The things in Jing'anhou have not affected the people of the capital for the New Year, and what happened in the southwest has not yet been made public in the capital.

The Hanzhou army wants to control the southwest, so as the southwest hinterland, but also the southwest core of Jincheng, the first to bear the brunt of the impact of the Hanzhou army, Pei Jin last siege, with a part of the soldiers and horses is the garrison of Jincheng, at this time the Jincheng garrison suffered heavy casualties, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Hanzhou army.

Originally, they could also rely on the strong city of Jincheng to garrison, but unfortunately, with such an unreasonable thing as Tianlei, the city gate of Jincheng was useless, and it was blown open by Mu Ying and others with Tianlei, and then rushed into it very strongly.

By the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Hanzhou army had fully occupied Jincheng, General Mu led his old father from Hanzhou to Jincheng, and when he walked on the main road of Jincheng, Mu Ying smiled at his father Mu Qing and said: "How does my father feel when he returns to his homeland?" ”

When Cheng Han was still there, Jincheng was the capital of Cheng Han, it was called Han at that time, as the core of Cheng Han's Mu family, naturally he also lived in Jincheng, Li Zhijie broke Jincheng, Cheng Han suffered a big change, when the Mu family escaped from Jincheng, Mu Qing was still a teenage child, and more than 40 years have passed in a blink of an eye, Mu Qing has grown into an old man with a gray beard.

The old man walked on the main road of Jincheng, looked left and right from time to time, and then sighed slowly: "I only came back for more than forty years, and I don't know Handu anymore." ”

At this, he shook his head.

"It's a pity that Li Fugongzi is gone, otherwise he would have come out by supporting him, and Cheng Han would have really returned to the country."

Li Fu is Li Xing's younger brother, who was forcibly sent by Li Xing to the capital to assassinate the Son of Heaven, but was finally defeated, fled to Datongfang, and was killed by Li Xin himself.

Today's Mu Ying is not a Han person, and he basically has no feelings for his homeland, but Mu Qing grew up in the Han capital, and he more or less wants to really rebuild the Han Dynasty.

is to tear off Li Xin's control and truly restore the Cheng Han of the year.

Mu Ying supported her father and shook her head slightly: "Father, what kind of virtue are the two brothers Li Xing and Li Fu, you have watched them grow up, you know much better than your son, now that Cheng Han has been destroyed for more than forty years, forty years, the bones will be eroded into mud and dust, and it is impossible to restore the old view." ”

General Mu was blunt.

"Cheng Han has passed."

Mu Qing frowned slightly, but still sighed: "My father knows this, but I just sigh a little about my homeland, the current world is the world of you and Hou Ye Li's generation, and my father doesn't participate." ”

As he spoke, the old man walked towards the former Pingnan General's Mansion, that is, the ancestral residence of the Mu family, Mu Ying shook his head, turned his head and looked at the former Chenghan Palace.

This Chenghan Imperial Palace has not been inhabited for more than 40 years, and the former abolished prince Ji Yu lived for a short time for more than a year, and then the palace was locked again.

Mu Ying waved his hand and instructed his subordinates: "Give you ten days, and clean up the royal city within ten days." ”

At this time, the Hanzhou army, because of the defeat of Jincheng, was greatly boosted, and every soldier was full of energy, and after hearing Mu Ying's words, he immediately shouted yes.

Mu Ying glanced at the tall Chenghan Imperial City again, turned to leave.

On the third day after Mu Ying entered Jincheng, the envoys sent by the imperial court to the southwest finally arrived at the city of Jincheng and asked to meet Mu Ying.

There are great changes in the southwest, the Son of Heaven will definitely send someone to calm down this matter, according to reason, the best candidate should be Li Xin, after all, Li Xin has a great influence in the southwest, but he is afraid that Li Xin will "never return", so he can only choose a suitable person from his side to negotiate with Mu Ying in the southwest.

This person set off on the first day of the Lunar New Year, hurried slowly, and finally arrived in the southwest in more than ten days.

However, General Mu did not immediately "meet" these envoys of the imperial court.

After he knew about it, he simply arranged a place for these court envoys to live, and then he himself rode a horse, personally took dozens of people out of the city for ten miles, and waited for more than an hour under the Shili Pavilion, and finally waited for a very inconspicuous carriage on the official road.

The carriage swayed, and finally arrived at the Ten Mile Pavilion.

Mu Yingshi smiled, greeted him, and smiled at the carriage: "Mr. Zhao can be regarded as here." ”

Mu Ying is now the de facto controller of the southwest, and in terms of the sphere of influence, he has surpassed Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, in the southwest, he is a veritable king of the southwest, but he still gives his greatest respect to this carriage.

In the carriage, a middle-aged scholar dressed in white slowly stepped out of the carriage, and he bowed his head to Mu Ying and saluted.

"General Mu is polite."

In the third year of Taikang, after Li Xin finished fighting the Pingnan Army, he left to return to Beijing, but at that time he left Zhao Jia in the southwest, on the one hand, he helped Mu Ying form the Hanzhou Army, and on the other hand, he ended up in the southwest on behalf of Li Xin, which was five years, and he did not return to the capital until the eighth year of Taikang.

In five years, he and Mu Ying can be said to be extremely familiar.

Mu Ying grinned at Zhao Jia.

"When my husband left last year, I said that it would be better for my husband to stay in the southwest, and now in less than a year, my husband has returned to the southwest."

Zhao Jia took his wife and child out of the carriage and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from General Mu, I left the southwest last year, and I thought that I might not come back in this life, but I didn't expect to meet General Mu again so soon, maybe this is fate." ”

Zhao Jia, in terms of brain, is not inferior to Li Xin, and even surpassed, in the past five years in the southwest, the southwest and Hanzhou are arranged in an orderly manner, Mu Ying has always admired him very much, while saluting his wife, while smiling: "This is the fate of Mr. and the southwest, maybe Mr. will be inseparable from the southwest in his life." ”

Zhao Jia shook his head slightly, very disapproving, but he came to the southwest for business, and after a few words of greeting, he immediately asked, "Has the envoy of the imperial court arrived?" ”

"Here we are."

Mu Ying grinned: "But I ignored them, knowing that Mr. was coming, everything will wait for Mr. to come, and then I will make an idea." ”

Mu Ying looks like a rough man with a big grin on the surface, but in fact he is very careful, for example, in dealing with the relationship with Li Xin, he is very good.

He knew that Zhao Jia was sent by Li Xin, so he simply began to delegate power.

Zhao Jia was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "General Mu doesn't have to be like this, I just came to the southwest to give you ideas, and it depends on General Mu himself how to do it." ”

"Sir, even if you have an idea."

Mu Ying smiled and said, "I've listened to it all." ”

The two of them walked towards Jincheng while talking, and after Mu Ying briefly explained the current situation in the southwest to Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia nodded and spoke slowly.

"The people from the imperial court, put them aside to dry and leave them alone, now what General Mu has to do is to take the Jianmen Pass as soon as possible, so that the southwest really has room for negotiation with the imperial court!"

Mu Hei said with a smile.

"Sir's thoughts coincide with mine, and it seems that Mu Ying is not so stupid."

Zhao Jia turned his head and took a serious look at Mu Ying.

"General Mu is not stupid at all, he is a rare smart person."
