Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 553 An Zhitianlei will not recur?

   When Li Xin received Li Shuo's letter, it was already two days later.

The content of the letter was very simple. He asked Li Xin to send troops to attack Jincheng and create opportunities for him.

   Honestly, this requirement is not excessive, but it is risky.

   Today's Li Xin, as long as he defends Mianzhu, is invincible, but if he sends troops out of the city, there is no such advantage at all.

   In case Li Shuo wanted to deceive his main force out of the city and set up an ambush near Jincheng, Li Xin's subordinates did not have many horses, and the Pingnan Army chased after him, and there was basically no way to escape.

   Therefore, Zhao Jia did not approve of Li Xin sending troops.

   The county magistrate of Mianzhu said solemnly to Li Xin: "Master Hou, this Li Shuo...is from Jincheng, and his words cannot be trusted."

   "We don't have to take the risk."

   Li Xin nodded with a smile: "Brother You An said that I naturally couldn't let my brothers go to risk because of a letter from him."

   "But Li Shuo's suggestion is not impossible to try."

   Zhao Jia frowned slightly.

   "What does Lord Hou mean?"

   "If you want to divert Li Shen's attention, there is no need to send troops to attack. I have another way."

   "Whether it succeeds or not is Li Shuo's business, we just need to watch it quietly."

After    figured out how to deal with it, Li Xin sent a letter to Li Shuo, delaying the time for three days.

   Five days after Li Shuo's agreement in the letter, that is, the third day after Li Xin received the letter, and three days later, that is, six days later.

   After writing this reply, Lord Jingan sat down again and wrote the second letter.

   Both letters were sent to Jincheng.

   After asking his subordinates to send out both letters, Zhao Jia returned to Li Xin and lowered his voice: "Master Hou..."

  The Marquis of Jing'an narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Now my Master Wang has already arrived at the city. At this time, as the leader of the vanguard army, there is nothing wrong with me going to persuade the rebels to surrender, right?"

  Yes, Li Xin's second letter is to Li Shen.

Today, the four lieutenants of the Pingnan Army, Li Yan was in Jiange, the other lieutenant Cheng Ping died under Mianzhu City, and the other two lieutenants were not the most important figures in the Pingnan Army, as long as Li Shen was called out of Mianzhu, It is much more convenient for Li Shuo to do things in the city.

  Two letters were sent to Jincheng one after the other.

Of course, the letter to Li Shuo was relatively secretive, and it was sent to Li Shuo secretly by Li Xin. As for the letter to Li Shen, the great general of the Zhu Kingdom, it was much more open and upright, and it was sent by Li Xin. A messenger swaggered into the city and sent it to General Pingnan's mansion.

This messenger, named Wei Jian, is a guard who was born in Yulin Wei next to Li Xin. He is Li Xin's first team. He is about the same age as Li Xin, but he has been with Li Xin for two years. Much time.

   After Wei Jian reported his origins at the gate of Jincheng, he successfully entered Jincheng not long after, and under the leadership of a Pingnan army officer, he came to the Pingnan General's Mansion in Jincheng.

After waiting for more than half an hour in the front hall of General Pingnan's Mansion, the health inspection saw General Li Shen. He stood up from his chair without salute, but took out a letter from his sleeve and held it in his hand. .

   "At the order of the Marquis of Jing'an, I came to deliver a letter to Li Shen of the Pingnan Army."

General    Zhuguo frowned.

   "What official and rank are you, and dare to call this Marquis by name?"

   Generally speaking, only elders or superiors can address by name directly, even if it is addressed by elders, it is extremely rude, and among peers, it is common to address them with words.

   Calling someone by name is no different from scolding someone by pointing their nose.

   Wei Jian raised his head high.

   "No talent for the eighth-rank captain of the Western Army."

  Li Shen took the letter and sneered: "The people who Li Xin brought out don't understand the rules like this?"

   "It depends on who is right."

Wei Jian was neither humble nor arrogant, and said indifferently: "If you are talking to the court's Pingnan Marquis, Zhu Guo's general Li Shen, you will naturally be polite, but unfortunately, there was a fire in the Pingnan Marquis mansion two years ago. General Guoda and his wife were unfortunately killed, and now they are here to deliver a letter to Li Shen, a rebel in the southwest, why are you still polite?"

  Li Shen's face was expressionless.

"Young man, it's easy to talk for a while, but you have to know that this is in Jincheng, and your Jing'an Hou will be well behaved when you come here, because he knows that this Hou can kill anyone at any time here. people."

   "Master Hou is keeping a useful body in order to make a career."

   Wei Jian said with a smile: "The next one is different. Since the next one is here, you will not be afraid of death."

  Li Shen glanced at Wei Jian with a blank expression.

   If it was the former Marquis of Pingnan, someone talked to him like this, and he was still talking to him like this on the ground in Jincheng, he would have been in a different place now.

   But now, Li Shen also has scruples in doing things.

   He didn't look at Wei Jian anymore, just stretched out the letter in his hand.

  The content of the letter is very ordinary, the general idea is that Li Xin will build a reed awning fifty miles outside Mianzhu City and invite him to meet in a few days, with 500 people on each side.

   Bows are not allowed.

  The two sides have always been at war, and this kind of meeting is not uncommon. Sometimes when the fight is in full swing, we can talk to Lu Peng, and the battle will not be fought.

   Of course, there are also people who ambushed knife and axemen, and bloodshed occurred under the reeds.

   Li Shen continued to watch with an expressionless face.

   He didn't have any interest in going to the appointment at first, because after meeting Li Xin, the two sides couldn't talk about the outcome, and maybe he would be ridiculed by the proud young man, there is really no need to humiliate himself.

   But Li Xin mentioned a sentence at the end of the letter, which made General Zhu Guo's pupils shrink.

   "If the general does not see him, how can he know that Mianzhu Tianlei will not reappear in Jincheng?"

   This is a blatant threat.

The story of   Mianzhu City being blasted open by the "Pure Yang Zhenren" with Tianlei has now been vaguely spread to Jincheng, at least Li Shen has heard of it, so the meaning of Li Xin's words is particularly obvious.

  If you don't come, I'll let Jincheng's gates be blown open.

  Mianzhu's military newspaper, Li Shen read it in detail, I don't know how many times.

In   , there was only one sentence about Mianzhu's destruction of the city.

   On the evening of the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, the city gate of Mianzhu suddenly suffered a huge force and was torn apart.

   No matter how smart Li Shen is, he can't understand something he has never seen in a short period of time, and he can't understand what gunpowder is, so he is indeed somewhat afraid.

   After all, if the gates of Jincheng suddenly exploded like Mianzhu, then the Pingnan Army would really have no capital at all.

  Thinking of this, General Zhu Guo stuffed the letter into his sleeve and looked up at Wei Jian lightly.

   "Go back and tell Li Xin."

   "I'll go see him."
