Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 535

   Li Xin slept comfortably.

  To be honest, during the time he was in Fucheng, he never slept well because Fucheng was not very safe.

   Compared with Mianzhu, Fucheng has low walls and the city is too small. Although Li Xin has a lot of people, he is not very good at guarding Fucheng, but Mianzhu is very different.

Mianzhu can be said to be the first acropolis of Jincheng. After acquiring Mianzhu, plus Li Xin's army of nearly 40,000 soldiers, even if Li Shen goes crazy and puts all his family in Mianzhu, Li Xin can support him for a long time. a period of time.

   At least it can be supported until Ye Ming rushes over.

   In other words, he Li Changan has completely established his foothold in the southwest, and no one can easily move him.

  From today, he is a nail stuck in the southwest, he doesn't want to move, no one can pull him away!

  After Lord Jingan got up, he looked at the sky and found that it was already afternoon.

   He stretched and found a piece of clothing on his body.

   The place where he lives now is in the yamen of Mianzhu. Zhao Jia and others are working in the front yard. Li Xin washed his face and rushed to the front yard, where he found Zhao Youan who was waiting for a case.

   "Is Ye Mao back?"

"not yet."

   Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said: "The news that came back earlier, Cheng Ping personally brought 3,000 people back, and they all have the will to die. If you want to get rid of them, no matter who you are, it will take time."

   "Mostly until it gets dark, the little man can come back."

  Li Xin nodded and said, "The order in Mianzhu City needs to be maintained. From now on, Brother You'an, you will temporarily serve as the magistrate of Mianzhu County. Brother You'an, please pay more attention to matters big and small in the city."

Having said this, Jing'an Hou paused for a while, and then continued: "And then there are the three profiteers who reselling grain in Fucheng. I brought them to Mianzhu. If there is less food, Brother Youan can meet them when you have time, and in my name, "borrow" some food from them."

  Jincheng is also a big city, and Jianmenguan has not been broken yet. Although the situation in the southwest has been broken by Li Xin, it will take a long time to completely solve it.

  According to Li Xin’s estimation, it will not be resolved until at least the second half of the second year of Taikang.

   Therefore, the food issue during this period is what Li Xin needs to worry about. Although there is some food in Mianzhu City, the more hard currency, the better.

   Zhao Jia was silent for a while, then looked at Li Xin cautiously.

   "Master Hou, the food you borrowed... shall we pay it back?"

   "What..."

   Li Xin rolled his eyes at him and said as a matter of course: "Of course there is no need to return it."

   "Write down the number and throw it to the Ministry of Household after returning to the capital. Let the Ministry of Household pay it back. Does Lord Ben look like the kind of person who defaults on his debts?"

   Zhao Jia sighed helplessly, lowered his eyebrows and said, "My subordinates know."

  Li Xin put his hands on his back, suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, there is one more important thing I forgot to mention."

   Hearing that Li Xin said the most important thing, Zhao Jia's expression became solemn. He stood up and looked at Li Xin.

   "What's the matter?"

   "Brother You An, don't forget to ask someone to repair the city gate that was blown open by the thunder, otherwise the Pingnan Army will come in from there to beat us, and we can't bear it."

   Zhao Jia was speechless.

   He was silent for a long time, and finally said quietly: "Master Hou, after entering the city, my subordinates will let people repair the city gate..."

   Lord Li nodded with satisfaction.

   "As expected of Brother You'an, remember to be firmer."

   After saying this, Lord Li turned around and was about to leave.

   Zhao Jia coughed and said, "Master Hou, you put all Mianzhu affairs on your subordinate's head, what are you going to do yourself?"

Since entering Shu, Li Xin has basically made up his mind. At this moment, Zhao Jia took it for granted that Li Xin had given him these chores, and he must have something important to do. He opened his mouth to ask if he had There is nothing to help.

   Master Li didn't turn his head back, but replied lazily.

   "I am tired, so I need to rest for a few days."

   Zhao Youan didn't speak when he heard the words, just lowered his head and took a few deep breaths in silence.

   He is now beginning to wonder if he has chosen the wrong person...

  …

   After it got dark, the young man who went out of the city to chase down the enemy finally came back from outside the city.

   He was covered in blood.

   But he wasn't unscathed. This tall little man had a small crossbow arrow left on his shoulders, and he didn't have time to pull it out.

   But it was clear that he was not mortally wounded, not even to the bone.

   After the young master returned to Mianzhu, he did not go back to rest immediately, but came to Li Xin's residence. After being informed by Yu Linwei, he wanted to see Li Xin.

   It's a bit late now.

   But Li Xin, who was wearing a padded jacket, still yawned when he saw him.

   After seeing Li Xin, Ye Mao stood up, bowed his head and clasped his fists: "Uncle Master."

   Li Xin smiled and asked, "How was the result?"

   "The 3,000 people of the Pingnan Army returned to the army, all of which have been annihilated by our army. Because the others have no horses, they have been unable to catch up. It took a lot of time to clean the battlefield, so they came back late."

  Li Xin nodded and asked, "Where's Cheng Ping?"

   Li Xin already knew what happened to Cheng Ping himself.

   Ye Mao let out a breath.

"died."

   "Nailed to death by my own hands."

  Li Xin was expressionless and said, "Have you brought back his corpse?"

In this era, it is still relatively bloody. The most important thing to get the certificate of military merit is to use the head. For a head of Cheng Ping's level, bringing it back is a huge credit. Yinzi is no problem.

   Ye Mao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I buried him."

   "He didn't have to die, but he came back to die..."

  Li Xin interrupted Ye Mao's words and asked calmly, "So you think he is a hero?"

   Ye Mao did not speak.

Li Xin continued: "He made Mianzhu look like this, and he wouldn't be able to survive back to Jincheng. In comparison, dying on the battlefield is more heroic. At least Li Shen has no excuse to attack his family. "

   "The principle is this principle."

   Ye Mao raised his head and faced Li Xin.

   "But when it comes to dying, not many dare to die."

  Li Xin was stunned for a while, then nodded and said, "You're right."

   Having said that, the Marquis of Jing'an glanced at the wound on Ye Mao's shoulder and asked, "If you don't deal with the injury, what are you doing here with me, please?"

   Ye Mao slowly shook his head.

   "There is one thing I don't understand. I heard from my grandfather that Shishu is one of the top five smart people in the Dajin court today, so I want to ask Shishu."

   "You just ask."

   Li Xin sat down and poured Ye Mao a cup of tea.

   "But I don't necessarily understand."

   Young Master still had a strong **** aura on his body. He took a few deep breaths and gritted his teeth: "I want to know, on the battlefield, should we do whatever we can!"

   Li Xin glanced at Ye Mao lightly.

   "This, Master Ye should have taught you."

   Of course Ye Sheng taught this, Old Man Ye said, as long as you can win, it is right to eat shit.

   Young Master lowered his head and said, "Grandfather taught me, but when Cheng Ping died in front of me today, I was still a little uncomfortable."

  Li Xin stood up and glanced at the young master who was a few years older than him.

   He wanted to say something, but finally shook his head.

   "That's all, it's just what you have in mind."

   "It's not a bad thing to have one more person in the capital."
