Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 578 Keep your promises!

   The last counterattack of the Southern Army ended in failure.

  A lot of things cannot be done with hard work. Although these Pingnan troops have already tried their best, as long as the forbidden army does not make fatal mistakes, they will not be able to win Mianzhu in a short time.

   It is not enough to die for many people.

   Even if the Pingnan Army in Jincheng is willing to die under Mianzhu City and attack Mianzhu day and night, Mianzhu will have the possibility of breaking the city.

   Not to mention that in this case, the Pingnan Army will also fight all out, which will not benefit anyone, even if Li Shen is willing to do so, this situation is impossible.

   The speed of soldiers in this era cannot reach the level of invincibility in later generations. As long as the battle damage reaches a certain level, they will immediately flee. It is unlikely that there will be a situation in later generations where only one person is left in a deadly battle.

   Therefore, after three days of fierce attack on Mianzhu, the Pingnan Army began to withdraw troops one after another.

  The Marquis of Jing'an was standing on the city wall, watching the Pingnan Army gradually retreat.

In about half a day, the people of Ping Nanjun slowly disappeared from Li Xin's field of vision. Zhao Jia, like Li Xin, is now holding a telescopic mirror on the tower to look into the distance. Li Xin said with a smile, "Master Hou seems to like standing on high places."

   "Stand high and see far."

Li Xin turned back and smiled at Zhao Jia: "In the past, when I was low down, I couldn't see things that were too far away. At that time, I thought I was inferior to others. Later, when I stood taller, I realized that I was no better than others. Where are you going?"

In the past, when Li Xin was a small person, no matter what he did, he didn't have enough vision. Compared with the emperor of Chengde, Li Shen and Ye Sheng, his vision was much worse. At that time, he thought that his realm was not enough, but later he found out that it was him. Stand too low.

   The current Zhao Jia is actually like this.

   Zhao Jia is much better than Li Xin in the details, but in the big picture, he has never been able to compare to Li Xin. This is also because he has not experienced those things, and because he is not standing high enough.

   Zhao Jia smiled and said, "What did Lord Hou see?"

   "I saw the future pattern of the southwest."

The Marquis of Jingan put his hands behind his hands and said indifferently: "After Jincheng is broken, Brother Ye will not be able to stay in Jincheng for a long time, and will soon return to Beijing or Jimen Pass, and then the court will send another person to take over. Southwest affairs."

   "Furthermore, this person must be a civil servant."

Li Xin paused and continued: "After the incident of pacifying the South Army, the imperial court will no longer allow a single army in the southwest to stand outside. General, the imperial court will definitely take strict precautions to prevent the recurrence of the Pingnan Army."

Having said this, Li Xin squinted his eyes and continued: "At that time, the influence of this garrisoned army in the southwest will not be particularly large, and if the civil minister sent to the southwest is not powerful enough, it will not be possible in a short time. Complete control of the Southwest."

   "At that time, although the imperial court has regained the southwest, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away, this place will still have its own rules."

   Zhao Jia's face changed slightly, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by Lord Hou?"

   "I mean, those remnants of the Pingnan Army, as well as the remnants of Nanshu in Hanzhou, may still be able to make a fuss in the southwest."

   "But that's all for the future."

   Li Xin smiled and continued: "What we need to focus on now is how to win Jincheng as soon as possible."

   Zhao Jia lowered his head and said, "Although those Pingnan troops have retreated, their vitality has not been lost. It is not easy for us to win Jincheng."

  Li Xin laughed.

   "Brother You An, don't worry, someone will come over tonight and tell us how to take Jincheng."

   Zhao Jia gave Li Xin a thoughtful look, then lowered his head and said, "If that's the case, my subordinates won't ask any more questions."

   "There have been a lot of wounded people in the city these days. My subordinates go down and help."

  Li Xin nodded and said, "It's still the same sentence, if you can save it, try to save it as much as possible. If you need money, grain, medicinal materials, etc., just come to me, and I will find a way."

   Zhao Jia lowered his head and said, "Subordinates obey."

  …

   The sky darkened quickly.

   After Li Xin went back to eat dinner, he continued to stand on the tower and waited for people until it was completely dark, and there were only a few horses in the distance, slowly approaching.

  The Marquis of Jing'an walked down the tower, took two or three personal guards, and went out of the city in person.

   Not long after, they met at a place a mile or two away from Mianzhu City.

  Jing'an Marquis took the lead in turning over and dismounting, and smiled at the person who came.

   "It seems that the general is still not convinced. After these three days, are you convinced?"

   Li Shen also jumped off his horse, walked slowly to Li Xin, and said lightly: "Since you want to make a show, you have to do it a little bit more honestly, and don't kill people, you can't fool the emperor."

   Li Xin laughed and did not expose the lie of the general.

   In fact, even if it is to be a real show, it is real enough that thousands of people on both sides die.

   Li Shen folded his hands into his sleeves and said solemnly, "The Pingnan Army should return to Jincheng in three or four days. Prepare yourself here, and then you can go to attack Jincheng."

"Previously, Jincheng had already delivered 30,000 to 40,000 sets of armor to Mianzhu, and several thousand died in Mianzhu in the past few days. Now, there are at most 10,000 or 20,000 people who can wear armor in Jincheng. Don't worry about attacking Mianzhu?"

   "The words of the general, of course, I am relieved."

   Li Xin said lightly: "But when it comes to attacking Jincheng, I'm not in a hurry. I made an appointment with the people from Hanzhou. When the people in Hanzhou move, I will naturally leave for Jincheng."

General    Zhuguo frowned.

   "Then when can you send troops?"

   Li Xin smiled and said, "Why is the general so impatient?"

   "The sword gate won't last long."

Li Shen took a deep breath and said: "At this time, most of the materials at the Jiange have been consumed, but Ye Ming is still attacking. ."

   Having said this, he looked up at Li Xin.

   "As soon as the sword pavilion is broken, Lord Li will have the final say in this play."

"Master Li should send troops as soon as possible and go to Jincheng. When everyone pretends to fight, I will open the city and surrender. At that time, Master Li can be the master of Jincheng. Otherwise, wait for Ye Ming to defeat the sword pavilion and arrive When Mianzhu joins you, nothing can be done."

  Li Xin squinted his eyes and smiled.

   "It doesn't matter to me whether Brother Ye comes or not. I'll be waiting for him in Mianzhu, and I can sell him a good one. I won't offend him."

   Li Xin is only the deputy general of the Western Expedition, and Ye Ming is the main general. If Li Xin, the deputy general, wins Jincheng in one go, then Ye Ming, the main general, will have a hard time on his face.

  Deng Ai and Zhong Hui were like this back then.

   Li Shen was angry.

   "Li Xin, you must always keep your promises!"
