The southwest knew about the division of the Western Expedition Army. After all, they sent people to follow Li Xin. Although these people were cleaned up by Ye Mao, at least Li Shen knew that some of the Western Expedition Army had disappeared.

And the itinerary is very hidden.

Although Li Shen didn't know that this part of the Western Expedition was led by Li Xin, now he saw that Li Xin was missing by Ye Ming, and he began to doubt it.

If you want to talk about the entire capital, Li Xin is one of the people he is more afraid of. After all, this young man who was originally in the mud and dust climbed to his current position in less than two years, and brought great trouble to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

Li Shen was forced to this road, and Jing'an Hou made an indelible contribution.

Ye Ming smiled.

"He is still in the central army in Chang'an. This time I met Jinchen, so he didn't want to come."

Speaking of this, Ye Ming hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chang'an was accepted as a disciple by his father, which is also inseparable from my Ye family. However, Brother Yu has never quite understood Chang'an's life experience."

He looked up at Li Shen and said silently: "I heard from my father that he is the son of Jin Chen."

Li Shen was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"He doesn't recognize me, and I don't recognize him, even if he can't be a father or son."

This sounds like a denial, but it is actually a disguised admission.

Ye Shaobao said enviously: "Your son is amazing."

It is the summer of the second year of Taikang. In the winter of the 17th year of Chengde, Li Xin was still a small person who almost froze to death. However, in just over two years, Li Changan can now control the situation to a certain extent.

He is only twenty years old and has a good relationship with the emperor. He has a very positive future.

Ye Ming stroked his hands and said, "If I had such a son, even if I closed my eyes now, I would be relieved."

Whether it was Ye Sheng or Ye Ming, they were a little worried about the young master Ye Mao, worried that he would not be able to inherit the Ye family's family business in the future. Because of this reason, the huge Ye family was willing to share the same kindness with Li Xin.

"If you don't recognize each other, it doesn't matter."

Ye Ming smiled.

"I couldn't figure out why you dare to bet so hard. Now I figured it out. With Li Xin here, no matter how you win or lose, you will always have blood."

The Ye Shaobao looked at Li Shen deeply, and then said with some emotion: "Three generations of you, the Marquis of Pingnan, are all outstanding people. It's a pity that the third generation came to Li Chang'an, not your eldest son, Li Chun."

"Otherwise, the Pingnan Marquis' Mansion can prosper for at least another thirty years."

Li Shen felt the same way, nodded and said, "I tried to save it, but it was useless."

"My junior brother is arrogant."

Ye Ming showed a smile on his face.

"In this world, he is the only one who looks down on the family of your Pingnan Marquis Mansion. He wants to start a new foundation by himself, but he just made it for him."

If the power under the world is compared to mountains, the highest is naturally the Ji family of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, and the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in the southwest is the undisputed second.

Indeed, in terms of status among the generals of the Jin Dynasty, both the Zhong family and the Ye family must surpass the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. However, these two families are vassals of the Ji family. Not only do they have no independent "administrative power", they even do not have independent military power. In terms of size, they are far inferior to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

Although the mountain in Pingnan Hou Mansion is not high, it is an independent mountain.

If anyone in this era was placed in Li Xin's position, even if he suffered a great grievance, after knowing how tall the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was, 90% of people would choose to return to this Marquis Mansion to admit defeat as their son, and another 100 people with a little backbone would choose to escape far away and would never dare to enter the capital in their lives.

As Ye Ming said, in the world, Li Xin is the only one who will say no to Li Shen, the father of Pingnan Marquis.

This is not arrogance, but Li Xin realized that he was a time traveler, so he had the confidence to start his own business.

However, the process of establishing a business was not as smooth as Li Xin thought at the beginning. In just over two years, he had experienced at least twice between life and death alone. In addition, he met many noble people and stepped on the trend, so he could have reached today so smoothly.

This is a completely unknown world, and his advantage as a time traveler is far less than he had imagined before.

Li Shen was silent for a while, then said, "Brother Shi called me here with great fanfare to say this?"

Ye Shaobao smiled slightly: "It was Li Chang'an mentioned first by the Marquis, not me."

Li Shen's face was a little unfair.

"I just asked him where he went, but Brother Ye Shi talked about so many things."

"Of course I will make you feel uncomfortable."

Ye Ming said bluntly: "If nothing unexpected happens, you and I will soon find out on the battlefield. This will make the Marquis angry. Maybe the Western Expedition will be smoother."

On the battlefield, some subtle factors can determine many things, such as the mentality of a leader, which may determine the outcome of a war.

Li Shen stood up silently from his seat.

"If Brother Ye Shi is nothing else, I'll spend less time with you."

Ye Ming's smile was restrained.

"Jin Chen, do you really want to look back?"

Li Shen didn't look back either.

"There is still a glimmer of life if you don't look back. If you look back, you will die a few years later. Let Brother Shi choose. How will Brother Shi choose?"

Ye Ming sighed silently.

"During the Chengde Dynasty, you had a lot of opportunities to turn back."

"Brother Shi thought I didn't want to?"

Li Shen stopped and looked back at Ye Ming.

"If you want your Ye family to exchange for the family's family with the old subordinates' family, you, Ye Shaobao, will you not change it?"

Ye Ming didn't say anything.

Ye Sheng chose to give up his military power at the beginning, but the Ye family was not as tragic as Li Shen said. Not many of Ye Sheng's old subordinates were killed, but they were scattered among the various yamen by Emperor Wu and were somewhat suppressed.

The most typical example is Li Xin's teacher, the Yulin Guard Captain Wang Zhong. He was one of the powerful generals under Ye Sheng's command back then. After returning to the capital, he was not promoted step by step. He was just transferred from a school captain under Ye Sheng to a school captain of the Yulin Guard, and he had not been promoted for more than 30 years.

There are naturally some reasons for Wang Zhong himself, but the root cause is that he is from the Duke Chen Mansion.

Although the Ye family received "preferential treatment", Ye Ming did not dare to say that the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was given preferential treatment. Even Ye Sheng and Old Man Ye himself said that a large part of the reason why the Ye family could survive in the capital was because the Pingnan Marquis Mansion had cedeed the land and respected it.

Although it is impossible to slander Emperor Wu with speculation, if both Ye Li chose to hand over power and return to Beijing, there would be something wrong between them.

At least, the two of them will die with the Emperor Wu who unified the world!

Instead of just like Old Man Ye now, he endured another Emperor Chengde to death.

Ye Ming also knew in his heart that if Li Shen surrendered with Emperor Chengde, the Marquis of Pingnan might be safe, but these generals of the Pingnan Army in the southern border would almost never have any good ending.

So he did not refute Li Shen.

The Ye Shaobao was silent for a while and said, "Does Jin Chen want to fight with me in Hanzhong to fight the Western Army?"

Li Shen went further and further away, without replying.

Ye Ming whispered to his back.
