Longevity: I am in the quiet garden, the sun and the moon

A few days later, the imperial edict came down.

There were no surprises, everything was as Xing Bang said.

In fact, what Xing Bang said was an imperial edict, and Liu Xian was just going through a formal procedure.

During this period, Liu Li executed Meng Zhihai's entire family, except the female relatives, on that day.

In this world, blatantly leaving a female family behind seems to be a heavier punishment.

All the men were killed, and the women were kept as slaves or sent to the Jiaofang Department. For the imperial court, the remaining heat could still be used.

To put it bluntly, these days, women are just victims of changing times.

Also, after Liu Li killed Meng Zhihai, he also revealed one thing, that is, his defection to Northern Qi was a private conspiracy between the Crown Prince and Meng Zhihai, and had nothing to do with him.

At this point, Liu Li finally severed the father-son relationship with his rebellious son. He also admitted that after rejoining the imperial court, he would one day execute his rebellious son with his own hands.

In fact, what we have done is mainly to explain to the officers and soldiers of the three armies.

In this way, the officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army naturally had no objections. They were all from Dayao. In any case, it was better than going to Northern Qi and becoming a lonely ghost.

Also, Liu Li was not vague at all. In a few days, he selected a hundred beauties.

This is to honor His Majesty the Emperor, everything is so natural!

Xing Bang didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and he only read the books of sages.

The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu...

In a word, everything was completed in an orderly manner amidst the romance.

As soon as the imperial edict arrived, Liu Li and the entire Zhenbei Army felt reassured.

Now that everyone in the world knows it, we have a safe source of support.

Naturally, Xing Bang could no longer stand aside and watch what happened next.

It was also planned in advance.

Liu Li had no objections and agreed to lead the army to withdraw from Yanjing City.

This is something that everyone understands, and it is also the sincerity that Liu Li needs to show to the court.

To put it bluntly, as long as the upfront money and food can support it, it is not difficult for Liu Li's several cities that originally belonged to Ye Qin to stand firm.

What's more, the huge reserves of money and food in the north made Xing Bang smack his lips. They were enough to support the entire Zhenbei Army for a year or two without any worries.

To put it bluntly, these are all things Liu Li has accumulated over the years.

Of course, Xing Bang cannot be taken away by him...

In short, no matter what, the initiative is in Xing Bang's hands.

……

Two more days passed.

Liu Li led two 10,000+ troops to withdraw from Yanjing City.

Xing Bang did not let him take them all away. With the help of Liu Zhixi, he left behind some more loyal and reliable generals, which naturally left behind [-] to [-] soldiers.

The responsibility of guarding the northern border naturally falls on these people.

Also, Liu Li, who was quite shrewd at the critical moment, left all the family members of the generals who followed him on the expedition in Yanjing City.

Anyway, he himself is a polished commander. This will not only make the court feel more at ease, but also make him feel more at ease.

With nothing to worry about, these soldiers could only follow him to attack the city and destroy the stronghold.

There is no way out, and we are working hard to carve out a future for ourselves.

In order to be sure, Xing Bang left behind Xiong Kuohai and [-] soldiers to take charge of military affairs in the north.

He was going back to Beijing, so he couldn't turn a blind eye. He had to leave behind his confidants.

Then, Xing Bang returned to the camp with Cui Daimei, Liu Zhixi and his daughter, as well as a hundred beauties who paid tribute to his emperor brother Liu Xian.

Meng Zhihai's family members only selected a few, leaving the rest to Xiong Kuohai.

Xing Bang did not let all the army set up camp, leaving a hundred thousand troops still on standby.

To be honest, it's just a matter of preparedness.

If Liu Li, with his 20 troops, cannot even stand in Ye Qin's land, then he will die outside.

Then, Xing Bang did not delay, and slowly marched towards the capital with the remaining army.

Anyway, someone will always report the military information in the northern border, and nearly 20 troops have been left for the time being, which can fully cope with all emergencies.

Xing Bang was in a great mood and wished he could return to the palace as soon as possible. He really felt homesick...
