Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 1004

   Chapter 1004 Borrow something

As Li Xin said, winning the Jimen Pass would also seriously damage Yuwen’s strength, especially Yuwenzhao’s headquarters, which damaged a lot of young people. Therefore, Yuwenzhao had to stop in Jizhou City for a period of time. , One is to slowly digest the spoils, and the other is to rectify the internal problems of the clan, and the other three clans cannot be allowed to take advantage of the weakness of the king’s tent.

   Li Xin, who was in Yancheng, led two people from Zhechong to sneak out of Yancheng at night after preparing for more than half a month for nearly a month.

The large-scale personnel transfer will definitely attract the attention of the Yuwen Department, so Li Xin acted very carefully. The two Zhechong houses together had about 25,000 people, divided into more than 20 batches, and spent three full nights. , only sneaked out of Yancheng.

At this time, most of the Yuwen Department’s energy is still on digesting Jizhou and solving internal problems. Although there are their scouts near Yancheng, the intensity is not very high. In addition, Li Xin’s actions are very careful. The palace gods left Yancheng unknowingly.

He took a total of four Zhechong houses from the capital to the north, but these four Zhechong houses could not be taken away, and part of them had to be left to guard Yancheng. Yancheng was one of the most important cities in the North, and it was also the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the pass, they will definitely think about going south, but they still want to take back the city of Yan. The city was tall and was once the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Even when Ye Sheng broke the city, it was filled with human life. As long as 20,000 to 30,000 people were left to defend the city, it would be possible to keep the Xianbei people out for a long time.

   In addition, there is a seasoned veteran like Wang Dun stationed in Yancheng, there is no problem in a short time.

Li Xin and Ye Mao, with two Zhechong manpower, ran all the way in the direction of due west by north. Most of these two Zhechong mansions were foot soldiers, and they ran all the way for more than 20 days. After that, they finally arrived at their destination.

   In front of him, is also a city.

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

   Yunzhou City.

  The northern border of Dajin is probably a line connecting the two states of Youyun. The gateway to Youzhou is Jimen Pass, and the gateway to Yunzhou is Yunzhou City.

When Ye Sheng broke through the Northern Zhou Dynasty and returned to court, Emperor Wu sent the Chong family to rush to the current location in Yunzhou City. The Chong family gathered 100,000 people. It only took three months to build such a border town. For more than 40 years now, Yunzhou City has always been solid, and three generations of family members have worked hard to guard here.

When Li Xin was young, he came to Yunzhou City to send things. He still had some impressions of this place. When he was about to get under the city wall of Yunzhou City, Li Xin waved and ordered two soldiers and horses from Zhechong House to camp on the spot, while he They followed Ye Mao and led dozens of personal guards towards Yunzhou City.

  It is worth mentioning that although Yu Linwei has been left behind by Li Xin, Xie Dai, as the supervisor, still works hard by Li Xin’s side, and is almost inseparable.

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

After more than a month, Ye Mao’s mood has been adjusted a lot at this time. He walked behind Li Xin, first glanced at Li Xin’s expression, and then asked, “Uncle… still worried about your brother-in-law. ?”

Li Xin’s brother-in-law… Zhao Fang, rushed back from Yongzhou to Jizhou 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 it, but it didn’t take long for Jizhou city to break down The city was over, all the wounded were scattered, and Zhao Fang also disappeared. It has been almost two months now, and there is no news at all.

   Li Xin frowned and said, “It was he who had to come to Jizhou himself, or even if he died, he asked for it himself.”

   “Just suffering for my sister.”

   When Zhao Fang was mentioned, his mood became even more annoyed, and he snorted: “If I knew today, I shouldn’t have married Xiaoxiao!”

   The time they were talking, they had already arrived at the base of Yunzhou City. The Yunzhou army guards who were guarding the gate looked at the armors on Li Xin and Ye Mao, and after confirming their identities, they immediately bowed to them and saluted.

   “The two generals will come later, and the younger one will inform General Chong.”

   There was a lot of war at Jimen Pass, and there was a scene of hell, but this side of Yunzhou City was quite peaceful.

Li Xin and Ye Mao were both prominent figures in the imperial court, especially the Dajin military. When the two of them arrived, the Chong family naturally did not dare to neglect them. It didn’t take long for the Chong to wear only a blue cloth and no armor. The elder son, Chong Wu, rushed out and bowed to the two of them: “I have seen Mrs. Li, Duke Ye.”

Chong Xuantong, the chief of the Clan family, has returned to Beijing to retire. Now the military affairs of Yunzhou City are all taken care of by Chong Wu, except that he does not inherit the title of Chong Clan. This young master is already a reality. The owner of the house.

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

Both Li Xin and Ye Mao bowed their heads and returned the salute. After the greeting was over, Chong Wu hurriedly invited the two of them into the Chong Mansion in the city to sit down. As soon as the tea was served, Chong Wu asked, “I heard… The city on the other side of the city has 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 and took a sip of tea, then said, “Come and borrow a word from General Chong.”

There are two ways to enter and exit the gate in the north, one is naturally the broken Jimen Pass, and the second is this Yunzhou City. They can only go to Yunzhou City.

  Chongwu’s face changed slightly, and he asked, “Ye Guogong went out of the customs…for?”

This time Ye Mao didn’t answer, but Li Xin said in a deep voice: “General Chong is also a general, and he has been at the border for many years, so he should know how powerful the Xianbei people are. Now that the Jimen Pass has been broken, I can’t stop him from going south, so I have no choice but to Get out of Yunzhou City and give him a bottom-up salary.”

Chong Wu frowned and said: “Taifu, your idea is not a problem, but if you are on the grassland, the young children of the Xianbei people may have better equestrian skills than my soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty. If you go out like this, the risk is too great. already.”

   “The risk is naturally our own.”

   Li Xin said with a smile: “General Thong just open the door for us and let us go out.”

  Chongwu lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked, “Dare to ask Taifu, how many men and horses did you bring?”

  Li Xin’s face was calm.

   “The two Zhechong houses with the Imperial Army, a total of more than 24,000 people.”

  Chongwu said with a wry smile: “Excuse me to say bluntly, if more than 20,000 people leave the customs, I’m afraid it won’t help much. More than 20,000 people may not even be able to take down the weakest beggars in the Yuwen clan.”

   Li Xin chuckled: “Don’t worry, General Chong, I, Lord Ye Guogong, have already negotiated a specific plan, as long as Yunzhou City lends the way.”

   Having said this, Li Xin paused, and then continued: “But in addition to borrowing, I would take the liberty to borrow something else from General Chong.”

  Chongwu said: “Although Taifu said that, if there is anything that can be helped, the Zhong family will definitely want to help.”

   “It’s easy to deal with the words of a general.”

   Li Xin smiled and said, “I want to borrow the more than 10,000 horses from Yunzhou City.”

   As soon as these words came out, Zhong Wu, who was originally respectful, immediately turned black.

   This is too presumptuous…
