The Hanzhou Army was far from being able to control the southwest by only 50,000 Hanzhou Army. After all, not to mention the southwest, there are more than a dozen prefectures in Shu County alone. There are dozens of prefectures in the entire southwest. With only 50,000 Hanzhou Army, they can only defend a few cities. If hundreds of thousands of imperial guards of the imperial court really come over, the Hanzhou Army will basically be difficult to resist.

Even if there is thunder, he can only defend the city. He was surrounded for a year or two, and he would starve to death if he didn't beat him to death.

Therefore, the Hanzhou Army was not enough. If Li Shuo could wait patiently for a few months, or one or two years, and when the court saw the flaws in the southwest and the Hanzhou Army was too busy, it would be really as Li Xin said, and he could negotiate a good price.

But it doesn't work now.

Li Xin sat under the pavilion, looked at Li Shuo, and asked slowly: "How much can you control the Pingnan Army?"

Li Shuo frowned slightly.

"What does this sentence mean by brother?"

Li Xin picked up the tea and took a sip, his face calm: "You are a smart person, and there are some truths I don't need to say more. No one will let you have a formed army beside your bed, so your Pingnan Army must be split."

"I need to break them up and join the Hanzhou army. The 100,000 people who escaped from Jincheng could not live in the same city, but would scatter into the southwest prefectures."

Li Shuo took a deep breath.

"Brother, there are 50,000 Hanzhou Army, and my Pingnan Army still has about 50,000 people. If you really fight, you may not be able to beat anyone. Brother, don't bully people too much."

Li Xin smiled and said, "You have made up your mind to cooperate with the Hanzhou Army, otherwise you will not risk coming to the capital to see me."

Li Shuo's face froze.

Marquis Jing'an said with a smile: "As you said, the Pingnan Army's strength is not much different from that of the Hanzhou Army. If you really fight, the Hanzhou Army may not be able to defeat the Pingnan Army, but you made up your mind so quickly that you must have seen something in Zhao Jia."

"I'm not guessing wrong?"

Li Shuo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother is smart."

Marquis Jing'an continued to smile and said, "You said just now that I don't want to be too much. Indeed, the conditions just now were a bit too much, but when we come to negotiate the conditions, there must be a process of negotiation. I, the lion, speak up, you can pay back the money."

"Since we have to do things together, we can always negotiate a result."

Li Shuo sat opposite Li Xin, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said, "Brother said just now that I want to incorporate my Pingnan Army into the Hanzhou Army. This little brother is acceptable, but the generals of my Pingnan Army must lead troops in the Hanzhou Army."

Li Xinyong glanced at Li Shuo with admiration.

This kid is very good at it and can understand it at a glance.

He smiled and said, "There is no problem. You and Mu Ying can discuss it slowly at that time."

Li Shuo took a deep breath and continued, "In this way, the Hanzhou army will be quite large, and they are all gathered in one place. The Hanzhou army will be divided into two. General Mu leads one army, and I will lead one army."

Li Xin shook his head: "This is not the Pingnan Army merged into the Hanzhou Army, but the Hanzhou Army merged into the Pingnan Army. The bargaining price is not as good as you."

Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "Then it will be divided into three places, stationed in various parts of the southwest, and I will lead a single army."

Marquis Jing'an smiled and said, "Let's relax, it's not a fight to talk about prices, it's easier to talk about with kindness."

Li Shuo said to himself in his heart.

This is not about the price, but about dividing the future southwest!

"I agree with this. When you go to the southwest, you can slowly discuss the constitution with Zhao Jia."

Speaking of this, Li Xin looked at Li Shuo.

"It's just that your control over the Pingnan Army has not reached the point where they can only scatter into the Pingnan Army?"

Li Shuo said in a deep voice: "I was hang out in the Pingnan Army at the age of thirteen or fourteen. In recent years, I have been taking care of the Pingnan Army, and my words work."

Marquis Jing'an nodded with a smile.

