Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 592 Changan, tell the truth

   The conversation between Li Xin and Ye Ming was not a courtesy or a joke. In fact, the two were discussing how to divide the credit.

The Southwest War is over, and this credit is a huge cake. This time the Western Expedition Army has a share. According to the truth, no matter what the war is, the main general's credit will always be the greatest, so Li Xin will say credit. Most of it was given to Ye Ming, and he shared the rest with the soldiers of the Imperial Guard.

   And Ye Ming meant that Li Xin took the lead, and the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Army were divided equally.

In fact, the result of the conversation between the two cannot completely determine the reward from the court. After all, during the Southwest War, every day's military newspapers have to be sent to the capital. The emperor in the capital clearly knows who deserves the credit. maximum.

However, the results of the two of them discussed will be written into the application letter of the Western Army. This application letter will affect the rewards issued by the court to a certain extent. After all, the opinions of Li Xin and Ye Ming , in a sense, the opinion of the "military", the court must give some respect.

   The two brothers and sisters entered Jincheng hand in hand.

   Li Xin was very attentive to details, slightly behind Ye Ming and did not walk side by side.

   After the group entered the Pingnan General's Mansion, Li Xin had already set up a banquet to wash away the dust for the general.

After everyone was seated, Li Xin got up to toast Ye Ming and said with a smile, "This time, I won a great victory in the Western Army. It all depends on the general's strategizing and proper command. Li Xin is the general of the right battalion of the forbidden army, so I will replace it here. Brothers in the right battalion of the Imperial Army, thank you General!"

   After saying that, Li Xinxin took a gulp.

   At this moment, the Imperial Army under Ye Ming had not yet arrived in Jincheng. Ye Ming was coming from Jincheng quickly. After hearing Li Xin's words, the general also stood up and sighed.

   "Changan, you have become a brother."

"When you and I divided our troops, there were more than 47,000 people on your side, and more than 94,000 people on my brother's side. You took these 40,000 people to quell the rebels in one fell swoop, and there are still more than 30,000 people under your command. Brother, there are less than 40,000 people left with more than 90,000 people."

   Ye Ming blushed, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

   "I'm ashamed of the embargoed army for my brother."

Li Xin shook his head and cupped his hands to Ye Ming: "Senior brother, this is wrong, the younger brother used tricks along the way, the only time he attacked Jincheng head-on, and also the rebels from Hanzhou helped, and they forced Jincheng to surrender. It's not really a skill, on the other hand, Senior Brother, pushing it all the way from Hanzhong to the Jiange, and forcibly leveling the Jianmen Gate, is the real skill."

The Marquis of Jing'an said solemnly, "It's not that the younger brother is slapping the horse, looking at the entire court, anyone who comes over is still unable to move outside the Jianmen Pass, even if Master Ye comes in person, he may not be able to do better than the senior brother. better."

   "Senior Brother's General!"

Li Xin's words, of course, have some utilitarian elements in them, but what he said is basically true. The natural danger of Jianmenguan, if ordinary generals come, they are basically helpless, but Ye Ming is abrupt. Hardly gnawed down, not only gnawed down, but the battle damage did not reach an unacceptable level.

   This is the basic skill and hard power of a famous general.

   It is definitely impossible to do what Ye Ming did for Li Xin by going to another place.

   Ye Shaobao sighed, silently poured a glass of wine for Li Xin, and at the same time filled himself.

"In the battle of Jiange, the two sides together killed more than 60,000 or 70,000 people. If it was at Jimen Pass, my brother wouldn't say a word. After all, Jimen Pass is a defense against the enemy outside the country, no matter how many people die It should be, but this is Jiange, Shu County..."

   Ye Shaobao took a long sigh and took a sip of wine.

   "On both sides, they are my soldiers of Dajin, and they are my subjects of Dajin..."

   "In addition to the people who died on your side, I am afraid that 200,000 people died in this expedition to the west."

