After a war, both sides needed a quit. The imperial court ushered in another great defeat and further countermeasures were needed. The Southwest Army also needed rest and transported more firearms to the market.

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

During this period, Zhao Fang had been busy in areas controlled by the Southwest Army, lobbying those great scholars who spoke effectively and had the right to speak, or local celebrities. After receiving the call from Li Xin, he rushed from Luzhou to the Ningzhou Army Camp overnight, and waited at the door of Li Xin's commando the next morning.

After Li Xin woke up, Zhao Fang, whose eyes were covered in blood, bowed and bowed to Li Xin and bowed: "General, what's the matter with the subordinates?"

Li Xin first glanced at him, then said, "Thank you for your hard work, come back overnight and talk."

Zhao Fang bent down and followed Li Xin into the patriarch's tent. At this time, the only two of them were in the patriarch's tent. After Li Xin sat down, he asked, "What's the matter left to you to do?"

"Return to the General."

Zhao Fang said in a deep voice: "The progress went quite smoothly, especially after our Southwest Army defeated the Xiang Army and the Imperial Army of the Gyeonggi, many people have written letters to their subordinates, clearly stating that they would stand on our side. Some of them were impatient and had already started to write hymns to the Sixth Prince."

Li Xin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let them write it out as soon as possible. Now the Southwest Army needs them to build momentum."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "Can you... be able to separate yourself? There is another thing you need to come forward to do."

Zhao Fang lowered his head and said, "The General gave him the order."

Li Xin slowly spoke: "I want you to go to the capital to meet an old friend on my behalf, but the matter of creating momentum is more important. If you can't separate yourself, I'll find someone else to do it."

Zhao Fang also frowned and smiled bitterly: "Originally, the general spoke, and his subordinates should be dealing with the general's affairs, but celebrities from all over the country need to contact him, and I'm afraid they will not be able to escape for a while..."

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

"Forget it."

Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Since you are busy, I'll find someone else to do it. What you are doing now is more important. Contact those literati and build up the momentum of the Sixth Prince's entry into Beijing. We must tell the people of the world that our Southwest Army is a royal army that respects the king and fights against thieves."

"yes."

Zhao Fang bowed and said, "I understand that after this victory of the Southwest Army, it won't take long to see the wind direction in the south of the Yangtze River."

"The great general is expected."

Li Xin didn't say anything, and then told Zhao Fang a few more words, so he asked him to leave. After Zhao Fang left, Li Xin sat in the tent and pondered for a long time before finally making up his mind and ordered the guard beside him: "Go and say hello to Shiliu and ask him to call Zhao Yi to me."

This personal guard was used by Li Xin to contact the Anmen, and immediately lowered his head when he heard this: "Subordinate obeys the order."

This time, although Zhao Jia was in charge of the rear, his son Zhao Yi was taken by Li Xin and was responsible for contacting military information. Because it was not far from the Ningzhou Army Camp, not long after, Zhao Yi, dressed in gray clothes, entered Li Xin's handsome tent.

He knelt in front of Li Xin, kowtowed and said, "I have seen my adopted father, why should I call my child?"

Li Xin reached out to help him up and smiled bitterly: "There is something quite dangerous. I want you to do it, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."

Zhao Fang is already an adult and has a stable job. Li Xin was still relieved to ask the Anmen to send him to the capital, but Zhao Yi is still a 16-year-old boy and Zhao Jia's eldest son. Li Xin was still hesitant in his heart when he asked him to go to Beijing instead of him.

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said respectfully: "What's wrong with the adoptive father? Even if he is told, the father asked the child to follow his adoptive father, in order to share his worries."

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

Zhao Yi lowered his head and said, "The adoptive father told me that the child should do whatever he wanted, but now the capital is closed, how can the child get in..."

"Although the capital is closed now, only the Xicheng Gate cannot enter. The other city gates will be opened for a period of time every day. People entering and leaving and transporting materials will find a way to get you in."

"I will ask your sixteenth uncle to arrange for you about what I asked you to say to that person."

Speaking of this, Li Xin frowned and said, "The capital is quite dangerous now. You may be killed after entering. You have to think clearly whether you want to go in or not. We are our own family. If you don't agree, I will not force you to do it."

Zhao Yi did not hesitate too much and smiled at Li Xin: "I often heard my father mention the story of his rebel father in recent years. The adopted father was sixteen or seventeen years old, and he almost died in the capital several times. My child is sixteen this year. How can't he do something for his adoptive father?"

"The boy is willing to go."

He lowered his head and said, "As for my father, you don't have to worry. The child will leave a letter to his father before entering Beijing. This is because the child is willing to do nothing to do with his adoptive father."

Li Xin shook his head.

"I'm not afraid of taking responsibility, I'm afraid that something will happen to you. If it weren't for the confidentiality of this matter, I wouldn't have let you, a child, take risks."

"The boy understands."

Zhao Yi agreed very simply. Li Xin sighed, pulled him to sit down in the coach's tent, and told Zhao Yi what he wanted to say after entering Beijing. Although Zhao Yi did not have the ability of his father Zhao Jia to remember everything at a glance, he was also very smart. After listening to it, he roughly said what Li Xin wanted to say.

After saying that, Li Xin took out a seal from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jia: "After seeing that person, show him this thing, he will know that I sent you."

Zhao Yi put the seal in his arms and lowered his head and said, "I understand."

The victorious Southwest Army rested outside the city, but the imperial guards in the capital were filled with sorrow. The imperial guards of the wing army attacked the Southwest Army, but were easily resolved by the Southwest Army. At the same time, they won four Zhechong Mansions in the head-on collision, resulting in the imperial guards losing more than 20,000 soldiers.

This defeat not only led to chaos in the court, but even the officials and men in the Weiyang Palace were quarreling together. Many civil officials were angry and shouted that they would dismiss the chief general of the imperial guard Zhong Xuantong and replace the chief general of the imperial guard.

The Zhong family army had a very transcendent status in the Jin court. No one dared to say that the Zhong family was not right. However, this time, someone had already pointed the flames on the Zhong family, which showed that something was wrong in the capital.

In response to this, General Zhong did not even come to Weiyang Palace, but kept leading the imperial guards near the Western City Wall.

The emperor, who was in power, did not make any statement about this and allowed these civil servants to argue.

Just when the men in the court were having a verbal battle, Zhao Yi, who disguised himself as a vegetable farmer, successfully entered the capital under the operation of the dark army.

All the yards in the capital were already martial law at this time, but Li Xin was in the capital and was very powerful. Many people in the capital's secret ministry had a low status. Zhao Yi successfully entered Liushufang.

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

Zhao Yi walked up and bowed his head to salute.
