Mu Ying's progress process was relatively smooth.

After all, the Hanzhong Army and the Ankang Army had withdrawn from the capital. At this time, the imperial guards in the imperial capital of the imperial court did not move, and there was no large force in the local area to use it. Even if there were loyal ministers from the Jin Dynasty who wanted to fight to block the Southwest Army, they were useless in the face of the thunder of the catapulted car. Soon, in just one month, Mu Ying took Suizhou and advanced towards Luzhou.

Mu Ying's army was in front, Li Xin and Li Shuo led the Ningzhou army to follow Mu Ying. On the one hand, they took over the city captured by Mu Ying, and on the other hand, they were doing the work of finishing the aftermath.

Because of Li Xin's words, Li Shuo was very hardworking. Tens of thousands of Ningzhou troops accepted surrendered soldiers while conscripting soldiers along the way. For this reason, Li Shuo also specially set up a new recruit battalion to train recruits.

To be honest, because time is too hasty, it is not realistic to want these recruits to develop too much combat power. However, if a normal person with strong limbs puts him on armor, a steel knife, and train him to dare to fight to the battlefield, he will have a certain degree of combat power.

Anyway, many prefectures and counties were captured along the way, and Li Shuo also accepted the property of many wealthy and corrupt officials. At this time, he was not short of money and food, and at most he lacked enough weapons and armor. Li Shuo personally recruited blacksmiths from various prefectures. While training new recruits, he was busy making swords and armor for them.

Relatively speaking, Li Xin, who was following the Central Army, was much more idle. Every day, he sat in the Central Army's tent and looked through military affairs documents, and then wrote letters at his desk, and asked someone to send them to Jincheng or Mu Ying.

In addition, Li Shuo is responsible for all military affairs.

On this day, they moved into Suizhou City. Li Xin, who had lived in a tent for several months, finally moved into the house. He took a hot shower, then returned to his study and looked through the lights of Li Shuo and Mu Ying.

There was a knock on the door outside, followed by a young man’s voice.

"Brother."

Li Xin put down the document in his hand and said, "Come in."

A thin young man pushed the door open and walked in, bowing to Li Xin.

"I've seen the general."

Li Xin looked at him and asked, "Can the injury be cured?"

The person who came in was naturally his brother-in-law Zhao Fang. When Zhao Fang was guarding Jizhou, he was shot on the shoulder by the Xianbei people and was injured very much. He finally returned to the southwest to recover. Several months have passed since then.

Zhao Fang rubbed his right shoulder and smiled bitterly: "Brother, there is no big problem anymore, but the shoulders occasionally hurt and cannot exert strength."

Li Xin frowned slightly, then sighed: "It's a pity that Mr. Qin from Guanzhong killed the late emperor, otherwise he would come to the southwest and might be able to get rid of the disease."

"It's a blessing to be alive."

Zhao Fang lowered his head and said, "I am hereby Zhao Jinglei's order to come to the general's tent to listen to it. Please give me the general's instructions."

"What do I need you to do? Brother Youan should have told you."

General Li still frowned.

"Because the court announced that the sixth prince had died, the Southwest Army encountered much greater resistance during the process of advancing eastward than I expected. We need to get some voice and cannot be so passive."

"Over these days, I have asked Shiliu to investigate some great scholars and scholars. He will give you detailed content. You can follow Shiliu for a few days, and then you can take some people to persuade these people who believe in them and let them speak for the Southwest."

Zhao Fang nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother, I have done my best to do this for my brother."

Li Xin nodded and said, "This matter is left to you, but remember one thing: If you can do it, don't kill people. You can use methods, but don't be too despicable. If you really encounter a tough guy, just pinch your nose and avoid it. There are many famous scholars, so there is no need to hold a person and not let go."

Zhao Fang lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the Northern Zhou clans were no longer there, and those people were the least backbone. If they were there, they would not have to speak up at this time. They would spontaneously praise their brothers."

Among the Northern Zhou clans, many of them were families that had been around for thousands of years. The reason why these families were able to decline in the dynasty was largely because of the fence-bearing nature.

It’s not that they have any moral problems, but that for these aristocratic families, there has never been an eternal dynasty, they have no loyalty or unfaithfulness in their eyes, and their family is far greater than their country.

Therefore, it is normal for them to be fence-branded for their family.

These aristocratic races have lived for thousands of years or even longer, and have controlled a large amount of social resources. It was not until Emperor Wu led the Great Jin Dynasty to unify the world and the imperial examinations were in full swing. These northern aristocratic races slowly declined.

In the Taikang Dynasty, the emperor and Li Xin completely sent the Northern Zhou clan into the tomb.

Li Xin glanced at Zhao Fang and said calmly: "You are also from the Northern Zhou clan. I remember your grandfather back then, and I still wanted to let you rebuild the Li family of Zhao County in the capital."

Zhao Fang bowed slightly and said, "The past is gone. After the Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin Dynasty was abolished from the ninth rank, these aristocratic families were already dying little by little. Even if my younger brother rebuilt the Li family in Zhao County, the descendants of the family would not study, and they would die in two or three generations."

"I've already thought about it."

Zhao Fang lowered his head and said, "In the future, he would give birth to two sons and change one of them back to the surname Li, which is considered as not breaking the incense of grandfather. As for what his Li family looks like, it depends entirely on the descendants themselves, and it has nothing to do with me, or with the Li family of Zhaojun."

If he was an adult from the Li family of Zhao County, he would definitely be able to do so and was willing to sacrifice his life for the family. However, Zhao Fang was different. The Li family of Zhao County was gone at the age of **, and his feelings for the family may not even be deep in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.

Therefore, he can see it openly.

What's more, the Southwest General in front of him personally filled in the last piece of soil on the Northern Zhou clan and buried people from the aristocratic era. Even if he was determined to rebuild the Li family of Zhaojun, he would not be able to say it in front of Li Xin.

"I'll be relieved if you have this idea."

General Li narrowed his eyes, took out a black iron plate from his sleeve, placed it on the table, and said, "This is the brand of the Anbu. You can take it to find the Sixteenth. Sixteen will tell you what to do next. Mu Ying has advanced to Luzhou. There are many famous scholars in the prefecture along Hanzhong to Luzhou, all of whom are within our control. All you have to do is to change your words and replace the southwest and speak for the sixth prince."

Zhao Fang reached out to take the iron plate, then put it into his sleeve, lowered his head and said, "I must do this for my brother."

After saying this, Zhao Fang was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Xin and asked, "Brother..."

"From now on, I will stay in the Anbu to do things?"

His arms were half-baked and he was destined to be a general in the future.

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It's just that you can do something temporary. The secret department is shameful and not suitable for you. What I mean is that it's better for you to be an official in the future."

He is a little husband, so he is naturally not good at doing things in the dark all his life.

"Thank you brother."
