Unparalleled Concubine

Because Li Xin didn't want to completely turn against the court, nor was he ready to completely turn against the court.

His family is still in the capital, and most of his roots are in the capital. He came to the southwest to help Hanzhou out of the siege, not to rebel.

Therefore, he had to cover his face, otherwise there would be no step down in this matter in the end.

Of course, if the emperor refused to pretend that he didn't recognize him, then he had no choice but to turn the table and stop playing.

However, Li Xin was prepared for all of this.

Based on Li Xin's understanding of the Son of Heaven, as long as he led the Hanzhou Army to defeat the so-called Southwest Allied Forces of the imperial court this time, then the Son of Heaven would not be able to turn his back on him.

The Son of Heaven would even help him to cover up the black scarf on his face, and help him make this shit happen.

Mu Ying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "This is not a place to talk, Mr. Li, let's go to the city to talk!"

As he spoke, he took out his longbow from behind, shot and killed a soldier of the imperial court with one arrow, and said to Li Xin, "Go!"

"I brought out two thousand cavalrymen and tore a hole, but it couldn't last long. We must retreat to Hanzhou as soon as possible!"

Li Xin shook the reins of the Mozhao horse in his hand, and said to Mu Ying with a smile: "When will the cavalry be recruited, there are still thousands of cavalry, General Mu is so generous!"

As he said that, his Mo Xiaoma rushed into the chaotic formation and rushed in the direction of Hanzhou.

Mu Ying followed behind him, laughing and said: "Didn't I write to you two years ago, saying that I had acquired thousands of good horses? You are too busy with work, so you forgot!"

As for Li Xin of the Hanzhou Army, it was only a remote control, which gave Mu Ying the greatest power. What the two of them said was just joking, and had no other meaning.

The number of people led by Pei Jin may be too many, but the entire southwest is full of infantry, and there are basically no cavalry, so his defense line is easily torn apart by these two thousand cavalry. When they wanted to surround and eat the two thousand cavalry, the cavalry quickly retreated and fled back to the city of Hanzhou.

After receiving the news, General Pei glanced at Hanzhou City with hatred, and gritted his teeth.

A few days ago, he led an attack on Hanzhou City. The situation was not ideal. The Hanzhou Army in Hanzhou City was not the mob he imagined. The troops stationed in these places took a look and chased after the forbidden army.

This led to the siege, in which Pei Jin suffered heavy losses, thousands of people died, and there was no result.

He could only bite the bullet and continue to surround Hanzhou City tightly.

…………

On the other side, under the cover of two thousand cavalrymen, Li Xin and the others broke into Hanzhou City abruptly. After the suspension bridge of Hanzhou City fell, Mu Yingcai jumped off the bay red horse, and walked for a long time. He let out a sigh of relief.

He wiped the blood from his face, then looked at Li Xin, and said with a smile, "Master Hou, are you alright?"

Over the years, Li Xin had many subordinates, but not many friends. After counting, only two contemporaries, Zhao Jia and Mu Ying, could call him Li Chang'an in person.

Although he and Muying also have some superior-subordinate relationships, the relationship between friends and partners is more important.

Li Xin jumped off Mo Xiao's horse, then patted the big black horse's buttocks, and pulled out a not-deep arrow branch from its thigh, blood flowed immediately.

"I'm fine, but it suffers."

While treating its wound, Li Xin found a piece of cloth to bandage it up.

They did not change horses along the way, that is to say, Mo Cai's horse carried him for thousands of miles in more than ten days. But just after entering the city, it even shot a few arrows at people. If the horse's muscles were not strong, its leg might be useless.

Mu Ying is also a horse lover. He went up and patted Mo Xiao's big head, and said with a smile, "Xiao Hei is very strong, he will be fine in a few days."

Li Xin had two dark horses in total, the first one was called "Wu Yun". During the Renchen Palace, it broke open the inner city gate because of Li Xin, so that Wu Yun was shot directly and died within two years.

This black horse came later.

Mu Ying recognized these two horses. He called Wu Yun "Da Hei", and this horse Mo Xiao was "Little Hei".

Hearing this, Li Xin patted Mo Xiao's huge horse's head, turned his head and smiled at Mu Ying: "I haven't been to the southwest for many years, let's go, take me to see Uncle Mu, and say hello to the old man."

Mo Xiao was injured, and Li Xin couldn't bear to ride it anymore, so he found another horse, mounted it with Mu Ying, and planned to go to Mu's house.

Before leaving, he looked back at Shen Gang.

"You are also tired, it's best to rest for a few days, I still need you to do things."

Both Shen Gang and Wang Tao bowed their heads and cupped their fists at Li Xin: "I obey my orders."

Only then did Li Xin and Mu Ying get on their horses and head towards Mu's house.

The two of them were not riding fast. Li Xin sat on the horse and asked, "Who is attacking the city from the imperial court?"

After this incident happened, because of the distance and the siege of Hanzhou City, the communication between the two people was only two letters. At this time, Li Xin didn't know much about the situation in the Southwest.

Mu Ying took a deep breath.

"You should recognize this man, Lord Marquis."

"Pei Jin, Pei Sanlang."

Sitting on the horseback, Li Xin nodded slightly.

"It was him."

Li Xin was silent for a while, then continued to ask: "Has he attacked the city these days?"

"I attacked Hanzhou City the day before yesterday, and it took two full days to retreat."

A wry smile appeared on Mu Hei's face.

"In two days, our Hanzhou army killed 3000 people and injured 3000 people before we drove Pei Jin back and consumed a lot of supplies for defending the city."

"If General Pei can attack the city for ten days with this intensity, I probably won't be able to defend it."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

"Many people should have died on his side, otherwise a person like Pei Jin, who is eager to make contributions, would not retreat."

Li Xin knew Pei Jin too well.

As a former court minister, Pei Jin was eager to show himself in front of the Emperor Taikang. Now that he had received such a big job, he definitely wanted to take down Hanzhou as soon as possible and return to Beijing to report to the emperor.

Along the way, Mu Ying briefly explained the current situation in Hanzhou to Li Xin, then he looked up at Li Xin and asked, "Master Hou, have you... contacted Li Shuo?"

Li Xin frowned: "Why contact him?"

"There are tens of thousands of Pingnan troops around Li Shuo, and most of them are hiding at the border between us and Tubo. If we contact him, the crisis in Hanzhou will be resolved."

Mu Ying stared at Li Xin with wide eyes.

"Master Hou, you...couldn't you just enter Hanzhou City by yourself without contacting anyone?"

Seeing Lord Jing'an nodding his head faintly, General Mu smiled wryly: "Then, Lord Hou, you might as well not come in, so that when the city of Hanzhou is destroyed, you can save a few people from dying..."
