Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 798

Southwest is not a place, it refers to a large area. In a broad sense, it refers to all the land in the homeland of the Han Dynasty. There are dozens of prefectures in this land, including Ba County, Shu County, and Qian County. , as well as a large area in southern Yunnan!

   This is also one of the reasons why Li Xin once said that the Hanzhou army will be divided between the left and the right in the future. The Hanzhou army with only 50,000 people cannot be like the former Pingnan army, and its forces will radiate throughout the southwest.

This place used to be the homeland of Chenghan's homeland, but after all, Chenghan has perished for decades. Now people in this land dare not say that everyone recognizes the Dajin court, but at least they no longer recognize that it has perished. Adult Han for two generations.

   Therefore, the flag of Chenghan raised by Mu Ying is not even as useful as the flag of the abolished prince raised by Li Shen at the beginning.

After hearing Li Xin's words, the smile on Mu Ying's face faded, he turned serious, and frowned: "The Pingnan Army under Li Shuo are all elites, and I saw it when they fought Jiange, and they really fought. The Hanzhou Army is not necessarily their opponent, how can they be integrated into the Hanzhou Army?"

   "If you don't want to, you have to be willing."

The Marquis of Jing'an looked calm and said, "It is impossible for them to continue living in the Tubo side. It won't take long for them to continue to live there, and they will disappear slowly and silently. Li Shuo will definitely find someone for these people. Survival, but he can't fight against the court by himself, all he can do is to cooperate with us."

   Mu Ying smiled bitterly: "Cooperation is cooperation. Li Shuo willingly handed over military power for no reason. He can cooperate with us on an equal footing."

   "Without them, the Hanzhou Army would be able to defend the Jiange Pavilion."

   Li Xin laughed: "So Li Shuo has become a dispensable person, and he can't turn against us, so he can only choose to join us."

"As for the general direction, I have already discussed it with Li Shuo in the capital. He agreed to merge the Pingnan Army into the Hanzhou Army, on the condition that the generals of the Pingnan Army should continue to be generals. After the reorganization, the Hanzhou Army Divide it into three, and Li Shuo will take one of them."

Speaking of this, Li Xin said with a smile: "The general direction is set, but how to reorganize, how to break up the Pingnan Army, and how to break in are all very tedious things. I'm too lazy to think about it, so I'll leave it to you, Brother Mu. There are also two brothers, You An, who should discuss it carefully."

   General Mu also had a smile on his face.

"I'm not very good at this. I will leave it to Mr. You'an to deal with it. These scholars are the best at grasping people's hearts. With Mr. You'an's action, after the Pingnan Army was incorporated into the Hanzhou Army, it should not be What's wrong."

Having said this, he smiled at Li Xin: "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Lord Hou for sending Mr. You An to the southwest, otherwise, if I rely on me alone, even if I have won Jincheng and Jiange, facing such a huge In the southwest of China, I really don't know where to start."

   "But Mr. You An sits in Jincheng, and everything is in order."

   said, he put his eyes on Li Xin and lowered his voice slightly.

"To be honest with the Marquis, although Hanzhou has been in a lot of trouble in the past few months, the power of the Dajin court is too strong, even if it is me, I don't think Nanshu can really restore the country, at most in the southwest. It's just a matter of attracting the attention of the court and helping the Marquis to share some pressure, but now..."

   He looked up at Li Xin and said solemnly, "Now that there is Mr. You'an, if the Pingnan Army can successfully join the Hanzhou Army, plus you are in the southwest..."

   "I think we people may really be able to establish a country..."

He took a deep breath and continued: "Let's not restore any Chenghan, anyway, Chenghan's clan is surnamed Li, and your surname is Li too, Lord Hou, you will be emperor in the southwest, and we will attack Jin but not Jindu. It doesn't matter, with your ability, Lord Hou, it's not a problem to be stable in the southwest for decades."

   Li Xin was drinking, and after hearing Mu Ying's words, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, and glanced at Mu Ying helplessly.

   "You still have to persuade me to rebel."

   Mu Ying said with a smile: "It's not a rebellion, it's self-reliance as a king."

   "No difference."

  The Marquis of Jing'an shook his head slightly and said, "Brother Mu thinks that if we fight against a country from the southwest, if we really fight, how long can we last?"

   Mu Ying smiled and said: "I don't know about others, but if Lord Hou comes to fight, I believe the court will never be able to win the southwest."

   "Why?"

   Li Xin's face was calm: "I also have one head and two arms, why can I do what others can't?"

   Mu Ying opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

  Li Xin looked calm and said, "I know, you want to say it's because of Tianlei."

   "Indeed, this thing has just come out. With its current strength, it may be no problem to help us defend the sword pavilion for five years, or even ten years."

   "But what about ten years from now?"

Li Xin put his hands in his sleeves and said indifferently: "No matter how powerful Tianlei is, it is made by people, and the material needs to be intervened. It has just come out, and the court has no way to start, and it is a big loss, but the world There is no airtight wall, and where there are people, people will be unpredictable, and as long as this thing is in this world, it will leak to the court sooner or later."

   "When the time comes, what will happen?"

   Mu Ying let out a breath and said solemnly: "If there are ten years, the southwest will no longer be afraid of the imperial court like it is now."

   What he means is that in ten years, the army in the southwest cannot be as small as it is now.

  Li Xin shook his head slowly.

   "The limit of the southwest is the army of 200,000 people. It can only be supported if the army is forced to use military force and beat out the blood of the common people to support it. Is 200,000 people enough to overthrow the Jin Dynasty?"

   Li Xin's face was calm: "Even as Brother Mu said, as long as our generation lives, the southwest will still be the southwest, but what if our generation disappears?"

   "Can the next generation hold the Southwest?"

   Mu Ying is far less profound than Li Xin thought. He said hesitantly, "Maybe the next generation of Ji's family will have a faint emperor..."

  Li Xin shook his head.

   "No accident, the next emperor of the Ji family will be my student. He may not be a Ming Jun or Sage, but at least he will be a qualified emperor."

   Having said that, Li Xin patted Mu Ying on the shoulder.

   "This is the general trend."

   "The Ji family has only ruled the world for 40 years, and it is the time when the country's fortunes are booming. At this time, no one can overthrow this rolling trend."

   In the first 100 years of a great unified dynasty, the national fortunes were often extremely prosperous, and after a hundred years, it would slowly turn from prosperity to decline.

   Although this statement is a bit superstitious, it is a real fact.

The rotation of each dynasty is essentially a process of smashing the previous dynasty and redistributing the interests of the vested interests, so as to quell class conflicts, and then a new dynasty will give birth to a group of new vested interests. When the conflict has to break out again, it will be pushed down again and again.

   Repeatedly.

   Today's Dajin is a newly-born empire with a flourishing national fortune.

   Even Li Xin could not have established a state from the southwest to attack Jin.

   So he told Li Shuo earlier that his ambition was not in the southwest.

   Li Xin patted Mu Ying on the shoulder and spoke slowly.

   "Brother Mu, if you are making a fuss in the southwest, you can only make one king of Shu at most. We must set our vision higher."

   said, Li Xin looked in the direction of the capital.

   "The general trend of the world is always in the capital."
