At that time, Li Xin can boldly plan his next move.

After Li Xin returned to his room, Wang Mo from the Guards Battalion followed him in. The tall and tall emperor bent over and clasped his fists at Li Xin: "Lieutenant Li, what should we do next?"

Up to now, Wang Mo has been convinced by the wisdom of this young man. It can be said that if it weren't for Li Xin, the group of them might have died long ago.

Li Xin poured a cup of tea for Wang Mo, and said in a calm voice, "What else can I do, just follow behind this General Cheng and "watch" the Pingnan Army take back Hanzhou Mansion all the way."

Li Xin took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.

"Why don't we let him perform a few more shows to disgust him, otherwise we are not here for nothing?"

Chapter 122 I Want To See Him

After the Pingnan Army rested in Deyang County for three days, they began to move towards the next county.

As Li Xin expected, the extremely brave Pingnan Army captured the county in just one day, and then General Cheng sent Li Xin a battle report that could not find any faults. , The battle damage and supplies, as well as the list of casualties are detailed in the battle report.

In just one month, the five counties of Deyang, Shifang, and Jintang in Hanzhou Prefecture were taken down by the Pingnan Army. The remnants of Xinjiang were thoroughly wiped out.

So far, the remnants of the chaos in southern Xinjiang have been quelled in this way.

During this process, Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, did not even show up. It was only the Deputy General Cheng Ping who took "[-]" Pingnan Army with him in just one month, and took all the five counties in Hanzhou Prefecture. Hit it down.

Li Xin and others followed Cheng Ping and lived in each county for a few days. In mid-April, he followed Cheng Ping to the gate of Hanzhou City, where the door was wide open. His deputy, Cheng Ping, clasped his fists together, bowed his head and said with emotion: "The remnants of southern Xinjiang were wiped out by the Pingnan Army in January. The Pingnan Army is really a brave army."

Li Xin's tone was sincere, and he couldn't hear the slightest hint of sarcasm, but this passage was full of sarcasm in Cheng Ping's ears, but this General Cheng was very thick-skinned, coughed immediately, and looked serious: " Southern Shu has been destroyed for more than 30 years, and the royal family of Southern Shu still refuses to let go. As the emperor's sharp sword, we Pingnan Army is our duty to eliminate thieves for the country."

Speaking of this, this General Cheng sighed: "It's just that our Pingnan Army was too eager for success this time to put down the chaos, so that our son Lang also suffered heavy losses. I implore Captain Li to report the situation to the court truthfully after returning to Beijing. So that the imperial court can issue the compensation on time."

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "I didn't find it difficult to suppress the bandits when I walked with General Cheng all the way. On the contrary, I saw General Cheng triumphantly all the way. In my opinion, this Marquis Li didn't have to rush back from the capital at all. , with General Cheng here, isn’t southern border impregnable?”

Cheng Ping's face changed slightly.

No matter what Li Xin said before, he just listened to it as a child's joke and didn't take it to heart at all, but Pingnan Marquis Li Shen is the absolute core of the Pingnan Army and the lifeblood of the Pingnan Army.

The deputy general of the Pingnan Army said seriously: "Li Xiaowei's words don't understand military matters. The most important thing in a large army is the general. Although the general did not personally lead the troops to attack the city, he took command from the rear. There is no general around. The rear is strategizing, coordinating and dispatching, with Cheng, how can he achieve such military exploits?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes.

This Cheng Ping has a strong desire to survive.

The young captain said softly: "General Cheng said just now that the Pingnan Army suffered heavy casualties and asked the court to issue a pension. I wonder how many people died in the Pingnan Army?"

Cheng Ping looked sad: "Lieutenant Li, our Pingnan Army officers and men worked hard in this battle. More than 1 people were killed in battle. As for the wounded, there are countless more!"

Tsk... what a big appetite.

According to the rules of the imperial court, the pension for a soldier who died in battle should be ten pennies, and more than 1 people died in battle. How many rewards, as well as the supply of food and grass, this time, the imperial court must allocate at least more than 10,000 million yuan to be enough.

Li Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "General Cheng, can the court make up for the fallen soldiers of the Pingnan Army?"

According to the rules, the Pingnan Army's establishment is 10 people. If some people are killed in battle, the imperial court must recruit troops to make up for the vacancy, because the general commanding generals are not qualified to recruit troops.

This time, he asked Cheng Ping's vital point.

