Unparalleled Concubine

Cheng Ping said in a low voice: "General, the imperial court's forbidden army is here, how should we deal with it?"

"Not in a hurry."

Li Shen smiled: "Li Xin is still too young to lead the army. Besides, he is newly married, so he is more likely to come out. You should first find out who is leading the army, and then we can make plans."

"I will recognize all the military generals who can lead 10 people in the imperial court."

Cheng Ping nodded, and was about to go down to do some work when the tall Li Yan rushed in.

He bowed respectfully in front of Li Shen.

"Brother, someone sent you a letter."

"A letter to me?"

Li Shen was stunned, and asked, "Whose?"

Li Yan shook his head: "It wasn't written on the envelope, it just said that he was an old friend of the elder brother, and also the general of the imperial court's expedition to the southwest..."

Li Shen reached out to take the letter and gently opened it.

He didn't read the content of the letter, but glanced at the signature at the end of the letter.

There are four majestic characters on the signature.

Ning Ling Ye Ming.

Ningling is the hometown of Chen Guogong Ye Sheng.

Chapter 476

When Emperor Wu sent Li Zhijie and Ye Cheng to fight north and south, Ye Ming was also a "hostage" in the capital. Unfortunately, he was ten years older than Li Shen and Chengde Emperor, so he couldn't play They went together, but they really knew each other, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were old friends.

Li Shen shook his head slowly, talking to himself.

"The little emperor transferred him back from the north, so the fourth son of the Ye family should be taking over the Northern Army at Jimen Pass."

"The little emperor dares to delegate power to the Ye family in such a way, he is a little more courageous than his father."

Although he called the Emperor Taikang and the false emperor on the surface, in fact he still recognized the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. After all, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

In private, Li Shen is also unwilling to say those hypocritical words, so he is called the little emperor.

As for the Ye family...

At the beginning, Ye Sheng was imprisoned in the capital for more than 30 years, because Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde were too jealous of the Ye family. In the entire Chengde Dynasty, the Ye family failed to develop much, but in the Taikang Dynasty, because Ye The family has made great contributions to seizing the heir, so Emperor Taikang continued to not maintain the policies of the previous two generations.

Of course, part of the reason is that Ye Cheng is old enough.

He was too old to go to battle, too old to pose any threat to the imperial power, so Emperor Taikang relaxed his control over the Ye family, allowing the two brothers of the Ye family to control two major military forces at the same time.

For these so-called emperor's mind skills, Li Shen has no doubts.

Then he began to read the letter.

"Jinchen, my younger brother, Taijian."

……

"The last time I met my younger brother was in the old days of Chengde. At that time, the emperor's birthday was celebrated and the capital was full of excitement. In the blink of an eye, it has been ten or three years."

"Jin ministers were young enough to be enshrined in the Zhu Kingdom and proud of the imperial court. In the past, old friends in Beijing and China were all envious. The two generations of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion have received the state's grace, and they are all extremely human ministers. It has been more than [-] years since the completion of the Great Jin Dynasty. It is the time to usher in a prosperous age, and we should never go against the trend of the times, and the pros and cons, the Jin ministers have been involved in the court deeper, so there should be no need to repeat it."

"The change of the throne is a matter of the emperor's family, and the title of the heavenly family has been determined, so I and other officials should no longer intervene in it. Pingnanhou's Mansion intercedes, Pingnanhou's Mansion is still Pingnanhou's Mansion."

……

The content of the letter is very long, but it is roughly the above content.

After briefly looking at it, Li Shen casually threw the thing back into Li Yan's hands, and then showed a smile on his face.

"Ye Ming, he only knows how to fight and doesn't study, and he also imitates other people's writing. It seems very awkward."

Li Yan took the letter paper, read it up and down, then looked up at Pingnanhou with a calm face.

"Brother, what does he mean by writing this letter?"

"Can't read the words?"

Li Shen said calmly: "Firstly, it was to persuade us to surrender. This is probably the little emperor's intention. The imperial court doesn't really want to be hard on us, so as long as they can get the crown prince back, they will probably hold hands temporarily."

"Secondly, this Ye Shaobao wants to play tricks on his own."

Li Shen narrowed his eyes.

"This guy wants to disturb my army's morale."

Li Yan has never been out of the southwest, and he doesn't know much about Ye Ming. He lowered his head and hesitated, and asked, "Brother, is this Ye Ming...?"

"amazing……"

Li Shen sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "He went to Jimen Pass alone in his 30s to take over the Zhenbei Army. The Zhenbei Army is very different from the Pingnan Army. It is not the Ye family's private army, It is the army of the imperial court, Ye Ming only took less than three years to completely take over Jimen Pass, and in the next ten years, the Zhenbei Army at Jimen Pass has not lost a single defeat against Can Zhou."

"It's my father Ye Cheng, it's nothing more than that."

Having said that, Li Shen sighed slightly.

"If he leads troops, he won't easily enter the mountains of Shu County."

........................

When Ye Ming's army was approaching the southwest day by day, the "logistics" troops led by Li Xin were also slowly approaching the southwest.

Because of the need to escort food and grass, their speed was somewhat slower than that of Ye Ming, but Li Xin was not in a hurry. He set up camp when it got dark, and set off after the sun rose, heading southwest all the way unhurriedly. .

But Muying is very busy.

Because he wanted to help Li Xin contact the adherents of Nanshu in the southwest.

At this time, the time has come to the middle of February. This is a season when the grass grows and the warblers fly. The wild flowers on the roadside stretch out and bloom colorful and beautiful petals. But it is a pity that it has just reached the most beautiful time in life. It was trampled mercilessly by a group of incomprehensible people.

A beautiful wildflower decapitated.

The culprit was dressed in black, with two people following behind him.

The two people were black and white, and the black-faced man lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, Li Xing, His Royal Highness of the survivors, wants to come to see you."

After several years of official career, Mu Ying has somewhat forgotten her identity as a survivor, and now she has separated from those survivors of Southern Shu intentionally or unintentionally.
