When Emperor Wu sent Li Zhijie and Ye Sheng to fight in the south and north, Ye Ming was also in the capital as a "quality", but unfortunately, he was more than ten years older than Li Shen and Chengde Tianzi, so he was not able to play together, but they really knew each other, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were old friends.

Li Shen shook his head slowly and muttered to himself.

"The little emperor transferred him back from the north, and the fourth old man of the Ye family should be the Zhenbei Army who took over Jimen Pass."

"The little emperor actually dared to delegate power to the Ye family so much, and he was a little bolder than his father."

Although he called Taikang Tianzi and the puppet emperor on the surface, in fact, he still recognized this emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, after all, he was the emperor who ascended the throne and became the emperor.

In private, Li Shen didn't want to say those hypocritical words, so he was called the little emperor.

As for the Ye family......

At the beginning, Ye Sheng was imprisoned in the capital for more than 30 years, because Emperor Wu and Emperor Chengde, two generations of emperors, were too jealous of the Ye family, and the Ye family failed to develop much in the entire Chengde Dynasty, but in the Taikang Dynasty, because the Ye family had a meritorious service, the Taikang Emperor continued not to maintain the policy of the first two generations.

Of course, part of the reason for this is also because Ye Sheng is old enough.

is too old to go into battle to fight, and too old to pose any threat to the imperial power, so Taikang Tianzi relaxed the control of the Ye family, allowing the Ye family to have two brothers and two military forces at the same time.

For these so-called imperial mental techniques, Li Shendong is like watching the fire.

Then he began to read the letter.

"Jin Chen, my brother Taijian."

……

"The previous brother and the younger brother met each other, it was still the old time of Chengde, when the son of heaven was shengshou, the capital was boiling, and it was three years in the blink of an eye."

"Jin Chen's young man was awarded the pillar country, proud of the court, the old friends in Beijing in the past are all envious, the two generations of Pingnan Houfu have received the grace of the country, all of them are extremely ministers, now the Great Jin Dynasty has been more than 30 years, it is the time to create a prosperous world, it should never be against the times and the trend, which is the stakes, Jin Chen is involved in the court deeper, should not need to be repeated by the foolish brother."

"The change of the throne is a family affair of the emperor, the name of the heavenly family has been decided, and our courtiers should no longer interfere in it, Jin Chen was confused for a while, but fortunately, the matter is not deep, as long as Jin Chen is willing to send the abolished prince back to Beijing, the foolish brother can intercede for the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion is still the Pingnan Hou Mansion."

……

The letter is long, but that's pretty much it.

After Li Shen took a brief look at it, he casually threw this thing back into Li Yan's hand, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Ye Ming's guy can only fight and not study, and he also learns from others to drag texts, which looks very awkward."

Li Yan took the letter, looked up and down, and then looked up at Ping Nanhou, who had a calm face.

"Big brother, what did he mean by writing this letter?"

"Can't you read the words?"

Li Shen said lightly: "First, it is to persuade the emperor to surrender, this is probably the meaning of the little emperor, and the imperial court doesn't want to be tough with us, so as long as they can return to the prince, most of them will indeed take it for the time being." ”

"The second is that this Ye Shaobao wants to play tricks on himself."

Li Shen narrowed his eyes.

"This guy wants to mess with our army's heart."

Li Yan had basically never been out of the southwest, and he didn't know much about Ye Ming, so he lowered his head and hesitated, and asked, "Big brother, this Ye Ming...?" ”

"It's amazing......"

Li Shen sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "He went to Jimen Pass alone in his thirties to take over the Zhenbei Army, the Zhenbei Army is very different from the Pingnan Army, it is not the Ye family's private army, but the army of the Zheng'er Bajing Imperial Court, Ye Ming only took less than three years to completely take over Jimen Pass, and in the next ten years, the Zhenbei Army of Jimen Pass did not taste defeat in the face of the remnants of Zhou. ”

"It's my father Ye Sheng, and it's nothing more than that."

Speaking of this, Li Shen sighed slightly.

"If he leads the troops, he won't easily enter the mountains of Shu County."

……………………

When Ye Ming's army approached the southwest day by day, the "logistics" troops led by Li Xin were also slowly approaching the southwest.

Because of the relationship between escorting grain and grass, their speed was somewhat slower than that of Ye Ming's side, but Li Xin was not in a hurry, he set up camp after dark, set off again when the sun rose, and marched towards the southwest unhurriedly.

But Mu Ying was very busy.

Because he wanted to help Li Xin contact the remnants of Nanshu in the southwest.

At this time, the time has reached the middle of February, which is the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the wildflowers on the roadside stretch their bodies and bloom with colorful and beautiful petals, but unfortunately, it has just reached the most beautiful time of its life, and it has been ruthlessly trampled by a group of people who do not understand the customs.

A beautiful wildflower has a different head.

The culprit was dressed in black, and two people were followed behind him.

The two people were black and white, and the black-faced man bowed his head and said, "Master Hou, Your Highness Li Xing, the remnants, want to come to see you." ”

The several years of official eunuch career has made Mu Ying forget his identity as a remnant, and now he has been separated from those remnants of Nanshu intentionally or unintentionally.

This is very normal is that no one wants to be an unsightly thief for the rest of their lives, since there is no way to succeed in the rebellion, then they should honestly follow others.

Li Xin, who was dressed in black, stepped on the head of a wildflower again, and then turned back to Mu Ying and said, "When is he going to come?" ”

Originally, Li Xin's strategy for the southwest was to use the Mu family as a skipper and pry the situation in southern Xinjiang, but it was a time of peace, and once the war started, the strength of the Mu family was not enough.

Li Xin needed the help of His Royal Highness Nanshu.

It just so happens that the remnants of Nanshu are also a little unhappy with the banner supported by the Nanhou Mansion, after all, they have a grudge against the Great Jin Dynasty to destroy the country, how can they support a prince of the Great Jin Dynasty?

"I guess I'll leave in the next two days."

Mu Ying said with a smile: "Your Highness, he is probably also in a hurry now, the more Li Shen plays the loyal minister of the Great Jin over there, the greater the pressure he will face." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "Send him a letter and tell him to be careful when he goes out of Shu, and don't let Li Shen find out, otherwise that Pingnanhou will not be allowed to come out like this." ”

"Master Hou, don't worry, Li Xing is a cautious person, since he wants to come to see you, he will definitely be completely prepared."

Li Xin nodded, turned around and continued to walk in front of the two of them.

Suddenly, Li Xin glanced back at Zhao Jia.

"Brother You'an, give me some perspective on the situation?"

Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said, "What does Master Hou want to hear?" ”

"Tell me, will Ye Shaobao and Li Shen fight immediately, and what will be the outcome or defeat?"

"There won't be a fight for the time being."

Zhao Jia's tone was firm.

"Most of the grain and grass on Ye Shaobao's side is here with Hou Ye, the logistics do not allow it, he will not take risks easily, as for the Pingnan Army's side, they are fighting against the world in a corner, and they don't dare to take the initiative to attack, in the future, before Hou Ye and Ye Shaobao converge, they will not fight."

Li Xin said lightly: "If they fight, who will win?" ”

Zhao Jia lowered his head and hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "That's probably the Pingnan Army will win." ”

Li Xin glanced back at this scholar from Chen Guogong's Mansion and said with a smile: "How can you see it? ”

"Because the Pingnan army can't afford to lose."

Zhao Jia bowed his head and said.

"So this first battle, they have to win."
