If it were half a year ago, Li Xin might not have the confidence to say this.

But he has it now.

This confidence does not come from the more than 40,000 imperial guards in Fu County, but from the nearly 50,000 combat power of Southern Shu led by Mu Ying.

It has been half a year since Mu Ying was driven back by Li Xin. Not to mention whether these 50,000 remnants of Southern Shu can still be fought, but the two hundred orphans of Yulin brought by Mu Ying have gradually become the backbone of these 50,000 people. Especially with the benefit of Li Xin, Mu Ying has basically become the person in fact. Mu Qing, the head of the Mu family, tacitly gave up most of the power of the Mu family and handed over to the eldest son.

Today, the Mu family still occupy a lot of these 50,000 troops, but the collective will is gradually becoming Mu Ying's will.

And Mu Ying is the continuation of Li Xin's will.

No matter how powerful the imperial guards of the imperial court were, they were just a master. Without more than ten or twenty years, these people were not well-equipped.

Even if he was like the general Pei Jin and Pei Sanlang, who had been leading the imperial guards for more than ten years, when Pei Jin was promoted and brought out of the imperial guards in secret, the people in the imperial guards did not even dare to let go of anything.

Therefore, although Li Xin still regarded these imperial guards as his brothers and now he seriously regards them as his own people, he never regards them as his own team. He knew very well that the number of people under Mu Ying, the Hanzhou City, was the real good knife to attack.

The Imperial Guard is also a knife, but it is not Li Xin's own knife. He was holding the knife for the man sitting on the dragon throne.

It was precisely because of the 50,000 "rebels" in Southern Shu that were held by Li Xin that he had the confidence to say what he had just said.

Pingnan Hou described it very correctly. Li Xin is now like a fat fat man, looking huge and wealthy, but all this is because Emperor Taikang is supporting him behind him. One day Emperor Taikang is unwilling to support Li Xin, and even stabbed Li Xin in the back, the fat fat man will instantly disappear like a balloon with leaks.

Li Xin was also very clear about this situation. He understood that his foundation was too shallow and he was "fat", but he was not very brave enough to make changes, and even dared not "exercise", because Li Xin knew very well that after Emperor Chengde, no matter who was from the Ji family sat in this position, the second Pingnan Marquis Mansion, or the second Duke Chen Mansion, would not be allowed to appear.

Li Xin could only continue to be "fat" and be helped by Emperor Taikang forever, so that Emperor Taikang would be relieved.

Therefore, in order to get rid of this situation, Li Xin chose to set up another root in the southwest. Now this root has begun to take root and sprout. After it grows vigorously, it can become the skeleton of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, making Li Xin no longer a "fat man who is unstable."

It is also because of this root that Li Xin flatly rejected Li Shen's suggestions.

There is no need for him to make the Jing'an Marquis Mansion the second Pingnan Marquis Mansion. The facts have proved that the model of Ping'an Marquis Mansion is not how long it lasts.

Moreover, due to personal emotional factors, Li Xin is not very willing to play with Pingnan Hou Mansion and depend on each other.

After hearing Li Xin's answer, General Zhu Guo was not surprised.

"You don't have to rush to answer me about this, you can think about it clearly."

Li Shen tied the reins with his hand and said slowly: "Calculate the time. In about seven or eight days, I will lead troops to attack Fu County. At that time, it will be not too late for the Marquis of Jing'an to give me another reply. If the Marquis of Jing'an did not agree at that time, my Pingnan army would attack the city with all its might. If the Marquis of Jing'an agreed, I can hand it over to you as a garrison, not only Fucheng, but also Mianzhu."

As he said that, Li Shen turned his horse's head and took a deep breath.

"You have never seen my father, but you should be very familiar with Duke Ye. I have not admired many people in my life. Duke Ye is one of them. He is still trapped in the capital and cannot move. For thirty years, he can only drink and grow flowers at home. How can you be more skilled than Duke Ye?"

