Unparalleled Concubine

  Chapter 794 Quiet Mimi's Imperial Decree

Only 50,000 Hanzhou troops are far from being able to control the southwest. After all, not to mention the southwest, there are more than a dozen state capitals in a single Shu County, and the entire southwest has dozens of state capitals. With only 50,000 Hanzhou troops, They could only hold on to a few cities. If the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of imperial troops really came over, it would be difficult for the Hanzhou army to resist.

   Even if there was a thunderbolt, they could only defend the city. They were surrounded for a year or two, and they starved to death if they were not beaten to death.

Therefore, the manpower of the Hanzhou army is very insufficient. If Li Shuo can wait patiently for a few months, or a year or two, when the court sees the weakness in the southwest, and the Hanzhou army is too busy, it will really be like Li Xin. That said, you can negotiate a good price.

   But not now.

  Li Xin sat under the pavilion, glanced at Li Shuo, and asked slowly, "How much can you control the Pingnan Army?"

  Li Shuo frowned slightly.

   "What do you mean by that, brother?"

Li Xin took a sip of tea, his face calm: "You are also a smart person, I don't need to say more about some reasons, no one will let a formed army beside his couch, so the Pingnan army under your command must be split. ."

   "I need to disperse them and incorporate them into the Hanzhou army. The 100,000 people who escaped from Jincheng can't live in the same city, but have to be scattered into various prefectures in the southwest."

  Li Shuo took a deep breath.

   "Brother, there are 50,000 troops in Hanzhou, and there are almost 50,000 in the Pingnan Army under my command. If you really fight, you may not be able to beat others. Brother, don't deceive people too much."

  Li Xin is half-smile but not smiling.

   "You have made up your mind to cooperate with the Hanzhou Army, otherwise you will not risk coming to the capital to see me."

  Li Shuo's face stiffened.

"As you said, the strength of the Pingnan Army is not much different from that of the Hanzhou Army. In a real fight, the Hanzhou Army may not be able to defeat the Pingnan Army, but you made up your mind so quickly, it must be in Zhao What did Jia see there?"

  Jing'an Houye's face was calm.

   "I guessed right?"

  Li Shuo let out a long breath.

   "Brother is brilliant."

The Marquis of Jing An continued with a smile and said: "You said just now that I should not go too far. Indeed, the conditions just now were a bit excessive, but when everyone comes out to negotiate the conditions, there must be a negotiation process. I speak lion, you can pay back the money. ."

   "Since we want to do things together, we can always negotiate a result."

Li Shuo sat opposite Li Xin, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "My brother just said that I want to incorporate my Pingnan Army into the Hanzhou Army, this little brother can accept it, but the general of my Pingnan Army must be in Han Dynasty. Leader of the state army."

   Li Xinxin glanced at Li Shuo admiringly.

   This kid is very knowledgeable, and he knows everything.

   He smiled and said, "There is no problem. You and Mu Ying can discuss it slowly."

Li Shuo took a deep breath and continued: "In this way, the Hanzhou army is quite large, and it is quite cumbersome to gather in one place. The Hanzhou army will be divided into two. General Mu will lead one army, and I will lead the other. military."

   Li Xin shook his head: "In this way, the Pingnan Army is not merged into the Hanzhou Army, but the Hanzhou Army is merged into the Pingnan Army. The counter-offer is not as much as you do."

  Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Then it will be divided into three parts, stationed in various parts of the southwest, and I will lead an army."

  The Marquis of Jing'an smiled gently: "Take it easy. Talking about the price is not a fight, it's better to talk with a friendly person."

  Li Shuo whispered to himself.

   This is not about price, but about dividing the future southwest!

   "I agree with this. When you go to the southwest, you can discuss the regulations with Zhao Jia slowly."

   Having said that, Li Xin looked at Li Shuo.

   "It's just your control over the Pingnan Army, to the point where you can only disperse into the Pingnan Army?"

  Li Shuo said solemnly, "I have been in the Pingnan Army since I was thirteen or fourteen years old. In recent years, I have been taking care of the Pingnan Army. My words work."

