In fact, at this point, Li Xin and the emperor or the imperial family have been separated from morality, and it is difficult to trust each other again, and the reason why the Son of Heaven let Li Xin out of Beijing is naturally not because Li Xin gave him real heavenly thunder yesterday afternoon, but more than 100,000 southwest troops in the southwest, the Hanzhong defense line that has broken through, can leave Shu at any time.

These more than 100,000 people, the imperial court now wants to deal with it, at least half of the forbidden army must be sent to the west, in order to control the situation, but the two battalions of the forbidden army in Gyeonggi have already sent four Zhichong Prefecture to the north, if another half of the people are sent to the west, not to mention whether the treasury can support it, then the defense of the capital will fall into an unprecedented emptiness,

If Li Xin is released from Beijing, he can stabilize the southwest, at least the situation in the southwest will not deteriorate, and it will drag on for another two or three years, and when the imperial court is also equipped with heavenly thunder on a large scale, it will be impossible for the southwest corner to compete with a great unified dynasty.

This is Yuan Zhaotianzi's strategy to delay the army, and the situation in the north is indeed not optimistic, if Li Xin can ease or even solve the stalemate in the north by going north, it is naturally not a bad thing, even if it doesn't work, it will not be worse.

You can't expect that General Ji Yong in Jizhou City to sweep the Xianbei Department in one fell swoop, right?

Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Li Xin smiled and said, "In this way, the minister is here to thank Your Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven rubbed his somewhat sore eyes, then looked at Li Xin and sighed, and said: "The teacher is going to the northern Xinjiang, if he can retreat from the enemy, he will take his aunt and several younger brothers and sisters back to the capital, and you will also go back to the capital to live, after all, our two families are relatives, and if there is anything, you can sit down and talk slowly." ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven paused and continued: "As for the affairs of the southwest, whether they establish a country or divide the country, it has nothing to do with you, teacher, and in the future, the court and the southwest will rely on their own abilities, and the teacher will not interfere in it." ”

"I grew up with my aunt since I was a child, and now I am like this, which is not what I want."

Li Xin smiled dumbly and arched his hand at the Son of Heaven.

"It's not too late to talk about these things when the minister comes back from the north."

The emperor's "golden mouth" is sometimes unbelievable, and Zhu Laosi also said that he would share the world equally with King Ning.

Besides, even if Li Xin can hide in the capital, when the second Ye Sheng, the Mu family in the southwest, Li Shuo, Zhao Jia, and even the Ye family, who have lost their trust in the Son of Heaven, will be liquidated one by one in the future.

Li Xin's wish is to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, but behind such a lifetime of wealth is paved with the dry bones of relatives and friends who don't know how many, and Li Xin does not take it.

He looked up at the sky and arched his hand at the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, if you delay for a few more hours, it will be noon, so you won't be able to go far today." ”

The Son of Heaven said with a smile: "Then I won't delay the teacher's journey." ”

"This is going north, the road is far away, the teacher is too dangerous to travel alone, I have prepared four hundred forest guards for the teacher to escort the teacher to the north."

Four hundred people, in Yulinwei, is a whole battalion of captains.

The Son of Heaven waved his hand, and a black-clothed feather forest guard from the lieutenant battalion slowly walked out of the east city gate.

In this regard, Li Xin was not surprised, sending troops to protect and monitor along the way was the most basic means, and to his surprise, the people sent by the Son of Heaven turned out to be Yu Linwei, not his closer Qianniuwei or internal guard.

Mrs. Li thanked the Son of Heaven, and then said with a smile: "Does Your Majesty still want to appoint a deputy general to the minister?" ”

"Not really."

Yuan Zhao Tianzi clapped his hands again, and a middle-aged man wearing the color of a forbidden army uniform walked out of the crowd and hugged his fists at the Son of Heaven: "Xie Dai has seen Your Majesty, and I have seen Mrs. Li." ”

It was Xie Dai of the Xie clan in Shanyin.

