The purpose of such a drama in the city is to let the officers and soldiers of the Southwest Army know what they are going to do next, Li Shuo has been leading the Ningzhou Army for several years, and Mu Ying has been leading the Hanzhou Army for more than ten years, and both of them have enough ability to control the whole army, and they don't need to worry about whether the Southwest Army can control it.

The so-called reading of the text is just a gesture, and this gesture is not for the people of the Southwest Army, but for the imperial court and the people of the world.

After the battle of Xiangyang City, at this time, including the imperial court, the world did not know how many eyes were looking at Xiangyang City, in order to be able to announce to the world, Li Xin even deliberately set aside a month to let people from other forces arrive in Xiangyang, so that they could see clearly what the Southwest Army was going to do.

At the same time, this also means that Li Xin and the Great Jin Dynasty have completely turned their faces on the bright side.

In the past, although Li Xin and the imperial court were also incompatible, there was still the last fig leaf on the two sides, that is, Li Xin was still an official of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he was still the general of the Great Jin Dynasty, Taifu, Jing'an Hou and the concubine of the Great Jin, none of these titles were taken off, but as soon as this document was issued, Li Xin was the thief of the Great Jin, and it would not be long before the imperial court would issue an edict and remove Li Xin from all his positions.

But these are not important, these famous official products are precious in the eyes of ordinary people, and when they reach the level of Li Xin, they are no longer in their eyes.

Now Li Xin, or the Southwest Army, has only one way out, and that is to enter the capital.

If they can't enter the capital, they can only retreat to Jianmen Pass and wait for death, even if their generation does not die, their descendants will pay the price for this behavior, and in the history books of later generations, they will also be recorded as anti-thieves who are not self-sufficient.

After entering the capital, everyone ascended to heaven, and everyone could leave a glorious image in the history books.

Xiangyang is about 1,500 miles away from the capital, this distance is not too far, the fast horse is four or five days to arrive, from Xiangyang to the middle of the capital, there is no longer any particularly sad obstacles, as long as you pass through Suizhou Luzhou, you can reach Gyeonggi.

On the third day after the reading of the inscription, the vanguard general Mu Ying left Xiangyang City with 50,000 Hanzhou troops and slowly marched in the direction of the capital.

Because it was Li Shuo's Ningzhou army that attacked Xiangyang that was the main attacker, Mu Ying's department had almost no casualties and preserved all its combat strength, and Li Xin's goal for him was to advance all the way to the Gyeonggi area, and then camp to wait for Li Shuo's Ningzhou army.

During these three days, Li Xin also had people rush to make a big banner embroidered with the word "Ji", which was held by Mu Ying's vanguard army and advanced to the capital.

With such a banner in place, the Southwest Army will have a lot less resistance, and at least it can find an excuse for those in the imperial court who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

On the day when Mu Ying led the troops to open out, Li Xin and Zhao Jia went to the East City Gate to see him off, Li Xin was still wearing a cotton robe, walked up to Mu Ying, and said with a smile: "Brother Mu is going east, although there is no major obstacle, but it will not be smooth sailing if you want to come, I mean if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can avoid it first, and wait for the Chinese army to rush over." ”

Mu Ying bowed her head slightly and asked, "General, when will you and the Ningzhou Army advance eastward?" ”

"About ten days later."

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "I have studied the map in detail in the past two days, Brother Mu can be called dangerous along the way, that is, Suizhou and Luzhou, during this time, Brother Mu also sent people to explore along the way, I don't know if there is any way to deal with it?" ”

"Go back to the general."

Mu Ying bowed and said: "The last general has already sent someone to check, there are less than 10,000 defenders in Suizhou, as long as we go east, they estimate that they will not dare to defend it, as for Luzhou, there are about twenty or thirty thousand people, it will be a little more troublesome, but Hou Ye allowed the last general to bring twenty boxes of firearms, and the last general is sure to reproduce the situation of Xiangyang City and take Luzhou within three days." ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "I will greet the weapons department here in Xiangyang, and all firearms will be supplied to Brother Mu first, and Brother Mu will not have any worries." ”

Mu Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, he patted his chest vigorously, and said: "The last general can promise the general that in three months at most, the last general will definitely drive the Hanzhou army to the capital!" ”

"Then according to what Brother Mu said."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Within three months, the Southwest Army drove to the capital."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhao Jia and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that at this speed, Brother You'an's supply can't keep up." ”

"It's a little difficult."

Zhao Jia frowned and said: "At such a long distance, the grain is not very lucky, and the subordinates mean that our Southwest Army can collect grain on the spot in the locality, whether it is to spend money to buy it, or to make up for it later, we must ensure that the military food is sufficient." ”

Li Xin turned his head and smiled at Mu Ying.

"Did you hear that, what Brother You'an meant, you can borrow anything as you like, and he will finish it later."

Since the formation of the Southwest Army, one of the most basic iron rules is that after entering the city, the people must not be disturbed, let alone rob the people's food, otherwise with the speed of the Southwest Army's siege of the city, there is no need to even bring military rations, and the war can be fed by war.

Mu Ying grinned: "With Mr. You'an's words, I'm a lot more down-to-earth here." ”

Li Xin and Mu Ying said a few more words, then looked back at Zhao Jia and asked, "When will Brother You'an go back to Jincheng?" ”

Jincheng is the core of the southwest and the economic lifeline of the southwest army, so even if the southwest army has already raised troops, Zhao Jia still can't leave the southwest at will, he still has to be his economic envoy in Jincheng to maintain the orderly operation of the southwest.

"Go back to the general, and your subordinates will leave for Jincheng the day after tomorrow."

"It's better for you to go back as soon as possible."

Li Xin said slowly: "With you in Jincheng, I will feel much more relieved." ”

"The general has won the prize."

The three of them said a few more words, the army had reached the time to march, Mu Ying clasped his fists at Li Xin and Zhao Jia and saluted, turned around and rode a horse, led the 50,000 Hanzhou army, and slowly left Xiangyang City.

Li Xin and Zhao Jia returned to the city tower from the city gate, looking at the back of the Hanzhou army in the distance, General Li frowned slightly.

"Brother You'an, do you think the Hanzhou Army can drive to Gyeonggi smoothly?"

"Most of the time there will be some bumps, but it's not a big problem."

Zhao Jia smiled: "If the general gives the Hanzhou army full ration of firearms, don't say Mu Ying, even if it is a subordinate to me, most of them can fight in the area of the capital." ”

"With Brother You'an's words, I feel much more relieved."

Li Xin smiled.

"Calculate the time, and it won't be long before the court will send a document condemning me as a thief."

He looked at Zhao Jia and said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will be white, and I will have to take care of the adults a lot." ”

Zhao Jiahan said with a smile: "It's hard to say who will be the thief in the future." ”

While the two of them were talking, a person from the dark department hurried over, and after handing over a document in Li Xin's hand, he respectfully turned around and left.

General Li looked at the paperwork in his hand and laughed at himself.

"When did the efficiency of the imperial court become so fast?"

He opened the paperwork and took a general look, and his face was a little unpleasant.

Zhao Jia noticed that his face was wrong, and asked, "General, what's wrong?" ”

Li Xin frowned slightly.

"Ji Ying is dead."
