To be honest, there is no problem for Li Xin to go north. As the emperor said, he has no separation from the Ye family. As long as he brings Ye Mao with him, relying on his relationship with the Ye family and the people who have accumulated over the years, it is actually very easy to master the Zhenbei Army of Jimen Pass in a short time.

The question is what Li Xin should do after he arrives in the north.

If we count the time, the north should be about to fight, and it has even started fighting. By the time Li Xin went to the north, it would take at least one or two months. At that time, the first collision between the Yunzhou army and the Yuwen tribes was probably over.

At this moment, Li Xin set out to the north and had to understand his position.

To put it simply, the emperor's intention was very obvious, and he wanted to lead the Zhenbei Army to fight with Yuwen's troops.

He led the Zhenbei Army to fight to the death with the Yuwen tribe. Even if he defeated the Yuwen tribe, the Zhenbei Army itself would probably be disabled. At that time, not only would the court solve the problem of the Zhenbei Army, but his relationship with the Ye family would most likely be greatly reduced because of this matter.

This is the premise for Li Xin to leave to the north.

That's why he had to figure out what he wanted to do and what he should do after he arrived in the north before leaving.

In the evening of that day, the servants of the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion made a small table of wine and food. Li Xin and Zhao Jia were still sitting under the pavilion in the backyard and talking. The weather was hot now, and mosquitoes were everywhere. Some mosquito repellent spices were ordered under the pavilion. The cool breeze blew, which was quite comfortable.

While eating, Li Xin told Zhao Jia about the general situation. Zhao Youan listened carefully, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Marquis... Your Majesty means that if you ask you to take over the Zhenbei Army for the time being, you should just do it..."

Marquis Jing'an said without hesitation: "Of course we will take over temporarily."

"I want to sit in that position and not move. Not to mention how the soldiers of Zhenbei Army think, within five years, the Ye family will become enemies with me."

"Even if Master Ye has a spirit in heaven, he will blame me for being unkind."

Zhao Youan was silent for a while and didn't say anything.

Li Xin smiled faintly and said, "I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, even the emperor can't hold me in that position and not move. I don't want to do it anymore, so I just complained to the court and returned to Beijing to recuperate."

Zhao Jia nodded and let out a few breaths.

"If the court's intention is not to provoke conflicts between the Marquis and the Ye family, then it is probably to let the Marquis preside over this northern expedition."

He said slowly: "The Marquis mentioned the Northern Expedition with me before. I thought about this matter privately. At that time, I thought that Yunzhou City should take the lead and General Ye would attack him. Unexpectedly, things suddenly turned out like this now."

Li Xin spoke silently.

"If Master Ye hadn't been gone, things should be similar to what you guessed."

He picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine, and said, "I am not thinking about why I went to Zhenbei Army. I should consider what I should do after I went to the north."

Zhao Youan answered this question without hesitation.

"Of course, I helped the court and wiped out the Yuwen tribes."

"The Marquis had already said that His Majesty had been thinking about this for five years. Since His Majesty asked the Marquis to do this, the Marquis naturally had to do it well."

Li Xin didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhao Jia lightly.

Zhao Youan said in a deep voice: "Of course, the combat power of the Yuwen tribes cannot be underestimated, and it is impossible to destroy it just by saying it."

"The Marquis might as well take office first. After taking over the Zhenbei Army at Jimen Pass, take a look at the situation of Yuwen's troops. If you can fight, the Marquis will make the contribution. If it doesn't work, then the Marquis will drag it down."

"After you arrive in the north, the marquis can act according to your own wishes. Whether to fight or not is all within the marquis' thoughts..."

"Even if you can't fight for a long time, it's not that the Zhenbei Army is incompetent, but that the Yuwen tribes are too powerful."

Li Xin took a sip of wine and looked at Zhao Jia with a smile.

"If I also fought in the north for twenty or thirty years, wouldn't I become another Pingnan Marquis Mansion?"

Zhao Youan also laughed.

"There is a big difference between this. Pingnan Hou Mansion has Pingnan Army, but Zhenbei Army is not the direct line of the Marquis, but the direct line of the Ye family, and has nothing to do with the Marquis."

Marquis Jing'an raised his head and drank a sip of wine, without saying much.

…………

Because General Ye Ming was going to return to his hometown, the Zhenbei Army urgently needed someone to take over. The imperial edict given to Li Xin quickly completed the process and sent it to the Marquis of Jing'an.

The person who came to announce the imperial edict was Xiao Zheng, the head of the inner court. Eunuch Xiao held the imperial edict and bowed his eyebrows to the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion. After reading the imperial edict, he bent over and handed the imperial edict to Li Xin.

"I congratulate Mr. Li on taking over the Northern Army."

His expression was flattering.

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Xin smiled self-deprecatingly: "I was originally enjoying my happiness in the prosperous world of the capital, but now I have to go to the bitter and cold place in the north to guard the border. This is clearly exile, so what is there to be congratulations?"

Xiao Zheng bent down and said, "When the Marquis gets this opportunity, he will surely make another great contribution. In the future, he can surpass his superiors and become an important official who will shine through the ages."

"It's still the father-in-law who can talk."

Marquis Jing'an sighed slightly and said, "This time I go north is full of difficulties. I just want to avoid being dismissed from office and taking away the title. As for whether to make a contribution or not, I dare not think about it."

Xiao Zheng quickly bent over and said, "The Marquis is too modest."

"I still have some things in the palace, so I won't disturb the marquis and say goodbye now."

The Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "I'll give it to my father-in-law?"

"I dare not, I dare not."

Xiao Zheng waved his hands repeatedly and left as if he was running away.

The Marquis Jing'an held the imperial edict in one hand and looked at Xiao Zheng's direction away expressionlessly.

Because it was an imperial edict, the family naturally wanted to come out to greet him. The eldest princess was next to Li Xin at this moment. She pulled her husband's sleeve and sighed a long time.

"Why are you going out of Beijing again? When you came back from the southwest five years ago, didn't Your Majesty say that you wouldn't let you go out of Beijing again?"

Li Xin smiled and touched the princess' head, and smiled and said, "How can I believe the emperor's words?"

The eldest princess was startled by his words and waved her hand and said, "What are you talking nonsense? Let's hear it from outsiders. I'll take you to Dali Temple to ask for guilt..."

"Aren't there no outsiders here?"

Li Xin reached out and hugged the eldest princess' waist, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the inner room to talk."

The Ninth Princess's face was a little red. She pinched Li Xin's arm and said embarrassedly: "What are you doing... It's broad daylight."

"You can't speak in broad daylight?"

Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "Who set this rule?"

The eldest princess had no choice but to be carried to the backyard by Li Xin. When she was halfway through, she looked up at her husband and whispered with some concern: "How long will you go this time?"

After hearing this, Li Xin paused and sighed slightly.
