Unparalleled Concubine

It's almost midnight now.

But you have to go.

Li Xin sighed and stood up slowly.

"Go and reply, just say I'll be there right away."

Chapter 490 Yinping Ancient Road

It has been a long time from Li Xin to Jingzhou City, but because there were no major incidents during this period, both sides were just waiting and watching for Chen Bing, so Ye Shaobao didn't make any big moves, even if he wanted to Talking to Li Xin is also during the day, so there will be no urgent matter.

This time, it was the first time he sent someone to look for Li Xin in the middle of the night.

In terms of the positions of both parties, Ye Ming is the general manager of the Southwest March this time, while Li Xin is assisting him as a general of the Forbidden Army. Xin cares about these things, but Li Xin should listen to what he said.

After thinking for a while, Li Xin couldn't think of any clues. He went back to the house and changed his clothes, and under the guard of several Habayashi guards, he left the house at midnight.

In the middle of the night, Jingzhou City was quieter than the capital city. Except for the chirping of insects and the sporadic barking of dogs in early summer, no sound could be heard.

Li Xin was riding on the horse, and had no time to take care of the night view of Jingzhou City, because it was not too far from the State Shepherd's Mansion, and the group arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion in only one stick of incense.

At the gate of the state pastoral mansion, a member of the Ye family had been waiting for Li Xin for a long time. Seeing Li Xin approaching, he immediately helped Li Xin lead the horse, then bowed his head and said, "Master Li, the general is waiting for your promise."

Li Xin nodded: "Take me to see Senior Brother."

While speaking, Li Xin got off his horse, and the Ye family threw the reins to the people around him, and then led Li Xin all the way to the back hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion. In the study, Li Xin saw Ye Shaobao, who had shouldered a huge responsibility this time. .

This General Ye has not been able to sleep well in the past few months. First, he has to think about the situation in the Southwest War, and second, he has to take into account the interests of the court. In just half a year, the whiteness of his temples has increased a lot. Looks a little older again.

Because of the earlier marriage in this era, Ye Ming is actually not much younger than his father Ye Cheng. Ye Sheng should be 73 years old this year, and this General Ye is 56 years old this year.

56 years old may not be a big deal in later generations, but in this era, especially among soldiers, it is already considered an advanced age, and generally people will not live to this age.

When Li Zhijie, the first Marquis of Pingnan died of illness more than ten years ago, he was about the same age as Ye Ming is now.

Old men like Ye Cheng, who are still in good health in their 70s, are considered outliers in this era, and they are also birthday stars.

After seeing Ye Ming, Li Xin bent slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Brother looking for me?"

Ye Ming was looking at the map of the Southwest. After hearing Li Xin's words, he woke up like a dream. He stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Li Xin to sit down, and sighed slightly.

"Troubled in the middle of the night, disturbed Chang'an Qingmeng."

Li Xin shook his head with a smile: "Senior brother is the general, and he should give any orders. Besides, I have something to do today, and I haven't slept yet."

Ye Ming nodded slightly, he pulled Li Xin to sit down beside the table in the study, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Chang'an, look, this is the map of Southwest China that I got for my brother, it's a map that a scholar-bureaucrat in the old Southern Han Dynasty groped for dozens of times. It was drawn in [-], and it can be regarded as the best in the world in terms of its degree of sophistication. Is this picture available in the Yamen of the Military Department of Tulian? It took a lot of effort to get it for my brother."

When talking about this sentence, even with Ye Ming's city, he was a little proud.

In this era when surveying and mapping are extremely difficult, it is very difficult to have an accurate map. Generally, generals rely on one or two extremely crude maps to fight battles, and basically rely on local people to lead the way, otherwise it will be easy. get lost.

Li Guang, the parachutist in Li Xin's world, got lost many times.

The reason why Ye Ming stopped in Jingzhou Mansion and refused to enter Sichuan is because the terrain in the Hundred Thousand Mountains is so complicated that even the locals sometimes can't figure it out. He didn't dare to enter Sichuan until he was fully sure. .

Li Xin took a serious look at the map, then compared it with the Land of Abundance in the later generations in his mind, and finally shook his head slightly.

