"This kid!" Li Xingchen couldn't help laughing and scolding when he saw the news that Xiao Shilian sent someone to rush to deliver.
"I'm fed up with the siege" is just a meaningless excuse. It's obvious that Xiao Shilian just doesn't want Li Xingchen to continue to take the greatest risk.
The fortification of Luzhou City was certainly a big challenge at the time, but at that time Xiao Shilian had well-organized soldiers and horses, sufficient baggage, and the opponent's morale was not high, so there were not many obstacles actually encountered. In the end, Xiao Shilian and Chen Zhishen also easily conquered the city.
Take it.
After Luzhou, Li Xingchen did not let Xiao Shilian attack any more cities, so there was no way to talk about "enough was enough".
"General, General Pei from Shishan County has come to report that the garrison from Shu County will send troops to the north of Mianzhu to guard the road passes along the way." A messenger quickly rushed to the meeting hall and said loudly, "General Pei asked about the next arrangements.
"
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the map subconsciously. Apparently the defenders of Shu County had received the news, but they had no intention of coming to support Langzhong, but only divided their troops to guard the chokepoints on Jiange Road such as Mianzhu Pass...
··
"General, the enemy forces in Shu County must have received the news." Cao Zhong couldn't help but worry and said, "Otherwise, once Langzhong falls into our hands, it will be like a sharp blade at the throat of Jiange Road.
The enemy will definitely not sit idly by."
Although he said this, Cao Zhong did not say why. The other two people in the meeting hall - Du Qi and Li Xun subconsciously looked at each other with stern expressions. They knew that it was not that Cao Zhong didn't know, but that he didn't want to
Tell us this cruel reality.
"It means that Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong are about to arrive." Li Xingchen squinted his eyes slightly. He did not mean to deceive himself, "otherwise the enemy would not be able to arrange things like this. It's just that I need to consider now whether my plan has been seen through by these two people.
.”
Li Xinchen's arrangement for the entire Bashu war situation is actually very simple. Although the three groups of soldiers, Chen Zhishen, Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen, are not large in number, as long as they can seize the time, they can occupy the pass fortresses, such as Langzhong, before Yuchi Jiong or Wei Xiaokuan arrive.
, then we can take advantage of the geographical location to make up for the lack of numbers in one fell swoop.
Li Xingchen never naively thought that Yu Chijiong and the others would not be able to see through his plan at all, so he arranged too many changes and back-ups.
Langzhong was only the main direction of attack for Li Xinchen. If Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan pressed forward with their troops, Li Xinchen would definitely not attack Langzhong foolishly again. Instead, he would rely on the already captured Tiangongyuan Mountain defense line to retreat step by step. Although the mountains in the southern part of Langzhong have peaks
It is generally low, but not unsafe.
At this time, Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen, who were watching the news from the other two sides, would definitely take action and directly target Shu County. Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong, who were trapped in the Langzhong Mountains, would definitely lose their time advantage.
After all, although the road from Langzhong to Shu County is close, it is still a mountainous road. When attacking from Zizhou or Suizhou, there are rivers to rely on, especially when the weather gets warmer in two days, Nanchen's navy can even rush directly to
Under the city of Shu County.
Therefore, before knowing clearly what Yuchi Jiong or Wei Xiaokuan was planning, Li Xingchen did not dare to easily decide the real direction of the main attack. But now it is obvious that Yuchi Jiong is about to come out of Micang Mountain, and Wei Xiaokuan's target should be Jiange.
There is no problem with this arrangement. The two armies of the Northern Zhou Dynasty can be each other's horns when advancing, and they can cover each other when retreating. Even if Yuchijiong and Wei Xiaokuan are at odds, they still know what the overall situation is. Li Xingchen has not yet had the luxury of expecting these two to fight on most battlefields.
Life-long veteran generals will deliberately lose battles because of political disagreements.
"General, let's go now..." Li Xun's voice was full of worry.
In any case, it is certain that Yuchi Jiong's army is about to arrive, but now Li Xunchen has only captured Tiangongyuan, and is still far away from controlling the entire Langzhong. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xun and others not to worry.
They only have a general understanding of Li Xinchen's plan, and they don't know how sure Li Xinchen is. After all, in the eyes of most people, Li Xinchen's arrangement is both the most helpless and the most daring arrangement.
Chen Zhishen on the west route is just a partial force and will not affect the overall situation. However, the two troops of Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie, who are destined to face Yuchi Jiong or Wei Xiaokuan, are the most dangerous. As long as there is a problem with any of the two troops, the entire
The war situation will collapse accordingly.
Of course, conversely, if one group of soldiers and horses can hold back the opponent's main force, then the other group can naturally create miracles.
Everyone who had figured out the key here looked at Li Xingchen. At this time, they could only sigh secretly in their hearts. When Li Xingchen asked Pei Zilie as a forward to attack Shishan County, many people were surprised. But now it seems that he let Pei Zilie be the forward to attack Shishan County.
Pei Zilie was responsible for threatening or even attacking Shu County, which was Li Xingchen's real purpose.
Langzhong, Shu County... At this time, everyone realized how big the appetite of their general was. He didn't want to be able to swallow the whole Bashu in one bite, but just wanted to be able to bite off a piece of meat!
But after thinking about it, I can feel relieved. From Jingzhou to Bajun, whether this guy is making plans or fighting alone, his appetite has never been small.
"Have you seen this place?" Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and pointed on the map. "Send out all the scouts and show me the line from the sword pavilion to the sky and this side. The Ba people are good at traveling in the mountains. I believe this task can be completed."
Bar?"
Du Qi and Li Xun glanced at each other subconsciously. Li Xunchen pointed at the important passes around Shu County and Langzhong. By connecting these points, a big net has been formed invisibly, covering the entire Shu County and Langzhong.
!
"No!" The two agreed hastily.
At this time, they no longer wanted to figure out Li Xinchen's thoughts, because they realized that at least now they should not be able to figure it out clearly, so they might as well do what Li Xinchen ordered and arranged.
"Cao Zhong!" Li Xingchen shouted immediately.
Cao Zhong hurriedly raised his hand and said: "The general will be here."
"Xiao Boqing left three hundred people under surveillance outside the city of Panlong County. Now I have handed over all the remaining troops to you. There are nearly two thousand people in total. Do you dare to attack Panlong County?" Li Xingchen said in a deep voice.
Asked, whether fighting or not, he must maintain this posture.
Cao Zhong was startled for a moment, and immediately responded solemnly: "How dare you disobey me!"
Nodding, Li Xingchen gently rubbed his chin. There was still no news about Yuchi Jiong, and he didn't even know whether Wei Xiaokuan had set out. These two old generals were really more difficult to deal with than imagined.
This is a cat-and-mouse game, but the only difference from the ordinary cat-and-mouse game is that in this battle, whoever finds the other party first is the cat, and whoever reveals his intention first is the mouse!
