Unparalleled Concubine

"At least half a month."

Ye Mao lowered his head and asked, "Uncle Master has a plan?"

Li Xin said slowly: "Since the third year of Taikang, I have been with Master Ye and consulted a lot about the northern border. Master Ye said that after passing Jimen Pass, the only way between the north and the south It will no longer exist, and the Xianbei tribe can have many ways to go south, so it is useless for us to guard Yancheng."

"Be proactive."

Li Xin looked at Ye Mao and said, "Of course, near Jizhou City, Yu Wenzhao still has at least [-] troops. If we go to attack Jizhou City now, we will seek our own death."

"I've thought of another way."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Ye Mao with a solemn expression: "Yu Wenzhao just took over Jizhou, and he himself has suffered a lot. It is estimated that he will have to recuperate for a few months or even wait until the spring of next year before he will take the next step. , We have a lot of time to prepare, I will give you a month, and within this month, I will hand over all four Zhechong mansions to you, and I only have one request, try to let all of them learn how to ride a horse."

"If it can be done, I will take you to avenge the Xianbei people."

There was a shortage of horses in the Jin Dynasty, so not everyone in the Gyeonggi Imperial Army knew how to ride a horse. Even among the ten members of the Habayashi Guards where Li Xin made his fortune, only one or two had ever ridden a horse.

Ye Mao stood up and cupped his fists respectfully towards Li Xin: "I will live up to my uncle's trust!"

Li Xin patted Ye Mao's shoulder again and sighed.

"Okay, you've been overtired these days, take a good rest, you're not the young man in your twenties anymore."

Ye Mao is a few years older than Li Xin, and he is 35-[-] years old this year.

And Li Xin himself, has already passed his thirties.

Ye Mao stood up, shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the yard and walked towards the outside of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Li Xin shook his head and didn't say much.

No need to guess, Ye Mao must have gone to train those Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

Chapter 1004 Borrowing Something

As Li Xin said, winning Jimen Pass would seriously damage the vitality of the Yuwen Department, especially Yu Wenzhao's head office, which lost a lot of young and strong people, so Yu Wenzhao had to stop in Jizhou City for a while First, slowly digest the loot, and second, we must rectify the internal problems of the tribe, so that the other three tribes cannot make any changes when the king's account is weak.

And Li Xin in Yancheng, after preparing for half a month or nearly a month, led two people from Zhechong Mansion and sneaked out of Yancheng at night.

A large-scale personnel transfer will definitely attract the attention of the Yuwen Department, so Li Xin is very careful in his actions. The two Zhechong mansions add up to about 5000 people, divided into more than 20 batches, and it took three full nights to complete the work. Sneaked out of Yancheng.

At this time, most of the Yuwen Department's energy is still digesting Jizhou and solving internal problems. Although there are also their scouts near Yancheng, the density is not very high. In addition, Li Xin's movements are very careful. The Fushen left Yancheng without anyone noticing.

He brought a total of four Zhechong Mansions from the capital to the north, but these four Zhechong Mansions cannot be taken away, and some of them must be left to guard Yancheng. Yancheng is one of the most important cities in the North and was also the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Of course they will think about going south after the pass, but they still want to take back Yancheng. The Yuwen Department is flexible. The city is tall, and it used to be the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Even when Ye Cheng broke the city, he used human lives to fill it up. As long as 3 or [-] people are left to guard the city, they can stop the Xianbei people for a long time.

Coupled with the fact that there is an experienced veteran like Wang Dun stationed in Yancheng, there is still no problem in a short time.

And Li Xin and Ye Mao, with two Zhechong Mansion men, ran all the way to the west and north. These two Zhechong Mansions were mostly infantry. After running all the way for more than 20 days , they finally arrived at their destination.

There is also a city in front of you.

The city walls of this city can only be said to be of a medium level, and the city pool is not particularly large, but its name is very resounding.

Yunzhou City.

The northern border of the Jin Dynasty is probably a line connecting the two prefectures of Youyun. The gate of Youzhou is Jimen Pass, and the gate of Yunzhou is Yunzhou City.

Back then when Ye Sheng defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty and returned to the dynasty after victory, Emperor Wu sent Zhong family to garrison at the current location of Yunzhou City. Now for more than 40 years, Yunzhou City has always been impenetrable, and three generations of family members have worked hard to guard it here.

