Although this abolished prince was really sent by Li Shuo, Li Xin didn't think that Li Shen would surrender like this, with the character of the general of the Zhu Kingdom, it would be too difficult for him to bow his head and surrender.

This is a time when news is extremely closed.

Even if the abolished prince is escorted back to the capital, even if there is no such banner in Jincheng, Li Shen can still claim that the abolished prince is in Jincheng, and he can even let an obese person pretend to be Ji Yu.

In this era, there is no instant messaging, there is no information explosion in later generations, and not many people know what the waste prince is like.

Bringing Ji Yu back is only the first step.

What will happen next in Jincheng, Li Xin does not dare to guarantee.

But he is not in a hurry, for him, as long as he stays in Mianzhu, Jincheng surrendered, he went to receive this credit, Jincheng did not surrender, he stayed honestly in Mianzhu, and after Ye Ming came over to join the army, he honestly checked in to receive the credit.

After the waste prince entered Mianzhu, Li Xin arranged him into a mansion in Mianzhu, where he was served with delicious food and drink, and then he was at his residence with peace of mind, waiting for news from Jincheng.

It's the end of January.

Previously, Ye Ming wanted to attack the Sword Pavilion on the tenth day of the first month of February, but after being dissuaded by Li Xin, it was changed to February 20, which means that if there is no action on the Jincheng side within twenty days, Li Xin will start to attack the Sword Pavilion with Ye Ming.

At that time, all the processes were done in accordance with the rules of the imperial court, and Li Xin had no ability or excuse to stop Ye Ming from doing things.

Soon, the time came to the seventh day of the second month of the third year of Taikang.

It has been ten days since the abolished prince entered Mianzhu.

Li Xin finally received a letter from Jincheng, but the letter was not sent by Li Shuo, but by the general of the Zhu State himself.

The content of the letter was very simple, he also built a reed tent under Jincheng City, and invited Li Xin to come over for a while on the ninth day of the second month.

After Li Xin read the letter, he casually threw it to Zhao Jia on the side, and said with a smile: "Brother You'an, take a look?" ”

Zhao Jia had the ability to look at ten lines, and he only glanced at the letter after a few glances, he frowned, and said: "Hou Ye, there may be a possibility that the Pingnan Army will jump over the wall in a hurry, and this date, it is better for his subordinates to go for Hou Ye." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an's eyelids twitched, and he was a little uncomfortable.

"Meet and meet, don't talk about dating."

To be honest, this kind of behavior of inviting a meeting by letter is normal to use the word dating, but Li Xin has experienced another era after all, so he is a little disgusted by this word.

Zhao Jia didn't understand what was wrong with the two of them, but the boss didn't like to listen to it, so he naturally wouldn't say it again, but just changed his words: "The subordinates go for the Hou Ye?" ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"I asked him to come over, he came, it didn't make sense that I wouldn't dare to go if he asked me to go, so if it spreads, where will Ben Hou's face be placed?"

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled.

"Besides, we don't have anything to fear him now."

Early in the morning of the ninth day of the second lunar month, Li Xin and others were at the gate of Mianzhu preparing to set off.

Since he was going to the meeting, he had to bring some people over to support the field, for the sake of insurance, Li Xin took his brother Ye Mao with him, and brought all the two hundred Yulin guards who came over, and then selected more than two hundred people from the forbidden army, and after gathering five hundred people, he set off from Mianzhu in a mighty way.

Because the horses of the forbidden army were all left in Di Dao, although they occupied Mianzhu, Li Xin still couldn't get together 500 horses, and only half of their 500 people were on horseback.

There is no way, when you go to someone else's territory, riding a horse is the least respect for the enemy's sword and axeman, so that when the enemy turns his face, he can run away as soon as possible.

When Li Shen came to the appointment before, it was a full 500 horses, all of them on horseback.

This Lupeng is said to be under Jincheng City, but it is still dozens of miles away from Jincheng, if the distance is too close, the Pingnan Army is not short of cavalry, and Li Xin can't run away if he wants to.

When I arrived at the agreed place, I saw a reed tent in the distance.

At this time, it was already February, almost spring, the sun was spreading, and the weather was a lot warmer, Li Xin rode on a horse, under the protection of Ye Mao, and walked towards this reed canopy.

In the reeds, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, dressed in green clothes and without armor, sat cross-legged behind the table, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Li Xin walked in slightly short and arched his hand at him.

"I haven't seen you for half a month, and the general has lost a lot of weight."

Li Shen opened his eyes and glanced at Li Xin, who came from the armor, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Marquis Jing'an didn't care, shrugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "No way, I'm afraid of death." ”

Li Shen pointed to the opposite side, and his words were concise: "Sit." ”

Li Xin untied the sword pheasant hanging from his waist, threw it to Ye Mao, who was guarding outside the door, and then sat down a little awkwardly.

He was wearing the fine armor of a general of the Forbidden Army, and his movement was really inconvenient.

But he still didn't choose to take it off.

At this time, the white clothes fluttering certainly looked graceful, but life is the most important thing, he went all the way to today, there is no reason to die here because of pretending to be forced.

After sitting down, General Zhu Guo personally poured Li Xin a cup of tea.

Li Xin did not drink.

If Li Xin was the general of the Pingnan Army, he would do everything he could to kill himself at this time, so Li Xin had reason to believe that the middle-aged man in front of him would not be able to kill himself.

Li Shen's face was expressionless, and after Li Xin sat down, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looked at Li Xin deeply, and then said, "Li Xin, you... Won. ”

"Our Pingnan Army agreed to surrender."

"After three days, you can come to receive Jincheng, and I will open the four gates of Jincheng to welcome the royal court."

Li Shen's face was expressionless, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him.

"I can also go to the capital to confess my guilt, or I can subjugate the law on the spot, and choose Jing'anhou at will."

"As long as Jing'an Hou doesn't forget the agreement with Li Shuo."

Li Xin stood up, looked behind Li Shen, and then said with a smile: "What about Ling Gongzi, why didn't you come?" ”

"I beat me up, and I can't get out of bed yet."

Li Xin stroked his palms and smiled: "The general is such a strict tutor, I remember that the little marquis couldn't get out of bed for several months. ”

Li Shen's face was expressionless.

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and continued to ask: "The family business of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion for more than 30 years, just say that it is gone, and the general is willing to do it?" ”

"What if you can't bear it?"

Li Shen's face was indifferent: "If you are reluctant, you won't come to pick it up?" ”

"Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been taken back by you, there is no point in fighting any further, and my Pingnan Army is willing to surrender and reduce casualties."

Speaking of this, Li Shen glanced at Li Xin.

"Isn't this what Jing Anhou wants to see?"

Li Xin smiled: "That's what I said, but I don't believe that the general will surrender so easily." ”

"According to my estimates, there are at least 60,000 Pingnan troops in Jincheng, if I follow the general's wishes, enter the city to receive Jincheng in three days, and your army rushes up, won't I throw myself into the net?"

Li Shen's breathing was a little heavier, and he snorted, "What does Jing'anhou mean?" ”

"It's not hard to get me into town."

Li Xin said with a smile: "The general handed over 100,000 pairs of armor, 20,000 crossbows, and 50,000 knives and guns to Mianzhu, and Benhou immediately sent someone to take over Jincheng. ”
