Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin scolded with a smile: "Stop flattering, write a letter to Senior Brother Ye, tell him that he can start attacking Jianmenguan, and our army will support them in Mianzhu, and if necessary, we will help them lay down the Jiange from the rear."

Zhao Jia responded and went down to write a letter.

Only Li Xin was left alone, sitting on the desk in the study with lowered eyebrows, his eyes were dim, and he looked in the direction of Jincheng.

"Li Shen, if you lose, you have to admit it."

"It's useless to cheat."

..............................

On the other side, Li Shen, the great general of the former Zhu Kingdom of the Great Jin Dynasty, also returned to Jincheng.

The general was dressed in an ordinary blue robe, and his hair had turned gray before he knew it. His expression was no longer as firm as before, but rather dazed.

After years of hard work, it will be wiped out in a year or two, and no one can bear the blow.

Li Shidao, the patriarch of the Li family in Zhaojun, was enshrined in the Pingnan General's residence. After seeing Li Shen's return, the patriarch of the Li family went up to greet him and grabbed Li Shen's sleeve.

"Jin Chen, how did the talk go?"

It was his idea to lead Li Xin's troops into Jincheng by feigning surrender. Now that Li Shen is back, he is naturally a little concerned about what is going on.

There was no expression on Li Shen's face, he just lowered his head and said, "Uncle, let's talk in the study."

Li Shidao nodded, and the two entered the study of General Pingnan's mansion together.

Someone came and poured tea.

Li Shen lowered his head and took a sip of the tea, only to feel that his mouth was full of bitterness.

There was silence in the study.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Shen finally said slowly, "Uncle, start moving the family."

Li Shidao raised his head in astonishment, and looked at Li Shen.

"Jin Chen, you..."

Li Shen was expressionless, but said word by word: "In any case, the inheritance of the Li family in Zhao County for nearly a thousand years cannot be broken by my uncle or me."

Li Shidao was stunned for a long time, and finally murmured: "That Li Xin, didn't you take the bait?"

"This kind of game may be able to deal with other young people who are greedy for merit, but it can't be hidden from him."

For normal young generals, such as Ye Mao, if they heard that Jincheng was going to open the city and surrender, it would be like a huge contribution to his head. I have fallen into the trap of inviting you into the urn.

Speaking of this, Li Shen's voice was a bit bitter.

"That Li Xin doesn't act like a young man at all."

Li Shidao took a few deep breaths, and finally his tone was a bit cold.

"Zhaojun's family prestige is gone, and everyone in the family has followed you to the southwest. If you let us go now, where can we go?"

"Go wherever you can."

Li Shen closed his eyes, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Uncle, I have lost my mind now, this matter is completely wrong, and it is all my fault, I have underestimated the imperial court."

"I also underestimated this Li Changan."

Li Shidao felt extremely resentful.

But he didn't dare to turn against Li Shen. No matter what, Li Shen was still the undisputed leader of the Pingnan Army. If he offended him, he might die immediately.

However, the Patriarch of the Li family was still resentful.

He stood up and glared at Li Shen.

"The five thousand-year-old families are all destroyed in your hands!"

Li Shen raised his head and glanced at Li Shidao lightly.

"Uncle, that's not right."

"Since Ye Sheng conquered the Northern Zhou Dynasty more than 30 years ago, the Northern Zhou clan has been in decline. At the end of the Chengde Dynasty, among the officials of the Li family in Zhao County, the tallest person was Li Ji, the general of the Habayashi Guard."

"Most of the other families are also in name only."

"Even without this time, the Northern Zhou family would not be far behind."

"It's my uncle and other families who want to bet on the Southwest and participate in this gamble, hoping to turn around in this gamble and return to the glory of the Northern Zhou family."

Having said that, the haggard General Zhu Guo raised his head and glanced at Li Shidao.

"Uncle, if you lose the bet, you have to admit it."

Chapter 563 The Suffering Couple

On the surface, the Pingnan army's rebellion this time was the result of the Li family's rebellion.

But at its root, it is actually the struggle to the death of the Northern Zhou family that began to decline more than 30 years ago.

More than 30 years ago, that reckless man led the imperial army and pushed all the way. First, he pierced the huge and cumbersome Northern Zhou Dynasty, and then spent a few years to completely send the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which was tribute to the world with the family, into the world. in the grave.

Since then, the decline of the family is inevitable.

It's just that the power of the family was too large at that time, even Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty didn't dare to eradicate the family in one go, so he could only choose to suppress and weaken the power of the family bit by bit, and boil the frogs in warm water.

For more than 30 years, the influence and influence of the two generations of emperors and clans have dropped to a freezing point, so they began to fight to the death, trying to turn around by taking advantage of the opportunity in the Southwest.

Looking at the overall situation, the starting point of the Southwest riots was that various places began to lie about the disaster situation, then publicized that the emperor was immoral, and finally attacked the emperor for stealing the country.

These are the handwriting of the family.

But in the face of the general trend, all efforts are in vain.

Emperor Taikang was the last gravedigger to dig the graves of these aristocratic families, and the current Li Xin is the shovel in the hands of Emperor Taikang.

Just like what Li Xin said, if you are willing to gamble and admit defeat, if you lose the bet, you must admit it.

Li Shidao was a little excited.

He patted the table with his right hand trembling, and growled, "I have more than 2000 people in the Li family of Zhao County in Jincheng. Where do you want them to go, to go into the mountains and become natives?"

"As long as you can survive, you can do anything."

Li Shen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Uncle, at this point, both you and I have to understand the situation clearly. I can still protect my family and go out of the city to find a way out, but after a while Time, when Ye Ming arrived at Jincheng City, neither the family nor I had a chance to leave the city."
