Unparalleled Concubine

It was November now, and the weather was getting colder. Li Xin tightened his robe, and let out a breath of white air.

"We'll talk about the future. What we have to do now is how to beat up this old boy Pei Jin severely."

As he spoke, he said to Mu Ying: "It's cold here, let's go to your study to talk."

Mu Ying nodded, and led Li Xin into the Mu family's study room. The two lit a stove in the study room, moved a low table, and sat on both sides of the low table.

After they all sat down, Mu Ying reached out and poured Li Xin a glass of wine.

"It's cold, warm up your body."

While pouring the wine, he continued, "I have sent a lot of people out these days, and I have roughly figured out the number of the imperial army. A rough estimate is already at [-] to [-]."

While talking, Mu Ying poured herself a glass of wine. After taking a sip, she continued, "As Lord Hou said, most of these troops are from the local garrisons in the southwest, and some of them are Xiangyongs transferred from various counties. There is also the Hanzhong army transferred from Hanzhong, the organization is chaotic, although there are many people, they are very ugly."

"Except for the Hanzhong Army and Jincheng's garrison, the rest are filled with numbers."

General Mu narrowed his eyes, and said: "I have stayed in the Habayashi Guard, if you can give me [-] to [-] Habayashi Lang, I will be sure to head-on and disperse these people!"

Lord Jing'an couldn't help giving Mu Ying a blank look.

"3000 Habayashi Guards, thanks to what you said, there are only [-] or [-] Habayashi Guards in the entire Jin Dynasty!"

"Just give you [-] feather forest guards, their armor and weapons, and the bows and crossbows consumed by daily training, and you will beg for food naked!"

Habayashi Guard, Neiwei, and Qianniu Guard are all soldiers of the Son of Heaven. These imperial guards in the capital cost a lot of money to raise. Take Habayashi Guard as an example. Every Habayashi Lang in Habayashi Guard is wearing black armor , the cost price is [-] to [-] guns, besides, almost everyone in Habayashi Wei is good at archery, and the bows and arrows consumed by practicing archery every day are a huge sum.

Even the imperial court of the Jin Dynasty can only support three imperial guards, and the total does not exceed 1 people. If it is [-] forest guards, even Li Xin can't afford to support them, let alone those who are not rich. Hanzhou is now.

It is because Mu Ying has served as a general in the Habayashi Guard for two years, that's why she can't forget the Habayashi Guard. For an ordinary local general, if his subordinates can wear neat clothes, it is considered a good condition.

Mu Ying coughed, and then said seriously: "Actually, my Hanzhou Army has not failed in training in the past few years. Even now, if I lead the Hanzhou Army out to fight to the death with the people of the imperial court, it is not without chance of winning, it is just a chance of winning." It's just a little lower."

He looked serious.

"In the end, there is a high probability that Pei Jin's troops will be hit hard, and then Hanzhou City will fall."

Mu Ying was born in the Habayashi Guards, and the backbone of the Hanzhou Army was also the [-] Habayashi Guards that Li Xin brought to the southwest from the capital. Therefore, most of the Hanzhou Army's daily training is based on the training of the Habayashi Guards. According to the standard, after five years, if you only talk about combat ability.They are actually not much different from Habayashiro in the capital, but their equipment is far less good than Habayashi Wei, and their shooting skills are far inferior to Habayashi Wei.

Li Xin looked calm.

"If Pei Jin wants to bring troops to attack the city, I have a way to make him suffer a big loss and turn the tide of the battle. The difficulty now is that if Pei Jin encircles and does not fight, it will be difficult to deal with it."

When Mu Ying heard Li Xin's words, she immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Lord Jing'an.

"Master, what do you mean..."

Li Xin didn't answer directly, but just said: "In the past few years, I have arranged a group of people to do things in my hometown of Yongzhou. I have asked them to come here a few days ago. It is estimated that they will arrive in a few days. It's near the Han state capital, and you'll have to take people out to pick them up when the time comes."

Mu Ying nodded, and said, "No problem, I might not be able to defeat Pei Jin in a frontal fight, but with my cavalry, it is not difficult to take some people into the city."

"There are about 100 people."

Mu Ying coughed, still patting her chest.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, there is no problem."

Lord Jing'an nodded, and said, "Since these people can enter the city, the next question is how to lure Pei to attack the city."

Having said that, Li Xin knocked on the table with his hand.

"I have an idea."

Li Xin arrived in Hanzhou City after more than ten days of driving from northern Xinjiang. During the journey, he was thinking about how to break the situation in Hanzhou. The idea to speak out was well thought out.

Mu Ying grinned: "Master Hou ordered it, and the Hanzhou Army will definitely do it."

Li Xin coughed and asked, "How long will there be enough food in Hanzhou City?"

"If you save some food, it will be enough for three months, which is February next year."

"Where's the food in the homes of the people in the city?"

"That's not clear."

Mu Ying coughed, and said: "After Hanzhou was besieged, I ordered people to control the rice shops and other places where food was bought and sold, and used part of their food as military rations, and kept the other part for preparation two months later. Porridge."

Having said that, Mu Ying paused.

"However, thinking about it, people's homes shouldn't have too much food..."

Lord Jing'an narrowed his eyes.

"Then from tomorrow, we will open the rice shop and distribute grain to the people,"

Li Xin looked calm: "Each person is limited to two catties of rice per day."

Mu Ying's face changed slightly.

"But if this continues, at most one month, the Hanzhou Army will have no food to eat!"

After being a family for five years, Mu Ying is now more sensitive to food than anyone else. He doesn't even need to calculate carefully, he can estimate how long the food can last just by feeling.

"You listen to me first."

After Li Xin was interrupted by Muying, his train of thought became confused. After sorting out his train of thought, he continued, "In addition to releasing grain, we also need to spread the news intentionally or unintentionally, saying that there is enough grain in the city. At least It can feed everyone for more than a year."

Mu Ying scratched her head: "And then?"

"And just wait."

Li Xin smiled and said: "At this time, there should be many people in Hanzhou City who are acting as eyes and ears for Pei Jin. When these eyes and ears spread the news, we are not the ones who are worried."

Chapter 748

For the past five years, Li Xin has spent all of his time in the capital, so he knows everything about you and everything in the capital.Especially a big man like Pei Jin who is in charge of the imperial army.

Naturally, Pei Jin has many advantages, such as rich experience in leading troops, solid military qualifications, and very good personal abilities, but he also has an obvious weakness, that is, his background.

To put it simply, he was not from Wei Wangfu.

In the original Renchen Palace Change, the Seventh Princes emerged from a group of princes as dark horses and succeeded in ascending to the throne. At the same time, they created a group of upstarts, the more typical ones being Li Xin, Hou Jingde, and Ye Yuan. There are three people.

This kind of "resume" can be regarded as the most valuable resume in the Taikang Dynasty, and because of this resume, the three people who participated in the palace change at the beginning are now in high positions. Not to mention Li Xingui was the crown prince and Taibao, Ye Lin also served in the Zhenbei Army He has been a lieutenant general for several years, and when he finishes mourning for his father, the imperial court will at least give him a second-rank official.

Even relatively speaking, Hou Jingde, who was the worst, temporarily took over the position of General of the Imperial Army after Pei Jin left the capital, and became the top general of the Jin court.

Because of this resume, the emperor will miss some old feelings. For example, Li Xin has abandoned the Hanzhou Army and returned to the capital to surrender. According to the temper of Emperor Taikang, he will probably not embarrass Li Xin. What, still let him be a Taiping Marquis.
