MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-Chapter 122 I want to see him alone
Chapter 122 I want to see him alone
After Pingnan Army rested for three days in Deyang County, they began to move towards the next county.
As Li Xin had expected, the incomparably brave Pingnan Army captured the county in just one day, and then General Cheng sent Li Xin a battle report that could not pick out any faults as always. , the battle damages detailed in the battle report, as well as the loss of materials, as well as the list of casualties.
In just one month, Deyang, Shifang, Jintang and other counties in Hanzhou Prefecture were taken down by the Pingnan Army. The remnants of the border are thoroughly cleaned up.
So far, the remnants of the southern border have been quelled.
During this process, Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, did not even show up, and only the deputy general Cheng Ping took just one month, with "20,000" Pingnan Army, to take Hanzhou Prefecture, one prefecture, five counties, all beat down.
Li Xin and others followed Cheng Ping and lived in each county for a few days. In mid-April, he followed Cheng Ping to the gate of Hanzhou City, where the door was wide open. His lieutenant, Cheng Ping, clasped his fists and bowed his head with emotion: "The remnants of the southern border were swept away by the Pingnan Army in January. The Pingnan Army is really the world's brave army."
Li Xin's tone was sincere, and he couldn't hear the slightest bit of sarcasm, but when Cheng Ping heard this sentence, it was full of ridicule, but this General Cheng had a thick skin and coughed immediately with a serious face: " Nanshu has been destroyed for more than 30 years, and the royal family of Nanshu still refuses to stop.
Having said this, the General Cheng sighed: "It's just that this time, I was too eager to pacify the southern army, and my son also suffered heavy losses. I urge Li Xiaowei to return to Beijing and report this situation to the court truthfully. So that the court can distribute the pension on time."
Li Xin squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "When I walked with General Cheng all the way down the road, I didn't think it was difficult to suppress the bandits. Instead, I saw General Cheng sing along the way. In my opinion, Li Houye didn't have to rush back from the capital at all. "With General Cheng here, isn't the southern border impregnable?"
Cheng Ping's face changed slightly.
No matter what Li Xin said before, he listened to it as a kid's joke and didn't take it to heart at all, but Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, was the absolute core of the Pingnan Army and the lifeblood of the Pingnan Army.
The deputy general of the Pingnan Army said sternly: "Li Xiaowei's words are not related to military affairs. The most important thing in the battle of the army is the general. Although the general did not personally lead the troops to attack the city, he was sitting in the rear to command, and there was no general. With the rear strategizing and coordinating the scheduling, how could one achieve such a military exploit with a certain Cheng?"
Li Xin narrowed his eyes.
This Cheng Ping has a strong desire to survive.
The young captain said softly, "General Cheng said just now that the Pingnan Army suffered heavy casualties, and he wanted the court to issue compensation. I don't know how many people died in this battle?"
Cheng Ping looked sad: "Li Xiaowei, in this battle, I took the lives of the soldiers of the Southern Army and killed more than 10,000 people. As for the wounded, there are countless!"
Tsk...what a big appetite.
According to the rules of the imperial court, the pension for a soldier killed in battle should be ten thousand dollars, and more than 10,000 people were killed in battle. That is to say, the pension alone would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to the reward for this battle, one kills an enemy. How much of this should be rewarded, as well as the supply of grain and grass. This time, the imperial court has to allocate at least one million yuan to be enough.
Li Xin's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "May I ask General Cheng, the soldiers of the Pingnan Army who died in action, do you want the court to make up for it?"
According to the rules, the establishment of the Pingnan Army is 100,000 people. If some of them are killed in battle, the imperial court will recruit soldiers to fill the vacancies, because general generals are not qualified to recruit soldiers.
At this moment, he asked Cheng Ping's key point.
The number of casualties he reported to Li Xin this time is more than 10,000 people. If the court fills up more than 10,000 people into the Pingnan Army, let's not talk about it, these more than 10,000 people can make Pingnan The army had trouble sleeping and eating.
If the Son of Heaven transfers 10,000 soldiers and horses, so many people will naturally form a force in the southern border, and this force is not small, unless the Pingnan Army officially raises the flag and rebels, they really can't do this. Thousands of people.
Even if they were fighting, more than 10,000 people would be enough to tear a hole in the Pingnan Army.
Cheng Ping said in a low voice: "Li Xiaowei, this is not necessary. The state is just at the time of employing people. How can I ping the southern army to waste the talents of the court?"
Li Xin smiled and said, "I can't let the Pingnan Army lose more than 10,000 people for no reason, right?"
Cheng's plane color cooled down.
"As for the missing part, the general of my family will naturally write to the court and ask the court to allow my Pingnan Army to recruit troops in the southern border. The Pingnan Army has come here for so many years, and has never bothered the court."
Li Xin nodded knowingly and smiled: "That being the case, General Cheng will hand over the military report for the attack on the Hanzhou Prefecture as soon as possible, and I will count up a specific number earlier so that I can report back to your Majesty."
Cheng Ping nodded indifferently: "Don't worry Li Xiaowei, it will be delivered to Li Xiaowei as soon as possible."
said, Deputy General Cheng turned and left.
Li Xin also shook his head and smiled, turned and walked into the big mansion that Cheng Ping arranged for them, ready to rest.
In a restaurant not far from this big mansion, a noble man in blue clothes was sitting by the window on the second floor, and he saw Li Xin and Cheng Ping in his eyes.
After Cheng Ping left, the wine glass in your hand, your son's voice was calm: "Make arrangements, I want to see this Li Xin tonight."
This noble son is naturally the eldest son of King Min of Nanshu, His Highness Li Xing.
He was originally in Hanzhou City. After Cheng Ping "hit" into Hanzhou City, he did not leave Hanzhou.
After Nanshu destroyed the country, King Min's family escaped and swept away a lot of wealth of the Nanshu royal family, so that King Min's family has been very nourishing in the southern border. For example, this Highness Li Xing, Life on weekdays is no worse than that of Prince Min's mansion when Nan Shu was still alive.
A servant in cyan clothes stood behind him, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, this person is guarded by people from the Pingnan Army. It doesn't seem easy to see him."
"What else do you need to do if it's easy?"
Li Xing's voice was cold: "No matter what method I use, I want to see this young man named Li Xin tonight, you just let it go, even if you find out for Cheng Ping, it doesn't matter, I don't believe it anymore, in the city of Hanzhou , what else can Cheng Ping do to Lonely?"
Calling the lonely and widowed sounds very compelling, but whether it is "orphan" or "widow", it is a self-effacing title for a prince. Li Xing's current identity is the prince of Prince Min's mansion. From this perspective, he Calling himself "orphan" is absolutely no problem.
Besides, he is probably the only one left alive among the descendants of the Nanshu royal family today, and he can be regarded as a true loner.
This servant quickly clasped his fists.
"Your Highness, I'll go down and make arrangements."
Thank you ASYEA for the reward!
