The court is unwilling to fight, what can I do. ”

Li Xin took a step of chess carelessly, and said helplessly: "Can't I sneak to the north and lead Ye Mao to fight with the people of the Yuwen family?" Not to mention the 100,000 Zhenbei Army, whether they can win the Yuwen Department, even if they win, without the logistics supply of the imperial court, at most two months, there will be no food. ”

"The Son of Heaven and those scholars have obviously discussed it, and the matter has come to this point, and I don't want to quarrel with them anymore, what should they do if they like it."

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Jing'an was silent for a while, and slowly exhaled: "It's a pity that this large part of the military merits in Northern Xinjiang was enough for Ye Mao to sit firmly in the position of the general, and it was not so easy for the Zhenbei Army to be idle." ”

At this time, Li Xin had already gained the upper hand in the chess game, and if he played for a maximum of five or six rounds, Ye Ming's general would have no way to live, General Ye was silent, put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and coughed: "Just talk to Chang'an, the food at home has been ready for a while, Chang'an should not have eaten yet, the two of us brothers are talking while eating." ”

As he spoke, he began to gather the chess pieces.

The Ye family is used to it, and in the early years, Old Man Ye was this virtue, Li Xin didn't care, and smiled dumbly: "Although Senior Brother and Master Ye don't look alike, they are really the same in their bones." ”

General Ye didn't realize it, and put the chess pieces into the chess box by himself.

While collecting the chess, he said, "The letter sent back by the fourth child yesterday was delivered to me. ”

General Ye glanced up at Li Xin and sighed slightly: "The fourth elder said that the army in the southwest took the initiative to go out of the Sword Pavilion, and even drove to the city of Hanzhong to provoke for a time, and 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 Li Zhijie and Li Shen's father and son, what are you going to do next?" ”

Li Xin also helped to put away the chess pieces, and he said lightly: "The southwest took the initiative to fight with 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 thief, if they cut me off with a hot brain, where can I find a place to reason?" ”

"But if this continues, sooner or later you will follow Li Shen's old path."

Ye Ming frowned: "The huge Pingnan Hou Mansion has been wiped out, with this kind of experience from the past, Chang'an, you shouldn't repeat the mistakes of the past." ”

Li Xin put the last "handsome" into the chess box, then looked up at Ye Ming, and smiled slightly: "In this way, senior brother and I will work together to pull the Son of Heaven down from this position and help the fourth prince up, and then the Son of Heaven will become his own person, 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 forty years, no matter what he says here, he doesn't have to worry about spreading it outside, so Li Xin is so outspoken.

Ye Ming only frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Today's Son of Heaven is not a family with you?"

"Is he your nephew, or your student, in terms of relationship is much closer than the fourth prince and you, isn't he the same as being strict against you?"

"The troops in the southwest will not disperse for a day, no matter who achieves that position, the relationship with you will not be good, it is not a question of who will be the emperor."

General Ye narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It's you, Li Changan, who can't get along with that chair." ”

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

"I have asked Uncle Zhou to disperse all the subordinates, and now within ten zhang of this courtyard, there is no third person, for my brother, I will say a few unsightly words to you."

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

"Are you going to be emperor?"

Ye Ming's expression was solemn.

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Didn't Senior Brother already ask this question, why did you ask it again?" ”

"This time is different from the last time."

General Ye's voice was low.

"Last time, Brother Wei felt that even if you were against it, you were incapable, but after receiving the letter from the fourth brother yesterday, Brother Wei's opinion is different."

"Last night, I didn't close my eyes all night, and I calculated in detail how much difference you are between you and the imperial court now."

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 Pingnan Hou Mansion, at best, it is worth half of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, even if you can hold Shu County, you can't get out of the Sword Gate, and you can't make a big deal." ”

"But this time, your army in the southwest easily won the Hanzhong army under the hands of the fourth brother, and the fourth brother said in the letter that it was the forbidden army that fought against the southwest army, not the garrison of Hanzhong."

"I've done the math for my brother."

"The thirty-one state capitals in the southwest, according to the population of Taikang in the eight years, there are almost one million households, plus those people in the mountains, I am afraid there are eight or nine million people."

"The southwest is no longer taxed to the imperial court, it is a country of its own, with Zhao Jia to help you take care of the southwest, you can raise more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and if you force conscription, you can have more."

"The heavenly thunder you made, Lao Sixin also told me in detail, although it can't kill people, but it is extremely useful when charging into formation, the two armies are facing each other, as long as one of the formations is dispersed, the other side will immediately have the upper hand, and even win a big victory."

"I have estimated that if your southwest can get more than 150,000 soldiers and horses, sufficient grain and grass, and enough thunder, only these 150,000 people will be able to defeat the two battalions of the forbidden army in Gyeonggi."

"Besides, you are still the general of the right battalion of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, if you hit the capital city, you don't have to fight the right battalion to the end, as long as you win a few battles, your old department in the right battalion may follow you."

Li Xin winked at Ye Ming, and said with a smile: "Senior brother forgot, the Great Jin is not only the forbidden army, but also the border army and garrisons in various places, assuming that the southwest really rebels, they come to the capital to Qin Wang, isn't it also a dead end." ”

"Just find a clan to be a big banner, and you can let the garrisons from all over the country watch the fire from across the river."

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

The Marquis of Jing'an asked with a smile: "What about the army over there?" ”

"It is unlikely that the Ye family will be embarrassed by you in this kind of matter, so when Brother Wei estimated, he eliminated the Zhenbei army from it, and what was left was nothing more than the 50,000 garrisons on the border of Tubo and the 100,000 family troops in Yunzhou."

"The garrison on the Tibetan border is not a big problem, as for the seed army, as long as you contact Yuwen Zhao, you can easily drag them down and make them unable to move."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming closed his eyes and said slowly: "My leading soldiers is very different from my father's leading soldiers, my father's leading soldiers pays attention to a brave word, and I like to deduce the battle situation, I deduced the whole night in the room last night, if the southwest rebels, the odds of victory are not low." ”

"At least three or four percent of the hopes."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "If the Ye family participates and goes, there will be fifty or sixty percent or even higher certainty." ”

Mrs. Li blinked and said with a smile: "The Ye family has a big business, and the senior brother is cautious by nature, so he won't play in this kind of thing." ”

"But I don't have much to live."

General Ye sighed a little helplessly.

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