Li Xing is an extremely key figure in the situation in the southwest, he may not be a big man at Li Shen's level, but no matter what, he can be regarded as a smart person.

A smart guy who is a little ruthless.

This can be seen from the fact that he killed his brother Li Fu back then, when the little highness was clamoring all day long to revive the Southern Han Dynasty, and even to sever the cooperative relationship with the Pingnan Hou Mansion, which put all the remnants of Nanshu in a dangerous situation at that time, so Li Xing took him to the capital to "assassinate" the Son of Heaven.

The little highness Li Fu, who was a bit of a middle two, really went.

As a result, he died at the hands of Li Xin.

Li Xin was involved in this matter, so his image of Li Xing was extremely profound.

The two of them sat down in the tent, and Li Xin waved his hand and let everyone out.

At this time, it was early spring, the cold was still very heavy, and the camp tent was not like the capital, you could burn charcoal in the stove to keep warm, Li Xin casually threw a piece of wood in the brazier in the camp tent, and then sat down again with a smile.

He looked at Li Xing lightly.

"Your Highness, you are a smart person, you should be able to see the situation in the southwest at a glance, and now that Li Shen wants to support the rebellion of the abolished prince, none of the remnants of Nanshu under your command will be willing to cooperate with the people of the Ji family, let alone go to the battlefield to die for the sake of a person from the Ji family."

Li Xin's words hit the nail on the head.

The cornerstone of the cooperation between the remnants of Nanshu and Li Shen is to fight against the imperial court together, and now although Li Shen is also fighting against the imperial court, he is fighting against the imperial court under the reputation of the prince of the Ji family, which is completely contrary to the remnants of Nanshu.

In other words, even if Li Shen wanted to coerce the remnants of Nanshu to rebel, Li Xing himself agreed, and those low-level remnants of Nanshu would not be willing to die.

This is also the reason why Li Xing came to see Li Xin today, and he also wants to find a way out of this predicament.

His Royal Highness picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and then looked up at the Marquis of Jing'an.

"Hou Ye Li thinks that we, the remnants of Nanshu, should do?"

Li Xin smiled slightly: "No matter what you do, your alliance with the Pingnan Army for more than ten years is at least going to be broken, Li Shen could have gotten along well with the imperial court, he joined forces with you and didn't say anything else, there is no problem in holding the southwest, the imperial court is afraid of the two of you, and there is no intention of moving the southwest, but Li Shen is a ...... person."

"The ambition is too heavy."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused.

"His Royal Highness should be able to see that the so-called abolished prince is just a puppet of the Pingnan Army, a big banner raised by Li Shen, Li Shen doesn't want to stick to the southwest, he wants to use this big banner...... Become a powerful minister who monopolizes the power of the imperial court. ”

Marquis Jing'an lowered his voice.

He even wanted to...... Be an emperor. ”

The above paragraph is completely Li Xin smearing Li Shen, but the smear is justified.

The reason why Li Shen raised the flag to rebel was because the imperial court was about to turn against the southwest, and if he didn't react, the Pingnan army would fall apart within three or five years, and now he just made the first move.

But what is the specific attitude of the imperial court, Li Xing doesn't know here, and what Li Xin says is what it is.

As an upstart in the imperial court, and now one of the generals of the imperial court to conquer the southwest, the words that came out of Li Xin's mouth were undoubtedly very convincing.

His Royal Highness, Nanshu, sat in his place and was silent for a long time, and he finally looked up at Li Xin.

"What does Hou Ye Li mean?"

"Your Highness, you have no other way to go."

Li Xin's face was calm.

"Li Shen has now pulled the flag and rebelled, Your Highness might as well think about it, what the consequences will be."

"If he really wins and takes the abolished prince into the capital, His Highness, the remnants of Nanshu who have "cooperated" with him, will become a stain, and if you don't cooperate when he raises troops, he will definitely be angry, and then you will be the first target of his attack. ”

In this situation, it is inevitable that the cooperation between the remnants of Nanshu and Li Shen will break down, because at this time, even if His Royal Highness Li Xing is willing to continue to send troops to help Li Shen, those remnants of Nanshu under him will not be willing.

In other words, their best attitude towards the Pingnan Army is to wait and see, and it is impossible to help them.

Li Xing's face sank like water.

Marquis Jing'an continued to smile and said, "Then let's talk about what the result will be if Li Shen loses." ”

"The Pingnan Hou Mansion has been divided in the southwest for so many years, and none of the three generations of the imperial court does not want to take back Shu County, once the military defeat of Pingnan, the imperial court will inevitably start to recover the southwest, and then you, the remnants of Southern Shu, will become the last obstacle, even if the imperial court is exhausted at that time, they will grit their teeth, work in one fell swoop, and hold all the southwest in their hands."

Li Xin looked at His Highness Nanshu with a smile.

"Your Highness, do you think what I said makes sense?"

It certainly makes sense.

What Li Xin said now, although it is just a deduction, it is almost a thing that will definitely become a fact, even Li Shen can probably see these things, but there is no way, the abolition of the prince is far more useful to him than these remnants of Nanshu, and he has to make a choice.

Li Xing was silent for a long time, and finally spoke astringently: "Master Li...... Is there any alcohol? ”

Li Xin squinted his eyes, walked out of the tent with his hands in his hands, and then hugged him a small jar of Zhurong wine used to "disinfect" and poured him half a bowl.

Li Xing raised his head and took a sip, drank half a bowl of wine, and then choked and coughed.

He had not drunk this spirit.

Li Xin didn't speak, just stood quietly and watched.

After a long time, the tent was quiet.

Li Xing looked up at the young Hou Ye in front of him, then took a deep breath and said slowly: "What does Hou Ye mean, let us surrender to the imperial court?" ”

Li Xin shook his head.

"You can't accept a deposed prince, and it's not realistic to ask you to take refuge in the imperial court."

Li Xingda frowned.

"What does Master Hou mean?"

A smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

"It's better to take refuge in ...... How am I? ”

Li Xing was stunned.

He couldn't understand why the young man in front of him, who looked like he was only about twenty years old, had the face to say such arrogant words.

Take refuge in him?

There are still 50,000 soldiers in the remnants of Nanshu who can fight, if you count according to the number of households, let alone 100,000 households, this is an extremely huge force, and it can almost be placed on the same level as the Great Jin Imperial Court!

There is another way to say that he took refuge in the imperial court.

Seek refuge in such a hairy boy, why?

Li Xing was stunned for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked astringently, "Why?" ”

"Why?"

Li Xin first repeated, and then replied with a smile: "Just because you are now at a dead end, only I can build a third way out for you." ”

"It's with today's Nanshu. If there is no Benhou, at most three or five years, you will cease to exist. ”

Li Xing still didn't understand what Li Xin was talking about.

"Master Li, I don't understand, how can you give us a way out?"

Marquis Jing'an said with a smile.

"You have to agree first, and Ben Hou can speak."

Seeing that His Highness frowned, Li Xin added lightly.

"It has been more than thirty years since the fall of Nanshu, and the living should think about how to live, not about the dead in the past, Your Highness, do you say?"
