Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 746 Mu Family's Thoughts

Li Xin sat next to Mu Qing and said, "Right now, Hanzhou City should only be garrisoned in some places in the southwest, and none of the 300,000 Imperial Army near Gyeonggi has moved, otherwise I should have received it long ago. The news, reacted."

   "The garrison in these southwest places is not very difficult to deal with. With the fifty thousand people in Hanzhou City, I may not be sure to completely wipe them out, but there is no problem in retreating the enemy, but it is limited to that."

   Li Xin let out a sigh of relief and continued, "But the imperial court is not limited to these local troops."

"In the Gyeonggi area, there are nearly 300,000 forbidden troops, in the northern Xinjiang there are more than 200,000 Zhenbei Army and Zhongjia Army, and in the northwest there are tens of thousands of frontier troops resisting Tubo, plus local garrisoned troops all over Dajin. , Xiang Jun, wait..."

   Li Xin glanced at Mu Qing and said a desperate number.

   "Even if the frontier troops in the northwest and north cannot move, according to the most conservative estimates, the Dajin court can use nearly 500,000 people at this time with all its strength..."

If the Southern Jin Dynasty 40 years ago was still a small dynasty, then after two generations of Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde, the country has become a unified behemoth. In the period of Emperor Wu years ago, the quality might be inferior, but the quantity was absolutely crushed.

After a pause, the Marquis of Jing'an continued: "And this is only a conventional combat force. In an emergency, the imperial court and the Ministry of War can urgently recruit troops. At that time, as long as the food supply is sufficient, hundreds of thousands of troops will be recruited in a few months. It's no problem!"

   Having said that, Li Xin looked at Mu Qing and asked slowly, "So, Uncle Mu still thinks that we can pose any threat to the Ji family's court?"

   Mu Qing's face was a little ugly, but she didn't speak.

Li Xin sighed slightly and continued: "The reason why today's emperor dares to use troops against the southwest while letting me go north is because he has already crushed it in terms of absolute strength. If he dares to do this, he will Thought he might push me back, but he did it anyway, which means he wasn't afraid."

At the beginning, the Pingnan Army dared to rebel because the Emperor Taikang had just ascended the throne and could not control the power of the entire court. Moreover, at that time, they had the title of Prince Ji Ku in their hands, and the capital could not restrain the power of the entire country. For their own use, so the Pingnan Army would dare to rebel.

  Once Li Xin rebels now, he will not only be a nameless teacher, but he will also have no name and no position. At that time, what he will face is the unified dynasty that was still in its heyday.

  The 50,000 people in Hanzhou City will be destroyed under the huge state machinery in an instant.

   But if Li Xin rebels now, it is not without a chance of winning.

First of all, unless it is time for the subjugation of the country, the Zhongjia Army and the Zhenbei Army will definitely not come to the southwest. Li Xin is most likely to face the imperial court's forbidden army and local troops from various places. If one of the vassal kings of Luo Fan is chosen as a righteous name, then there will be the possibility of counter-attacking the imperial court.

   However, this is only the worst plan…

   At the very least, Li Xin was not going to do this until he took his wife and children out of the capital.

Hearing Li Xin's words, Mu Qing was silent for a long time, and then he looked at Li Xin again and asked, "But things have already become like this, and it's no different from a public fallout. What does Master Hou plan to do? deal with this mess?"

   "It's easy."

Li Xin said with a smile: "The reason why the emperor dared to use troops in Hanzhou so casually is because he thinks that Hanzhou is a soft persimmon and can handle it at will. He even only used the garrison in some places in the southwest, as well as the garrison in Hanzhong. I just want to take Hanzhou City."

The local garrison in Dajin is very different from the central banned army in combat power. The local garrison not only has much poorer food and rations, but also the training intensity is vastly different from that of the banned army. More importantly, in order to prevent the local army from getting bigger, every year Some outstanding soldiers will also be selected from various local armies and filled into the forbidden army, which leads to a great difference in the combat power between the local garrison and the imperial forbidden army.

   In the entire Jin Dynasty, except for the frontier army, there was basically no other army that could compete with the forbidden army.

The reason why the Son of Heaven dared to assign this is because the "Hanzhou Army" five years ago had an unimaginable combat power. After all, it was an army that Mu Ying and others forcibly cobbled together. During the confrontation, the Pingnan Army only needed to divide 10,000 people to watch the 50,000 Hanzhou Army, which shows how bad the Hanzhou Army was at that time.

   "We just need to let the mouth that the court stretched out, knock out a few teeth, and even make them suffer heavy losses. In this way, the court will be more cautious when it comes to Hanzhou."

   Mu Qing pondered for a while, then nodded: "How sure is the Marquis?"

   "At least eighty percent."

   Li Xin answered without hesitation.

   "Before the spring of next year, the siege of Hanzhou will disappear. If not, Li Xin will bind himself to Beijing, how can he keep the people of Hanzhou safe."

   The implication of this sentence is that the Hanzhou army may not be able to keep it at that time.

   Mu Qing got up and bowed deeply to Li Xin.

   "Master Hou is also at ease, no matter what happens to the people of Hanzhou in the future, the Mu family and Master Hou will live and die together."

   After he finished speaking, he sighed and said, "The old man is getting old, and the matter of war will be left to you young people to discuss, but there is a word, the old man shamelessly reminds Li Houye."

  Li Xin got up and held the ceremony of the younger generation.

Mu Qing bowed her head slightly and said, "Master Hou, even if you took over this matter, it will be a cure for the symptoms rather than the root cause. As long as the root cause is still there, there will be a next time. I know better than an old man like me, and if you want to come, Lord Hou will have a way to deal with it."

After   , he gave Li Xin a deep bow.

"The old man said this not because he was worried about the life and death of the Mu family, but about the future fate of Lord Hou. Lord Hou is a smart man, and he is the best in the world in planning the bureau and even the country, but now, it's time to seek life. It's time."

   "No matter what the Marquis chooses, the Hanzhou Mu family, only the Marquis will follow."

   Having said that, this elder of Li Xin kneeled down in front of Li Xin with a solemn expression.

   Mu Ying didn't dare to stand when she saw her father kneeling down, she followed behind Mu Qing and knelt down to Li Xin.

  Li Xin was silent for a while, then reached out to help the old man up from the ground, his voice slightly hoarse.

   "Uncle Mu, don't worry, Li Xin is not the kind of fool who doesn't know how to live or die. After this incident is over, let's not say whether he will rebel or not, but I will definitely give you and me two families and plan a future."

   After hearing Li Xin's words, Mu Qing nodded with satisfaction, got up and bowed to Li Xin.

   "So, Lord Hou discussed the war with the dog, the old man will not follow him when he is old."

   After he finished speaking, he left on crutches, leaving only Li Xin and Mu Ying, who looked at each other in this large and small main hall.

   Li Xin sat down again and glanced at Mu Ying.

   "What do you think, like Uncle Mu?"

   Mu Ying also sat down and scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

   "It's not that I want to rebel, or it's not worth it for you."

   The black face also sat down and opened his mouth to curse in the direction of the capital.

   "Guri's Ji Laoqi is so inauthentic. If it weren't for you, Li Changan, he would most likely be kept in Suzhou as a pig, and he might be dead. Now he turns his face and doesn't recognize anyone!"
