What the ancients called a handsome gentleman and a Confucian general should be someone like Yuchi Jong.
Therefore, Li Xingchen did not expect to be able to change Yuchi Jiong's position through family ties.
If Yuchi Jong is the kind of person who can change his stance for the sake of family ties, then Yuchi Jiong should have changed his stance long ago when so many people in the Yuchi family have been in the hands of Li Xingchen for several years. But until now, Yuchi Jong has not done anything.
He even let his son serve as a vanguard to attack the Han army camp at Hongmen, and did not care about the life and death of his family members.
Li Xingchen didn't know whether this was right or wrong. He asked himself that he shouldn't be able to do it. Perhaps because of this, it would be difficult for him to truly become a qualified tycoon, or even a qualified hero of this era.
However, Li Xingchen never thought that he could become that kind of person. He came to this era not to let the changes of the times eventually change him, but to control the situation with one hand and ultimately change this era.
He doesn't know whether it's right for him to insist on doing some things or not to do them. He only knows that no matter whether he is alive or dead, or in which time and space he is in, he will ultimately follow the original choice in his heart.
Li Xingchen did not intend to praise himself by saying "not forgetting his original intention". He never felt that he was that noble, nor did he feel that he had no ambition.
He is ambitious, and it seems that his ambition is even greater.
In troubled times, others follow the trend, but he wants to control the times.
Li Xingchen stood up and walked back first.
Yuchi Chifan carefully wanted to help his father.
Yuchishun waved his hand and said calmly: "No, I can still go as a father."
Yuchi Chifan glanced at her shaky father worriedly. Of course she knew that her father's body was very healthy now, but she also knew that her father's spirit might not be that healthy anymore. After these setbacks again and again, her father might not be as healthy anymore.
It's hard to hold on.
Seemingly noticing Yuchi Chifan's worried expression, Yuchi Shun smiled: "Don't worry about being a father, I still have to watch."
As he spoke, Yu Chishun cast his gaze on Li Xingchen's back.
He wanted to look at this young man. From Li Xinchen's words, he could feel that Li Xinchen was not just focusing on Guanzhong as he said. He was not only using troops against Yang Jian, but also heading east.
Pressuring Yu Wenxian, it is conceivable that if he cannot get it at the negotiation table, then Li Xingchen will definitely use a sword to seize it.
Perhaps the Yuchi family really made the wrong choice to be enemies with this young man.
But with dad’s character, there’s probably no turning back, right?
Where is the future of the Yuchi family, and where can this young man go?
Although Yuchishun was exhausted due to several defeats, he at least still had the strength to open his eyes and see how the current situation was changing, and he also wanted to see how his father and Qi Wang Yuwenxian would respond.
At least His Highness Prince Qi and his father must be having a headache now, right?
Yuchi Jiong was indeed having a headache, not only because his son was defeated in a confused way, but also because Xiao Shilian was indeed not honest at all.
After the Battle of Hongmen, although the Han army had withdrawn its troops, the Han army's cavalry and more scouts did not relax at all. Instead, they dragged the Northern Zhou scouts into a cruel scout battle. A large number of Northern Zhou scouts came out of the camp.
, in the end, almost only a small half of them were able to come back.
Just based on the soldiers who ran back, Yuchijiong had no way of judging how many new weapons the Han army was equipped with and how powerful they were. After all, these completely frightened deserters would definitely exaggerate the facts.
Sima Xiaonan and the Northern Zhou infantry who rushed to support could only see the situation on the battlefield from a distance, and many people could not describe it clearly.
Yuchi Jiong had been fighting all his life, and of course he did not believe that there was really a weapon that could allow infantry to defeat cavalry so easily, let alone that there would be such a weapon that would ultimately change the direction of the battlefield, and even force his own infantry to not dare to do so.
forward.
He subconsciously attributed this weapon to something that makes big thunder but small raindrops, and he also believed that the Han army was not equipped with too many of these weapons, but only used them to build momentum. And Yuchi Shun
The main reason for the failure was that they were frightened and became chaotic, but also because the number of prepared Han troops was sufficient.
As for the reports about deserters and Sima's troubles, they are obviously adding fuel to the fire.
Especially when the Han army's scouts went out later, none of them carried such weapons, which obviously confirmed Yuchi Jiong's guess. But even so, Yuchi Jiong did not dare to let the Northern Zhou cavalry attack, and now he only had
Two to three thousand cavalry are just for self-protection. It is impossible to attack twice the number of Han cavalry, and Yuchi Jiong has no way to judge whether the Han army will set a trap and wait for these opponents to come to their door.
.
Therefore, in the scout battle, the Northern Zhou Dynasty scouts who were timid were naturally at a disadvantage.
Of course, purely because of the conflict between the Northern Zhou and Han scouts, the losses to the Northern Zhou scouts were not so heavy. The main reason was that the Han army was obviously determined to plot against the Northern Zhou scouts, so it was the Han army's scouts who lured the enemy deep in front and then set up an ambush.
The Han cavalry rushed out and took advantage of their numerical advantage to easily kill the Northern Zhou people under their horses.
Later, the Northern Zhou Dynasty scouts also learned to be shrewd and stopped pursuing the Han army scouts when they retreated. However, even this could not change the huge numerical gap between them and the Han army cavalry, so the Han army cavalry simply pursued and killed them.
, causing the Northern Zhou Dynasty scouts to run around all over the wilderness, spying for information, and simply running away in panic.
So much so that the Northern Zhou Dynasty scouts were no longer even willing to leave the camp. Every day when the scouts went out, they felt as if they were dead.
"General, if this continues, all the old scouts in our army will be lost!" The Northern Zhou generals said one after another in the main tent of the Northern Zhou camp outside Huayin.
"Yes, General, more than twenty people have not returned today, and the Southern Barbarians are almost rushing to the gate of our camp."
"Why don't we go out and fight with them, otherwise it would be too cowardly!"
"General, should we fight or not?"
The generals were all talking, but the one who finally made up their mind was Yuchi Jiong, who was silent in the chief position. Since Yuchi Shun's defeat, it seemed that Yuchi Jiong had also become depressed, and the main force of the Northern Zhou army was huddled in several camps.
It didn't move, so naturally the generals couldn't help it.
How many kilograms does the enemy have? Can't you find out just by trying it?
"The scout war cannot stop." Yuchijiong said calmly, "But no one can start a war without permission!"
