Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 572 Script and Director

   Li Xin and Li Shen returned to the southwest at the fastest speed.

   After they returned to the southwest, the westward expedition was actually a foregone conclusion.

The two parted at the foot of Mianzhu City. The Lord of Jing'an looked calm and lowered his eyebrows: "I received news from Jiange, and there is still a lively fight there. Now we also need to fight a few battles here, otherwise it will not be true. already."

  General Zhu Guo glanced at Li Xin and said indifferently, "What is the real way?"

   "What kind of play can make the Pingnan Army die the fastest, then how to play, so that I can report to the court in the future, so that I can have a reason and evidence."

  On the battlefield, there is actually only one choice to make the death of the Pingnan Army reasonable.

   That is to let the Pingnan Army storm Mianzhu City.

   This is an obvious thing, Li Xin mentioned it a little, and Li Shen understood it.

He lowered his eyebrows and said, "That's it, three days later, because of the Jiange's emergency, I took the Pingnan Army to storm Mianzhu City, attacked the city for three days, and suffered heavy casualties. The army was completely defeated and had to surrender the city."

   "This battle report should be able to be told at the court, right?"

   Li Xin said indifferently: "No problem, just some details need to be revised."

  After he paused, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "After you attacked the city for three days, you didn't surrender immediately. It was Ben Hou who led people to attack Jincheng. Jincheng couldn't hold on, and then Kaicheng surrendered."

General    Zhuguo frowned slightly.

   "What's the difference?"

  Li Xin hesitated for a moment, knowing that he would not be able to deceive him, so he said, "Hanzhou, help me to attack the city."

Those people in Hanzhou City are actually the remnants of Nanshu. They must have an identity that can be washed white, which means that they must participate in this war in order to become "rebels" and in the Dajin court. Possess a reasonably legal identity.

   Otherwise, they will always be rebels, and Li Xin will not be able to use them.

   Li Shen only looked up at Li Xin after hearing this.

   He was silent for a long time, and finally said slowly: "If you really want to support private soldiers, I can give you those "deadly" Pingnan troops, there is no need to use those old Nanshu rebels."

   He took a deep look at Li Xin.

   "The old Nanshu has been destroyed for more than 30 years."

   "Those remnants of Nanshu, although reluctantly formed an army, but on weekdays most of them are farmers, or they are hunters, even if they wear armor, they will not be able to fight."

   "And the trouble of using them is no less than the trouble of pacifying the Southern Army."

   "More importantly, Ping Nanjun's surname is Li, so he can easily change his surname to your Li, and the people you raised in Hanzhou may not have your surname Li."

  Jing'an Houye was expressionless.

   "Those Pingnan Army are yours, I don't want them."

   Li Shen frowned.

   "How can you still have such a heartless mind when you are in this position?"

"I, Li Shen, can't help your mother and son, what do you want me to do? I apologize, I admit it, but both the Pingnan Houfu and Jinganhoufu are surnamed Li. In your heart, the difference between the two is really the same. so important?"

   Li Xin nodded.

   "It does matter."

   "Yours is yours, what I want, I will come little by little myself."

   "Your Li is very different from my Li."

   Li Xin's Li was actually his surname in his previous life, and in his heart, he had little to do with the Pingnanhou Mansion in this world.

   Li Shen let out a long sigh.

   "Then it's up to you."

   This general of the Zhu Kingdom was about to leave. Before leaving, he said to Li Xin, "This is the matter, I will go to the capital with you. After going to the capital, if you want to kill or slash, please listen and respect."

   A mocking smile appeared on Li Xin's face.

   "You go to the capital, where is your son?"

  Li Shen was silent.

   After a while, he gave Li Xin a deep bow.

   "Li Shuo told me, he said that you promised him that you would spare his life when you broke Jincheng, and hope that the Marquis of Jing'an can keep his promise."

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

   "Don't worry, General, there is a letter in Li Xin's name. What he said is what he said. He won't be like the General, who just opened his mouth and forgot."

   "People can't be unbelievable. No matter how rhetorical the general is, he can't get around this sentence."

  Li Shen didn't say much, turned around and left.

   Li Xin didn't even look at him, and rode into Mianzhu City.

   Zhao Jia was waiting there early in the morning at the gate of Mianzhu City. After seeing Li Xin dismount, he hurriedly walked over and cupped his hands to Li Xin: "Master Hou, you are back."

   A smile appeared on Li Xin's face, and he reached out and patted Zhao Jia's shoulder.

   "Why, Brother You'an's words are reluctant to do?"

In fact, he is a person who loves to laugh very much. He always looks like a smile on weekdays. He doesn't look like he is bitter and hated in front of Li Shen. It's just that every time he sees Li Shen, he will be in a bad mood. , so he had a cold face.

   Seeing his friend at this time, the Marquis of Jingan turned into a genial look again.

Zhao Jia wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, this common affairs in Mianzhu City may be handled by your subordinates, but the people in the Imperial Army would not be willing to obey this scholar, if it wasn't for the help of the young master these days. , I'm afraid there's going to be a big mess."

  Li Xin frowned slightly: "Is there a thorn?"

   "That's not true, it's just that the subordinates are not familiar with military affairs, so it's a bit difficult to handle."

   Li Xin smiled slightly: "What happened to Mianzhu City during my absence?"

   Zhao Jia looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, Jincheng has sent a lot of swords and armors in the past ten days.

   "But these two days, they stopped sending things, and their subordinates did not contact them."

   Having said that, Zhao Youan's voice was even lower.

   "When I received these sword armors, my subordinates kept an eye on it and only let Yulinwei's people do it. Now everything is in a large courtyard in the west of Mianzhu City. At least there won't be too much news circulating in the Imperial Army."

  This army is not Li Xin's direct line, so it is difficult to block many news, such as Li Xin's receipt of Jincheng equipment.

   Once this matter reaches the emperor's ears, it is easy to understand that Cheng Li Xin colluded with Jincheng and teamed up to deceive the emperor.

   Therefore, Zhao Jia was very cautious, and even carefully blocked the news.

   Li Xin smiled and said, "Brother You An, don't be so nervous, even if it leaks out, we just say that someone in the Pingnan Army was turned against by us."

   "As for how many sets of sword armor they sent, no one will know unless we say."

   Zhao Jia raised his head and glanced at Li Xin, and then said with emotion, "My subordinates have been frightened for the past few days, for fear of ruining the grand affairs of Lord Hou."

   "I don't know when my subordinates will be able to do such a feat as Lord Hou."

   Li Xin rolled his eyes at this fellow.

   "Stop flattering, I don't like listening."

   Zhao Jia smiled awkwardly and continued: "Master Hou, these swords and armors are of good quality. Do you want to select some and send them to Hanzhou..."

  Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.

   "No, it's fine to keep these sword armors in Mianzhu. When the war in the southwest is over, we will use these sword armors to report to the court and ask for credit to the brothers."

   "Brother You'an, let me know. From now on, we will step up the defense in Mianzhu. The rebels of the Southern Army and Jiange are in an emergency. It is very likely that they will jump over the wall."

   Zhao Jia lowered his head and said.

   "My subordinates will go now."
