Unparalleled Concubine

"Fight dead!"

Chapter 537 Two Great Generals

If the Southwest issue is regarded as a progress bar, the progress bar is at most about [-]% when Mianzhu City is taken down, but the problem is that Mianzhu is the bottleneck of this "progress bar". It is unimpeded, as long as it can be completed step by step.

That is to say, from the perspective of the Pingnan Army, after losing Mianzhu, there would be no city to defend in the Southwest except for Jincheng. But compared to the background of both sides, this is only a matter of time.

General Zhu Guo, who has always been calm and calm, now has a slightly distorted face.

His hand holding Xu Zhen's front was trembling faintly.

It took an indefinite amount of time before Li Shen let go of Xu Zhen's lapel. This general's clothes had already been torn several times by Li Shen.

"Who else knows about Mianzhu?"

Xu Zhen bowed his head and said: "The last general came to see the general at the first time, and no one knew about it except the general."

Li Shen said dumbly: "Block all news, and don't tell anyone about the fall of Mianzhu."

They were originally rebels. If they win every victory, their morale will naturally be high, but once they lose a battle, they will immediately panic. If the news of Mianzhu's disappearance spreads, the people in the city may tie Li Shen up and open the city. Men Xiancheng surrendered.

Even within the Pingnan Army, they will lose their fighting spirit.

So this news cannot be spread in any case.

Xu Zhen hesitated for a moment, and said, "General, you will understand if you do this."

"But the defenders in Mianzhu are on their way back to Jincheng. They can return to Jincheng at the most the day after tomorrow. There are nearly [-] of them, and there are so many people. It is impossible for the general to keep each of them silent..."

Li Shen was expressionless.

"You set up camp outside the city right now, and when they come back, you can live there. No one is allowed to enter without the general's order."

Xu Zhen sighed, bowed his head and said: "Since the general insists, the last general will do it."

Speaking of this, the general lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "General, the last general thinks that paper can't cover the fire, and the general should find a way to get back Mianzhu..."

"It's none of your business."

Li Shen slowly closed his eyes.

"Go and sort out the Mianzhu battle report and send it to me, I want to see it."

Xu Zhen nodded and stepped back slowly.

After Xu Zhen retreated, Li Shen didn't move for a long time. He turned around and sat down under a pavilion, taking deep breaths.

It was difficult for the Li family to start a business.

This branch of Pingnanhou's Mansion was separated from the Li family of Zhaojun. Now Li Shidao, the head of the Li family of Zhaojun, is commensurate with Li Shen's uncle and nephew, and is quite polite to Li Shen. This is because the Pingnanhou's mansion is now The family is big and the business is big, and the Li family of Zhao County is attached to it.

However, since the two brothers Li Zhijie and Li Zhili separated from the Li family of Zhaojun, it means that they are not the main line. He started as a school officer and gradually became a general who later led the army to fight.

It's difficult, and it's not enough for outsiders.

Later, Li Zhijie risked his life to take Nanshu, and was willing to take risks to manage his own foundation in Nanshu, which was then passed on to Li Shen.

There are thousands of difficulties and dangers in it, and only Ping Nanhou, who is the person involved, knows best.

It is for this reason that Li Shen regards this family business as more important than anything else, even far more important than his own life.

He has been running around for more than ten years, and he has gone through a lot of hard work, just to be able to keep this family business, so that the Pingnan Hou Mansion and the Pingnan Army can continue to exist.

But now, his lifelong wish was stabbed severely.

If Pingnanhou's Mansion is like a mirror, then if Mianzhu is lost, this mirror will be full of cracks, and it is only a matter of time before it shatters.

At this moment, he was very uncomfortable, very, very uncomfortable.

Because the foundation that old master Li Zhijie handed over to him is in jeopardy!

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shen slowly stood up from under the pavilion.

No matter what the situation is, no matter what he has to face, he, the backbone of the Southwest, cannot fall at this time. If he falls at this time, the Pingnan Army will soon completely collapse.

If he can hold on, Pingnan Army still has a chance.

Li Shen walked slowly to the front hall. His wife, Mrs. Yu, was sitting in the front hall, waiting politely.

Every big family has its own rules. For example, when the husband is at home, it is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Yu to eat first.

At this moment, she was a little bit relieved from the grief of losing her son. When she saw Li Shen approaching, she showed a smile on her face and said with a smile, "Why did Lord Hou come, the dishes are a bit cold."

Li Shen looked as usual, and forced a smile on his face.

"It's nothing, I have some military affairs to deal with."

"Let's eat."

General Zhu Guo sat down and was about to pick up his chopsticks when he coughed violently because of depression.

Madam Yu took out a handkerchief, helped him wipe his mouth, and then saw a bright red color on the handkerchief.

Obviously, General Zhu Guo vomited blood.

This noble girl from the Zheng family in Xingyang turned pale with shock.

She stood up, stretched out her hand and patted Li Shen's back, her tone was so anxious that she almost lost her voice.

"Master Hou, what's wrong with you?!"

Li Shen took a few breaths and shook his head at his wife.

"nothing."

"It's much more comfortable to cough out."

…………

When Jincheng received the news, Ye Ming and Ye Shaobao also received news from Li Xin. The second-generation boss of the Ye family picked up the letter and opened it. He just glanced at it and his eyes lit up. .

In the letter Li Xin wrote to him, he didn't say much about specific details, but he did mention some details about the achievements of the little father-in-law Ye Mao.

For example, Ye Mao stormed Fucheng, for example, Ye Mao pursued the Pingnan Army, and nailed Cheng Ping, the number three figure of the Pingnan Army, with a long spear.

These are all Li Xin's goodwill towards the Ye family, and also his answer to the Ye family.

At the end of the letter, Li Xin wrote a sentence lightly.
