Chapter Ninety-Seven: High-Fives as an Oath

At this time, whether it was the eunuch Xiao Huai or the editor-in-chief who came to take over as the general of Hanzhou, they all saw that the situation in the Hanzhou Mansion was not right, Xu Bin had no choice but to stay in the Hanzhou General's Mansion and live in the room arranged for him by Mu Ying, while Xiao Huai did not dare to stay for a long time, and took people out of Hanzhou City on the same day.

Mu Ying didn't stop him from going out of the city, but just sent some tails and followed him.

After Xiao Huai left the city, he rode a fast horse and left the Hanzhou Mansion, but he did not go to the capital, but walked directly in the direction of Jincheng.

Jincheng is the base camp of the original army, but also the center of the entire southwest, after Jincheng was defeated by Li Xin, he did not take it for himself, but gave it to the Great Jin Dynasty as the official office of the southwest province, and he himself collected all the tentacles into the Hanzhou Mansion.

At this time, in the original general's mansion in Jincheng, the general Pei Jin was sitting expressionlessly, and Xiao Huai, a eunuch dressed in purple, trotted all the way to Pei Jin, bowed his head and said: "General, the slave has gone to Hanzhou to announce the will of the imperial court, as the general expected, that Mu Ying really refused to obey the order, claiming that she was sick and could not go to Beijing." ”

Pei Jin is not a very tall person, but he is a strong man with beautiful long hair, after hearing Xiao Huai's words, General Pei stroked his beard and said lightly: "I expected that this guy would resist the order, and I never thought that he would enter Beijing, but he just lacked a reason to use troops in Hanzhou Mansion, at this time, there is a reason." ”

Pei Jin waved his hand.

The general of the general stationed in Jincheng immediately walked over, bowed his head and said, "The general commands." ”

"Pass the order, the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Jincheng must be assembled before noon tomorrow and go to Hanzhou Mansion!"

"Within ten days, all the places in the entire territory of Hanzhou Prefecture except for Hanzhou City must be occupied, but those who delay the military plane will be killed!"

In addition to Hanzhou City, there are many county towns and villages in Hanzhou City, but almost all the elites of the Hanzhou Army are in Hanzhou City, and the Hanzhou Army in other places is estimated to be only one or two thousand.

Within ten days, the problem of cleaning up the place other than Hanzhou City is not very big, and when the time comes, with a strong force, he can surround Hanzhou City, and then carry out the next move, it will be very simple.

The deadline given by the emperor to Pei Jin is before the beginning of spring next year, but in General Pei's heart, if things go well, he will even have the opportunity to return to Beijing for the New Year.

Of course, in the process of attacking the city, there will inevitably be some casualties, but Pei Jin doesn't care much, he is a mature general, although he will also care about the casualties of his subordinates, but it will not affect his decision.

After hearing Pei Jin's words, the chief soldier of Jincheng immediately nodded and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!" ”

After the general soldier left, Pei Jin sat alone on the main seat of the main hall of the General's Mansion, he looked at this rather magnificent Houfu and slowly closed his eyes.

"There used to be Li Zhijie sitting here, Li Shen."

General Pei's face was expressionless.

"But there won't be a third person."

………………

That night, Hanzhou City sent five horsemen overnight, these five people were all Yulinwei who followed Li Xin to the west and then was left in the southwest by Li Xin, and now each of them carries a letter with the same content, and the destination is also the same place.

There is only one purpose, that is, to deliver this letter safely to Li Xin.

If they are unfortunate enough to be chased, they will destroy the letters in their hands as soon as possible, leaving no trace.

Although these five people are all riding fast horses, they can't change horses from the post station, and it is unlikely that one person has three horses, which is too conspicuous, so no matter how fast they are, they can walk more than 300 miles a day at most, and even this is a way to run that consumes the horse's life.

From the southwest to the north of Xinjiang, if you go around from the capital, there will be at least five or six thousand miles, but they don't have to go from the capital, they can take the straight road to Jimen Pass, even so, there is a distance of nearly four thousand miles, that is to say, even if the road goes well, it will take ten days for the letter from Hanzhou City to reach Li Xin's hands.

Just when these five fast horses were galloping on the road, the Marquis of Jing'an in Jizhou City, after three days of negotiations with Yuwenzhao, had reached a preliminary consensus.

The two of them were in the restaurant, touched their glasses, and drank them all.

Yu Wenzhao smiled all over his face.

"According to what General Li said, after the beginning of spring next year, our department will have a conflict with the Futu Department because of the grassland, and our department will try to make this conflict bigger and fight with the Futu Department, and then General Li's Zhenbei Army can take the opportunity to set off and attack the Futu Department."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Zhao looked at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "But I said in advance, the Futu Department can be injured but not disabled, the Zhenbei Army's attack on them must be stopped immediately, once the Futu Department surrenders to our department, the Zhenbei Army must stop attacking immediately, otherwise my Yuwen Fourth Department will do its best to attack Jimen Pass!" ”

Facing Yu Wenzhao's threat, the Marquis of Jing'an smiled all over his face.

"If the four of you join forces to break either Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City, you won't have sheep on the grassland for more than forty years."

This sentence sounds hurtful, but it is a real truth, today's Yuwen tribes, there is no shortage of good horses, but weapons, armor, especially siege equipment, they may still be sharp in the grassland, but to let them attack the city, it is a thousand difficulties.

In fact, the four of them joined forces, each did their best, maybe they could open one of Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City, but after opening, these four families would be greatly injured, and if the generals guarding the border were more resolute, they might be crippled directly.

When the time comes, the soldiers and horses in another place can easily clean up the four Yuwen departments, which is also the real reason why they have been herding sheep for more than 40 years.

was ruthlessly pierced by Li Xin, Yuwen Zhao's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he said lightly: "In short, if Hou Ye Li does not do things according to the agreement, in the future, the Liang Zi of Yuwen Zhubu and Hou Ye Li will be settled!" ”

"After the destruction of the Futu Tribe, half of their territory, cattle and sheep can be ceded to the Southern Dynasty, so that Marquis Li can communicate with the emperor of your Southern Dynasty, but their young and strong, women and children, and horses will all belong to my king's account."

The Marquis of Jing'an stretched out a finger, shook it in front of Yu Wenzhao, and said lightly: "Heavenly King, this is different from what we said in advance, what we said in advance is not only half of the cattle and sheep, but also half of the horses. ”

Yu Wenzhao narrowed his eyes.

"Look at my brother's brain, I almost remembered it wrong."

He smiled and said, "If there is no objection, let's agree on the covenant?" ”

"You don't have to write a book."

Li Xin said lightly: "I can't leave evidence of collusion with other races, and the king of heaven doesn't want to leave evidence of collusion with outsiders to harm his own people, besides, this kind of thing is a piece of waste paper, whether it is for you or for me." ”

Indeed, if two people want to repent, the alliance cannot restrain them.

Yu Wenzhao stretched out his palm and grinned: "Then let's high-five as an oath." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an also stretched out his palm, and the two of them high-fived three times, and the oath was completed.

After the high-five, Li Xin smiled at Yu Wenzhao.

"This is a deal, and the king of heaven has made a lot of money."

"After the annexation of the Futu Ministry, as long as it takes a few years to digest it, the other two ministries that are already weak will naturally come to join the Heavenly King, and then the Yuwen Ministry, which has been divided for forty years, will be unified."

Yu Wenzhao said to Li Xinzuo.

"It depends on Hou Ye Li to make it happen."
