Unparalleled Concubine

Ye Mao stood behind Ye Lin and said with a smile: "What the imperial court means now is what Uncle Li means. Uncle Li won't harm our family, so we just follow what he means."

"As for the personal enmity between our family and the Xianbei people, we can put it aside for now."

The three generations of the Ye family belong to the relatively pure type of soldiers. Their family, country and world are more important than everything else, and naturally they are more important than their own personal enmity.

Besides, Li Xin had already explained to Ye Mao in his heart the arrangements for the Xianbei people, but the matter was secret, so Ye Mao didn't mention it to his uncle.

Ye Lin nodded, and sighed silently: "Now the Zhenbei Army has recovered, Uncle Wei still has the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, and he has written many times in Chang'an to urge me to go back to the capital. I can't stay in Jizhou City any longer."

"Tomorrow, I'm going back to the capital, and by the way, I'll help you see what the capital looks like now."

"The matter of the Zhenbei Army is entrusted to you."

Ye Mao smiled honestly: "Don't worry, fourth uncle, there is no problem here, and my nephew can handle it alone."

"After Fourth Uncle returns to Beijing, please take care of some of my family members and don't let them get into trouble."

Ye Lin reached out and patted his eldest nephew's shoulder, and sighed slightly.

"Now that you can take charge of your own affairs, I'm naturally relieved. It's just that your status is different now. There is one sentence that I want to tell you."

Ye Guogong looked serious, bowed his head and said: "Uncle taught."

"Now you are the Great General of Zhenbei, Chen Guogong of our Ye Family, and you are no longer the Ye Mao from before."

Ye Shangshu's voice was low.

"In the future, you will not be able to visit the military formation in person until the time of life and death. No matter what the battle is, your survival is the most important thing."

"You live a good life in the north, so the Chen Guogong's mansion in the capital will have a foundation."

Chapter 1169 The old friend

Yu Wentao, the patriarch of the Helan Tribe, was once forced by his uncle to raise horses in a racecourse. Later, with the help of Li Xin, he was able to return to the clan and inherit the position of patriarch.

At that time, he also had some verbal agreements with Li Xin. For example, the Helan tribe would make friends with the Central Plains court in the future, accept the title of the Central Plains court, and promise not to invade the border of the Central Plains court. At the same time, Li Xin also promised to Yu Wenzhao that he would let The Central Plains court traded with the Helan tribe, allowing them to exchange furs and jerky beef and mutton for some grain, rice, oil and salt, so as to ensure that they would not go hungry in winter.

Originally, if Yuwen Tao settled down a little more, through the cooperation with the Jin court and the agreement with Li Xin, the Helan tribe would be the most nourishing tribe among the Yuwen tribes, but it is a pity that not every Xianbei people They are all Yu Wenzhao.

First of all, Yu Wentao himself has no abilities, otherwise he would not have been driven into the racecourse by his uncle. After becoming the patriarch, his nature was gradually exposed, not only lustful, but also very cruel and arrogant.

After his uncle Yu Wenjie died, he killed all his uncle's sons, occupied his aunt and two cousins, and made them women in his account. The surrounding tribes began to challenge the king's account more wantonly, so that the Yuwen tribes in the north were full of conflicts.

Especially after Yu Wenzhao died.

When Yu Wenzhao was alive, Yu Wentao was somewhat afraid of the Yuwen King who had been the co-lord of Xianbei, but after Yu Wenzhao died of illness, the actions of the Helan Department became more and more rampant. Big fight.

After the first collision, the Helan tribe was "sieged" by the king's tent and suffered some losses. Yu Wentao, who had swollen to a certain extent, was furious, and directly transferred [-] young men from the Helan tribe to the court. Advance with the king's account.

When Yu Wenzhao unified the Xianbei tribe, it was the peak time of the entire Xianbei tribe, and together they could have more than 20 troops. However, after Yu Wenzhao stormed Jizhou, the strength of the entire Xianbei tribe dropped suddenly. Steps, the originally powerful king's account has only [-] troops left, and not all of them are young people.

Although the Helan Department is better, it will not be much better.

A battle of 2 people is already a ceiling-level battle for the current Xianbei tribes.

Facing the arrogant and domineering Helan tribe, the Xianbei Wangzhang naturally couldn't swallow their anger. The two sides fought several battles on the grassland. Because of the inferior number of people, the Xianbei Wangzhang suffered a lot.

At this moment, Jimen Pass is still waiting and watching, not a single soldier has left the city.

