Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 476 Must Win

When Emperor Wu sent Li Zhijie and Ye Sheng to go south and north, Ye Ming was also in the capital as a "quality". Unfortunately, he was ten years older than Li Shen and the Emperor Chengde, so he couldn't play it. Go together, but they really know each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are old friends.

  Li Shen shook his head slowly and muttered to himself.

   "The little emperor transferred him back from the north, so the fourth child of the Ye family should be the Zhenbei Army who took over Jimenguan."

   "The little emperor dares to delegate power to the Ye family so much, he is a little more courageous than his father."

  Although he called the Emperor Taikang and the false emperor on the bright side, in fact he still recognized the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

   Li Shen is also reluctant to say those hypocritical words in private, so he is called the little emperor.

   As for the Ye family…

At the beginning, Ye Sheng was imprisoned in the capital for more than 30 years. It was because Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde were too jealous of the Ye family. The entire Chengde Dynasty and the Ye family were not able to get much development, but in the Taikang Dynasty, Because of the meritorious deeds of the Ye family's succession, Emperor Taikang continued not to maintain the policy of the previous two generations.

   Of course, part of the reason for this is because Ye Sheng is old enough.

   He was too old to fight, too old to pose any threat to the imperial power, so Emperor Taikang relaxed his control over the Ye family, allowing the two brothers of the Ye family to control two major military forces at the same time.

   For these so-called emperor's mind tricks, Li Shendong is like watching fire.

   Then he started to read the letter.

   "Jin Chen and my younger brother Taijian."

  …

   "The last time my brother and my younger brother met was in the old days of Chengde. At that time, the emperor had a holy birthday and the capital was full of excitement.

"Young Jin ministers were granted the title of Zhuguo, and they were proud of the court. In the past, the old friends in Beijing were all envied. The two generations of Pingnan Houfu have received the country's favor, and they are all extremely noble officials. It has been more than 30 years since the completion of the Jin Dynasty. It is the time to welcome the prosperous world, and we should never go against the times and go against the trend, the benefits and the benefits, the Jin ministers have been involved in the court more deeply, and there should be no need to repeat them.”

"The change of the throne is a matter of the emperor's family, and the status of the heavenly family has been determined, so my ministers should no longer intervene in it. Jin ministers were confused for a while, but fortunately they were not deeply involved. As long as Jin ministers are willing to send the abolished prince back to Beijing, the foolish brother can replace him. Pingnanhou Mansion pleads for mercy, Pingnanhou Mansion is still Pingnanhou Mansion."

  …

The content of the    letter is very long, but it is roughly the above content.

   After a brief look at it, Li Shen threw the thing back into Li Yan's hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

   "Ye Ming, he only fights and does not read, and he also learns other people's prose, which looks very awkward."

  Li Yan took the letter, looked up and down, and looked up at the calm-faced Marquis Pingnan.

   "Brother, what did he mean by writing this letter?"

   "Can't read the words?"

   Li Shen said lightly: "The first thing is to persuade surrender. This is probably the intention of the little emperor. The court doesn't want to be **** us, so as long as they can get the prince back, they will probably do it temporarily."

   "Secondly, this Ye Shaobao wants to play tricks."

  Li Shen narrowed his eyes.

   "This fellow wants to mess with our army."

  Li Yan had basically never been out of the Southwest, and he didn't know Ye Ming very well. He lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then asked, "Brother, this Ye Ming...?"

"amazing…"

Li Shen sighed slightly and said solemnly: "He went to Jimenguan alone to take over the Zhenbei Army in his thirties. The Zhenbei Army is very different from the Pingnan Army. It is not the private army of the Ye family. It was the army of the imperial court, Ye Ming took over the Jimen Pass in less than three years, and in the next ten years, the Zhenbei Army of Jimen Pass had not suffered a defeat against Can Zhou."

   "It's my father Ye Sheng, it's just like that."

   Having said this, Li Shen sighed slightly.

   "If he leads his troops, he will not easily enter the mountains of Shu County."

  …………

   When Ye Ming's army was approaching the southwest day by day, Li Xin's "logistics" troops were also slowly approaching the southwest.

Because of the need to **** food and grass, their speed was somewhat slower than Ye Ming's side, but Li Xin was not in a hurry, he set up camp when it got dark, and set off when the sun rose, all the way to the southwest. .

   But Mu Ying is very busy.

   Because he wanted to help Li Xin contact the survivors of Nanshu in the southwest.

At this time, the time has reached the middle of February. This is the season when the grass grows and the warbler is flying. The wildflowers on the roadside stretch out and bloom with colorful and beautiful petals, but it is a pity that it has just reached the most beautiful time in life. He was ruthlessly trampled on by a group of people who didn't understand the style.

   A beautiful wildflower is headed away.

   The culprit was dressed in black and followed two people behind him.

   These two people were black and white, and the black-faced man lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, Li Xing, the great highness of the survivors, wants to come to see you."

   After several years of official career, Mu Ying has forgotten her identity as a remnant, and now she has been separated from those remnants of Nanshu, intentionally or not.

   This is quite normal. No one wants to be a shameless rebel all their lives. Since there is no way to succeed in rebelling, then they should honestly follow others.

   Li Xin, who was wearing black clothes, stepped on the head of a wild flower, then turned around and said to Mu Ying, "When is he going to come?"

   Originally, Li Xin's strategy for the southwest was to use the Mu family as a prying board to shake the situation in the southern border, but it was a peaceful time. Once the war broke out, the strength of one Mu family would not be enough.

  Li Xin needs the help of His Royal Highness Nanshu.

   Coincidentally, the remnants of Nanshu were also a little unhappy with the banner supported by the Pingnanhou Mansion. After all, they had a hatred of destroying the country with Dajin. How could it be possible to support a prince of Dajin with integrity?

   "It is estimated that we will leave in the next two days."

   Mu Ying said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, he is probably in a hurry now. The more Li Shen plays the role of a loyal minister over there, the more pressure he faces."

  Li Xin said with a smile: "Send him a letter and tell him to be careful when he leaves Shu, and don't let Li Shen find out, otherwise the Marquis of Pingnan might not allow him to come out like this."

   "Don't worry, Lord Hou, Li Xing is a cautious person. Since he wants to see you, he will definitely be fully prepared."

   Li Xin nodded, turned around and continued to walk in front of the two with his hands behind his back.

   Suddenly, Li Xin looked back at Zhao Jia.

   "Brother You An, give me your opinion on the situation?"

   Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to hear, Lord Hou?"

   "Tell me, will Ye Shaobao and Li Shen fight immediately, and what will be the outcome?"

   "There won't be a fight for the time being."

   Zhao Jia's tone was firm.

"Most of Ye Shaobao's food and grass are in the Hou Ye, logistics does not allow, he will not take risks easily, as for the Pingnan Army, they are fighting against the world with a corner, and they do not dare to take the initiative to attack, so let's see below. , Before the Hou Ye and Ye Shaobao meet, they will not fight."

   Li Xin said lightly: "If they fight, who will win?"

   Zhao Jia bowed his head and hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "That's most likely the Pingnan Army will win."

   Li Xin looked back at the scholar from Chen Guogong's mansion and said with a smile, "Why do you see it?"

   "Because the Pingnan Army can't afford to lose."

   Zhao Jia lowered his head and said.

   "So this first battle, they have to win."
