Chun Yuliang didn't care about the looks of the generals around him. It was true that he was thinking about them, but from another perspective, Chun Yuliang was also thinking about himself.
The battle at Jinghu has undoubtedly affected the nerves of the entire Nanchen Dynasty. No one can ignore or skip this raging battle, so this means that it is not just the people under Suizhou City or Jiangling City who are watching the battle.
, the emperors, generals and ministers in Jiankang Mansion are also waiting eagerly.
Therefore, Chun Yuliang didn't need to think about it. When Zhangshan County only had three thousand defenders, and the enemies they had to face were ten times their own, what kind of orders would the emperor in Jiankang Mansion give, let alone Li Xingchen?
The two young men, Xiao Shilian and Wu Mingche, were frequent visitors to Wu Mingche's house. Therefore, instead of waiting for the imperial court's decree to arrive and then delaying the invasion, it is better to take action now, which can leave a good impression on His Majesty and seize the opportunity in time.
When the news reached Jiankang Mansion and the imperial edict came back, the day lilies were already cold, and Chun Yuliang was only responsible for collecting the corpses for the Zhangshan County garrison.
Secondly, Chunyu Liang could not think about himself, but he had to think about his descendants. The Chunyu family was originally sparse in population and was not considered a big family. Before Chunyu Liang, it was just a family that had just been able to gain a foothold in the capital.
It's just an ordinary family. With the rise of Chunyu Liang step by step, the Chunyu family has reached its current scale.
The backbone of the entire Chun Yu family is still the elderly Chun Yuliang. Among his descendants, only the sixth son Chun Yucen is still somewhat capable, because Wu Mingche used to serve as a partial division to contain the enemy's main force during the Northern Expedition.
Despite his outstanding achievements, the rest of his descendants could really say that mud could not hold up the wall, so Chun Yuliang did not expect much from them.
Therefore, what he was fighting for in this battle was not his own merits, but the generals he had cultivated over the years and his son Chun Yucen who was still in Huainan. After all, Chun Yuliang's merits and official positions had reached their peak. Once he still made some achievements, according to the
As usual, these rewards will naturally fall on his generals and heirs.
When the generals he cultivated will be promoted and his sons will be rewarded, the Chunyu family will be able to continue to support and even flourish.
This is the responsibility that Chunyu must consider and bear as the head of a wealthy family.
Looking up at the city that was shrouded in flames of war not far ahead, Chun Yuliang took a deep breath. After his order was issued, the army that was originally just a tentative attack had gone all out, with flags waving one by one and they rushed towards the city.
At the front, the young generals who were stimulated by Chun Yuliang rolled up their sleeves, waved their swords, roared loudly, and took the lead in the charge.
Suizhou City, which seemed to be unbreakable before, suddenly became a trembling lamb in the mouth of the wolves.
There were more than 2,000 defenders in Suizhou City. They could not hold out for more than 10,000 people in the face of Chunyu Liang's attack for the third day. I don't know what kind of courage Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian had to stand in Zhangshan County.
Do you know how long they can last?
Chun Yuliang didn't watch the war in Suizhou. The city of Suizhou was just in his pocket. The old man just faced the west - the direction of Zhangshan County and murmured to himself:
"That's all I can do. If you still have the ability to survive until after this battle, I would be very interested in meeting you."

Jiankang Mansion, Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.
"Capture Xiao Kui alive?!" Looking at Wu Mingche who was in a hurry to enter the palace and was sweating profusely, Chen Xu's expression changed again and again. His hand trembled slightly and he reached out to pick up the eight-hundred-mile express report that Wu Mingche personally sent.
.
This express report, which only has a thin piece of paper, traveled eight hundred miles a day and was delivered to Chen Xu's desk. I don't know how many people were exhausted and how many horses were exhausted. Perhaps it was because of the sweat of these people,
Or perhaps it was because of every figure fighting for his life on the battlefield thousands of miles away that this meager report fell into Chen Xu's hands, weighing as much as a thousand pieces.
Wu Mingche gasped and nodded, while Princess Lechang on the side took a cup of tea from the eunuch and handed it to Wu Mingche, smiled slightly, turned around and retreated into the shadows.
Although I don't know why Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has not been seen for a while, came to the Imperial Study Room again, that is not what Wu Mingche is paying attention to now. The piece of information in Chen Xu's hand is enough to attract all his attention.
"Capture Xiao Kui alive, capture Xiao Kui alive..." Chen Xu murmured, pacing back and forth excitedly, "Okay, well done, well done!"
Xiao Kui fled nine years ago. It stands to reason that Nan Chen could have bypassed Jiangling City and attacked Ji Nan. However, Wu Mingche was too cautious at that time. The sentries sent to the north were all concentrated in the direction of Xiangyang in the northeast and did not pay attention to the northwest.
Ji Nancheng was just around the corner, so by the time Nan Chen got the news, it was already too late. The Northern Zhou cavalry came like a wave, so Wu Mingche had to return in spite of his prey.
This time Xiao Kui repeated his old tricks, thinking that he could use this dark method to save his life from Nan Chen. However, everything about him was eventually seen through. The Nan Chen army descended from the sky and killed Xiao Kui and most of the Xi Liang troops.
The royal family is here to wrap things up.
In that battle nine years ago, Wu Mingche was commanding at the front line, and the regent at the time in Baling was Chen Xu. During this battle, Xiao Kui was allowed to hide under his nose for so long.
It was Wu Mingche’s regret, but how could it not be Chen Xu’s regret?
Chen Xu picked up the bulletin again, read every word on it line by line, and murmured: "Pei Zilie, Xiao Shilian, Li Xingchen... are very good. These three young people are very good. They made a surprise move and fought."
My great authority!"
Wu Mingche smiled slightly: "These three young men made suggestions and led the army to charge in the last battle of Luliang. They have made many achievements. They have made new achievements this time. They are indeed worthy of praise."
And Princess Lechang, who had been silent all the time, also heard the three names repeated by her father and chewed them in her heart. The most unexpected one, but within her understanding, was probably "Li Xingchen"
"Those three words.
That young man who doesn’t have the slightest trace of the oil-toned face of a young man from an aristocratic family, his unrestrained and elegant poems, his steady and even forbearing character... Although they haven’t seen each other for a long time, and even heard the name, Lechang still feels the same at this moment
Somewhat dazed.
Sure enough, gold will always shine. This battle in Jiangling gave him far better opportunities and a broader world than in this oppressive and dull capital, allowing him to soar into the sky.
Chen Xu's face turned red. If he were ten or twenty years younger, Chen Xu would have been unable to contain his excitement. He rushed out with his sword in hand to gather the troops and rushed to the front line.
"What happened after we captured Xiao Kui?" Chen Xu flipped through the battle report, "They went north to Zhangshan County?"
The smile on Wu Mingche's face also subsided at this time, and he nodded solemnly: "Not only are they going north to Zhangshan County to resist Yuchi Jiong, but they only have three thousand people..."
