After a big battle, both sides need a truce for a while. The imperial court side ushered in another big defeat, and further countermeasures need to be discussed, and the southwest army side also needs to rest and recuperate, and at the same time transport more firearms over.

The Ningzhou army was still cleaning the battlefield outside, and Li Xin, who was in the handsome tent, called his sister-in-law Zhao Fang over.

During this time, Zhao Fang has been busy in the area controlled by the Southwest Army, lobbying those Shilin Confucians who speak effectively and have the right to speak, or local celebrities, after receiving Li Xin's call, he rushed from Luzhou to the Ningzhou military camp overnight, and waited at the door of Li Xin's tent the next morning.

After Li Xin woke up, Zhao Fang, whose eyes were bloodshot, bowed down and walked in, bowing his head to Li Xin and saluting: "General, what is the matter with calling his subordinates?" ”

Li Xin first glanced at him, and then said, "You rushed back overnight to come back and talk." ”

Zhao Fang bowed down and followed Li Xin into the handsome tent, at this time there were only two of them in the handsome tent, after Li Xin sat down, he asked, "How did you do the things that were handed over to you?" ”

"Go back to the general."

Zhao Fang said in a deep voice: "It went quite smoothly, especially after our Southwest Army broke the Xiang Army and the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army this time, many people have written letters to their subordinates, making it clear that they will stand on our side, and those who are more anxious have begun to write eulogies to the six princes." ”

Li Xin nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then let them write it as soon as possible, now the Southwest Army needs them to build momentum." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "You...... Can you get separated? There is another thing that you need to do it. ”

Zhao Fang lowered his head and said, "The general's orders are yes." ”

Li Xin said slowly: "I want you to go to the capital and see an old man instead of me, but the matter of building momentum is more important, if you can't be separated, I will find someone else to do it." ”

Zhao Fang also frowned, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, the general spoke, and his subordinates should be concerned about the affairs of the general, but the celebrities from all over the country need to be contacted by their subordinates, and I am afraid that they will not be able to get out of the ...... for a while."

"If the matter in the capital is urgent, the subordinates can go to the capital first......"

"That's it."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Since you are busy, then I will find someone else to do it, what you are doing now is more important, contact those literati, build up the momentum of the six princes entering Beijing, and tell the people of the world that our southwest army is the king of the king and the thief." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Fang bowed and said: "My subordinates understand that after the victory of the Southwest Army this time, it won't be long before the wind direction in the south of the Yangtze River will fall to our Southwest Army." ”

"Great things can be expected for the general."

Li Xin didn't say anything, and after telling Zhao Fang a few words, he let him leave, after Zhao Fang left, Li Xin sat in the handsome tent and pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, and ordered to the guards beside him: "Go and say hello to Sixteen, and let him call Zhao Yi to me." ”

This personal guard was Li Xin who came to contact the dark department, and immediately bowed his head when he heard the words: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

This time, although Zhao Jia was sitting in the rear, his son Zhao Yi was taken by Li Xin's side and was responsible for contacting the military situation, because it was not far from the Ningzhou military camp, and it didn't take long for Zhao Yi, who was dressed in gray, to enter Li Xin's handsome tent.

He knelt in front of Li Xin, kowtowed, and said, "I've seen my father-in-law, what is the matter with my father-in-law calling the child?" ”

Li Xin stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a wry smile: "There is a rather dangerous thing that I want you to do, I don't know if you are willing to do it." ”

Zhao Fang is already an adult, and he is doing things safely, let the dark department send him into the capital, Li Xin is still very relieved, but Zhao Yi is still a sixteen-year-old boy, and he is Zhao Jia's eldest son, let him go to Beijing instead of himself, Li Xin is still a little hesitant.

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said respectfully: "What is the matter with the father-in-law, although the order is that the father let the child follow the father-in-law, just to share the worries of the father-in-law." ”

Li Xin nodded silently and said slowly: "I need you...... Take a trip to the capital for me and see someone. ”

Zhao Yi bowed his head and said: "My father-in-law commanded that the child should do it, but now that the capital is closed, how can the child get in......"

"Although the capital is closed now, only the west gate is completely inaccessible, and the other city gates will be open for a period of time every day, entering and exiting personnel and transporting materials, and the dark department in the capital will find a way to get you in."

"After you go in, I will ask your sixteenth uncle to arrange it for you, you just need to tell that person what I asked you to say."

Speaking of this, Li Xin frowned and said: "Now the capital is quite dangerous, you may be killed after you go in, you have to think clearly, whether you are willing to go in, we are our own family, if you don't agree, I won't force you to do it." ”

Zhao Yi didn't hesitate too much, looked up and smiled at Li Xin: "Over the years, I have often heard my father mention the story of my father-in-law, my father-in-law was sixteen or seventeen years old, and he almost died several times in the capital, and the child is also sixteen this year, why can't he do something for his father-in-law?" ”

"The boy is willing to go."

He bowed his head and said: "As for the father's side, you don't have to worry, the child will leave a book for his father before entering Beijing, this is the child's will, and it has nothing to do with the father-in-law." ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"I'm not afraid of responsibility, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, if it weren't for the fact that this matter is confidential, I wouldn't let this child put your life at risk."

"The child understands."

Zhao Yi agreed very simply, Li Xin sighed, pulled him to sit down in the handsome tent, and told Zhao Yi what he was going to say after entering Beijing, although Zhao Yi did not have his father Zhao Jia's ability to never forget ten lines at a glance, but he was also very smart, and after listening to it once, he roughly said what Li Xin was going to say.

After finishing speaking, Li Xin took out a seal letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jia: "After seeing that person, show him this thing, and he will know that you were sent by me." ”

Zhao Yi took the seal letter into his arms, bowed his head and said, "The child understands." ”

………………

The victorious Southwest Army rested outside the city, but the forbidden army in the capital was a gloomy fog, and the forbidden army of the Xiang Army attacked the Southwest Army on both sides, but it was easily resolved by the Southwest Army, and at the same time won four Zhichong Mansion in the frontal collision, resulting in the loss of more than 20,000 soldiers by the forbidden army.

This defeat not only led to great confusion among the people in the imperial court, but even the officials and lords in the Weiyang Palace quarreled, and many civil officials were furious, shouting that they would dismiss the chief general of the forbidden army, Chong Xuantong, and replace him with the chief general of the forbidden army.

In the Great Jin Dynasty, the status of the seed army is very detached, and generally no one dares to say that the seed family is not, but this time, someone has already lit the flame on the seed family, which shows that something is not quite right in the capital.

In this regard, the old general did not even come to Weiyang Palace, but has been near the western city wall, leading the forbidden army.

The Son of Heaven, who was high on the throne, did not express his position on this, and let these civil officials quarrel back and forth.

Just when the old men in the court were having a war of words, Zhao Yi, who was disguised as a vegetable farmer, successfully entered the capital under the operation of the dark department.

All the squares in the capital were already under martial law at this time, but Li Xin was in a high position in the capital back then, and many people in the dark department of the capital were not low, so Zhao Yi successfully entered the willow workshop.

In an inconspicuous alley in Willow Square, he met an equally inconspicuous old man.

Zhao Yi walked up and bowed his head and saluted.

"Junior Zhao Yi, I've seen General He."
