Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 559 You are too conceited

  When two armies fight, armor is a very important factor. If one of them has no armor at all, and a salvo shoots down, it will collapse like a piece of wheat. After a few salvos, the army will be defeated.

   And if the armor is excellent, the arrows in the distance may be injured, but they will never be fatal, and it is even difficult to make the enemy lose their combat effectiveness.

   As for hand-to-hand combat, the unarmored side will also suffer a big loss, and it is basically broken at the touch of a button.

Therefore, in the ancient days of Li Xin's world, the control of weapons and the like might not be so strict, but the control of armor and crossbow was extremely strict. !

   Because an ordinary person can form a certain combat power as long as he wears armor.

   Now, the armor that can arm the army in Jincheng is estimated to be in the early 100,000s. As long as Jincheng surrenders these 100,000 armors, no matter how many Pingnan troops there are in Jincheng, most of their combat effectiveness will be lost.

   And 20,000 crossbows and 50,000 knives and guns can make Jincheng lose the ability to take the initiative to attack.

   In other words, as long as Li Shen agrees to Li Xin's conditions, it is basically equivalent to "disarming".

General    Zhuguo looked indifferent.

   He gave Li Xin a deep look.

   "Jing'an Hou's mind is so meticulous."

Li Xin smiled and said: "If Li Xin is alone, naturally, there is no need to be so careful, but now I have a family behind me, and there are tens of thousands of brothers in the forbidden army following me. It doesn't matter if I am stupid, but I can't cause others to die together. General, don't you think so?"

   "You're right."

  Li Shen nodded.

   "There is also the entire Southwest and the entire Pingnan Army behind me, so I have been so careful for so many years."

   "It's tiring."

   Ordinary people live in this world, and there is no need to be careful about everything, because no one will find ways to harm you, and everyone should do what they usually do.

   But people like Li Shen who have a huge interest group behind them are very different.

   Their every move is tied to the lives of unknown people, so they dare not be careless, and they have to be careful.

   This is very laborious.

   No matter what you do, you have to think twice before you do anything, and then review the interests. It’s fine for one or two days. After three years, five years, or even more than ten years, you will be very, very tired.

  Li Xin sat down, reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "So the general is not going to surrender?"

   "I am willing to surrender."

Li Shen said indifferently: "The Marquis of Jing'an has the help of the real person Chunyang, and the gate of Jincheng is like a fake to you. In addition, the Crown Prince has also been kidnapped by you. It is meaningless to guard Jincheng. We are willing to Surrender."

   "Three days later, I will open the gate of Jincheng City. The Marquis of Jing'an can bring someone to receive Jincheng. The Pingnan Army will be at the gate of Jincheng City and hand over all the armor and weapons to the Marquis."

   Li Xin touched his palm and smiled: "This is very good."

"However, many of my Mianzhu defenders are not acclimatized to the water and the soil, they are sick in the southwest, and they are not able to move very well. In this way, the city gate of the Great General will be opened first, and when Senior Brother Ye breaks the sword pavilion, this Marquis invites Senior Brother Ye to take over Jincheng. ."

Li Shen smiled: "Master Hou still has 50,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhou City, plus the people in Mianzhu City, when the gate of Jincheng is open, it is enough to take Jincheng, so why hide it? Do you want to wait for Ye Ming to grab this credit?"

   "General, don't talk nonsense."

   Li Xin's face was calm: "In Hanzhou City, when did I have 50,000 soldiers and horses?"

   Li Shen laughed, but did not expose Li Xin.

The Marquis of Jing'an continued: "Again, I don't need any credit for taking Jincheng. Originally, I was only a lieutenant in this westward expedition. Destroy the Southern Border, right?"

  Li Shen lowered his head and drank a cup of tea, then said indifferently: "Li Xin, the fifty thousand people in Hanzhou are too far from the capital. If something happens to you in the capital, they can't save you."

  The Marquis of Jing'an smiled: "I don't violate the laws of the country, and I don't betray the court, how could something happen in the capital?"

   "Everyone knows that there is no need to pretend here."

  Li Shen lowered his eyebrows and said, "If I remember correctly, you are now the second-rank general of the Imperial Army. After you have pacified the southwest, and returned to the capital, what will the emperor seal you for?"

   "Is it the right governor of the Grand Governor's House from the first grade, or the left governor of the Zhengyi product?"

   "Or put the entire Imperial Army into your hands?"

   "Your surname is Li, the emperor can't trust you."

  The Great General of Zhuguo chuckled: "None of these three positions will fall on your head. You can hold a false title of Minister of War at most, and then add a first-class title to you, and give you a first-class marquis."

Having said this, Li Shen continued: "These old men of the Imperial Army who went west with you will either be transferred from the Imperial Army or be transferred to Hou Jingde's command after returning to the capital. After three or five years, you will only be old. Honestly, in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion, I will be the concubine of the eldest princess of Qinghe."

   A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xin's mouth.

   "There's nothing wrong with that, honestly being a rich man for a lifetime is much better than being a general."

   "But the emperor of the Ji family will not let you live in peace for the rest of your life."

   Li Shen looked indifferent.

   "He was seized by the palace change. You are the biggest contributor to that palace change and the biggest witness."

   "Benevolence becomes enmity!"

   "Hou Jingde, you and Ye Lin will become the emperor's thorn in the eyes of the emperor many years from now, the stain he wants to get rid of the most in his life!"

   "Hou Jingde came from a general background, and he has no brains. He may have saved his life by shrinking into the forbidden army. Ye Lin's family has a great business, and the Zhenbei Army is there, so the emperor is unlikely to touch him."

   "But what about you?"

  Li Shen's eyes were stern: "After you returned to the capital, you were left out for a few years, and after you faded out of the court and the public, the emperor would do whatever he wanted to do with you."

   "Think about it for yourself, can a Princess Qinghe be able to keep you?"

   "The general said so much because he wanted me to turn my back on the court and join forces with your Pingnan Army."

  Li Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled: "It's hard for the general to think so much for me."

   "But what the general can think of, I can also think of."

  Li Shen finally moved slightly.

   He took a deep look at his homeless son.

   "So, what are you going to do?"

   "No matter what you do, you can't be like a general who lives all his life just to live."

   "The general once taught me to look a few more steps forward when something happens."

Li Xin lowered his eyebrows and said, "I have come to this step, and naturally I have to think about it before and after, and take a look. If I can live in the capital in peace in the future, then I will do it with peace of mind. My Marquis of Jing'an, if I can't survive, I will naturally have my own means of protecting myself."

   "Don't worry about the general for me."

  The Marquis of Jing An patted the armor on his body and made a crisp sound.

   "So, after the general said so much, is he willing to surrender or not?"

  Li Shen sat on the spot, bowed his head and did not answer the question.

   "Li Xin, you are too conceited, not everything will be under your control."

   "The emperor of the Ji family is even less likely to be under your control."

   "In the future, when the emperor who holds the throne of God in your hands will attack you, you will know how much wrong you have done today because of your arrogance!"
