Zhao Jia is very right.

The background of southern Xinjiang is much worse than that of the imperial court, so in any case, they must not lose the first battle, if they lose the first battle, then there is no need to make this anti-rebellion, everyone will directly bind themselves to Beijing and wait for death.

The foundation of the imperial court is a whole rear, and the essence of southern Xinjiang lies in the explosive power, they can supply 200,000 soldiers in a short time, with this explosive power, they also have to bite the imperial court.

If you don't bite this first bite, the southwest won't have the slightest chance.

Li Xin walked in the front, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and then said: "That's it, let's do what we should do, and wait and see what happens." ”

The so-called doing what should be done means that in the early stage of this battle, or before Li Xin arrives at the front line, he will not meddle in the affairs of the front line, how to fight there, or whether to fight or not, is the business of Ye Ming or Li Shen.

It has nothing to do with him Li Xin.

Mu Ying nodded and went down to do something.

At this time, it was already evening, and Li Xin's troops began to camp on the spot, making fires and cooking, Zhao Jia slowly followed behind Li Xin, lowered his head and said: "Master Hou, you are so keen on the southwest war, what do you want to get in the southwest war?" ”

At this time, there was no one around, just the two of them.

Li Xin glanced back at his dog-headed military advisor, and then smiled: "Brother You'an is so smart, can't you see that I just want to follow Senior Brother Ye and mix up the credit?" ”

Zhao Jia shook his head slightly, and he looked straight at Li Xin.

"Master Hou, you are young, you are already a second-grade military general of the imperial court, and at the same time, you are also the Marquis of Jing'an of the imperial court, if this position is just behind Uncle Ye, even if you succeed in destroying southern Xinjiang, it will not be of much use to Lord Hou."

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia paused and continued: "When the old man asked me to follow Hou Ye in the future, I once went to check some of Hou Ye's past, and you won't do this kind of business that makes a lot of effort to get a little money. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia glanced at the direction where Mu Ying was, bowed his head and said, "If I remember correctly, Brother Mu is the line that Hou Ye buried in Southern Xinjiang a few years ago, and at that time Hou Ye was just a captain of Yulinwei. ”

Li Xin was stunned at first, and then glanced at the big-headed scholar.

"At that time, I just wanted to bring some trouble to the Pingnan Hou Mansion, where would I think of today's things, as for what line, it is even more nonsense, when I talked about the affairs of southern Xinjiang with the Mu family through Mu Ying, I was already Jing'an Hou."

Zhao Jia let out a long breath, relieved.

"I originally thought that Hou Ye had planned everything in two or three years, but when I thought of this last night, I was covered in cold sweat, and now it seems that I overestimated Hou Ye."

Li Xin smiled faintly.

"I came to the southwest, one is to see the collapse of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and the other is to have some of my own private affairs, Brother You'an, I have never been a scheming person, from the front to the present, I have been chasing the waves most of the time, pushed by the general trend, you think too much scheming."

To be precise, Li Xin was pushed by the "general trend" of Emperor Chengde in the past.

The Son of Heaven of Chengde pushed him to the position of General Yulin Weiyoulang, and then the restless General Li Dalang took advantage of the Wei Wangfu to jump to the current position.

Zhao Jia was silent for a while, and finally bent down respectfully towards Li Xin.

"I misunderstood Master Hou."

As he spoke, he looked left and right at the sky, then lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, it's getting late soon, so I won't disturb Master Hou." ”

Li Xin waved his hand.

"Brother You'an, please."

Zhao Jia paced away.

Li Xin's gaze looked in the direction of the southwest.

In fact, Zhao Jia is right, Li Xin has planned to come to the southwest for so long, of course, not only to follow Ye Ming to "check in", this time Li Xin wants to use the southwest war situation to create a force exclusive to himself.

Li Xin has been in the government for more than two years, from Yu Linwei to the forbidden army, and indeed has a large group of subordinate brothers, but whether it is Yu Linwei or the forbidden army, it is essentially the emperor's thing, and Li Xin just helps the emperor watch

To put it mildly, one day the emperor wants to kill Li Xin, Yu Linwei can turn a blind eye at most, pretend not to see Li Xin, or let Li Xin leave, and the forbidden army will definitely carry a knife and take Li Xin's head to the court to receive a reward!

No one will be on Li Xin's side.

He needs a force of his own, this force does not need to be particularly large, but to be able to take root in the southwest, with this force, Li Xin will not say that he can immediately have the ability to protect himself, at least he can have his own real foundation, not like now, like a rootless duckweed.

Of course, no one can say these words for the time being, not even Zhao Jia beside him.

After Li Xin looked at the southwest direction for a while, he turned his head to look at the capital again, his eyes were deep.

"Ye Shi Yinjian is not far away, I don't want to be like him in the future, and I may not be qualified to live like him."

The Marquis of Jing'an muttered to himself.

"I can't rest my life on your compassion."

"But I can guarantee it."

"I won't do Li Zhijie......"

The Marquis of Jing'an, who has another soul in his body, is too reluctant to put life and death in the hands of others.

………………………………

Two days later, Li Xin's troops still advanced in the southwest direction step by step, and in the evening they still camped, lit fires and made food, and when the sky was completely dark, Li Xin sat in the tent and waited quietly for the arrival of a person.

According to what Mu Ying said, he will arrive tonight.

Li Xin waited until he approached Zi, but still no one came.

You must know that he has been asleep for more than two years, and he is no longer the vigil champion in his previous life, seeing that the time is about to pass midnight, Li Xin yawned and prepared to turn off the lights and go to bed.

Then Mu Ying's voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Master Hou, Your Highness has arrived."

Li Xin was shocked and coughed.

"Ask him to come in."

The tent door was slowly opened, and a thin boy dressed in black clothes and covering his face with a black scarf walked in under the leadership of Mu Ying.

He sighed at Li Nobunaga.

"Sure enough, it's Captain Li, although I've always heard of it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I really can't believe it."

When the two first met, Li Xin was just an ordinary captain of Yulinwei, and at that time Li Xing had invited Li Xin to tea, but because of his identity, Li Xing at that time did not take Li Xin, a small captain, in his eyes, and he was not even interested in talking to Li Xin on an equal footing.

He just wanted his sister back.

In just over a year, Captain Li Xinli, who was a little immature and even looked a little naïve, has now become an upstart in the Great Jin Dynasty, a big man with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.

This made Li Xing sigh.

recalled that he had done nothing this year except for taking a concubine and adding a boy to his family.

Seeing this, Li Xin also stood up and smiled at Li Xing.

"Your Highness is gracious."

"Li Xin is still the same Li Xin from before, there is no difference, but Your Highness, your complexion seems to be a little not very good."

Li Xing smiled bitterly and bowed his head.

"Master Li, what are you looking for me, just tell me."
