Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin punched Chong Wu, and now his anger has dissipated a lot. He patted Ye Mao on the shoulder and said slowly: "I was also very angry just now, and I beat Chong Wu, but Then I thought about it carefully."

Having said that, Li Xin looked at Ye Mao and sighed slightly: "How similar is our current situation to Master Ye's back then?"

"Back then, Master Ye was probably a hundred times more aggrieved than we are now."

Li Xin and the others just went out to sow dissension and killed thousands of Xianbei people, but Ye Sheng took 20 imperial troops and spent eight years to conquer the most powerful country in the north. It was pierced abruptly!

This is the real credit for destroying the country.

However, in the end, Ye Cheng gained fame but didn't get any benefits. After returning to Beijing, he was confiscated of his military power and arranged to take a temporary post in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, but he was actually under house arrest at home and hadn't left the capital for decades. , He didn't even go back to Ningling's hometown.

The soldiers who followed him on the northern expedition were more or less suppressed by the court after returning to Beijing, and their official careers were not smooth.

At that time, Old Man Ye felt extremely aggrieved.

But he still endured for more than 40 years.

Li Xin doesn't have the restraint of old man Ye, so he can't be the second Ye Cheng.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Ye Mao fell into silence and didn't speak for a long time.

The room was silent for a while.

"I'm leaving."

After a while of silence, Li Xin patted Ye Mao's shoulder again, and said with a smile: "This time it will be like this, probably because of me. Then set off to go back to the southwest."

"When all the imperial guards have entered the customs, you can take them back to Yancheng and recruit the Zhenbei army again in Yancheng, and then see how the imperial court reacts."

Ye Mao let out a breath slowly, and looked up at Li Xin.

"Uncle, how about...I'll go to the southwest with you."

"Then what about your wife and children in the capital?"

Li Xin sighed and patted his shoulder.

"There is a problem with the Xianbei tribes. Yu Wenzhao won't be able to occupy Jizhou for long. Take Jizhou back and gain a firm foothold in northern Xinjiang again. With military power in your hands, you can speak loudly."

"If there is an edict from the imperial court, you can pretend that you haven't seen it. If it doesn't work, you can go to the southwest."

Li Xin said quietly.

"It stands to reason that as long as you recruit soldiers quickly enough, the imperial court will not do anything to you. They don't have much spare power to deal with the north."

Ye Mao smiled bitterly at Li Xin: "Uncle Master is going back to the southwest this time... is he going to formally raise troops?"

Li Xin did not answer directly, but said something lightly.

"The current day is not very clean."

"It's time for the sun and the moon to change to a new sky,"

Chapter 1023 Are you planning to rebel?

The process of leaving Yunzhou City was not very smooth. After all, although the people from the Zhong family did not arrest him, the court would definitely send someone to watch him. Fortunately, Shen Gang brought a lot of people from the Anbu to follow Li Xin. He was also experienced, and after walking around for a few days, he was out of the court's sight.

It is worth mentioning that Li Xin did not take the princess Yu Wenjing of the Helan Tribe with her, but threw her to Zhong Wu of Yunzhou City.

Li Xin and others headed west all the way, and then went south from the west, making a big circle, and walked for two and a half months before returning to Jincheng.

At this time, it was the end of March in the fifth year of Yuanzhao, and spring was coming to an end.

Because Jincheng was not notified in advance, Mu Ying and Li Shuo were in Hanzhong and Jiange, and did not come back in time. Only Zhao Jia greeted Li Xin at the gate of the city, and Li Xin's horse stopped at the gate of Jincheng. At that time, Zhao Jia personally stepped forward to lead Li Xin's horse, and Li Xin jumped off the horse and walked side by side with Zhao Jia.

Seeing Li Xin's safe return, Zhao Jia was very happy. He smiled and said, "I heard about the matter of Lord Hou in Northern Xinjiang in Jincheng. Yu Wenzhao from Xianbei will probably be very angry this time."

