Chapter 22 Opportunities

Mu Ying, Zhao Jia and Li Shuo are now giants in the southwest. People from the thirty-one prefectures in the southwest will feel trembling, but the authority of these three people does not come from the nameless Shu Palace, but all comes from Li Xin.

Therefore, all three of them must be close to Li Xin and try every means to get in touch with Li Xin. Mu Ying's son, the king of Shu Li Xiu, had already recognized Li Xin as his adoptive father many years ago. Although Zhao Jia is a scholar, he also has to plan for future generations. The conversation he had with Li Xin just now seemed like a joke, but it was not a joke at all.

He wanted his son to marry Li Xin's eldest daughter and be his son-in-law.

Li Xin refused, and Zhao Jia took the second best, hoping that his son would recognize this adoptive father.

This is a very normal thing. After all, among the three people in the southwest, Zhao Jia is the only one who is not in charge of the army. He must tie himself up with the Jing'an Marquis Mansion even tighter.

Sometimes, these naked interests are not easy to be said directly, and can only be hidden in jokes. This major event that determines the future Southwest pattern is decided in a few words.

Zhao Jia and Mu Ying's sons both recognized Li Xin as their adopted father, so there would be no need to worry about ordering Li Shuo. He is Li Xin's brother, and the Li family is too few, and Li Xin is unable to be cloned. No matter what the future holds, the Li family will settle down in the southwest. This branch of Li Shuo will become the military foundation of the Li family in the southwest.

After calling the two people into the house, Li Xincai frowned and ordered Chen Gang: "Let your brothers stare at the people of the court, pay close attention to all the movements in Qiyang County. If there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately. If there is any suspicious person near Li's house, kill him and throw him into Qishan."

Li Shuo and Zhao Jia can be said to be mostly in the southwest. They came from Jincheng to Yongzhou, and they took risks. No matter what, these two people cannot make any mistakes.

Chen Gang bowed respectfully: "I understand."

Li Xin paused and ordered: "Look at the people of the court, and let me know after the imperial edict enters the county town."

"yes!"

Chen Gang lowered his head and went down to do things.

After Li Xin arranged the matter, he walked into his house with his hands behind his back. At this time, the servant had almost prepared the meal. Li Xin brought his only son Li Ping out and saluted Zhao Jia and Li Shuo.

Li Ping was born in Taikang in the eighth year and is now six years old. He has a sweet mouth and calls Zhao Jia as his uncle and Li Shuo as his uncle. After hearing this title, the two of them were extremely happy and groped around and gave Li Ping as gifts.

After teasing Li Ping for a while, Zhao Jia spoke to Li Xin and said, "If there is nothing wrong in the southwest, I will resign from the position of the Strategic Inspector and go to the Marquis' house to be a Mr. Xi and teach the young master to study."

Li Xin shook his head and smiled, "I can't afford to invite Brother You'an, this Western Conference. If you really stay with me as a Western Conference, Mu Ying will probably come to me to fight hard."

Zhao Jia laughed.

"The young master is smart and quite like a marquis. He will definitely achieve great things in the future."

Li Xin only has such a son, the prince of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. However, the situation is now like this, and this prince is not just a prince. Whether it is Zhao Jia or Li Shuo, his attitude towards Li Ping is very different from that of others.

This is the young master from the southwest. If Mr. Li's career goes well in the future, this young prince...

After a group of juniors gave their salutes, the meals were almost arranged. There was a rare crowd around Li's house. The group sat together and had a good meal. After the meal, it was already afternoon. When the servants were cleaning up the dishes, Li Xin led Zhao Jia and Li Shuo to the backyard. The three of them sat under the pavilion. Li Xin personally gave them a cup of tea.

Li Shuo was still a little restrained and quite well-behaved in front of Li Xin. Zhao Jia and Li Xin were old acquaintances, so they had to relax a lot. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled and said, "How did the Marquis gain this trip to Ningling?"

Marquis Jing'an frowned.

"This trip to Ningling was originally intended to pay tribute to Senior Brother Ye, and it would be a bit vulgar if you only talk about interests."

Zhao Jia shook his head and said, "I heard about it in Jincheng. The court drove Ye Siye out of Hanzhong and did not let Duke Ye go out of the capital and return to Jimen Pass. It is obvious that he has begun to attack the Ye family. At this time, the Marquis went to Ningling, and it is impossible for him to say nothing?"

Li Xin poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed: "I can't speak, I can't persuade him."

"In my opinion, the Xianbei tribe in the north will definitely take action at the beginning or mid-year next year. Yuwen Zhao's strength has become stronger and stronger in recent years. Once their lord Jizhou City, I am worried that the Zhenbei Army will not be able to resist it. Therefore, Ye Mao and Senior Brother Ye said that if the Zhenbei Army cannot stop it, they can retreat first."

Speaking of this, Li Xin smiled helplessly.

"Senior Brother Ye was very unhappy when he heard this. What he meant was that no matter whether the leader of Zhenbei Army was the Ye family or not, Zhenbei Army would fight to the death at Jimen Pass."

"They don't be openers."

“It’s not surprising.”

Zhao Jia poured a cup of tea himself, took a sip, and frowned and said, "The old man swept across the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the north, and the Ye family was regarded as the nemesis of the Xianbei people. With the reputation of the old man and the trust of thousands of people, at this time, the marquis told them not to fight head-on, so they naturally refused."

As he said that, Zhao Jia looked at Li Xin and asked, "Mr. Marquis, do you mean?"

"No one wants to see the Northland creatures suffer."

Li Xin sighed: "I have written to the court more than once, saying that I will eliminate the hidden dangers in northern Xinjiang, but to this day, the big danger has finally been formed. Now, the Yuwen Department is fully attacking Jizhou City or Yunzhou City, and without hesitating his life, he is 70% sure that he can enter."

"They can make a second and third chances when they can make a fuss in, and then the north will be in chaos."

"To be honest, I also want to help Zhenbeijun, but I am in the southwest, all over the world, and I can't help them."

Zhao Jia shook his head.

"Things are not as serious as the Marquis thinks."

"With the strength of the Xianbei tribe now, they may be able to break through the pass, but whether it is Jimen Pass or Yunzhou City, they have to take off a layer of skin if they want to come. Even if they in, they will not stay long and will not take long to retreat to the pass."

The Xianbei tribes today may have the ability to cause chaos in one place, but without the capital to compete for the world, they would not be able to start siege cities and land. At most, they would grab some things and people, and then return to the outside of the pass.

This is the norm for the nomadic peoples during the Central Plains dynasty. From a macro perspective, the Xianbei tribe is equivalent to a big hornet, and comes to slap you from time to time.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jia glanced at Li Xin, and then slowly said: "The chaos in the north is a great thing for the southwest."

"As long as the Yuwen Ministry enters the pass, the court will consume a lot of energy on the Yuwen Ministry. At that time, I may be able to try to leave Shu in the southwest."
