Unparalleled Concubine

Li Xin looked at Li Shuo and asked with a half-smile, "If I remember correctly, it was the two lieutenants of the Pingnan Army who led the Pingnan Army out of Jincheng. They listened to you?"

There were four or five lieutenants in the Pingnan Army. Cheng Ping and Li Yan died in the Western Expedition, but the other two lieutenants did not die. They left Jincheng with [-] to [-] Pingnan Army and found An Sheng. place.

Otherwise, Li Shuo was still a 16-year-old boy, how could he lead 10,000+ people on a long journey?

Li Shuo's expression was calm: "You two uncles, I have the final say."

Lord Jing'an looked at him with admiration.

"How did you do it?"

Li Shuo said quietly: "The middle-level generals of the Pingnan Army all recognize the blood of the Marquis of Pingnan. The younger brother has been in the Pingnan Army since he was a child, so he will naturally be able to take charge when he grows up."

"Tsk tsk."

Lord Jing'an sighed a few words, and said with a smile: "It's not easy. It seems that the two generations of Pingnanhou have managed very well in the southwest. Otherwise, don't say that you, the blood of Pingnanhou, is the blood of the emperor. It's so useful."

Li Xin smiled, and continued: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out when you come to the capital alone?"

"On your way into my Hou's mansion, there are at least dozens of pairs of eyes looking at you."

"I came in directly."

Li Shuo lowered his head slightly: "My brother already has a little understanding of the situation of my brother. If I had been watching outside the Jing'an Hou's mansion, I would have been arrested by the people of the Jin court at this moment, but I walked directly to the gate of the Hou's mansion. After entering the Hou's mansion, no one will do anything to me."

As he spoke, he looked up at Li Xin.

"As for whether the little brother can go to the capital or not, it depends on the elder brother."

"You're very brave."

Li Shuo lowered his head and smiled wryly: "It's not that he's very courageous, it's that he has no other way."

He looked up at Li Xin, gritted his teeth and said, "To tell the truth, brother, Muying and others in the Southwest were able to successfully take down Jiange, and the Pingnan Army under my younger brother... also contributed their strength."

"In these years, the group of people who left the capital at the beginning had a bad life."

"Without my elder brother, my younger brother has no way to take them to settle down in the southwest. No matter what, my younger brother must meet my elder brother."

Regarding the situation in the Southwest, Zhao Jia had written a letter to Li Xin to explain it, but now everyone in the Jing'an Hou Mansion was closely watched, and the letter could not be delivered in a daze.

Therefore, Li Xin only learned about the current situation in the southwest from Li Shuo.

He sat under the pavilion, quietly looking at the young man in front of him who was somewhat similar to himself, with a smile on his face.

"Honestly, you're too impatient."

"If you can wait a few more months, when the Hanzhou Army comes out, you can still wait for a price. At this time, if you can't wait to participate, it will be difficult to ask for a good price."

Chapter 794 Quiet Mimi's Decree

Only [-] Hanzhou troops are far from being able to control the Southwest. After all, let alone the Southwest, there are more than a dozen state capitals in Shu County alone, and dozens of state capitals in the entire Southwest. With only [-] Hanzhou troops, It can only stick to a few cities. If the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops really overwhelm, it will be difficult for the Hanzhou army to resist.

Even if there is thunder, they can only defend the city. They will be surrounded for a year or two, and if they are not beaten to death, they will starve to death.

Therefore, the Hanzhou Army is very short of manpower. If Li Shuo can wait patiently for a few more months, or a year or two, when the court sees the flaws in the Southwest and the Hanzhou Army is too busy, he will really be like Li Xin. That being said, a good price can be negotiated.

But not now.

Li Xin sat under the pavilion, glanced at Li Shuo, and asked slowly, "To what extent can you control the Pingnan Army?"

Li Shuo frowned slightly.

"What does brother mean by this sentence?"

Li Xin took a sip of tea and said calmly: "You are also a smart person. I don't need to say more about some reasons. No one will let himself have a formed army by his side. Therefore, the Pingnan Army under your command must be split up. .”

"I need to break them up and organize them into the Hanzhou Army. The [-] people who fled from Jincheng back then could not live in the same city, but had to disperse into various state capitals in the southwest."

Li Shuo took a deep breath.

"Brother, the Hanzhou Army has 5 people, and the Pingnan Army under my command has almost 5 people. In a real fight, no one may be able to beat the other. Brother, don't bully others too much."

Li Xin smiled but said, "You have already made up your mind to cooperate with the Hanzhou Army, otherwise you would not take the risk of coming to see me in the capital."

Li Shuo's face froze.

Lord Jing'an said with a smile: "As you said, the strength of the Pingnan Army is not much different from that of the Hanzhou Army. In a real fight, the Hanzhou Army may not be able to defeat the Pingnan Army, but you are so fast. I made up my mind that I must have seen something from Zhao Jia."

"Am I not wrong?"

Li Shuo let out a long breath.

"Brother Gao Ming."

Lord Jing'an continued to smile and said: "You said just now that I should not go too far. Indeed, the conditions just now were a bit too much, but when everyone comes out to negotiate terms, there must be a process of negotiation. I am a lion, and you can sit back and pay back the money." .”

"Since we want to work together, we can always negotiate a result."

Sitting opposite Li Xin, Li Shuo frowned and thought for a long time before finally saying, "Brother just said that my Pingnan Army should be incorporated into the Hanzhou Army. This younger brother can accept it, but the generals of my Pingnan Army will be in the Hanzhou Army. Leader of the State Army."

Li Xinxin glanced at Li Shuo with appreciative eyes.

This kid is very good, and he can understand everything.

He smiled and said: "There is no problem, you and Mu Ying can discuss it slowly."

Li Shuo took a deep breath and continued: "In this way, the Hanzhou army is quite large, and it is quite cumbersome to gather in one place. The Hanzhou army will be divided into two. General Mu will lead one army, and I will lead the other." military."

Li Xin shook his head: "In this way, the Pingnan Army is not merged into the Hanzhou Army, but the Hanzhou Army is merged into the Pingnan Army. The counter-offer is not as good as you."

Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Then divide one into three and station in various places in the southwest, and I will lead an army."

Lord Jing'an smiled: "Relax a bit, talking about prices is not about fighting, it's better to talk about it in a friendly manner."

Li Shuo whispered to himself.

This is not talking about price, but dividing the future Southwest!

"I agree with this. When you go to the southwest, you can slowly discuss the regulations with Zhao Jia."

Having said that, Li Xin looked at Li Shuo.

"It's just that your control over the Pingnan Army is not to the point where you can only disperse them into the Pingnan Army?"

Li Shuo said in a deep voice, "I have been in the Pingnan Army since I was thirteen or fourteen years old. In the past few years, I have been in charge of the Pingnan Army. My words are useful."

Lord Jing'an nodded with a smile.
