The great victory in Northern Xinjiang, no matter from what point of view, is a good thing, not to mention that the Yuwen Zhubu has been hit hard, Northern Xinjiang can be stable for a few more years, just to say that Ye Mao has made such a great contribution, the Ye family's voice in the court will be greater.

The Ye family and Li Xin are in the same breath, the Ye family's voice is a little louder, and Li Xin can also be more stable.

After Li Xin finished reading the letter in Ye Luan's hand, he muttered: "The Yuwen Futu Department has been hit hard, and it can't make the Yuwen Department really live in peace, as long as Yuwen Zhao digests it for a few years, the Yuwen Vertical Department will be stronger and stronger, the Zhenbei Army has already contributed, and at this time, the seed army in Yunzhou needs to also contribute, and send troops to wipe out the Yuwen Qigui Department, so that the northern Xinjiang will have at least twenty years of stability." ”

"If someone in the northern Xinjiang operates, the remaining Yuwen Helan Department will also fight with the Yuwen Zhao Ministry, and at least one or two generations of people in the Northern Xinjiang will not be a threat."

These are all things that Li Xin calculated when he was in Northern Xinjiang, and when he was in Jizhou City, he also personally came forward to contact the seed family, but Ye Mao may not be a problem with fighting, but his communication skills are very different from Li Xin, he is in charge of Jizhou City, and it is basically impossible to contact the seed family.

Ye Lan shook his head: "At this time, the court is unstable, and most of the family army will not take risks. ”

Speaking of this, he frowned and said: "And the head of the seed family, Chong Xuantong, is already on the way back to Beijing at this time, and now the seed army in Yunzhou is led by his son Seed Master Dao, and there is no Seed Xuantong in the southwest to preside over the overall situation, and the Seed Master Dao will most likely stick to the city." ”

Hearing the name "Seed Master Dao", Li Xin frowned, then returned to normal, shook his head and said: "That's it, the affairs of Northern Xinjiang have nothing to do with me, let the people of the imperial court and the seed family make their own decisions." ”

"When Senior Brother replied to Ye Mao, he also brought a message for me."

Ye Lan nodded.

"You say."

"Yuwen Zhao is a person who can be called the hero of the previous generation, although the Zhenbei Army has divided the territory of the Futu Department with him, but Yuwen Zhao must want to get all the territory of the Futu Department, once the Yuwen Zhao Department and the Zhenbei Army compete for territory, then don't hesitate, retreat to the Zhenbei Army to stick to the city pass, and temporarily avoid the edge."

Ye Xuan nodded.

"I'll write to Ye Mao."

Because Ye Lan still had to enter the palace to report the victory, after the two brothers said a few words, Ye Lan left, while Li Xin got into the carriage and returned to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

In the next two days, Li Xin didn't go anywhere, just quietly waiting for news from the palace in the Jing'an Marquis's mansion.

On the third day, the news from the palace did not wait, but waited for a young man.

The young man was wearing an ordinary cotton robe, and after entering Yongle Fang alone, under the gaze of I don't know how many people in the secret, he went straight to the gate of the Jing'an Hou Mansion and asked to see Li Xin.

At this time, there are not many people who dare to come to the Jing'an Hou Mansion, so as long as it is a door-to-door visit, the porter will notify it.

This young man was waiting quietly at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

If he couldn't see Jing Anhou, after turning around and leaving, he would immediately be arrested and thrown into a secret prison to be tortured.

Evidently the young man's name was useful, and in a short time the porter came out and led him in.

The Jing'an Hou Mansion is very large, and the two of them walked around the Hou Mansion before they walked to the back garden of the Hou Mansion, and under the wooden pavilion in the back garden, there was a Hou Ye dressed in black.

The young man took a deep breath, walked over, and bowed his head deeply to Li Xin under the pavilion and clenched his fists: "I've seen my brother." ”

At this time, Li Shen, who had a grudge against Li Xin, had been buried in Huangquan for six years, and the resentment in his heart had dissipated a lot, and even six years ago, he didn't have much bad feelings towards Li Shuo, and he didn't say anything when he heard it, just said lightly: "I'm not your brother." ”

"What are you doing in the capital at this time?"

Li Shuo bowed his head and said, "I'm here to see my brother." ”

Marquis Jing'an pointed to the seat opposite him.

