At this time, whether it was the eunuch Xiao Huai or the editor-in-chief of the Hanzhou General who came to take over as the editor-in-chief of Hanzhou, they all saw that the situation was wrong in the Hanzhou Prefecture. Xu Bin had no choice but to bite the bullet and stay in the Hanzhou General's Mansion, living in the room arranged for him by Mu Ying. Xiao Huai did not dare to stay for a long time, so he took people out of Hanzhou City that day.

Mu Ying did not stop him from leaving the city, but sent some tails to follow him.

After Xiao Huai left the city, he rode a fast horse and left Hanzhou Prefecture, but he did not walk into the capital, but walked directly towards Jincheng.

Jincheng was the base camp of the Pingnan Army and the center of the entire southwest. After Jincheng was defeated by Li Xin, he did not take it for himself, but gave it out and gave it to the Dajin court as the official office of the Southwest Road. He himself gathered all his tentacles into the Hanzhou Prefecture.

At this time, in the original Pingnan General's Mansion in Jincheng, General Pei Jin sat expressionlessly. The eunuch Xiao Huai, dressed in purple, ran to Pei Jin all the way and said, "General, I have gone to Hanzhou to announce the imperial decree. As the general expected, Mu Ying did not accept the order and claimed that he was sick and could not go to the capital."

Pei Jin is not very tall, but he is a strong man with a beautiful long beard. After hearing Xiao Huai's words, General Pei stroked his beard and said lightly: "I had expected this guy to resist the order, and I had never thought that he would enter the capital. I just lacked a reason to use troops against Hanzhou Prefecture. At this time, there was a reason."

Pei Jin waved.

The general garrisoned in Jincheng immediately came over and said, "The General is instructed."

"If you pass the order, the 20,000 troops in Jincheng must be assembled before noon tomorrow and head to Hanzhou Prefecture!"

"Within ten days, all places outside Hanzhou Prefecture except Hanzhou City must be occupied, but those who delay military aircraft will be killed without mercy!"

This order is actually not too much. In addition to Hanzhou City, there are many counties, villages and other places. However, the elite troops of the Hanzhou Army are almost all in Hanzhou City. There are estimated that there are only one or two thousand Hanzhou Army in other places.

Within ten days, clean up the places other than Hanzhou City. The problem is not very big. With the strong military force, he can surround Hanzhou City and then take the next move. It will be very simple.

The emperor gave Pei Jin the deadline before the beginning of next spring, but in General Pei's mind, if things go well, he will even have the chance to return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year.

Of course, there will inevitably be some casualties and injuries during the siege, but Pei Jin doesn't care much. He is a mature general. Although he will also care about the casualties of his subordinates, it will not affect his decision.

After hearing Pei Jin's words, the general of Jincheng immediately nodded and said in a deep voice: "The last general will take the order!"

After the general left, Pei Jin sat alone in the main seat of the Pingnan General's Mansion. He looked at the somewhat majestic Pingnan Hou Mansion and slowly closed his eyes.

"There used to be Li Zhijie and Li Shen."

General Pei had no expression on his face.

"But there will be no third person sitting on it."

……………………

That night, Hanzhou City sent five cavalry overnight. These five people were all expeditioned to the west with Li Xin and then left by Li Xin in the Yulin Guard in the southwest. Now each of them carries a letter with exactly the same content and the destination is the same.

There is only one purpose, which is to deliver this letter to Li Xin safely.

If they are unfortunately chased, they will destroy the letters in their hands as soon as possible without leaving any traces.

Although these five people are riding fast horses, they cannot change horses from the post station, and it is unlikely that they will be three horses per person. It is too conspicuous, so no matter how fast they are, they can only walk more than 300 miles a day. Even so, they are running ways to consume their horse's life.

From the southwest to the northern border, if you go around the capital, it will be at least five or six thousand miles. However, they don’t have to walk from the capital, they can go straight to Jimenguan. Even so, there is a journey of nearly four thousand miles. In other words, even if the journey goes smoothly, it will take more than ten days for the letter from Hanzhou City to reach Li Xin.

Just as these five fast horses were racing on the road, the Marquis of Jing'an in Jizhou City had reached a preliminary consensus after three days of negotiations with Yuwen Zhao.

The two of them clinked their glasses in the restaurant and drank them all in one go.

Yuwen Zhao smiled all over his face.

"As General Li said, after the beginning of next spring, our army will have a conflict with the Futu department because of the grassland. Our army will try our best to make a big fuss and fight with the Futu department. At that time, General Li's Zhenbei Army can take the opportunity to set out and attack the Futu department."

Speaking of this, Yuwen Zhao looked at Li Xin and said in a deep voice: "But it was agreed in advance that the Futu tribe can be injured but not disabled. The Zhenbei Army must stop their attack at the right time. Once the Futu tribe surrenders to our tribe, the Zhenbei Army must stop the attack immediately. Otherwise, the four Yuwen tribes will all the troops in the tribe and attack Jimen Pass!"

Facing Yuwen Zhao's threat, Marquis Jing'an smiled.

"If you four families join forces to break Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City, you will not have sheep that have been on the grassland for more than 40 years."

This sentence sounds hurtful, but it is a real truth. Today, the Yuwen tribes are not short of good horses, but they have weapons, armor, and especially siege equipment. They may still be sharp in fighting on the grassland, but it will be difficult to get them to siege the city.

In fact, the four families joined forces and each tried their best to open one of Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City. However, after opening, the four families would be greatly damaged. If the generals guarding the border were more determined, they might be directly disabled.

At that time, the troops from another place can be easily removed from the four ministries of Yuwen, which is also the real reason why they have been laid sheep for more than 40 years.

After being ruthlessly exposed by Li Xin, Yuwen Zhao's face was not blushing, and he said lightly: "In short, if Marquis Li does not act as agreed, the Yuwen tribes and Marquis Li's ties will be formed in the future!"

"After the demise of the Futu tribe, their territory, cattle and sheep can be cut to half of the Southern Dynasties, so that Marquis Li can communicate with your emperors of the Southern Dynasties, but their young, strong, women, children, and horses will all belong to my tent."

Marquis Jing'an stretched out a finger, shook it in front of Yuwen Zhao, and said lightly: "Tian Wang, this is different from what we agreed in advance. There are more than half of the cattle and sheep, and half of the horse."

Yuwen Zhao narrowed his eyes.

"Look at Brother Wei's mind, I almost remembered it wrong."

He smiled and said, "If there is no objection, will we agree to a letter of alliance?"

"There is no need for a letter of alliance."

Li Xin said lightly: "I can't leave evidence of collusion with foreign races, and the king of heaven doesn't want to leave evidence of collusion with outsiders to harm his own people. Besides, things like the Book of Alliance are all waste paper for you and me."

Indeed, if the two people want to go back on their word, the Union Secretary cannot restrain them.

Yuwen Zhao stretched out his palm and grinned, "Then let's swear by high-fives."

Marquis Jing'an also stretched out his palm, and the two of them slapped three times, and the vow was fulfilled.

After slamming the high fives, Li Xin smiled at Yuwen Zhao.

"This transaction makes a lot of money."

"After annexing the Futu tribe, if you digest it for a few years, the two already weak tribes will naturally come to join the Heavenly King. At that time, the Yuwen tribe, which had been split for forty years, will be unified."

Yuwen Zhao bowed to Li Xin and said.