In the General's Mansion in Jizhou City, Yu Wenhu, who was full of anxiety, stood in front of Ye Mao, his already dark face turned even darker, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Guogong, our department has already fought with Helan's department. It's been three or four days, and thousands of people have been killed or injured, so we can't conspire with the Helan Department to trap you again?"

His face was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth: "If your army doesn't send troops, my king's tent will raise the flag and surrender!"

Ye Guogong, with a calm face, said with a smile: "If the envoy has this attitude, then there is no need to talk about it. You simply surrendered to the Helan Department, so that you don't have to fight anymore, and I don't have to risk sending troops. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Yu Wenhu was already furious in his heart, but he still held back his anger, and his voice trembled with anger.

"What exactly does Ye Guogong intend to do?"

"I told you a long time ago that all the tribes of Xianbei belong to the same family, and even have the same surname. I can't guarantee whether you will act together to deceive me, so I need you to show sincerity."

With that said, Ye Mao pointed to a map in front of him, then drew a circle on the map with his hand, and said indifferently: "Whether you seduce or persecute, drive the people from the Helan Department to this circle." Come here, our Zhenbei Army will naturally send troops."

Yu Wenhu looked down at the map with an uncertain expression on his face.

………………

In May of the second year of Yankang.

It's the hottest season of the year, and it has been more than a month since the start of the war in the north. Due to the high delay of information, the news Li Xin received here is still that the north is still in a stalemate, and there is no real attack. a result.

However, although there were no results in the north, the rebellion in Guangling had already had results. The Guangling Rebel Army led by His Royal Highness Qi personally led the uprising for just over a month, and was easily defeated by the Shenwu Guards led by Li Shuo. The former His Royal Highness King Qi has been captured alive and is on his way to the capital.

In the past month or so, there were occasional offerings of auspicious offerings in the capital, but because Zhou Youyi and other leaders had already been greeted by Zhao Jia, no one had written letters to persuade them to come in. Still eerily calm.

During this period of time, most of Li Xin's attention was focused on the war in the north. In addition to reading the military newspapers sent from the north every day, the Anbu under his command also sent news to Jizhou all the time. Ye Mao kept his ears and eyesight.

However, how the battle in the north will be fought depends on the Zhenbei Army's adaptability. With such a high "delay", it is impossible for Li Xin to provide any advice to Ye Mao, and it is impossible to intervene in any battle in the northern border.

What he can do is to do all the logistical work in the capital, and then quietly wait for the result.

But on this day, Li Shuo, who had rushed to Guangling to quell the rebellion, finally returned to the court triumphantly. Originally, Emperor Yankang was supposed to go to the gate of the city to meet the heroes of the rebellion, but the emperor was not in good health these days, so he did not come in person.

As the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Li Xin waited at the gate of the south city of the capital to greet him early in the morning. By the time the Shenwuwei army arrived at the gate of the south city, it was almost noon.

Li Shuo, who was sitting on a big black horse, immediately got off his horse when he saw Li Xin, came to Li Xin, bowed to Li Xin and said, "I have seen the governor."

Li Xin stretched out his hand and patted Li Shuo's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the great general on his success."

Li Shuo bowed his head in embarrassment and said, "It's just a mob who doesn't make a difference. Before Master Wang arrived in Guangling, most of them have already dispersed like birds and beasts. The general dare not ask for credit."

Li Xin chuckled, "It's a credit to you for your hard work."

Then he looked behind Li Shuo, and asked, "Your Highness King Qi was brought back?"

Li Shuo nodded slightly, and said, "I was escorted back by the last general, because the general said he wanted to show respect to these Ji family members, so he didn't use a prison cart to bring them back in a horse-drawn carriage."

This time, Li Shuo only brought [-] Shenwu Guards and [-] Shenji Battalion soldiers with him when he went out of Beijing to suppress the rebellion. There were not many people. At this time, besides the mighty Shenwu Guards, there were three or four vehicles The whole black carriage is used to escort the rebels.

Under Li Shuo's guidance, Li Xin walked up to the first carriage. He looked at the carriage first, then sighed slightly, and asked, "Why did His Highness King Qi rebel?"

At this time, His Royal Highness Ji Huan, Prince Qi, was already 45 years old, his beard and hair were stained with frost, and he was shackled all the way to the capital.

He heard Li Xin's voice through the curtain of the carriage, and immediately regained his energy, cursing outside the window.

"You and Lao Qi are both traitors!"

"Old Seven is dead, and in the end you rebelled against him. How ridiculous! We and the Ji family, how can we just sit back and watch a villain like you occupy the magpie's nest!"
