Even though more than ten years have passed, even Li Xin himself cannot tell which Li Xin he is, the memories of another world still deeply influence him, especially his values.

In this imperial era, everyone felt that loyalty to the emperor was one of the moral standards. A good person must be loyal to the emperor, otherwise he would be a thief or a thief.

But Li Xin is different. He has some conflicts with the universal concepts of this world from the bottom of his heart. For example, in this era, everyone thinks that the emperor is the supreme emperor, so he should be superior to everyone and is indescribable.

Although Li Xin often knelt on the emperor in the court, in his heart, whether it was Emperor Chengde, Emperor Taikang, or the current Emperor Yuan Zhao, they were all living people and were not really God's sons.

Therefore, deep down, he placed himself in an equal position with several emperors.

In other words, if the emperor treats him badly, he will never let himself down.

It is precisely because of this concept that during the Taikang period, Li Xin had been cultivating his own power intentionally or unintentionally. The people under Chen Gang were a force, and the Southwest was another force under his command.

Without exception, these two forces are independent of the court. Li Xin did not interfere in the position of the Ministry of War or the imperial guards, and even started to fight for two days and became the boss.

Until now, although he has not yet had the ability to overthrow the Jin court, he is already enough to protect himself in front of the national machinery of the court. For example, when he is now running from Yongzhou to the southwest, he can immediately become his local emperor in the southwest. Not to mention anything else, at least his generation of the imperial court will definitely have no choice but to do anything about him. If the local emperor is troubled in the future, he can even establish himself as an emperor and directly establish a small country similar to Dali.

Moreover, with the current strength of Southwest, if his descendants are not very stupid, it would be a big problem for this small country to maintain two or three generations.

This is also his confidence to leave the capital, the power center. After all, he can start a new job at any time and does not have to play with those in the court.

Ye Lin did not speak, but buried his head in eating a few sips of the food, then took another sip of wine, and sighed.

"Chang'an, Ye Mao is still at Jimen Pass. Please see what's happening in the north..."

"There is probably not much progress in the north."

Li Xin also drank a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I made an agreement with Yuwen Zhao to attack Yuwen Futu's tribe together. Later, I left Jimen Pass for something. Ye Mao fulfilled this agreement for me."

"The purpose of making this agreement at that time was to consume the overall strength of the Yuwen tribe. When Yuwen Zhao and the Futu tribe were both defeated, the Zhong family army in Yunzhou City would suck some blood to eat the Qigui tribe. In this way, as long as the court could make some cruelty, 40,000 to 50,000 people would be killed, it would be able to earn decades of peace in the northern border."

Speaking of this, Marquis Jing'an laughed at himself.

"When I looked to the north, I spent a lot of time studying the remnants of Yuwen in the north. I often went to Duke Chen's mansion for advice, which made Master Ye very annoyed and left me a lot of geography and books about the Yuwen department."

"It was already half done."

Speaking of this, Li Xin shook his head slightly and raised his wine glass.

"I won't say anything, let me have a drink."

When he was in Northern Xinjiang, his plans were already done, but before he could start operations, the court patted Pei Jin to attack the southwest. He had to leave Jimen Pass and quickly ran to the southwest to save the yard. The matter in Northern Xinjiang was put on hold.

Later, although Ye Mao helped him complete the battle against the Futu tribe, if he did it himself, he would have done it more carefully. Moreover, Ye Mao would probably not be able to call the Zhong family army in Yunzhou City, and Li Xin had a better face than him, and Li Xin might be fine.

If it goes well, it only takes three years for Li Xin to disturb the northern border and save the Great Jin Dynasty from 50 years of external troubles, but it is a pity...

To this day, the court still has the strength and opportunity to pacify the Yuwen Department. At this moment, Yuwen Zhao is still digesting the Futu Department. Moreover, it will take about three years to fully recover the troops killed in battle in the past two years.

At this time, it was the period of weakness of the Yuwen Department. If the Zhenbei Army at Jimen Pass could join forces with the Zhong family army in Yunzhou City, even if Yuwen Zhao could not be destroyed, the Yuwen Department would be seriously injured again, and would not move for at least 20 or 30 years.

But unfortunately, this is basically unlikely.

After drinking a glass of wine, Ye Lin smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what you mean. Now all the attention of the court is focused on the southwest, and it is unlikely that he will have the rest of his energy to fight north."

Marquis Jing'an smiled slightly: "If the Futu tribe was just destroyed, the court took advantage of the situation to attack and only paid a small price to severely damage the Yuwen tribe and bring peace to the northern border. However, Yuwen Zhao attacked the Futu tribe in the spring of the ninth year of Taikang. Now the first year of Yuan Zhao is almost winter. Nearly two years have passed, and Yuwen Zhao has probably recovered a lot of vitality. If he wants to win a big victory at this time, I am afraid that both Zhenbei Army or Zhongjia Army will have to destroy themselves to have a chance."

"Now the imperial court has sent about three Zhechong Mansions to Hanzhong, and the corresponding food and supplies have been sent to Hanzhong. According to the information I have received, it may be enough for the troops in Hanzhong to eat for more than three years."

Speaking of this, Li Xin laughed at himself: "When I fought in the West, the court's supplies were not as diligent as they were."

"The court mobilized so much power to watch the southwest, so naturally it was impossible for it to have the energy to look north. Besides, the emperor has not yet ruled, and those big-headed scholars are all people who can enjoy one day of blessings and one day of blessings. They will not look back at all, and they will not care about the hidden dangers of the Yuwen Department, even if they sit on their prime minister with their heads buried."

"It will take another one or two years to get the government in charge of the emperor's power. By then, Yuwen Zhao's tribe has eaten the Futu tribe and digested it all into his stomach."

Marquis Jing'an narrowed his eyes.

"At that time, as long as Yuwen Zhao annexed the Helan tribes, the Yuwen tribes will be completely unified. At that time, the iron cavalry that was spreading across the world when the Northern Zhou Dynasty entered the pass will not be far from reappearing."

The Northern Zhou Dynasty was once a terrifyingly powerful country. When these Xianbei people entered the pass, even eight-year-old children could pull their bows. They were extremely brave. After entering the pass, they swept across the iron cavalry and fought all the way to the edge of the Huai River. They were blocked by the vast natural chasm and were then controlled by the Great Jin River.

In the following hundred years, the Southern and Jin Dynasty was suppressed by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the combat power of the two countries was very different.

However, after the Xianbei aristocrats had been in power for a hundred years, they quickly became corrupt and degenerate, and only three or four generations came down. The upper class aristocrats could not get on the ground and could not move their swords. As a result, Emperor Wu, who was sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, sent Ye Sheng to the northern expedition, and rushed into the capital in one fell swoop, driving these Xianbei people back outside the pass.

This history is not very far away, and it has only been more than forty years. Ye Lin is very aware of the terribleness of the Northern Zhou Iron Cavalry.

He said helplessly: "Even if the Yuwen tribes are unified, they are far inferior to the Yuwen tribes that swept the world when they entered the pass. You don't need to exaggerate the truth in Chang'an."

"But this is indeed a big trouble."

He sighed.