Li Xin put his hands in the sleeves in front of him, and shook his head slightly: "It is true that Yu Wenzhao's royal account has suffered heavy losses, but the vitality of the entire Xianbei is still there. Whether it is Yu Wenzhao or the Helan tribe, they are all hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang. Going north this time only delayed the conflict, and sooner or later there will be another war.”

Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin thoughtfully, and said, "Master Hou, you took such a big risk to help the Ji family solve the troubles in northern Xinjiang, but it seems that the Ji family does not accept Lord Hou's affection."

"I don't want them to acknowledge me either."

"This time I went north, my original intention was not to let too many people die in the north, and not let the Xianbei tribe grow up."

Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at Zhao Jia, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, even if we enter the capital in the future, we will still have to face big troubles in the north. Now the Xianbei tribe should stop for a few years, so that we have enough Time to do our thing."

Zhao Jia stopped in his tracks, took a deep look at Li Xin, and said with some emotion: "After more than ten years, Lord Hou has finally made up his mind."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak.

After the two entered the city, they were walking on the streets of Jincheng. Li Xin asked, "How is the Southwest Army doing now?"

"Returning to Lord Hou, the imperial court withdrew its troops from Hanzhong and Ankang, and gave way to the southwest gate. Now Mu Ying is stationed in Hanzhong, and General Li Shuo is stationed in Jiange. After a while, based on the current situation between the two sides, even if the imperial court raises 30 forbidden troops in Gyeonggi, we will be able to defend as much as possible with the help of the southwestern location and the thunder."

Zhao Jia's words mean that Li Xin's structure in the Southwest has been completely completed. In other words, if he suddenly doesn't want to work hard now, he can close the door to the Southwest and establish his own country and become the second Southern Shu. With the favorable location and thunder, the Li family in the southwest has at least 100 years of national fortune.

Li Xin walked in front of Zhao Jia with his hands behind his back, and asked calmly, "Brother You'an, if we leave Shu at this time, what are our chances of winning?"

Zhao Jia frowned, and said, "I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great. The Tianlei, which my subordinates have studied in detail in the past few years, is extremely powerful when defending the city, but it is much worse when fighting on the plain. The Southwest Army now has 16 people, and some are forced to recruit, and it is estimated that another 10 people can be recruited, but the recruits... can't face the forbidden army of the imperial court."

Having said that, Zhao Jia looked at Li Xin and said, "Originally...we could take this opportunity to leave Shu, but..."

But Li Xin did not agree.

Zhao Jia said half of this sentence, and didn't say any more.

Li Xin didn't care, and said: "Ye Mao is now recruiting the Zhenbei Army near Yancheng, plus the remnants of the Zhenbei Army. If he is successful now, he should have recruited 4 to [-] people. According to my estimation , Yu Wenzhao will soon withdraw from Jizhou and go back outside the pass, as long as Ye Mao takes back Jizhou, we don’t have to worry about the frontier troops in the north.”

The reorganization of the Zhenbei Army will help Li Xin guard the Zhong Family Army. At that time, Li Xin will probably only have to face the Central Forbidden Army of the Great Jin Dynasty and some scattered local troops.

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused, and continued: "Brother You'an is right. We are going out of Shu now, facing head-to-head. It is true that the chances of winning are not great, so we can only find another way and change it."

Zhao Jia looked at Li Xin curiously, and asked, "What method?"

Li Xin chuckled.

"Mr. Qing's side."

"The sycophants and treacherous ministers in the court are causing chaos in the court. We, the loyal and upright ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, naturally want to set things right and clean up the world."

Zhao Jia lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Master Hou wants to choose a clan..."

"I don't know which clan the Marquis wants to choose...?"

"After Mu Ying and the others come back, let's sit down and talk about it in detail."

Li Xin chuckled: "I haven't seen my wife and children for more than half a year, and now I'm going home to have a reunion with my family. I'll talk about these things in detail later."
