Unparalleled Concubine

He just thought of this, before he could say anything, Ye Ming on the other side spoke.

"Even if Li Shen defends the Jianmen Pass, he still has enough energy to estimate Jincheng. Even if you pass through Chang'an, you probably won't be able to do your best. What I mean by brother is that when you cross this road and reach the vicinity of Fu County , and began to pretend to be the main force to interfere with Li Shen's sight, as long as the Pingnan Army at Jianmen Pass retreats, Brother Wei will have a chance to take Jianmen Pass."

"Once the Jianmen pass is broken, there will be no obstacles to Jincheng. With the background of the Pingnan Army, it can last for a year and a half at most. At that time, the situation in the southwest will basically be settled."

Lord Jing'an scolded his mother secretly in his heart.

It turned out that I didn't let myself be Deng Ai, but I wanted to make myself a target!

However, Ye Ming's proposal is still very pertinent. Given the difficulty of the Jianmen Pass, Ye Ming must retain at least 10 people, which means that the maximum number of people who will be given to Li Xin is 5 to [-], and they have to pass through the gate. The long Yinping ancient road, even if Li Xin crosses the Yinping ancient road to the Jincheng city, it is unlikely that he will be able to enter Jincheng, but as long as he can attract the defenders of Jianmen Pass, give Ye Ming a chance to win Jianmen Pass , even if this matter is accomplished.

It's just that Ye Ming didn't expect that Li Xin still has a moderate force in Jianmenguan.

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then he said, "Brother, when are you going to start this plan?"

"There's no rush now."

Ye Ming sighed slowly, and said: "As soon as we come, it will be midsummer. According to those mountain people, there will be no people in the mountains in this season, and it is basically impossible to pass through this place. Brother means to wait until entering." After autumn, start immediately."

"During this period of time, if you write a letter to His Majesty on behalf of the Brotherhood, His Majesty is impatient, so he probably won't refuse."

Li Xin blinked his eyes and said, "Brother wants to fight the Jianmen Pass head-on, I'm afraid there are not enough people."

"Should be enough."

Ye Ming said slowly: "At that time, Chang'an, you will still try to enter Shu from Yinping with those three Zhechong mansions. Brother, there are still five Zhechong mansions, plus [-] Jingzhou soldiers, and this time, brother Chief Feng Xingjun, you can recruit soldiers on the spot, as long as the imperial court supports us to conquer the Southwest, it will be enough no matter what."

This is the dominance of being a general in this era.

The army of this era, apart from the Forbidden Army and the Pingnan Army, is generally not a standing army. Some people of the right age will be forcibly captured in the barracks to serve as leading soldiers, and they will be dragged to the battlefield with a knife. , they are not even able to form an formation, and the overall combat effectiveness is very limited.

However, miscellaneous soldiers also have their advantages, that is, to the general, the lives of these miscellaneous soldiers are not valuable, even if their death can create a little space for the elite, the general will sacrifice them without hesitation.

Frankly speaking, it is cannon fodder.

Of course, among these cannon fodder, there will be a group of survivors who have successfully entered the elite because of their military exploits.

That's what Ye Ming meant by conscription. As long as the resources in the back of the court are constant, he can always conscript troops on the spot, grinding the Pingnan Army to death and dragging them to death at Jianmen Pass.

Li Xin hesitated for a long time, and finally bowed his head slowly.

"Senior Brother Ye thinks how sure is this plan?"

Ye Shaobao shook his head: "Because no one was able to lead troops through this mountain road before, so I don't know what kind of situation it is now. You shouldn't let Chang'an do it yourself for such a dangerous thing. A captain Zhechong is carrying it, but if the surprise attack on Jincheng is successful, it will be a huge credit, and this credit must belong to you in Chang'an."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming said in a low voice: "Of course, if you don't want to go to Chang'an, it's understandable as a brother. After all, you just got married and don't have any children yet."

Li Xin glanced at Ye Ming silently.

"Brother, what do you mean, if I don't want to go, let Ye Mao go?"

Ye Shaobao nodded and said: "Regardless of whether you go to Chang'an or not, Maoer will go. If you go to Chang'an, you can take care of him. If he goes alone, can he move the three Zhechong mansions?" Let’s put it aside, he may not even be able to pass through successfully.”

