Chapter Ninety-Five: The Decree of Promotion

Between the doubts of the general, Li Xin finally sat down face to face with this Yu Wenzhao.

About ten days ago, Li Xin received a letter from Yu Wenzhao, knowing that he was willing to enter Jizhou City, yesterday Yu Wenzhao and the two of them entered the city, and Li Xin also sent someone to pick them up into the city and arranged them in this inn.

After the two of them sat down, Yu Wenzhao waved his hand, and his entourage immediately walked out and waited at the door, and Li Xin also gave Zhao Fang a look, and Zhao Fang was very sensible and guarded at the door.

The two of them, who are the ones who speak the most heavily in Northern Xinjiang, sat down in an inconspicuous small inn at this time, but the scene suddenly became solemn.

Li Xin saw that Yu Wenzhao was bowing his head to make tea, and said lightly: "Tianwang Han is very good." ”

Yuwen Zhao smiled dumbly: "Hou Ye Li seems to know very little about our Yuwen clan, although the Yuwen clan is of Xianbei ethnicity, but one hundred and fifty years ago, he entered the country and has been the son of heaven for more than 100 years. ”

Saying that, Yu Wenzhao looked at Li Xin and smiled slightly: "To say something old, more than forty years ago, Hou Ye Li's accent was put in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty to give people a sentence that the accent was too heavy. ”

Li Xin is a native of Yongzhou, originally in the south, he was an official in the court of the Great Jin Dynasty, and what he said was the official language of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty was in Jinling, so his words had a somewhat southern flavor.

These are all details, and when Li Xin mentioned this, he just wanted to knock on the side to see if this Yuwenzhao was really Yuwenzhao.

When the Marquis of Jing'an heard this, his face was calm.

"The King of Heaven seems to be in his forties this year, and the King of Heaven should not be able to remember the affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Zhao let out a long sigh.

"When my father was alive, he always told us the story of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he knew a little bit."

His father was the prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwentui, and the founder of the Yuwentui Department.

With that said, we are going to get down to business.

Yu Wenzhao picked up the tea on the table and saluted Li Xin.

"Before I came, I heard that Yuwenti that stupid thing sent someone to assassinate Li Houye, although Yuwenti did not obey me, but nominally he was also a subordinate of my king's account, and I apologized to Li Houye on his behalf."

Li Xin did not raise his glass, his face was expressionless.

"Heavenly King, such a big thing as assassination is not something that can be erased with a cup of tea."

"Ben will be ordered by the imperial court to serve as the general of Zhenbei, but when he first arrived, he had no grudge against anyone, so he was assassinated by your Yuwen Department, and it happened that this general would have to do it for a few years, and he couldn't have no merit at all, and this general was ready to lead the army to level the so-called Futu Department after the spring of the next year, and he had avenged today's assassination!"

Yu Wenzhao's expression moved slightly.

"The general wants to fight the Futu Department?"

"A Yuwen Futu Department is just enough for this general to make meritorious contributions, it will take three or five years, as long as the Futu Department is consumed to death, it will be regarded as my merit."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced up at Yu Wenzhao.

"If nothing else, this... It should also be the reason why the King of Heaven came to venture to Jizhou City to find me. ”

Yuwen Zhao shook his head and said: "Hou Ye Li thinks too much, I am here to resolve the misunderstanding between Hou Ye Li and the Yuwen tribes, and I don't have any other thoughts. ”

Li Xin sneered.

"After the matter is completed, the Yuwen Futu Department will be removed, the women and children of the Futu Department can be given to you, and the territory of the Futu Department can also be handed over to half of the Heavenly King, and the general only needs half of the territory of the Futu Department and Yuwen Ti's head to return to Beijing to make a difference, what does the Heavenly King think?"

The two of them were playing Tai Chi with each other, testing each other, but Li Xin suddenly said this sentence straight to the point, which made Yu Wenzhao suddenly lose his rhythm.

He was stunned for a long time before he said slowly: "Hou Ye Li's words... What is the meaning? ”

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

"If the King of Heaven does not agree, then the general has no choice but to take the head of the King of Heaven back to Beijing to receive the reward, the head of the King of Heaven alone may not be enough, but it is easy to take it off."

Yu Wenzhao grinned.

