"You cultivate in that county for a month or two, and then leave for the southern border, so that by the time you arrive in the southern border, the affairs there will probably have calmed down."

"At that time, I will give you a copy of the military newspaper in Southern Xinjiang, so that you can work with His Majesty. As for the inner guards... it depends on how well you act."

Li Xin looked up at the Marquis of Pingnan, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

He had just left the capital, and this Marquis Li had already made clear arrangements for himself.

Li Xin smiled slightly: "Master Li, what if I don't want to get sick?"

Li Shen turned around indifferently.

"That's up to you."

"The reason why this Marquis told you so much is because of your mother's face. I don't want to kill you. Otherwise, even if you go to the southern border, this Marquis will have ways to deal with you."

Li Shen took two steps forward, looked back at Li Xin, who was very similar to him, and smiled.

"When a person is young, the biggest problem is that he doesn't know how to advance or retreat. It is easy to lose his life because of his own cleverness. The pros and cons of this, Ben Hou only said this time, and you can consider the rest yourself."

While talking, Li Shen has already moved his steps and walked towards his room.

After Li Shen left, Li Xin stood alone in the small yard of the inn, silently lost in thought.

The plump moonlight sprinkled down, making this thin young man look a little out of the ordinary.

A light footstep appeared behind Li Xin.

"Lieutenant Li, are you okay?"

Li Xin glanced back, it was the tall Wang Mo.

The young man smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

He murmured: "There was an evil ghost in the dream, it was very scary..."

Chapter 116 Snitching

The conversation in the station didn't frighten Li Xin. In fact, he was on the verge of riding a tiger. No matter how he said it, he still had to bite the bullet and go to southern Xinjiang.

Even if there is nothing to gain after arriving in southern Xinjiang, it is always necessary to go.

Early the next morning, Li Xin gritted his teeth and got up, rode on the dark cloud horse, and reluctantly followed behind the team of Pingnanhoufu.

Although all of the more than 100 people in Pingnanhou Mansion are good at horsemanship, they ran more than 200 miles yesterday, and their mounts were a little too much, so they are not running very fast now.

Although Li Xin was not good at riding, his big black horse was extremely handsome, allowing him to easily follow behind the team of the Pingnanhou Mansion.

In this way, after more than half a month, the group of them finally stepped into the territory of Shu County.

During this period of time, Li Shen did not speak a single word to Li Xin, and the two of them were like strangers without any communication.

Fortunately, although Li Shen didn't talk to Li Xin, he didn't make things difficult for him, so he arrived in Shu County safely.

Shu County is the former homeland of Southern Shu. Compared with the Central Plains, the folk customs here are relatively braver, and there are many mountains in the territory. Many mountain people still refuse to recognize the rule of the Jin Dynasty. They hide in the mountains and still respect the Li family. He is the lord of Bashu.

This is also the reason why the Li family in Nanshu can last until now.

After more than half a month of training, Li Xin is now a proficient rider, and it is no longer a problem to keep up with the team of the Pingnanhou Mansion, but Li Xin is not as good as the military supervisors who came from Yushitai. After more than half a month, two of the three top-ranked Jinshi fell ill and rested halfway, leaving only one military supervisor in his early 30s who gritted his teeth and followed to Shu County.

The three Yushitai jinshi who were sent here were all from the top three, and they were regarded as relatively low "diplomas" among civil servants, so they were often looked down upon by their colleagues, but even so, they didn't like to mix with Li Xin, a military officer. Together, for more than half a month, they haven't spoken to Li Xin much.

Li Xin was now used to riding a horse, and he sat leisurely on the big black horse, while stroking the big black horse's shiny back, while thinking about how to act next.

Suddenly, smoke and dust rose from the official road.

A group of more than a hundred riders appeared on the official road in a mighty manner.

Amidst the sound of rumbling horseshoes, more than 100 people got off their horses, respectfully half-kneeled in front of Li Shen, lowered their heads and said, "Your Majesty."

The voices of the rest of the people were orderly and deafening.

"I have seen the General!"

This name is actually very particular. Among Li Shen's many titles, the first-rank General Zhu Guo is the most prominent, so ordinary people will call him the Great General, but if he is a member of the Pingnanhou Mansion, he will not With such an identity, most of them would call him Lord Hou.

Those who came to meet Li Shen were none other than the Li Jiaping Southern Army who had occupied more than half a year in southern Xinjiang.

Shu County is mountainous, and there is no soil for cavalry to survive. Therefore, the vast majority of Pingnan Army are infantry, and most of those who are qualified to ride horses are high-level Pingnan Army.

Li Shen dismounted from his horse, and those of the Pingnanhou Mansion behind him also dismounted.

Li Shen stepped forward, helped up a strong man kneeling in front, and then waved his hands lightly: "Everyone, get up and talk."

Li Houye turned to look at the big man in the head, with a calm expression: "How is the battle here?"

This man's surname is Li Mingyan, he is the adopted son of the old Hou Ye Li Zhijie, and now he is the number two figure in the Southern Xinjiang Pingnan Army.

Li Yan stood up with a respectful expression: "Go back to Lord Hou, the remnants of southern Xinjiang are very rampant, and they have already occupied the entire Hanzhou Prefecture."

There are a total of five counties in Hanzhou Prefecture. The battle report sent to the capital some time ago only said that the remnants of southern Xinjiang occupied three counties. Now half a month later, they have occupied the entire territory of Hanzhou Prefecture.

Li Shen nodded silently, then looked back at Li Xin and the others who were not far away, and said calmly, "I see, let's go back to Jincheng first."

Li Yan bowed his head respectfully.

"As ordered."

In terms of identity, he is Li Shen's adopted brother, but Li Yan is a man who knows the rules and never reveals his identity in front of others. In fact, even in the Pingnan Army, only a few high-level people know Another layer of Li Yan's identity.

Li Shen got on his horse, looked back at Li Xin and the others, and said in a flat voice, "Everyone, Li's bandits are rampant and have taken over the entire Hanzhou Prefecture. I was planning to go back to Jincheng to wait and see the situation, and wait for our Pingnan Army to send troops. When the time comes, you will be notified."

Jincheng is the capital of Southern Shu in the past. It was called Handu City, also known as Jincheng.

After Li Zhijie broke the capital of Han, he reported to the imperial court and changed his name to Jincheng. Since then, Jincheng has become the headquarters of the Pingnan Army. The Li family in southern Xinjiang did not dare to raise troops from the vicinity of Jincheng, but Hanzhou, which is a little farther away. The government makes a fuss.

As he said that, he ignored Li Xin and the others, and got on his horse directly, surrounded by a group of people who were driven over by the Pingnan Army and walked towards Jincheng.

Wang Mo, who was riding on the horse, saw all of this, he clasped his fists at Li Xin and said, "Lieutenant Li?"

This is asking Li Xin what they should do next.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "When we get to someone else's territory, we can only behave a little better, let's follow."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Wang Mo, and said softly: "Brother Wang should have a way to send news back to the capital?"

Wang Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slowly: "There are more than five of us."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Then please, Brother Wang, pass the news of the fall of Hanzhou Mansion back to the capital, and remember to explain in it that Li Ni is so rampant in southern Xinjiang that he took over my country in just one month." In the six counties of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Pingnan Army did nothing, and did not use a single soldier to put down the rebellion."
