Of course the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would not have thought of this, and Li Xingchen was convinced of this. Because in history, the Northern Zhou Dynasty ignored Bashu, which had the advantage of occupying the upper reaches of Nanchen because it did not have a strong navy.
It was not until the Sui Dynasty went south that it sent Yang Su into Bashu, integrated the Bashu army, and built a five-tooth warship specifically designed to restrain the Huanglong ship. This was considered as the official choice to make the move down the river from Bashu a key business.
So now Bashu is just a piece of fat meat for Nan Chen. As for whether to eat it and how to eat it, it all depends on the decision of the people standing in this meeting hall at this moment.
Zhou Que and Xiao Mohe set their sights on Chen Shubao at the same time. No matter how you say it, Chen Shubao is the prince of Nanchen. In the end, he will have to make a decision on this matter. Of course, Chen Shubao's decision also means that no matter whether he wins or loses in the future,
He has to bear the responsibility first.
This is the responsibility of being the prince of Nanchen, and neither Zhou Que nor Xiao Mohe can help him share it.
However, it seemed that Chen Shubao was not aware of this. He looked at the area pointed by Li Xingchen on the map with great interest, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really a big place. I don't know who General Li thinks should be responsible for the comparison."
suitable?"
Immediately, eyes turned to Li Xingchen. Needless to say, he knew that if he marched westward, the commander would definitely be Li Xingchen. After all, it was Li Xingchen who proposed this plan, and Li Xingchen himself was a military general. Of course, he would not use this opportunity to make achievements.
Throw it to others.
The important thing is that Li Xinchen cannot be alone in this westward expedition. After all, Bashu is so big. If he wants to sweep Bashu as quickly as possible, Li Xinchen cannot do it by himself, so how can he insert his own children into this area?
In an army that is destined to have outstanding achievements once it succeeds, this is something that everyone present must ponder.
Following Li Xingchen brings merit, which has been fully confirmed by Pei Zilie, Xiao Shilian and others.
"The general is willing to take on this important task for Da Chen!" Li Xingchen said solemnly.
Chen Shubao was obviously very satisfied with Li Xingchen's initiative to ask for help, and in other words, he was very satisfied with the fact that he didn't have to worry about it as others would jump in and share the burden: "If General Li is confident, then go ahead and do it. We can't do it in Jiangling City."
I feel aggrieved, in this way, as long as you can capture Badong, I will tell my father that you will be the governor of Badong!"
Badong Prefect? The surrounding officials looked at Li Xinchen with envy. At Li Xinchen's age, he was already the only one in Nanchen who had the title of general. If there was another prefect, or even a real prefect, then
He is truly the well-deserved first person since the founding of Nanchen!
You must know that many people present have been in official circles for half their lives before they were able to climb to this position.
I don’t know if Chen Shubao really didn’t realize what kind of promise he had made to Li Xingchen, or he also wanted to take this opportunity to completely tie Li Xingchen to the chariot in the East Palace, so facing Gu Yewang, Luo Ya and others
Chen Shubao was indifferent to the questioning looks of officials who were not actually members of the Donggong system.
And Zhou Que and others didn't say anything. Li Xingchen was originally from the East Palace, and his contribution to the East Palace was remarkable, so being able to tie up Li Xingchen with a Badong prefect was a good deal for the East Palace.
What's more, Li Xingchen is now Xiao Maha's subordinate. He doesn't look at the face of hatred and the face of Buddha. There is no need for Zhou Que and others to have any conflict with Xiao Maha at this time.
Although the East Palace is powerful now, it is not so powerful that it can be divided internally!
And Li Xingchen took a deep breath. He knew that when Chen Shubao said these words, his efforts and thinking for so many days had not been in vain. He immediately stepped forward and solemnly handed over his hand: "The final general must live up to his mission! In addition,
The selection of the remaining generals for this expedition and the selection of the army soldiers will be discussed in detail with the Hussars General and we will strive to dispatch the troops within half a month!"
Chen Shubao stretched out his hand and patted the armrest of the chair. His eyes, which had always been squinted, now widened: "Okay! I'm looking forward to the good news from General Li!"
Chen Shubao had already said this, so naturally there was no room for further refutation or change. The civil and military officials all looked at Li Xingchen and put away their envy and jealousy, because next they had to have a good relationship with the young General Li.
Let’s talk.
Compared with the civil and military officials with different expressions, Li Xingchen looked quite calm at this time.
Perhaps most people present thought that this was Chen Shubao tying Li Xinchen to the chariot in the East Palace, but in Li Xinchen's heart, this was Chen Shubao tying him to his own chariot. This time the troops were sent to Bashu, Li Xinchen did not
There is some certainty, and if there is any accident, compared to Xiao Mohe, Chen Shubao's backer will obviously be stronger and taller.
What's more, there is an unexpected harvest today.
Li Xingchen glanced at Gu Yewang and Luo Ya who were sitting aside. These two civil servants, who were just here to make soy sauce, had begun to feel restless.
Neither Guanglu Qing nor Sanqi Changshi are positions with real power. In other words, they are "Qinggui". Although Qinggui means not having much power, it can also avoid being involved in the whirlpool of court struggles, at least without having to do so.
Worrying about the danger of ruining your reputation day and night is not necessarily a bad thing.
But now King Gu Ye and Luo Ya are sitting in this meeting hall. After hearing Li Xingchen's plan, they also heard the most important plan of the East Palace. The success of the westward march to Bashu will be related to whether the East Palace will continue to grow or be hit.
If this plan is leaked and someone does everything possible to thwart it, then the East Palace may fall into a place of no return if it is not careful.
After all, once Li Xingchen's plan is followed to go west to Bashu, it will not only be Li Xingchen who will be involved, including Xiao Mohe, Zhou Que, and Shen Jungao who are still in Jiankang Mansion, and even those who stand clearly in the East Palace.
Sikong Wu Mingche on one side will be involved because of their strong cooperation, so the confidentiality of this news is self-evident.
Beads of sweat had appeared on Gu Yewang's forehead. At this moment, he really regretted why he didn't find an excuse to leave the place of trouble. At this time, Xiao Mohe, Zhou Que and others looked at him.
I felt threatened or even murderous.
Although he is not at the core of power, he also knows what kind of power these people hold in their hands. What's more, he is in Jiangling City now, and everyone who takes three steps outside is from the East Palace. If he says the wrong thing, he may not be able to
Find a way to return to Jiankang Mansion alive.
Compared with Gu Yewang, Luo Ya's expression was obviously more excited and expectant. He was younger than Gu Yewang, and the Luo family was just an insignificant small family. If it hadn't been for the chance to save the family during the war,
After the death of Emperor Chen Wen and Chen Qian, I am afraid that he would not even have a chance to gain a foothold in the Chen Dynasty. Therefore, Luo Ya's ability to get to where he is today is probably due to his own hard work.
However, a small casual knight cannot bring Luo Ya and the Luo family a respectable status. Therefore, if they can establish contact with the East Palace, it will be a dream for both Luo Ya and the Luo family.
