Among the people present, Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others have been fighting against the Northern Zhou Dynasty for a long time, not to mention Dai Cai and other surrendered generals. They have already surrendered once, so naturally it is impossible for them to surrender again now. As a man in the world, naturally
It is impossible to do such a back-tracking thing.
As for Du Qi, the last remaining young leader of the Pu people, there is a lot of blood feud between the Pu people and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Naturally, there is no possibility of surrendering to the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Du Qi's choice. He has not foolishly thought that the Northern Zhou Dynasty will really
Regardless of past grudges.
Therefore, the people standing in this meeting hall come from different places and have different backgrounds, but there are not many choices for them to make. As Li Xingchen said, besides sitting back and waiting for death, the only possibility for them is to fight out directly.
"Shizhong, just say what you mean." Pei Zilie said in a deep voice.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly. Although Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian had discussed for a long time before, they actually discussed where the enemy would attack from. In Li Xingchen's view, it didn't matter where Yuchi Jionger or Wei Xiaokuan attacked from, because they would both be
It's up to him to decide.
Pointing his finger on the sand table, Li Xingchen said loudly: "Now the Zhou people are shrinking their defense line. Suizhou, Zizhou and other places on the outer line are already empty cities. Since the cities are empty, it is estimated that all the treasuries inside have been looted, so we can
There is no need to station troops there. What I really want is here."
Following the direction of Li Xingchen's finger, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but exclaimed: "Langzhong?"
Li Xingchen nodded solemnly: "Yes, Langzhong. You just said that if you want to attack Hezhou, the best option is to arrive directly from Micang Road to Langzhong, so Yuchi is very likely to come to Langzhong. Take advantage of the heavy snow now.
With the mountain road sealed, we can rush into Langzhong before Yuchi Jiong and block the rice warehouse road!"
"This..." Pei Zilie frowned. Although Li Xingchen's idea is good, it is not so easy to implement it. Now that Yuchi Jiong is not ready, is Li Xingchen really ready?
?
Seemingly aware of what Pei Zilie was worried about, Li Xingchen smiled slightly and tapped the sand table: "We don't have many soldiers and horses that can be dispatched now, but as long as we can block Langzhong, it is equivalent to indirectly blocking the Jiange Road. Do you think that when Langzhong falls to us?
With it in hand, will Wei Xiaokuan still have the intention to go to Shu County?"
The surrounding generals were immediately stunned and looked at each other subconsciously.
Although Micang Road and Jiange Road are two roads that are not connected to each other, they also connect different places in Hanzhong and Bashu. However, the two roads are twists and turns, and there are several relatively close sections in between, and Langzhong is among them.
In the nearest section, it is possible to cut off the Jiange Road from Langzhong directly to the west, and even threaten the flanks of the Jiange Road.
One place pinches two roads, which is why Langzhong’s geographical location is so important.
"If Langzhong falls into our hands..." Pei Zilie said after careful consideration, "Indeed, even if Wei Xiaokuan goes south from the Jiangge, he will turn to Langzhong, join forces with Yuchi Jong, and fight us directly in Langzhong.
"
Whether Yuchi Jiong or Wei Xiaokuan, their main purpose in entering Shu was not to capture the city, but to deal with Li Xinchen. Moreover, they had an absolute military superiority, so it was very likely that they would come directly to fight Li Xinchen's main force in a decisive battle.
"Combined troops?" Dai Cai noticed the word sharply, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Li Xingchen had analyzed before that the two men, Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan, leading the troops were not only the Northern Zhou Dynasty's emphasis on Bashu, but also Yu Wenxianhe's.
The result of mutual compromise between Yang Jian and Yang Jian.
Therefore, if you want to make the enemy easier to deal with, it is easier to force them to join forces than to defeat them individually.
If Li Xingchen could capture Langzhong, Yuchijiong and Wei Xiaokuan, who might not have gone all the way, would naturally have to join forces.
From this point of view, Langzhong is undefeatable.
"But taking Langzhong will actually only pull our battle line out. Moreover, although Langzhong is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is a risk of exposing the flanks and rear to Shu County..." Cao Zhong couldn't help but frown.
Frowning, "General, wouldn't this be self-defeating?"
Not many people dared to directly give their opinions to Li Xingchen. Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Cao Zhong, especially Zheng Kaiyuan and other generals who had less contact with Li Xingchen. They couldn't help but secretly gasped, thinking that this guy was really brave.
However, Li Xingchen did not get angry as everyone expected. Instead, he gave Cao Zhong an appreciative look. Cao Zhong's question actually directly pointed out the biggest shortcoming of Li Xingchen's strategy in Langzhong. Although Langzhong guarded Mi Cang Road and intimidated Jiange Road, it also
There is a risk of exposing the flank to Shu County, so who can guarantee that Wei Xiaokuan will not send partial troops to bypass Shu County?
"I didn't say that taking Langzhong is all I want to do." Li Xingchen laughed, turned around, and tapped on the map next to him, "This is the key to what I want, Langzhong is just
It’s just an accessory.”
Everyone followed Li Xingchen's gaze and took a deep breath.
The place Li Xingchen was pointing to was Shu County.
This is the real goal of Li Xingchen's entire plan.
As for how to fight Shu County, although Li Xingchen didn't say it, everyone could guess a thing or two. However, this is the core and key of Li Xingchen's entire plan. It is reasonable that Li Xingchen didn't want to say it in front of so many people.
His ability to speak out his thoughts and rough plans shows his trust in everyone.
"General, this..." Cao Zhong was speechless for a moment.
And Xiao Shilian's eyes burned with blazing fire: "Shizhong, do you really plan to do this? If so, isn't it a bit risky?"
"Are you scared?" Li Xingchen squinted his eyes, still with a smile on his face, but this smile made everyone shudder in their hearts.
"Hahaha, there is nothing to be afraid of!" Xiao Shilian laughed and said, "How to fight this battle, you just have to give orders. We entered Ba County with our heads in our hands, so why not go into Shu County again with our heads in our hands?
! If a person dies and a bird looks up to the sky, he will not die for tens of millions of years, what are you afraid of what it will do!"
The surrounding generals responded enthusiastically. Anyway, they had no other choice. Accompanying Li Xingchen to go crazy for once was not a bad choice. Even Luo Ya and other civil servants were holding their heads high and excited at this time.
Luo Ya is an unsuccessful regular servant of Sanqi, and Xu Deyan is a fledgling son of aristocratic family. They are both ambitious people with nowhere to show their ambitions. Now that Li Xingchen has formulated such a bold plan, even if they had concerns before, after Xiao Shilian
The concerns and worries about my throat have all disappeared.
By this time, they were no longer distinguished by age or position; they were just a group of lunatics with similar odors.
We all went to Shu with our heads high, not to huddle in Bajun and be beaten. So what if Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan are coming fiercely, let's just fight them!
