The relationship between the Pingnan Army and the remnants of Nanshu is so complicated that even they can't tell who owes whom, or who helped whom.

These things in the southwest will be passed on to future generations, and most of them will leave these words in the history books.

The Pingnan Army has been entrenched in the southwest for more than 30 years and is suspected of colluding with the remnants of the old Southern Han Dynasty.

And now these 100,000 remnants of Nanshu, if there is no accident, they are not even qualified to enter the history books.

But now they have.

This "righteous army" in Li Xin's mouth, as long as it can get out of the city of Hanzhou, will become a strong stroke in the Taikang period of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, and it may be worth dozens of words written by historians in later generations.

After the cruel words, Mu Ying took people back to Mu's house in Hanzhou City.

In the Mu family's house, Li Xing, the former highness, and Mu Qing, the head of the Mu family, were quietly waiting for Mu Ying to come back in the study.

After Mu Ying entered the house, she changed out of the armor on her body, changed into ordinary clothes, sat down under the two people, and said slowly: "Father, Your Highness, I have already told the people of the Pingnan Army that I will leave Hanzhou in three days." ”

Mu Qing nodded and did not speak.

His Royal Highness Li Xing, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Brother Mu really wants to lead the troops out of Hanzhou City in three days?" ”

"It doesn't have to be three days."

Mu Ying smiled: "Leading troops to fight, how can I say what is what, I am waiting for news from Mianzhu's side now, if there is news over there tomorrow, we will leave tomorrow, and if there is news in five days, we will leave in five days." ”

Li Xing was silent for a while, and finally glanced at Mu Ying deeply, and said: "Brother Mu, since this person has been handed over to you, I shouldn't ask again, there is no problem with you coming up with Hanzhou, but I don't think you can bring all the troops out." ”

He said in a deep voice: "There are still 100,000 of our ordinary people in Hanzhou, and there are still many orphans of the former Southern Han ministers in Hanzhou City, you have taken all the people away, although the momentum is huge, Li Shen and they may not be able to stop you, but if Pingnan military anger is vented and the city of Hanzhou is slaughtered, we will not have a single soldier left in Hanzhou, what can we do?" ”

To be honest, this kind of behavior of interjecting after handing over power is very unpleasant, but what Li Xing said is indeed the truth, Hanzhou is not far from the edge of Jincheng, if all the 50,000 "righteous army" go out, then the old Nanshu on the Hanzhou side will almost lose all its combat effectiveness, at that time, the Pingnan Army wants to settle accounts after the autumn, and Hanzhou City will immediately be bloody.

Mu Ying frowned, then first turned his head to look at his father, and seeing that his father did not react, he asked Li Xing, "What does Your Highness think you should do?" ”

"At least 20,000 people are left to guard the city of Hanju."

Li Xing said in a sullen voice: "Let's turn to Li Xin in order to survive, we can't put the cart before the horse, in order to survive, we must first corrupt our own foundation and clean it, right?" ”

Mu Ying's father was no longer silent at this time, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness is right, you can't take all of these 50,000 people away, you have to keep some people and leave us a little capital for self-protection." ”

These two people spoke together, but they weren't actually discussing with Mu Ying.

Although Mu Ying didn't have a lot of eyes, at this time, he also understood what tacit understanding this former highness had reached with his father when he was not in Hanzhou City, and he also nodded very honorably.

"Then according to His Highness, leave some people in Hanzhou."

"But 20,000 is too much."

Mu Ying lowered her eyebrows and said: "Our trip is to go to Mianzhu, Mianzhu is not too far from Hanzhou, leave 10,000 people to defend the city, if the Pingnan Army really wants to do this kind of thing, I will immediately return to the army to support, and then 10,000 defenders will be enough to support me when I come back." ”

Li Xing didn't agree immediately, he turned his head to look at Mu Qing, whose hair was a little gray, and bowed his head and said, "Uncle Mu Shi, what do you think?" ”

"Your Highness."

Mu Qing still has a lot of respect for Li Xing, he respectfully bowed his head and clenched his fists, and said: "The old man also thinks that keeping 10,000 people is enough, but more weapons should be left in Hanzhou." ”

"If the Pingnan Army really wants to fight Hanzhou, we have 10,000 people who can support it for a short time, plus we still have 100,000 old families of the old Southern Han Dynasty, if something happens to Hanzhou, as long as there are knives and guns, it is not a problem to pull another 10,000 or 20,000 people out temporarily."

Although Mu Qing has to take care of Li Xing's opinion, Mu Ying is his own son after all, and in the big question of right and wrong, Old Man Mu can still understand it.

The father and son said each other, and Li Xing had no choice, he could only sigh and get up and take a deep look at the father and son.

"The Li family is incompetent, lost the country and lost the land, and now there are only 100,000 households left in the old Han to survive, and their lives, Li Xing is no longer able to take care of them, so they are all entrusted to the virtuous father and son."

Mu Qing naturally refused to accept this kind of gift, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to support Li Xing.

"Your Highness, what are you doing? It's a ...... old man."

In contrast, Mu Ying was much calmer, he slowly stood up and made a gesture to Li Xing.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this time it is those of us who have lost the country who are betting in the bank, but the gamblers have become our Mu family from His Royal Highness, if the gamble is lost, the Mu family will bear the brunt and be willing to bear any responsibility."

Li Xing's face was serious, and he bowed and returned the salute.

"It's all up to the world."

After saying this, His Highness turned around and left the Mu family.

Mu Qing personally sent him out, and then returned to the study, at this time, Mu Ying, who was the "general", was still drinking tea with a calm face.

Mu Qing opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sat down dejectedly and sighed.

"After all, he is a clan, and he should be respected in front of him."

Mu Ying is a very filial son on weekdays, no matter what Mu Qing says, he nods and agrees, but this time it is a little different, he reached out and poured a cup of tea for Mu Qing, and then said word by word: "Dad, the Southern Han Dynasty died in the country... More than thirty years! ”

"It wasn't my grandfather who rescued His Royal Highness King Min from Jincheng, and the Li family clan has been wiped out."

For the first time, he looked directly at his father.

"According to my meaning, to give this highness a bite to eat, it is for the sake of the old lord's face, it is justified, but if he continues to ride on our necks and point fingers, my son will be a little blind."

Mu Qing glared.

"You can bring so many people with you now, it was given to you by His Royal Highness!"

"That was also given to His Royal Highness King Min by my grandfather."

Mu Ying said in a sullen voice: "Besides, this is not what he Li Xing gave me, it was the Marquis of Jing'an who personally talked to him, he Li Xing took us, the remnants of Nanshu, almost to a dead end, and finally reluctantly reined in the precipice, so he could only throw the reins to our Mu family, so that there is the current situation!" ”

"The son could have been a high-ranking official in the capital, and the horse had to ride, with the original credit, as long as he didn't rebel, it would not be a problem to be a third- or fourth-grade official when he was old."

"My son gave up his official position in the capital and took over this mess in his hands Li Xing, because I am also from Nanshu, and I don't have too many complaints."

Speaking of this, the black-faced "General Mu" gritted his teeth.

"But after he Li Xing left it alone, he wanted to point fingers on the side, and that son couldn't bear it!"
