Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 480 Front

  The middle of March in the second year of Taikang.

  The vanguard led by General Ye Ming finally reached the edge of Shu County, but Ye Ming did not continue to rush westward, but stopped at a heavy city outside the border of Shu County.

   This is Jingzhou City.

Jingzhou in Dajin is not the Jingzhou of the Great Jiuzhou, but just a Jingzhou mansion, but the location of this Jingzhou mansion is very crucial. It can basically see all the paths of the Pingnan army out of Shu, and it is regarded as an important gateway for Shu County to go out of Sichuan. , Ye Ming chose to be stationed here.

   Then for a whole month after that, he did not do anything other than send someone to investigate the situation in Shu County.

  As Zhao Jia said, the two sides did not fight.

   One month later, it’s April.

   At this time, the spring flowers were almost in full bloom, and Li Xin led about 50,000 people to the vicinity of Jingzhou City.

   Zhao Jia followed him on horseback and looked up at this big city with an extremely important geographical location together with Li Xin.

   "Brother You'an is right, the two really didn't fight."

   Zhao Jia bowed his head slightly and said respectfully: "Ye Shaobao is very experienced in leading his troops. What we can see, he can also see, so he didn't rush into Shu."

  Li Xin shook his head.

"If it drags on, the court has the ability to drag the Pingnan Army to death. After all, there is only a Shu county, and it is unlikely to compare with the court, but His Majesty will not allow him to do nothing in Jingzhou. At most, there will be more In a month, Senior Brother Ye will fight if he doesn't want to fight."

Zhao Jia lowered his head and sighed: "I heard that the rumors in the southwestern counties have been rampant recently, that Pingnan Marquis is sparing no effort to promote that the current His Majesty is a usurper, and he has a real abolished prince by his side. In this case, It is indeed unlikely that Your Majesty will allow Uncle Ye to drag on like this."

   Li Xin suddenly smiled.

   "Brother You'an, what does the chaos in the southwest think will end?"

Zhao Jia raised his head, gave Li Xin a meaningful look, and said, "If Lord Hou does not intervene, according to my calculations, the situation in the Southwest will continue to stalemate, but at most five years, the Southwest will no longer be able to support it. , and was finally wiped out by the imperial court."

Having said this, after a pause, he continued: "And the imperial court will also consume a lot of vitality in the past five years, and the prosperous situation that the previous emperor managed to manage will disappear. If the current His Majesty handles it improperly, even Let the country's fortune take a sharp turn and go into decline."

   Having said this, Zhao Youan raised his head and glanced at Li Xin cautiously, and finally said solemnly: "And once Lord Hou is involved, it is not something I can calculate. Lord Hou alone is enough to completely reverse the situation in the Southwest."

  Li Xin smiled slightly.

   "Brother You'an looks at me too highly."

During the two months on the road, Li Xin met Li Xing three times in total, and Mu Ying's father Mu Qing twice, but the matter about the Rebel Army has never been discussed. , he could not easily hand over the lifeblood of the survivors of Nanshu to Li Xin.

   Therefore, Li Xin's control over the situation in the southwest is still extremely limited.

   And Zhao Jia didn't know what connection Li Xin had with the survivors of Nanshu, so what he said just now sounded like flattery.

   Zhao Jia gave Li Xin a faint glance, and finally smiled.

   "It's Lord Hou, you underestimate yourself too much."

   "At the beginning, the situation in the capital city was due to the earth-shaking changes of the Marquis. A mere southwest area is much smaller than the capital city."

   While the two were talking, Jingzhou City was already in sight.

  Li Xin turned his head and said calmly, "I instruct everyone to set up camp on the spot, and don't go in and out without military orders, and wait for orders."

   followed the nearby messengers, and immediately sent the order.

   And Li Xin led Zhao Jia and Mu Ying to find Ye Mao, the young master of Zhechong, in the army.

  The march of more than two months and nearly three months made the young man's face darker. After seeing Li Xin, he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "General Li."

   No matter what the relationship is in private, but in the army you should be called whatever you want. This is a compulsory course for Ye Mao, the young master who came from a general family and has a strict family education.

   Li Xin patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Get on the horse and go out with the general."

   "Take you to find your father."

   Ye Mao's heart moved, and then nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll be right here."

   On this day, when Li Xin's department was still outside Jingzhou City, Li Xin and other four people rode horses and entered Jingzhou City.

When they got to Jingzhou City, Li Xin and others saw that Ye Ming's army was also stationed outside Jingzhou City. Can't stand it.

  Fortunately, Li Xin had already received the news in advance and knew where Ye Ming was now, so he directly entered Jingzhou City and rushed towards the State Mufu Mansion in Jingzhou City.

   When it was almost noon, the four finally arrived at the prefecture and shepherd's house where Ye Ming was.

  Because Ye Ming's identity is far more than that of a local official like the state shepherd, as soon as he entered Jingzhou City, the state and shepherd's mansion naturally became Ye Ming's temporary residence.

After being informed by some personal guards, Ye Ming, who had noticeably more white hair soon, appeared in front of Li Xin. After seeing Li Xin, this uncle Ye was immediately excited. He stepped forward and took Li Xin's hand and smiled wryly. Said: "Li junior brother really came, if you don't come again, I don't know what to do for my brother."

   He only focused on talking to Li Xin, without even looking at Ye Mao next to him.

   The shadow in the young master's heart grew a little bigger, and the look in Li Xin's eyes became even more resentful.

  Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother Ye, what do you mean by that?"

Ye Ming said with a wry smile: "Rumours are spreading all over the southwest now, and some of them have even spread to the capital. His Majesty is inevitably furious when he sees it, and he sent someone over a few days ago to give us a note, asking us to destroy the southwest as soon as possible, the sooner the better. , Although my brother wanted to do it, but the logistics were insufficient, so I waited until today."

   "The imperial court ordered 500,000 stone grains to be escorted, and now they have reached the outskirts of the city, just waiting for Senior Brother Ye to check and collect."

   Having said this, Li Xin smiled.

   "The Ministry of Household will continue to raise food and grass in the future. Brother Ye can fight with the Pingnan Army in the front, and the younger brother will try his best to ensure the logistics of the brother."

   Li Xin glanced at Ye Ming again, and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother Ye, how is the situation in the southwest now?"

   Ye Ming glanced at Li Xin, and finally sighed slowly.

   "I thought that the best way for my brother would be to drag them to death slowly, but obviously, His Majesty will not allow such a way."

   General Ye's voice was low.

   "If nothing else happens, we're going to hit the front..."

   It's very difficult to write the story of the war. If Calvin doesn't say it, it's so slow to write...
