There was a chess board in the Duke of Chen's mansion and Ye Sheng's small courtyard, and the master and apprentice sat opposite each other through the chessboard.

While moving, Li Xin roughly explained what happened in the past few days, including the death of Li Shen, the death of the deposed prince, and Li Xin promoted the Northern Expedition...

When talking about the first two things, the old man frowned slightly and was still making a move. When he heard Li Xin talk about the third thing, Ye Sheng held the right hand of the chess piece and hung it in the air without falling down.

He was in his seventies and it turned out that his two strong hands had shriveled and even had some old spots. However, these hands were still thin and powerful. The chess pieces in his hand did not fall gently, but hit the chessboard heavily.

Marquis Jing'an's face was quiet.

Old Man Ye looked up and looked at Li Xin lightly: "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"

Li Xin ignored this sentence and said with a smile: "Master Ye, your horse has left the word "field" and is not in accordance with the rules."

Ye Sheng was a little excited just now, but when he made a move, he was a little bit distorted.

The old man spitted and cursed: "Bad rules, don't make jokes here. I, Emperor Wu and the late emperor, have a peaceful situation now. Although the Pingnan Army in the southwest caused chaos, it was a small fuss after all, and it did not make too much climate."

"But if you start a war with Yuwen's tribes, it will be a national war. Not to mention how many people die, the capital accumulated by the emperors of the two dynasties will be thrown into this bottomless hole!"

The expedition to the southwest can actually be regarded as a national war, but Jincheng is there after all, and it is still motionless. No matter how fierce the two sides fight, they will soon decide a victory or defeat. However, the situation in the northern border and the southwest was very different. At that time, the Yuwen royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had disappeared, but the Yuwen tribes that split the Northern Zhou Dynasty had almost returned to their nomadic state after more than 30 years. It may not be difficult to defeat such nomadic people, but it is too difficult to conquer them.

This requires endless national strength to support it.

The Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty in Li Xin's world looked extremely powerful. He hung up the Huns for decades and defeated the eternal power of the Han Dynasty, but that was just the superficial power. In decades, Emperor Wu of Han had emptied the accumulation of recuperation and recuperation for several generations of the Western Han Dynasty, and beat the wealthy Han Dynasty to a lot of holes.

That is a matter of success and sin in the present.

The situation in the Great Jin Dynasty is actually similar to that in another world, the Western Han Dynasty. It is both a state of wealth and strong country, and it has spare strength to send troops. However, if it cannot fight quickly, it will be dragged into the quagmire and will not be able to escape for decades.

"It's just something on the books."

The old man groaned: "When Ye Ming comes back from the southwest, he will still have to go back to Jimen Pass. At that time, my two sons will go to the northern army in Jimen Pass. When the war comes, they will be the first to be affected."

"I have only two sons. If I die, can you compensate me?"

Faced with Ye Sheng's squirting, Li Xin wiped the saliva from his face without changing his face, looked up at the excited old man Ye, and smiled and said, "Master Ye, don't be excited. Even if this matter is settled, it will be a few years later. No one knows what will happen in a few years, but what will happen in the past few years can be expected."

Marquis Jing'an said lightly: "If Your Majesty is determined to fight the Northern Expedition, then in the past few years, whether it is the Zong family, the Ye family, or even the disciples, we generals will be valued. As for the Ye family... Senior Brother Ye is no longer promoted, but Senior Brother Xiao Ye will most likely rise to the top."

Ye Sheng glared at Li Xin.

"What about those years later?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "In a few years, if the court starts a big war, the generals will still be reused. As for how to fight and win, it will happen a few years later."

Speaking of this, Marquis Jing'an glanced at Old Man Ye and grinned, "I heard that when Master Ye was young, he was a man who was crazy about war. If he didn't go to fight for the battle for a day, he would be unhappy all day. Why is he old now and is afraid of his defeated generals in those days?"

"What do you know, you furious kid?"

Ye Sheng sat down angrily and glared at Li Xin.

"When you were born, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was gone. Of course, you have never heard of the greatness of the Northern Zhou cavalry. I was able to destroy the Northern Zhou Dynasty in one fell swoop because the Xianbei people enjoyed decades of blessings and lost their body bones to ride horses and shoot archers. Even so, it took me several years to break the Northern Zhou Dynasty for a lifetime. Now, the Yuwen tribes of the Northern Zhou Dynasty have scattered on the grassland again, riding horses and picking up bows and arrows. Although the overall strength is far less than that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is probably more difficult to deal with than the Northern Zhou court in real life."

"More importantly, this kind of thing is thankless."

Ye Sheng frowned and said, "Even if he can win against them, he may not be able to catch up with them. Millions of coins of silver are thrown in, and even a sound may not be heard."

Li Xin stood up, walked behind Ye Sheng and pinched the old man's shoulders, and smiled and said, "Master Ye, who said he can't get any benefits? The greatest benefit is to be able to expand territory for me, Great Jin."

Old Man Ye groaned: "You are using the heart of the emperor to consume the power of the people. If the Northern Expedition is not smooth or even defeated, this dynasty may not be able to do anything to you, but if you study history a hundred years later, you will be the number one traitor of the Taikang Dynasty of the Great Jin Dynasty!"

"Be a thief, be a thief."

Li Xin knocked on the shoulder to Old Man Ye and said with a smile: "Master Ye, my disciple has resigned from His Majesty. He will be unemployed at home in the next few years. Our two families are close to you. I often run to you. You can tell me more about the Yuwen tribes."

Ye Sheng was originally enjoying the massage from the closed disciples. Hearing this, he sat up from the recliner and looked back at Li Xin.

"Do you really want to attack the north?"

Li Xin shook his head and said, "There are countless good generals in the Great Jin Dynasty. This matter may not fall on the disciples in the end. However, since this matter was brought up by the disciples, the disciples must always understand the enemy. Otherwise, a few years later, when His Majesty asks about the strategy, the disciples don't know it. It doesn't matter if they lose their face, but they are afraid they lose your face."

"Say less these words to coax me."

Ye Sheng glanced at Li Xin and said lightly: "Since you have recognized you, please ask, and I will tell you what I know. Since you have been unemployed in the past few years, then keep a low profile..."

Speaking of this, the old man was silent for a while and slowly spoke: "But you do different things from ordinary people. All the things that happened to you are thrilling, but you have all walked along the way."

"Although the Northern Expedition is difficult, you might be able to do it."

"If you do it, you will be considered fulfilling my unfulfilled wish."

When Ye Sheng expelled the remnants of Northern Zhou and fought to the vicinity of Jimen Pass. Although Ye Sheng's troops were exhausted at that time, they still had the strength to pursue them. However, the court meant that it was over.

It’s not that Emperor Wu was timid at that time. In fact, Emperor Wu was a ruthless man who had not been released for hundreds of years, otherwise he would not have dared to go to war with Northern Zhou and Southern Shu at the same time.

The reason why I stopped fighting was that the Dajin at that time was really unable to hold on.

Later, Ye Sheng was recalled to the capital and had not left Beijing for decades.

Therefore, the Yuwen tribes scattered in the north are also considered to be an old man Ye’s worries.

Li Xin lowered his head with a smile.
