Unparalleled Concubine

Chapter 553 An Zhi Tianlei Will Not Reappear?

It was already two days later when Li Xin received Li Shuo's letter.

The content of the letter was very simple. He asked Li Xin to send troops to pretend to attack Jincheng and create opportunities for him.

To be honest, this requirement is not too much, but it is risky.

Today's Li Xin, as long as he defends Mianzhu, he is invincible, but if he sends troops out of the city, he will not have such an advantage at all.

In case Li Shuo wanted to trick his main force out of the city and set up an ambush near Jincheng, Li Xin's troops did not have many horses, and the Pingnan army chased them out, and there was basically no way to escape.

So Zhao Jia did not approve of Li Xin sending troops.

The county magistrate of Mianzhu said to Li Xin in a deep voice, "Master Hou, this Li Shuo...is from Jincheng, his words cannot be trusted."

"We don't need to take that risk."

Li Xin nodded with a smile and said: "Brother You'an said that, of course, I can't let my brothers risk their lives just because of his letter."

"However, it's not impossible to give Li Shuo's suggestion a try."

Zhao Jia frowned slightly.

"What do you mean by Lord Hou?"

"If you want to divert Li Shen's attention, there is no need to send troops to attack. I have another way."

"Whether it will be successful or not is Li Shuo's business, we just need to watch quietly."

After figuring out how to deal with it, Li Xin sent a letter back to Li Shuo, delaying the time for three days.

Five days after Li Shuo agreed in the letter, that is, the third day after Li Xin received the letter, and then postponed for three days, that is, six days later.

After writing this reply letter, Lord Jing'an sat down again and wrote a second letter.

Both letters were sent to Jincheng.

After asking his subordinates to deliver the two letters, Zhao Jia returned to Li Xin and lowered his voice: "Master Hou..."

Lord Jing'an squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Now that the king's army is approaching the city, as the leader of the vanguard army, there is nothing wrong with me going to persuade the rebels to surrender, right?"

Yes, Li Xin's second letter was addressed to Li Shen.

Today, among the four lieutenants of the Pingnan Army, Li Yan is in Jiange, another lieutenant Cheng Ping died under Mianzhu City, and the other two lieutenants are not the core missions of the Pingnan Army. As long as Li Shen is called out of Mianzhu, It is much more convenient for Li Shuo to do things in the city.

The two letters were sent into Jincheng one after the other.

Of course, the letter sent to Li Shuo is relatively more secretive. It was sent by Li Xin secretly to Li Shuo. As for the letter sent to Li Shen, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, it is much more open and aboveboard. It was sent by Li Xin. A messenger swaggered into the city and sent it to General Pingnan's mansion.

This emissary, named Wei Jian, was a personal guard from the Habayashi guard who followed Li Xin. He was Li Xin's first team member. He was about the same age as Li Xin, but he had been with Li Xin for two years. It's been a long time.

After Wei Jian reported his background at the gate of Jincheng, it didn't take long for him to successfully enter Jincheng. Under the leadership of a Pingnan Army soldier, he came to General Pingnan's mansion in Jincheng.

After waiting for more than half an hour in the front hall of General Pingnan's Mansion, Wei Jian finally saw General Li Shen. He stood up from his chair and without saluting, he just took out a letter from his sleeve and held it in his hand. .

"By the order of Lord Jing'an, come to deliver a letter to Pingnan Army Li Shen."

General Zhu Guo frowned.

"What kind of official and product do you dare to call me by my name?"

Generally speaking, only elders or superiors can directly address names, even if they are addressed by elders, it is extremely impolite, and peers generally call them Biaozi.

Calling someone by their name is no different from pointing their noses at someone.

Wei Jian raised her head high.

"I'm recruiting the eighth-rank school lieutenant of the Western Army."

Li Shen took the letter and sneered: "The people brought out by Li Xin don't know the rules like this?"

"That depends on whom."

Wei Jian was neither humble nor overbearing, and said lightly: "If you are speaking to the court's Lord Pingnan, Li Shen, the general of the Zhu Kingdom, I will naturally be polite, but it is a pity that there was a fire in Pingnanhou's mansion two years ago. The general of the country and his wife have unfortunately died, and now I am here to deliver a letter to the southwestern rebel Li Shen, why should you be polite?"

Li Shen was expressionless.

"Young man, it's fun to talk for a while, but you have to know that this is Jincheng, and your Marquis Jing'an will behave well when he comes here, because he knows that this Marquis can kill anyone at any time here. people."

"Master Hou is keeping a useful body in order to make achievements."

Wei Jian said with a smile: "It's different for me, since I'm here, I won't be afraid of death."

Li Shen glanced at Wei Jian expressionlessly.

If it was Pingnanhou in the past, if someone talked to him like this, and he was still talking to him like this on the ground in Jincheng, he would have been decapitated by now.

But now, Li Shen also has scruples in doing things.

He didn't look at Wei Jian again, but stretched out his hand to open the letter in his hand.

The content of the letter was very ordinary, to the effect that Li Xin would set up a reed 500 miles outside Mianzhu City, and invite him to meet in a few days, with [-] people from each side.

Crossbows are not allowed.

The two sides have always been at war, and this kind of meeting is not uncommon. Sometimes when the fighting is in full swing, we can talk to each other with Lu Peng, and the battle will not be fought.

Of course, there were also people who ambush the swordsmen and caused bloodshed under the reeds.

Li Shen remained expressionless and continued to read.

He had no interest in going to the appointment, because after meeting Li Xin, the two sides could not reach any conclusions, and he might be ridiculed by that proud young man. There is really no need to humiliate himself.

But Li Xin mentioned a sentence at the end of the letter, which made General Zhu Guo's pupils shrink.

"If the general is missing, how do you know that the Mianzhu sky thunder will not reappear in Jincheng?"

This is a blatant threat.

The story of Mianzhu City being blown open by a thunderbolt from the "Chunyang Immortal" has spread to Jincheng, at least Li Shen has heard of it, so the meaning of Li Xin's words is very obvious.

If you don't come, I'll let the gate of Jincheng be blown open.

Li Shen read the military newspaper in Mianzhu in detail for countless times.

There is only one sentence about Mianzhu breaking the city.

On the evening of the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, the city gate of Mianzhu was suddenly torn apart by a huge force.
