Zhao Yi is indeed not suitable to take over Chen Gang's position. Firstly, he is too young, and secondly, his father Zhao Jia, who is too strong in the Southwest Group.

The Southwest Army was led by Mu Ying and Li Shuo, and they could also control each other, while Zhao Jia was the one who managed the government affairs in the southwest. They had been managed for many years. To a certain extent, Zhao Jia spoke more effectively in the prefectures of the southwest than Li Xin.

If the southwest becomes a country, Zhao Jia is a veritable prime minister.

The reason why Li Xin dared to use him like this is because Zhao Jia has no soldiers and can't make any waves no matter how hard he goes. Moreover, everyone is still in the entrepreneurial stage, and even if a group of big-headed scholars are together, they can't make any waves.

One day, if Southwest Group can take over the capital, no matter how good the relationship between the two people is in private, the power of the minister will definitely be divided.

It is precisely because Zhao Jia's authority is already great enough that his son can no longer take charge of the intelligence department, otherwise the father and son will have a sense of being overshadowed by the host.

Zhao Jia knew this very well, so he refused.

Li Xin frowned and thought for a while, then said, "This is the reason. He is too young. However, since he is willing to work in the secret department, he will continue to let him manage information in the future. It is not a bad thing to get in touch with more things. In general, I will find someone else to take responsibility for it."

Zhao Jia bowed his head respectfully.

"Everything is followed by the General's arrangement."

Li Xin slowly let out a breath and said, "I am going to Hanzhong, Jincheng and the entire southwest, I will ask Brother You'an to take care of you."

"This is the matter of this subordinate."

After they had a conversation, Li Xin kept him in the mansion for a meal. The two sat together and talked for a full two hours until the evening when Zhao Jia stood up and said goodbye.

Li Xin only lived in Jincheng for two days. On the third day, he set out to Hanzhong. However, this time he was not in a hurry, so he did not ride a horse and sat in a black carriage. There was also a man with only one arm.

Chen Shiliu is two or three years younger than Li Xin and is already in his early thirties this year.

He has been following Li Xin since he was sixteen, and it has been more than ten years now.

Since Lin Hu's accident, Chen Shiliu took over Lin Hu's position and made gunpowder powder in Jincheng. It has been five or six years since then. During these five or six years, Chen Shiliu has hardly been involved in the family, and rarely meets his wife and children, and his whereabouts are hidden.

He sat opposite Li Xin with a manner of manner, with a respectful expression.

Li Xin looked at Chen Shiliu and sighed slightly: "Sixteen, has the gunpowder matter been arranged?"

"Go back to the marquis, the arrangements are made."

Chen Shiliu said in a low voice: "I picked five people from those craftsmen, each responsible for part of the production. Although there may still be problems, there should be no accident in a short period of time."

Li Xin nodded, then laughed at himself: "It doesn't matter if something happens. Even if the court has not made gunpowder, it's almost done. There is no need to be so tight in keeping confidentiality."

Following, he looked at Chen Shiliu and said, "Chen Gang is injured, very serious."

Chen Shiliu looked up at Li Xin and asked, "What does the Marquis mean?"

"I can only feel at ease when I have to do this job that I can trust."

Li Xin smiled bitterly: "I also know that you have worked hard in the past few years. I was planning to let you, Hui Niang and a few children live with peace of mind in another one or two years, but something happened to Chen Gang, so you can only let you work hard for another two years to take over the stall of the Anbu."

When the Ancient Tribe was just formed in the early years, Li Xin's family lived in the Jing'an Marquis Mansion in the capital. At that time, Li Xin did not communicate directly with the Ancient Tribe, but asked Chen Shiliu to communicate with Chen Gang. Therefore, Chen Shiliu was very familiar with the Ancient Tribe.

Chen Shiliu lowered his head and was silent for a while, then glanced at his broken arm and whispered: "Marty, I am a disabled person and I am afraid that I will not do it well and will miss the Marquis' work."

"It's not in the way."

Li Xin whispered: "The Ancient Ministry has been in the system and rules for so many years. It's always good if you go to the control. If you have any difficulties, let me tell me and I will handle it for you."

Li Xin first went to Chenjia Village because Chen Shiliu's brother Chen Chuyi was gone and went to report the death to the Chen family. At that time, Chen Shiliu was still a 15 or 16-year-old boy with a very sunny smile.

In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed. Although Li Xin has helped their family live a "good life", he has also owed a lot of Chen family. Over the years, Chen Shiliu, who only has one arm, has helped him too much.

Chen Shiliu lowered his head and was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.

"My life is given by the Marquis. Since the Marquis asked me to do it, I will do my best."

"If there is something that cannot be done well, the Marquis will punish you at will."

“Not arguably.”

Li Xin looked at Chen Shiliu and sighed slightly: "We have been together for so many years. I treat you as a brother. If it weren't for the fact that this matter was too sensitive, I would have let you enjoy a few years of happiness."

Chen Shiliu grinned at Li Xin.

"For so many years, our family has been enjoying many years of blessings with the Marquis."

Chen Shiliu lost his arm when the Renchen Palace changed. After he recovered from his injuries, he went to Jing'an Hou Mansion to work. After more than ten years, although he was nominally a servant of the Li family, there was indeed a relationship between the two families. If it weren't for the errands of the Ancient City, Li Xin would not have let Chen Shiliu, who had worked hard for several years, work hard again.

When Li Xin heard this, he didn't say much, but just silently patted Chen Shiliu on the shoulder.

Neither of them talked too much, and there was a silence in the carriage.

Soon, they arrived at the city of Hanzhong.

In Hanzhong City, there is a southwest general's mansion, which is Li Xin's residence in Hanzhong. After returning to the general's mansion, Li Xin called over several commanders from the Ancient Ministry under Shen Gang, and then handed Chen Gang's sign to Chen Shiliu. Under the witness of several commanders, Chen Shiliu was appointed as the second commander of the Ancient Ministry.

After this matter was done, it was almost evening. Chen Shiliu and several people from the Anmen tribe left the General's Mansion and went to the Anmen tribe's stronghold to get to know the Anmen tribe's affairs. Li Xin asked someone to call Mu Ying and Li Shuo back.

When it was dark, the two generals from the southwest rushed to the general's mansion, came to Li Xin, and half-kneeled to salute.

"Last general, I have seen the general!"

The two people's voices were neat and full of energy.

Li Xin looked up and down, and both Mu Ying and Li Shuo looked a little tired, but his energy was much better than in the previous few months, especially Mu Ying, whose eyes were shining.

Li Xin waved his hand and let the two sit down. Then he turned to look at Mu Ying and smiled: "Brother Mu, how sure are you to take Xiangyang now?"

"It's still 100%."

Mu Ying took a deep breath, looked up at Li Xin, his eyes full of admiration, and he spoke excitedly: "General, give Mo General three months, Mo General will definitely capture Xiangyang City for you!"

Li Xin looked at Li Shuo again.

"And you?"

Li Shuo was introverted. He bowed his head respectfully and said, "Go back to the general, I have asked a lot of things from Mr. Lin during this period."

"The last general also believes that within three months, Xiangyang can be taken down."

"good."

Li Xin comforted his hands and said, "Since both of you are so confident, then we will start to reorganize the army tomorrow."

He narrowed his eyes and his voice was low.

"After half a month, we will officially..."
