Unparalleled Concubine

Originally, he was dealing with government affairs in the Jinglue Yamen, but when he saw Shen Gang coming to invite him in person, he was so shocked that he quickly put down the affairs in hand and rushed to Li Yuan.

Li Xin didn't say much, but handed the news sent by Shen Gang to Zhao Jia. Zhao Jia had the ability to see all kinds of things. After he only glanced twice, he immediately gave Li Xin a serious look.

"Master Hou, there's a fight in the north...?"

Li Xin frowned slightly: "The brothers over there are temporarily saying that Yu Wenzhao's assembled army is advancing towards Jimen Pass, but according to this posture, a fight will definitely happen. The key is to see how the Zhenbei Army responds. Can you stop Yu Wenzhao, or how long can you stop it?"

Speaking of this, Lord Jing'an glanced at the north side and shook his head: "According to the speed of our information transmission, this letter has already happened half a month ago. At this time, the two sides probably have met for the first time, but We are far away, so we have to wait for news about the specific situation.”

Zhao Jia sat opposite Li Xin, and looked up at Li Xin.

"Master Hou...you have led the Zhenbei Army, and you have also been in contact with Yu Wenzhao. If there is a fight, how does Master Hou feel about the situation?"

"Not very optimistic."

Li Xin said helplessly: "The life of the Zhenbei Army is not particularly easy. For the same job, the equipment they get is a bit worse than that of the Yunzhou Army. In my opinion, as long as Yu Wenzhao is willing to die, he can take down Ji It's only a matter of time before the doors close."

Speaking of this, Li Houye looked at the north, and said slowly: "Yu Wenzhao just unified the Yuwen Ministry not long ago, and this is the time when he is most willing to die."

The reason is very simple. Although the Yuwen tribes are united, the three previous Yuwen tribes also respected Yu Wenzhao as king, but there is a difference between closeness and intimacy. Those who did not bring soldiers out by themselves are not direct descendants after all. As long as Yu Wenzhao has a little selfishness, those who fight From time to time, people from other tribes will be put first, and their own direct descendants will be placed behind, so that even if the war consumes them, they will not feel distressed.

More importantly, the more the other three tribes died, the more secure his position as King Yan of the Northland would be, and it would be more conducive for him to completely control the entire Xianbei tribe.

Zhao Jia pondered for a while, then looked up at Li Xin, and said, "Master Hou, if Jimen Gate is closed, we can take this opportunity to leave Shu."

The Southwest Army has been training for so many years and created so many thunderstorms. Whether it is Mu Ying or Zhao Jia, they all have the idea of ​​leading troops out of Shu. Li Xin came to Jincheng after the New Year, and he was also discussing with them when This is a good opportunity to go out of Shu.

But hearing Zhao Jia's words at this time, Li Xin frowned: "Brother You'an, the Xianbei tribe is a foreign race, a foreign race that was driven out of the pass by Master Ye."

"We can take advantage of other people's dangers when we do things, but it's better not to take advantage of Zhuxia's dangers for personal gain?"

Zhao Jia frowned and said: "Master Hou, the sage said that when the barbarians entered China, China would be the same. The Xianbei nobles entered the customs for more than a hundred years, and most of them have been Sinicized. They are not considered ignorant aliens. At this time, everyone is just relying on their own means. There is no Hou. It's as serious as what I said."

Li Xin shook his head.

"Brother You'an took it for granted. If it was Xianbei people more than 40 years ago, there is no problem in saying so, but now more than 40 years have passed, and the nobles of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have become Xianbei people again, and there is a shortage of supplies outside the customs. These people are brave. Those who die to attack the city pass of Dajin are here to rob things."

With that said, Li Xin glanced at Zhao Jia.

"The saint also said that when China enters the barbarians, the barbarians will come. Although these Xianbei people speak Chinese, they are still Xianbei people in their bones. Once they occupy the north, things will be out of hand."

Zhao Jia frowned slightly, he glanced at Li Xin, and asked, "Master Hou thinks that all kinds of situations are easy to deal with?"

"Yu Wenzhao entered the pass, but stopped a hundred miles outside the Jimen Pass, so that even if they cause trouble, the scale will not be too large, and we can deal with it as much as possible."

"Then who should clean it up?"

Zhao Jia raised his head and glanced at Li Xin lightly.

"It can't be you, Lord Hou?"

Chapter 984

Now that the north is really fighting, it is an unstoppable fact that the Yuwen Ministry will enter the customs, but as long as the Zhenbei Army sticks to it, even if the Yuwen Department enters the customs, it will suffer heavy losses. What Li Xin means is that the Xianbei Ministry can enter the customs, but it cannot exceed For five hundred miles, we must try our best to control the impact of the war within a certain range.

This is a very difficult thing to do. For one thing, Li Xin is not any general of the imperial court, nor does he serve in the imperial court. Although he has soldiers under his command, it is impossible for him to pass through the imperial court to manage the affairs of the north, nor is it possible to do so. .

From a rational point of view, what Li Xin, or Southwest should do now, is to wait for the troubles in the north to rise up, and take advantage of the opportunity to raise troops and lay a future for himself for thousands of generations. , but he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and he didn't have the kind of heroic heart that would rather me bear the world. Compared with those big shots, in his eyes, the lives of ordinary people are also lives.