"Sit down and talk."

Li Shuo walked over and sat opposite Li Xin quite respectfully.

"I haven't seen you for many years, how is my brother in recent years?"

Li Xin didn't answer this sentence, and after taking a sip of tea from the teacup, he spoke: "Although your father Li Shen and your adoptive father Li Yan were not killed by me, it can be said that they both died indirectly in my hands, don't you hate me?" ”

Li Shuo said in a low voice: "I have a similar experience with my brother, and I used to have a grudge against my two fathers, so I can't say anything about hating my brother." ”

Li Shuo's mother is an ordinary subordinate in General Pingnan's mansion, although he is Li Shen's son, but in order to hide his identity, he has been fostered in Li Yan's house since he was a child, whether it is Li Shen or Li Yan, they are all that kind of serious cold noodles, so Li Shuo has not been exposed to any warmth in nature since he was a child.

He is indeed Li Shen's son, but when Jincheng broke the city, it can be said that he single-handedly promoted it, so naturally he has no hatred for Li Xin.

Li Xin squinted.

"What are you doing in the capital?"

"The situation in the southwest is complicated, what is it like behind the scenes, the younger brother is young, and he can't figure it out, plus he still has a net worth of more than 100,000 people, and he doesn't dare to make mistakes, so he came to the capital to ask his brother for advice."

"You have more than 100,000 lives on your shoulders?"

Li Xin looked at Li Shuo and asked with a smile: "If I remember correctly, it was the two deputy generals of the Pingnan Army who left Jincheng with the Pingnan Army, and they listened to you?" ”

There were four or five deputy generals in the Pingnan Army, and Cheng Ping, Li Yan and others died in the Western Expedition, but the other two deputy generals did not die, they left Jincheng with sixty or seventy thousand Pingnan troops and found a place to live.

Otherwise, Li Shuo was still a sixteen-year-old young man, where did he have the ability to travel long distances with more than 100,000 people?

Li Shuo's face was calm: "Two uncles, I can have the final say." ”

The Marquis of Jing'an was immediately impressed.

"How?"

Li Shuo said quietly: "The middle-level generals of the Pingnan Army all recognize the bloodline of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and the younger brother has been fighting in the Pingnan Army since he was a child, and he will naturally be able to take charge of things when he becomes an adult." ”

"Tsk."

The Marquis of Jing'an sighed a few words, and said with a smile: "It's not easy, it seems that the two generations of Pingnanhou have been operating very well in the southwest, otherwise don't say that you, the bloodline of Pingnanhou, is the emperor's bloodline, and it may not be so easy to use." ”

Li Xin smiled and continued: "Come to the capital by yourself, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out?" ”

"On your way into my Hou Mansion, there are at least dozens of pairs of eyes looking at you."

"I came in directly."

Li Shuo bowed his head slightly: "The situation of the elder brother, the younger brother already knows a little bit, if I look outside the Jing'an Hou Mansion, most of them have been arrested by the people of the Great Jin Imperial Court at this moment, but I walked directly to the door of the Hou Mansion, and after entering the Hou Mansion, no one will do anything to me." ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Li Xin.

"As for whether the younger brother can go to the capital or not, it depends on the elder brother."

"You're not bold."

Li Shuo lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that you're not bold, it's that there's no way." ”

He looked up at Li Xin, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't hide it from my brother, Southwest Muying and others can successfully take the Sword Pavilion, and the Pingnan Army under the younger brother... I also made a lot of effort. ”

"Over the years, the group of people who left the capital had a bad time."

"Without a brother, the younger brother has no way to take them to settle down in the southwest, no matter what, the younger brother has to meet the elder brother."

Originally, Zhao Jia wrote a letter to Li Xin to explain the situation in the southwest, but at this time, the Jing'an Hou Mansion was stared at all up, and the letter was not able to be sent in.

Therefore, Li Xin only learned about the recent situation in the southwest from Li Shuo's mouth.

He sat at the bottom of the pavilion and quietly looked at the young man in front of him who was somewhat similar to himself, with a smile on his face.

"Honestly, you're too impatient."

"If you can wait a few more months, and when the Hanzhou Army comes out, you can still wait for the price to sell, and you can't wait to get involved at this time, it will be difficult to ask for a good price."
