Unparalleled Concubine

"This time you go out of Beijing alone, don't move a single member of the imperial army, and startle the snake for free. This troop dispatch order can mobilize 13 troops from Hanzhou, [-] troops from Jincheng, and garrisons from all over the Southwest. After counting, there are more than [-] people in total, although these people are not as elite as the imperial guards, they are barely usable."

The emperor's eyes were deep, and he said coldly: "Pei Jin, listen carefully."

General Pei bowed his head respectfully.

"Your Majesty ordered."

"In the southwest, not far from Jincheng, there is Hanzhou Mansion!"

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "There are about 10,000+ households in this Hanzhou mansion. If you live in Hanzhou city, you only have about [-] households, but these [-] households have a total of [-] soldiers." horse!"

"In the past few years, the imperial court has basically not issued ring silver to them. Do you know why?"

Pei Jin bowed his head and said, "I am stupid."

"Because these people are all survivors of the old Southern Shu, and they are the rebels of the Jin Dynasty!"

Emperor Taikang gritted his teeth and said: "To this day, more than 40 years have passed, and there are still [-] Southern Shu troops in the southwest of my country. They do not obey the imperial court's command and are not dispatched by the imperial court!"

"Pei Jin, listen carefully."

The emperor said in a low voice: "I will give you half a year, at most next year, I want the Hanzhou government to become the Hanzhou government of my Dajin, not their Nanshu anti-thief den!"

General Pei nodded first, and then said: "Your Majesty... I heard that there is going to be a war in the north. Isn't it a little bad to start a war there at this time..."

The emperor was expressionless.

"I want you to do it, and you do it."

"If you level the southwest to Zhen, the one in the north will work harder."

Pei Jin didn't know if he understood, his face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "I understand."

He hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "Your Majesty, after the city of Hanzhou was broken, those survivors of Southern Shu..."

The Son of Heaven didn't answer this question directly, but said flatly: "I... don't want to see them."

Pei Jin took a deep breath, stuffed the envelope into his arms, and said in a low voice, "I understand."

"I'm going down to get ready now, I'll take my leave first."

As he spoke, he slowly exited Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Taikang, who stayed in Weiyang Palace, turned his gaze to the north.

"I transferred you out of Beijing..."

"It's not just for the Yuwen tribes."

Chapter 734

No one is foolish.

Five years ago, the lies that Li Xin told when he returned to Beijing, apart from the real Chunyang who couldn't be verified because of his death, most of the other things were thoroughly investigated by the emperor.

What made the emperor fear the most were the 5 people who came from nowhere in the Hanzhou mansion, and the Pingnan army who ran out of Jincheng and disappeared.

The Pingnan Army has no way to control it. After all, they are either scattered in the deep mountains, or they went to the western border with Li Shuo, but the Hanzhou Mansion is right there. People are regarded as thorns in the flesh.

The relationship between him and Li Xin has not yet reached the point of turning his face. He did not intend to attack Li Xin when he attacked Hanzhou Mansion. On the contrary, he wanted to pull out all of Li Xin's minions, and then let his prince Be too safe.

Of course, when the imperial court wanted to use him, they would equip him with some imperial minions.

This matter has been planned by the emperor for a long time.

At the very beginning, he didn't want to use such drastic means to deal with the Hanzhou army, so he invited Li Xing, the great highness of the Nanshu survivors, into the capital, trying to use Li Xing to erase the threat of the Hanzhou army.

But it is a pity that not long after Li Xing entered Beijing, he was killed by the Lord Jing'an himself with a sword, so that the emperor had no other choice but to use this relatively drastic method.

This matter has been thought of since he started to plan for the north.

The Son of Heaven knew in his heart that if Li Xin was in the capital, no matter what action he wanted to make to the southwest, he would get Li Xin's opposition. Even if the objection was invalid, Li Xin would respond quickly. In the southwest situation, the wish of the emperor may not be fulfilled.

Therefore, he had to get Li Xin out of the capital.

Now, it is the late autumn of the eighth year of Taikang, more than three months have passed since Li Xin left Beijing, and the emperor has also prepared for this for more than three months.

In the past three months, he has been asking the Ministry of Finance to collect grain and grass in Hanzhong, the gateway to the southwest.

Until now, when everything was almost ready, he called Pei Jin into the palace and ordered Pei Jin to set off to attack the southwest.

Pei Jin going out of Beijing alone will not cause too much trouble. When others go to the southwest to attack, even if Li Xin wants to take action, it will be too late.

After all, the south and the north are separated by more than a few thousand miles. Even if the Zhenbei Army is willing to rush to the southwest with Li Xin, it will take four or five months to go all the way, and it is too late.

Besides, it is impossible for the Pingnan Army to do such a thing.

As for Li Xin going crazy, it is unlikely that he would give up the defense of Northern Xinjiang or surrender to the enemy. Even if Li Xin himself was willing to do such a thing, the Zhenbei Army or the Ye family would not be able to do such a thing.

After all the calculations, the most serious consequences of the emperor's actions are nothing more than Li Xin's deliberate defeat to the Yuwen tribes in the north in order to vent his anger. This consequence is completely acceptable to the emperor.

After all, it is Ye Family's Zhenbei Army, no matter how many people die, he will not feel bad.

And based on what he knew about Li Xin, Li Xin couldn't do such a thing.

No matter how you look at it, there is nothing wrong with this plan.

As for why he was in such a hurry to destroy the Hanzhou government...

Of course it’s not because the people in Hanzhou are the adherents of Nanshu. Nanshu has been overthrown for more than 40 years, and there are no real citizens of Nanshu. The reason why the emperor hates Hanzhou so much is not because they are from Nanshu, but because ...

They will be used by Li Xin!

He had to pull out all of Li Xin's minions, so that his Lord Jing'an could honestly be a courtier for the rest of his life.

Never let what happened to Li Shen happen again!

The Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair with a blank expression on his face, quietly looking to the north.

Xiao Zheng stood in front of the emperor with his hands down, respectfully said: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

The emperor recovered from his contemplation, turned his head and glanced at the eunuch who had been with him for many years, and said slowly: "Xiao Zheng."

Eunuch Xiao immediately bowed his head: "The servant is here."

"Do you know Li Xin?"

Xiao Zheng, who was dressed in a big red robe, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The servant has a lot of contact with Lord Li, so I dare not say I understand, but I know something."
