Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 984
Chapter 984 Breaking the game
Now that the northern side is really fighting, it is an unstoppable fact that the Yuwen Department enters the customs, but as long as the Zhenbei Army sticks to it, the Yuwen Department will suffer heavy losses even if it enters the customs. Li Xin means that the Xianbei Department can enter the customs, but it cannot exceed Five hundred miles, we must try our best to control the impact of the war within a certain range.
This is a very difficult thing to do. First, Li Xin is not a general of the imperial court, nor does he serve in the imperial court. Although he has soldiers under his command, it is impossible to pass through the imperial court to manage affairs in the north, nor is it likely to do so. .
From a rational point of view, what Li Xin, or the Southwest, should do now is to wait for the trouble in the north, take the opportunity to raise troops, and lay a fortune for himself for a thousand generations, but doing so will inevitably lead to loss of life and blood. , but in his last life, he was just an ordinary ordinary person, and he did not have the kind of heroic heart that would prefer me to the world. Compared with those big men, in his eyes, the life of ordinary people is also life.
At this time, the entire Southwest Group was pushing him forward. It was impossible to retreat or stay in the Southwest. Li Xin had to do something.
After hearing Zhao Jia’s words, Li Xin said, “I have a plan in my heart that can control the situation in the northern Xinjiang and at the same time let the southwestern army out of Shu, but this plan is feasible or not, and it needs to be carefully discussed after Mu Ying returns. “
Zhao Jiada frowned, he looked at Li Xin, and sighed slowly: “Master Hou, you are also someone who has read history books. All kinds of emperors and heroes in history books are full of dead bones. Even if their parents are cooked, they can With the cruel words of “take a piece of the pie”, Lord Hou, let go of the thought of compassion, you are still young, as long as we occupy the capital, there will be time to clean up the old mountains and rivers in the future.”
Li Xin sat in his place, closed his eyes, and did not speak.
I have to admit that even if he has achieved this position today, he is still an ordinary person in his bones, at best a smarter ordinary person, and his thinking and concepts are still too different from those of the big men. His sons and daughters were arrested, and he couldn’t say the cruel words “take my share of the soup”.
But in life, you always have to follow your own heart and blindly pursue profits. In the end, there may be one more hero in the history book, but one less Li Changan.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then said, “I want to try the best of both worlds.”
After speaking, he stopped talking, closed his eyes and thought about things, and after another half an hour or so, Mu Ying in a military uniform rushed to Li Yuan from outside the city. Before he entered, he turned to Li Xin. He cupped his hands and said, “What’s the matter with Hou Yezhao’s subordinates?”
Li Xin opened his eyes and slowly exhaled: “Let Brother Youan tell you.”
Zhao Jia picked up the piece of information from the table, handed it to Mu Ying, and said indifferently, “This is the news from Jizhou, the Yuwen Department has been holding it back all winter, and finally it can’t hold it anymore. , It is estimated that it has already fought with the Zhenbei Army, and the situation in the north of Dajin is in chaos.”
Mu Ying doesn’t have Zhao Jia’s ability to do everything with one eye and ten lines. After he carefully read the letter, his eyes lit up.
The fellow slapped his thigh and shouted, “Isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, there is chaos in the north of Ji’s family, I can take this opportunity to go out to Shu and point my sword at the capital, now the Ji family has lost the spirit of Emperor Wu’s time, and there is no more. …I don’t believe that they can still balance the north and the south, and fight on both sides!”
He wanted to say that Ye Sheng was here, but there was a disciple of Mr. Ye who was there, so he kept his mouth shut.
Mu Ying bowed her hands to Li Xin with some excitement.
“Master Hou gave the order, we have been preparing for so many years, and we can’t hold back for a long time!”
Li Xin opened his eyes, took a deep look at Mu Ying, and said, “Brother Mu, now that the Southwest Army is out of Jianmen Pass, facing Hanzhong’s 100,000 troops and Ankang Peijin’s 50,000 troops, what are the odds of winning? ?”
“Ten percent!”
Mu Ying answered without hesitation, he said excitedly: “In recent years, Jincheng has produced a lot of Tianlei, and we have been training for so many years, even if it is still not as good as the Pingnan Army of the year, it is not much worse. Now, going out of Shu to face the imperial army at this time is just a question of how much to pay, and there is no question of whether or not to win!”
Although there are only 150,000 or 60,000 people in the southwest, the military quality of today’s military is close to that of the elite Pingnan Army. With the blessing of Tianlei, and the familiarity with the terrain of the southwest, the 150,000 people installed by the imperial court at the southwest gateway are not enough. It is very likely to prevent the Southwest Army from going out to Shu.
Of course, after the Southwest Army has left the Southwest, there are still many chances of winning against the Gyeonggi Imperial Army, which is unknown.
“Well.”
Li Xin opened his eyes and said slowly: “Go ahead and prepare your army for battle, while waiting for the news from the north. Once the fighting in the north is fierce, you and Li Shuo, Mu Ying, will lead 50,000 people each to go out to Shu and attack Hanzhong, Ankang. !”
Hearing Li Xin’s words, the dark-faced Mu Ying almost flashed red, and he immediately stood up, bent over to Li Xin and clasped his fists: “Subordinate, your honor!”
Zhao Jia, however, heard something different. The envoy in white frowned, looked at Li Xin and said, “What about you, Lord Hou?”
Li Xin grinned: “Since I resigned from office, the emperor has issued five imperial edicts to call me back to Beijing, and the kindness is hard to resist.”
“After a few more days, the news from the north becomes clearer, and I will leave for Beijing.”
Having said that, Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia and said slowly, “Go clean up the mess.”
Mu Ying’s face changed greatly when she heard the words, and Zhao Jia seemed to have guessed something, and was not surprised. He looked at Li Xin and sighed deeply: “It is indeed feasible to do this, but Lord Hou, you go there yourself. , too risky.”
“No one else can do it except me.”
The Lord of Jing’an looked calm, he turned his head to look at Mu Ying, and said with a smile: “As long as Brother Mu is not bragging and can really defeat the imperial army, then I will be absolutely safe in the capital, and the better the battle in the southwest will be. , my voice in the capital will be louder.”
Having said this, Li Houye paused, then half-squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: “Of course, Brother Mu can also deliberately lose this battle and let me die in the capital.”
Once Li Xin died, the southwest was under the residence of the King of Shu, and the current King of Shu was Mu Ying’s son, so Li Xin would say such a sentence and beat the Mu family a little.
Mu Ying was in a cold sweat, he thumped, knelt in front of Li Xin, and kowtowed: “Master Hou, this subordinate will never have such thoughts!”
“Up and down the southwest, there will be no such thoughts!”
Zhao Jia, who was dressed in white, stood up from the chair. He tidied up his clothes and bowed respectfully to Li Xin.
“Frankly speaking, I still don’t support Lord Hou in Beijing, but no one can change the things that Lord Hou has decided over the years. That being the case, I will not persuade him.”
“I read history when I was young. There are countless heroes in the history books. They have been leading the way for decades, and they are all over the world. They are either decisive or invincible. It is fascinating to read.”
Having said this, Zhao Jia sighed and said to Li Xin: “When they were young, they were all people Zhao Jia admired. Now that they are middle-aged, they suddenly feel that there is a lack of humanity in them.”
“Compared with them, Hou Ye, you are more like a living person.”
