In Li Shuo's opinion, even if only the remnants of the Pingnan Army remain, most of them look down on the Hanzhou Army, after all, they only needed 10,000 people before, and they could see the 50,000 people in Hanzhou to death, and the soldiers of the Pingnan Army would not be convinced by the remnants of Nanshu in their hearts.

Originally, Li Xin felt that he had to let someone take a few heavenly thunders to the Pingnan Army to blow them up, so that this thing could be done.

But Li Shuo's ability was beyond his expectations, and this matter turned out to be surprisingly smooth.

Thinking of this, he said to Li Shuo: "The specific charter, Zhao Jia's side will come out in the next few days, and you can also say that you have any difficulties on your side, and work together to get things done." ”

Li Shuo lowered his head and said, "Brother, I want some food." ”

"There was no food in store last winter, and since the beginning of spring this year, many people have started to starve to death, and now there is an urgent need for food."

Only then did Li Xin understand why Li Shuo was so anxious to find a way out for the Pingnan Army, it turned out that they had reached the point where they couldn't live anymore.

"There's no problem, you go and ask Zhao Jia later, he is coordinating the entire southwest now, and he should be able to get food for you."

Saying that, Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a while, and then spoke: "The matter of the Pingnan Army being incorporated into the Hanzhou Army can be reluctant, if there are those who are unwilling to be included, let them settle down in the southwest with their families, of course, they still have to be scattered into the state capitals in the southwest, and they can't live together." ”

Although the Pingnan Army was brave back then, five or six years have passed, many of them are already old, and many people have enmity with the Hanzhou Army, after all, tens of thousands of people have tens of thousands of thoughts, there is no need to force these people to be incorporated into the Hanzhou Army, even if they are reluctant, maybe there will be contradictions, and it is a better choice for them to settle down.

Li Shuo was so moved that he got up from his chair and threw himself to the ground at Li Nobunaga.

"Brother Houde."

Li Xin got up and helped him up and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's not easy for you, five or six years ago when you were a child, there was such a big burden on you."

Li Shuo is indeed not easy.

When Taikang was three years old, he was only sixteen years old, and in the following years, he had been wandering around with the remnants of the Pingnan Army, and after finally finding a habitat, it was his turn to worry about the livelihood of the collective.

Even according to Li Xin's life trajectory, although he has entered the court as an official at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he is only a lieutenant of Yulinwei, and there are two hundred people under him, and he does not need him to pay his salary, and it is much easier to do things than Li Shuo.

Comparatively speaking, although the situation of the remnants of the Pingnan Army is worrying now, it is not easy for Li Shuo to survive for so long.

Li Shuo was quite moved, but he didn't cry, after five or six years of experience, he didn't have many tears, and it was impossible for him to cry in front of others.

He got up and said to Li Xin: "Brother, there is really nothing to eat over there, so I will go to Mr. You'an." ”

Li Xin nodded.

"Go ahead."

"Don't worry, the Pingnan Army will be merged into the Hanzhou Army, and there will be a place for you in the southwest in the future."

Li Shuo stopped, turned back to Li Xin and smiled bitterly.

"Brother, I only hope that the people who escaped from Jincheng will have a place."

With that, he left Li Xin's garden and went to the government to find Zhao Jia to ask for food.

The garden where Li Xin lives is just an inconspicuous garden in Jincheng, he lives here so simply, and he does not interfere in the military affairs of the Hanzhou Army on weekdays, nor does he interfere much in the government affairs of Zhao Jia's side, but as long as he is in the southwest, the southwest revolves around him alone.

With a few casual words, he can fiddle with the situation in the southwest.

This is due to his many years of operation and also thanks to many years of trust.

Today's southwest, just in the palm of his hand, is no worse than Li Shen, who rebelled in the southwest seven years ago.

But his eyes were still on the capital.

Li Shen's defeat was due to the fact that he only focused on the southwest and did not focus on the overall situation.

………………

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Li Xin had been in the southwest for more than a month, and he had stayed in Jincheng without the slightest intention of leaving.

At this time, Uncle Xie Jing, who left Jincheng, had also arrived in the capital.

After he entered the capital, he didn't even return home, and walked directly to the palace, with the identity of "Uncle Guo", he entered Yong'an Gate unimpeded, and finally waited at the gate of Weiyang Palace.

But after waiting for almost an hour, I was not able to see the Son of Heaven.

In the end, the little eunuch could only lead him into Weiyang Palace, and stopped at the gate of a side hall in Weiyang Palace, Xie Jing waited outside the door.

After a while, a voice came from the side hall.

"Come in."

Xie Jing frowned, because this voice was not the voice of the Son of Heaven.

Anyway he stepped in, and when he came to the owner of the voice, he was about to kneel down and salute.

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

Queen Xie, who was dressed in palace clothes, stepped forward to support her younger brother, frowning slightly: "Your own family is not welcome." ”

The two of them were talking outside the side hall, Xie Jing stretched out his head to look inside, and said: "Niangniang, I have something important to ask to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty ...... him"

Empress Xie pulled her younger brother to sit down on a chair beside her and let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, he is asleep, I can't see anyone today, you can't go in and disturb him if you have anything, just talk to him tomorrow."

Xie Jing was anxious.

"Niangniang, this matter is very important, it is related to the ...... of the southwest"

"It's about nothing!"

Empress Xie's voice was a little higher, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "Your Majesty, it's so easy for him to fall asleep, and no one can disturb his rest." ”

"You'll come back tomorrow."

Xie Jing realized that something was wrong, he looked left and right, and after finding that there were not many people around, he lowered his voice and asked his sister, "Sister, what's wrong......?" ”

The queen's face was a little unpleasant.

After a moment of silence, she pulled her brother and walked outside.

"It's not convenient to talk here, go to my palace and say it."

After the queen mother and the palace people of Weiyang Palace gave a few words, she left Weiyang Palace with Xie Jing and walked towards her bedroom, the two palaces were not far away, and they walked after a while, after returning to their palace, Queen Xie relaxed a lot, she pulled her younger brother to sit down, hesitated for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"What I say to you, no one can tell me, not even my father and mother can't ask, understand?"

Xie Jing nodded,

"My sister knows me, I haven't been an unreliable person since I was a child."
