Now, Pei Jin has returned to Beijing, and the garrisons in the southwest are scattered to various places again, as for the garrison in Hanzhong and the garrison in Jincheng, they have suffered heavy losses and are not to be worried, so after Shen Gang and others entered the southwest, they almost encountered any danger, and sent the letter to Hanzhou.

Mu Ying quickly received them, and after opening Li Xin's letter and reading it, the black-faced general had a bright smile on his face, and he said to Shen Gang: "Please Brother Shen go back to the capital and inform the Hou Ye, just say that Mu Ying has received his letter and will definitely do what he instructs." ”

Shen Gang nodded respectfully: "Thank you, General Mu." ”

He was about to retire, when he heard Mu Ying continue to ask, "Brother Shen, is Marquis Li safe in the capital?" ”

Shen Gang lowered his head and said: "General Mu, don't worry, there are many of our brothers in the capital, and Master Hou was prepared a few years ago, at least it is not a problem to get out." ”

"That's good."

Mu Ying squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Shen told Master Hou that the capital is dangerous, and if he can get out, it is much safer for him to come to the southwest." ”

Shen Gang nodded silently.

"General Mu's words have been written down."

Shen Gang was also born in Yulinwei in the past, and Mu Ying had been a general in Yulinwei for several years, so he also claimed to be humble in front of Mu Ying.

After saying this, Shen Gang bowed his head and left.

And Mu Ying took Li Xin's letter, walked to the backyard excitedly, and found his father Mu Qing, he raised the letter in his hand, and laughed at his father: "Father, Hou Ye Li has sent a letter from the capital." ”

At this time, Mu Qing was basically no longer in charge, he drank tea and planted flowers at home on weekdays, and when he heard this, he glanced at his son and said lightly: "What is so happy about it, the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty has promoted you?" ”

"Of course not."

Mu Ying sat opposite her father and said with a smile: "My son doesn't look down on the official position given by the emperor of the Ji family. ”

Mu Qing also poured a cup of tea for her son and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Mu Ying smiled.

"After Li Changan entered the capital, he failed to settle down this matter, and now he has been arrested and put in prison by Emperor Taikang!"

When Li Xin left Hanzhou, he did go to the capital to settle the matter, and he was quite confident at that time, after all, the stakes were there, and the emperor would most likely compromise temporarily and accept the recruitment of the Hanzhou army.

As for the future, we can also think about it in the long run.

However, Li Xin overestimated the Son of Taikang, and after arriving in the capital, he was directly locked up by the Son of Heaven, so he had to start the backup plan.

At this moment, Mu Qing's face became solemn, he reached out to take the letter in Mu Ying's hand, and after a brief glance, his brows furrowed.

He ...... Want you to return to China? ”

Mu Ying smiled and said: "Yes, it is the restoration of the country, before he left, he talked about it with the child in detail, now the Great Jin army in the southwest is a rabble, the garrison of Jincheng in the southwest center, and the garrison of Hanzhong in the southwest gateway, after the last rout, it is not the same, as long as the child controls Jincheng and the Sword Pavilion, he can easily reproduce the old state of the Pingnan army in the past and divide the southwest." ”

Speaking of this, Mu Ying said with a smile: "And we are originally Shu people, compared to Li Zhijie and Li Shen, these Zhao County people, to be more justifiable, they have to pull a Ji family's clan as a banner when they rebel, we have to make it much more convenient, just raise the banner of Chenghan." ”

"In the past forty years, because of the relationship between the Pingnan Army, the influence of the Great Jin Dynasty on the southwest has not been heavy, and after Pei Jin's last defeat, the local armies in the southwest are even more distrustful of the Great Jin Dynasty."

Mu Ying's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Dad, I'm sure that within this year, I will be able to win Jincheng and Sword Pavilion!"

Mu Qing frowned slightly.

In the letter written by Li Xin, it was only said that Mu Ying should be allowed to restore the country, but the specific way to do it was not clearly written, and after thinking for a while, the old master asked: "What about after the restoration of the country, how to keep it?" ”

"At that time, there were more than 100,000 troops in Pingnan Houfu, but they could not stop the forbidden army of the imperial court, and it was wiped out in just over two years, and there were even fewer of us, once the imperial court sent the forbidden army of Gyeonggi ......"

Mu Ying blinked her eyes and smiled, "Daddy, have you forgotten the thunder of the day ago?" ”

"Master Hou, he has already told me that once this plan is launched, he will provide us with Tianlei."

"As long as you take the Sword Pavilion, there is the Sword Gate Pass as a barrier, and then there is a thunder in your hand......"

General Mu was quite inflated, squinted his eyes and said, "Unless the emperor of the Ji family is willing to transfer all the 300,000 forbidden troops near the capital to the southwest, his son is sure that he can hold it." ”

Hearing her son say this, Mu Qing stroked her gray beard, frowned and thought for a long time, and asked a very critical question.

"That'...... Who will be the ruler of the country after the restoration? ”

The Cheng Han of that year, that is, the royal family of Nanshu, basically no longer exists, and the only one Li Xing was killed when he entered the capital a few days ago, although Li Xing has descendants, but it is obvious that the Mu family can no longer serve Li Xing's line as the royal family.

Mu Ying also frowned.

"I didn't think about it."

After he was silent for a while, he looked at his father and said in a deep voice: "Hurry up with power, or let your grandson change his surname to Li first, and then honor him as the descendant of Queen Min?" ”

Mu Ying got married a few years ago, and in five years, he had two sons and a daughter, and the eldest son was already four years old.

"How can my Mu family change their surname?"

Mu Qing frowned and said, "Moreover, if Hou Ye Li knows, most of them will also be worried." ”

Mu Ying nodded and said, "Then let your grandson replace him for the time being, anyway, Chang'an's son is also surnamed Li, and then let Chang'an's son be the emperor of the Han Dynasty." ”

In a few simple words, the father and son said a few words, the former Nanshu royal family is completely non-existent.

Mu Qing was silent for a while, and then sighed: "That's it, just let you young people toss." ”

He stood up from his chair and sighed.

"The Ji family's national fortunes are in full swing, and Li Chang'an's letter asked you to divide the southwest, whether it is a blessing or a curse, or an unknown number."

Mu Ying got up, hugged her father, and said with a smile: "Of course he didn't want to rebel in Chang'an. ”

"He couldn't hold it in the capital, so he wanted to use the southwest to restrain the emperor of the Ji family, the southwest is gone, and the north is at war, the emperor of the Ji family can't take care of both sides, and there may even be chaos in the family and country, at that time he can only ask for Chang'an."

Mu Ying saw this matter very clearly, and he said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, it is similar to what the Pingnan Houfu did back then, using the southwest to contain and threaten the imperial court." ”

"It's just that he is much more powerful than Li Shen in Chang'an, and his status in the capital is much higher than Li Shen."

When Mu Qing heard this, he walked in front of Mu Ying with his hands and shook his head: "If he doesn't rebel, our restoration of the country is just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later it will be empty." ”

"Father, don't worry."

Mu Ying smiled and said: "The contradiction between him and the emperor of the Ji family is getting heavier and heavier, sooner or later there will be a day when you live and die, and when the time comes, we will take a hand behind our backs, and he will rebel if he does not rebel." ”

With that, he took a deep breath.

"Father rest assured, his son will definitely make the Mu family prosperous."

"It doesn't matter if it's prosperous or not."

Old man Mu turned around and left, and sighed before leaving: "Just don't cut off the incense." ”

Compared with Mu Qing's steadiness, Mu Ying looked excited, and immediately went to find Li Xin's brother Lin Hu who stayed in the southwest.
