Chapter 504: Brother General?
"It's Senior Brother Ye who is anxious, I'm not in a hurry at all."
Li Xin sat on the dark cloud's younger brother Mo Qiong and turned around and said slowly: "I guess this southwest war will be fought for three or five years, but I don't know who it was, so I gave Senior Brother Ye such an idea to end the southwest war within one or two years. Senior Brother Ye is the main general, and I can't refute whatever he says."
Ye Ming was the chief marching manager of this trip. He seemed to have a lot of discussion with Li Xin along the way. In fact, this was all for Li Xin to give Li Xin face. Ye Shaobao could completely force Li Xin to order Li Xin and give him no room for rejection.
Face is mutual.
Ye Ming gave Li Xin face, and Li Xin naturally wanted to give him face too.
Zhao Jia lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Marquis, where can I go on this mountain road?"
"Jiangyou."
Li Xin said in a deep voice: "After walking through the Yinping Ancient Road, we have to conquer Jiangyou Pass and then break through Mianzhu to have the opportunity to reach the foot of Jincheng City. However, Li Shen should still have defenders in Jincheng. Even if we reach the foot of Jincheng City, we may not be able to fight in."
Zhao Jia frowned even deeper.
"Since the Marquis knows this, why do you still agree to this method?"
Li Xin turned around, looked at Zhao Jia seriously, then took a deep breath, and asked, "Brother You'an, I want to ask you a question."
"Master, please ask."
"Is Brother You'an trustworthy?"
Li Xin asked this very seriously.
In fact, this dog-headed military advisor from Duke Chen's mansion has been with Li Xin for a while, but because everyone is smart and there is no trust among smart people, Li Xin has never been able to trust him in all.
And this time, Li Xin said the words in his heart straight to the point.
Zhao Jia had a serious face. He stood up straight and bowed deeply to Li Xin.
"Mr. Zhao Jia's wife and young people already live in the Marquis' Mansion of Jing'an. Zhao Jia has no reason to betray the Marquis."
Li Xin shook his head and said, "Brother You'an is wrong. My sister-in-law and two nephews live in my marquis's mansion. It's not a proton trick to make Brother You'an have no worries. If Brother You'an understands this way, he will be too small for Li Xin."
Zhao Jia smiled bitterly: "I have never thought so before. I was just a disciple of Duke Chen's mansion. How could I use the word "proton"? It is rare to be appreciated by the Marquis. I promised Zhao Jia a future. Zhao Jia will never betray the Marquis in this life."
Li Xin smiled.
"Since that's the case, I believe in Brother You'an."
Sometimes the dialogue between smart people is naturally twisted and turns, but sometimes it is straightforward and the effect is better. Now Li Xin and Zhao Jia are open and honest, and they have more trust in each other.
This is not a childish expression.
The reason why I have this layer of trust is that Li Xin has been in contact with Zhao Jia for a long time. It is based on the mutual understanding during this period that the conversation just now has been created.
Li Xin took a deep breath and lowered his eyebrows and said, "Brother You'an has always been very curious, curious about what I want to do in the southwest."
"There are more than 100,000 households in southern Xinjiang. These people are still loyal to the royal family of the old Southern Shu. They can withdraw 50,000 combat power and do not need food and grass to support them."
"I have put in a lot of effort before to control these 50,000 people. Now Brother You'an also knows that although these 50,000 people are not absolutely in my hands, they still need to be controlled remotely through the Mu family, but at least it is useful."
Li Xin glanced at Zhao Jia deeply and said slowly.
"After we crossed the Yinping Ancient Road, Senior Brother Ye's men should have arrived at Jiange. At that time, the main force in the southwest will be involved in Jiange. At that time, as long as we crossed Jiangyou Pass and let the remnants of Southern Shu attack Mianzhu from front to back, we can form a siege against Jincheng."
The eyes of Marquis Jing'an were shining.
"At that time, we had a great chance to occupy Jincheng!"
Having said that, even Li Xin's voice trembled slightly.
This is a huge plan, and he has not told anyone about it before.
After taking down Jincheng, not only can Li Xin take revenge and completely destroy the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion, but he can also make contributions to the sky. More importantly, his rebel army can also grow up quickly in this operation.
Zhao Jia slowly followed Li Xin on a horse. The military advisor who likes to wear white clothes looked at Li Xin for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Marquis... is far-sighted."
"I can't do it."
"It's not that I'm far-sighted."
Li Xin shook his head slowly and said, "The current situation is certainly because of the reason why I started to arrange it a few years ago, but a few years ago, I could not have thought that it was the situation now. I can only say that it was a coincidence that the things I arranged at the time are now in handy."
At the beginning, Li Xin contacted the Mu family just to cause some trouble for Li Shen in the southwest, or to get rough news from the southwest through the Mu family. But two years later, the Mu family has become one of the most powerful forces in the southwest that can influence the situation.
Along the way, Zhao Jia was silent for a long time. When the sun was about to set up a camp and Li Xin's troops began to set up camp, the young military advisor walked in the military camp with Li Xin and lowered his eyebrows: "Marquis, if the remnants of Southern Shu are unwilling to join forces with the Marquis of Pingnan, then the Marquis of Pingnan will inevitably divide some troops to watch them, and even take the initiative first. The Marquis of the Marquis must be concerned about this."
"I've thought about it."
Li Xin whispered: "Li Shen sent at most 10,000 people to look at Hanzhou Prefecture. The stall in the southwest is too big. No matter how many others are, it will not be enough. These 10,000 people will not play a key role. We can do whatever we should do."
Li Xin said, walked into his tent with a short body, took out a southwest geometric map from his surname Li, and pointed at the position of the spine with his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Brother You'an, look, my army needs to enter the mountain from here, then cross the Motianling Ridge and other natural dangers, and finally go to Yinping and arrive at Jiangyou Pass."
"There are many difficulties and obstacles along the way, and many people are destined to die. Brother You'an is thin, so you must be careful at that time and don't lose it."
Zhao Jia smiled awkwardly.
"A few days ago, I was standing in the boxing stance with the Marquis in Jingzhou Prefecture, and I felt that my body had improved a lot."
Li Xin shook his head.
"Brother You'an, you are too old to practice boxing..."
Marquis Jing'an was about to continue speaking, a messenger ran in, half-kneeled on the ground, lowered his head and said, "General Li, Captain Ye is back."
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Ye Mao, who was the commander of Zhechong under him, then waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Let him come here."
"yes."
After a while, Ye Mao, wearing armor, walked in with a bloody smell and saluted Li Xin respectfully.
"The last general has met General Li."
When Ye Mao was doing things seriously in the army, he refused to call him Uncle Li Xin, and he was called public office.
Li Xin looked at him up and down, and his face calmed down: "Why, have you killed a lot of people?"
"General Li is wise, there are at least sixty or seventy people following us. The last one will lead people to clean up along the way and kill more than thirty people, but twenty or thirty people ran away for them."
At this time, Ye Mao's answer was very neat, with the sharp smell of a general's disciple.
This surprised Li Xin a little.
