After Li Xin received the letter, he only thought about it for one night, and then left Jizhou City with more than a dozen of his subordinates, and with him, there were more than 100 people hiding in the shadows.

The group was basically on horseback, and the speed was much faster than when they came, leaving early in the morning, and by noon, they had already run out of more than 100 miles, and the group found a place to eat, Li Xin asked Shen Gang to get him pen, ink and paper, and wrote a letter on the dinner table and handed it to an inconspicuous man.

"Send it to Hanju City."

The Marquis of Jing'an looked solemn: "You ride three horses and send them to Hanzhou City as quickly as possible, if nothing else, most of the people in Hanzhou City will not be able to enter, but there are also our people in Hanzhou Mansion, you have to find a way to contact them and let them take you in." ”

At this time, Hanzhou City is estimated to have been surrounded by people from the imperial court, but these people raised by Li Xin in the shadows are not only active in the capital, whether it is their hometown Yongzhou or the southwest, they have their figures, these people have their own special set of contact information, as long as they can be contacted, Mu Ying should have a way to take people in.

The man bowed his head deeply: "Let's go here." ”

After saying that, he took four or five flatbreads from this inn and put them in the bag around his waist, drank a large bowl of water, turned around and got on the horse, and left directly.

And Li Xin and his entourage had a full meal and got back on the horse.

After sitting on the ink horse, Li Xin said in a deep voice to Shen Gang beside him: "You go to my hometown and let the people there also set off to Hanzhou City." ”

Shen Gang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I understand. ”

After speaking, he also took a dozen or so people, left the team, and rushed towards Li Xin's hometown Yongzhou.

And Li Xin and others are also moving quickly in the southwest direction.

At this time, Li Xin, while hurrying, looked at the direction of Hanzhou Mansion and sighed in his heart.

"Hold on, Mu Heizi."

…………

When Li Xin and others rushed to the southwest road, the Hanzhou Mansion at this time was basically controlled by the imperial court except for Hanzhou City, as Li Xin expected, only one Hanzhou City was still in Mu Ying's hands, and now the Hanzhou army can only defend the city.

Then, the city of Hanju was besieged.

Pei Jin, the general who led this operation, was under the city of Hanzhou, he sat on a tall horse, held a clairvoyant mirror issued by the imperial court, and looked at the situation on the wall of Hanzhou City.

In the monocular lens of the clairvoyant, Pei Jin saw that on the wall of Hanzhou City, there was also a dark-skinned general holding a clairvoyant who was looking in his direction.

He slowly lowered the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, a playful smile on his face.

"Interesting, the imperial court stipulates that only generals who are above the third grade are eligible to be issued clairvoyant mirrors, and this Hanzhou general is only the fifth grade, and he actually has it."

He looked back at the general Hanzhong and the general soldier of Jincheng beside him, and said in a deep voice: "I am going to speak on behalf of the imperial court, and I will transfer more than a dozen heralds with louder voices to convey the holy will to these thieves. ”

The two of them immediately received the order, and after a while, twenty tall heralds had already arrived, Pei Jin said in a deep voice: "Tell these thieves, because they disobeyed the imperial decree, they attracted the imperial court to conquer, if their general Mu Ying is willing to bow his head and confess his guilt, and return to Beijing with Ben to be punished, today's matter will end here, otherwise on the day the city of Hanzhou is broken, it is inevitable that the people in the city will suffer from military disasters!" ”

Twenty heralds immediately received the order, walked to a place far away from the city wall, shouted loudly to the city wall, and repeated Pei Jin's words.

Mu Ying on the city wall, hearing this, showed a disdainful smile, Pei Jin's intention was obvious, he wanted to use these words to separate the relationship between him Mu Ying and the people of Hanzhou City, but Hanzhou City did not use the people to fight, but used the Hanzhou army, these people were born in the remnants of Nanshu, and they had no good impression of the Great Jin Dynasty, and in the past few years, under the leadership of Mu Ying, they have had a good life, and it is impossible to defect to Mu Ying at this time.

In order to fight back, Mu Ying also found more than a dozen loud voices and shouted at the people downstairs in the city.

"After Mu Ying received the holy decree of the imperial court, he had already given up the Hanzhou General's Mansion to General Xu Bin to live, and the military power of the Hanzhou Army was also handed over one after another, but he was infected with illness and could not enter Beijing, who knew that within a few days, the imperial court would gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to invade the Hanzhou Mansion on a large scale, and the intention was clearly revealed!"

"When the southwest army was in turmoil, there was no help from the people of Hanzhou, and the imperial court was able to take Jincheng at this time, if the people of Hanzhou helped the army, most of the southwest was not the southwest of the imperial court at this time!"

"The imperial court crossed the river and demolished the bridge, so unkind!"

"The Great Jin Taikang Heavenly Son, he is really the first saint in the world!"

These words made Pei Jin's face very ugly, and he even regretted letting people shout now.

After all, in the final analysis, this matter is indeed the fault of the imperial court.

Since the loss is reasonable, then there is no need to be reasonable, General Pei's face was cold, and he said in a low voice: "Since these anti-thieves are obsessed, then don't blame Wang Shi for quelling the rebellion, pass the order, the whole army will rest for three days, and after three days, the siege will begin!" ”

At this time, they had just cleared the Hanzhou Mansion except for Hanzhou City, and most of them were quite tired, and it was unwise to attack the city at this time, and General Pei Da let the whole army rest and recuperate, which was a very reasonable move.

Pei Jin's general order was soon issued, and the various armies of the imperial court began to camp five or six miles outside the city of Hanzhou.

Mu Ying, who was standing on the upper floor of Hanzhou City, looked at the dense imperial army outside the city, made a simple estimate, and his heart sank slightly.

Judging from the number alone, the army of these imperial courts is probably more than 100,000.

You know, the army that year was only 150,000 or 60,000!

This is a very large scale, and it will definitely suffer if you fight hard.

If you just defend the city simply, there is no problem in defending it for half a year, but now it is winter, and the food in Hanzhou City is not enough, if Hanzhou City is surrounded by the enemy all the time, at most next spring, Hanzhou City itself will not be able to hold on.

General Mu let out a long sigh, feeling a little bored in his heart.

Mu Qing, the former head of the Mu family, whose hair was almost white, glanced at his son and asked slowly, "Afraid of being surrounded to the point of running out of food?" ”

Mu Ying nodded.

"At present, the food in the city, even if you save it, it will be eaten for two or three months at most, and if there is no way to solve this dilemma after two or three months, we will lose."

Mu Qing took a deep breath.

"We still have some grain in our cellar that we can take out."

When Nanshu destroyed the country, it was the Mu family who fled from Jincheng to Hanzhou with the royal family of Nanshu, and since then they have gained a foothold in Hanzhou.

Now, the second catastrophe of the Mu family is finally coming.

Mu Ying frowned slightly: "That is the food that the Mu family has saved for several generations, and the family is afraid that they will not let me take it out and distribute it." ”

"No matter how much food there is, if the city is broken, it will be someone else's."

Mu Qing's voice was hoarse: "Don't worry, our father and son have done the master." ”

He patted his son on the shoulder, softly relieved.

"Besides, two or three months, how can it be enough for Marquis Li to manage here."

"Since you believe in him, let's just wait for him."