"If you want to raise grass and flowers in your prince's mansion for the rest of your life, then you can pretend that I have not said these words."

After saying these last two sentences, Li Shenyang left.

Behind him, nearly a thousand cavalry followed closely, and a burst of smoke and dust rose.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shen's direction away, sneering: "I guess I'm so panicked in my heart. I have to pretend to see through everything. Are you tired?"

Li Shen, who had already gone away, had no way to answer his question.

The Marquis of Jing'an also turned his horse's head and smiled at the guards behind him, saying, "Brothers, I have already asked someone to collect the wine and meat in the city. We have worked hard to attack the city these days. Let's have a tooth sacrifice tonight, how about it?"

Everyone immediately cheered and surrounded Li Xin and entered the Fu County County Town.

"General Li is wise!"

...

Fu County is not very big. The entire city is only 50,000 or 60,000 people. Li Xin's imperial guards flocked in, almost half of the people in the city. Therefore, even if the wine and meat in the city were gathered together, it was not enough for these imperial guards to open their stomachs to eat. In the end, the Marquis Li spent money and asked his subordinates to collect a lot of pigs in the nearby village. Only then did everyone in the imperial guards eat a bite of meat.

As the "boss", Li Xin naturally had a good time with the people. After drinking with his subordinates for a night, Li Xin carried two hooves and half a jar of wine to a private house where they lived.

Marquis Jing'an was always holding his hooves and holding wine in his other hand. He had no time to do so, so he simply kicked open the door with his feet.

On the hospital bed in the room, a strong young man with a slightly pale complexion was lying.

It was Ye Mao who was injured during the battle of the Fu County. At this time, this young master who was usually like a calf, not only was he cut a hole in his shoulder by a crossbow arrow, but he was also injured many times under his ribs and back.

Li Xin put his hooves and wine on the table with expressionless face.

The young master lying on the bed immediately smiled happily.

"It's still uncle who is nice to me, and he didn't forget to think about me even after dinner."

Li Xin grabbed a hoof with one hand and chewed it expressionlessly in front of Ye Mao.

"It's not for you to eat."

General Li said while gnawing: "You have suffered external injuries, eating these will easily cause inflammation."

“……….”

Although I don’t quite understand what inflammation means, Li Xin’s words made the young master speechless.

"It's not for me to eat, why are you bringing it here for?"

He almost gritted his teeth.

"Cook it over and let you watch me eat."

Li Xin took a few sips, then picked up the wine and took a sip.

The aroma of the wine spread quickly, and the smell was so familiar to Ye Mao.

He looked at the wine jar in Li Xin's hand steadily.

"This is Zhurong wine that is used to remove external poisons in the army. Uncle Master, you actually drink it secretly!"

Zhurong wine brewing rights have been taken back by Emperor Taikang, but the rules that Li Xinding had never changed at the beginning, that is, Zhurong wine has the best quality supply to the army and is used as disinfection.

These wines are all good wines.

Ye Mao ignored the wound on his body and screamed: "Uncle Master, give me a mouthful!"

"You have injuries on your body and can't drink it."

Li Xin calmly and resolutely rejected the young master's request. He chewed his feet and then turned his head to stare at Ye Mao.

"Does it feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Mao swallowed and nodded honestly.

“It’s uncomfortable.”

"That's right."

Marquis Jing'an raised his head and drank a sip of wine, turned around and looked at Ye Mao quietly.

"You listen."

"Next time if you don't obey the command and rush forward without authorization, I will send you back to your father immediately."

Mr. Li's mouth was full of oil, but he ignored his image and spoke while chewing.

"Your father and grandfather once asked me to take care of you in the southwest."

"So anyone can die, but you can't die. If you die, Senior Brother Ye and Master Ye will not be able to explain."

"I understand."

The young master stared at Li Xin's hooves, swallowed, and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Master, I will listen to you whatever you say. Do you want me to make a sip? Just sip..."

Marquis Jing'an gave him a blank look.
