Unparalleled Concubine

Li Yan was also a little surprised. He said in a low voice: "These people are all high-level officials of our Pingnan Army. If they really want to betray Big Brother, they can find a better way. There is no need to leak the news..."

The top leaders of the Pingnan Army, each of them can lead tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Li Yan means that if these people intend to betray Li Shen, they can use more drastic methods, and even directly let the Pingnan Army Greatly hurt.

The implication of Li Yan's words is that it is unlikely that someone close to him betrayed him.

Li Shen lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then thought of a possibility, he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Since Ye Ming is going to fight Hanzhong, he may have guessed that I am coming to Hanzhong, if he guessed it, it means you I have underestimated this Ye patriarch's son."

Li Yan's face also changed. If Ye Ming relied on calculations to figure out that Li Shen would appear in Hanzhong at this time, then this opponent would be a bit scary.

At this time, neither of the two big figures in the southwest thought that Ye Ming could guess that Li Shen might appear in Hanzhong because he was reminded by a young man.

The young man's surname is Zhao Mingjia.

It was precisely because of Zhao Jia's reminder that Ye Ming was a little vigilant about Hanzhong, but he sent someone to deliver a letter to Hanzhong to a large extent to test whether Li Shen was in Hanzhong.

This kind of temptation has no cost. If Li Shen is not in Hanzhong, Hanzhong will be transferred to Jincheng. If Li Shen is in Hanzhong, then he is right.

Li Yan took a deep breath and said, "Brother, if Ye Ming is trying to test us, then we can send this letter to Jincheng immediately, so that Ye Ming won't know our pulse."

At this time, where Li Shen is is very important, because it is directly related to whether Hanzhong will increase its troops, and how Ye Ming will fight Hanzhong.

Li Shen shook his head slightly.

"If this letter was sent out as soon as it was sent into Hanzhong, it might be able to confuse Ye Ming, but at this time it has already been sent to the Hanzhong General's Mansion, and the matter will be exposed."

The reason is very simple. As a general of Hanzhong, Meng Qi would never dare to block or pass through Li Shen's letter. If he received this letter, he should send it to Jincheng immediately. There is not enough time now.

"What does that brother mean?"

Ping Nanhou closed his eyes slowly, and said: "Ye Ming has already talked about this, and if I don't see him again, I will be looked down upon by him. You should write back to him and tell him that after three days, I will be here Shi Quan is waiting for him."

When the two sides are at war, if the main general wants to meet, there must be an unwritten rule, that is, if one of the parties proposes to meet, the other party is responsible for determining the time and place, and the number of people is generally 200 people each.

The meeting was proposed by Ye Ming, so the time and place should be decided by Li Shen.

Shiquan is a county seat about a hundred miles outside of Hanzhong City. There is no garrison in the city, so it is suitable for two people to meet.

Li Yan nodded, and said yes: "My little brother understands, so I will go and give instructions."

Li Shen took a deep breath and said, "I can go then, but you don't want to go, he can be alone in Hanzhong, but he can't find that you are also in Hanzhong, otherwise when Ye Ming hits Hanzhong, will be more cautious.”

Li Yan nodded.

"My little brother knows."

………………

For the stalemate situation in the southwest, three days passed in the blink of an eye. Three days later, at the gate of Shiquan County, Li Shen, dressed in simple green clothes, sat quietly on his horse and waited.

Under such circumstances, both parties will definitely not enter the city. After all, no one knows whether the other party will arrange swordsmen or the like in the city, so the meeting place was finally arranged in Shiquan County Under a nearby gazebo.

The troops on both sides set up their positions and each was under martial law.

Li Shen, who was dressed in green, sat under the gazebo and waited for a while. There was a sound of horseshoes in the distance. An old general with gray hair and still wearing armour, jumped off his horse and walked into the pavilion with a smile.

Li Shen, who had been waiting for a while, got up quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li Shen, I met Brother Ye Shi."