   Ye Ming gritted his teeth: "This time, Li Shen has made a sin!"

   No matter how ruthless a general is, ruthlessness is only an appearance, just a mask. Everyone is human, and no one will be indifferent in the face of thousands of corpses, especially if these people are still from their own country.

   But Ye Ming actually made a mistake. The number of people who died this time was far less than 200,000. Because the Marquis of Jingan released water, many Pingnan troops died on the "book".

Li Xin accompanied him for a drink, patted the general's shoulder, and said with relief: "Senior brother, if this turmoil doesn't stop at Shu County, it will become bigger in the future, and more people will die, at least this There are basically no civilians who died in the southwest at one time, and the senior brother has achieved merit."

   The two brothers were drinking and talking. The young master, Ye Mao, sat on his knees and poured wine for the two of them, sitting upright.

   After the two talked for a while, Li Xin began to explain in detail how his side successfully won Jincheng.

   Starting from crossing the Motianling, all the way to the surrender of Li Shen Kaicheng.

   After listening to it, Ye Ming frowned deeply. He turned his head to look at Ye Ming, the young master, and then whispered to Li Xin, "Changan, Ye Mao has done so much credit?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, these will be genuine credits, there is no moisture at all, Ye Mao, he has given his life many times along the way, and the younger brother can't hold it back. This is all the credit he tried so hard to get. Very, not a bit dirty."

  Li Xin's words raised his chest high.

   Ye Ming sighed: "I know you won't cheat in Chang'an, but there are many things here, except Ye Mao, others can do it, and many things don't need him to do."

   "Chang'an, you took three Zhechong residences with you. In addition to Ye Mao's Fangshan Zhechong residence, there are two other Zhechong residences, and the other two Zhechong commanders."

   "According to what you just said in Chang'an, the credits of the other two Commanders of Zhechong and Zhechong Mansion are combined, and they are inferior to Ye Mao alone. I don't know how much. You can't lead troops like this, it's too biased."

  Li Xin smiled and said, "You always have to help your family, don't you?"

   "Those two Zhechong Manor, since they are with you, are also your family."

Ye Ming's face was serious, and he said solemnly: "Chang'an, you lead troops like this, once or twice, but after a long time, these people will become more and more dissatisfied in their hearts. Battalion or even mutiny is possible!"

   Ye Ming's words are an old general's hard-hearted teaching to the new general.

He looked serious and said solemnly: "In order to be handsome, the most important thing is to have a bowl of water that is level, so that you can win people's hearts and soldiers can be willing to die for you. military."

  Li Xin looked serious, got up and cupped his hands to Ye Ming: "Thank you for your teaching, brother, I wrote it down, this is only one time, it will not be an example next time."

   Ye Ming shook his head.

   "This time, Ye Mao's credit will be distributed to the other two Zhechong Houses, so that they will not be mentally unbalanced after returning to the capital."

   "Those people under Ye Mao's subordinates followed suit, and it's not good to take their credit, so how do you calculate it, what do you think of Chang'an?"

   Li Xin frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is a little unfair to Ye Mao."

   Ye Ming looked back at Ye Mao, then smiled dumbly.

   "Ye Mao wants credit, but it is of no use. He will naturally be Chen Guogong. Changan still wants the court to give him a different surname king?"

   Li Xin was stunned, thinking about it too.

   Credit for these things, others may care, for the little master, it is nothing.

He does not need it.

   Ye Ming said a few more words to Li Xin, then suddenly became serious again, looked at Li Xin, and asked in a deep voice.

   "Chang'an, my brother has something to ask you."

   Li Xin said with a smile: "Senior brother, but just say it, my brother must know everything."

   This Ye Shaobao reached out and poured a glass of wine for Li Xin, then raised his head and looked straight at Li Xin.

   "Chang'an, tell the truth to brother Wei, what is the matter with the so-called Hanzhou Rebels?"
