Chapter 31: Packing Up

The northern Xinjiang is turbulent, and the war is about to break out, but a war of this scale, even if it really starts, it will not happen overnight, and the two sides may stalemate for a long time, months or even years.

However, now the Xianbei Department is short of food and can't support it for a few months, so before they officially attack Jimen Pass, most of them will loot around near Jimen Pass, there are a lot of beacons similar to Xiao Chenji near Jimen Pass, a beacon guards a large number of people nearby, Fengsui is much less difficult than Jimen Pass, once the fight starts, most of the Zhenbei army will abandon Fengsui and defend Jimen Pass with all their might.

But even so, the Zhenbei Army is run by the Ye family for three generations, and it is not a rabble, as long as the Zhenbei Army is willing to stick to Jimen Pass, this battle will be fought at least until the end of the year, and it will be possible to produce a result.

The Yuwen Ministry slowly advanced towards Jimen Pass, and the news was also spreading from Northern Xinjiang to all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty at the fastest speed.

Naturally, hundreds of officials in the capital were shaken, and everyone gathered in one place to discuss how to deal with the war in northern Xinjiang, and at the same time, the news also spread to the southwest at the fastest speed, but because it was thousands of miles apart, when the news of Jizhou reached Jincheng in the southwest, it was already the middle of April of the fifth year of Yuan Zhao.

During the Chinese New Year this year, it was Zhao Jia and Li Shuo who spent the New Year in Yongzhou, but after the New Year, Li Xin followed them out of Yongzhou and went to Jincheng to discuss the question of when to leave Shu.

This time, he brought his wife and children from Qiyang to Jincheng, after all, Yongzhou was still within the sphere of influence of the imperial court, and it was not safe to stay in Yongzhou at this time, so the family simply moved to Jincheng for the time being.

Li Yuan is his other garden in Jincheng, after all, he is not very good and has been living in the Shu Palace, which will make people unable to distinguish between priority and priority.

He is the core of the southwest, and the news was also transmitted back by the dark department arranged by Shen Gang in Jizhou, so the news was sent to Li Yuan as soon as possible, and after Li Xin received the news handed over by Shen Gang himself, he frowned slightly, and then said: "Go to the Jingluo Yamen to ask Mr. You'an to come here to see me, and find someone to ask Mu Ying to come over." ”

Zhao Jia is working in Jincheng, so it is naturally very good to invite him over, but Mu Ying is training outside the city, so there is some trouble in inviting him, as for Li Shuo...... At this time, he was stationed in the Sword Pavilion, and it was unlikely that he would be invited over.

Li Yuan was very close to the Jingluo Yamen, only half an hour later, Zhao Jia rushed over as soon as possible, he was still wearing the official uniform of the Jingluo envoy, and after entering Li Yuan, he bowed to Li Xin from a distance.

"Master Hou, what's the matter that asked Shen Gang to come to me personally?"

Originally, he was handling government affairs through the Yamen, but when he saw Shen Gang coming over in person, he was so shocked that he hurriedly put down the affairs in his hand and rushed to Li Yuan.

Li Xin didn't say anything, just handed the news sent by Shen Gang to Zhao Jia again, Zhao Jia had the ability to look at ten lines, and after only scanning it twice, he immediately glanced at Li Xin with a solemn brow.

"Master Hou, the north...... Fighting? ”

Li Xin frowned slightly: "The brother over there is temporarily saying that the army that Yuwenzhao has assembled is advancing towards Jimen Pass, but according to this posture, the fight will definitely start, the key is to see how the Zhenbei army responds, whether it can stop Yuwenzhao, or how long it can be stopped." ”

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Jing'an glanced at the north and shook his head: "According to the speed of our intelligence transmission, this letter was already half a month ago, and it is estimated that the two sides have fought for the first time at this time, but we are far away, how to do it, we have to wait for news a little bit." ”

Zhao Jia sat opposite Li Xin and glanced up at Li Xin.

"Master Hou, you ...... I have brought the Zhenbei Army and have also been in contact with Yu Wenzhao, if there is a real fight, what does Hou Ye think of the situation? ”

"Not very optimistic."

Li Xin said helplessly: "The life of the Zhenbei Army is not particularly good, the same service, the equipment obtained is worse than that of the Yunzhou Army, in my opinion, as long as Yuwen Zhao is willing to die, it is only a matter of time to take Jimen Pass." ”

Speaking of this, Li Houye looked at the north and said slowly: "It's just that Yuwen Zhao has just unified the Yuwen Department not long ago, and this is the time when he is most willing to die. ”

The reason is very simple, although the Yuwen tribes are unified, the previous three Yuwen tribes also respect Yuwen Zhao as the king, but there is a difference between relatives and relatives, and it is not the descendants who are not brought out by themselves after all, as long as Yuwen Zhao has a little selfishness, when he fights, he will put the people of other tribes in the front, and his own descendants in the back, so that even if the war is consumed, he will not feel distressed.

What's more, the more the other three tribes died, the more stable his position as the king of northern Yan would be, and the more conducive it would be for him to completely control the entire Xianbei tribe.

Zhao Jia pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Xin, and said, "Master Hou, if the thistle gate is broken, we can also take this opportunity to get out of Shu." ”

The Southwest Army has been training for so many years, and has made so many heavenly thunders, whether it is Mu Ying or Zhao Jia, they all have the idea of leading troops out of Shu, Li Xin came to Jincheng after the New Year, and he also discussed with them when it was a good opportunity to go out of Shu.

But at this time, hearing Zhao Jia's words, Li Xin frowned: "Brother You'an, the Xianbei Department is a foreign race, a foreign race that was driven out of the customs by Master Ye. ”

"We can take advantage of the danger of others when we do things, but it's not good to take advantage of the danger of Zhuxia to seek personal gain?"

Zhao Jia frowned and said: "Hou Ye, the sage said that Yi Di entered China is China, Xianbei nobles have been in China for more than 100 years, most of them have been sinicized, they are not ignorant aliens, at this time, everyone is just relying on means, not as serious as Hou Ye said." ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"Brother You'an takes it for granted, if it was a Xianbei person more than forty years ago, there would be no problem in saying this, but now more than forty years have passed, and the nobles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have become Xianbei people again, and there is a shortage of materials outside the customs.

As he spoke, Li Xin glanced at Zhao Jia.

"The sage also said that when China enters Yidi, then Yidizhi, although these Xianbei people speak Chinese, they are still Xianbei people in their bones, once they occupy the north, things will be out of control."

Zhao Jia frowned slightly, he glanced at Li Xin, and asked, "Master Hou thinks that all kinds of situations can be cleaned up?" ”

"Yuwen Zhao entered the customs, but stopped a hundred miles outside Jimen Pass, so that even if they are in trouble, the scale will not be too large, and they can be cleaned up."

"And who's going to clean it up?"

Zhao Jia raised his head and glanced at Li Xin lightly.

"It can't be you, Master Hou?"