Because the Li and Ye families have made great military exploits, they don't actually have any close friendships, and they don't dare to have close friendships. However, Ye Cheng and Li Zhijie were very close before, and the old man Ye has always regarded Li Zhijie in his eyes all his life. Therefore, the children of the two of them naturally have to be brothers.

Seeing that Li Shen was not wearing armor, Ye Ming immediately took off the armor on his body, threw it to his entourage at the side, and then politely returned the salute.

"It's rare that Jinchen is willing to come out to see me."

Ye Ming walked into the pavilion while talking, with a smile on his face.

"I remember that a few months ago, Brother Yu was still serving as a general at Jimen Pass. After he was recalled to the capital, he was shocked to hear that Jinchen's house was flooded and he couldn't come out. At that time, Brother Yu felt it was a pity, but he saw Jinchen again. Brother Yu is also relieved that you are still standing here."

Having said that, Ye Ming sighed with emotion.

"Who would have imagined that it would be like this after a hasty farewell back then."

Li Shen looked calm.

"It's the times that force people, not my brother's willingness to do it."

The two of them sat down under the pavilion while talking, Ye Shaobao lowered his eyebrows and said, "There is still room."

"You have a strong army in the southwest, and His Majesty does not want to fight you to the end. As long as you are willing to bow your head and hand over the abolished prince, brother Yu can guarantee that the imperial court's western expedition will stop here. Jinchen, you are still the court's Zhu Guo general."

"The southwest is still your southwest."

Lord Pingnan looked at Ye Ming with a smile.

"Brother Shi, you know better than anyone else that the court may give up this time, but there will be a next time soon. This time, the Pingnan Army still has a chance to fight back. If the court has accumulated enough power until the next time, I'm afraid it will be too late." We hit Jincheng in one go."

Having said that, Li Shen's face turned serious.

"How the current Emperor Taikang got the throne, Brother Shi should be clearer than me. He was originally just a concubine prince, and he was the youngest among the four princes in the capital. If he hadn't conspired to mutiny, how would he be able to sit in his current position? ?”

"Thanks to the fact that the late emperor favored him back then, and he was worthy of his younger brother. Now that the late emperor has died for no apparent reason, and the eldest son is living outside, how can the Jin officials have the heart to let His Royal Highness, who used to be the prince, return to Beijing to die?"

General Zhu Guo, who was dressed in green, had a serious expression on his face.

"It's amazing to sacrifice your wealth and life, and you should only repay the late emperor."

At this time, the deposed prince is the most valuable hole card in Southwest's hand. Li Shen knows this matter better than anyone else, and it is impossible for him to give up deposed prince at this juncture.

To give up is to drink poison to quench thirst.

Ye Shaobao sat opposite Li Shen.Putting his hands in his sleeves, he sighed helplessly.

"If you say these words, even Li Changan will laugh at you here, why bother to prevaricate Brother Yu?"

Hearing Ye Ming talk about Li Chang'an, Li Shen looked around, but he still didn't see Li Xin. He looked back at Ye Ming and frowned.

"Why don't you see that Lord Jing'an?"

Chapter 500 Three Generations of Heroes

The Southwest side knew about the fact that the troops from the west were divided into two groups before. After all, they sent people to follow Li Xin for a while. Although Li Xin sent Ye Mao to clean up these people, at least Li Shen knew that a part of the Western Zheng army had disappeared.

And the itinerary is still very hidden.

Although Li Shen didn't know that Li Xin was leading this part of the Western Expedition Army at first, but now that Li Xin was not around Ye Ming, he began to doubt it.

In the entire capital, Li Xin is one of the people he is more afraid of. After all, this young man who was originally in the mud climbed to his current position in less than two years, and gave Ping Nanhou The government has caused a lot of trouble.

The Marquis of Jing'an contributed a lot to Li Shen being forced to this path.
