No matter how the imperial court replied, Ye Ming was always doing his own thing, and after he and Li Xin decided on this strategy, they immediately began to prepare to attack Bashu.

The traditional route of breaking Shu is the road that the old marquis Li Zhijie walked, first breaking Hanzhong, and then having to go out of Yangping Pass first, and then hitting Baishui Pass, Jiameng Pass, Jiange, this is the three passes in northern Shu, and then Fu County, Mianzhu These counties, and finally you can touch Jincheng, when Li Zhijie was forced to grind all the way through, it is regarded as using brute force to break the Nanshu regime apart.

Now if Ye Ming wants to enter Shu, he can only go all the way from the road that Li Zhijie has walked, but at the same time as his main attack, Li Xin will take the Yinping Ancient Road from the flank and insert it into the hinterland of Bashu, and with a two-pronged approach, it is possible to break through the southwest in a short time.

The first place to fight is Hanzhong.

Hanzhong is the northernmost gateway of the original Southern Shu, and it is also one of the places that must pass through to enter Shu.

It is worth mentioning that after the fall of Nanshu, Hanzhong did not belong to the jurisdiction of Shu County, but should be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the imperial court also sent a number of officials to Hanzhong, but the Pingnan army kept claiming that Hanzhong was the gathering place of Nanshu thieves, and forcibly occupied this pass.

Now inside and outside Hanzhong City, there are people from the Pingnan General's Mansion, and all the officials, including the prefect, are all Li Shen's protégés.

Especially after the official rebellion in the southwest, there were at least more than 20,000 defenders of the Pingnan Army in Hanzhong City, which was a difficult bone to gnaw on, and it needed General Ye to gnaw it down.

And Li Xin's task is to go deep into the hinterland of the southwest from the road that Deng Ai has walked, and completely disrupt the defensive formation in the southwest.

In order to confirm the details of this battle plan, Ye Ming kept talking to Li Xin about the details of the follow-up actions for many days to come.

The two of them pointed at the southwest Kanyu map in the state pastor's mansion in Jingzhou, and Ye Mao, the little grandfather who was a junior, could only humbly serve tea and water next to him, which could be regarded as an audit.

After a few days, the two finally finalized a specific battle plan.

In the study of the Zhou Mu Mansion, Ye Ming pointed to the Hanzhong Mansion on the Kanyu map, and said in a deep voice: "It's almost June now, and as soon as it enters June, Brother Wei will immediately set off to take Hanzhong, Li Shen is a cautious person, since he has made up his mind to defend, then he will definitely make every effort to shrink the defensive hinterland, although this Hanzhong County is important, but he will not let too many people go in to defend, it is estimated that he can take Hanzhong in two months at most." ”

"After taking Hanzhong, Brother Wei will start to march towards the Sword Pavilion."

"At that time, the weather has cooled down, Chang'an, you can take people from Di Dao, bypass the Sword Pavilion from Yinping, reach the vicinity of Mianzhu, and then attack Mianzhu on a large scale, pretending to be the main force of our army."

Speaking of this, General Ye knocked heavily on the table.

"At that time, even if the Pingnan Army can cope with it, it will inevitably be left and right, if we deal with it properly, the southwest will have a chance to be pacified before the end of the year."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming's voice was a little lower.

"The only thing that is a little dangerous is that Chang'an, if you go deep into the southwest hinterland, it is very likely to be besieged by them, and if you can't hold on at that time, it will be easy to rout."

Ye Shaobao said in a low voice: "So whether this plan is feasible or not depends on Chang'an's decision." ”

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "Senior brother thinks that there is a chance of winning by doing this. ”

"Sixty or seventy."

Ye Ming squinted his eyes and said: "At this time, it depends on whether Li Shen can react, but even if he reacts, he may not be able to deal with it, even if he can't take the southwest in one fell swoop this time, at least for my brother to be sure to take the Sword Pavilion, the Sword Pavilion changes hands, and the southwest is only a matter of time." ”

Ye Ming's confidence does not lie in the fact that he feels much stronger than Li Shen, but that he has a strong foundation behind him, and this background is the imperial court.

He now has nearly 140,000 people in the right battalion of the forbidden army under his hands, but these people are far from the full strength of the imperial court, even if the 140,000 people are exhausted, the imperial court can still organize the next 140,000 people, and on the other hand, the Pingnan army, if it is gone, it is gone, no matter how powerful Li Shen is, he can't conjure people out of thin air.

This in itself is an unequal war.

Li Xin lowered his head and pretended to ponder for a long time, and finally nodded heavily.

"For the sake of the imperial court, the younger brother's personal life is nothing, this time according to the will of the senior brother, the younger brother is willing to take people from the Yinping Ancient Road into Shu."

The righteousness of what he said was awe-inspiring, but in fact, his heart had already blossomed.

This time, Ye Ming meant to let him take 50,000 people to Yinping into Shu, if it was just these 50,000 people, Li Xin was reluctant to enter Li Shen's hinterland to take risks, after all, this was a serious war, not a child messing around, on the battlefield, no one recognized what kind of bullshit Jing Anhou was, if he was really planted, he wouldn't blink when others killed him.

Li Xin is still very sorry for his life.

But coincidentally, Li Xin is in the hinterland of the southwest, and there is still a force!

That is the remnants of Nanshu brought by Mu Ying!

You must know that the location of Hanzhou Mansion is on the edge of Jincheng, and those remnants of Nanshu are distributed near Hanzhou Mansion, if they gather into an army, then the location should be behind Mianzhu!

If Li Xin could enter Shu from the Yinping Ancient Road and come to Mianzhu City, the main force of the Pingnan Army at that time should be involved in the Sword Pavilion by Ye Ming, and at that time, Li Xin had nearly 100,000 troops in his hands, and he really had a chance to take Jincheng!

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Li Xin's ability is not good, he will not be able to break through Jincheng, but this entire 100,000 people, including 50,000 locals who know everything about the southwest, can at least ensure that he survives in the hinterland of the southwest, and by the way, it will cause Li Shen a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Jing'an Hou responded very simply, and it was very righteous and awe-inspiring.

General Ye was very moved.

He patted Li Xin's shoulder heavily, and said with emotion: "Brother Wei, I have seen many young people in the past few decades, but Chang'an is the only one, so brave and resourceful. ”

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's just that Senior Brother has just given His Majesty a letter requesting a truce, and at this time, he suddenly wants to fight again, and His Majesty will think that Senior Brother is playing tricks on him." ”

"The battlefield is unpredictable, the fighter plane is fleeting, and my brother didn't think of this stubble at first."

Ye Shaobao frowned slightly, and then said slowly: "That's it, I'll just write another book for Your Majesty and send it over, this time in Chang'an, you don't have to sign it, otherwise you and my brother will be suspected of blackmailing the Son of Heaven." ”

Li Xin said with a smile: "It's all up to Senior Brother's arrangement." ”

Ye Ming spoke, beckoned to Ye Mao outside, and then the old general stiffened his face and said in a deep voice: "From today on, you will follow your Uncle Li, and you will follow him wherever he goes." ”

The meaning of this is to let Ye Mao follow Li Xin from Yin Ping to Shu.

The Marquis of Jing'an glanced at Ye Ming in surprise, and then said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, this is dangerous, let's let Ye Mao follow Senior Brother's side, right?" ”

"The Ye family has never been afraid of danger, and it doesn't matter if they die."

Ye Ming's tone was unquestionable.

"His second uncle and third uncle all died on the battlefield, they all died, and he Ye Mao couldn't die?"
