Fu County is already the hinterland of the southwest.

If Fuxian is forced, the Pingnan army will have to defend Mianzhu with all its might, because as soon as Mianzhu is broken, Jincheng will be exposed in front of the enemy, and then Mianzhu and Jiange will be forced, and the strength of the Pingnan army will not support them to meet the enemy in two places, and the situation in the southwest will be completely turned to the side of the imperial court in an instant.

This is also the reason why Li Shen is so interested in Fuxian.

He took a thousand horsemen from the Sword Pavilion and rushed to Fuxian non-stop, almost day and night along the way, and finally arrived at Fucheng City at noon on the third day.

However, this general of the Pillar Kingdom, when he was still four or five miles away from Fucheng, he held the reins.

Because Fucheng has changed banners.

A huge Li flag was still flying at the head of Fucheng City, but Li Shen knew very well in his heart that this Li was no longer his Li.

Near this Li Zi flag, there is also a hideous king flag, which represents that Fucheng has changed hands.

At this time, the city wall of Fucheng was still scarlet, and the corpses were scattered under the city wall, and there were many people in the uniform of the forbidden army cleaning up the battlefield.

General Zhu Guo stared at the direction of Fucheng, then took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

According to the time calculation, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court should only have more than three days to attack Fucheng, and in just over three days, this army that does not know where it came from has successively broken through Jiangyou Pass and won Fucheng in one go.

This made Li Shen extremely uncomfortable.

After Fucheng was occupied, if Li Shen could not drive this imperial army out of Fucheng as soon as possible, his Pingnan army would be constrained from front to back, and at most half a year, the southwest might not be able to hold on.

Hou Ye Li sat on a tall horse, his eyes were full of anger, with his cultivation, it was difficult to continue to remain calm at this time.

"Command Jincheng, immediately send people out of the city, and prepare to attack Fucheng!"

One of the knights behind him immediately bowed his head and said respectfully, "Obey your orders!" ”

After saying that, the knight immediately left the queue and went in the direction of Jincheng.

Li Shen thought for a while and slowly moved in the direction of Fucheng.

The thousand horsemen behind him immediately followed him, and a Li Shen's personal guard followed, and said in a deep voice: "Master Hou, Fucheng has been lost, and the front is too dangerous, so don't lean over again." ”

Li Shen shook his head.

"They turned over from the Ferris Ridge, there can be no horses, we are on horses, they can't catch up with us, as long as we are an arrow away, there will be no danger."

This guard had no way to refute, so he could only follow behind Li Shen and slowly move towards Fucheng.

On the tower of Fucheng, Jing'an Hou, who had already taken off his armor, looked at the cavalry coming from afar.

He had blood on his body.

In fact, it was not easy for them to take Fucheng within three days, after all, although they had an absolute advantage in terms of troops, it was not easy to take a city with 3,000 defenders for a while and a half.

In this siege battle, Li Xin's troops took turns to attack the city, and the little grandfather Ye Mao did not close his eyes for two days, and finally he was hit by an arrow in his body, and was forcibly carried off the battlefield by Li Xin.

The last time he stormed the city, it was Li Xin who personally covered his armor and led the team to charge, so he took Fucheng in one go.

In this battle, Li Xin's troops suffered at least 5,000 casualties, more than half of whom had closed their eyes.

This battle loss ratio is not very qualified, according to the comparison of their strength, if the operation is good, it is impossible to die so many people, but because Li Xin is too anxious to take Fucheng, so many people died.

But when Li Xin stopped at the top of the wall and looked at the group of horsemen who rushed over in a hurry, he felt that everything was worth it.

If they take Fucheng two days later, they may be blocked outside the city by the Pingnan army, and nearly 50,000 people under his command may be blocked under Fucheng by then.

Li Shen took a thousand people and stopped a stone's throw away from Fucheng.

Li Shen stood in the city tower, changed into clean clothes, and then held a delicate clairvoyant mirror in his hand, squinting one eye at these cavalry in the distance with this rough telescope.

Through the lenses, he saw a familiar face.

Then, a smile appeared on the face of the Marquis of Jing'an.

He waved his hand to the person beside him, and said with a smile: "Come, prepare a horse for me, there is a big man coming, I want to go out of the city to meet him." ”

Zhao Jia on the side took the clairvoyant mirror in Li Xin's hand, glanced at the person in the distance, and said with some concern: "Master Hou, they are horsemen, it is too dangerous for you to approach rashly." ”

Li Xin smiled dumbly: "This is our territory, do they dare to rush into battle?" If they charge, it's the big guy who is in danger, not me. ”

"Don't worry, he won't dare to exchange my life."

Comparatively speaking, for the importance of the situation in the southwest, Li Xin can't catch up with Li Shen, without Li Xin on the imperial court's side, at most the progress of pacifying the southwest will slow down for a few years, but if there is no Li Shen in the southwest, the Pingnan army will collapse almost immediately, and the imperial court can easily take the southwest.

This general of the Pillar Kingdom is an absolute intellectual, and Li Xin can be sure that it is absolutely impossible for him to exchange his life.

A moment later, Li Xin rode a horse and led five hundred foot soldiers out of the city gate of Fuxian.

Zhao Jia was still standing on the city tower, he was still a little worried about his boss, after all, the brave and invincible little grandfather had already been injured and fell on the bed at this time, and no one could protect Li Xin closely.

After a pillar of incense, Li Xin had already ridden to a place fifty steps away from Li Shen.

Because the enemy is a cavalry, there is no shortage of archers, so Li Xin has a row of foot soldiers in front of him, holding a shield.

The father and son met under the city of Fucheng, which is more than 2,000 miles away from the capital.

Li Shen's face was expressionless.

And the Marquis of Jing'an is full of smiles.

"Long time no see, General Zhu Guo."

He greeted Li Shen with a smile.

Li Shen didn't pay attention to Li Xin, but closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, finally opened his eyes and looked at Li Xin, and said slowly: "Until now, I have to admit that you are indeed very powerful." ”

"You don't need to say this, this Hou Ye himself knows it in his heart."

Li Xin had an annoying smile on his face, and he glanced at Li Shen with a smile.

"Why, the Marquis of Pingnan, who is calm and calm on weekdays, why is his face so ugly at this time?"

"Are you angry?"

Li Shen's face was expressionless.

"You quit Fucheng now, for the sake of your mother's face, I can still let you out, if you are stubborn, then you will definitely die in Fucheng."

The smile on Li Xin's face was even worse.

"Until now, you're still scaring me like a child."

"I'm right here, and if you have the ability, you'll kill me."

The Marquis of Jing'an's expression was arrogant.

"I'll step back, I'm your son."
