Chapter 90 Everything is ready

Emperor Zhao of Yuan ascended the throne at the age of fourteen or five, and is almost twenty years old this year. Although he gave birth to a princess, he still has no prince. In other words, the sixth prince who fled to the southwest can be said to be the first heir to the Great Jin Dynasty.

Of course, this is the treatment he will receive only when he stays honestly in Shanyin. At this time, when he escapes from Shanyin, Emperor Yuan Zhao will definitely be in great trouble. If the emperor suddenly dies, he will probably not have appointed this younger brother as his heir.

But this does not hinder the status of the sixth prince.

This is an era of rule and rules. If Li Xin rebelled, he would face great resistance, because although there are many problems hidden under the prosperity of this society, most of these problems are not on the verge of an outbreak. To put it more mysteriously, it is "not exhausted."

If Li Xin rebelled now, there might be rebels everywhere to help the court fight the southwest. Even if there is no rebel, it would be somewhat unpopular, so he must need a sign that is open and upright.

The saint said it very clearly. If the name is not upright, the words will not go well, and if the words are not upright, the things will not go well.

In another world, Emperor Gaozu rebelled, using the name of Chu. Even Li Yuan rebelled, he first accepted a prince from the Yang family as the emperor. Zhu Taizu started out as a cult. He was more high-end, using the name of gods and Buddhas. Zhu Laosi relied on the heavy book "The Instructions of the Emperor Ming Zu". Various anti-Qing forces in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties also respected an emperor of the Zhu family.

Therefore, Li Xin must also have a reasonable name.

When Li Shen, the Marquis of Pingnan, rebelled, he used the title of the eldest prince Ji Ku. In fact, just speaking of the sign, the sign that Li Shen used was much better than the sixth prince at present. After all, Ji Ku was the crown prince, and the throne of Emperor Taikang was unclear. Therefore, many people in the entire Jin Dynasty were optimistic about the southwest, and even officials from the court secretly wrote letters to the southwest. If Emperor Taikang and Li Xin had not crushed the Pingnan Army and planned it for a few years, the Pingnan Army would have great potential.

What Li Xin wanted to do at this time was essentially not much different from Li Shen back then. If there was any difference, it was that the current Southwest Army was much stronger than the Pingnan Army twenty years ago.

The comparison of troops alone is almost the same, but the Pingnan Army did not have thunder, nor did it have many newly created weapons in the southwest, nor did it have a relatively corrupt northern border.

The enemies that both sides have to face are also much different.

What the Pingnan Army had to face was the wise Emperor Taikang, who was a little cautious but generally wise, and the young and energetic Marquis of Jing'an. Now the Southwest Army had to face was the young and talented Emperor Yuan Zhao.

More importantly, there are few generals left in the court.

At the time, the more dazzling generals in the Jin Dynasty were the Ye family, and the newly-an Jing'an Marquis Mansion. However, now, the Zong family is mostly unable to escape from the northern border, and the Ye family is basically unlikely to contribute to the court. The court has only imperial guards, but there are not many generals available to do their jobs for the court.

What Emperor Yuan Zhao could use was General Pei Jin, who was over 60 years old, his mother's family, and the inconspicuous generals in the capital.

The gap between the Southwest Army and the imperial court is not as big as people imagine.

After the Sixth Prince arrived in Jincheng, Li Xin and Zhao Jia sent him to the Ninth Princess with Zhao Jia and asked the Ninth Princess to take care of him. The Ninth Princess left the capital with Li Xin in the eighth year of Taikang. It has not seen his family for more than seven years. At this time, he was very happy to see his little nephew. He just asked how the Sixth Prince came from, and took the Sixth Prince down to make delicious food.

The Ninth Princess is delicious. She has been married to Li Xin for so many years and has learned about the food that Li Xin knows. When she is fine on weekdays, she makes some delicious food with her eldest daughter and Zhong Xiaoxiao at home.

Seeing his aunt and nephew gradually moving away, Zhao Jia, who was standing behind Li Xin, lowered his head slightly and said, "The Sixth Prince has arrived in Jincheng, everything is ready. When will the General be ready to take action?"

Li Xin looked up at the sky, and a cool breeze of late autumn blew towards him.

It was October of the fifth year of Yuanzhao, and the weather gradually cooled down.

The Southwest General lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "It depends on the progress of Brother Mu and Li Shuo. They are ready, and we are ready to take action at any time."

As he said that, Li Xin turned around and glanced at Zhao Jia.

"Brother You'an, once the Southwest Army leaves Shu, the food and grass consumed is astronomical. I wonder if there is enough food and grass on Brother You'an?"

"Don't worry, General."

Zhao Jia smiled: "Since the general let me take charge of the Southwest, no matter how difficult it is, I will save some food every year. After so many years, the Jingliufu has saved a lot of food, enough for more than 150,000 Southwest Army to fight for more than a year."

Li Xin nodded slightly.

To be honest, he is not a genius. If he piled up all the things in the Southwest on him, Li Xin would probably not be able to do anything in recent years, and he would not even think it was enough to throw himself into politics.

During the process of growing southwest, Zhao Jia helped him a lot. Without Zhao Jia, Li Xin would not have been able to get to where he is today even if he had the will.

After he paused, he spoke, "The Sixth Prince has arrived in Jincheng, and it will be easy to find the reason for our departure from Shu. I also asked Brother You'an to help me write and draft a manifesto to attack the emperor. We will be able to use it in a while."

Zhao Jiagong bowed his head: "I dare not obey orders."

"When I go home tonight, my subordinates will start drafting a manifesto and deliver it to the general within three days."

"I can't stay in Jincheng for a few days."

Li Xin bowed his hands and said, "There are still many things to follow in Hanzhong. I will live in Jincheng for two or three days and I will go back to Hanzhong. I am not in a hurry to do the proclamation. After Brother You'an has finished writing it, I will send someone to Hanzhong to me."

Speaking of this, Li Xin paused and continued: "From today on the way, Southwest will be ready to rise at any time. Brother You'an, your management mansion, has a lot of work to be done."

Zhao Jia immediately lowered his head: "The General gave him the order."

Li Xin slowly breathed and said, "A few days ago, I was reviewing the Southwest Army in the Southwest and found that at least 10% of the generals and officers of the Southwest Army had an affair with the court. If this is the case in the army, the officials around the southwest must be even more serious."

"At this critical moment, it is not suitable to review officials in a drastic manner, otherwise it will cause panic. However, if you want to raise an army, you cannot ignore it completely. The key duties of the Southwest Administration and the government offices of various states, such as responsible for food, horses, military funds, and all key responsibilities, Brother You'an must review them in detail, and the court must not be allowed to install people in this position."

Zhao Jia's face was full of solemnity when he heard this.

"Don't worry, General, I will definitely do this."

Li Xin reached out and patted Zhao Jia on the shoulder, and smiled: "Okay, the business is over, let's talk about private matters."

Zhao Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Please tell me."

"Chen Gang... I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything in the future."

Li Xin sighed slowly and said, "There are more than 3,000 people under my command. I mean, let Zhao Yi take over this errand slowly."

Zhao Jia frowned deeply and lowered his head.
