Chapter 32: Breaking the Deadlock
Now that the north is really fighting, it is an unstoppable fact that the Yuwen Department has entered the customs, but as long as the Zhenbei Army defends to the death, the Yuwen Department will suffer heavy losses even if it enters the customs, Li Xin means that the Xianbei Department can enter the customs, but it cannot exceed five hundred miles, and it is necessary to try to control the impact of the war within a certain range.
This is a very difficult thing to do, first, Li Xin is not any general of the imperial court, nor does he serve in the imperial court, although he has soldiers under his command, it is impossible to pass through the imperial court to manage the affairs of the north, and it is unlikely to do so.
From a rational point of view, what Li Xin should do now or the southwest is to wait for the north to make a big fuss, take the opportunity to raise troops, and lay a future for himself for all generations, but doing so will inevitably lead to misery and blood, although Li Xin has been a human being in two lives, but in his previous life he was just an ordinary ordinary person, and he did not have the kind of ambition that would rather bear the world's people, compared to those big people, in his eyes, the lives of ordinary people are also lives.
At this time, the entire Southwest Group was pushing him forward, and it was impossible to retreat or shrink in the Southwest, and Li Xin had to do something.
After hearing Zhao Jia's words, Li Xin spoke: "I have a plan in my heart, which can control the situation in the northern Xinjiang and let the southwest army out of Shu at the same time, but this plan is feasible or not, and I need to discuss it carefully after Mu Ying returns." ”
Zhao Jiada frowned, he looked at Li Xin, and sighed slowly: "Hou Ye, you are also a person who has read history books, all kinds of emperors and heroes in history books, there are tired and dry bones under your feet, even if your parents are cooked, you can "share my piece of the pie" cruel words, Hou Ye and let go of a little compassion in his heart, you are still young, as long as we occupy the capital, there will be time to clean up the old mountains and rivers in the future." ”
Li Xin sat in his place, closed his eyes, and did not speak.
I have to admit that even if he achieves this position today, he is still an ordinary person in his bones, at most a smart ordinary person, and his ideological concepts are still too different from those big people.
But in life, you must always follow your own heart, blindly pursue profits, and in the end, there may be one more hero in the history books, but there will also be one less Li Changan.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then said, "I want to try the best of both worlds. ”
After that, he stopped talking, closed his eyes and thought about things, and after another half an hour or so, Mu Yingkan, who was dressed in military uniform, rushed to Li Yuan from outside the city, and before he could enter, he arched his hand at Li Xin and said, "What is the matter with Hou Ye summoning his subordinates?" ”
Li Xin opened his eyes and slowly exhaled: "Let Brother You'an tell you." ”
Zhao Jia picked up the piece of information from the table, handed it to Mu Ying, and then said lightly: "This is the news from Jizhou, the Yuwen Department held back for a whole winter, and finally couldn't hold it back, and now it is estimated that it has fought with the Zhenbei Army, and the situation in the north of the Great Jin Dynasty is in chaos." ”
Mu Ying didn't have Zhao Jia's ability to look at ten lines, and after he read the letter carefully, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
This guy slapped his thigh and shouted: "Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the north of the Ji family is in chaos, I can take the opportunity to go out of Shu and point at the capital, and now the Ji family has no heart when Emperor Wu was in power, and there is no ...... I don't believe that they can still take care of both the north and the south, and fight on both sides! ”
He wanted to say that Ye Sheng was coming, but there was also a disciple of Old Master Ye at the scene, so he kept silent.
Mu Ying arched her hand at Li Xin with some excitement.
"Master Hou ordered, we have been preparing for so many years, and we can't hold it back for a long time!"
Li Xin opened his eyes, glanced at Mu Ying deeply, and then spoke: "Brother Mu, now that the Southwest Army is out of the Sword Gate Pass, facing the 100,000 troops in Hanzhong and the 50,000 troops in Ankang Pei Jin, what are the odds?" ”
"Ten percent!"
Mu Ying replied without hesitation, he said with some excitement: "Jincheng has produced a lot of heavenly thunder over the years, we have been training for so many years, even if it is still not as good as the Pingnan Army back then, it is not much worse, at this time, it is only a matter of how much to pay for the army of the imperial court, and there is no question of whether we can win or not!" ”
Although there are only 150,000 or 60,000 people in the southwest, today's military quality is directly catching up with the elite Pingnan Army back then, coupled with the blessing of the thunder and the familiarity with the terrain of the southwest, the 150,000 people placed by the imperial court at the southwest gate are unlikely to block the southwest army from Shu.
Of course, after the Southwest Army leaves the Southwest, it is unknown how many chances it will have to really face the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.
"That's good."
Li Xin opened his eyes and said slowly: "Pass the order, prepare for battle, and wait for news from the north at the same time, once the war in the north is fierce, Mu Ying, you and Li Shuo, each lead 50,000 people out of Shu, attack Hanzhong, and be healthy!" ”
Hearing Li Xin's words, the black-faced Mu Ying's face almost faintly red, and he immediately stood up and bent over Li Xin and clenched his fists: "Subordinate, respect the order!" ”
But Zhao Jia heard something different, the white-clothed envoy frowned, looked at Li Xin and said, "What about you, Master Hou?" ”
Li Xin grinned: "Since my resignation, the Son of Heaven has issued five holy decrees to summon me back to Beijing, and it is difficult to resist the hospitality. ”
"In a few days, when the news from the north is clearer, I will leave for Beijing."
Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Zhao Jia and said slowly: "Go and clean up the mess." ”
When Mu Ying heard this, his face changed greatly, and Zhao Jia seemed to have guessed something, and he was not surprised, he looked at Li Xin and sighed deeply: "There is something feasible in doing this, but Master Hou, you go in person, it's too risky." ”
"No one else can do it but me."
The Marquis of Jing'an's face was calm, he turned his head to look at Mu Ying, and said with a smile: "As long as Brother Mu is not bragging, and can really break the imperial army, then I will be absolutely safe in the capital, and the more beautiful this battle in the southwest, the louder my voice will be in the capital." ”
Speaking of this, Marquis Li paused, then half-squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "Of course, Brother Mu can also deliberately lose this battle and let me die in the capital." ”
As soon as Li Xin died, the southwest was under the Shu King's Mansion, and the current King of Shu was Mu Ying's son, so Li Xin would say such a sentence and knock the Mu family a little.
Mu Ying was dripping in cold sweat, he pounced, knelt in front of Li Xin, kowtowed, and said, "Master Hou, my subordinates will never have such thoughts!" ”
"Up and down in the southwest, there will be no such thoughts!"
Zhao Jia, who was dressed in white, stood up from the chair, he straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully to Li Xin.
"Frankly speaking, I still don't support Hou Ye to enter Beijing, but over the years, Hou Ye has made a decision, and no one can change it, so I won't persuade it."
"I read history when I was a teenager, and there are countless heroes in the history books, each leading the way for decades, dominating the world, they are either decisive in killing, or invincible heroes, and it is fascinating to read."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jia exhaled a breath and said to Li Xinzuo: "When they were young, they were all people whom Zhao Jia admired, but now that they are middle-aged, they suddenly feel that they have a lack of human flavor. ”
"Compared to them, Master Hou, you are more like a living person."
