Accidentally arrested Hou Jingde, which can only be said to be an unexpected episode by Li Xin, Li Xin simply comforted him a few words, and asked the doctor in Luzhou to give this old friend treatment, then got up and left, went back to his house in Luzhou, and went to deal with military affairs.

Although Li Shuo is in charge of the Southwest Army on the front line, Li Xin has taken all military affairs under the General's Mansion as early as when he was in the Southwest, and as long as the entire Southwest Army involves matters at or above the rank of colonel, everything will be sent to the General's Mansion, and then after being handled by the staff group in the General's Mansion, important matters will be selected and handed to Li Xin's desk.

Every day, Li Xin probably needs to spend an hour to two hours to deal with these military affairs, but fortunately, he was born in the army and led soldiers very early, so these things are quite familiar to him, and there is not much pressure.

The reason why he took these things to himself was not that Li Xin was in power, but that at this juncture, he must take all the power into his own hands, otherwise the Southwest Army would disintegrate by itself before the big thing could be done.

After dealing with the day's errands, Li Xin stretched his waist and walked out of his study, and as soon as he went out, he saw Mu Ying, who was dressed in single clothes, waiting at the door.

At this time, Mu Ying and the Hanzhou army were resting in Luzhou, and this General Mu had nothing to do, he was an idle person, so he often came to Li Xin to drink.

Li Xin frowned slightly: "Brother Mu is here, let people say hello to me, why are you waiting here?" ”

"It's not a big deal, don't dare to disturb the general to deal with military affairs."

Mu Hei said with a smile: "I'm just idle, I'm just looking for the general to drink." ”

Li Xin glanced at this guy and said helplessly: "I drink at night on weekdays, how can anyone come to me at noon to drink, anyway, did you encounter something?" ”

"It's not a big deal."

Mu Ying paused, and said with a wry smile: "It's that someone from the court contacted me privately yesterday and was driven back by me, I didn't sleep for half the night last night, and I still have to say hello to the general after thinking about it, otherwise someone will say that I Mu Ying fornicated with the court in the future." ”

The two of them said as they walked, Li Xin walked in front of Mu Ying, and when he heard this, he glanced back at this guy, and said with some amusement: "At present, the generals in the Southwest Army have been more or less contacted by the people of the imperial court. ”

After all, the Great Jin Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, and if anyone is selected to be an official in the imperial court, he may not be willing to be a thief, so in this regard, many generals in the southwest have been infiltrated by the imperial court with heavy profits, so that before the southwest army went out, nearly one percent of the people did the internal response of the imperial court.

Because of the urgency of the situation, the imperial court was more generous to the top of the Southwest Army, Li Shuo reported to Li Xin more than a month ago, and the imperial court had contacted him privately, and the title promised to him was higher than Li Xin's title in the imperial court.

Li Xin asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of reward the imperial court promised to General Mu?" ”

Mu Ying coughed and grinned: "Compared to the general, your title in the imperial court is much higher." ”

Li Xin smiled dumbly: "Guogong? ”

Mu Ying shook her head and said softly: "The prince, the hereditary king." ”

"So generous."

General Li showed a mocking look on his face and said: "My division fought in the north to Yandu for seven or eight years, and he almost died more than ten times. ”

"It's still you, General Mu, who has a big face."

Mu Ying's face was slightly red, and she smiled embarrassedly: "What did the general say, how can I compare with Ye Shuai, I mean, if the imperial court can contact me privately, you will be able to contact most of the people in the Southwest Army, and the general must take precautions in this regard, and can't give the people of the imperial court a loophole......"

"I can't prevent it."

Li Xin frowned slightly, and said: "It's like doing business, people are a century-old shop, we are still a new store, naturally believe in them more than in us, and the errands in their store are more expensive than the errands in our store." ”

"But it doesn't really matter."

General Li said quietly: "As long as we can win on the battlefield, no matter how many wavering people there are in the Southwest Army, in the end we will be the most loyal soldiers in the Southwest." ”

"Human nature is like this, there is no need to make a fuss."

Speaking of this, Li Xin opened his mouth to look at the sky and said lightly: "According to the time I discussed with Li Shuo, they will officially attack the capital tomorrow." ”

Mu Ying bowed her head slightly, her face was serious: "General, is there a place where my Hanzhou army can help?" ”

"Ready to answer."

Li Xin's face was calm, and he said: "I'm not sure what kind of attitude the imperial court will have in the face of our firearms attack, if the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army pours out, Li Shuo can only retreat, you bring people to prepare and meet them at any time." ”

After Emperor Wu ruled the world, the capital became the center of the world, so from Emperor Wu to Emperor Chengde, the two dynasties rebuilt the city wall, and the capital in front of him can be called the most solid city wall in the world.

If Li Xin had artillery, he could also try to attack the city with artillery, but if there were only earth bombs, it was undoubtedly impossible to use catapults to blow up the walls of the capital with catapults.

Therefore, attacking the capital is by no means an overnight thing, and it cannot be completely attacked from the outside, but also from the inside of the capital

Mu Ying bowed down.

"The last general will go down and prepare."

Before Mu Ying had gone far, a subordinate of the Great General's Mansion walked over with small steps, and whispered to Li Xin: "General, there is news from General Li Shuo's side, saying that the imperial court has sent an envoy to see you. ”

"No, no, no."

Li Xin shook his head without hesitation, and said in a muffled voice: "Didn't you already let Senior Brother Ye come once, Senior Brother Ye hasn't negotiated with me yet, what's the use of others coming?" ”

The subordinate bowed his head and said: "General, the news from the Ningzhou army says that the envoy is an old man, surnamed Ram......"

Li Xin was about to turn around and go back to the house, but when he heard this, he immediately stopped,

Ram Shu ...... If I remember correctly, this old man is over eighty years old this year, and he can still withstand such a toss.

Ram Shu was Zaifu when he was in the Chengde Dynasty, and in the Taikang Dynasty, he was the prime minister for almost ten years.

What's more...... This old man is the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty.

In the era of the Zhuxia dynasty, it was not as later generations understood, the imperial power was high, ignoring all rules, and everyone had to prostrate on the ground when facing the imperial power.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, in most dynasties, the power of the dynasty is checked and balanced by the power of the monarch, that is to say, if the official achieves the level of the prime minister, in a sense, he can already make decisions for the country.

Moreover, this old man has been the chief of the three dynasties, and his protégés and former officials are probably all over the Great Jin Dynasty, and his right to speak in the court is very heavy.

Li Xin only hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Bring the old man to Luzhou."
