Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 942

   "The court doesn't want to fight, what can I do?"

Li Xinman took a step carelessly, and said helplessly: "I can't I sneak to the northern Xinjiang and lead Ye Mao to fight with the Yuwen family? Not to mention the 100,000 Zhenbei Army, can I fight? If you win the Yuwen Department, even if you win, you won't have any food for at most two months without the court's logistical supplies."

   "Obviously, the emperor and those scholars have already negotiated. The matter has come to this point, and I don't want to quarrel with them any more, what they want to do."

Having said this, the Marquis of Jing'an was silent for a while, and then slowly exhaled: "Unfortunately, the large military merits of Beijiang were originally enough for Ye Mao to take the position of the general, and the Zhenbei Army was idle. It's not that easy."

At this time, Li Xin already had the upper hand in the chess game, and if he continued to play a maximum of five or six rounds, Ye Ming's general would no longer have a chance to survive. General Ye kept silent, put the pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and coughed. A voice: "I only care about talking to Chang'an. The food at home has been ready for a while, and Chang'an should not have eaten it yet. The two of us are talking while eating."

   said, he began to gather the pieces.

  The Ye family is used to being rude. In the early years, old man Ye had this kind of virtue. Li Xin didn't care, and smiled dumbly: "Although Brother Ye and Master Ye don't look alike, they are really exactly the same in their bones."

   General Ye put the chess pieces into the chess box without realizing it.

   As he collected the chess, he said, "The letter sent by the fourth brother yesterday was delivered to me."

   General Ye looked up at Li Xin and sighed slightly: "The fourth said that the army in the southwest took the initiative to move out of the Jiange, and even drove to the bottom of Hanzhong City to start a challenge. After the vanguard of the two sides fought, the Hanzhong army was defeated."

   He put the last chess piece in the chess box and said slowly: "Your family business in the southwest has far surpassed that of Li Zhijie and Li Shen and his son. Next, what are you going to do next?"

Li Xin also helped to gather the pieces, he said lightly: "Southwest took the initiative to fight against the imperial court, the purpose is not to rebel, but to ensure the safety of the younger brother in the capital, after all, in the hearts of those ministers and the emperor, I am now half a rebel. Thief, if they cut me off in a hurry, where can I find a place to reason?"

   "But if it goes on like this, sooner or later, you will go down Li Shen's old path."

   Ye Ming frowned: "The huge Pingnan Marquis Mansion has been wiped out. With this kind of lessons learned, you shouldn't repeat the same mistakes in Chang'an."

Li Xin put the last "handsome" into the chess box, then raised his head to look at Ye Ming, and smiled slightly: "Then, senior brother and I will work together to pull the emperor down from this position and help the fourth prince up, At that time, the emperor will become his own, and there will be no more disputes."

   Chen Guogong's mansion is an absolutely safe place, especially this small courtyard, where Ye Sheng has lived for more than 40 years. No matter what you say here, you don't have to worry about spreading it out. That's why Li Xin is so outspoken.

   Ye Ming only frowned slightly when he heard this.

   "The Son of Heaven today is not a family with you?"

   "Is he your nephew or your student. In terms of relationship, he is much closer to you than the fourth prince. Isn't he still on the same guard against you?"

   "The troops in the southwest will not be scattered for a day. No matter who gets to that position, the relationship with you will not be good. It is not a question of who is the emperor."

   General Ye squinted his eyes and said solemnly, "It's you, Li Changan, who has to get by with that chair."

   Having said this, Ye Ming got up, walked to the door of the small courtyard, gave a few words to the servants, and then sat down opposite Li Xin again.

   "I have asked Uncle Zhou to disperse all the servants. Now there is no third person within ten feet of this yard. I want to say a few shameful words to you for my brother."

  Li Xin wanted to stand up, but when he heard Ye Ming's words, he sat back in the chair and said, "Senior brother, please speak."

   "Are you going to be emperor?"

   Ye Ming looked solemn.

   Li Xin was stunned for a while, then said with a smile, "Didn't senior brother already ask this question, why did he ask it again?"

   "This time is different from the last time."

   General Ye's voice was low.

   "Last time Weixiong thought you were incompetent even if you were rebellious, but after receiving the letter from the fourth brother yesterday, Weixiong's views were different."

   "Last night, I didn't sleep a night, just figure out how far you are from the court."

Ye Ming closed his eyes and said slowly: "Originally, in my opinion, although you have a lot of family business in the southwest, it is only the second Pingnanhou mansion, and at best it is worth half of Gyeonggi. The forbidden army, even if they can defend Shu County, they will not be able to get out of the sword gate, and they will not be able to achieve great things."

"But this time, your army in the southwest easily defeated the Hanzhong army under the fourth fourth. The fourth said in the letter that it was the forbidden army who fought against the southwest army, not the Hanzhong garrison. "

   "For the sake of my brother, I will make a detailed calculation."

   "The thirty-one prefectures in the southwest, based on the population of Taikang in eight years, there are almost one million households, plus those in the mountains, there are probably eight or nine million people."

   "The southwest is no longer obligated to the imperial court, and it is a country of its own. With Zhao Jia helping you take care of the southwest, you can raise more than 200,000 troops and horses. If you force recruits, you can even more."

"The Tianlei you made, the fourth letter also told me in detail, although it can't kill people, it is very useful when rushing into the formation. When the two armies face each other, as long as one of the formations disperses, the other will immediately meet. Get the upper hand, maybe even win big.”

"I made an estimate, if your southwest can produce more than 150,000 soldiers and horses, enough food and grass, and enough thunder, just these 150,000 people may destroy the two battalions of the forbidden army in Gyeonggi. "

   "Besides, you are still the general of the Right Battalion of the Gyeonggi Imperial Army. If you hit the capital city, you don't have to fight with the Right Battalion to the end. As long as you win a few games, your old unit in the Right Battalion may follow you."

Li Xin blinked at Ye Ming, and said with a smile, "Senior brother, I forgot that there are not only the forbidden army in Dajin, but also the frontier army and the garrisoned troops in various places. If the southwest really rebels, they come to the capital to serve as King Qin, it is not the same. A dead end?"

   "Just find a clan to make a banner, and you can let the troops stationed in various places watch the fire from across the bank."

   Ye Ming glanced at Li Xin lightly: "For example, the sixth prince you stayed at home for a day a few days ago."

  The Marquis of Jing An asked with a smile, "Where's the army over there?"

"The Ye family is unlikely to be embarrassed by you on this kind of thing, so when my brother was estimating, he took out the Zhenbei Army from it, and the rest is nothing more than 50,000 troops stationed on the border of Tubo, and 100,000 troops in Yunzhou. Kind of army."

   "The garrison of the Tubo border is not a big problem. As for the Chongjia army, as long as you contact Yuwenzhao, you can easily hold them back and make them immobile."

Having said this, Ye Ming closed his eyes and said slowly: "My leadership is very different from that of my father. My father is very particular about bravery, while I like to deduce the battle situation. I deduced it in my room last night. For a whole night, if the southwest rebels, the odds of winning are not low."

   "At least 30% to 40% hope."

   Having said this, Ye Ming opened his eyes and said solemnly: "If the Ye family participates, then there is a 50-60% or even higher confidence."

   Mrs. Li blinked and said with a smile: "The Ye family has a great career, and the senior brother is cautious by nature, so he won't get off the stage in such a thing."

   "But I won't live long."

   General Ye sighed helplessly.

   "I'm dead, that kid Ye Mao, I will definitely take the Ye family to the end."
