Chapter 491: Every family has a hard-to-read scripture
Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jong led their troops to Bashu, not so much for strategic considerations as for political considerations. Therefore, no matter what Wei Xiaokuan did or which step he took, he had to consider whether doing so would bring harm to the court.
Yang Jian in the hall brought negative influence.
After all, the connection between Wei Xiaokuan and Yang Jian was seen by both the government and the public, and it was impossible for Wei Xiaokuan to draw a clear line between them.
Therefore, he had to leave Langzhong, and he had to save Yuchijun. At least when the outcome of the struggle between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian had not yet been decided, this kind of moral handle could not easily fall into Yu Wenxian's hands.
What's more, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses at Yuchi Jong's place, and Wei Xiaokuan couldn't just watch Yuchi Jong being unable to advance or retreat in Micang Mountain. In the final analysis, Yuchi Jong's light troops advanced into Micang Mountain, or he rushed to Hanzhong at that time.
The idea was proposed to Yuchi, so Wei Xiaokuan could not just sit idly by and do nothing.
"I saw the government and the people of the Zhou Dynasty clearly. I didn't expect that it was Li Xingchen." Wei Xiaokuan sighed softly and stood up. The cold wind blew the white beard of the old general, who had fought for the Northern Zhou Dynasty for most of his life.
The veteran has a somewhat desolate look on his face.
This battle... obviously had the upper hand and seemed like a sure win, but when the fight actually started, the restraint was not as smooth as Li Xingchen's maneuvering!
As a young man like Li Xingchen, he seemed to be impetuous and blindly aggressive in doing things. But when Wei Xiaokuan walked step by step to the sword pavilion, he came to his senses. Li Xingchen had already made plans for the future not knowing how long ago.
Foreshadowing.
It seemed that the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty was under Li Xingchen's control, and Li Xingchen had calculated Wei Xiaokuan's choice at the strategic level.
"Ah Shou, I have decided to keep you to guard Jiange. I will lead the army to Cangxi and join Yuchishun." Wei Xiaokuan said in a deep voice, "Do you understand what needs to be done?"
Wei Shou was startled, and immediately understood that his father wanted him to lead this partial army. He was inevitably a little excited at the moment. Leading an army alone was the wish of every general. However, Wei Xiaokuan was in the army before, so he had no choice but to take his turn.
Not until Wei Shou came to lead the troops:
"My child understands that he will protect his father's retreat. At the same time, he sent scouts to Mianzhu Pass to investigate the situation. Mianzhu is probably fighting now. However, Pei Zilie doesn't have many troops, so he feints to attract our attention and give Li Xingchen the opportunity.
There may be more people to share the pressure, so when the child waits for his father to enter Cangxi, he will raise his troops and go south..."
"Mianzhu may not be able to hold on." Wei Xiaokuan interrupted Wei Shou bluntly, "Who told you that Pei Zilie's attack on Mianzhu was just a feint?"
Wei Shou looked over in surprise: "But the enemy's general..."
The enemy's leader is Li Xingchen, and Li Xingchen is in Langzhong at this time, so it makes sense that Pei Zilie, who is in the direction of Mianzhu, is responsible for the feint attack. Whether it is Wei Shou or others, they will more or less have this idea at this time.
Wei Xiaokuan frowned. Li Xingchen was a rising star and had not participated in many wars. Therefore, his military style could only be judged based on the few words he heard and the few battles he had commanded.
When Li Xingchen attacked Bajun before, many people thought that he was good at defending the city and using surprises. However, Li Xingchen soon proved that he was equally capable in fighting and attacking the city. It was precisely because he could not figure out Li Xingchen's skills.
Depending on the number of troops deployed, the defenders of Shu County could only retreat and shrink their defense lines, abandoning difficult-to-defend cities such as Zizhou and Suizhou, because they could not guarantee when Li Xingchen would lead his army to encircle them.
Half of the people couldn't run back.
Song Ping, who was determined to defend Hezhou, is the best example.
"Enemies with strength, ambition, and no restraint are the most difficult to deal with..." Wei Xiaokuan suddenly thought of something and murmured with emotion, then his voice sank, "The battle situation in Bashu is fictitious and real, and Li Xichen arranged his troops.
It's always surprising, how can you guarantee that Pei Zilie's partial attack on Mianzhu is just a feint to attack Mianzhu? Once Mianzhu falls, the communication between us and Shu County will be completely cut off, and most of Bashu will be lost for one Li Xinchen?"
"But..." Wei Shou wanted to insist on saying more, but looking at his father's firm look, he could only nod helplessly. He knew that the enemy was right in front but could not let go of his hands and feet and the enemy.
The feeling of competition is really uncomfortable.
Reaching out and patting Wei Shou's shoulder, Wei Xiaokuan whispered: "Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Li Xingchen's troubles are no less than ours. What's more, no matter what, we have an absolute advantage in military strength. Remember,
Shu County must not be lost. Once I have dealt with Li Xingchen, I will return to the army, or directly attack Shicheng County, and go south to Hezhou. No matter what, I cannot let Bashu continue to be controlled by Daoyi."
"I understand, kid!" Wei Shou said excitedly.
Wei Xiaokuan went directly to Shicheng County, which meant that the battle situation from Shu County to Luzhou was completely left to him. How could Wei Shou not be excited.
But Wei Xiaokuan just squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the steep Dajian Mountain.
Li Xingchen, I would like to see how you deal with it this time.
——————————————
"Cangxi." Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and clicked on the map, his face solemn.
Cao Zhong and Li Xun, who were standing in front of him, looked ashamed. The task given to them by Li Xingchen was to attack Chaotian, or to retreat and block the road from Zitong to Langzhong, but as Yuchishun arrived at Cangzhong first, they
The creek blocked the entrance to this road, and Cao Zhong and others had no chance to move forward, so they could only return in frustration.
Now they can also realize the seriousness of the matter. Cangxi falls into the hands of Yuchishun, and Wei Xiaokuan can follow Zitong to Cangxi without any hindrance.
In other words, in three or four days, Li Xingchen could face the "entertainment" of the two Northern Zhou generals Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong.
Because of their mistakes, the entire Langzhong War situation will inevitably become more difficult.
"What are all these dejected people doing?!" Li Xingchen noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere and couldn't help but let out a light drink.
The generals hurriedly raised their heads, and Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and tapped on the map: "Cangxi is now in the hands of Yuchishun. Yuchishun is determined to support Wei Xiaokuan. Isn't this what he wants? Before, I was worried about Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi.
We must divide our troops into two groups."
Li Xun, Du Qi and others subconsciously glanced at each other. It is true that there is a conflict between Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan, so they can be used more. However, now that the enemy is outnumbered, Li Xunchen does not fight with the whole army, but only has three thousand soldiers.
horse.
No matter how dirty there was between Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong, it would be easy to crush Li Xinchen. Everyone knew this.
Xiao Shilian, who was leaning on the cushion next to him, coughed softly: "Anyway, this is already a fait accompli. No one can change it. What you should be thinking about now is how to fight next."
