Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 721 We are our own people

If ordinary people saw the military report of Yunzhou City, they might only regard it as an ordinary victory. Even if they saw the number of casualties in Yunzhou City, most of them would only regard it as an inconspicuous number. Come on, but Ye Ming and Li Xin are different generals who have led soldiers. They have all seen the dead.

   And many, many dead people.

  In their eyes, the content of this military newspaper is bloody.

   So it is very normal for Ye Ming to make this request to Li Xin. He doesn't want the Zhenbei Army to be influenced by politics like the Yunzhou Zhongjia Army's decision-making.

  Li Xin was also a military general who had led a large-scale corps in the southwest. He could understand Ye Ming's meaning very well. After reaching out to take this wooden box, the Marquis of Jing An took a deep breath and looked serious.

   "I understand what Senior Brother means, this battle can be fought or killed, but it can't be fought as stupidly as the Yunzhou Army, and it can't use the lives of soldiers to fight for the happiness of some people."

  Li Xin's face was determined.

   "Brother, don't worry, unless the court doesn't let me be the general of Zhenbei, it is absolutely impossible for the Zhenbei Army to reproduce the old events of Yunzhou City today!"

   Ye Ming showed a satisfied smile.

   He coughed and said slowly, "With your words, my brother will no longer have any worries, and you can rest assured to return to Ningling's hometown."

   He stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xin's sleeve, and said slowly: "The dog is by your side, you have to teach him well for me, he... doesn't have much time."

Ye Shaobao said in a deep voice, "If I'm gone one day, he will attack the Duke of Chen, and then the entire Ye family's burden will be on his shoulders, his fourth uncle can't help him, and your uncle can't help him either. He can only rely on himself to support this family."

   "Wei brother has been in the north all these years, there is no way to teach him, and now I can't take him with him to teach him anything. Chang'an, you are in charge of the Zhenbei Army and take him with you. I hope you can teach him well."

  Li Xin shook his head.

   "I'm the same age as Ye Mao, even a few years younger than him, so we can't talk about teaching, at most we can learn from each other."

   Li Xin looked sincere and said in a low voice, "Master Ye has disappeared from the Ye family. Senior brother, you must take care of yourself."

   Ye Ming smiled.

   "I don't want to die if I don't die. When I go back to Ningling this time, I plan to resign. I will stay in Ningling's hometown and guard my father's grave while reading quietly for a few years."

   "In the blink of an eye, I have been in the army for more than 20 years. Every day I focus on military books and battle strategies. Otherwise, it is complicated military affairs and intriguing courtrooms. These are all things that I don't like."

  Ye Ming slowly exhaled a turbid breath.

   "To be able to go back to my hometown and turn a few volumes of books against the breeze for a few years is my ideal for the rest of my brother's life."

  Li Xin took a deep look at Ye Shaobao and said sincerely, "Senior brother should be a scholar."

   "But my brother gave up literature and joined martial arts, and he still became one of the few famous generals in the world. Such talent is admirable."

  Ye Ming shook his head and said indifferently: "I joined the army so smoothly because I stood on the shoulders of my old father. If I kept studying, I might not be able to achieve today's achievements. Maybe I wouldn't even be able to pass the jinshi exam."

   He sighed slightly.

   "But even if I fail the jinshi exam, that's what I like."

  Li Xin did not speak.

   Ye Ming's life, although not as good as his father Ye Sheng, can be regarded as a legend. If Li Xin was in his position, he might not be able to do well.

   There is no problem with him being a son, a father, or a minister. For decades, the only person Ye Shaobao has wronged has turned out to be himself...

The two brothers said a few words about the Zhenbei Army. Li Xin suddenly remembered something, and after hesitating for a while, he lowered his head and said, "Senior brother, after all, I'm not very old, and it's my first time here. The Zhenbei Army may not be able to convince the public. My brother has been in the Zhenbei Army for more than 20 years, and I think he should have many trusted confidants. I wonder if they can… help me?”

   Ye Ming was stunned for a while, then slowly shook his head.

   "Changan, you are too much."

"If an outsider came to Zhenbei Army to preside over military affairs, most of them would really be unable to convince the public. Those generals of Zhenbei Army may also act in disobedience, but you are different in Chang'an. You are my junior brother and my father's closed disciple. ."

Ye Ming said solemnly: "Before my brother left Zhenbei Army, he had already told them about you in Chang'an, and told them to treat you as if they were me. Those are my subordinates for decades, and they will not listen to me. , after you arrive at Zhenbei Army, you will immediately become the supreme commander of Zhenbei Army, what you say, they will do."

   Lord Jing'an's face turned slightly red.

It is true that he thought too much about this matter. When he wanted to come, the Zhenbei Army was half of the Ye family army. The Ye family had commanded the Zhenbei Army for many years. , even through Ye Mao to slowly control the Zhenbei Army, who would have thought that Brother Ye, he had already paved the way for him before he left.

   "I'm ashamed, little brother."

  Li Xin bowed his head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's the younger brother who has underestimated the spirit of the elder brother."

   Ye Ming smiled slightly.

   "I don't have much energy for my brother."

   "If you are an outsider and are suddenly appointed by the imperial court as the general of the Zhenbei Army, then you will be a little uncomfortable as a brother, and you must be a stumbling block for him, but you are different in Chang'an."

  Ye Shaobao took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Five years ago, when I was in the capital, I had a chat with my father, and he told me, don't treat you as an outsider, just treat you as an extra fifth brother."

   "Father's words are always in my heart for my brother. Since then, I have treated you as a real brother in Chang'an."

   Li was quite touched in his confidence.

Over the years, no matter how close he was to the Ye family, he always regarded himself as an outsider in his heart. Now that Ye Ming said this, he realized that the old man Ye, who died suddenly, regarded himself as an outsider as early as five years ago. the Ye family.

   He stood up from the chair and bowed deeply to Ye Ming.

   "Master Ye treats me like a son, and Li Xin naturally regards Master Ye as his father."

   "Brother, don't worry, on the Zhenbei Army side, Li Xin will definitely not disappoint the Ye family."

   Ye Ming got up and patted Li Xin on the shoulder, his voice a little hoarse.

   "The Ye family's wealth is entrusted to you brother."

  …

After the two brothers and sisters talked about Yuwen's ministries for a while, Li Xin got up and said goodbye. After all, brother Ye's own son was still waiting outside. The father and son hadn't seen each other for several years. There is a lot to say, Li Xin can't keep going.

  Ye Ming took his hand and said a few more words to him before letting him go.

When    walked to the door of the room, Li Xin patted Ye Mao, who was guarding the door, on the shoulder, and said softly, "Go in."

   Young Master glanced at Li Xin and nodded slightly: "Uncle, when will we continue to go north?"

   "It's up to you."

   Li Xin said with a smile: "If you want to stay with Senior Brother Ye for a few more days, we will rest here for a few days before leaving, otherwise we will leave early tomorrow morning."

   Young Master didn't hesitate, immediately lowered his head and said, "Then leave early tomorrow morning."

   "After all, the emperor's life is in his body, so it's not easy to delay."

   said, he pushed open the door and walked in.
