The southwest side knew about the division of the Western Army into two routes before, after all, they also sent people to follow Li Xin, although these people were all cleaned up by Li Xin Ye Mao, but at least Li Shen knew that a part of the Western Army was missing.

And the itinerary is still very hidden.

Although Li Shen didn't know that this part of the Western Army was led by Li Xin at first, but now that Ye Ming was without Li Xin's figure, he began to be a little suspicious.

To say that in the entire capital, Li Xin is one of the people he is more afraid of, after all, this young man who was originally in the mud and dust only took less than two years to climb to his current position, and brought great trouble to the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Li Shen was forced to this road, and Jing'an Hou contributed a lot.

Ye Ming smiled.

"Chang'an, he is still in the Chinese army, this time I met with Jin Chen, and he didn't want to come."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming hesitated for a moment and asked: "Chang'an was accepted as a disciple by my father, and it can be regarded as inseparable from my Ye family, but the foolish brother has never understood Chang'an's life experience. ”

He glanced up at Li Shen and said silently: "I heard my father say that he is the son of Jin Chen." ”

Li Shen was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"He doesn't recognize me, and I don't recognize him, so I can't be a father and son."

This sounds like a denial, but it's actually an admission in disguise.

Ye Shaobao said with envy: "Your son, amazing." ”

It is now the summer of the second year of Taikang, and in the winter of the seventeenth year of Chengde, Li Xin was still a little person who almost froze to death, but in just over two years, Li Changan can now influence the court to a certain extent.

He is only twenty years old, and he is good friends with the Son of Heaven, and his future is immeasurable.

Ye Ming stroked his palms and said, "If I have such a son, even if I close my eyes now, I can rest assured." ”

Whether it is Ye Sheng or Ye Ming, they are a little relieved that their little grandfather Ye Mao is worried that he will not be able to inherit the Ye family's family business in the future, and it is also for this reason that the huge Ye family is willing to share weal and woe with Li Xin.

"If you don't recognize each other, then it doesn't matter."

Ye Ming smiled.

"Originally, I couldn't figure it out, why did you dare to make such a desperate bet, but now I have figured it out, with Li Xin, no matter whether you win or lose, there will always be blood left."

This Ye Shaobao took a deep look at Li Shen, and then said with some emotion: "You Pingnan Hou Mansion, the three generations are all outstanding people, but it's a pity that this third generation has gone to Li Changan, not your eldest son Li Chun." ”

"Otherwise, the Pingnan Hou Mansion can prosper for at least another thirty years."

Li Shen felt the same way, nodded and said, "I tried to redeem it, but it didn't work." ”

"My junior brother is arrogant."

A smile appeared on Ye Ming's face.

"In this world, he is the only one who looks down on your Pingnan Hou Mansion's family background, and wants to start another business for himself, but he has done it for him."

If the forces under the world are compared to mountains, the first highest is naturally the royal Ji family of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Pingnan Hou Mansion in the southwest is the undisputed second.

Indeed, in terms of the status of the generals of the Great Jin Dynasty, whether it is the seed family or the Ye family, they are all more than the Pingnan Hou Mansion, but these two are vassals of the Ji family, they not only have no independent "administrative power", but even have no independent military power, in terms of size, it is far worse than the Pingnan Hou Mansion.

The mountain of Pingnan Houfu is not high, but it is an independent mountain.

In other words, any person in this era, put in Li Xin's position, even if he has suffered a great grievance, after knowing how tall the Pingnan Hou Mansion is, ninety percent of the people will choose to return to this Hou Mansion to recognize him as a son, and the other one percent of people with a little backbone will choose to flee far away, and they will no longer dare to enter the capital in this life.

As Ye Ming said, in the whole world, only Li Xin will say no to the father of Pingnanhou Li Shen.

This is not arrogant, it's just that Li Xin feels that he is a traverser, so he has the confidence to stand on his own.

However, the process of setting up the door was not as smooth as Li Xin thought at first, in just over two years, he had experienced at least two things between life and death, plus he met many nobles, and stepped on the tuyere of the general trend, so that he could go all the way to today.

This is a completely unknown world, and his advantage as a traverser is far less than he imagined before.

Li Shen was silent for a while, and then said, "Brother Shi called me here with great fanfare, just to say this? ”

Ye Shaobao smiled slightly: "It was Li Chang'an who was mentioned by Master Hou first, not me." ”

Li Shen's face was a little unpleasant.

"I just asked him where he went, but Brother Ye Shige talked about so many things."

"Naturally, it's going to make you uncomfortable."

Ye Ming said bluntly: "If nothing happens, you and I will soon see each other on the battlefield, which will make Hou Ye angry at this time, maybe the western expedition will be smoother." ”

On the battlefield, some subtle factors can determine many things, for example, the mentality of a commander may determine the outcome of a battle.

Li Shen silently stood up from his seat.

"Brother Ye Shi, if there is nothing else, I will accompany him less."

The smile on Ye Ming's face retracted.

"Jin Chen, you really don't want to turn back?"

Li Shentou did not reply.

"If you don't look back, there is still a glimmer of life, looking back is just a few years late to die, give the world brother a choice, how does the world brother choose?"

Ye Ming sighed silently.

"When you were in the Chengde Dynasty, you had a lot of opportunities to turn back."

"Brother Shi thinks I don't want to?"

Li Shen stopped and glanced back at Ye Ming.

"If you want your Ye family, use the old family around you to exchange for glory and wealth, do you Ye Shaobao change it?"

Ye Ming did not speak.

At the beginning, Ye Sheng chose to give up his military power, but the Ye family was not as miserable as Li Shen said, and few of Ye Sheng's old troops were killed, but they were scattered among the various yamen by Emperor Wu, and they were somewhat suppressed.

The most typical is Li Xin's teacher, Wang Zhong, the captain of Yulinwei, he was one of the fierce generals under Ye Sheng back then, and he did not rise step by step after returning to the capital, but he was transferred from the captain under Ye Sheng to a captain of Yulinwei, and he has not been promoted for more than 30 years.

Naturally, there is part of Wang Zhong's own reasons for this, but the root cause is because he is a member of the Chen Guogong Mansion.

Although the Ye family has received "preferential treatment", Ye Ming does not dare to say that the Pingnan Hou Mansion has received preferential treatment, and even Ye Sheng Ye himself said that a large part of the reason why the Ye family was able to survive in the capital was because the Pingnan Hou Mansion had ceded land and respected itself.

Although you can't slander Emperor Wu with speculation, if Ye and Li both chose to hand over power and return to Beijing, it is very likely that something will happen to both of them.

At the very least, the two of them will die with the martial emperor who dominates the world!

is not like the current old man Ye, who survived another Emperor Chengde alive.

Ye Ming also knew in his heart that if Li Shen surrendered with the Son of Chengde, the Pingnan Hou Mansion might be safe, but it was almost impossible for these generals of the Pingnan Army in Southern Xinjiang to end well.

So he didn't refute Li Shen.

This Ye Shaobao was silent for a while, and then said, "Jin Chen wants to fight with me in Hanzhong to conquer the Western Army?" ”

Li Shen walked farther and farther away and did not reply.

Ye Ming looked at his back and said in a loud voice.

"I suggest you go to the Sword Pavilion, you can't guard me in the Hanzhong."
