Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 501 I want to know where he went

   Ye Shaobao's last sentence is not to ridicule Li Shen, because from a military point of view, Hanzhong does not have a superior geographical location than Jiange. After all, Jiange has a sword gate, and Hanzhong is just a city.

   This city should not have been stationed with heavy troops. It was Li Shen who wanted to have an unexpected effect before adding troops to Hanzhong. Now this intention has obviously been seen by Ye Ming, so there is no need to increase troops in Hanzhong.

   Therefore, Ye Shaobao's words were genuine and well-intentioned.

   Of course, since the two sides are going to fight, it must be a life-and-death fight. Ye Ming has no reason to give Li Shen an idea. The reason why he said this is to make Li Shen give up Hanzhong City, so that he can successfully win Hanzhong.

   As for the sword pavilion…

   By the time the Zhengxi Army pushed to Jiange, Li Xin on the other side had probably crossed Yinping and headed towards Jiangyou. At that time, the inside and the outside should be coordinated, no matter how many people guarded the Jiange, it would not be a problem.

   At the level of Ye Ming, sometimes a simple sentence hides an unknown number of fighters.

  Li Shen didn't seem to hear what this world brother was saying, and left without looking back with his hands on his back.

   When Ye Shaobao saw this, he shook his head and smiled, got up from under the pavilion, and went back to his central army tent.

   The conversation between the two seems to be bland and even a little bit of a homely conversation, but in fact, they have clashed behind their backs many times.

   First, Li Shen didn't see Li Xin, so he began to wonder if the young Marquis had divided his troops to do something bad. Then Ye Ming used Li Xin to ruthlessly expose Li Shen's scar.

  This scar really hurts, because of the Chengfu of the Great General of the Zhu Kingdom, he didn't want to continue talking to Ye Ming, so he chose to get up and leave.

   Followed, Ye Shaobao just made a few routine words to persuade him to surrender.

   At the end of the chat, Ye Ming did not forget to leave a hole for Li Shen.

   All in all, the meeting between the bosses of the two sides ended with Ye Ming having the upper hand, and the reason why he had the upper hand was largely because the two talked about Li Xin.

The Marquis of Jing'an, as the third generation of the Marquis of Pingnan, and even the most outstanding young man in the entire younger generation in the capital, parted ways with Marquis of Pingnan, and even became enemies with each other. will be a little uncomfortable.

  Li Shen is no exception.

   In fact, he needs Li Xin very much, especially at this time, he really wants Li Xin to come to the southwest to help him.

  This need is not because of the love of father and son, nor because of guilt towards Xiao Qinglan, but because of Li Xin's current ability and his influence on the survivors of Nanshu.

   Of course, Ye Ming didn't say a word wrong. Their father and son turned against each other, and it wasn't completely useless. Even if one of them was doomed to fail, there would always be a family named Li who would survive.

   That is to say, no matter how much Li Shen loses, he will not lose too thoroughly.

   After returning from Shiquan County, after walking for nearly a day, Li Shen returned to Hanzhong Mansion.

   At the gate of the Hanzhong General's Mansion, the big man Li Yan and the Hanzhong General Meng Qi waited by the roadside with their hands down to greet Li Shen.

   Pingnan Hou slowly got off the carriage.

   Two people stepped forward to greet Li Shen.

  Li Shen was a little disappointed, he waved his hand and said, "Ye Ming will go to Hanzhong City soon. General Meng will check the city defense first. Li Yan and I have something to say."

  Meng Qi bowed his head respectfully, clasped his fists and said, "The last general will go here."

After Meng Qi retreated, Li Shen took Li Yan into the study of General Hanzhong's mansion.

  This was originally Meng Qi's study, but after Li Shen arrived in Hanzhong, he was naturally requisitioned by the Great General Zhu.

  Li Shen sat on the main seat, the big man Li Yan bent over and poured him a cup of tea, and asked, "Brother, what did Ye Ming tell you?"

  Li Shen took a sip of the tea, his tone calm.

   "He asked us to sacrifice His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the court would not bother with us."

  Li Yan's face changed, and he said solemnly: "This is obviously the court's plan to delay troops. Now we are at odds with the court. Even if the court doesn't pursue it now, it will settle accounts in the future..."

   Halfway through his words, his voice stopped abruptly.

   Because he saw Li Shen looking at him.

   "Big Brother..."

General    Zhuguo's tone was calm.

   "What can you think of to understand, can I not understand?"

  Li Yan lowered his head, a little too afraid to speak.

  Ping Nanhou sat on the main seat, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and finally slowly opened his eyes.

   "Listen."

  Li Yan immediately lowered his head and clasped his fists: "The last will be there."

   Although the two were righteous brothers, when the military order came out, Li Shen was the general of the Pingnan Army, and Li Yan would obey the military order.

"After a while, Ye Ming will lead the troops to attack Hanzhong. At that time, according to the original plan, you will lead the troops to fight with their vanguard army, and then I will give you some more people, and it will be the same as before. Victory and defeat are not allowed.”

   "This first battle is a battle of footholds, and we must win a big victory, otherwise we will have no need to exist."

   Li Yan said solemnly: "The last general will be certain, and I will not accept the entrustment of the general!"

   said, he was about to go out to prepare.

   Li Shen said lightly, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

  Li Yan stopped, turned back and continued to bow his head to wait for the order.

Li Shen took another sip of tea and said lightly: "After the first battle, you will bring all the people we brought back to Jiange, and the 20,000 people in Hanzhong are still handed over to Meng Qi to guard him. Keep it for as long as you want."

   Li Yan said stunned: "Why?"

   "If our soldiers stay in Hanzhong, there will be no problem in Hanzhong for at least half a year!"

   "The plan has been seen through by Ye Ming."

  Pingnan Hou said silently: "There is no terrain like Jianmen Pass here in Hanzhong. If Ye Ming can't be injured in the first wave, forcibly guarding here is just a waste of manpower. It's better to retreat to Jiange Pavilion."

  Yes, Li Shen accepted Ye Ming's suggestion.

   Of course, this decision was made after careful consideration by himself. First of all, the Hanzhong Mansion is not as easy to defend as the Jiange, and the Pingnan Army should not leave too much manpower to waste in Hanzhong.

   Jianmenguan is more suitable.

   Furthermore, Li Shen felt that there were traitors in Hanzhong city, and Ye Ming's last sentence was ironic, which motivated him to focus on defending Hanzhong.

  Li Yan hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth: "The last will obey!"

Li Shen sat in the study, bowed his head and thought for a while, and finally said: "A few days ago, Ye Ming was divided into two parts, and this part of the march was very concealed, and there were also cavalry soldiers on the march to clean up behind him. The scout is quite suspicious."

   "I need to know where this army has gone. You tell Cheng Ping, no matter what the cost, help me find this small army that was branched out."

  Li Yan was a little puzzled.

   "Eldest brother, no matter how they divide their troops, they always have to go through the sword gate. What do they do with all this energy, eldest brother thinks that this division of the Western Army has other intentions?"

   "I don't know what their intentions were."

General    Zhuguo closed his eyes again and said slowly, "But Li Xin is gone."

   "Li Xin, who was supposed to be with Ye Ming, is gone, so it is very likely that Li Xin is carrying this small group of troops."

   "Li Xin, there are too many variables, I have to know where he went and what he wants to do..."

  Li Yan took a deep breath and lowered his head slowly.

   "The last commander will do it here."