At this time, the entire Southwest Group is pushing him forward, and it is impossible to retreat or stay in the Southwest. Li Xin must do something.

After hearing Zhao Jia's words, Li Xin said: "I have a plan in my heart, which can control the situation in northern Xinjiang and let the Southwest Army go out of Shu at the same time, but whether this plan is feasible or not, needs to be discussed carefully after Mu Ying returns. "

Zhao Jia frowned, looked at Li Xin, and sighed slowly: "Master Hou, you are also a person who has read history books. All kinds of emperors and heroes in history books are covered with bones. Even if their parents are cooked, some people can "Share me a piece of the pie" cruel words, Lord Hou, let go of any compassionate thoughts in your heart, you are still young, as long as we occupy the capital, there will be plenty of time in the future to clean up the old country."

Li Xin sat in his seat, closed his eyes, and did not speak.

I have to admit that even if he is in this position today, he is still an ordinary person in his bones, at most he is a smarter ordinary person. His ideas and concepts are still too different from those of the big shots. When his son and daughter were arrested, he couldn't say the cruel words of "take me a piece of the pie".

But in life, one must always follow one's own heart and blindly pursue profits. In the end, there may be one more hero in the history books, but one Li Chang'an will also be missing.

He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then said, "I want to try the method of getting the best of both worlds."

After that, he stopped talking, closed his eyes and thought about things, and about half an hour later, Mu Ying in military uniform rushed to Li Garden from outside the city. Before he entered, he turned to Li Xin. Arching his hands, he said, "Why is Hou Ye summoning his subordinates?"

Li Xin opened his eyes, let out a breath slowly: "Let Brother You'an tell you."

Zhao Jia picked up the information from the table, handed it to Muying, and then said lightly, "This is the news from Jizhou. The Yuwen Department has been holding back the whole winter and finally couldn't hold it anymore." , and now it is estimated that there has been a fight with the Zhenbei Army, and the situation in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty is in chaos."

Mu Ying didn't have Zhao Jia's ability to see ten lines at a glance. After reading the letter carefully, his eyes could not help but shine.

The servant slapped his thigh and shouted: "Isn't this a golden opportunity? There is chaos in the north of the Ji family. I will take this opportunity to go out of Shu and point my sword at the capital. Today's Ji family does not have the spirit of Emperor Wu, and it is gone." ... I don't believe they can take care of both the north and the south, and fight on both sides!"

He wanted to say that Ye Cheng was coming, but there was still a disciple of Grandpa Ye at the scene, so he kept silent.

Mu Ying cupped her hands at Li Xin excitedly.

"Your Majesty, give the order. We have been preparing for so many years, and we can't hold back any longer!"

Li Xin opened his eyes, gave Mu Ying a deep look, and then said, "Brother Mu, now that the Southwest Army is out of Jianmen Pass, facing the [-] troops from Hanzhong and the [-] troops from Ankang Peijin, what are the odds of winning?" ?”

"Ten percent!"

Mu Ying answered without hesitation, and he said excitedly: "Jincheng has produced a lot of sky thunder these years, and we have been training for so many years, even if it is still not as good as the Pingnan Army back then, it is not much worse. Now, going out of Shu to face the imperial army at this time is just a question of how much you have to pay, not whether you can win or not!"

Although there are only 6 or 15 people in the Southwest, the current military quality is directly catching up with the elite Pingnan Army back then. Coupled with the blessing of Tianlei and the familiarity with the terrain in the Southwest, the [-] people placed by the imperial court at the Southwest Gate are not too big. It may prevent the Southwest Army from leaving Shu.

Of course, after the Southwest Army leaves the Southwest, it is unknown how many chances they will have in facing the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

"Well."

Li Xin opened his eyes and said slowly: "Send the order, prepare the army for war, and at the same time wait for news from the north. Once the battle in the north becomes fierce, you and Li Shuo, Mu Ying, will each lead 5 people out of Shu and attack Hanzhong. !"

Hearing Li Xin's words, the black-faced Mu Ying almost had a red light on his face. He immediately stood up, bent over to Li Xin and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

But Zhao Jia heard some different meanings, this white-clothed manager frowned, looked at Li Xin and said, "Then what about you, Lord Marquis?"

Li Xin grinned: "Since I resigned from office, the emperor has issued five edicts to call me back to Beijing. The kindness is hard to refuse."

"In a few days, when the news from the north becomes clearer, I will leave for Beijing."

Having said that, Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia, and said slowly, "Go and clean up the mess."

Mu Ying's face changed drastically when he heard the words, but Zhao Jia seemed to have guessed something and was not surprised. He looked at Li Xin and sighed deeply: "It is feasible to do this, but you can go there yourself, Lord Hou. , too risky."

"No one else can do it except me."

Lord Jing'an looked calm, he turned his head to look at Mu Ying, and said with a smile: "As long as Brother Mu is not bragging and can really defeat the imperial army, then I will be absolutely safe in the capital, and the battle in the southwest will be more beautiful , my voice will be louder in the capital."
