It is impossible to fight hard. If he can fight hard, Li Xin would not have to travel thousands of miles to the southwest at all. However, General Mu's cavalry suffered heavy losses and was quite annoyed at this time. He just wanted to take this opportunity to vent his anger in his heart.

After these thousands of people left the city, Li Xin and others were quickly taken into Hanzhou City. After returning to Hanzhou City, Marquis Jing'an, who had already had his arms ache, first asked Mu Qing to settle Lin Hu and others. Then he moved a chair and sat on the Cheng Tower in Hanzhou City, watching the battle under the city from afar.

Although Mu Ying was very angry, fortunately he maintained a considerable degree of rationality. From Yin to around Chen, Mu Ying decisively withdrew his troops, and thousands of people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, slowly retreating into Hanzhou City.

After returning to the city, Mu Ying had no time to rest, but she still climbed up the city tower in iron armor and sat next to Li Xin.

"It's a terrible loss."

He gritted his teeth and said, "I have been raising cavalry for three years and have lost most of the time. Now I feel like I'm bleeding!"

Li Xin had almost rested now. He reached out and patted Mu Ying on the shoulder and said slowly: "I didn't think about it this time. If they were asked to enter the city one hour later, Pei Jin's reaction would not be so great."

Mu Ying sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and then he looked up at Li Xin.

"Marty, can these people in your hometown turn the situation around?"

Li Xin's face was calm and he said slowly: "I know you have a lot of confusion in your heart, but in a few days, you will understand what I did today."

Mu Ying trusted Li Xin very much. He heard this and nodded, stopped asking this question, and said, "This time, Pei Jin's reaction was too great. That night, he gathered at least 10,000 or 20,000 people to surround us. I just led my troops out of the city, and there were nearly 10,000 people in front of me!"

"Did this guy bury spies in my Hanzhou city? I knew we were going out of the city early and set up an ambush early?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and finally shook his head slowly.

"I can't figure it out, either."

"But today's affairs have been quite ups and downs, but they have been smooth. Next, we just need to wait quietly and General Pei will come to attack the city."

Mu Ying worked hard all night and finally could relax. He lay flat on the ground without any image, reached out to wipe the blood from his forehead with his sleeve, tilted his head and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Damn, I am also an official in the court and have made merits for the emperor. In no way, I sent people to surround Hanzhou City and attack us!"

General Mu lost his cavalry and became more angry as he thought about it. He said angrily: "I used to think that when things happen in the southwest, I will go to the capital to be an official with Marquis and enjoy a few years of glory and wealth. Now, judging from Ji Laoqi's virtue, I will never go to the capital to do anything for their family!"

Li Xin sat on the chair and breathed a breath of white breath.

"You, have the same thoughts as your father."

Mu Ying lay on the ground and grinned.

"Mr. Marquis, don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to persuade Marquis to rebel, but the court's actions are so disappointing."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Don't worry, at most, after the New Year, I can make you feel angry."

Mu Ying's eyes lit up.

"real?"

Li Xin sat on the chair, smiling without answering.

……………………

In a blink of an eye, it has been seven or eight days since the last fight with the Hanzhou thief. During these seven or eight days, with the intentional arrangements, news about Hanzhou City has been spread one after another.

This includes the news that Hanzhou City is not short of food now.

There are also rumors that a high-ranking official from the court sent dozens of trucks of grain to Hanzhou City by way of traveling to Hanzhou City and sent it to Hanzhou City at night. With the original grain reserves of Hanzhou City, the food in Hanzhou City is now enough for the people of the whole city to eat and use for one or two years.

Pei Jin did not doubt that he had this news.

After all, he saw with his own eyes that night, a big cart entered Hanzhou City.

Therefore, he became more and more anxious.

Before he came, the emperor personally set a deadline for him to take Hanzhou before the beginning of spring. Now it is almost December, and Hanzhou remains motionless, which makes the general anxious.

