Chapter 103: Don't ask for help
With his face covered, he is no longer Li Changan.
The real Li Chang'an, who is still a general of Zhenbei in northern Xinjiang, works hard day and night to deal with the military affairs of the Zhenbei Army, this time it is not Li Changan who came from northern Xinjiang to the southwest, nor can it be Li Changan.
Because Li Xin has not yet wanted to completely turn his face with the imperial court, and he is not ready to completely turn his face with the imperial court.
His family is still in the capital, and most of his roots are in the capital, and he came to the southwest to help Hanzhou relieve the siege, not to rebel.
Therefore, he had to cover his face, otherwise there would not be a step down in the end.
Of course, if the emperor refuses to pretend not to recognize him, then he has no choice but to flip the table and stop playing.
But for all this, Li Xin is prepared.
With Li Xin's understanding of the Son of Heaven, as long as he can lead the Hanzhou Army to win the so-called Southwest Alliance Army of the imperial court this time, then it is impossible for the Son of Heaven to turn his face against him.
The Son of Heaven would even help him to cover the black scarf on his face to death, and help him finish this.
When Mu Ying heard this, she was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "This is not the place to talk, Marquis Li, let's go into the city and talk!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a longbow from his back, shot a soldier of the imperial court with an arrow, and said to Li Xin: "Hurry up!" ”
"I came out with two thousand horsemen and tore a gap, but I couldn't hold it long. We must withdraw to Hanzhou as soon as possible! ”
Li Xin shook the reins of the ink horse in his hand, and said with a smile to Mu Ying: "When did you get the cavalry, there are still thousands, General Mu is generous!" ”
As he spoke, his ink horse rushed into the chaos and rushed in the direction of Hanzhou.
Mu Ying followed behind him and said with a smile: "Didn't you write to you in the first two years that I got thousands of good horses, you Hou Ye Li was busy and forgot about it!" ”
Li Xin of the Hanzhou Army was just remote control, giving Mu Ying the greatest power, and the two of them were just joking when they said this, and they didn't mean anything else.
Pei Jin led a lot of people, but the entire southwest is full of foot soldiers, basically there are no cavalry, so his defense line is easily torn open by these two thousand cavalry, and when he reacted and transferred troops to surround and eat these two thousand cavalry, these cavalry had quickly shrunk back and fled back to Hanzhou City.
After receiving the news, General Pei glanced at Hanzhou City with hatred and gritted his teeth.
A few days ago, he led people to attack Hanzhou City, the situation is not ideal, these Hanzhou troops in Hanzhou City are not the rabble he imagined, on the contrary, the combat power is quite good, even more than the garrisons in the southwest, chasing the forbidden army.
This led to that siege, Pei Jin suffered heavy losses, killed thousands of people, and had no results.
He could only bite the bullet and continue to surround the city of Hanzhou to the death.
…………
On the other side, Li Xin and the others had already broken into Hanzhou City under the cover of two thousand cavalry, and after the suspension bridge in Hanzhou City fell, Mu Ying jumped off the jujube red horse and let out a long breath.
He wiped the blood from his face, then looked at Li Xin and said with a smile, "Master Hou, are you okay?" ”
Li Xin has a lot of subordinates over the years, but he doesn't have many friends, and if he counts his fingers, only Zhao Jia and Mu Ying, two peers, can call him Li Changan in person.
Although he and Mu Ying also have some subordinate relationships, the relationship between friends and partners is more serious.
Li Xin jumped down from the ink horse, then patted the big black horse's buttocks, and pulled out a small arrow from its thigh, and immediately blood flowed.
"I'm fine, but it's suffering."
Li Xin treated its wound while finding a piece of cloth to bandage it.
Along the way, they didn't change horses, that is to say, the Mo Ma carried him for thousands of miles in more than ten days, which was not enough, and the Mo Hu's foot strength could barely support it, but as soon as he entered the city, it also shot a few arrows, not for the strong muscles of the horse, its leg may be useless.
Mu Ying is also a horse lover, he stepped forward and patted Mo Xiao's head, and said with a smile: "Xiao Hei is very strong, and it will be fine in a few days." ”
Li Xin had a total of two black horses, the first one was called "Dark Cloud", when the Renchen Palace changed, because Li Xin smashed open the gate of the inner city, so that the dark cloud was directly shot and disabled, and died within two years.
Later, there was this ink horse.
Mu Ying recognized these two horses, he called the dark cloud "Big Black", and this one called "Little Black".
When Li Xin heard this, he patted Mo Xiao's huge horse's head, turned back and smiled at Mu Ying: "I haven't been to the southwest for many years, let's go, take me to see Uncle Mu and say hello to his old man." ”
Mo Hu was injured, and Li Xin couldn't bear to ride it anymore, so he found another horse, got on the horse with Mu Ying, and prepared to go to Mu's house.
Before leaving, he looked back at Shen Gang.
"You are also tired, so you can rest for a few days, and I will still use you to do errands."
Shen Gang and Wang Tao both bowed their heads and clenched their fists at Li Xin: "Obey orders." ”
Li Xin and Mu Ying got on the horse and rushed in the direction of Mu's house.
The two of them didn't ride fast, Li Xin sat on his horse and asked, "Who are the people who are attacking the city over there in the imperial court?" ”
Since this incident came out, because of the distance and the siege of Hanzhou City, there was actually only two letters of communication between the two people, and Li Xin did not know much about the situation in the southwest at this time.
Mu Ying took a deep breath.
"You should recognize this person, Master Hou."
"Pei Jin, Pei Saburo."
Li Xin sat on the back of the horse and nodded slightly.
"It's him."
Li Xin was silent for a while, and continued to ask, "Has he attacked the city in the past few days?" ”
"The day before yesterday, I attacked Hanzhou City once, and I fought for two whole days before retreating."
Mu Hei had a wry smile on his face.
"In two days, our Hanzhou army lost two or three thousand dead and two or three thousand wounded before Pei Jin was beaten back, and a lot of materials for defending the city were consumed."
"If this General Pei can attack the city at this strength for ten days, it is estimated that I will not be able to hold it."
Li Xin narrowed his eyes.
"There should have been a lot of deaths on his side, otherwise a person like Pei Jin who is eager to make meritorious contributions would not have withdrawn from the army."
Li Xintai knew Pei Jin.
Pei Jin, as an old minister of the former dynasty, he desperately wanted to protect himself in front of the Son of Taikang, and at this time he received such a big task, he must have wanted to take Hanzhou as soon as possible and return to Beijing to surrender his life to the Son of Heaven.
Along the way, Mu Ying briefly explained the current situation in Hanzhou to Li Xin, and then he looked up at Li Xin and asked, "Master Hou, you... Have you contacted Li Shuo? ”
Li Xin frowned: "What do you want to do with him?" ”
"Li Shuo still has tens of thousands of troops around him, most of them are hidden at the junction of us and Tubo, contact him, and the danger of Hanzhou will be solved."
Mu Ying looked at Li Xin with wide eyes.
"Master Hou, you... Wouldn't it be that no one had contact, so he entered Hanzhou City alone, right? ”
Seeing that the Marquis of Jing'an nodded lightly, General Mu smiled bitterly: "Then Marquis, you might as well not come in, so that when the city of Hanzhou is broken, there will be a few fewer deaths..."
"Rest assured, we will solve our own affairs by ourselves."
Li Xin's eyes were calm.
"I can't ask for their army yet."
