Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 709 It's daylight...

To be honest, going north is no problem for Li Xin. As the emperor said, he and the Ye family have nothing to do with each other. As long as you bring Ye Mao with you, relying on his relationship with the Ye family and the popularity he has accumulated over the years, think To master the Zhenbei Army of Jimen Pass in a short period of time is actually an easy task.

   The question is what should Li Xin do when he gets to the north.

If you count the time, there should be a war in the north now, or even a fight. When Li Xin goes to the north, it will be at least a month or two later. At that time, the first collision between the Yunzhou army and the Yuwen divisions, Mostly it's over.

   At this moment, Li Xin set out for the north and had to understand his position.

   It's simpler to say, the emperor's intention is obvious, to let him take the Zhenbei Army and fight with Yuwen's tribes.

I took the Zhenbei Army to fight with the Yuwen tribes, even if they won the Yuwen tribes, most of the Zhenbei Army itself would be disabled. At that time, not only did the court solve the problem of the Zhenbei Army, but the relationship between myself and the Ye family was mostly It will also be greatly discounted because of this.

   This is the premise of Li Xin's departure to the north.

   That's why he wanted to figure out what he was going to do and what he should do when he got to the north before he set off.

In the evening of the same day, the servants of the Marquis of Jing'an prepared a small table of wine and vegetables. Li Xin and Zhao Jia were still sitting under the pavilion in the backyard and talking. Now the weather is hot, and mosquitoes are rampant outside, so I ordered some mosquito-repellent spices under the pavilion. , The cool breeze is blowing, it is quite pleasant.

While eating, Li Xin explained the general situation to Zhao Jia. Zhao Youan listened carefully, lowered his head to think for a while, and said, "Master Hou... Your Majesty means that you should take over the Zhenbei Army temporarily, or a direct hand..."

  Jing An Houye said without hesitation: "Naturally, I will take over temporarily."

   "I'm going to sit in that position and not move my nest, not to mention how the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army see it. Within five years, the Ye family will turn against me."

   "Even if Master Ye has a spirit in the sky, he would also blame me for being unkind."

   Zhao Youan was silent for a while, without speaking.

Li Xin smiled lightly and said, "I know what you're thinking, don't worry, even the emperor can't put me in that position without moving my nest. already."

   Zhao Jia nodded and let out a few breaths.

   "If the intention of the imperial court is not to provoke the conflict between the Hou Ye and the Ye family, then it is probably to let the Hou Ye preside over this northern expedition."

He said slowly: "The Lord Marquis mentioned the matter of the Northern Expedition to me before, and I thought about it privately. At that time, I thought that Yunzhou City should be the first to attack, and then General Ye will attack. I didn't expect things to suddenly change now. become like this.”

   Li Xin spoke silently.

   "If Master Ye wasn't gone, things should be similar to what you guessed."

   He picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said, "Right now, it's not when I'm thinking about why I went to Zhenbei Army, I should think about what I should do after I go to the north."

   Zhao Youan answered this question without hesitation.

   "Naturally, he helped the imperial court and wiped out Yuwen's ministries."

   "The Marquis has already said it before. Your Majesty has been pondering this matter for five years. Since His Majesty asked Marquis to handle this matter, then Marquis will naturally handle it."

   Li Xin didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Jia lightly.

   Zhao Youan said solemnly: "Of course, the combat power of Yuwen's divisions should not be underestimated, and it is impossible to say that they will be destroyed."

"The Marquis might as well go to office first. After taking over the Zhenbei Army at Jimen Pass, let's take a look at the situation of Yuwen's ministries. If you can fight, then the Marquis will take the credit. ."

   "After arriving in the north, Lord Hou can act according to his own wishes. Fighting or not fighting is all in the mind of Lord Hou..."

   "Even if you can't fight for a long time, it's not that Zhenbei Army is incompetent, but Yuwen's troops are too tyrannical."

   Li Xin took a sip of wine and looked at Zhao Jia with a smile.

   "If I also fight in the north for 20 to 30 years, wouldn't it become another Pingnan Houfu?"

   Zhao Youan also laughed.

   "It's very different. The Pingnan Marquis has the Pingnan Army, but the Zhenbei Army is not the direct line of the Marquis, but the direct line of the Ye family, which has nothing to do with the Marquis."

  The Marquis of Jing'an raised his head and took a sip of wine, but didn't say much.

  …

   Because General Ye Ming wanted to return to his hometown, Ding You, the Zhenbei Army urgently needed someone to take over.

The person who came to announce the decree was Xiao Zheng, the head of the inner court. This **** Xiao held the decree and went to the Jing'an Marquis Mansion with a low eyebrow. After he read the decree, he bent over and handed the scroll to Li. letter in hand.

   "Congratulations to Li Houye for taking over the Zhenbei Army."

   He looked flattering.

After Li Xin took over the imperial decree, he laughed at himself: "I was originally enjoying happiness in the prosperous world of the capital, but now I'm going to the bitter cold land in the north to guard the border. This is obviously exile, so what is there to congratulate? "

  Xiao Zheng bent down and said, "Master Hou has this opportunity, and he will definitely make extraordinary achievements. In the future, he will be able to outshine the blue and be better than the blue, and become an important minister who will shine through the ages."

   "The father-in-law can still speak."

  The Marquis of Jing'an sighed slightly and said, "This trip to the north is very difficult. I just hope that I won't be dismissed from office and won the title. As for whether or not to make meritorious deeds, I don't even dare to think about it."

   Xiao Zheng hurriedly bent over: "Master Hou is too modest."

   "The servants still have some things to do in the palace, so I won't disturb the Marquis, so I will leave."

  The Marquis of Jing'an smiled and said, "I'll send my father-in-law?"

   "I dare not, I dare not."

  Xiao Zheng waved his hands again and again and walked away as if he was running away.

  The Marquis of Jingan held the imperial edict in one hand and looked blankly at the direction Xiao Zhengyuan was going.

  Because it was an imperial decree, it was natural for the family to come out to greet him. The eldest princess was right next to Li Xin. She pulled her husband's sleeves and sighed a long time.

   "Why do you want to go out of Beijing again? When you came back from the southwest five years ago, didn't His Majesty say that he would not let you go out of Beijing in the future?"

  Li Xin smiled and patted the princess's head, and said with a smile, "How can you believe the words of the Son of Heaven?"

   The eldest princess was taken aback by his words, and waved her hand: "What nonsense, let outsiders listen to it, I have to take you to Dali Temple to ask for the crime..."

   "Isn't there no outsiders here?"

  Li Xin stretched his arms around the waist of the eldest princess, and said with a smile, "Go, let's go to the back room and talk."

   Jiu Gongzhu's face was a little red, she pinched Li Xin's arm, and said a little embarrassedly: "What are you doing... It's daytime."

   "Can't talk during the day?"

  The Marquis of Jing An said with a smile, "Who made this rule?"

In desperation, the eldest princess could only be carried by Li Xin and walked towards the backyard. When she was halfway, she looked up at her husband and whispered worriedly, "How long are you going to go this time? "

   Li Xin heard the words, and after a pause, he sighed slightly.

"I do not know either."
