Unparalleled Concubine

He thought about it, but felt that it was not appropriate, got up and said: "Forget it, I will go with you to meet him."

Who Li Shuo was, of course he was clear.

It is now the ninth year of Taikang. Six years ago, the imperial court pacified the southwest, and the huge Pingnanhou Mansion was wiped out in an instant. The Pingnan Army was also torn apart in that battle, but the Pingnan Army was not completely wiped out!

As one of the parties involved six years ago, Zhao Jia has stayed in the Southwest for so many years, and he knows the truth of the year better than anyone else.

Back then, Hou Jing'an Li Xin let go of nearly half of the Pingnan Army on purpose. After those Pingnan Army fled Jincheng, they disappeared. The border area of ​​Tubo occupied several small cities and survived in that uncontrolled place.

And the leader of these Pingnan Army is Li Shuo, the "only remaining" son of Pingnan Hou Li Shen!

The mansion is not very big, not long after, Zhao Jia arrived at the gate of the yamen, and he took a deep look at the young man in front of him.

Six years ago, Zhao Jia was still a young man of sixteen or seventeen. At that time, he was a little immature, and his mind was not very mature. However, Li Shuo at that time already had the courage to cooperate with Li Xin to make His Highness Ji Ku Bring out Jincheng.

It was also for this reason that indirectly led to Li Shen's surrender.

Now that six years have passed, the young man at that time has become a young man of 22.

However, this young man's skin is a little rough, and his complexion is not as fair as before. It is obvious that he has suffered a lot with Pingnan Army in the past few years.

Zhao Jia bowed his hands to Li Shuo.

"I've seen Mr. Li."

When Zhao Jia was looking at Li Shuo, Li Shuo was also looking at Zhao Jia. Upon hearing this, he immediately bowed his head in return: "Master Zhao, you are welcome."

Zhao Jia got up and turned sideways.

"Young Master Li is talking inside."

Li Shuo smiled slightly, and walked in generously.

He took away a total of [-] to [-] Pingnan troops from Jincheng back then. Even if six years have passed, these Pingnan troops may not all be able to fight, but they still have at least [-] combat strength. Strength, then Li Shuo is qualified to become a chess player in the southwest situation, or even the chess player of the whole world.

And why Li Shuo came here is still unknown.

Zhao Jia introduced Li Shuo into the living room of the yamen, and after the servants came up to serve tea, the Zhao family respected Li Shuo for a cup of tea, glanced at this young man who looked somewhat similar to Li Xin, and asked straight to the point: "Li Shuo The young master came to Jincheng, don't know what's going on?"

Li Shuo put down his teacup and said with a smile: "I heard that the Mu family rebelled, so I came to Jincheng to see the situation. I wanted to see General Mu, but I heard that Mr. Zhao had arrived in Jincheng on the way, so I came first. Visit Master Zhao."

"You can't be an adult."

Zhao Jia waved his hand and asked slowly: "Young Master Li, what is your intention here?"

Li Shuo put down the teacup in his hand and smiled slightly.

"My Pingnan army has been trapped in the mountains for five or six years. The days are very difficult. Now that the Hanzhou army is rebelling, I don't know if we can help the court to suppress the rebellion and restore the old Pingnanhou's mansion?"

Chapter 786

After stopping Li Shuo's words, Zhao Jia didn't even move his eyelids.

This kind of joke might make other people nervous, but someone like Zhao Jia who has been through a lot of ups and downs can see the flaws at a glance. He smiled at Li Shuo.

"Not to mention whether Mr. Li has the ability to help the imperial court pacify the Southwest, even if there is, it will be difficult to restore the old view of Pingnanhoufu, besides..."

Zhao Jia chuckled: "If Mr. Li really wants to do this, he shouldn't be here with Zhao at this time, but should be on his way to Beijing."

Li Shuo looked calm and did not refute.

Zhao Jia took a sip of tea and asked, "How has Mr. Li been these past few years?"

"very bad."

Li Shuo bluntly said, "That place is not a good place. Not only that, it is rare to trade with the outside world, and the food grown is not enough, so we can only risk our lives to rob the Tibetans in the west. Or go hunting in the mountains on a large scale to survive, so many people die every year."

Zhao Jia's pupils shrank slightly.

If the Pingnan Army followed Li Shuo to a place and settled down, and they all became farmers farming, then after five or six years, the remaining combat power of these Pingnan Army would be extremely limited, but if what Li Shuo said was true Yes, then the Pingnan Army has almost preserved its complete combat effectiveness during this period of time!

At least [-]% combat power.

That is the Pingnan Army, which was run by the Li family father and son for 30 years, and can compete with any frontier army! z

Today, the combat power of the Hanzhou Army is still a bit worse than that of the original Pingnan Army. If the Hanzhou Army does not have a sky thunder in its hands and confronts the [-] Pingnan Army head-on, it will probably end in defeat. .

Zhao Jia took a deep breath and looked at Li Shuo.

"Then why Mr. Li is here?"

"To survive."

Li Shuo looked calm, and said: "Although we have managed to survive in that place, the environment there is too bad, food and clothing are a problem, and even if the newborn grows up, it will not be strong in the future. Now there is Pingnan The soldiers are still there, and they can still support them, but sooner or later they will grow old and die, and if this continues, after one or two generations, we will gradually disappear there."

At the beginning, not only half of the Pingnan army left Jincheng, but also their family members, and tens of thousands of people fled west with Li Shuo!

These people occupied several cities in the west and barely survived, but as Li Shuo said, their quality of life was very poor.

Fortunately, they all recognized Ping Nanhou's blood Li Shuo, and Li Shuo was also a quite capable leader, so these people could survive in such a remote place.

But as Li Shuo said, this kind of lingering will not last long.

When Li Shuo said this, after a pause, he continued: "For the past five or six years, I have been sending people outside to inquire about the news. A few days ago, I heard that the imperial court conquered Hanzhou and the Mu family rebelled. The opportunity has come."

"But I wasn't impatient, and waited and watched for a while. After confirming that the Mu family was indeed rebelling, I set out to meet General Mu. On the way, I heard that Mr. Zhao had arrived in Jincheng, so I came to see Mr. Zhao first."

Zhao Jia chuckled.

"Since Mr. Li knows that the Mu family rebelled, he should go to General Mu. What's the use of finding me as a scholar?"

"Before, I thought that the rebellion in the Southwest was caused by the Mu family's minor troubles. I was still hesitating whether to come out to meet General Mu, but after knowing that Mr. arrived in the Southwest, I knew that the Southwest was really going to undergo major changes. "

Li Shuo looked up at Zhao Jia and said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, sir should be from my elder brother's family. When you arrive in the southwest, you are in charge of Jincheng. So is it understandable that the matter in the southwest is the responsibility of your elder brother?" handwriting?"

Facing this question, Zhao Jia did not avoid anything, he nodded slowly: "It can be said so."

Li Shuo's expression lifted, and he took a deep breath: "Where is brother, I want to see him."

Zhao Jia shook his head secretly.

In the final analysis, Li Shuo's news in the Southwest is still too closed. He only knows about major events in the Southwest, and it can be said that he doesn't know anything about the specific details.

"Master Hou is still in the capital."

Li Shuo frowned: "Brother, he is in the capital, how can the Southwest rebel? Will the emperor not kill people?"

Zhao Jia's expression was calm: "There is a rebellion in the Southwest, so the Marquis will be safe in the capital. To be specific, it's a long story. When Mr. Li meets Marquis one day, just ask him."