"You can tell me what conditions there are."

Li Shuo lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up at Li Xin.

"I would like to ask my brother, what is his intention to manage the southwest like this?"

“I don’t manage the Southwest.”

Li Xin answered very calmly: "What I have to say is that I have managed Hanzhou as a way out for my future. I didn't expect the situation in the southwest to develop into what it is now."

Li Shuo continued to ask: "What will happen to the Southwest in the future?"

This question was interesting. Li Xin lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "There will probably be a nominal King of Shu, and then you, Mu Ying and others, are nominally considered the subjects of this King of Shu, and they actually have their own thoughts."

"Of course, this is just a speculation at present. Things are unpredictable. No one would have expected what the southwest will reach in the future."

"Where are you, brother?"

"It's me."

Li Xin stood up from the chair, stretched his waist, and then looked towards the direction of the capital.

"I am not in the southwest, so I probably won't go to compete with you for that acre of three-point land. I don't know what the future will be like, so I can only take one step at a time."

Li Shuo smiled on his face: "Brother can actually come to the southwest and be a real King of Shu."

Li Xin shook his head.

"Then won't I become the second Li Shen?"

Li Shuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Brother has too much prejudice against his eldest father."

Marquis Jing'an smiled "hehe".

"Don't mention him."

After stretching, he walked out of the pavilion, put his hands in his sleeves, and said lazily: "Since you have arrived at my house, don't go out, otherwise the people from the inner court will really arrest you and torture you and live with peace of mind."

Li Shuo also stood up and asked Li Xin's back, "Brother, when will I go back to the southwest?"

Li Xin stopped and looked back at Li Shuo.

"When I can leave the capital, I will take you to the southwest."

Li Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "Then won't I live in the capital for the rest of my life?"

Li Xin went further and further.

"Let's wait, maybe I can leave Beijing in the next two days."

………… Mobile::

In the great victory in the northern border, the Zhenbei Army defeated the Yuwen Futu tribe, one of the four major tribes of the Yuwen tribe, and captured the patriarch of the Futu tribe and a group of nobles alive and were escorted to the capital!

This news quickly spread throughout the capital under the intentional publicity of the court.

At this time, although the Great Jin Dynasty had been unified for forty years, the older generation was still afraid of the powerful Northern Zhou Dynasty. At this time, the remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty were destroyed in one fell swoop. The people of the capital were naturally excited. When the imperial list of rewarding merit was in the streets and alleys of the capital, the Desheng Street that crossed the capital city was full of joy from the street to the end of the street.

Immediately someone started organizing dragon and lion dances, which was a little more lively than the New Year.

From Yonglefang to Datongfang, there are lights and colors everywhere, just like another New Year has passed.

In fact, it may be necessary to celebrate a good news, but there is absolutely no need to be so exaggerated.

The reason why it is so exaggerated is naturally for some purpose.

Just when the capital was very lively, an imperial edict that was granted the Han royal family Li Ji as the King of Shu was sent out from Weiyang Palace, and was personally carried by the eunuch Xiao Huai and sent to the Marquis' Mansion of Jing'an.

Compared with the lively scenes of celebrating the achievements in the capital, this imperial decree, which was actually more important, basically did not attract the attention of the court and the public.

In fact, this imperial edict that only needs to be effective through three provinces should have been effectively passed by the prime ministers of the Shangshutai, who would rather offend the emperor and return to Weiyang Palace, and the civil servants of the Censorate would rather hit a pillar and kill a few people than pass, but under the wrist of Emperor Taikang, they passed quietly!

Everyone is celebrating the victory of the Northern Xinjiang. When you are happy, no one dares to touch the emperor's brow.

Therefore, this imperial edict was delivered to Li Xin lightly.

The Grand Marquis Li in the Marquis of Jing'an's mansion held the imperial edict in his hand, opened it a little and then threw it aside.

He knew in his heart,
Chapter completed!
