People are not as good as heaven, people in this world, nothing can be completely predicted, smart people should do what is improvised, not to predict the future.

Since the beginning of the year, when Li Xin came out of the capital, he has made a lot of plans for the southwest, but unfortunately, most of these plans have been abandoned or forced to change because of the changes in the times.

However, this did not affect Li Xin's initiative.

Mu Qing was in the county government of Fu County, and after talking to Li Xin in detail for a whole afternoon, he finally left Fu County in the evening, it stands to reason that he came from afar, Li Xin, as a junior, should also keep him for a day, but at this time, the time of the day is extremely urgent, so after Li Xin bent over Mu Qing, he let the current head of the Mu family leave.

After Mu Qing left, Li Xin found Zhao Jia as soon as possible.

At this time, the Marquis of Jing'an was no longer as calm and calm as before, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother You'an, you write a letter to Senior Brother Ye now, telling him that I will start attacking Mianzhu in ten days." ”

It takes time for Mu Qing to return to Hanzhou, and it also takes time for Mu Ying to prepare, so the two sides agreed to start in ten days, which is actually very rushed.

Ten days is enough time for Li Xin to notify Ye Ming's side, so that when the real fight starts, Ye Ming can pay attention to the movements of the Sword Pavilion at any time to make countermeasures.

Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin, was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "Master Hou, is it a bit hasty to decide to attack Mianzhu now?" ”

"It's too late to think about it."

Li Xin's tone was firm.

"At this time, the situation in the southwest can be easily solved, if we hesitate any longer, we may really be dragged to death by the Pingnan Army in this southwest hinterland."

Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said: "But according to Hou Ye, it should be the Pingnan Army that should be anxious at this time, not us." ”

"That should be the situation after we take Mianzhu."

"Occupy Mianzhu, the Pingnan Army will have no room to move, and when the time comes, we can sit comfortably on the upper floor of Mianzhu City and watch his house collapse, but Fucheng can't."

"Fucheng is too small."

Jing'anhou gritted his teeth and said: "After entering Mianzhu, we can advance and retreat, but here in Fucheng, this small city can't accommodate no room to defend the city, if we don't go out to fight others, we will be trapped in this small city." ”

Fucheng is just an ordinary city, not to mention the low city walls, and the city wall defense line is not too long, and more importantly, the quality of the city wall is not good.

But the quality of the city wall of Fucheng is better, and it will not be occupied by Li Xin's department in three days.

In any way, Fucheng is not a place to live for a long time, Li Xin either gritted his teeth and took Mianzhu, or he had to retreat and attack Jianmen Pass back and forth with Ye Ming's department, but the latter would inevitably be chased and killed by Jincheng's Pingnan military rank, so Li Xin resolutely chose the former.

Seeing that Li Xin was so resolute, Zhao Youan could only smile bitterly and began to write letters.

The content of the letter is very simple, anyway, Ye Ming has somewhat understood some of Li Xin's meaning, as long as he cooperates with the people who live in the Sword Pavilion and gives Li Xin some space to perform.

Zhao Jia is a clerical master, it didn't take long for a letter to be written, he showed Li Xin a look, and after seeing Li Xin nodding, he stuffed it into the envelope, turned around and handed it over to the scout battalion under his hand to send it to the Sword Pavilion.

After the letter was sent away, Zhao Jia glanced back at Li Xin, who was a little silent, and bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, do you have any plans to fight Mianzhu?" ”

"Not yet."

Li Xin squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "Brother You'an, don't worry, I have never been an adventurous person, let's fight Mianzhu this time, it can only be regarded as a feint attack in the general direction, and strive to create some opportunities for Hanzhou to come out, and when the remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou get out, let's join forces around Mianzhu again, and then we will win if we don't win." ”

Today's situation is actually very clear, Li Xin has to make a feint first to liberate Muying in Hanzhou, and then have a chance to completely take Mianzhu.

Zhao Jia found a map of Mianzhu, pointed to Mianzhu represented by a square on the map, and asked, "How should the feint attack be attacked?" ”

The Marquis of Jing'an lowered his eyebrows and said: "Ten days later, our army divided 5,000 people out of Fucheng and began to attack Mianzhu. ”

"We have a total of three Zhechong Mansions, each of which has 5,000 people, and each siege is rotated for seven days."

"After three rounds, these twenty days have passed."

Zhao Jia frowned and said, "If this is the case, you may not be able to deceive the Pingnan Army." ”

"So one of the three Zhechong Mansions is really going to fight Mianzhu."

At this time, Li Xin's expression was much more indifferent.

"Go to the siege with real knives and guns."

There is no way, if you don't really fight this kind of thing, no one will believe you, but Li Xin can't bear to decide which people to send to death, so he let his three Zhichong Mansions each send 5,000 people.

Zhao Jia understood what Li Xin meant, he took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Then how do you decide when to attack the city?" ”

"Naturally, it's to see the movement over there in Jincheng."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said: "I will send a few people to bypass Mianzhu and stare at Jincheng, let's feint to attack Mianzhu, Jincheng will definitely come to the rescue, and at the same time, Brother Mu will also make moves in Hanzhou, if the people from Jincheng come to Mianzhu, let's just pretend." ”

"If the people from Jincheng go to Hanzhou, we will really fight."

With that, Li Xin stood up from the main seat and pushed open the window.

The cold wind howled outside the window.

At this time, it has entered the lunar month, and there is less than a month to go, which is the New Year Festival of the second year of Taikang.

Zhao Jia stood silently behind Li Xin and sighed.

"No matter which Zhichong Mansion goes to attack the city, it is estimated that more than half of the people will come back."

"I'll make this clear to the three of them."

The Marquis of Jing'an's expression was resolute: "When you come out to fight, you originally wanted to die, but now if you are not willing to die, more than 40,000 of us may all die here." ”

Zhao Jia glanced deeply at Li Xin in front of him, and then sighed: "Master Hou has grown a lot more than before. ”

Li Xin turned his head, looked at Zhao Jia, and smiled: "Which aspect?" ”

"Don't treat human life as human life."

Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said: "This is the common denominator of all the big people, and Lord Hou now has the atmosphere to guide the people in the world." ”

"Less sycophants."

Li Xin scolded with a smile: "What kind of bullshit is pointing out the grandeur of the common people? ”

"I still regard human life as human life, and the thirty-nine brothers who died in Xiao Chenji back then are still a knot in my heart, but I have figured out some things now."

Li Xin looked at the night outside and sighed.

"In the past, I also thought that those who were on top of the world only regarded human life as a number, but now it seems that this is not necessarily the case."

"Everyone is a living person, except for those princes and grandsons who grew up in the Gaomen compound, everyone has seen the people."

"There are very few people who really don't take human life seriously."

The Marquis of Jing'an exhaled a cold breath slightly.

"It's just that sometimes, some people are sacrificed in order to let more people live."
