Li Xin slept comfortably.

To be honest, during his time in Fucheng, he has not slept well because Fucheng is not very safe.

Fucheng is compared to Mianzhu, the city wall is low, and the city is too narrow, Li Xin has a lot of people, but it is not easy to guard Fucheng, but Mianzhu is very different.

Mianzhu can be said to be the first acropolis of Jincheng, after getting Mianzhu, coupled with Li Xin's nearly 40,000 soldiers and horses, even if Li Shen goes crazy and puts all his family resources in Mianzhu, Li Xin can support it for a long time.

At the very least, it can support until Ye Ming rushes over.

In other words, he, Li Chang'an, has completely gained a firm foothold in the southwest, and no matter who he is, there is no way to move him easily.

From today on, he is a nail pierced in the southwest, he doesn't want to move, and no one can pull him out!

After the Marquis of Jing'an got up, he looked at the sky and found that it was already afternoon.

He stretched and found a garment on his body.

The place where he lives now is in the yamen of Mianzhu, Zhao Jia and others are working in the front yard, Li Xin washed his face, rushed to the front yard, and found Zhao Youan, who was sitting on the desk.

"Is Ye Mao back?"

"Not yet."

Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said: "The news that came back from the front, Cheng Ping personally brought three thousand people back to the end, and everyone has the will to die, and if they want to deal with them, it will take time for them to be disposed of." ”

"Most of the time, the little grandfather won't be able to come back until it's dark."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Order in Mianzhu City needs to be maintained, from now on, Brother You'an, you will temporarily act as the commander of Mianzhu County, and Brother You'an will be more concerned about the big and small things in the city." ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, Jing'an Hou continued: "Then there is, the three profiteers who resold grain in Fucheng, I asked people to bring them to Mianzhu, each of these three guys has a lot of grain in their hands, Brother You'an has time to meet them, and in my name, I will "borrow" a little grain from them. ”

Jincheng is also a big city, and now the Jianmen Pass has not been broken, although the situation in the southwest has been solved by Li Xin, but it will take a long time to completely solve it.

According to Li Xin's estimate, it will not be solved until at least the second half of the second year of Taikang.

Therefore, the food problem during this period is something that Li Xin needs to worry about, although there is also some food in Mianzhu City, but this kind of hard currency, after all, the more the merrier.

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, and glanced at Li Xin cautiously.

"Master Hou, these grains you borrowed...... Shall we still pay it back? ”

"What ...... to say?"

Li Xin glanced at him, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, there is no need to pay it back." ”

"Write down the number, and when you return to the capital, throw it to the household department, and let the household department pay it back, does this marquis look like the kind of person who pays the debt?"

Zhao Jia sighed helplessly, lowered his eyebrows and said, "My subordinates know." ”

Li Xin put his hands behind his back, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, there is one more important thing I forgot to say." ”

As soon as he heard Li Xin say that the most important thing was the most important, Zhao Jia's expression also became solemn, he stood up and looked at Li Xin.

"What?"

"The city gate that was blown open by the thunder, Brother You'an, don't forget to let people repair it, otherwise the Pingnan Army will also come in from there to beat us, and we will be a little unbearable."

Zhao Jia was speechless.

He was silent for a long time, and finally said faintly: "Master Hou, after entering the city, my subordinates will let people repair the city gate......

Marquis Li nodded with satisfaction.

"It's worthy of Brother You'an, remember to cultivate stronger."

After saying this, Marquis Li turned around and was about to leave.

Zhao Jia coughed and said, "Master Hou, you blame your subordinates for all the Mianzhu matters, what are you going to do yourself?" ”

Since entering Shu, it is basically Li Xin who is making ideas, and at this time Zhao Jia took it for granted that Li Xin handed over these miscellaneous matters to him, and he must have something important to do, so he opened his mouth to ask if he needed help.

Marquis Li didn't reply, and replied lazily.

"Lord Ben is tired, so he has to rest for a few days."

When Zhao Youan heard this, he didn't speak, but just lowered his head and took a few deep breaths silently.

He now began to wonder if he had chosen the wrong person......

…………

After it got dark, the little grandfather who went out of the city to chase the enemy finally rushed back from outside the city.

He was covered in blood.

However, it was not unscathed, this tall little grandfather still had a small crossbow arrow left in his shoulder, and he didn't have time to pull it out.

But it was clear that he had not suffered any fatal injuries, not even bones.

After the little grandfather returned to Mianzhu, he did not go back to rest as soon as possible, but came to Li Xin's residence, and after being reported by Yu Linwei, he wanted to see Li Xin.

It's getting late.

However, Li Xin, who was dressed in cotton clothes, still yawned and saw him.

After Ye Mao saw Li Xin, he stood up, lowered his head and clenched his fists: "Uncle Shi." ”

Li Xin smiled and asked, "How was the result?" ”

"The 3,000 people of the Pingnan Army have been annihilated by our army, and the others have been unable to catch up because they have no horses, and it took a lot of time to clean up the battlefield, so they came back late."

Li Xin nodded and asked, "What about Cheng Ping?" ”

Li Xin already knew what happened after Cheng Ping personally broke off.

Ye Mao exhaled.

"Dead."

"I was crucified by my own hands."

Li Xin's face was expressionless, and he said, "You brought his corpse back?" ”

In this era, it is still relatively bloody, and the most important thing to get the certificate of military merit is to use the head, a head of the level of Cheng Ping, it is a great merit to bring it back, not to mention the marquis and the general, at least there is no problem with the wife and son.

Ye Mao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I buried him." ”

"He didn't have to die, but he came back and died......"

Li Xin interrupted Ye Mao's words and asked calmly, "So you think he's a hero?" ”

Ye Mao did not speak.

Li Xin continued: "He made Mianzhu look like this, and he can't live back in Jincheng, compared to dying, he is more heroic than dying on the battlefield, at least Li Shen has no excuse to do it to his family." ”

"That's right."

Ye Mao raised his head and looked at Li Xin.

"But when it comes to death, there are not many people who dare to die."

Li Xin was stunned, then nodded and said, "What you said is good." ”

Speaking of this, Marquis Jing'an glanced at the wound on Ye Mao's shoulder, and asked, "Don't deal with the injury, what are you doing when you come to me, please take credit?" ”

Ye Mao shook his head slowly.

"There is one thing I don't understand, I heard my grandfather say that Uncle Shi is a smart person who can be ranked in the top five in the Dajin Dynasty today, so I want to ask Uncle Shi."

"You ask."

Li Xin sat down and poured Ye Mao a cup of tea.

"But I don't necessarily understand."

The little grandfather still had a heavy bloody aura on his body, he took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to know if you should be unscrupulous on the battlefield!" ”

Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao lightly.

"Master Ye should have taught you this."

Of course Ye Sheng taught this, and Old Man Ye said that as long as you can win, it is right to eat.

The little grandfather bowed his head and said, "Grandfather taught me, but when Cheng Ping died in front of me today, I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Li Xin stood up and glanced at the little grandfather, who was a few years older than him.

He wanted to say something, but eventually shook his head.

"That's it, whatever you think in your heart."

"It's not a bad thing to have one more person with a straight intestine in the capital."