"Hou Ye Li won't kill me."

"As soon as I am the royal family of the Yuwen tribes, if Li Houye kills me, he will let the Yuwen tribes directly unite, and when the time comes, the Zhenbei army will not say that it will attack the Futu department, even if it is difficult to protect itself."

"Second ......"

He glanced at Li Xin with a smile.

"I'm afraid that until now, I'm not sure if I'm really Yu Wenzhao."

Li Xin was silent and did not speak.

Indeed, he has not confirmed whether the person in front of him is really Yuwen Zhao, if it can be confirmed, then things will be much easier, he now directly tied up Yu Wenzhao, and then took it to the border between the Futu Department and the Yuwen Vertical Department and slaughtered it, and threw it on the border, when the time comes, the Futu Department and the so-called Wang Tent will inevitably fight, and it will be much easier than cooperating with Yuwen Zhao.

Yuwen Zhao saw Li Xin's appearance and a smile appeared on his face.

"Master Li, don't be anxious, no matter what kind of cooperation, we can talk slowly..."

Jing'an Houfu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip lightly.

He knew in his heart that it would be a long negotiation process ahead, and he didn't know what the outcome would be in the end.

There is no way to determine whether the middle-aged man in front of him is Yuwen Zhao Li Xin or not, what can be determined is...

This person is very difficult to entangle.

At this moment, Li Xin misses Zhao Jia who is now the county magistrate in Liyang County, if Zhao Youan is here, this kind of brain-consuming negotiation work, Zhao Jia can take it over and give Li Xin a clear explanation.

At this moment, the Marquis of Jing'an could only raise the teacup in his hand with a smile on his face.

"Okay, let's talk slowly."

…………

Just when Li Xin was intriguing with Yu Wenzhao in Jizhou City, Mu Ying, who was far away in the Hanzhou Mansion in the southwest, was in the Hanzhou General's Mansion, discussing the food of the Hanzhou Army for the winter this year with his father Mu Qing.

For five years, although their Hanzhou army was established by the Great Jin Dynasty, they did not get the treatment that the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty deserved, and the entire 50,000 Hanzhou troops, from bottom to top, except for Mu Ying, the five-grade Hanzhou general Yulu, did not owe money, the rest did not see a single military salary.

In the past five years, they have relied on the property handed over by the Li family of Zhaojun to make a living, second, they have the help of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and then the Hanzhou Mansion does not do anything, the imperial court does not pay military salaries, and they simply do not pay taxes, and they are self-sufficient for five years, and their lives are barely passable.

It's just that every winter, the days are tighter, so you have to be careful.

Mu Ying, who was very arrogant back then, has been a family member for five years, and now she has become a careful master, and she personally asks about every pound of food.

When the father and son were talking in the study of General Pingnan's mansion, a subordinate suddenly ran over in a hurry, bowed his head to Mu Ying and said, "General Mu, the imperial decree has arrived, and I want you to go out to receive the decree......

Mu Ying, who was dark-skinned, turned around and glanced at her father, frowning slightly.

"How did the decree of the imperial court come to me......

He was very puzzled in his heart, because he had already learned from Li Xin that Li Xing was dead.

But doubts are doubts, but he is not panicked in his heart.

After all, with 50,000 soldiers and horses in hand, there are few people worth his fear.

Thinking of this, he glanced back at his father and said in a deep voice: "Daddy, you wait for me here, and my son will go out and have a look." ”

Mu Qing was already a little old at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "My son is careful himself. ”

Mu Ying nodded, and came to the main hall of the Hanzhou General's Mansion, a purple-clothed eunuch had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, Mu Ying looked left and right, and after hesitating slightly, he still knelt down on one knee.

"General Mu Ying of Hanzhou, welcome the holy decree."

This purple-clothed eunuch was a eunuch in his twenties, and after he glanced at it, he unfolded the holy decree in his hand.

The opening of the holy decree is very long, and all kinds of pun texts are surrounded by clouds and mountains, but the meaning of the last sentence is very clear.

"Transfer Mu Ying, the general of Hanzhou, to be the commander of the forbidden army, enter Beijing on the same day, and go to the military department to report on his work and go to his post without delay."

After Mu Ying heard this, although she knelt on the ground, there was already a chill in her eyes.
