Chapter 243: A Gentleman Knows How to Advance and Retreat
There was a conflict between the southwest and the imperial court, of course Li Xin couldn't and shouldn't be in the southwest, he was in the southwest, and he was leading this matter, and he couldn't escape this responsibility.
He is not in the southwest, so he leaves a lot of leeway in this matter, he has many positions, but not half of the position is about the southwest, no matter what happens in the southwest, he can say that it is none of his business.
Therefore, after discussing with Li Shuo and the other three people in the Shu Wangfu for a whole night, Li Xin was going to leave Jincheng the next day.
Originally, he should not be in Jincheng now, but should be in Yongzhou to go to his mother's grave.
He left the team halfway and came to Jincheng, but after such a long time, no matter how stupid the court is, they should know that he is not in Yongzhou, but it doesn't matter, these are things in the shadows, as long as they are not put on the table, they can be regarded as if they have not happened.
When the sky was bright, Li Xin stretched his waist and walked out of the study of the Shu Palace, and Li Shuo and the other three people followed him and also walked out of the study.
Mu Ying walked behind Li Xin and said helplessly: "Master Hou didn't close his eyes all night, even if he wants to leave, he will rest for a day and leave tomorrow." ”
Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "It's not me driving, just sleep in the carriage for a while, it's been a few days since I came to Jincheng, and my wife and two children are in Yongzhou, I'm afraid that something will happen to them." ”
Mu Ying also knew Li Xin's character, as long as he made a decision, he couldn't change it easily, he sighed and said, "Then I'll send the Hou Ye out of the city." ”
The Marquis of Jing'an said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Brother Mu will have to match me with a team of guards, if we kill so many plum blossom guards, they may find me trouble." ”
Meihuawei is a person from the imperial court, and it stands to reason that they can't arrest Li Xin without orders from above, and they don't dare to arrest Li Xin, but now Li Xin is in Yongzhou on the surface, if they arrest Li Xin in the southwest, at most he will have the same name and surname.
Meihuawei is also a human being, and at least dozens or hundreds of people have died in the hands of the Hanzhou Army during this time, so maybe they will do something like a dog jumping off the wall.
"This is natural."
Mu Ying bowed his head and said: "In the past few years, my subordinates have also selected a group of teenagers from the Hanzhou Army, trained according to the standards of Yu Linwei, and now they have begun to see what they can do, and they can assign five hundred people to protect Hou Ye." ”
Li Xin shook his head.
"Five hundred is too much, one or two hundred will do."
When several people said this, Li Xin's carriage had already been led by Shen Gang, and he bowed deeply to Li Xin: "Master Hou, it's all ready." ”
Li Xin nodded and bent into the carriage.
After getting into the car, he lifted the curtain and beckoned to Zhao Jia.
"Brother You'an, get in the car and talk about it."
Zhao Jia was slightly stunned, then walked to the side of the carriage and was dragged in by Li Xin.
As soon as Shen wanted to get in the car and drive, he heard Li Xin's voice in the carriage.
"Shen Gang, you avoid it."
Shen Gang immediately nodded, left the carriage close to seven or eight meters, and began to guard the surroundings.
In the carriage, only Li Xin and Zhao Jia were left.
Li Xin simply took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Jia.
Zhao Jia frowned: "Master Hou, what is this?" ”
The Marquis of Jing'an smiled indifferently: "The recipe of the heavenly thunder." ”
Zhao Jia was so frightened by this sentence that he almost threw the piece of paper out.
This is something that even the Son of Heaven dreams of!
Now, in addition to Lin Hu, only Li Xin knows about the whole world, and now, this thing that is enough to change the pattern of the world has been handed over to him lightly!
Zhao Jia took a deep breath and calmed down, his voice trembling slightly.
"Master Hou...... What does this mean? ”
Li Xin's face was calm: "The doctor said, Huzi's injury will take at least two or three months to get out of bed, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a year to fully recover. ”
"The more than 100 craftsmen that Huzi brought to Jincheng were also handed over to Brother You'an, these people were brought out by Huzi in Yongzhou, and Brother You'an should make good use of it."
Zhao Jia looked at the thin piece of paper in his hand, and only felt that it was a thousand weights, he swallowed and spit, and said with a wry smile: "If the Hou Ye hands over this kind of thing to me, isn't he afraid that I will betray the southwest and throw myself into the imperial court?" ”
"There is no doubt about employing people."
Marquis Jing'an smiled slightly: "There are so many people under his hands, if you are suspicious of this and that, then don't want to sleep well." ”
Speaking of this, Li Xin glanced at the piece of paper in Zhao Jia's hand and laughed at himself: "Besides, this thing is actually not as powerful as you imagined." ”
Tianlei is so amazing in the first two appearances that its role is magnified in most people's hearts, in fact, this thing is only useful when defending the city, and it may also have a miraculous effect when attacking the city, but if the two armies are tug-of-war, or when they are facing each other on the battlefield, its role is not so great.
It definitely can't catch up with cold weapons like bows and crossbows.
In other words, it is not enough to change the outcome of a frontal war.
Even so, Li Xin handed over this thing to Zhao Jia, and he also took some risks, although Zhao Jia was not in charge of the army, but he was basically the highest administrator in the southwest, with a high position, he had the heavenly thunder in his hands, if he was linked to Mu Ying and Li Shuo again, there would actually be nothing to do with Li Xin in the southwest.
But this kind of worry is a bit redundant, just like worrying about whether Shen Gang will actually be the person of Meihuawei, so he turned around and stabbed Li Xin.
In life, it is of course a good thing to have more eyes, but if you fiddle with your mind no matter what you do, you will not only be suspicious, but you will also achieve nothing.
Zhao Jia lowered his head and was silent for a long time, but he still didn't open the thin piece of paper, he lowered his head and said: "Master Hou can actually change someone to do this, I am the worst choice." ”
Li Xin narrowed his eyes.
"What's the matter, Brother You'an is unwilling to take on this responsibility?"
Zhao Jia shook his head slightly: "I'm not suitable, I don't know how many things to deal with in Jincheng every day, I can't finish handling government affairs during the day, and then go to get this thunder at night, it's too late." ”
He took a deep breath and glanced at the paper.
"Master Hou, it's better to hand over this job to someone else, for example, Shen Gang, who has been following you, is a very good candidate."
Li Xin shook his head and said, "Shen Gang, I have thought about it, but he has other things to do with me, and he can't stay in Jincheng forever." ”
Shen Gang is in charge of Li Xin's personal safety, as well as Li Xin's intelligence network, if he is not by Li Xin's side, Li Xin may be difficult to be deaf and clear.
After all, it is not easy to cultivate a person who absolutely trusts.
Zhao Jia hesitated for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Otherwise, I'll help Hou Ye choose someone to do this, and I won't read this piece of paper." ”
Li Xin shook his head helplessly: "Brother You'an, why should you be cautious to this extent, I am not the kind of narrow-minded person......"
"A gentleman should know how to advance and retreat, my authority in the southwest is heavy enough, and I shouldn't and can't go further."
Zhao Jia sighed and hugged his fist at Li Xin.
"I got acquainted with Master Hou, and I don't want to deviate from morality because of this incident in the future, so it's better to start and finish well."
Li Xin no longer insisted, and said, "What does Brother You'an mean?" ”
"There seems to be a one-armed butler beside Master Hou."
