Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 1096 Kill

The next day, the Southwest Army sent a crusade letter to the capital. Li Shuo sent dozens of messengers to stand under the capital and yell at them, to the effect that the Gyeonggi Imperial Army was a coward and did not dare to go out of the city to fight the Southwest Army head-on. .

   The scolding of these messengers is quite unpleasant, and I wish I could scolded the ancestors of the Gyeonggi Guards for the eighteenth generation, and they were still in Mandarin mixed with a Bashu accent.

However, under the strong order of Chong Xuantong, the Imperial Guard still defended the city wall. No one left the city to fight. Many Tempered Guard soldiers plugged their ears with cloth strips to prevent themselves from hearing the slanderous words from the city. foul language.

In addition to making ordinary soldiers scold, the Southwest Army also wrote a formal official letter and sent it to the imperial court in the capital. The general content of this letter is that the sixth prince will soon enter the city and take the throne. If the capital does not open the city gate again Surrender, the Southwest Army will storm the capital three days later, and blood will inevitably flow away.

   This is both a gauntlet and a threatening letter.

   But it's time for the capital to surrender, and there is no reason for the capital to surrender. This letter was sent in just to remind the court that three days later, the Southwest Army will forcefully attack the capital.

The    letter was quickly delivered to Chong Xuantong. The old general frowned after reading the content of the letter, and then saw the bright red seal of the Southwest General at the end of the letter, and his frown deepened.

  The old general put away the letter and shook his head.

   "Li Changan is gloomy and reserved, how could he suddenly do such an arrogant and domineering act?"

   After he instructed the left and right to guard the city wall, he took the letter with him and entered the imperial city all the way, and then sent the letter to the emperor in the Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Yuan Zhao has not been in good spirits during this period of time. He often has trouble sleeping and sleeping, and has extremely dark circles on his face. After he took over the letter, he first read it, and then glanced at Chong Xuantong, He opened his mouth and asked, "What does the old general think, why did Li Ni suddenly send such an invitation to fight?"

   It has been more than two months since the Southwest Army troops were under the city. It stands to reason that even if the letter was sent, it should have been sent more than two months ago, not at this time.

Chong Xuantong bowed his head and said to the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, the old minister has thought about this all the way. With Li Xin's temperament, it is unlikely that he will do something completely useless, but the old minister really can't think of it. What's the use of a copy of the letter?"

   "If the Southwest Army is going to attack the capital after three days, then without telling the truth and giving the court a surprise attack, the effect will be much better. There is no reason to say hello to the court before the attack..."

   Emperor Yuan Zhao showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

   "It's been more than two months, and the Southwest Army has tried for so long, but they still can't shake the capital, and finally they are exhausted."

   "This letter is nothing more than a posturing, trying to scare the court."

   The emperor snorted and said, "If he really had the ability to storm the capital, he wouldn't dare to move for two months."

Chong Xuantong bowed his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the Yunzhou Army is on its way to help the capital, and it cannot be ruled out that Li Xin received this news and wants the last blog, no matter what Li Xin thinks, the imperial court will Just be fully prepared.”

   "This is natural."

The emperor said solemnly: "The left and right battalions of the forbidden army and the Ankang army of the Hanzhong army are all handed over to the old general for overall planning. If necessary, my three guards can also be handed over to the old general for command. If Li Ni really wants to force the capital, this After the wave, they should have come back in vain."

   Having said this, the emperor gritted his teeth and said, "My capital of the Jin Dynasty was blocked by Li Ni for two months. This shame will be remembered by the Ji family from generation to generation!"

   "One day, it must be returned to Li Ni!"

After two months of stalemate, the capital in the capital is no longer as frightened as it was two months ago. Even Emperor Yuan Zhao, who was in a state of panic two months ago, now has some self-confidence.

  Chong Xuantong felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he nodded and said, "What Your Majesty said is that the old minister will do his best to defend the capital."

  The emperor took a deep look at Chong Xuantong, and said with emotion: "The wind knows the grass, and the swaying knows the loyal ministers."

   "The old general was old and had been guarding the capital for several months. After General Zhongwu received the imperial decree, he rushed to King Qin in the capital non-stop. When it came to the critical moment, Fang Xian's family was loyal and loyal."

  Chong Xuantong lowered his head and said, "This is a matter within the family."

   Having said this, the old general sighed deeply: "It's just that once the Yunzhou army withdraws from Yunzhou, the northern border will no longer be able to resist the enemy, and Jiangbei may be trampled by the Xianbei barbarians..."

Emperor Yuan Zhao also frowned slightly, and then muttered: "This is all Li Ni's fault. I have treated the emperor for several generations as a kind of grace from the sky, but this person is still plotting to raise private soldiers, and his plot is not good. If he hadn't rebelled, The imperial court will not transfer the Yunzhou army back to the capital!"

   "If one of the people in Jiangbei died because of this, it was all killed by Li Ni!"

  Chong Xuantong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "No matter who is responsible at this time, it can't save the people of Jiangbei."

  The emperor said solemnly: "Old general, don't worry, my court already has Tianlei, and when the southwest rebels retreat, the court has Tianlei weapon, and it can easily take back Jiangbei."

The old general    sighed slightly and said solemnly, "I hope so."

  …

   Outside the capital city, in the Ningzhou army camp.

  Li Xin sat in the handsome tent, and opposite him, sat the tall Mu Ying.

   There was a table of side dishes and two pots of toasting wine in front of the two of them.

   At this time, Li Shuo, who was in charge of the main attack, was setting up the Ningzhou army. Obviously, there was no time. Only Mu Ying could sit down and have a few drinks with Li Xin.

   Mu Ying raised his glass, toasted Li Xin, and then said with a smile: "Why did the general remember to ask me for a drink today?"

  Li Xin had a cup with him, raised his head and drank it.

   "If I have nothing to do, I can't find you for a drink?"

  Mu Ying grinned: "Of course, you can come to me whenever the general wants to drink."

   Li Xin lowered his head and drank another glass of wine, then glanced at Mu Ying and frowned: "Brother Mu, say, if we enter the capital..."

   Having said that, Li Xin shook his head and frowned even more deeply.

   "Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's drink."

Mu Ying raised his glass and touched Li Xin, the black-faced general looked up at Li Xin and said quietly, "The general doesn't need to think so much, if he really enters the capital, he will kill all the people who should be killed. If you kill it, the general can't make a move, and we people can go and take the blame for the general."

   He smiled: "I know what the general is worried about. If the madam asks me, Mu Ying will kneel in front of the madam to plead guilty."

   Li Xin frowned deeply, and finally let out a breath.

   "Forget it, you haven't entered Beijing, so don't make trouble for yourself."

   Li Xin's eyes became firm, with a faint murderous aura.

   "It won't be too late to think about these things after we enter the capital."

  Before he and Mu Ying, the relationship between friends was bigger than the relationship between superiors and subordinates. The two exchanged cups. Because they were drinking old Zhurong wine, General Li's cheeks soon flushed.

   He picked up the glass, raised his head and drank it, his voice low.

   "Brother Mu is right."

   "Kill it if you deserve it."