Four years ago, there was a case of Shen Yan in the capital, and several auxiliary ministers colluded, intending to support the six princes to ascend the throne and abolish the current Son of Heaven.

Because of this incident, Xie Dai listened to Li Xin's advice, resigned from Yu Linwei's errand, and instead entered the forbidden army, and after more than four years, the cousin of the Son of Heaven has become a Zhichong lieutenant under the command of Hou Jingde of the Forbidden Army's left camp, and his subordinates are in charge of more than 10,000 people in a Zhichong Mansion, and have become a high-level general of the Great Jin.

The Son of Heaven smiled at Li Xin: "I have heard the teacher say more than once before that I admire this relative, I discussed it with several Zai Fu of Shangshutai yesterday, and this time I arranged Xie Dai to be next to the teacher, how about being a supervisor?" ”

Overseer...... It's very different from the lieutenant.

Although the deputy general can control the power of the chief general to a certain extent, he still has to obey the orders of the chief general no matter what, but the supervising army is different, the supervising army is at the same level as the main general, not only has the full strength to reach the heavens, but can even overthrow the general order of the main general!

Li Xin sighed helplessly.

"Since the imperial court has made this decision, the minister naturally has no objection."

The Son of Heaven nodded: "In this case, I will not disturb the teacher and go north." ”

He looked back at Xie Dai and said in a deep voice: "Xie Dai, now transfer you as a supervisor, follow Taifu to the north, these four hundred forest guards along the way are under your command and deployment, and after you get to the north and receive the four Zhichong Mansions, you will follow Taifu to be a supervisor." ”

Xie Dai is about the same age as Li Xin, only one or two years younger than Li Xin, and he is about thirty years old at this time, he glanced at Mrs. Li with a complicated face, and then bowed his head respectfully: "Minister, obey the holy decree." ”

The Son of Heaven nodded.

"Remember, along the way, the good students protect the safety of Taifu, if my teacher makes any mistakes on the road, you people don't want to live!"

Xie Dai hurriedly bowed his head.

"Yes!"

Yuan Zhao Tianzi nodded, looked back at Li Xin, and couldn't help yawning because he was too sleepy: "Is the teacher satisfied with this arrangement?" ”

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After a few more polite words, the Son of Heaven finally drove back to the palace surrounded by Xiao Zheng, Xiao Huai and others, Li Xin turned over his horse, first glanced at Xie Dai, and then looked at the familiar black-clothed Yu Lin Wei, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”

Because he was in a hurry, this time the imperial court was very generous, and each Yulinwei was equipped with horses, and more than 400 horses ran on the official road, dusty.

Xie Dai rode a horse and followed Li Xin, and the two of them walked almost side by side, because the sound of running was too loud, he said loudly: "Taifu Road, take care of me!" ”

Li Xin glanced back at this guy and ignored him.

A group of people from the east gate quickly turned into the official road to the north, along the way Li Xin asked them to hurry, even did not stop to eat lunch, most of the day came up about a hundred miles or so, the sky slowly darkened, seeing that it was about to get dark, the group was ready to rest in the post station in front of them for a night.

There were more than 400 of them, and as soon as they stayed near this post station, they saw that dozens of horses had been parked in the stables of this Gyeonggi post station, and there were some strong men sitting in the yard of the post station to rest.

One of them, a middle-aged man who was particularly tall, immediately greeted Li Xin and the others after they arrived, and said, "Uncle Shi came so fast, he left a day later than us, and he came straight to catch up!" ”

Xie Dai turned over and dismounted, bowing his head to Ye Mao.

"The last general, Xie Dai, has seen Chen Guogong."

When Ye Mao heard this name, he glanced at Xie Dai in some surprise and smiled: "Uncle Xie Guo is polite." ”

Xie Dai raised his head and saw dozens of big men behind Ye Mao, and Ye Mao also caught a glimpse of a reorganized lieutenant battalion of Yu Linwei not far from Xie Dai's side!

There was something strange in the eyes of the two people.
