As Li Xin said, taking Jimen Pass, Yuwen's division was also severely damaged, especially Yuwen Zhao's king's tent, which damaged a large number of young and strong people. Therefore, Yuwen Zhao had to stop in Jizhou City for a period of time, to slowly digest the spoils, and to rectify internal tribes. The other three divisions should not make any changes while the king's tent was weak.

Li Xin, who was in Yancheng, prepared for nearly a month, led two people from Zhechong Mansion to secretly leave Yancheng at night.

Large-scale personnel transfers will definitely attract the attention of Yuwen’s department, so Li Xin was very careful. The two Zhechong Mansions combined together were about 25,000 people, divided into more than 20 batches, and it took three full nights to sneak out of Yancheng.

At this time, most of the Yuwen Department was still energetic and solving internal problems. Although there were also their scouts near Yancheng, the density was not very high. In addition, Li Xin was very careful in his movements, and the two Zhechong Mansion gods left Yancheng without knowing it.

He took four Zhechong Prefectures from the capital, but they could not take all of them away. They wanted to leave some to guard Yancheng. Yancheng was one of the important cities in the north and the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. After the Yuwen tribe entered the pass, they would certainly think about going south, but they were still thinking about taking back Yancheng. Yuwen tribe was mobile and flexible. They wanted to go south and Li Xin could not stop them, but it was not so easy to attack the city. Yancheng was already tall and was once the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. When Ye Sheng broke the city, he also used human life to fill it. As long as two or three thousand people were left to defend the city, they could block the Xianbei people for a long time.

In addition, there is no problem in a short period of time when an experienced veteran like Wang Dun is stationed in Yancheng.

Li Xin and Ye Mao, with the men of the two Zhechong Mansions, ran all the way toward the northwest. Most of the two Zhechong Mansions were infantrymen. After running all the way for more than twenty days, they finally arrived at their destination.

There is also a city in front of you.

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

Yunzhou City.

The northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty was probably a line connected by Youyun states. The gateway to Youzhou was Jimen Pass, and the gateway to Yunzhou was Yunzhou City.

When Ye Sheng defeated the Northern Zhou Dynasty and returned to the court with victory, Emperor Wu sent the Zong family to the current position of Yunzhou City to garrison. The Zong family gathered 100,000 people. It took only three months to build such a border city. To this day, Yunzhou City has been as solid as a god. Three generations of Zhong family members have worked hard to guard here.

When Li Xin was a teenager, he came to Yunzhou City to deliver things. He still had some impression of this place. When he was about to reach the walls of Yunzhou City, Li Xin waved and ordered the two soldiers from Zhechong Mansion to camp on the spot. He followed Ye Mao and led dozens of personal guards to walk towards Yunzhou City.

It is worth mentioning that although the Yulin Guard has been left behind by Li Xin, Xie Dai, as a military supervisor, still followed Li Xin hard and almost never left.

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

After more than a month, Ye Mao's emotions had adjusted a lot at this time. He walked behind Li Xin, first glanced at Li Xin's expression, and then asked, "Uncle Master... are still worried about your brother-in-law?"

Li Xin's brother-in-law... Zhao Fang rushed back to Jizhou from Yongzhou to defend the city. He was shot on the shoulder by the enemy on the wall. He was rescued by Wang Dun and took good care of him. However, not long after, Jizhou City broke through, and all the wounded were dispersed. 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, even if he died, he would ask for it."

"It's just a pain for my girl."

When Zhao Fang was mentioned, he felt even more bored and groaned: "If I had known today, I wouldn't have married Xiaoxiao to him!"

The two of them had already reached the city of Yunzhou City. The soldiers of Yunzhou who were guarding the gate looked at the armor on Li Xin and Ye Mao, and after confirming their identities, they immediately bowed to the two of them.

"The two generals will inform General Zhong later."

There was a fire in the other side of Jimen Pass, and a scene of hell was everywhere, but Yunzhou City was still quite quiet, and the Yunzhou army patrolled and guarded the city wall in an orderly manner, and was peaceful.

Li Xin and Ye Mao were both people in the court, especially the great military of the Jin army. When they arrived, the Zong family naturally did not dare to neglect them. Not long after, the eldest son of the Zong family, who was only wearing a blue cloth and without armor, rushed out and bowed to the two people: "I have met Mr. Li and Duke Ye."

Zhong Xuantong, the eldest son of the Zong family, has returned to Beijing to retire. Now the military affairs of Yunzhou City are all handed over to Zhong Wu to manage. Except for not inheriting the title of the Zong family, this eldest son of Zong is already the actual head of the family.

Speaking of which, his sons Zhongheng and Li Xin have also dealt with each other.

Li Xin and Ye Mao both bowed their heads and returned the greeting. After the politeness was finished, Zhong Wu quickly invited the two of them into the city's Zhong Mansion and sat down. As soon as the tea was brought up, Zhong Wu asked, "I heard... the city has been broken in Jizhou City, and the situation is very bad. At this time, you two were not near Jizhou, but you arrived in Yunzhou... I don't know if it is?"

Ye Mao lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, and said, "Come and borrow a message from General Zhong."

There are two roads in the north, one is naturally the broken Jimen Pass, and the second is the Yunzhou City. Jimen Pass was occupied by the Xianbei people and could not enter or exit. If you want to get out of the pass, you can only go to Yunzhou City.

Zhong Wu's face changed slightly and he asked, "Duke Ye came out of seclusion... for?"

This time Ye Mao did not reply, but Li Xin said in a deep voice: "General Zhong is also from a general and has been in the border for many years. He should know the power of the Xianbei people. Now Jimen Pass is broken, and we are powerless to stop him from continuing to move south, so we have to leave Yunzhou City and give him a pot to remove the firewood."

Zhong Wu frowned and said, "Taifu, you have no problem with your idea, but when you really get on the grassland, the young children of Xianbei and equestrians may be better than those of my soldiers from the Great Jin Dynasty. It's too risky for you to come out of seclusion like this."

"The risks are naturally borne by ourselves."

Li Xin smiled and said, "General Zhong just needs to open the door for us and let us out of seclusion."

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

Li Xin's face was calm.

"The two Zhechong Mansions with the Imperial Guards have a total of more than 24,000 people."

Zhong Wu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, the officials said bluntly that more than 20,000 people will probably not play any role. More than 20,000 people may not even be able to take down the weakest Qigui tribe in the Yuwen tribe."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Don't worry, General Zhong, my Duke Ye has already discussed the specific plan, just borrow the road from Yunzhou City."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued, "But in addition to borrowing the road, he also took the liberty to borrow something else from General Zhong."

Zhong Wu spoke, "Even if the Taifu is said, there is anything you can help, the Zhong family must want to help."

"If you have the words of a general, it will be easier to deal with."

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

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhong Wu, who was originally respectful, immediately turned dark.