The number of deaths he reported to Li Xin this time is more than 1 people. If the imperial court makes up more than 1 people to join the Pingnan Army, let’s not tell the truth, these 1 people can make Pingnan The army has trouble sleeping and eating.

If the Son of Heaven transfers 1 soldiers and horses, so many people will naturally form a force in southern Xinjiang, and this force is still not small. Unless the Pingnan Army officially raises the flag to rebel, they really can't help it. More than ten thousand people.

Even if it is fighting, more than 1 people are enough to tear a hole in the Pingnan Army.

Cheng Ping said in a low voice: "Lieutenant Li, I don't need this one. The country is employing people. How can our Pingnan Army waste the court's talents?"

Li Xin smiled and said: "We can't let the Pingnan Army lose more than 1 people for no reason, can we?"

Cheng Ping's expression turned cold.

"For the shortfall, my general will naturally write to the imperial court, requesting the imperial court to allow my Pingnan Army to recruit troops in southern Xinjiang. The Pingnan Army has come here for so many years, and has never troubled the imperial court."

Li Xin nodded clearly, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, General Cheng will also hand over the military report on the attack on Hanzhou Prefecture to my subordinates, and I will count a specific number earlier, so that I can report to His Majesty when I return to Beijing."

Cheng Ping nodded indifferently: "Don't worry Li Xiaowei, I will definitely deliver it to Li Xiaowei as soon as possible."

With that said, Vice General Cheng turned and left.

Li Xin also shook his head and smiled, turned around and walked into the mansion that Cheng Ping had arranged for them, ready to rest.

In a restaurant not far from this mansion, a noble young man in blue clothes was sitting by the window on the second floor, and he saw Li Xin and Cheng Ping in his eyes.

After Cheng Ping left, the young master held the wine glass in his hand, and said in a calm voice, "Make arrangements, I only want to meet this Li Xin tonight."

This noble son is naturally the eldest son of King Min of Nanshu, His Royal Highness Li Xing.

He was originally in Hanzhou City. After Cheng Ping "beat" into Hanzhou City, he didn't leave Hanzhou either. He still had to eat and drink calmly.

After the Southern Shu was destroyed, the King Min's branch escaped by chance, and took away a lot of wealth from the Southern Shu royal family, so that the King Min's branch lived happily in Southern Xinjiang. For example, His Royal Highness Li Xing, The daily life is no worse than that of Prince Min's Mansion when Nanshu was still alive.

Behind him stood a servant who was more than cyan, lowered his head and said: "Your Highness, there are people from the Pingnan Army guarding this man, it seems that it is not easy to see him."

"If it's easy, what else do you need?"

Li Xing's voice was cold: "No matter what method you use, if you want to meet this young man named Li Xin tonight, you can go ahead and do it. It doesn't matter if Cheng Ping finds out. I don't believe it. In the city of Hanzhou , what else can Cheng Ping do to Gu?"

It sounds very compelling to be called lonely, but whether it is "solitary" or "widow", it is a kind of self-deprecating title for a prince. Li Xing's current title is the son of Prince Min's mansion. From this level, he There is absolutely no problem in claiming to be "solitary".

What's more, he may be the only descendant of the Southern Shu royal family who is alive, and he is indeed a lonely family.

The servant quickly clasped his fists.

"Your Highness, I'll go down and make arrangements."

Chapter 123

Ever since Li Shen and the Nanshu Li family established the structure of southern Xinjiang, Hanzhou Prefecture was the sphere of influence of the Southern Xinjiang Li family, and Jincheng was the territory of Pingnan Houfu.

That is to say, even though Cheng Ping had breached Hanzhou in name, when Li Xin and others left Southern Xinjiang, the capital city of Hanzhou would still return to Li Xing's control.

Even now, with the Pingnan Army stationed in Hanzhou Mansion, Li Xing's power has not been damaged in any way. At least he is in Hanzhou Mansion, and he speaks louder than Cheng Ping.

That's why he has the confidence to say this sentence, even if Cheng Ping finds out, it doesn't matter.

This time, there was a change in Southern Shu, and it was claimed that 5 people raised troops. Although there were no people who actually caused chaos, Li Xing could indeed easily pull 5 people out.

Li Shen reported this amount, in a sense, he wanted to reveal the truth to the court and tell the capital how much capital Southern Xinjiang really had.

The days in April have gradually begun to be a little hot and dry.

But at night, it was still very cool. Li Xin, Wang Mo and other internal guards were sitting in the backyard of the mansion, enjoying the shade while discussing what to do next.
