Hearing what Li Xingchen said, Du Qi shuddered and solemnly cupped his hands: "The general will understand that he will live up to the general's trust."
He already knew that Li Xingchen not only used him and the Pu people as scouts, but also had the intention of driving nails into Shu.
The Pu people are only one of the eight tribes of the Ba people. Because their place of residence is relatively close to the cities and basins where the Han people live, they can get the news about Li Xinchen earlier, so they come to serve very early.
, the rest, such as Banzhenman, had the most determined resistance in previous battles against the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so they have always been the key targets of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
After the failure, he fled into the mountains. It was not easy to contact them, let alone send news from the outside world. I'm afraid they still don't know that earth-shaking changes have taken place in Ba County outside.
Du Qi also knew that Li Xingchen wanted to appease the Ba people, so after the Pu people settled down, he has been sending people to contact other tribes. Now he has established contact with at least two or three of the tribes, but he wants to conquer eight of the Ba people again.
It may take some effort to gather all the troops under one banner.
Obviously, the war was imminent, and Li Xingchen could not wait that long anymore. He had to let the various tribes of the Ba people make a choice, whether to join him or to turn around and continue hiding in the mountains. Li Xingchen could not wait any longer.
And if they are willing to serve him, Li Xinchen, then the enemy's movements in this battle are the best way to surrender, and Li Xinchen gives them this opportunity.
The mountains are where the Ba people have lived for generations, so traveling to and from the mountains to spy on information is a familiar task for them. Compared to being the cannon fodder who ascended first during the siege, it is obvious that Li Xingchen has taken good care of the Ba people.
It is not difficult for the Ba people to obtain such a certificate.
Du Qi looked at Li Xingchen gratefully and solemnly handed over his hand: "General, please rest assured. I will go north to Suizhou and Bazhong. The Ba tribes in the mountains will send people to contact you. I will contact you."
Go to Langzhong in person, contact the Bancheng people there, and report every move of the enemy that you can detect to the general!"
Li Xingchen nodded, turned his eyes, and then fell on Chen Zhishen: "Chen Zhishen!"
"The end is here!" Chen Zhishen hurriedly stepped forward.
"Can Luzhou's soldiers fight?" Li Xingchen immediately asked in a deep voice.
Chen Zhishen puffed up his chest: "Yes!"
"Very good, you lead the army to attack Zizhou. I will give you seven days. Within seven days, the enemies in Zizhou must be eliminated!" Li Xingchen raised his voice, "Zicong, this time the Western Front will temporarily use you.
As a coach, don’t let me down!”
Chen Zhishen hurriedly handed over his hands: "The last general takes orders!"
Although he had never served as a general before, in such a crucial battle situation now, Li Xingchen trusted him to serve as the general. This was of course a trust in him and a test for him.
Li Xingchen never said anything about military orders. As long as his orders were issued, they would be implemented according to the standards of military orders. Chen Zhishen knew this very well, but he accepted the order without hesitation.
Li Xingchen didn't talk nonsense to Chen Zhishen anymore. Chen Zhishen had been with him long enough. He didn't need to emphasize what he should say or what he should do. Then he looked at Pei Zilie, and Li Xingchen's voice softened a little: "Master!"
Pei Zilie had obviously been waiting for Li Xingchen to call him, and took a step forward: "Here you are!"
He and Li Xingchen are both generals with no titles, so the word "last general" goes without saying, but saying it makes Pei Zilie seem pretentious. Even though Pei Zilie doesn't like to make friends, he is still very good at interpersonal relationships. He is a "
The word "zai" already showed his attitude and gave Li Xinchen enough face.
Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "It will take the same seven days to capture Suizhou."
"Promise!" Pei Zilie was also unambiguous. He stayed in Hezhou for a long time. Of course, he was not only thinking about how to defend Hezhou, but also made many plans for Suizhou to the north of Hezhou, although he did not know it thoroughly.
But he also knew how to form a formation and march.
Now Li Xinchen seems to be planning to put Pei Zilie in charge of the Eastern Front. Pei Zilie is more prudent in fighting, and Li Xinchen has chosen two people with completely different personalities as the main commanders on the east and west fronts, which is beyond many people's expectations.
"The rest of the generals will go out with me. Qimen, Gongliang, and me will lead the army north. I leave Bajun and Linjiang and other places to you." Li Xinchen did not make any detailed arrangements. How to fight this battle next, Li Xinchen still had to
Only by clarifying the direction of the two armies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty can we determine.
"No!" Luo Ya and Tang Zhengliang stood up and offered their hands. One of them is the governor of Chuzhou and the other is the prefect of Bajun. It goes without saying that they have the important responsibility of staying behind.
And Xiao Shilian's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Li Xingchen didn't mention his name in the end. He didn't have a role in coaching the two teams. He didn't even have the chance to lead the partial division in the end. How could he not be depressed?
Is this guy afraid that he has forgotten his own brother-in-law?
But after all, Xiao Shilian has been through a lot of ups and downs since he came out, and he knows when to speak and when not to speak. Now is the time when he needs to maintain Li Xinchen's authority, so he just rolls his eyes and sulks with himself.
At this time, Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "The current arrangements are roughly as follows. Go down and prepare! Master, Boqing, you two will stay here for a while."
"Promise!" Everyone agreed with a roar.
Seeing the people at the back also leaving, Xiao Shilian took a step forward and said with some dissatisfaction: "Shizhong, what did you ask me to do?"
The resentful look on Xiao Shilian's face made Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile, and Pei Zilie was also surprised that Li Xinchen actually refused to let Xiao Shilian go to the Western Front. He also looked at Li Xinchen, waiting for Li Xinchen to give them a reasonable answer.
"The key to this battle is not on the western front, but on the eastern front." Li Xingchen said attentively, "After Chen Zhishen takes Zizhou, it would be great if he could threaten Shu County. Even if he gives up Zizhou, I will not blame him.
, after all, Li Xingchen is in Hezhou, as long as he is still there, the enemy's main target of attack will definitely be Hezhou."
After a pause, Li Xingchen then said: "Now, whether it is to attack Zizhou or Suizhou, it is not our main purpose. What I really want is Langzhong, and if Langzhong is on the verge of war, we will inevitably divide our troops. When the time comes, our troops will
The enemy is not the current Northern Zhou garrison in Bashu, but Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan. When the time comes, the only ones who can lead the army to fight alone are you two in my heart, so you must come to the Eastern Front."
Xiao Shilian was a little surprised, but he immediately understood what Li Xingchen meant. Li Xingchen joked: "Now I let the big scholar brother go because he has a stable character. Once the war gets tense, I can keep him to guard the city. How about you and the big man?"