I don't know if there is something wrong with this map. The Bashu on the map is quite different from the Bashu in his world. Maybe it is because this is a completely different world, but it is similar to another world.

Maybe it's because the map is... so rough.

"Senior brother, I don't quite understand this picture. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you can do it, you should try your best."

A smile appeared on Ye Ming's face.

"Brother Wei came up with a way to break Shu. If this method works, we don't have to waste time here with Li Shen and the others. If the plan goes well, we can enter Jincheng at the end of the year at the end of the year!"

Li was stunned in confidence.

A large part of the reason why this southern border is difficult to deal with is because of the terrain. Not to mention the mountains here, there are also many places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The general has only been in Jingzhou for half a year, and he can solve the problem that the Jin court has been troubled for 30 years?

Ye Ming didn't see Li Xin's surprised look, but pointed on the map with his hands.

"Look, Chang'an, this is Jiange."

Ye Shaobao said in a deep voice: "More than 30 years ago, Lord Li Zhijie came to Jiange from Hanzhong, and then was blocked by this sword gate for more than five years, and finally gnawed down Jiange forcefully, so that he was able to break through Mianyang , into Jincheng."

There are several fan screens in the southwest, the outermost ones are Hanzhong and Jingzhou, and the inner part is Jianmen Pass of Jiange. If Jianmen Pass is lost, the enemy can go straight to Mianyang Hanzhou, and then reach the city of Jincheng.

When Li Zhijie entered Shu, there was no other way but to bite the bullet and fight all the way in from Jianmen Pass. At the same time, because Li Shi, the emperor of Southern Shu at that time, was too dizzy and changed his generals many times, Li Zhijie broke through. After Jianmen Pass, they entered Jincheng like a broken bamboo all the way.

Ye Ming went on to say: "That's how the Pingnan army entered Shu at the beginning, so Li Shen has deployed heavy troops in Hanzhong and Jianmenguan. If we fight hard like Li Zhijie for more than five years, the imperial court will give money to people." , most of them can be chewed off."

"But at that time, the loss will be too great."

Ye Ming was gesturing on the map while talking.

"There are only 14 people in the entire Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army. We are not allowed to gnaw at Jianmen Pass like Li Zhijie, so we have to find another way."

"Originally, Brother Wei couldn't think of any good way, but a few days ago, a man from Shu told Brother Wei that besides Jianmen Pass, there is another way to enter Shu."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger at a hill to the west of Jiange, with an excited expression.

"According to the local mountain people, there is a long mountain road here, which can cross Jianmen Pass and go directly to Fu County."

Ye Ming took a deep breath and said, "So Brother Weiwei is going to lead people to attack Jianmen Pass from Hanzhong, but another person has to lead people to attack Jincheng from here, so Li Shen is not prepared. At the end of the year, the situation in the southwest deal!"

He looked at Li Xin with piercing eyes.

"Chang'an, are you willing to lead troops in a surprise attack?"

Li Xin's eyes stayed on Ye Ming's fingers, and he was speechless for a long time.

This road is clearly the Yinping Ancient Road...

This Senior Brother Ye wants to be Deng Ai himself!

But this road is said to be extremely difficult to walk, and there are six or seven hundred miles of mountain roads.

What's more, there is no one in Jincheng who surrenders every minute...

Chapter 491

Deng Ai from another world walked this road for several months without mentioning it, and because he had to cross the extremely dangerous terrain of Motianling, when the army he led barely bypassed the Jianmen Pass and arrived in Fu County, he was killed. Nearly half of the troops have been lost. Although Deng Ai was able to surprise the capital of Shu in the end, it can be seen from this how difficult this road is.

The reason why someone told Ye Ming that this road can be walked is because most of the people who told him were mountain people. These people grew up in the mountains, and any rough trails are like walking on flat ground, but for those who have never walked the mountain road, this is a road Very difficult way.

More importantly, if you pass through the Yinping Ancient Road, you can achieve the effect of Deng Ai. Li Xin gritted his teeth and waited for others to leave. The problem is that the Pingnan Army has plenty of troops, and they can defend Jiange and Jincheng at the same time. Li Shen It's not the Adou who offered the city to surrender. Even if Li Xin went through untold hardships and got under the city of Jincheng, he might not be able to win Jincheng.
