After all, it will take some time for Xu Shanxin to exchange news with the imperial court, and it is still too late for Li Xinchen.

Li Xinchen knocked lightly on the table: "The selection of soldiers and horses here in Shu County will also be implemented as soon as possible, and I am ready to leave for Ba County." ”

Tang Zhengliang and Dai Cai also promised in a deep voice, they knew this before.

Li Xinchen arranged for Du Qi to handle the affairs of Nanzhong, and now the barbarians on the other side of Nanzhong have been in contact with Du Qi, Du Qi got closer to them while sending someone to report to Li Xinchen, of course Li Xinchen didn't want to delay this matter until he came back from Jiankang Mansion, so he still went to Ba County one step earlier and dealt with this matter first.

Nanzhong seems to be a barren and poisonous place, but Li Xinchen, who came from later generations, knows very well how important this place is, not to mention how many resources there are underground in Nanzhong, just the ancient tea horse road that has not yet been formed is enough to make Li Xinchen greedy.

For the current Bashu, self-sufficiency is still an urgent problem to be solved, if the economic development of Bashu can be driven through the ancient tea horse road, it will naturally be beneficial and harmless for Li Xinchen.

In addition, Nanzhong connects Lingnan to the east, which is the rear of Nanchen, and it is naturally not a bad thing strategically to put pressure on Nanchen's rear.

When Li Xinchen has no way to expand to the north or east now, he naturally has to seize the only opportunity in the south. What's more, the example of Zhuge Liang's southern expedition during the Three Kingdoms period told Li Xinchen that these barbarians were not impossible to deal with, and if Nanzhong was not pacified, no one knew when there would be a fork in Nanzhong in the future, in that case, Luzhou and Shu County, the heartland of Li Xinchen, would be threatened, which is why Zhuge Liang solved the Nanzhong problem before the Northern Expedition.

No one wants to have a sharp blade in their back.

Correspondingly, as long as the management is decent, then Nanzhong and Ku Surrender are the foundation places that Li Xinchen will rely on to conquer the world in the future.

Li Xinchen doesn't know if it's right for him to expand externally now, but at least a bigger territory is necessary for Li Xinchen, who needs fresh blood and room for maneuver.

It is precisely because of this truth that Li Xinchen's Luo Ya, Tang Yishun and other civil officials did not object to this, as for those military generals, it is already very good if they don't rush to do it.

Thinking of something, Li Xinchen's gaze swept over the people present, and said in a deep voice: "This time I went to Jiankang Mansion, it is impossible for me to be alone, you all have important things to do, I am afraid that you will not be able to move around, but your subordinates, a certain person may have to be removed." Of course, although you are old, Gu Gong, you know the most about the imperial court around you, so this time you will have to follow a certain journey. ”

King Gu Ye immediately solemnly bowed his hand: "As a subordinate of the general, he should share his worries as a general, although the old man is the highest compared to everyone present, but he can still be competent in Jiankang Mansion this time, and please drive the general." ”

Li Xinchen smiled slightly, the old gentleman had already expressed his position like this, so Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie naturally had no objections, after all, Li Xinchen went to Jiankang Mansion this time, of course, the more people he carried, the better, and he could also take this opportunity to give his subordinates a chance to perform, for them, why not.

And for Li Xinchen, this is obviously also a good opportunity for him to evaluate these unfamiliar officials under him, after all, Li Xinchen is going to go out of Bashu in the future, and of course it is impossible to just know Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, he must be very familiar with these officials who followed him in the early days - often this means being more loyal - at least know what they are good at and where their shortcomings are, otherwise it is impossible to entrust them with the important task of governing the place.

Han Xin is good at generals, and Liu Bang is good at generals, Li Xinchen's attainments in military command are enough to be in the first echelon of this era, so what he needs to learn more now is how to arrange and appoint talents, after all, when the territory under his hands is large enough in the future, of course, there is no way to control everything alone.

This time he went to Jiankang Mansion because of the experience that Li Xinchen gave him, and it was also the experience of these officials under him.

Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie and others must also understand this truth, and they will inevitably recommend their most powerful subordinates to Li Xinchen, after all, these subordinates perform well, and they also have a bright face as the main general.

"This matter has been agreed on for the time being, and we will leave as soon as possible." Li Xinchen said after deliberation, "The arrangement just now will be implemented as soon as possible!" ”

"No!" A group of people did not dare to slack off, and they all said yes.

They knew that when Li Xinchen's order began to be carried out today, the entire group had passed a turning point and embarked on a path that no one knew the outcome of, either glory or destruction.

On the road, there is no room for turning back, we can only go hand in hand.

Military generals such as Xiao Shilian, Dai Cai and Pei Zilie clenched their fists and fought high, a challenge they had always dreamed of.

Tang Zhengliang, Gu Yewang and other civil officials subconsciously looked at each other. Although they are all stable people, they have to admit that such excitement and challenges are still exciting enough, and they are willing to participate in it as a part!

The sky is a little overcast, and the wind is cool in the breeze, and you can imagine a heavy rain coming at the turn of spring and summer.

The leaves of the evergreens and the flowers that bloomed just in the spring of Meng swayed and swirled with the wind, and you could even smell the dampness in the wind at this time.

Li Xinchen stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, compared to when he first came, his beard had grown, and the edges and corners of his face were more distinct, and the years flowed by his fingertips, after all, it was impossible to leave no traces.

Fortunately, he is not the flying general Li Guang who has been depressed all his life, and the result of "Li Guang is difficult to seal" will not fall on him.

At the age of the weak crown, the general of Lingzhenxi, the marquis of Hanzhong, and Li Xinchen's official position should be unique in the founding of the Southern Dynasty for so many years. What's more important is that this kind of honor and power is not Li Xinchen relying on flattery in exchange, every step he has taken so far has been fought with knives and guns, and he has been exchanged for the edges and corners of his face.

So Li Xinchen has no regrets.

"Husband, it is the rainy season in Jiangnan, so you must pay attention to keeping warm." Xiao Xiang handed Li Xinchen's cloak over, "This is going to Ba County, there is a chance that it will rain on the road, but I can't bear the wind and cold." ”

Li Xinchen didn't speak, but gently held Xiao Xiang's hand and quietly stared at the girl's close eyes.

It turned out that Li Xinchen never believed that he could see anything in his eyes, they were all black pupils on a white background, and there were some bloodshot embellishments on the day of death, who could see the difference?
