Chapter 137: Old Stubborn

He Xiang is still very reliable, he has been doing his best in the right camp of the forbidden army for so many years, but he is from the Chen Guogong Mansion, although he has a relationship with Li Xin, but it is still unknown whether he will listen to Li Xin in this kind of life and death event.

Therefore, Li Xin will let Zhao Yi move out of Hou Jingde's reputation,

Hou Jingde of the left battalion of the forbidden army is one of the three heroes of Renchen that year, although the position is similar to He Xiang, but the status in the capital is much higher than He Xiang, and although Hou Jingde is nowhere to be found after leading the troops to the expedition, he is still the general of the forbidden army in office, and his authority is also higher than He Xiang.

The problem is that Hou Jingde alone is most likely unwilling to cooperate with Li Xin.

Hearing Zhao Yi mention Hou Jingde, He Xiang frowned and said, "After General Hou led his troops to the battle, there was no news, it turned out that he was captured by Hou Ye Li. ”

Zhao Yi shook his head and said: "My father-in-law and General Hou are friends, how can we talk about catching words?" It was only because General Hou was injured that his father-in-law sent General Hou to Luzhou, on the one hand, to recuperate from his injuries, and on the other hand, to be a guest. ”

"General Hou is the pillar of the forbidden army, and he is also a pivotal figure in the Great Jin military, if he is willing to cooperate with Li Houye, Li Houye's entry into Beijing will already be nine out of ten, why bother to find me, an old man who has retired from the position of general of the right battalion?"

Zhao Yi's expression froze, and then he arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Old general, the four Zhichong Mansions that went out of the city to fight with the Southwest Army a few days ago are all from the right battalion of the forbidden army, and many people in these four Zhichong Mansions should be recognized by the old general." ”

"After they left Beijing, they ended in a crushing defeat in just one day, and the four Zhichong Mansions suffered heavy losses, and more than 20,000 people were left behind by the Southwest Army."

"Afterwards, when the Southwest Army cleaned up the battlefield, my righteous father ordered himself to send the bodies of the four fallen soldiers of Zhichong Mansion back to the capital, and those soldiers of the right battalion who were seriously injured on the battlefield, the Southwest Army did not kill again, this matter, even if the old general is not in the forbidden army, should know."

He Xiang has been a general in the right battalion for so long, and the four right battalions have gone out of the city, and almost half of the soldiers have been dispatched, and he is naturally clear about this matter, and later the Southwest Army's approach to the soldiers of the right battalion, He Xiang received the news early in the morning even if he was in the capital.

Frankly speaking, that Marquis Li did a very righteous thing, and many people in the right camp of the forbidden army secretly gave his old boss a thumbs up.

He Xiang was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Hou Ye Li's personality, the old man naturally knows, but even so, it can't be the reason for the old man to sacrifice his life, at this time the old man has no public office, and he may have been watched by the eyes and ears of the imperial court, once he rashly returns to the right camp of the forbidden army, he may not have spoken yet, and he will die with a whimper." ”

"At this point, the old general naturally doesn't have to worry."

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "My father-in-law naturally asked the younger generation to look for the old general, and naturally everything has been arranged, and the old general will smoothly enter the right camp of the forbidden army. ”

He Xiang still shook his head.

"The old man now has a wife and children, just based on Hou Ye Li's words, it is impossible for the old man to fight with Hou Ye Li with his net worth."

"I'm afraid that whether you fight or not, you can't help the old general."

Zhao Yi bowed his head slightly, and said in a quiet tone: "The old general has led the right battalion of the forbidden army for many years, and he has always been in good order. ”

He Xiang was expressionless and did not speak.

"The old general is from Chen Guogong's mansion, so he will naturally be regarded by the people of the imperial court as a party of Chen Guogong's mansion, and the younger generation dares to ask the old general, where is Chen Guogong?"

He Xiang snorted: "Ye Guogong is naturally in the northern Xinjiang to rebuild the Zhenbei Army. ”

"Then the junior asks the old general again, when will the Zhenbei Army be rebuilt?"

Zhao Yi bowed his head and said: "Since the beginning of the Chengde period, the imperial court has stayed in the suppression of Chen Guogong's mansion, and now in the Yuanzhao period, the Zhenbei Army has emptied the family for the imperial court, and the imperial court gave the Zhenbei Army an edict, but it is forbidden for Chen Guogong Ye Mao to recruit new soldiers in northern Xinjiang, that is to say, the Zhenbei Army, which has lasted for three generations, will cease to exist in the future." ”

"The old general is from the Zhenbei Army, naturally he knows what the Zhenbei Army means to the Ye family than me, the Zhenbei Army does not exist, and the foundation of Chen Guogong's Mansion is gone, which is also one of the reasons why Ye Guogong has stayed in Northern Xinjiang for so long and refused to return to Beijing."

"Now, the imperial court is facing my southwest, and there is no time to take care of other things, once the imperial court relaxes, there is no Zhenbei army, where will there be any Chen Guogong Mansion?"

"Without Chen Guogong's Mansion, I'm afraid you, the old general, won't be able to stay alone."

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he was silent, and after He Xiang lowered his head and pondered for a while, he laughed at himself: "Xiao Langjun is not only articulate, but also more and more aggressive, and the high-spirited Li Houye is the same, if it weren't for Xiao Langjun still being a young man, the old man would have thought that Li Houye himself stood in front of the old man." ”

"Don't dare to hide the old general."

Zhao Yi bowed his head and said: "The younger generation is just a child, naturally he doesn't have these far-reaching insights, and what he said just now is just what the righteous father said, and the younger generation conveyed it on his behalf." ”

"The situation in the capital is very complicated now."

"If the fight continues, the Southwest Army may not be able to hold on, but when the Southwest Army retreats, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army will definitely be seven or eight out of ten, and which side the situation will go to now is all in the old general's thoughts."

After saying this, Zhao Yi got up, saluted He Xiang, and fell to the ground.

"Please think clearly, the old general."

He Xiang is also a person who has seen a big scene, facing Zhao Yi, a young man, naturally he will not be forced into a corner by him, this old general who has passed the Mandate of Heaven, he smiled: "If Grandpa Ye stood in front of the old man and said these words to the old man, no matter whether there was a fire pit in front of him or a knife mountain, the old man would be happy to accept his life if he was fighting for his life, but ......"

"Li Changan can't represent the Ye family."

He Xiang frowned, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if the old man dies alone, my He family is thin, and it doesn't matter if the old man dies, but Ye Guogong hasn't expressed his position yet, once I make an opinion, if something goes wrong, not only will my family lose their heads, but Chen Guogong's mansion will also be implicated by the old man." ”

"Hou Ye Li has jumped out of the capital, the family is in the southwest, so naturally he can be unscrupulous, but the old man can't, the old man's family is in the capital, and Ye Guogong's family is still in the capital."

"Hou Ye Li is the old man's old department, he handed it over with a word, and asked for the old man's life, and the old man would not frown, but ...... There are too many people involved in this matter, and the old man can't be the master. ”

The gray-haired old general looked up at Zhao Yi with a low voice.

"I bother Xiao Langjun to bring a letter to Marquis Li for the old man, and tell him that the old man can give up his life to do things for him, but the old man has one condition......"

His face was calm.

"I want to see Ye Guogong's attitude."

"The Ye family nodded, everyone fought together, there is no regret in life and death, the Ye family does not nod, the old man will not do anything for him Li Changan."
