Li Xinchen frowned and looked at the emergency report. Pei Zilie's handwriting was a bit sloppy, which meant that he was confused when he learned the news. However, Li Xinchen always felt that something was wrong, so he just stared at every word, as if to
Eat this thin piece of paper in one bite.
Yu Chijiong, Wei Xiaokuan·····
Li Xingchen recited these two names over and over again in his heart, two names that are enough to inspire people in this era.
Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xingchen quietly. He had already expected that Li Xingchen would have such an expression, but then a smile appeared on Li Xingchen's face, which made Xiao Shilian unable to understand: "When has this happened? It must have been this year."
, Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan are coming to wish us a Happy New Year, you are still in the mood to laugh."
It is already the end of the year, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty will certainly not easily mobilize troops. After all, even if they want to launch an attack, the soldiers below may not have such thoughts, so the attack will most likely be postponed until the spring of next year.
But no matter when they attack, is there any difference for the Northern Zhou Dynasty?
The lineup of Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan is already an out-and-out "killing a chicken with a bull's-eye". Even in the minds of most people, there is no need to use any cunning tactics at all, as long as they push all the way with a majestic formation, they can completely crush them.
Suppress Li Xinchen.
Li Xingchen calmly handed the urgent report to Xiao Shilian again, stood up and stretched: "Don't you think these two candidates are interesting?"
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Knowing that his brain was not easy to use, and it was even more empty at this critical moment, Xiao Shilian simply stopped thinking and stamped his feet and said: "Okay, how long have you been showing off!"
Li Xingchen pointed to the urgent report: "Yu Chi Jiong is in front, Wei Xiaokuan is behind. Yu Chi Jiong's transfer order has come down, but Wei Xiaokuan's has not yet, but there is a good chance that he will come down... Bo Qing, you
Don’t you think something is wrong?”
"You mean Wei Xiaokuan might not come to Bashu at all?" Xiao Shilian also looked happy, but he immediately shook his head, "Even without Wei Xiaokuan, Yu Chijiong is so easy to deal with?! Shizhong, don't think you've been defeated.
If Yuchi fights against him once, he can easily defeat him next time."
Li Xingchen chuckled: "Wei Xiaokuan is definitely coming, so don't think too much about it."
Xiao Shilian was startled, then frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"Boqing, don't forget," Li Xingchen said calmly, "whose person is Wei Xiaokuan, and whose person is Yuchijiong?"
"Hiss!" Xiao Shilian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Although Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong were both figures in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, their relationship was not very good. In the final analysis, it was actually an increasingly tense relationship between Xianbei and the Han people. Wei Xiaokuan was not a person who liked to play tricks.
Therefore, I had clearly stood on Yang Jian's side before and spoke out in support of Yang Jian without hesitation on several major decisions.
Needless to say, Yuchi Jiong had no good impression of Yang Jian at all, and I didn’t hear of any interaction with Wei Xiaokuan. Previously, the two of them were guarding the south and the north respectively, so at least they would not have any chance to interact, but
Now that the two of them are allowed to lead troops into Shu, behind this is not only the issue of annihilating Li Xingchen, but also involves two interest systems that have formed a climate and are confronting each other in the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Speaking of this, Li Xingchen was also quite helpless. Obviously, the person presiding over the affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could not be Yu Wen Yun, a monarch who only knew about eating, drinking and having fun, but the most talented King of Qi Yu Wen Xian and Yu Wen Yun's father-in-law.
Yang Jian.
It was precisely because Li Xingchen concocted the Battle of Jiangling that Nanchen suddenly opened up the situation in Jingzhou, which made it impossible for Yu Wenxian to resolutely retreat to the second line to avoid suspicion as in history. Now the situation in the world has become more complicated and far away.
It was not like the Northern Zhou Dynasty had an absolute advantage in another time and space, so it was absolutely impossible for Yu Wenxian to refuse Yu Wenyong's entrustment.
This also caused the Northern Zhou Dynasty to evolve from the situation in another time and space where Yang Jian's family was the dominant one and Yuchi was on the outside to the current confrontation between the two powers.
If Yang Jian wants to integrate the power of a country as he did in history, it will not be that easy.
Therefore, Li Xingchen also had a share of "contribution" to the situation that the Northern Zhou Dynasty became like.
More importantly, before Yu Wenyun, the new emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, expressed his attitude and opinions, Yu Wenxian now had the advantage, and Yang Jian could only be regarded as his deputy.
Of course, this is what Li Xingchen is happy to see. Although he has never imagined that Yu Wenyong's most trusted and relied-upon brother will be an ordinary person, at least it will be easier to deal with than Yang Jian, the great emperor who single-handedly created the Sui and Tang Dynasties...
···
But now that Yu Chijiong actually has the ability and strength to pacify Bashu, the Northern Zhou Dynasty still sent Wei Xiaokuan, which naturally questioned and restrained Yuchi Jiong. As for whether Yang Jian wanted to contain Yu Wenxian behind this, Li Xingchen
He and Xiao Shilian are not involved, so naturally they cannot comment favorably.
But one thing is for sure, even if the two veterans who entered Shu do not show conflicts on the surface, they will definitely not deal with each other in private!
Xiao Shilian considered it and said: "Shizhong, according to what you said, this battle is not impossible to win. Have you thought about where and how to fight?"
Li Xingchen shook his head: "Of course not. Hezhou and Luzhou have just been conquered. We are most short of troops now. If we want to fight, how can it be so easy..."
Then his voice lowered and he said to himself: "It would be best if we can push the front out without causing damage to the southern counties and Bajun that have already started construction..."
Xiao Shilian was speechless for a moment and could only shake his head with a wry smile.
This guy really dares to think!
At this time, Li Ping walked over quickly: "General Qi, the Tang Prefect is outside the door asking for an audience. He said that the Pu people have sent someone to contact the Tang family in Xiajiang!"
"Pu Ren?" Xiao Shilian repeated in astonishment, obviously the name was a bit unfamiliar, but he quickly realized it, clapped his hands fiercely, and said with a smile, "Whatever we lack, whatever we need will come to our door!"
"
Li Xingchen also showed a relaxed look on his face and nodded slightly: "It is reasonable for these Ba people to be unable to sit still. Now it is no longer Yuchi Jionger or Wei Xiaokuan that I need to worry about."
"Huh?" Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xingchen in surprise.
"What I am worried about now is that the court thousands of miles away should not use this opportunity to intervene." Li Xingchen subconsciously looked to the east, "With the Ba people coming to vote, I am already confident that I can support this situation by myself, but if
If someone stabs you in the back, even if you have extraordinary abilities, you will have no choice but to defend Bajun."