To put it bluntly, I just asked myself to take that fat nephew with me.

Li Xin bowed his head and thought for a long time, finally nodded and agreed with Ye Ming's statement.

He is not from a military background, nor can he be regarded as a complete general, so for these marches and wars, Li Xin only learned some laymen from Ye Cheng, but one thing that is particularly good about Lord Jing'an is that he never You can fool around, and you have to listen to the professional when you should listen to the professional.

In terms of fighting, Ye Ming, who has been immersed in the military for most of his life, has never been afraid of anyone, so Li Xin chooses to trust this senior brother.

Anyway, he is not here.

The two discussed in the study for a whole night. It was not until the cock crowed the next day that Li Xin lazily stood up from his chair and stretched his waist.

"Brother, I'm here first today, I can't bear it anymore."

"When senior brother wants to do something, he should inform Li Xin. Li Xin is duty-bound."

Ye Ming was quite emotional, and said loudly to Ye Mao who was waiting outside: "Don't peek, you've been so sneaky all your life, why don't you just look at it openly?"

"Chang'an, he didn't sleep all night last night. You can send him off for Weifu."

Ye Mao in the capital city can be regarded as the little overlord of the capital city. The bad things in the capital city before made him understandable. Even his grandfather Ye Cheng sometimes couldn't control him, but in front of his old father Ye Ming, Ye Mao was like a wilted chicken, not daring to breathe.

He sent Li Xin out suspiciously.

"Uncle Li, what did father tell you?"

Li Xin shook his head and glanced at Ye Mao.

"Your father, he said that you are melon..."

Chapter 492

When Ye Ming and Li Xin in Jingzhou City were thinking hard about how to enter Shu, the memorandum written by the two of them asking for a suspension of sending troops was also sent to the capital by urgent delivery.

What was sent to the capital together were not only the memorials of the two, but also the family letters written by Li Xin and Ye Ming to their families. The reason why they were sent together was that not everything could be rushed at the speed of six hundred miles. When they were sent to the capital, the two of them could be regarded as enjoying the honor of playing books.

However, these things were not sent to the homes of the two of them, but were all sent to the Shangshutai, and the ministers headed by Zhang Qu put these memorials on the table.

It is worth mentioning that since Zhang Qu became the witness of the enthronement edict, his position as chief assistant has become more and more stable, especially after Huan Chu stepped down, basically none of the other prime ministers will be different from him Opinion, this Lord Haoran has become the undisputed leader of civil servants in the new dynasty.

However, the impact of that incident at the beginning was both good and bad. The good is that Emperor Taikang will always reuse Zhang Qu, and the bad is that he will inevitably bear the infamy of "soft bones". There are many people behind the scenes Said that he saw the wind and made the rudder and so on.

But these are minor details, as long as the Taikang Dynasty is still there, Duke Haoran's position will not be shaken.

He first looked at these letters, then picked out Li Xin and Ye Ming's family letters from inside, handed them to the servants around him, and said, "Go and send them to the respective mansions of the two generals. here?"

As soon as he said this, the other four prime ministers followed suit.

In fact, the family letters of the generals who lead the army abroad are usually read by the court either explicitly or secretly. Li Xin and Ye Ming sent the family letters through this channel, and they don't mind them reading them too much, but Zhang Xiang is obviously a gentleman. Disdain to do such a thing.

After he spoke, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything more, so they went down with their family letters in hand.

Then there is the memorial book sent by two people.

Generally speaking, Shangshutai has to take a look at the memorial books sent from various places. It does not mean that they have priority over the emperor, but that they have to select the more important ones and hand them over to the emperor. State affairs, an emperor certainly cannot handle.

But for Ye Ming and Li Xin's joint memorial, they had to show the emperor first.

Lord Haoran looked at the names of Ye Ming and Li Xin on the envelope, and frowned slightly.

Even though the two of you have a good personal relationship, you shouldn't be named together at this juncture. Ye Ming has also been in court all his life, so why can't you figure it out?

But these things have nothing to do with Zhang Qu after all. He held the envelope in his hand, glanced left and right, and said, "Southwest military affairs should be the most important thing at the moment. Let's not look at it first. I'll go now." Weiyang Palace, face to face with His Majesty."

Several other people nodded repeatedly.
