Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 678 I won't hurt my own people

Zhao Jia's family lived in the Marquis of Jing'an mansion, and his eldest son was seven or eight years old. On weekdays, Zhong Xiaoxiao would occasionally take them to play together. Therefore, when Li Xin gave Zhao Jia the wind that night, the scene It was still very lively. After everyone was full, the children were taken to sleep, and only Li Xin and Zhao Jia were left at the wine table.

  The two have been apart for several years, and now they finally meet, naturally there are many things to talk about.

   In addition, most of these things are shameful, and there is no way to see people, so they will be "cleared" early.

   It was already April in the eighth year of Taikang, and the weather was getting warmer, so Li Xin simply had the table moved to the backyard, and the two of them drank wine in the night breeze.

   is a low-purity rice wine.

   Zhurongjiu is a kind of spirit, although Li Xin made it, but he doesn't like to drink it himself. Even if he drinks on weekdays, he mostly drinks these rice wines.

  The two people sat on the floor, separated by a low table, on the two mats.

​​​​​​

   In the past five years, Li Xin has basically been learning about the situation in the southwest, and the information from the southwest has been sent to his desk, but Zhao Jia, who is in the southwest, is not very clear about the situation in the capital.

  Li Xin took a sip of wine and sighed slowly.

   "There's going to be a war."

  The Zhao family nodded slightly, and after being silent for a while, he opened his mouth and said, "To the north?"

It's not hard to guess. The east of Dajin is the East China Sea. Although there are occasional pirates, but it has not become a climate. The south side can be called a disaster, that is, the Pingnan Army, but the Pingnan Army was already five years ago. was "killed".

   was wiped out in name, at least.

   And the Tubo kingdom in the west, because of the great prosperity of Buddhism in these years, has also lost its combat power, and there are few large-scale conflicts, and even if the imperial court wants to eat Tubo, it is unlikely.

   After thinking about it, there are only the Yuwen tribes in the north.

   Li Xin did not shy away, and said directly: "About another two or three months, Yunzhou City will take action against Yuwen's ministries. If the trouble gets bigger, war will break out."

   Zhao Jia fell silent, and then slowly let out a breath.

   "Is it a foregone conclusion?"

  Li Xin glanced at the scholar who was three or four years older than him, and said slowly, "Your Majesty wants... to contribute to the history of history."

Hearing this, Zhao Youan understood that the matter was irreversible, and he shook his head helplessly: "The good days of Dajin have been accumulated over the past few decades, and now because of one's heart, he has to start the war again. Duan, let thousands of people in the world suffer..."

  Li Xin shook his head at him.

   "Brother You An drank too much."

   Zhao Jia's voice stopped abruptly. After he was silent for a while, he spit out the smell of alcohol and said, "It's me who lost my way."

  Li Xin picked up a glass of wine and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you lose your temper. There is no third person here, and no one will tell others what Brother You An said."

   "Actually, things have not reached the point of no return. There is a way to get His Majesty to give up the Northern Expedition. Brother You An, would you like to hear it?"

   Zhao Jia is a typical scholar. Hearing this, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Master Hou, enlighten me..."

   Lord Jingan smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty's intention now is to let the Clan Army of Yunzhou City test the Yuwen tribes and how much combat power is left. If the Clan Army is defeated in this test, then Your Majesty will definitely give up the northern expedition. Thought, I will never bring this up again in my lifetime."

In this world, Li Xin should be the person who knows the emperor Taikang best. To put it bluntly, when the emperor was in power, he looked majestic and mighty, but he was a bit of a bully in his bones. Ministry, he will soon give up this idea, and be his peace emperor with peace of mind.

   Zhao Jiada frowned.

   "A kind of army can't lose."

Of course, the army of the Zhong family can't lose. First of all, this is related to the reputation of the family as "the first general of the Jin Dynasty". After all, the most dazzling generals of the big Jin in the past few decades are the Ye and Li family, and the Zhong who is in the same country with the country. The family has never had many dazzling records. At this time, it is impossible for the family members to allow themselves to lose to the extremely weak Can Zhou.

   On the other hand, the reason is because… the Yunzhou City of Zhongjia is one of the northern gateways of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Because of Ye Sheng's battle that year, Bei Zhou was terrified and the courage of Yuwen's ministries was dissipated. Therefore, for three or four years, even if people starved to death all year round, Yuwen's ministries did not attack the customs on a large scale. Some small tribes will tentatively attack the edge of Dajin and hit the autumn wind.

   Just like the battle of Xiao Chenji that Li Xin encountered in those days, the total number of people generally does not exceed 1,000.

   But if Yunzhou's Zhongjia army was defeated in a head-on collision, Yuwen's tribes would be swept away from their fears, and there would be no peace in the north of Dajin since then.

Li Xin raised his head and drank another bowl of rice wine, then said with a smile: "Chong's army can't be defeated, but it shouldn't be too smooth, we just need to wait in peace in the capital and wait for news from the north, in a few months, Everything becomes clear."

   Having said this, Lord Jingan glanced at Zhao Jia and lowered his voice.

   "Brother You'an, what happened to the Pingnan Army in the southwest?"

   "Going further west."

   Zhao Jia opened his mouth and said: "In the southwest and further west, there are some places where the Great Jin and Tubo have nothing to do. The Pingnan Army should temporarily settle in those places. After a few years, they have also built a few small towns."

   "That Li Shuo..."

   Zhao Jia paused and said, "I met him before I came back. He has grown so much in the past few years, it's hard to see through."

  Li Xin nodded, thought about it in his heart, and continued to ask, "Then...what about the Hanzhou Army?"

"In the past few years, Mu Ying has not stopped training the Hanzhou army, everything is according to the standards of Yulinwei, and now the 50,000 Hanzhou army has become a battleable soldier, and It's not the hype like it was five years ago."

   Li Xin nodded in satisfaction.

   "Available?"

   Li Xin suddenly asked such a question, Zhao Jia looked up at Li Xin, and after thinking for a while, he said solemnly to Li Xin.

   "This depends on what you think, Lord Hou."

   "If you trust Mu Ying, this Hanzhou army is naturally available."

   Lord Jingan patted Zhao Jia on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother You An, don't be nervous, I haven't tried to rebel yet."

   Zhao Youan gave a wry smile and gritted his teeth: "This is the end of the matter, no matter what you do, Lord Hou, I can only go with Jing'an Houfu. Even if you want to rebel, Lord Hou, it's amazing that Zhao Jia has one more head."

   He thought very clearly, the matter has reached the point where it is today, and the discussion has long been indistinguishable from each other, and it is not a relationship that can be shied away from.

   As for whether Li Xin will rebel, Zhao Jia has been in the southwest in recent years, and he has thought about it many times.

   After all, there is no loyal minister, and they will spend a lot of time and secretly raise a military force of tens of thousands of people!

  Li Xin stood up from the mat and stretched lazily after moving his legs.

   "Brother You An, rest assured, Li Xin will never harm his own people."
