Six hours, or twelve hours, is a long time.

Li Xin honestly abided by the agreement, for six hours, while he made a fire to make food and let the soldiers rest, he tried his best to arrange for doctors to treat the wounded soldiers, and even when the Pingnan army proposed to pick up the wounded soldiers they had too late to withdraw, the Marquis of Jing'an also generously asked them to send 500 people in to withdraw the Pingnan army that had not had time to withdraw to the main formation.

The night soon fell.

At this time, most of Mianzhu City had been occupied by Li Xin's department, and Li Xin climbed to the highest restaurant in the south of Mianzhu City, drinking tea with Zhao Jia while looking at the position of the Pingnan Army.

At this time, the little grandfather who hadn't closed his eyes for two days had already gone down to rest, and there were only two people in this restaurant, Li Xin and Zhao Jia.

Each of the two had a clairvoyant mirror.

This thing is a rare commodity in the imperial court, but because this thing was invented by Li Xin, and later the technology was also handed over to the Ministry of Industry, after the Ministry of Industry made a new batch, Li Xin went to the back door to take a few, and then sent another one to his own dog-headed military division.

Li Xin sat calmly on the third floor drinking tea, but Zhao Jia was not as calm as Li Xin, he would stand up from time to time and use a clairvoyant mirror to take a look at the position of the Pingnan Army.

In terms of intelligence, he is even a little more powerful than Li Xin, but after all, he has not seen too many big scenes, and when he encounters major events, he is far less calm than Li Xin.

After looking at it for a while, Zhao Jia sat back opposite Li Xin, and then asked, "Master Hou, do you think they will withdraw from Mianzhu?" ”

Li Xin gave him a blank look.

"I'm not a celestial master who can pinch and calculate, how do I know?"

Zhao Jia muttered in a low voice.

"You don't count, you can lead the thunder......"

Li Xin coughed, and then said helplessly: "Try not to mention this matter in the future." ”

Zhao Jia nodded, and did not continue to talk about the thunder.

The Marquis of Jing'an lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Brother You'an doesn't have to be in such a hurry, they can't get out of the city, and the ending is the same." ”

Zhao Jia was a little puzzled.

"How is it the same ......"

Li Xin winked at him and said with a smile: "If they don't withdraw, if they vent their anger tomorrow, Ye Mao should be able to eat them easily." ”

"Cheng Fatzi is also very clear about this, originally he saw that the war was wrong, he should have taken the initiative to withdraw from Mianzhu, but he couldn't afford to lose Mianzhu, at least he couldn't afford to lose Mianzhu so quickly, so he didn't decisively quit Mianzhu."

"He returned to Jincheng, and Li Shen would never spare him."

"As for his final choice, it's up to him tomorrow morning..."

"If he goes out of town, it will be even better."

Speaking of this, Li Xin poured Zhao Jia a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "Brother You'an, you have to be calm, you can't hold your breath like this, how will you be the mastermind of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion in the future?" ”

Hearing the words "master", Zhao Jia was slightly moved, he slowly stood up, and arched his hand to Li Xin: "Thank you Lord Hou for your love." ”

Li Xin smiled: "Brother You'an's ability is here, I'm afraid that my Jing'an Houfu Temple is small, and Brother You'an can't look down on it." ”

Zhao Jia shook his head slowly, he looked at Li Xin and Zhao Xian seriously, and said word by word.

"The second largest temple in the world is about to collapse, and the Jing'an Hou Mansion will soon become the next big temple."

Li Xin shook his head.

"And Chen Guogong's Mansion."

Zhao Youan shook his head again.

"To say something that is not very good, since the Ye family has been the old man Ye, no one is suitable for mixing in the court, and the only Uncle Ye with a suitable personality is just two words of caution, although the Ye family is large enough, but it cannot be regarded as a good temple."

Zhao Jia almost grew up in the Chen Guogong Mansion, and he has more say in the Chen Guogong Mansion than Li Xin.

Li Xin said with a smile: "Then why don't you go to the biggest temple in the world to give it a try?" ”

Zhao Jia bowed his head and said: "That temple is too big, we must pay attention to our background, pay attention to the foundation, pay attention to sleekness, Zhao Jia has no background, second, no foundation, and third, I am not very good at the source, in that big temple, it will be submerged in the dust." ”

"The one sitting on it can't see me."

The Marquis of Jing'an also stood up and patted Zhao Jia on the shoulder.

"Brother You'an, from today onwards, you and I are in the same boat."

…………

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky did not brighten, Cheng Ping gave his answer.

He chose to withdraw from Mianzhu.

Just as the Pingnan Army was slowly withdrawing from Mianzhu, the fat general asked to see Li Xin.

The Marquis of Jing'an hadn't slept yet, and he readily agreed.

This time, Li Xin didn't move, he waited in this restaurant, and the fat general personally came to Li Xin's sphere of influence to "see" Li Xin.

By this time, it was almost dawn.

The dog-headed military master Zhao Jia couldn't stand it, so he went back to sleep first, Li Xin's physical fitness was much better, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time.

The wooden staircase creaked.

This is the sound of Cheng Fatzi stepping on the stairs.

Li Xin'an sat in his seat, and when he saw Cheng Fatzi walking up, the Marquis of Jing'an didn't get up, but just waved at him with a smile: "Long time no see, General Cheng." ”

The last time the two met, it was the eighteenth year of Chengde.

At that time, Cheng Ping regarded Li Xin as a child and didn't take him seriously at all.

Even fooling him like a fool.

But at this time, the world has changed.

Today's Marquis of Jing'an has an absolute advantage on the scene, whether it is momentum or initiative, it is on Li Xin's side.

Cheng Fatzi had already taken off his armor at this time, took a deep breath, and sat opposite Li Xin.

"Long time no see, Master Li."

Li Xin's eyes narrowed, and he said lightly: "I remember that two years ago, General Cheng took Benhou to go through southern Xinjiang, when General Cheng took 20,000 people and conquered all the counties in Hanzhou in one month, so it was not majestic. ”

Cheng Ping glanced at Li Xin deeply.

"Is Jing'anhou going to settle the old accounts of the year?"

Li Xin shook his head: "I'm not so bored, this time it's General Cheng who wants to see Ben Hou, not Ben Hou who wants to see General Cheng." ”

Cheng Ping was silent for a while, and then lowered his eyebrows and said: "The 20,000 defenders of Mianzhu have only been defended for less than four days, and when I return to Jincheng, most of them will be punished by the general." ”

"It doesn't matter if I die or not, but there's one thing I don't understand."

At this, his eyes widened.

"I came here to ask Li Gongzi, what is it that broke the gate of Mianzhu!"

Li Xin didn't answer this question, but glanced at Cheng Ping with a smile.

"If General Cheng returns to Jincheng and will die, it is better to go to the capital with me, you go back to the capital with me, I will not guarantee you wealth and wealth, I will protect your life."

"I believe that Li Gongzi can save my life."

Cheng Fatzi was expressionless: "But my whole family is in Jincheng, how can Li Gongzi save their lives?" ”

"Cheng Ping has followed the general for decades, and he has never had the intention of betraying, he didn't have it before, and he won't have it now."

"There's only one thing I want to know!"

Cheng Fatzi stood up and gritted his teeth.

"What the hell is it, breaking open the gate of Mianzhu!"

He was too unconvinced to lose.

Li Xin
