Chapter 53 The body can't reach it, but the heart yearns for it

Horses are very precious things in Dajin, Yulinlang in Yulinwei, although there are poor people, but most of them are good families in Gyeonggi, and their family background is not particularly bad, even in Yulinwei, only 12 out of 10 can ride horses.

The horses for people to ride are good to say, the trained war horses that can charge on the battlefield are even more treasures among the treasures, the Zhenbei Army has been in the north for decades, and the cavalry under its command is only 5,000, and most of them are folded in this war.

The breeders in Yunzhou City, because of their proximity to the horse farm, are a little richer, but they also raise about fifteen thousand cavalry, of course, there are more than so many horses, about seventeen or eight thousand war horses.

These war horses are the treasures of Yunzhou City, when Xuantong was in Yunzhou, as a general, he ran to the horse farm in Yunzhou City twice in three days, often calling himself a horseman, and for the more than 10,000 cavalry under his hands, it was even more precious that he couldn't do it.

Now, as soon as Li Xin opened his mouth, he wanted to unify all these more than 10,000 war horses

"Borrowing" is naturally more presumptuous.

Chong Wu coughed, lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Taifu is a product of the dynasty, it stands to reason that no matter what Taifu commands, the last general should obey it, but the more than 10,000 war horses in Yunzhou City are the life's work of my father, and now that my father has returned to Beijing to recuperate, I can't just turn my head and send these war horses out as soon as I turn my head?" ”

He bowed his head and said, "Why don't you ...... Write a letter to your father? ”

Li Xin opened his mouth and said: "I didn't say that I would take your family's things for nothing, I said that I would borrow it, and when my business is done, I will borrow one horse and return two horses to you, I have a lot of connections with the seed family, and I will never harm the seed family." ”

Chong Wu frowned deeply.

In fact, his father planted Xuantong, basically completely withdrew from the front line, and went back to the capital to retire, and he had the final say on the affairs of Yunzhou City, and he pushed it on his father's head, which was a tactful refusal.

Even a nine-rank petty official in the court could hear the meaning of his words, but the prince in front of him didn't seem to understand it at all......

Chong Wu sighed, bowed his head and said, "Taifu wants to borrow more than 10,000 cavalry from my Yunzhou City?" ”

"No one."

The Marquis of Jing'an said slowly: "I can pay two for the death of the war horse, but if there are any casualties in the family army, I can't afford to pay for human lives." ”

Chong Wu frowned and looked at Li Xin, and said, "The last general wants to hear what Taifu's plans are. ”

"There is no plan, it is nothing more than to attack the enemy's place to save, in the past few months, the Xianbei Department has attacked Jimen Pass like crazy, and it can even be said that the elite is exhausted, especially the people in Yuwen Zhao's headquarters, they have been transferred a lot, and now the Xianbei Department is weak inside, or they can go straight to Huanglong."

"Taken together, the population of the four Xianbei departments has exceeded one million."

Chong Wu frowned and said: "The last general has calculated that there are about 200,000 Xianbei people in Jizhou, which means that there are at least more than 800,000 Xianbei people outside the Guan, even if there are not many young people left in these 800,000 people, they can calmly support Yuwen Zhao to help." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Xin and slowly spoke: "Taifu may not have seen the power of the Xianbei people, the thirteen or fourteen-year-old children of the Xianbei Department can shoot with a bow and hunt, and they rarely miss within fifty steps, at this time, don't say that Taifu took more than 10,000 people out of the pass, that is, the soldiers of my Yunzhou City all followed Taifu out of the pass, and they were also surrounded by both sides and the whole army was wiped out." ”

"That's why I'm not going to lead the family army."

Li Xin smiled: "I only need to plant the horses of the family army, if I don't come back afterwards, the general will reach out to the court and ask for it again, if I come back, wouldn't it be good to compensate the general twice as much as the war horse?" ”

Chong Wu looked at the Taifu, who was more than ten years younger than himself, and bowed his head and said, "Taifu, and let the officials think about it......"

"Don't think about it, I've got it all figured out for you."

"This time I brought a total of 25,000 people over, and now I am outside Yunzhou City, I am not going to take all these people away, only bring 15,000 people, and then bring 15,000 war horses from Yunzhou to make more than 10,000 cavalry, and the remaining 10,000 people are left for the general to defend the city, and Yunzhou City can not use cavalry to defend the city."

As he spoke, Li Xin said: "These are the forbidden troops of the Gyeonggi Left Battalion, and the elite level is no worse than that of Yunzhou City. ”

Chong Wu was silent for a long time, and then let out a long sigh. Odd books

"Taifu, Ma can give it to you, but I want to write a letter to the imperial court, and I need Taifu's signature and seal."

Li Xin smiled heartily and took out a blank letter from his sleeve, the word Li Xin had been written on the lower right corner of the letter, and the vermilion Li Xin private seal was added.

"I know that your family is cautious and likes to let others write notes, I have prepared this thing before it comes, and the blank space is how the general likes to fill in."

Chong Wu took the letter in a daze, looked at Li Xin, and said in amazement: "Taifu is not afraid that the end will harm you?" ”

With Li Xin's genuine private seal and signature, and such a blank piece of stationery, it couldn't be easier to create evidence of Li Xin's crimes, and even to get evidence of Li Xin's rebellion, after all, the printed letter on this letter paper is genuine......

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled dumbly: "It seems that General Chong has been in Yunzhou for a long time, and he doesn't know what happened in the capital, and now no matter how many people harm me, it won't hurt." ”

He stood up and said to Chongwu, "Since General Chong agreed, I will go and lead the horse." ”

He looked back at Ye Mao and said in a deep voice: "Ye Mao, go outside the city and select fifteen thousand people to enter the city, first familiarize yourself with the horses, and early tomorrow morning, we will go north from Yunzhou." ”

Ye Mao immediately nodded, bowed down and said, "The last general will go here!" ”

The big man didn't hesitate, he immediately stood up, pushed the door and walked out, Chong Wu got up and just wanted to stop Ye Mao, but before I could speak, Ye Mao had already walked away.

Chong Wu sat down helplessly and smiled bitterly: "Grandpa Ye is really anxious." ”

"There's no way."

Li Xin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "In this battle, the Zhenbei Army is almost dead, and the Ye family's decades of hard work have been ruined. ”

Chongwu shook his head and sighed.

"It seems that if the last general hadn't nodded just now, Grandpa Ye would never have been reconciled with me."

"There are more than 100,000 people in the army of the seed family, in the hands of the general, where does the general need to be afraid of Ye Mao, a lonely person?"

Li Xin put down the teacup and turned his head to look at Chong Wu, his face sincere.

"Thank you, General."

The army of the family is all in Yunzhou City, and all the things in Yunzhou City can be decided by the martial arts, if he doesn't want to agree, this matter can't be discussed.

"Where."

Chong Wu also took a sip of tea and sighed: "The Zhenbei Army has been fighting very hard in the past six months, and the last general has also seen it in his eyes, and he wanted to send troops to rescue him several times, but he couldn't leave anyone on the Yunzhou side, so he could only watch the Great Jin barrier left by Ye Gong being worn away little by little." ”

"The last general is deeply ashamed."

He stood up and looked at Li Xin deeply.

"The duty of planting martial arts is in the body, otherwise I am willing to follow Taifu out of the customs like Ye Guogong, no matter whether it is life or death, I must also find the bad luck of Xianbei people!"

He looked at Li Xin, and his voice was sincere.

"The body can't reach it, but the heart yearns for it."
