Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 494 Righteousness is not afraid of death, Li Changan

   No matter how the court responded, Ye Ming was always doing his own thing. After he and Li Xin settled on this strategy, he immediately began to prepare to attack Bashu.

The traditional route of breaking Shu is the same road that the old marquis Li Zhijie took. First break through Hanzhong, then you have to go out of Yangping Pass, then Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, and Jiange Pass. These are the three passes in northern Shu, and then It was Fuxian and Mianzhu counties that could finally get to Jincheng. Back then, Li Zhijie was abruptly rubbed all the way through, and it was considered that the Nanshu regime was torn apart by brute force.

Now that Ye Ming wants to enter Shu, he can only go through the road that Li Zhijie walked all the way again, but at the same time as his main attack, Li Xin will take the Yinping ancient road from the flank and insert it into the hinterland of Bashu. Under the two-pronged approach, there will be It is possible to break the southwest in a short time.

   The first place to fight is Hanzhong.

  Hanzhong is the northernmost gate of the original Nanshu, and it is also one of the necessary places to enter the Shu. If you want to break through the southwest, the first thing is to open the first gate.

It is worth mentioning that after the collapse of Nanshu, Hanzhong was not under the jurisdiction of Shujun, but should be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. The imperial court also dispatched officials to station in Hanzhong, but the Pingnan Army kept claiming that Hanzhong was a rebel of Nanshu. The gathering place, forcibly occupied this pass.

   Nowadays, both inside and outside of Hanzhong City are people from the Pingnan General's Mansion, and all the officials, including the prefect, are all disciples of Li Shen.

  Especially after the Southwest officially raised the flag to rebel, there were at least 20,000 Pingnan Army defenders in Hanzhong City. This was a difficult bone to gnaw, and General Ye needed to gnaw it down.

   And Li Xin's task was to go deep into the southwest hinterland from the road that Deng Ai had taken, and completely disrupt the defensive formation in the southwest.

   In order to confirm the details of this battle plan, Ye Ming has been looking for Li Xin for the next few days to discuss the details of the follow-up actions.

   Two people pointed at the map of Southwest Kan map in the state and shepherd's mansion in Jingzhou, and Ye Mao, the younger son of the younger generation, could only serve tea and water humbly beside him, which was regarded as an observer.

   After a few days, the two finally finalized a specific battle plan.

In the study room of the prefectural shepherd's mansion, Ye Ming pointed to the Hanzhong mansion on the map, and said solemnly: "It's almost June, and as soon as June enters, I will immediately leave for Hanzhong for my brother. Li Shen is cautious. Since he has made up his mind to defend, he will definitely shrink to defend the hinterland. Although Hanzhong County is important, he will not put too many people in to defend, and it is estimated that he can win Hanzhong in at most two months."

   "After winning Hanzhong, Weixiong set off towards Jiange."

   "At that time, the weather has cooled down, you can take people from Didao to Chang'an, go around Jiange from Yinping, arrive near Mianzhu, and then attack Mianzhu in a big way, pretending to be the main force of our army."

   Having said that, General Ye knocked heavily on the table.

   "At that time, even if the Pingnan Army can handle it, it will inevitably be left to the right. If we deal with it properly, the southwest will have a chance to be pacified before the end of the year."

   Having said that, Ye Ming lowered his voice.

   "The only dangerous place is, Chang'an, if you go deep into the southwest hinterland, you are likely to be besieged by them. If you can't hold on at that time, you will be easily defeated."

   Ye Shaobao said in a low voice: "So whether this plan is feasible or not, it depends on Chang'an's decision."

  Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother thinks that this has a good chance of winning."

   "Sixty or seventy percent."

Ye Ming squinted his eyes and said: "At this time, it depends on whether Li Shen can react, but even if he reacts, he may not be able to handle it. It's only a matter of time before the sword pavilion changes hands, and the southwest is just a matter of time."

   Ye Ming's confidence does not lie in how much he feels stronger than Li Shen, but in the fact that he has a strong background behind him, and this background is the imperial court.

He now has nearly 140,000 people in the right battalion of the Imperial Army, but these people are far from the full strength of the imperial court. Even if the 140,000 people are exhausted, the imperial court can still organize another 140,000 people. On the side of the army, if it's gone, it's gone. No matter how powerful Li Shen is, he can't conjure people out of thin air.

   This in itself is an asymmetrical war.

   Li Xin lowered his head and pretended to ponder for a long time, and finally nodded heavily.

   "For the sake of the imperial court, my personal life is nothing. This time, according to my brother's wishes, my younger brother is willing to bring people to Shu through the ancient road of Yinping."

   What he said was righteous and dignified, but his heart had already blossomed with joy.

This time, Ye Ming meant to let him take 50,000 people through Yinping and enter Shu. If it was just these 50,000 people, Li Xin specified that he would not be willing to enter Li Shen's hinterland to take risks. After all, this is a serious war. , It's not that the child is messing around, going to the battlefield, and no one recognizes what kind of **** he is Jinganhou, it's really planted, when others kill him, they won't even blink their eyelids.

   Li Xin, he still cherishes his life.

   But by coincidence, Li Xin still has a power in the hinterland of the southwest!

   That is the remnant of Nanshu brought by Mu Ying!

   You must know that the location of Hanzhou Prefecture is on the edge of Jincheng, and those Nanshu survivors are distributed near Hanzhou Prefecture. If they gather into an army, then the location should be behind Mianzhu!

If Li Xin could enter Shu from the ancient road of Yinping and come to Mianzhu City, then the main force of the Pingnan Army should be involved in the Jiange by Ye Ming. At that time, Li Xin had nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, and he had a real chance to win Jin. city!

Taking 10,000 steps back, he said that even if Li Xin's skills were not good enough, he would not be able to break through Jincheng, but among the 100,000 people, including 50,000 locals who knew the southwest well, at least he could be guaranteed to survive in the hinterland of the southwest. By the way, it caused a lot of trouble for Li Shen.

   Therefore, the Marquis of Jing'an responded very simply, and was also very righteous and awe-inspiring.

   General Ye was very moved.

   He patted Li Xin on the shoulder heavily, and said with emotion: "My brother has seen many young people in the past few decades, only Chang'an is alone, so brave and resourceful."

  Li Xin smiled and said, "It's just that the senior brother has just sent a letter to His Majesty asking for a truce. At this time, he suddenly wants to fight again. Your Majesty knows that and will think that the senior brother is playing tricks on him."

   "The battlefield is unpredictable, and fighters are fleeting. My brother didn't think of this at first."

  Ye Shaobao frowned slightly, and then said slowly: "Forget it, I will write another letter to His Majesty and send it over. This time you don't need to sign in Chang'an, otherwise your brother and I will be suspected of blackmailing the emperor."

  Li Xin smiled and said, "It's all according to the arrangement of the senior brother."

  Ye Ming was talking and beckoned to Ye Mao outside, then the old general sullen and said solemnly: "From today, you will follow your Uncle Li, and you can follow him wherever he goes."

The meaning of    is to let Ye Mao follow Li Xin to enter Shu from Yinping.

  The Marquis of Jing'an glanced at Ye Ming in surprise, and then said solemnly, "Senior brother, this dangerous trip, let Ye Mao be by your side, right?"

   "The Ye family has never been afraid of danger, and it doesn't matter if they die."

   Ye Ming's tone is beyond doubt.

   "His second uncle and third uncle all died on the battlefield. They can all die, but he Ye Mao can't die?"
