The accidental arrest of Hou Jingde was only an episode beyond Li Xin's expectations. Li Xin simply comforted him a few words and asked the doctor in Luzhou to treat this old friend with good health. Then he got up and left, returned to his house in Luzhou to handle military affairs.

Although Li Shuo is in charge of the Southwest Army on the front line, Li Xin took all military affairs into the General's Mansion as early as the southwest. As long as the entire Southwest Army involves matters of the lieutenant or above, everything will be sent to the General's Mansion. Then, the staff team at the General's Mansion will handle it and select important things and hand them on Li Xin's desk.

Every day, Li Xin needs to spend about one to two hours dealing with these military affairs. Fortunately, he was from a military army and brought soldiers very early. These things were quite familiar to him and there was no too much pressure.

The reason why he took these things to himself was not that Li Xin was tyrannical, but that at this moment, he had to hold all his power in his hands, otherwise the Southwest Army would disintegrate itself before major events could be resolved.

After handling the day's errand, Li Xin stretched and walked out of his study. As soon as he went out, he saw Mu Ying wearing a single dress, waiting at the door.

At this time, Mu Ying and the Hanzhou Army were resting in Luzhou, and General Mu had nothing to do. He was a person who couldn't rest, so he often came to Li Xin to drink.

Li Xin frowned slightly: "Brother Mu came and asked me to say hello, why are you just waiting here?"

"There is no big deal, and I dare not disturb the general's handling of military affairs."

Mu Hei-faced smiled and said, "I'm just free and come to find the general to drink."

Li Xin glanced at the guy and said helplessly: "On weekdays, I always drink at night, so why did you come over to find me to drink at noon? After all, did you encounter something?"

"It's not a big deal."

Mu Ying paused and said with a wry smile: "It was just that someone from the court had contacted me privately yesterday and I drove me back. Last night, I didn't sleep for half a night. After thinking about it, I still had to say hello to the general, otherwise someone would say that I, Mu Ying, had an affair with the court in the future."

The two of them said while walking, Li Xin walked in front of Mu Ying, and looked back at the guy after hearing this, and said with some amusement: "At present, the generals in the Southwest Army have been more or less contacted by people from the court. Isn't it normal for you to contact General Mu with a high official and generous salary?"

The foundation of both sides is there. After all, the Great Jin court has been established for more than 100 years. He may not be willing to be a rebel if he is allowed to be an official in the court. Therefore, in this regard, many generals in the southwest were infiltrated by the court with great profits, so that before the Southwest Army set out to fight, nearly 10% of the people became the inner supporters of the court.

Because of the urgent situation, the court was even more generous to the top leaders of the Southwest Army. Li Shuo reported to Li Xin more than a month ago. The court had contacted him in private and the title he promised was higher than that of Li Xin in the court.

Li Xin asked with a smile: "I don't know what reward the imperial court promised General Mu?"

Mu Ying coughed and grinned: "It is much higher than your title in the court, General."

Li Xin laughed in silence: "Duke?"

Mu Ying shook her head and whispered: "The king is the king who has been hereditary."

“So generous.”

General Li showed a sarcastic look on his face and said, "My army fought north to Yandu for seven or eight years, and almost died and died more than ten times. In the end, he was just a duke. When you General Mu, you would be a king."

"It's still you, General Mu, have a big face."

Mu Ying's face turned slightly red and she smiled awkwardly: "What the general said? How can I compare with Marshal Ye? What I mean is that if the court can contact me privately, it will be able to contact most of the Southwest Army. The general must be prevented in this regard and cannot take advantage of loopholes for the people of the court..."

“Not to be prevented.”

Li Xin frowned slightly and said, "It's like doing business. They are a century-old store. We are still a new store. Of course, we believe more than what we believe in. The errands in their store are more expensive than the errands in our store."

"But it doesn't matter."

General Li said quietly: "As long as we can continue to win on the battlefield, no matter how many people there are in the Southwest Army, they will be the most loyal soldiers in the Southwest in the end."

"Human nature is like this, there is no need to make a fuss."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at the sky and said lightly: "According to the time I discussed with Li Shuo, they will officially attack the capital tomorrow."

Mu Ying lowered his head slightly and looked serious: "General, can I have any help from my Hanzhou army?"

"Prepare to pick up the meeting."

Li Xin looked calm and said, "I can't see what the court's attitude would be when facing our firearm attack? If the imperial guards in the capital are in full swing, Li Shuo can only retreat. You can take the people and take them at any time."

After Emperor Wu unified the world, the capital became the center of the world. Therefore, from Emperor Wu to Emperor Chengde, the capital city walls were rebuilt. The capital city in front of him can be regarded as the most solid city wall in the world.

If Li Xin had artillery, he could try to use artillery to attack the city, but if there were only earth bombs, it would be undoubtedly a fantasy to use a throwing car to explode the city walls of the capital.

Therefore, attacking the capital is not a matter of one day or one night, and you cannot start completely from the outside, but you must also break from the inside of the capital. Among them, the sixth prince has great information to do, which is also Li Xin spent his time to get Ji Ying from Shanyin.

Mu Ying bowed and said that.

"I'll go and prepare."

Before Mu Ying could walk far away, a servant from the General's Mansion walked over with small steps and whispered to Li Xin: "General, General Li Shuo has heard news that the court has sent envoys to see you."

“See you.”

Li Xin shook his head without hesitation and said in a muffled voice: "Hasn't Senior Brother Ye come here? Senior Brother Ye hasn't even agreed with me. What's the use of others?"

The servant bowed his head and said, "General, the news from Ningzhou Army said that the envoy was an old man, his surname was Gongyang..."

Li Xin was about to turn around and go back to the house, but immediately stopped hearing this.

Gong Yang Shu... If I remember correctly, this old man is over 80 years old this year and can still withstand such troubles.

Gong Yang Shu was the prime minister during the Chengde Dynasty, and in the Taikang Dynasty, he was the prime minister for about ten years. In terms of age, they were all Li Xin's elders.

More importantly, this old man was the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The dynasty era of Zhuxia was not as understood by later generations. The imperial power was high and ignored all rules. Everyone had to crawl on the ground when facing the imperial power.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, in most dynasties, the power of the dynasty was checks and balanced with the power of the monarch and the minister. In other words, when an official reaches the level of prime minister, he can already make the decision for the country in a sense.

Moreover, this old man, the prime ministers and his disciples and officials of the three dynasties, may have been spread all over the Jin Dynasty, and he has a strong voice in the court.

Li Xin hesitated for a moment before speaking.
