Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 726 Zhong Xuantong's reply

About half a month ago, Li Xin sent someone to Yunzhou City and sent a letter to Chong Xuantong. The content of the letter was also very simple. He probably asked about the current situation of Yunzhou City, and how the court would return What should Yunzhou City do?

   After all, the Yuwen tribes in the north had a total of four tribes. Together, these four tribes could at least make up 100,000 elite soldiers, that is, a full 100,000 cavalry.

   Of course, the Yuwen tribes have been in decline in the past few decades. Some of them may have horses, but they don’t have good armor, and even the bows and crossbows are mostly homemade, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the Northern Zhou cavalry.

  Otherwise, if it was the 100,000 Northern Zhou cavalry in the past, then the two armies of Yunzhou and Jizhou, not to mention the conquering of the Yuwen tribes, would be a rare thing to be able to defend the border city.

   These 100,000 elites are impossible for Li Xin's Zhenbei Army to fight. At least Yunzhou City has to deal with the Qigui Division. Otherwise, no matter how brave the Zhenbei Army is, it is impossible for one enemy to three.

   At the end of the letter, Li Xin specially mentioned a sentence to the handsome Zhong from the family.

That is to say, no matter what the imperial court orders, Yunzhou City can no longer fight for the time being. If they continue to fight, Yunzhou City will definitely be able to fight off the Qigui Division, but Yuwen's four divisions If the Beggar Division is gone, the other three divisions will definitely unite, and it will be extremely difficult to try to attack the north at that time.

For Li Xin, the attitude of the Zhong family is very important. If the attitude of the Zhong family is firm towards the imperial court and does not cooperate with the Jimenguan side, then Li Xin is not ready to fight with the Yuwen tribes. He spent a few years in Jizhou City, and returned to the capital to do business.

  If the farmers are willing to cooperate with him, then things in the north will be promising.

However, the two frontier armies in the north of the Jin Dynasty had contacts with each other, which was a taboo thing. Therefore, Li Xin's letters to the Zhong family could only be sent by his own secret staff, not the imperial post road, let alone Li Xin's letters. The forbidden army with the letter.

   That night, when Li Xin was sleeping in the handsome tent, a family member of the Jing'an Hou residence walked to the entrance of the handsome tent and lowered his voice: "Master Hou, Shen Gang is here."

   Li Xin, who was originally a light sleeper, immediately woke up from his sleep. He wore a single shirt, sat up from the bed, and said solemnly, "Let him in."

Not long after, a man dressed in the clothes of the generals of the Jingan Houfu family walked in with his head down, half-kneeled in front of Li Xin, took out a letter from his sleeve, and said solemnly, "Master Hou, this is General Xuantong. reply."

  Li Xin took the letter and looked up at Shen Gang.

   "How many people did you take out of Beijing with me?"

Li Xin left the capital. On the bright side, he brought a thousand imperial guards and 50 generals, but secretly there was a group of people who followed him and left the capital. This group of people was led by Shen Gang and was hidden in the dark by Li Xin. the "hand".

From the third year of Taikang to the eighth year of Taikang, Li Xin put most of his energy on this hand in the dark. In just five years, this hand has grown from four or five people to hundreds of people. Most of these people hid in the shadows of the capital, some were in the southwest, and some were in Yongzhou, Li Xin's hometown.

   This hand, managed by Li Xin, is very thick.

   This time, when Li Xin was out of Beijing, he took Shen Gang out of the capital for convenience. As for how many people Shen Gang brought out, Li Xin did not ask.

  Shen Gang lowered his head and said solemnly: "Master Hou, a total of one hundred and seventy people will go out to Beijing with the humble post."

   He was Li Xin's subordinate in Yulinweili back then, and he still calls himself "a humble post" to this day.

   Li Xin nodded.

  One hundred and seventy people, about half of the people in the capital. Shen Gang has done a lot of work in the dark over the years, and his sense of proportion is also in line with Li Xin's mind.

   "How many are there in Jizhou City now?"

These people are no better than Li Xin's brigade. They are all light and simple, and most of them have horses. They can naturally arrive at Jizhou City before Li Xin. lurking in the city of Jizhou.

   "Hui Houye, there are more than 100 in Jizhou City, and some are scattered around Yunzhou City according to the Houye's instructions. If there is any trouble there, you can immediately inform the Houye."

   Li Xin nodded.

   "You have done a good job, you have worked hard all the way, let's go down and take a rest, and when we enter Jizhou City, let's talk about it in detail."

  Shen Gang bowed his head deeply.

   "Retired from my post."

When Li Xin entered Yu Linwei, it was this Shen Gang who spoke out to provoke the inner guards, so that the two guards fought at the gate of Yonganmen. Li Xin took up the responsibility by himself. From that time on, Shen Gang followed him. Behind Li Xin, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

   He became Li Xin's secret "backer".

  After Shen Gang stepped back, Li Xin opened the reply letter sent by Chong Xuantong, and after reading it several times under the flickering oil lamp, his face became a little complicated.

  Chong Xuantong's reply was very simple, to the effect that Yunzhou City was still in good condition. As for whether Yunzhou City would have the next move, it would depend on the arrangement of the imperial court.

   That is to say, if the court asks the Chong family to fight with the Yuwen clans, most of the Chong families will still meet.

   Lord Jingan frowned deeply.

   But as he looked down, he saw the last line at the end of the letter.

   "The Zhong family has been loyal for generations. The imperial court has edicts, and all orders are prohibited. They have never violated half a point. Today, a strong enemy is on the side. As long as the imperial court orders, the Yunzhou army has nothing but life!"

   This sentence is very official, and even if this letter is handed over to the emperor's desk by Li Xin, there will be no problem. It is indeed the style of the overly cautious family owner.

   However, this sentence also has another meaning, that is, the Yunzhou Army is also somewhat unable to withstand the powerful combat power of Yuwen's troops. If they continue to fight, they can only "life".

   No one will risk their lives, and neither will a family.

  Li Xin looked at the letter and fell into deep thought. After a while, he let out a breath, put the letter on top of the flickering oil lamp, and slowly lit it.

   His eyes looked in the direction of Yunzhou City through the night.

   "You are afraid that I will pass this letter up, but I am not afraid that you will pass my letter up."

   "Chong Family Army...Chong Family Army, would you really risk your life because of a word from the imperial court?"

  Li Xin stared blankly at the oil lamp for a while, then sighed, blew out the oil lamp in the handsome tent, and went back to the bed and closed his eyes.

  …

Early the next morning, when Li Xin had just woken up and practiced boxing at the entrance of the handsome tent, the young master Ye Mao started to assemble the army. Too much, I have already suffocated this little man.

   He couldn't wait to enter Yunzhou City. Enter Jimen Pass.

   Li Xin didn't care about him, he practiced boxing at the door of the handsome tent, and the young Zhao Fang followed behind Li Xin, imitating Li Xin's boxing.

   This is something Li Xin taught him a few years ago, and he has often practiced with Li Xin in recent years.

   After the two people finished standing up the fist pile, a thousand people had already packed up their tents and assembled.

  The young master rode a horse, walked up to Li Xin, dismounted and clasped his fists.

   "General, the last general has already assembled the soldiers, and you can leave at any time!"

   Lord Jingan nodded slightly.

   "Let's go then."

   He looked back at Zhao Fang.

   "Take your baby soldiers. Let's go together."
