaper is very simple. About ten days ago, a small ethnic group in the Yuwen Qigui tribe, which is the closest to Yunzhou City among the Yuwen tribes, led people to rob a small village in the hinterland of Yunzhou City. Not to mention killing hundreds of people, he also robbed countless grains. After this incident, Zhong Xuantong who was stationed in Yunzhou City was furious, and immediately sent someone to Yuwen Qigui Department to question, but Yuwen The Ministry of Qigui denied it flatly, and the two sides quarreled very stiffly.

Six days ago, the Yunzhou Army finally couldn't hold back, and led an army to conquer Yuwen Qigui's tribe. The casualties were heavy, thousands of young and strong people were killed and injured, and they had to admit defeat to Yunzhou City and the Jin court.

After this battle, Zhong Xuantongcai wrote to the imperial court, asking how to deal with the Yuwen Qigui Ministry.

Seeing that Ye Mao had finished reading the battle report, Li Xin asked indifferently: "Did you see anything?"

The little father-in-law frowned and thought for a while, then said: "The Chong family army is really powerful."

Lord Jing'an narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "They fought on the grassland."

No matter what time it was, even when Ye Cheng led troops 40 years ago, the Great Jin Dynasty was not very able to compete with Northern Zhou for cavalry in open places. They are not good at horseback riding and archery, and secondly, they have to defend the city and the land, which somewhat limits their ability to perform, so they were forced out of Jimen Pass by Ye Cheng.

But 40 years have passed, not to mention that they have regained their peak combat power when they went south, but at least they have recovered. At this time, the Zhong family army fought with them on the open grassland, not in the city. between……

The strangest thing is that the Zhong Family Army still won the battle...

Li Xin pointed at this inconspicuous military newspaper, and said slowly: "Either the Yuwen tribes have become weak to a certain extent, or the strength of the Zhong family army is far beyond our imagination, otherwise... ..."

Before Li Xin could continue, the little father-in-law Ye Mao who was standing beside him took up the conversation and continued: "Otherwise, many people in the Chong family should have died."

Li Xin looked at Ye Mao with some satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You can think about things now, it's not easy."

Ye Mao sighed: "I may not be very clear about the other things, but the things on the battlefield were taught to me by my grandfather when I was young, so I can more or less guess."

"This battle report looks good, but it doesn't mention the casualties of the headquarters. It only talks about the big victory. There must be something tricky in it."

"However, the Zhong family army should not lie about the military situation, so most of them really won, but...the victory was very tragic."

Li Xinxin patted his thigh rhythmically, and said lightly: "What's worse, this beautiful-looking military newspaper has already been sent to the capital, and was seen by His Majesty and those officials. Now that they have seen this, the war between us and the Yuwen tribes will probably be unavoidable."

The Chong family hadn’t made any world-shattering achievements for decades, so they were eager to make contributions, and it’s not difficult to understand that they even did such things as breaking their teeth and swallowing blood. After the matter behind the Yunzhou Army, after reading this battle report, the imperial court will soon urge the Zhenbei Army to use troops against Yuwen's various ministries.

Speaking of this, Lord Jing'an took a look at the battle report that looked white but was actually stained red with blood, and a mocking smile appeared on his face: "Writing the military report does not write about our army's casualties. It can be done."

"What's even more bizarre is that the imperial court did not pick faults in this regard."

Ye Mao held the junior salute, stood beside Li Xin with his hands down, lowered his head and asked, "What does the general mean?"

"What can I mean?"

Li Xin said helplessly: "Since they produced this military newspaper and the court believed it, we have to believe it too. No matter what, Yunzhou City really won the battle."

"And after arriving at Jimen Pass, let's make a long-term plan."

After speaking, Li Xin walked out of the tent, looked up at the sky, and found that it was the end of the day, and the weather was not so hot. He turned his head and said to Ye Mao in a deep voice: "Send the order, the army will move out, and continue to go north."

Ye Mao bowed and cupped his fists, and shouted in a deep voice: "The general obeys orders!"

Lord Jing'an patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I received a letter from Senior Brother Ye. He has already left Jimen Pass. Let's go another hundred or two miles to the north, and we should be able to meet him." him."

Hearing Li Xin mention his father, Ye Mao shook his body slightly, bowed his head and said.

"The last general...understood."

Chapter 719

A distance of one or two hundred miles is not something that can be walked in a day or two. After all, their team is not one or two people, but more than 1000 people, basically walking, and escorting supplies and vehicles. It is not easy to walk forty or fifty miles.

In fact, they walked for three days for the two hundred miles, and they didn't arrive at a county called Zhongwu County until the fourth day.

Ye Shaobao returned from the north to the south, and Li Xin went north from the capital. The two have been sending people to contact each other. According to Ye Ming's message yesterday, he should be staying in this county today.

Li Xin was sitting on the black horse, looked up at the small county town whose walls were less than three feet high, turned his head and said, "Set up camp here and rest for a day."

It was the hottest time along the way, even though these people were the elite of the Forbidden Army, they couldn't bear it anymore. After hearing Li Xin's words, the thousand soldiers immediately cheered and went down to camp happily. up.

As for Li Xin and Ye Mao, they were riding on horses, each leading twenty or thirty generals, heading towards the gate of Zhongwu County.

Li Xin was wearing a light blue robe, which was not very conspicuous, but the young man was wearing armor, so the people in this small county naturally didn't dare to stop him, and let the group of people in respectfully.

And...there are so many soldiers stationed outside the city suddenly, the fool also knows that this group of people has a lot of background.

Li Xin and others quickly entered the city, and after asking where the previously agreed inn was, a group of dozens of riders quickly arrived at the entrance of Tongfu Inn, the largest inn in Zhongwu County. Li Xin and Ye Mao got off their horses, The dozens of family generals behind them also got off their horses, some of them looked around, some stepped forward to help the two of them hold the horses, and some followed the two of them to protect their personal safety.

A family will help Li Xin push open the door of the inn, and Li Xin and Ye Mao slowly walk into this inn which is no longer considered small.

As soon as they walked in, the shopkeepers of the inn were already frightened.

A fat shopkeeper in his 40s scrambled up to Li Xin, but instead of saluting Li Xin, he saluted Ye Mao, who was covered in armor, and bowed repeatedly: "This military lord, I don't know how to come to the shop." What are you doing?"

The little grandfather was expressionless.

"Come and find my father."

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and said in astonishment: "I don't know Father Jun..."

Li Xin on the side sighed helplessly, and showed a gentle smile to the shopkeeper.

"He can't speak clearly. Let me tell you, shopkeeper, did an old man live in your place yesterday? We have something to do with him."

"Old man..."

The fat shopkeeper thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Yesterday evening, two people, an old man and a young man, lived in the small shop. The old man looks to be five or sixty years old, and he lives in the upper room of the small shop..."

Li Xin nodded, and said calmly: "That's it, take us there."

The fat shopkeeper carefully glanced at the two people, and then at the dozens of big men in front of his house. He didn't even dare to ask why he came, and nodded repeatedly: "The villain will take the two officials there..."

As he spoke, he hurriedly led the way. Li Xin and Ye Mao looked at each other and followed behind him.

The little father-in-law was slightly behind Li Xin by half a body, and said in a low voice: "Why did father bring only one person with him, and he came back from the Zhenbei Army?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Soon, the fat shopkeeper brought them to the door of a room, and he said in a trembling voice, "You two officials, the old man is inside."

After saying this, he ran away as if fleeing.

The little father-in-law took a deep breath, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