   Lord Jingan nodded with a smile.

   "Any other conditions, you can say it."

   Li Shuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Li Xin.

   "I want to ask your brother, what is your intention to run the Southwest like this?"

   "I don't run Southwest."

   Li Xin replied calmly: "If I have to say it, I can only say that I ran Hanzhou as a way for my future. I didn't expect the situation in the southwest to develop into what it is now."

  Li Shuo continued to ask, "What will happen to Southwest China in the future?"

This question is interesting, Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled: "Probably there will be a nominal king of Shu, and then you and Mu Ying and others are nominally the subjects of the king of Shu, but in fact Everyone has their own minds.”

   "Of course, this is just a speculation at the moment. World events are unpredictable. No one can imagine where the Southwest will go in the future."

   "What about you, brother?"

   "Me."

  Li Xin stood up from his chair, stretched his waist, and looked towards the capital.

   "My ambition is not in the southwest, and most likely I won't go to grab that one-third of an acre of land with you. I don't know what will happen in the future. I can only take a step by step."

   A smile appeared on Li Shuo's face: "Brother can actually come to the southwest and be a real king of Shu."

  Li Xin shook his head.

   "Then am I the second Li Shen?"

   Li Shuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Brother has a deep prejudice against the eldest father."

  Jing'an Hou Ye smiled "Haha".

   "Don't mention him."

After stretching, he walked towards the outside of the pavilion, folded his hands in his sleeves, and said lazily, "Since you are in my house, don't go out, or the people in the inner court will really arrest you. Go to torture and live in peace with me."

  Li Shuo also stood up and asked Li Xin's back, "Brother, when can I go back to the southwest?"

  Li Xin stopped and looked back at Li Shuo.

   "When I can leave the capital, I will take you to the southwest with you."

   Li Shuo said with a wry smile: "Then don't I have to live in the capital for the rest of my life?"

   Li Xin went further and further.

   "Wait, maybe I can leave Beijing in two days."

  …

   Great victory in Northern Xinjiang, Zhenbei Army defeated Yuwen Buddha Clan, one of the four major clans of Yuwen Clan, and captured the patriarch of the Buddha Clan and a group of nobles alive, and they are escorting them to the capital!

The news of    quickly spread throughout the capital under the intentional propaganda of the imperial court.

At this time, although Dajin has been unified for 40 years, the older generation is still afraid of the powerful Northern Zhou Dynasty. At this time, the remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the north were destroyed in one fell swoop, and the people of the capital were naturally very excited. , When the emperor list for retribution was posted on the streets and alleys of the capital, the Desheng Street that traversed the capital was full of joy from the street to the end of the street.

   Immediately someone started to organize dragon and lion dances, which was a bit more lively than the Chinese New Year.

  From Yonglefang to Datongfang, there are lanterns everywhere, as if another year has passed.

   In fact, it is a mere good news, and it may be necessary to celebrate, but there is absolutely no need to exaggerate.

The reason why    is so exaggerated is naturally for some purpose.

   Just when the capital was very lively, an imperial decree to seal Li Ji of the Chenghan clan as the king of Shu was sent out from the Weiyang Palace, held by the **** Xiao Huai in person, and sent to the Marquis of Jing'an.

  Compared with the lively scenes of celebrations in the capital, this imperial decree, which is actually a bigger matter, did not attract the attention of the court and the public.

In fact, this imperial decree, which can only be effective after passing through three provinces, was originally supposed to be passed by the Zaifu of Shangshutai who would rather offend the emperor and return to Weiyang Palace, and the civil servants of Yushitai would rather hit a pillar and kill a few people, but it was impossible to pass, but Under the wrist of Emperor Taikang, he passed so quietly!

  Everyone is celebrating the Great Victory in Northern Xinjiang. At this time of joy, no one dares to touch the emperor's brow.

   Therefore, this imperial decree was delivered lightly to Li Xin.

   Grand Marquis Li of Jing'an Hou's mansion held this imperial decree in his hand, and after looking at it a little, he threw it aside.

   He knew in his heart.

  The emperor is willing to let him out of the capital.
