Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 478 The Third Way

   Li Xing is an extremely critical figure in the situation in the southwest. He may not be a big boss at Li Shen's level, but no matter what, he can be regarded as a smart person.

   A wise man with a little heart.

This can be seen from his brother Li Fu who killed himself in the past. That little highness was clamoring all day to revive the Southern Han Dynasty, and even cut off cooperation with the Pingnan Houfu, which made all the people at the time. The remnants of Nanshu fell into a dangerous situation, so Li Xing urged him to go to the capital to "assassin" the emperor.

   That little Highness Li Fu, who was a bit of a middle schooler, really went.

   As a result, he died in the hands of Li Xin.

   Li Xin was involved in this matter, so he had a very deep impression of Li Xing.

   The two sat down in the tent, Li Xin waved his hand and let everyone go out.

   It was early spring, the cold was still heavy, and the tent was not like the capital, so charcoal could be burned in the furnace to keep warm. Li Xin threw a piece of wood in the brazier in the tent and sat down again with a smile.

   He looked at Li Xing lightly.

"Your Highness, you are a smart person. You should be able to see the situation in the southwest at a glance. Now Li Shen wants to support the abolished prince to rebel. None of the survivors of Nanshu under your command will be willing to cooperate with the Ji family. It is impossible to die on the battlefield for someone from the Ji family."

   Li Xin's words hit the spot.

  The cornerstone of the cooperation between the remnants of Nanshu and Li Shen is to fight against the court together. Although Li Shen is also fighting against the court now, he is fighting against the court in the name of the prince of the Ji family, which is completely contrary to the remnants of Nanshu.

   That is to say, even if Li Shen wanted to revolt with the survivors of Nanshu, Li Xing himself agreed, and those who remained at the bottom of Nanshu would not be willing to sacrifice their lives.

   This is why Li Xing came to see Li Xin today. He also wanted to find a way out of this predicament.

   The Highness picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and looked up at the Marquis of Jing'an.

   "Li Houye thinks, what should we, the survivors of Nanshu, do?"

Li Xin smiled slightly: "No matter what you do, the alliance between you and the Pingnan Army for more than ten years will at least be broken. Li Shen could have gotten along well with the imperial court. He will join forces with you and say nothing else. There is no problem in defending the southwest. , the imperial court is afraid of your two families, and has no intention of moving the southwest, but Li Shen is..."

   "Ambition is too heavy."

   Having said this, Li Xin paused.

"His Royal Highness should be able to see that the so-called abolished prince is just a puppet of the Pingnan Army, a banner raised by Li Shen. Li Shen doesn't want to stick to the southwest. Minister."

   Lord Jingan lowered his voice.

   "He even wanted to... be emperor."

   The above sentence is completely Li Xin smearing Li Shen, but the smearing is well-founded.

   The reason why Li Shen raised the flag to rebel was because the imperial court was about to turn against the southwest. If he did not respond, the Pingnan Army would fall apart within three to five years.

   But what is the specific attitude of the court, Li Xing doesn't know what Li Xin says is what he says.

   As a new noble of the court, and one of the generals in the court to conquer the southwest, what Li Xin said is undoubtedly very convincing.

   The Grand Highness of Nan Shu sat in his seat for a long time and was silent for a long time, he finally raised his head and looked at Li Xin.

   "What does Li Houye mean?"

   "Your Highness, you have no other choice."

  Li Xin's face was calm.

   "Li Shen has already raised his flag and rebelled. Your Highness may wish to think about the consequences."

"If he really wins and takes the abolished prince into the capital, His Royal Highness, the survivors of Nanshu who have "cooperated" with him, will become a stain, and you will not cooperate when he raises the army, he You must be resentful, and you will be the first targets he will eliminate."

   In this situation, it is inevitable that the cooperation between the survivors of Nanshu and Li Shen will break up, because at this time even if the Highness Li Xing is willing to continue to send troops to help Li Shen, the survivors of Nanshu under his command will not be willing.

   In other words, their best attitude towards the Pingnan Army is to wait and see, and it is impossible to help them.

   Li Xing's face sank like water.

  Jing'an Houye continued with a smile and said, "Then let's talk about the result of Li Shen's loss."

"The Marquis of Pingnan has been separated from the southwest for so many years, and the three generations of emperors in the imperial court all want to take back the Shu County. Once the Pingnan military is defeated, the imperial court will definitely start to take back the southwest. At that time, you, the survivors of Nanshu, will become the last obstacle, even if that When the imperial court is exhausted, they will grit their teeth and do everything in one fell swoop, holding all the Southwest in their hands."

  Li Xin smiled and looked at the great highness of Nanshu.

   "Your Highness, do you think what I said makes sense?"

   certainly makes sense.

What Li Xin is saying now, although it is only a deduction, it is almost certain to become a fact. Even Li Shen estimates that he can see these things, but there is no way. For him, the use of abolishing the prince is far better than these Nanshu. Leftovers, he had to make a choice.

  Li Xing was silent for a long time, and finally he said in a harsh voice: "Master Li...do you have any wine?"

  Li Xin squinted his eyes and walked out of the tent with his hands on his back. Then he brought him a small jar of Zhurong wine for "disinfection" and poured him half a bowl.

  Li Xing raised his head and drank half a bowl of wine before coughing.

   He has never drunk this spirit.

  Li Xin didn't speak, just stood and watched quietly.

   After a long time, the tent was quiet.

  Li Xing looked up at the young Marquis in front of him, then took a deep breath and said slowly, "What does Marquis mean, let us surrender to the imperial court?"

  Li Xin shook his head.

   "You can't accept a waste prince. It's not realistic for you to take refuge in the imperial court."

  Li Xing frowned.

   "What does the lord mean?"

   A smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

   "Why don't you take refuge... how about me?"

  Li Xing was stunned.

   He didn't understand why this young man who seemed to be only about twenty years old in front of him had the face to say such arrogant words.

   Take refuge in him?

   There are still 50,000 soldiers that can be fought by the remnants of Nanshu. If you count them according to the number of households, there are at least 100,000 households. This is an extremely huge force, which can almost be placed on the same level as the Dajin court!

  To take refuge in the imperial court, there is another saying.

   Take refuge with such a hairy boy, why?

   Li Xing was stunned for a long time, but finally he couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice, "Why?"

   "Why?"

   Li Xin first repeated a sentence, and then replied with a smile: "Just because you are now in a dead end, only I can build a third way out for you."

   "Only with today's Nanshu. If there is no Ben Hou, at most three or five years, you will no longer exist."

   Li Xing still didn't understand what Li Xin was talking about.

   "Master Li, I don't understand, how can you give us a life?"

  Jing An Hou Ye said with a smile.

   "You have to agree first, then this Marquis can talk."

   Seeing that His Highness frowned, Li Xin added indifferently.

   "Nanshu has been destroyed for more than 30 years. People who are alive should think about how to live, not about the dead in the past. Your Highness, do you think so?"
