Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 484 Nanshu Remnant

  Li Xin can see the importance of these Nanshu survivors. As Li Shen, who has the same vision as Li Xin, or even a little higher than Li Xin, naturally he can't see it.

Originally, these 100,000 remnants of Nanshu could not defeat the imperial court or the Pingnan Army, so they could only be used by the Pingnan Army obediently and became a key force in the balance of the southern border, but now the Pingnan Army has turned against the court, and it has That is, the balance is broken.

   In other words, the remnants of Nanshu became an important force in determining the balance.

   Of course, the remnants of Nanshu and the Pingnan Army are bound together, and they may not fight the court, or it may not be necessary to win the court, but as long as the remnants of Nanshu go to the court, the Pingnan army will be left and right, and it will not last long.

   In this case, Li Shen paid special attention to these Nanshu survivors. He personally came out of Jincheng, leaving the extremely heavy military affairs in Jincheng, and came to Hanzhou City.

You must know that in the past ten years, Li Shen has always held a high attitude towards these Nanshu survivors. Since he succeeded Pingnan Hou, he has never taken the initiative to come to Hanzhou City, but Li Xing took the initiative to go to Jinzhou. see him in the city.

   But this time, time has changed.

   In a relatively luxurious mansion in the center of Hanzhou City, Li Shen, the general of the Zhuguo in blue clothes, sat across the table with a man in white.

   Li Shen, who has always been unsmiling, was the same at this time, sitting calmly opposite Li Xing.

   Obviously, this is not the first time the two have talked.

   In fact, Li Shen has been living in this house for two days. He and Li Xing have also discussed three or four times, but they still haven't come to a conclusion.

The Marquis of Pingnan calmly brewed tea while calmly saying: "Your Highness, you have been talking about thinking about it for the past two days, and Ben Hou also patiently waited for His Highness here for two days. Now, I wonder if Your Highness has thought about it?"

For the past ten years or so, Li Xing has been somewhat afraid of Li Shen. At this moment, even if he is standing on the upper hand, he is inevitably a little scared. After hearing Li Shen say this, the corners of His Highness's eyes moved, and then he lowered his head and smiled bitterly. Said: "General, you also know the situation of Hanzhou City. Not all of these 100,000 survivors listen to me alone, and there are some other forces that are holding me. The general wants to let me in for a few days. Discuss with them slowly."

   Li Shen's eyes revealed a faint chill.

"His Royal Highness is the only remaining clan in the Southern Han Dynasty. Which of the remnants of Nanshu should not listen to His Highness? If His Highness has any rebellious people, this Marquis can act on His Highness's behalf and help His Highness clean up the door! "

   Li Xing let out a long sigh.

"General, at the time when Ling Zun led people to break through Jincheng, it was the Mu family who led the troops to rescue my father from Jincheng. At that time, the Mu family controlled the military strength. Later, although the Mu family was willing to hand over the power, their hands There are at least 10,000 or 20,000 people left, and if the general has the confidence to wipe out these 20,000 people, he can go now."

   "Anyway, those of us who have lost our country are unlikely to carry knives against our compatriots."

   Of course Li Shen wouldn't do that either.

   Originally, he came to Hanzhou City to seek cooperation. If he started with the Mu family, not to mention how many people he was going to die, at least the cooperation with the survivors of Nanshu would be broken.

   Li Shen took a deep breath and finally looked at Li Xing slowly.

"His Royal Highness, my Royal Highness the Prince of Jin has promised to help you restore your country. This is because the Crown Prince is in trouble and will have a perfect opportunity. Think about it, Your Highness, if you help the court, the fake sitting in the capital. Your Majesty, will you agree to the restoration of the Southern Han Dynasty?"

"You help the court, if I can't hold on to the peace of the southern army, the next people to be killed will be you old Shu people. In order to keep you safe, the Dajin court has not hesitated to station troops in the southern border for so many years. Your Highness should be able to understand, It is impossible for the Ji family to watch Nan Shu reappear in the world."

   "When they cross the river, the bridge will be demolished immediately."

   Li Xing was silent for a while, then glanced at Li Shen.

   "How does Li Xing know if the general will cross the river and demolish the bridge?"

   "This will require the Highness to go down and gamble."

   Li Shen said solemnly: "His Royal Highnesses on both sides must always occupy one side, otherwise people on both sides will find trouble with His Highnesses."

After hearing Li Shen's words, the great highness of Nan Shu was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered what Li Xin said not long ago, he took a deep breath, and said to Li Shen: "Don't hide the general, I'll go earlier. When I went to see a person, he also said in unison with the general, that there are only two ways to go in Nanshu today."

  Li Shen didn't speak, just looked at Li Xing lightly and asked him to continue.

   "However, that person was not like the general. He asked me to choose one. He said that the two paths would come to an end, and the survivors of Nanshu still couldn't escape the dead end, so he pointed me to the third path."

   Having said that, Li Xing did not continue.

   Li Shen was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Who is going down to see the Great Highness? Ye Ming?"

  Li Xing shook his head.

   "If I remember correctly, that person should be the son of the great general, and now the deputy general of the imperial court's expedition to the west, and the lord is the Marquis of Jing'an."

   Li Shen was stunned for a while, then he laughed.

   "Li Xin is not yet a weak champion. Does Your Highness believe in such a little baby, and do not want to believe in Li?"

   Li Shen is 43 years old this year, and His Highness Li Xing is over 30 years old this year. The two of them looked at Li Xin as if they were looking at a child.

  Li Xing said silently.

   "I secretly think that the truth is not all from the elders."

   "The Marquis of Jing'an was right. Which side of Nanshu I take now is basically a dead end."

   said, he looked up at Li Shen.

   "Let's not talk about helping you, the general, what will happen to us in the future, the junior only asks the general one word."

   Li Shen's face was calm.

"You ask."

   Li Xing said word by word: "If I, 100,000 households in Nanshu, fully support the general, and fight **** battle with the general, may I ask the general, what are our chances of winning against the imperial court?"

This sentence    asked Li Shen.

   The Great General Zhuguo of the Great Jin court was silent for a long time, and finally said honestly: "It will not exceed 30%."

   "The general is an honest man."

   Li Xing continued: "As the general said, if we help the general, we may not have waited until the day when we cross the river and demolish the bridge, and the imperial court will kill us."

   Li Shen was speechless.

   After a while, he stood up.

   "I understand what Your Highness means."

   He clasped his fists slightly towards Li Xing, his tone remained calm.

   "If His Highness is unwilling to help me pacify the Southern Army, then Li hopes that His Highness can remain neutral and not help the court."

   Having said that, Li Shen added another sentence heavily.

   "More than 30 years ago, the tragedy in Jincheng was caused by the Dajin court. As the royal family of the Southern Han Dynasty, don't forget this grievance."

   Li Xing said lukewarmly: "Thirty years ago, it was Jincheng that Ling Zun scored."

  Li Shen shook his head.

   "My father fought wars all his life, and he was in the central army. Since he was 30 years old, he has never drawn a knife by himself. People in Jincheng died under the butcher's knife of Emperor Wu."

  Li Xing gritted his teeth and was about to continue speaking when a servant bent over and walked over.

   "His Royal Highness, Mu Ying from the Mu family is here, saying that he has an urgent matter to see you..."
