The expressions of Xiao Mohe, Zhou Que and others changed. Even Chen Shubao, who was already drowsy in the seat above, opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the position of Li Xingchen's fingers.
There was a fiery light in everyone's eyes.
They knew very well that Li Xingchen's plan was a bit audacious and even whimsical. Compared with this plan, the previous debate about whether to bypass Xiangyang or attack Xiangyang became so safe and even unprogressive.
When I think about it, Nan Chen can attack Guanzhong from Bashu, Xiangyang from Jiangling, and Huaibei from Huainan. They can advance in three directions and sweep through thousands of troops. Zhou Que, Mao Xi, and even Gu Yewang and Luo Ya who are just here to make soy sauce,
Everyone felt their blood boiling.
Nan Chen has been suppressed by the Northern Dynasty in recent years. If this plan succeeds, then Bashu's vast land, abundant resources, and wealth that has not been invaded by war in these years will become an important boost to Nan Chen. Hundreds of years ago, the Qin Dynasty was
He rose to prominence by acquiring Bashu!
Once Bashu is in possession, Nanchen will turn around and take advantage.
Officials such as King Gu Ye and Luo Ya who were dealing with Li Xingchen for the first time looked curiously at the youngest general in Nanchen. Generals such as Zhou Que and even Lu Guangda were even more excited and wanted to lead their troops to attack now.
Bashu, plant the flag of Nanchen on every inch of land in this land of abundance.
And Xiao Mohe also vaguely sensed something. Li Xingchen was keenly aware of the weakness of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Sichuan and Shu. This was something he had never noticed before. He even argued with Zhou Que and other civil servants over the gains and losses of the city of Xiangyang.
Got to blush.
Once Nanchen captures Bashu, not only will he control the upper reaches of the river, but even the upper reaches of the Mian River. Nanchen's navy will move down the river, and the entire Xiangyang will be in awe of Nanchen's navy.
!
At the same time, North and South Chen could send troops out of Hanzhong to threaten the flanks of Guanzhong. You must know that Guanzhong is the real foundation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. If Guanzhong is lost, will the Northern Zhou Dynasty still be in the mood to care about Xiangyang? By then, Xiangyang will be nothing more than Nan Chen's pocket.
.
Li Xingchen did not explain all this too much, because he had already made it very clear that Nanchen would have a complete strategic advantage, and this meant that no matter which direction the attack was directed, Nanchen would take the initiative.
"Longzhong is right!" Three words appeared in Xiao Mohe's mind, but he immediately changed his mind.
To be precise, it is an enhanced version of Longzhong!
Of course, Xiao Mohe didn't know that this was actually just Li Xingchen copying the defense system of the Southern Song Dynasty seven hundred years later. The Southern Song Dynasty used the snake of Changshan posture to guard key points from Huainan in the east to Dashanguan in the west, making it possible to attack.
It took a lot of effort for the Jurchens and Mongols in the north to retreat and defend. Even during the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei regained the Central Plains in one fell swoop. If Qin Hui had not been in power and Gaozong was selfish, it would not have been impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty to regain the world.
In fact, this was also true in the first half of the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty, which encompassed the south, even took the initiative several times. Even if it suffered a defeat, it was still able to retreat calmly and accumulate strength. It relied on this system, but it was a pity that the Southern Dynasty
In the late Liang Dynasty, the east and west were divided, and the Western Wei Dynasty took this opportunity to conquer Bashu in one fell swoop, leaving only the middle and lower reaches of the river in the Southern Dynasties. The tail of the snake was cut off, and it could only passively defend.
What Li Xingchen has to do now is to help Nan Chen build this snake-like situation again!
Quietly looking at Li Xingchen, Xiao Mohe felt for the first time that there seemed to be some elusive gap between himself and this old friend, and that he was lagging behind him.
A young man is better than a young man. If you have a son like this, I am afraid that Li Cheng, the benefactor of the Xiao family, will be able to rest in peace in the underworld.
Li Xingchen did not further analyze the pros and cons. None of the people present were fools. He said it all and there was no need for further explanation. The surroundings were completely silent, telling Li Xingchen that no one would refute or object.
At that moment, he took a step forward and looked up at Chen Shubao. Chen Shubao was obviously completely attracted by Li Xingchen's plan, with expectation in his eyes.
This time, Chen Xu asked Chen Shubao to lead a mission to the west. Of course, he was not just asking Chen Shubao to present the rewards - if it was just for this, Wu Mingche or Xu Ling would be more suitable than Chen Shubao - but he was expecting Chen Shubao to be able to communicate with Dong Gong.
Build a good relationship with these civil and military generals who are destined to become the mainstay of Nanchen in the future, and if Chen Shubao can do something, it will naturally be better.
If we can come up with a strategy to break the current deadlock, it will be a great achievement for Chen Shubao.
By then, maybe my father will have much less supervision and punishment on me!
Chen Shubao looked at Li Xinchen as if he were looking at his own savior.
No wonder Mr. Shen said he wanted to have more contact with Li Xingchen. Mr. Shen sincerely refused to deceive me.
At that moment, Chen Shubao looked at Li Xingchen with a smile: "Shizhong, do you think we should leave Xinzhou?"
Chen Shubao directly called Li Xingchen by his first name when he came up, which made Li Xingchen slightly stunned. The surrounding officials looked at Li Xingchen in surprise. They could imagine how much help and benefit Li Xingchen would bring to Chen Shubao by proposing such a plan, but they did not
Thinking of it, Chen Shubao directly expressed his trust in Li Xingchen in the simplest way.
It is not so easy for superiors and subordinates to call each other by their cousins, which shows that Chen Shubao already regards Li Xingchen as a semi-confidant.
Li Xingchen came back to his senses, stepped forward and said: "The Zhou Kingdom has not many troops stationed in Bashu. They are mainly concentrated in Chengdu Mansion, Jiange and other important towns and passes in Bashu. As we all know, the terrain of Bashu is dangerous. As long as
If you control these important towns and passes, you will actually control most of Bashu."
After a pause, Li Xingchen's hand pointed westward from Xinzhou. Apparently he had already done his homework:
"From Xinzhou to the west, it is the rainy season in summer, and the water on the river is rich, enough for the Huanglong ship to pass, so we can go straight to Badong through Xiling. Although the barbarians have heavy troops stationed in Badong, but this so-called
Most of the 'heavy troops' are recruited from local mountain people, poor children, who do not have much sense of belonging to the barbarians, and looking at the entire Bashu, the barbarian generals who have been famous for a long time are not there, so the defenders in Badong are not afraid at all."
Immediately afterwards, Li Xingchen stretched out his hand from Badong to Chengdu: "Although the barbarians took Bashu for a long time, their attention has been on the east and south. For Bashu, they actually rely on local power. Once our army invades the border, among the powerful people in these places
Not to mention that everyone will be on our side, but there will definitely be people who will come to seek refuge, and as long as we promise benefits, the entire Chengdu will be under our control!"
Xiao Mohe and others looked with sharp eyes at the direction and location pointed by Li Xingchen on the map. It was a place they had never thought of before and did not dare to imagine.
I'm afraid the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty wouldn't have thought of it either.
