In the winter of the seventeenth year of Chengde, the ragged Li Xin carried a basket of charcoal with poor carving on his back, and walked into the proud building, when it was Cui Jiuniang who gave him a bite to eat, and later because of the proud building, Li Xin and the former His Royal Highness the King of Wei met, the two young people stumbled and supported each other, and finally one became the son of Taikang, the Jing Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the other became the first upstart of the Taikang Dynasty and the youngest general of the entire Great Jin Dynasty.

This is the incense love.

In the third year of Taikang, Li Xin returned to Beijing from the southwest, the Son of Heaven and Queen Xie thought of a way to let the prince recognize Li Xin as a teacher, at that time, the Son of Taikang was only seven or eight years old, since that time, he often went in and out of the Jing'an Hou Mansion, and even lived with the ninth princess for two months every year, he was raised by Li Xin's family.

This is also the love of incense.

On this night, the love between the two families finally reached the point where there was not much left, as Li Xin and the Son of Heaven said, and then it was time for each to rely on his ability.

In the moonlight, the Marquis of Jing'an returned home alone.

Early the next morning, the Son of Heaven convened the prime ministers of Shangshutai to discuss, and at noon, Shangshutai drew up a holy decree that ordered Chen Guogong Ye Mao to leave Beijing to serve as the general of Zhenbei, and after the holy decree arrived at Chen Guogong's mansion, Ye Guogong's face was full of disbelief.

For this holy decree, he and Ye Lan have entered the palace three times to ask the Son of Heaven to fight with the Son of Heaven, but they were all decisively rejected by the Son of Heaven, but now, the Son of Heaven agreed to him to go north from Beijing without warning, and also gave him an official rank of general.

You must know that because of his qualifications, Ye Mao has always been the temporary general in Jizhou, although there is actually no difference, but this represents that Ye Mao has officially entered the level of the top military general of the Great Jin Dynasty and has become a general who can coach the side.

The war in Jizhou is tight, after Ye Mao received the holy decree, he did not delay at all, and immediately asked his family to start preparing their luggage, the generals are not just leaving, one is to prepare horses, armor, bows, crossbows, etc., and the other is to select the family generals as personal guards, of course, Ye Mao has his own guards in Jizhou, so there is no need to bring too many people from the capital, the main thing is to feed the horses, prepare the entourage, and arrange the family affairs in the capital.

Even if Ye Mao was in a hurry, it would take at least one day to complete these things, and the next morning, before dawn, the third-generation Chen Guogong took fifty or sixty generals and rode out of Yongle Fang.

When the Ye family's horse team arrived at the gate of Yongle Fang, Ye Mao saw a familiar figure, he hurriedly dismounted, walked in front of the man in Tsing Yi, bowed his head slightly and hugged his fists.

"Uncle Li."

Li Xin stretched out his head to look behind Ye Mao, and found that there were only more than fifty people, he shook his head slightly: "You bring fewer people." ”

Ye Mao frowned: "Uncle Shi, it's just that you don't need too many people to go north." ”

Li Xin sighed noncommittally, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Mao's shoulder: "Now, Jizhou should be in the midst of ups and downs, you go north alone like this, and it won't be of much use to Jizhou, I still say the same thing, the Zhenbei Army can fight hard, but you can't die." ”

This time Ye Mao replied very simply, he bowed his head and said, "Uncle Shi's teachings, my nephew has written them down." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Xin and asked, "I can go out of Beijing, but the fourth uncle can't use his strength, I think it's what you said in front of Your Majesty, Uncle Shi." ”

Li Xin didn't answer positively, but just said indifferently.

"If nothing else, I'll be out of Beijing tomorrow."

Ye Guogong's body was shocked, and he said, "Your Majesty...... How can you let my uncle out of Beijing? ”

"Naturally, I offered a price that he couldn't get back."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked left and right, and said: "There are people staring everywhere in Yongle Fang, it's not easy to talk, I will leave the capital early tomorrow morning, you walk a little slower today, and I will catch up with you tomorrow." ”

Ye Mao glanced at Li Xin deeply.

"Uncle Shi means ......"

Li Xin nodded helplessly: "With today's temperament, he may regret it." ”

Ye Mao frowned: "Then the more than fifty people in my family will not help." ”

"Don't worry, two hundred miles away from Beijing, the people of the imperial court should not chase after it."

The Marquis of Jing'an looked up at Ye Mao, and said in a deep voice: "According to the sporadic news I have gotten, the situation in Jizhou is very unoptimistic, and you may not be able to hold it if you go. ”

"Tomorrow, when I leave the city and leave Beijing, I will carry the holy decree of commanding these four Zhichong Mansions, of course, the imperial court will not let me be in charge of the army alone now, and most of them will send a forbidden army general as a deputy general to follow me."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao.

"The premise is that I can leave the capital 200 miles away."

Li Xin entered Beijing alone, but with his current status, it is naturally impossible for him to do things alone, in fact, long before he entered Beijing, many followers had been arranged, for example, Shen Gang had already taken people and waited on the official road to the north.

As long as he can leave the capital 200 miles away, even if the three guards in the capital catch up, Li Xin can get out calmly and will not be caught back into the capital.

This requires the cooperation of the Ye family.

Without Ye Lan present at this time, Ye Mao agreed very happily, and he said in a deep voice: "Without Uncle Shi, I am still trapped in the capital and unable to move, Uncle Shi rest assured, I will wait for Uncle Shi on the road." ”

Li Xin nodded, shook his head and sighed.

"It's a pity that after this battle, the Zhenbei Army in Jimen Pass is afraid that the new will replace the old one."

No matter what the final outcome of this battle is, the outcome of the Zhenbei Army is already doomed, you must know that even now, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are only half of the left, after this battle, if the establishment of the Zhenbei Army is still there, I am afraid that new recruits will have to be recruited again.

Ye Mao nodded silently and arched his hand at Li Xin: "Uncle take care." ”

Li Xin nodded, put his hands behind his back, and walked into Yongle Fang.

Ye Mao and the others turned over and got on their horses and galloped from the gate of Yongle Fang all the way to the east gate.

Because the north gate of the capital is in the imperial city, if you want to go north, you have to start from the east city gate or the west city gate, the east city gate is closer to Yongle Fang, and it has always been from the east city gate to the north.

When the group arrived at the gate of the East City Gate, the sun had completely risen, the sky was bright, Ye Luan, who was wearing a purple robe, had been waiting at the East City Gate for a long time, and after Ye Mao saw him, he immediately turned over and dismounted, bowing his head respectfully.

"I've seen the fourth uncle."

Ye Lan pulled the sleeve of his eldest nephew, and said with some emotion: "A few days ago, I was still worried that the Ye family couldn't go out of Beijing, and now that you have been ordered to go out of Beijing, I am still a little worried in my heart." ”

He looked to the north and sighed.

"The gate of thistle is closed, I'm afraid it won't last long."

Marquis Ningling frowned, and said slowly: "I sent you a few months earlier, maybe I can hold for a while longer, but at this time, the siege battle has almost been completed, and it will not be of much use if you go over again." ”

"I'm an uncle, I only say one word."

Ye Lan patted Ye Mao's shoulder heavily, and his voice was low.

"No matter what happens to the thistle gate, you have to be careful with your life."

"You are the main branch of the Ye family, if you die, leave your two underage sons, and the Chen Guogong Mansion left by your father will be gone."
