Pei Zilie has always been a calm, informal character, but now he even knows how to tease, which shows that he is in a really good mood.
And Pei Zilie's mood is not the same as that of Li Xingchen and others present?
Now they are standing in this city thousands of miles away from Jiankang Mansion, far away from the real emperor. No matter where they look, it will be a direction that they can attack and conquer at will. This kind of joy without imprisonment or restraint
, how can it be compared to what it was in Jiankang Mansion or Jiangling?
Pei Zilie quickly walked into the meeting hall. In fact, he had been waiting impatiently for the order to enter Shu in the past few months. After all, Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian were invincible in Bajun, but he could only stare in Jiangling City.
The more important problem is that because Li Xingchen made too fast progress in Bashu, Yuchi Jiong, who had originally assembled a heavy army to attack Jiangling, simply retreated with his troops, obviously not intending to get too entangled with Xiao Mohe and others.
After all, Nan Chen lined up Ren Zhong, Xiao Mohe and Chun Yuliang in Jingzhou. Especially the former Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang were both veteran generals who had been famous for many years. Even if they couldn't stop Yuchi Jiong, he wanted to
It's more than enough to just entangle him.
Once Yuchi Jong is trapped in the battlefield of Jiangling, he will face a vicious cycle where the enemy may retreat at any time, and he must capture Jiangling to be considered a gain. And when Yuchi Jong steps to the foot of Jiangling City, maybe
Li Xinchen had already taken the entire Bashu into his pocket. By then, not only Jiangling, but also Xiangyang would be downstream of Li Xinchen. He might launch a new attack at any time and completely cut off Yuchijiong's connection with the north.
Therefore, Yuchijiong will definitely not attack Jiangling foolishly, but will seek to counterattack Bashu. Therefore, if the situation develops like it is now, the fundamental reason why Pei Zilie has been sitting on the bench in Jiangling for so long is that Li Xingchen moved too fast.
.
Of course, Li Xinchen only captured Bajun. It will take some time for him to completely digest and absorb Bajun. However, during this period of time, it does not prevent Li Xinchen from taking action on his next target.
Li Xingchen pulled Pei Zilie into the meeting hall quickly: "Come on, there is something good that was just completed yesterday that even Bo Qing has not seen yet. Today, Master, you are here, and it is just right for you two to come and review the details together."
There is also a large plate placed in the middle of the meeting hall, and the sand is piled up in high and low shapes on the plate. The names of Bashu towns are marked between these high and low sand dunes. If you study carefully, you will find the shape of these sand dunes.
The shape is almost the same as the mountains in Bashu.
A somewhat nondescript sand table appeared in front of Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie. Both of them had experienced battles, and they already understood the key after just a few glances. They could see it through eye contact.
The other person’s surprise.
Xiao Shilian couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "I didn't expect that Shizhong, you and Master Ouyang had been tinkering for several days, and they would come up with such a good thing."
They know very well that fighting in Bashu is far less than fighting in Jinghu or Jiangnan. Jiangnan and Jinghu are more water towns and plains, so ordinary maps are enough to deal with it. But Bashu is different, with mountains and mountains of different heights.
Swirling and turbulent rivers often mean that a short distance marked on a map takes a long time to complete.
Now that they have such a three-dimensional sand table, they can naturally analyze the current situation of the Bashu war more easily.
Li Xingchen didn't say much, stretched out his hand and tapped on the sand table: "The main problem we are facing now is here. On one side is Hezhou, on the other side is Luzhou. A certain person has ordered Cao Zhong to garrison Geleshan, and Chen Zhishen has even led
We marched with soldiers and horses against Hejiang."
"Hejiang has entered the territory of Luzhou. Shizhong, do you want to attack Luzhou?" Pei Zilie said carefully. Li Xinchen's arrangement was to attack and defend at the same time. The situation was naturally obvious.
However, Li Xingchen shook his head: "No, to be precise, we should fight on both sides. You see, whether we attack Luzhou or Hezhou, it means that our army's front will be stretched, and then the flanks may be attacked at any time.
There is a danger of being exposed to the enemy's front, so I want to take down both places in one go."
"Will this be difficult?" Pei Zilie couldn't help but frowned. Li Xingchen didn't have many troops now, and Hezhou and Luzhou were both strong cities in Bashu - or in other words, every city in Bashu was out of control.
It is famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is easy to take down a city, but it is difficult to divide the troops at the same time.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "It's definitely difficult, otherwise I wouldn't be able to call the master over."
Pei Zilie nodded slightly, and Xiao Shilian also said seriously: "This is true, but as Shizhong said, it is impossible for us not to fight. The easiest way is to use the bow from both sides. Start by attacking Bajun and attack Baidi City.
, attacking the three counties of Linjiang, and then attacking Ba County, when we first started, no one could have imagined that we could actually get to this point, so according to a certain point of view, this battle between Bashu and Shu was an unexpected one!"
Pei Zilie did not comment on Xiao Shilian's words. He just stretched out his hand to hold his chin and carefully looked at the situation on the sand table. After a long time, he slowly said: "Shizhong, when do you plan to take action? Next spring?"
Li Xingchen shook his head: "Seven days, or ten days, it's just around the corner anyway. As long as it doesn't snow, someone will dare to attack."
Raising his eyebrows, Pei Zilie was a little surprised: "Did you act too hastily?"
Li Xingchen smiled bitterly: "It will be another two or three months until next spring. Do we still have so much time now? Look at it, Master. One of Hezhou and Luzhou is guarding the upper reaches of the Han River, and the other is guarding the upper reaches of the river.
It is to control the Ming Gate of Bajun, so I must not let these two places continue to be in the hands of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will not be I who attacks these two cities, but the enemy will come out from these two places to deal with me.
"
Pei Zilie nodded slightly. He knew what Li Xinchen was worried about. After all, the enemy forces in Guanzhong in the north and Xiangyang in the northeast could not just watch the entire Bashu fall into Li Xinchen's hands easily. When next spring begins, I am afraid the Northern Zhou Dynasty will launch an attack first.
With a gentle breath, Pei Zilie turned to look at Li Xingchen: "Shizhong, tell me, how are we going to fight this battle?"
Li Xingchen responded, knowing that Pei Zilie had already agreed to his plan: "Needless to say, Bo Qing, Chen Zhishen is already in Hejiang, and you are also preparing to leave. I can give you a month. I want to see you before the end of the year.
Luzhou has been captured."
"That's no problem." Xiao Shilian nodded hastily. He had Chen Zhishen's troops and the navy's assistance, so he was very confident.