But this cannot be entirely blamed. You should know that according to the original information of the court, the Hanzhou army in Hanzhou City was a mob with no climax, at most the level of troops stationed in the southwest. However, these people were not only not mobs, but were not inferior to the Hanzhong Army or Jincheng garrison.

"Someone must be secretly supporting this Hanzhou army!"

Pei Jin gritted his teeth in anger, but he had no choice.

Just when he was hesitating whether to enter Hanzhou, the eunuch Xiao Huai, sent by the court, hurried to Pei Jin and praised Pei: "General, my godfather is here, I'm going to see you outside."

Pei Jin has been in the court for many years, so he naturally knows who the eunuch Xiao Huai’s godfather is. He feels sober and whispers: “Eunuch Xiao is also here in the southwest?”

Xiao Huai nodded respectfully: "I just arrived today, General, please go and take a look."

Pei Jin then tidied up his clothes, followed Xiao Huai and walked out of the camp.

He originally lived in Jincheng for remote command, but after the last time the Hanzhou cavalry broke through, he set up a camp near Hanzhou City and was ready to command at any time.

At this time, the general followed Xiao Huai and soon walked to a eunuch who looked over thirty years old, wearing purple clothes, and looked down slightly: "Pei Jin has met Eunuch Xiao."

The person who came was Xiao Zheng, the eunuch of Taikang Dynasty.

A celebrity in front of the emperor like Li Xin can have an equal relationship with Xiao Zheng on weekdays, and even better than Xiao Zheng. However, this is because Li Xin has a good relationship with the emperor. Xiao Zheng represents the emperor for foreign ministers like Pei Jin, so he naturally has to respect him.

Xiao Zheng, dressed in purple, quickly returned the favor to Pei Jin and said, "You are polite, General."

General Pei reached out his hand and said, "Eunuch Xiao, please speak in charge of the tent."

Xiao Zheng nodded slightly and followed Pei Jin into the handsome tent. The two of them sat in the handsome tent. Xiao Huai, who was quite arrogant in front of outsiders, was particularly well-behaved in front of Xiao Zheng and kept pinching Xiao Zheng's shoulders.

After the two of them sat down, Pei Jin slowly spoke: "The eldest brother-in-law came from thousands of miles to the southwest. I wonder if His Majesty has any instructions?"

Xiao Zheng was drinking tea at this moment. Hearing the words, he smiled and looked at Pei Jin, and said with a smile: "There is nothing big, Your Majesty is not at ease here. Let our family come to the southwest to see how the situation is in Hanzhou City."

As he said that, Xiao Zheng looked at Pei Jin and asked with a smile: "General, how is the war here?"

With Xiao Huai in the southwest, he naturally could not lie at this time. Pei Jin was silent for a while and sighed: "To be honest, the combat power of the Hanzhou rebels is far beyond Pei's previous estimate. Our troops attacked the city twice, but there was no progress. There was no other good way at this time. We can only surround the Hanzhou city first and wait for them to lose all their food."

Xiao Zheng nodded and continued to ask: "How long is the food in Hanzhou enough to eat?"

"Don't know."

Pei Jin smiled bitterly and said, "But according to the rumors, the food in Hanzhou City is enough for more than a year..."

"Then don't fight."

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and said, "General Pei is ready to prepare, and return to Beijing to revoke his orders."

Pei Jin's face changed slightly.

"Brother-in-law, why is this?"

"Because Mr. Li is gone."

Xiao Zheng looked at Pei Jin and said slowly: "Marty Li, who was supposed to be the general of Zhenbei in the north, is gone..."

"A year is enough for him to do too many things. Before our family came, His Majesty said it very clearly. If he could not take Hanzhou before the beginning of spring, he would give up. Otherwise, not only would Hanzhou not be able to handle it well, but the Beizheng side would also be mute drums."

Xiao Zheng looked at Pei Jin directly.
