"Hurry up, follow me!" A general stood on the roadside and shouted with his hands raised. Teams of soldiers strode past him, flags fluttering in the wind.
"Dad, further ahead is the Jiange Road!" A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes rode up to the banner with the word "Wei" and solemnly held his hand.
"Okay, Shi Ling, let the front march faster." The one under the banner is the famous Northern Zhou general Wei Xiaokuan. However, Wei Xiaokuan looked a little anxious at this time, contrary to his usual indifference. Obviously, the anxiety of the Bashu war situation has also made him feel anxious.
Be worried.
This middle-aged man is Wei Xiaokuan's third son, Wei Shou, and he is also the only child to follow Wei Xiaokuan on this expedition. The Wei family has a long history of generals, and Wei Xiaokuan has reached the peak of being a general, and several of his sons are also very competitive, except
The eldest son Wei Chen stayed at home to take care of the family business, while the other sons followed Wei Xiaokuan and fought abroad.
Among them, the most promising second son, Mr. Wei, was promoted to General of Hussars in his twenties, and opened the three divisions of Yitong. He was young and promising, but unfortunately he died in Bingzhou at the age of twenty-nine. And now the three people who are following Wei Xiaokuan
Although his son Wei Shou was not as accomplished as his elder brother, he had already served as governor of two states. Wei Xiaokuan had no one to follow him during this expedition, so Wei Shou invited himself to join the army.
Even though he had served as the governor, he was considered an important official in the imperial court, and Wei Shou was still respectful in front of Wei Xiaokuan.
"Dad, the snow has just stopped snowing not long ago, and Jiange Road has only been cleared to clear some paths. If we speed up the march rashly..." Wei Shou couldn't help but whispered. He also had a military background, how could these principles be true?
Not sure.
The weather was bad at this time, and no one knew when the next snowstorm would come, so it was best to march slowly.
Wei Xiaokuan narrowed his eyes slightly and handed the battle report in his hand to Wei Shou: "Let's take a look. Two days ago, Tiangongyuan Mountain was captured by Li Xingchen."
"This..." Wei Shou was surprised. He knew what Tiangongyuanshan meant to Langzhong. "This Li Xingchen came so fast!"
"Guo Liang, the guard at Tiangongyuan, is said to be steady and alert, and he can hand over such a strategic location so easily. In addition to showing that Guo Liang is not worthy of his name, I am afraid that Li Xingchen is also more powerful than I imagined.
It's difficult to deal with." Wei Xiaokuan said with a frown. The fact that Bashu's occupation has developed like this is not beyond his and Yuchi Jiong's expectations.
The two have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, so this possibility can be expected, but Wei Xiaokuan still did not expect that Li Xingchen would charge into Langzhong so decisively. Wasn't he afraid that Langzhong was a trap and a death place?
"Then how does dad plan to deal with this Li Xingchen?" Wei Shou asked subconsciously. Although he had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, when he followed Wei Xiaokuan, he still subconsciously wanted to consult Wei Xiaokuan's opinion first.
Wei Xiaokuan was silent for a moment and said calmly: "What I am thinking about now is not how to deal with Li Xinchen, but what Li Xinchen is thinking... Shi Ling, I am a little bit unpredictable about this Li Xinchen at this time...
···”
Li Xingchen is not a person who is detached from things and fights unexpectedly. For Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong who have experienced too many battles, they can say that they have experienced all kinds of enemies and dangers, no matter how hard Li Xingchen fights.
It is impossible to escape the expectations of the two people.
This is experience, and it is also the most valuable thing for a veteran.
However, Li Xingchen's strategy was certainly within Wei Xiaokuan's expectation, but Wei Xiaokuan did not know how many troops Li Xingchen had, and he did not know if Li Xingchen had any subsequent moves.
This guy used his troops like lightning, and he was extremely ruthless. However, he was very cautious in the overall arrangement. At least until now, Wei Xiaokuan didn't know how many soldiers and horses Li Xingchen left in Shicheng County, and what his purpose was.
where.
Therefore, instead of figuring out how to deal with Li Xinchen, now he wants to know what Li Xinchen is thinking.
"From the kid's point of view, this Li Xingchen is difficult to deal with, but he has a small army and few generals, so dad doesn't have to worry so much. As long as our army sets up a majestic formation, Li Xingchen will not have many opportunities to take advantage of, and a decisive battle will be fought head-on.
He is definitely not our opponent." Wei Shou's voice contained murderous intent, and he really didn't have a good impression of Li Xingchen who jumped out to stir up trouble in the world at this time.
And seeing that his father rarely showed hesitation, Wei Shou felt that he should encourage his father's fighting spirit. His father had been on the battlefield for so many years, and a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers suddenly appeared. It was inevitable that he was a little unprepared. As long as he returned
If you think about it, you will definitely be able to take down Li Xingchen easily.
Wei Xiaokuan nodded slightly, but said nothing.
But he knew very well in his heart how difficult it was to set up a dignified formation in the mountains of Bashu that had no flaws and could only force the enemy to confront him head-on. Throughout the ages, there have been many uncanny plots in and out of Bashu.
Whether it was Chencang's secret work at first, or Ziwugu Qimou or Deng Aifei's army at Yinping later, they all used the word "odd".
What's more, it seems that from now on, as soon as he steps into Jiange Road, he will be involved in this battle, and it may not be that easy to escape.
Now Wei Xiaokuan is not worried about himself, but about Yuchi Jiong in Langzhong. There has been no news about Yuchi Jiong for three or four days, and Wei Xiaokuan does not know where he is. Facing the battle situation in Langzhong, Wei Xiaokuan is beyond his reach and can only hope that Yuchi Jiong will
This deadlock can be broken, but at least Li Xingchen cannot be allowed to continue to go against this trend.
Of course, there is also what is behind me at this time.
Thinking of Yang Jian's instructions to him when leaving Beijing, Wei Xiaokuan could only sigh in his heart. At this time, the turmoil in the capital was so treacherous that even he, who had experienced too many storms, was a little scared. No matter Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian
No matter what, they are not idle people, and if the gods fight, who knows what kind of disaster the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be like!
According to the current trend, I am afraid that the ending of East and West Wei will inevitably happen again in the future!
Perhaps all Wei Xiaokuan can do is help the Northern Zhou Dynasty pacify Bashu, at least prevent the country from internal and external troubles. As for taking this opportunity to suppress Yuchi Jiong... Wei Xiaokuan can only do his best. The strength of his opponent Li Xinchen has already made him
There was no way to fully grasp the direction of the entire battle, not to mention that Yuchi Jiong didn't have to be wary of himself.
They are all old foxes who have been fighting for a lifetime, and they have some calculations in their hearts. How can it be so easy for him to make calculations?
"Let's go." After a long time, Wei Xiaokuan suddenly said without any clue.
The voice was very soft, and I didn't know who it was for.
Wei Shou looked over in surprise, but Wei Xiaokuan didn't seem to mean to repeat himself. He just looked at the road ahead with bright eyes, frowning slightly and not knowing what he was thinking.
"Perhaps I was wrong about what I just thought?" Wei Shou murmured to himself, and finally could only sigh deeply.