When Li Xin was a teenager, he came to Yunzhou City to deliver things. He still had some impressions of this place. When he was about to reach the city wall of Yunzhou City, Li Xin waved his hands and ordered two soldiers from Zhechong Mansion to set up camp on the spot, while he He followed Ye Mao, led dozens of guards, and walked towards Yunzhou City.

It is worth mentioning that although Habayashi Wei has been left behind by Li Xin, Xie Dai, who is the supervisor of the army, still works tirelessly by Li Xin's side, almost inseparable.

Li Xin was dressed in black armor and walked in the front, with no expression on his face.

After more than a month, Ye Mao's mood has adjusted a lot at this time, he walked behind Li Xin, first glanced at Li Xin's expression, and then asked: "Uncle... who is still worried about you?" Brother-in-law?"

Li Xin's brother-in-law...Zhao Fang, rushed back to Jizhou from Yongzhou to defend the city, was shot in the shoulder by the enemy on the city wall, and was rescued by Wang Dun and took good care of him. The city was broken, all the wounded were dispersed, and Zhao Fang also disappeared. It has been almost two months now, and there is no news.

Li Xin frowned, and said, "He insisted on coming to Jizhou himself, even if he died, he asked for it."

"It's just suffering from my sister."

Mentioning Zhao Fang made him feel even more depressed, and he snorted: "If I had known today, I shouldn't have married Xiaoxiao to him!"

The time when the two people were talking, they had already reached the city of Yunzhou. The guards of the Yunzhou Army looked at the armor on Li Xin and Ye Mao, and after confirming their identities, they immediately bowed to them.

"The two major generals will be later, and the younger one will inform General Zhong."

There was a lot of war at Jimen Pass, and there was a scene of hell, but Yunzhou City was quite peaceful. The Yunzhou Army patrolled and guarded the city wall in an orderly manner, and it was peaceful.

Li Xin and Ye Mao are both top figures in the imperial court, especially in the Jin army. When the two of them arrived, the Zhong family naturally did not dare to neglect them. After a while, Zhong was only wearing blue cloth and no armor. The eldest son Zhongwu hurried out, and bowed to the two of them: "I have met Mrs. Li, Ye Guogong."

The eldest son of the Zhong family, Zhong Xuantong, has returned to Beijing for retirement. Now the military affairs of Yunzhou City are all handled by Zhongwu, except that he did not inherit the title of the Zhong family. The owner of the house.

Speaking of which, his son Zhong Heng and Li Xin have also dealt with each other.

Both Li Xin and Ye Mao bowed their heads to return the salute. After finishing the courtesies, Chong Wu hurriedly invited the two of them into the Zhong Mansion in the city to sit down. As soon as the tea was served, Chong Wu asked, "I heard... The city of Jizhou has already been broken, and the situation is very bad, the two of you are not near Jizhou at this time, but you are in Yunzhou... I don’t know?”

Ye Mao lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and said, "Come here to borrow a word from General Zhong."

There are two roads in and out of Beidi. One is naturally the broken Jimen Pass, and the second is this Yunzhou City. They can only go to Yunzhou City.

Zhong Wu's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Mr. Ye Guo left the customs...for?"

This time Ye Mao didn't reply, but Li Xin said in a deep voice: "General Zhong is also from the general family, and he has been in the border gate for many years. He should know how powerful the Xianbei people are. Now that Jimen Gate has been broken, we can't stop him from continuing to go south, so we have to Get out of Yunzhou City and give him a bottom line."

Chong Wu frowned and said: "Teacher, you have no problem with this idea, but when it comes to the grasslands, the young children of the Xianbei may even surpass my soldiers in the Jin Dynasty in equestrian skills. It is too risky for you to go out like this. gone."

"The risk is naturally at our own risk."

Li Xin said with a smile: "General Zhong just needs to open the door for us and let us go out."

Zhong Wu lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Dare to ask the Grand Tutor, how many troops... have you brought?"

Li Xin looked calm.

"Two Zhechong mansions with the forbidden army, a total of more than [-] people."

Chong Wu smiled wryly and said: "Excuse me for your blunt words. If more than 2 people go out, I'm afraid it won't be of much use. With more than 2 people, they may not even be able to take down the Qigui Department, which is the weakest in the Yuwen Department."

Li Xin chuckled: "Don't worry, General Zhong, I, Ye Guogong, have already discussed a specific strategy, as long as Yunzhou City lends a way."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: "But besides borrowing the way, I also have the liberty to borrow some other things from General Zhong."

Chong Wu said: "Even if Tai Tuo said yes, if there is anything to help, the Chong family will definitely want to help."
