No matter how you say it, Li Xingchen is the most authoritative among everyone present. If Li Xingchen speaks rashly, then I am afraid that after he finishes speaking, the people below will only agree. Even if there are real objections, no one will dare to
He came to completely deny it, so he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.
Only by knowing what everyone is thinking can he integrate everyone's views, merge them with his own, and finally make a judgment.
Xiao Shilian nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Now our army is fully capable of directly attacking Suizhou and threatening Langzhong. Therefore, whether it is Yuchi Jiong or Wei Xiaokuan, they will definitely take the Micang Road to intercept Langzhong and threaten our army's flanks. Only in this way can we finally ensure that Shu County is safe. And Langzhong
After we defend it, we can join forces with the soldiers and horses in Bazhong. At that time, whether from Shu County, Langzhong, or going south from Bazhong, we can take advantage of the high ground and build a strategic position, and our army will be unable to defend it."
The surrounding generals looked at each other and agreed.
Shu County, Langzhong and Bazhong all have rivers that lead directly to Hezhou, and after Hezhou is Ba County. This is why Li Xingchen is determined to capture Hezhou as quickly as possible, otherwise the enemy will rush all the way.
Even with the three-pronged attack, Li Xingchen couldn't resist. Now that Hezhou has been occupied, at least the entrance to the north of Bajun has been blocked. Even if Li Xingchen can't get out, the enemy can't get in so easily.
Now that Yuchi Jong arrived in Hanzhong first, if he and Wei Xiaokuan really decided to divide their forces into two groups, it would be Yuchi Jong who took the Micang Road.
"In addition to Hezhou, there is also Luzhou." Chen Zhishen said, "If the enemy fails to take Hezhou directly, he may divide his troops to take Luzhou first. Once Luzhou is lost, Ba County's flank will be opened, and there will not be much to defend Hezhou.
significance."
"Luzhou and Hezhou are certainly dangerous, but we don't have many soldiers and horses. It's not that easy to defend the city." Dai Cai frowned slightly, "Once Yuchi Jiong or Wei Xiaokuan want to besiege but not attack, they can be held back even if they are delayed.
We will continue until we run out of ammunition and food."
Dai Cai pointed out the crux of the problem in one sentence, and everyone immediately fell silent and looked up at Li Xingchen.
Their expectant and eager eyes undoubtedly told Li Xingchen that as long as they were given sufficient troops, money and food, they would not be afraid whether it was Yuchi Jiong or Wei Xiaokuan, or even two people coming together, and they would just have a vigorous fight.
But Li Xingchen just quietly welcomed all the eyes.
He didn't have soldiers, horses, money or food.
Moreover, Li Xunchen did not expect Chen Xu to do it for him. Li Xinchen asked himself that he knew a little about Chen Xu. He was a typical tycoon, and the so-called tyrant naturally meant that he could do ruthless things that others could not do.
Now that Li Xinchen has held back Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan in Bashu alone, Chen Xu will definitely not be stupid enough to give all the money and food to Li Xinchen. This will only make Li Xinchen gain power in vain. Now the Nanchen court already has its own power.
In the East Palace of the system, there can no longer be a self-contained Li Xingchen.
Therefore, Li Xingchen knew very well that Chen Xu would definitely launch an attack in the direction of Huainan and Jingzhou. Regardless of whether Xiao Mohe in Jingzhou would obey Chen Xu's orders, at least Wu Mingche in Huainan would not disobey Chen Xu.
But in Li Xingchen's view, Chen Xu seemed to have overlooked something...
Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty sent two generals to Bashu, the two men commanded only 50,000 soldiers and horses. In the eyes of many people, 50,000 soldiers and horses were already overkill to deal with Li Xinchen, but Li Xinchen knew clearly that when this happened
When 50,000 soldiers and horses were thrown into the rugged mountains and rivers of Bashu, they were actually just generals.
So where did the remaining troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty go?
Li Xingchen never naively thought that there were only two capable generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan. Not to mention Wang Gui, who was still in Huaibei, there were also He Ruobi, Han Qinhu, Gao Xi, and many other famous generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
, just because they didn't get a chance to show off.
What's more, Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian, who are currently competing in the court of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, are not two important generals.
No matter who among these people led the army to resist Nanchen, Li Jinchen did not dare to guarantee that Nanchen would win. Even Li Xingchen suspected that this was a trap carefully set by the Northern Zhou Dynasty for Nanchen.
But if that's the case... Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian are not as easy to deal with as imagined.
"Your Majesty... I have to let you prove this issue." Li Xingchen couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "I will fight this battle well. I just hope you don't play with fire."
After reciting silently in his mind, Li Xingchen suddenly raised his head: "I know you are short of food, and you are not afraid of the shortage of soldiers! Since the imperial court does not want to give us soldiers and horses, money and food, then we will go to the people of Zhou to ask for it."
Suddenly, the entire meeting hall was silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with surprise.
Asking the Zhou people for help, does his general want to surrender to the Zhou people?
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie looked at Li Xinchen at the same time, but they needed a suitable explanation for what Li Xinchen wanted to do.
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and put a little bit on the sand table: "No matter whether Yuchi Jiong wants to take Micang Road or not, we can't wait in Hezhou. Before Yuchi Jiong arrives, we will directly take Suizhou (today's Suining) and at the same time take it from Luzhou.
Go north and attack Zizhou (today's Ziyang), thereby threatening Shu County with a strong force, and you can even attack Shu County directly!"
"Attack Shu County?" Xiao Shilian repeated it nonchalantly, feeling that he heard it wrong. Even though he always boasted of being bold, he found it incredible when he heard Li Xingchen's plan.
Pei Zilie and others were even more stunned.
At this time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty gathered a large army, preparing to kill all Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen did not guard Bajun well, and even attacked Shujun. What is the difference between this and suicide?
Li Xingchen nodded solemnly and told everyone that there was nothing wrong with their ears: "We don't have reinforcements now, and we don't even have enough money and food. If we stick to Bajun, it is tantamount to asking for death, so the most risky and easiest way to break the situation is
The best way is to push the battle line out. The enemy wants to block someone in Ba County, so we might as well intercept them in Shu County!"
After a pause, Li Xingchen had a ferocious expression on his face: "We don't have enough soldiers and horses, so we can recruit Ba people from other tribes along the way. We don't have enough money and food, so we can go directly to the enemy's treasury or go to the enemy's fields."
Harvest, I believe that Shu County, known as the 'Land of Abundance', will not be completely poor even if the harvest was poor last year."
Xiao Shilian took a deep breath and looked at Pei Zilie.
Pei Zilie's fists were clenched tightly, and he was in a daze. In an instant, he didn't know whether he was defending or attacking.
But in other words, isn't sometimes offense the best defense?
Anyway, as Li Xingchen said, apart from this method, their only option is to sit back and wait for death.
Sitting back and waiting for death... Pei Zilie was really unwilling to do so.
I’m afraid no one present would be willing to accept it.
