Xiao Shilian had also spoken, and Cao Zhong and others also breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried before that Li Xingchen would blame him, but now it seems that Li Xingchen had obviously anticipated Yuchi Jiong's arrangements.
Li Xunchen turned to look at Li Xun: "Be sure to find out Wei Xiaokuan's movements clearly."
"No!" Li Xun agreed hastily.
He stretched out his hand and clicked on the map, and Li Xingchen said in a deep voice: "The movements that I mentioned are not only on the Cangxi side, but also on the Jiange and Jiameng Pass front lines. Wei Xiaokuan has more than 30,000 elite soldiers and horses who have not yet participated in the war. Even if
Even if they come to support Yuchi Jiong, it is impossible for the entire army to press on them. In addition, the military commander is also taking action at Mianzhu, so it is possible that Wei Xiaokuan will divide his troops."
"Divide the troops?" Cao Zhong and others were a little surprised.
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "The line from Mianzhu to Shu County is focused on defense, so Wei Xiaokuan only needs to leave more than 10,000 troops to support the battle. Of course, whether he can break through the defense of the chieftain and Chen Zhishen is another matter.
After all, the key places of Mianzhu and Shujun are still in the hands of the Zhou people. As long as the connection between them is opened, the siege of Shujun will naturally be solved."
"We are beyond our reach in Mianzhu and Shu counties, but the master will definitely know how to handle it," Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice.
"Contact more Ba tribes," Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Jiange and Xichong, "try to block the communication between the enemies."
Li Xun and Du Qi hurriedly responded. This must be their mission. And Li Xunchen's purpose of doing this was also very clear. It seemed that he wanted to make it difficult for Wei Xiaokuan to grasp the actual situation in the direction of Mianzhu, so as to cut off the communication between the enemy's armies.
, it is basically impossible to fight on the plains. The scouts on both sides have always fought fiercely, but it is difficult to truly gain an overwhelming advantage.
But in the mountainous areas of Bashu, it is not impossible.
The communication of news between various places in Bashu is mainly through the large and small roads that run through the mountains, and the Ba people who have been in the mountains for a long time naturally know these roads very well. If Li Xingchen really wants to block the news, it is not impossible.
.
"Spread out the scouts and explore back and forth along the two directions of Cangxi and Sunjiamen," Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Don't bother with the enemy's scouts. I want to know what Yuchijiong is planning now."
Yuchi Jun's troops were divided into two groups, one group captured Cangxi, while the other group was huddled in Micang Mountain. It didn't take much to think about it, but he knew that he had insufficient food and grass now, so he could only rely on the Micang Mountain path to move forward bit by bit.
Of course, the food and fodder sent was not enough to consume such a large army day and night, so Yuchi Jong must take some action, otherwise he would just sit back and wait to die.
The most likely possibility is to join Wei Xiaokuan along Micang Mountain.
Looking at the expression on Li Xingchen's face, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Shizhong, you are not still planning to take the initiative at this time, are you?"
Li Xingchen seemed to have expected Xiao Shilian to have this problem, and said with a smile: "Sometimes offense is the best defense. I can't place all my hopes on Panlong County City and Tiangongyuan Mountain. After all, the city and the mountain are fixed.
, there is no way to change the tomb, even if the city defense is strengthened, it will still be within the calculations and expectations of Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan."
There was a bit of coldness in his eyes, and Li Xingchen's smile did not look so friendly: "Since these two old guys are coming to attack, it means that they have most likely already planned this situation. Panlong
No matter the county or city, or the Tiangongyuan Mountain, there is no way to really stop their progress, so I must make changes."
Cao Zhong, Du Qi and others handed over their hands at the same time. They now understood to some extent Li Xinchen's unconstrained and bold behavior, so they did not refute it.
Everyone is already in a desperate situation. If Li Xingchen goes through so much trouble and can break this dragnet, it will not be a bad thing.
But Xiao Shilian just rubbed his chin gently and looked at Li Xingchen with bright eyes.
Sometimes this guy is cautious, sometimes he is bold. He is lucky to have such a companion in his life.

Luofengpo, the place where Fengchu fell.
Luofengpo is located just in front of Mianzhu Pass. The hillside guards the north-south road through Mianzhu Pass. It is the remnant of Lutou Mountain. However, the hillside is steep and the mountains are densely wooded, making it a natural ambush place.
Three hundred years ago, Fengchu Pang Tong, who was known as "Dragon and Phoenix" together with Zhuge Kongming, was attacked and died at the foot of this hillside.
Three hundred years later, Zheng Kaiyuan was leading his soldiers on a mountain path with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Because of the snow before, the snow had just melted in many shady places on the mountain, so the ground was very muddy. Coupled with the dead branches and leaves accumulated for who knows how many years, it is possible to step into the mud if you are not careful.
Zheng Kaiyuan didn't quite understand Pei Zilie's order, but after spending so much time with Pei Zilie, he already knew very well that this young General Nanchen always focused on seeking victory in a stable manner, and he knew what he was doing. Since he had arranged the arrangement in this way, he had Considering the situation, you just need to do what you should do well.
"Be careful!" A general suddenly roared, "Who is it?!"
Immediately the sword flashed, and Zheng Kaiyuan waved his hand almost subconsciously: "There are enemies!"
Several Northern Zhou Dynasty scouts found that their whereabouts were exposed. They did not intend to directly meet the enemy, but turned around and ran away in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
"Stop chasing them!" Zheng Kaiyuan waved his hand, "Just send two scouts to follow them to see where they are going and if there is any other way."
Needless to say, these scouts were also sent by the defenders. Each of them was small and thin, and one could tell at a glance that they were locals from the Bashu Mountains. They relied on their thorough knowledge of the terrain to move around in the mountains. If he rashly pursued them with his soldiers and horses, , not only may you not be able to find the person, you may even get lost.
Zheng Kaiyuan has stayed in Bashu for a long time, especially since he has been guarding Diaoyu Mountain City all year round, so he knows the mountains of Bashu very well.
Several scouts left quickly, but Zheng Kaiyuan walked straight forward again. Not all of the soldiers around him were his original subordinates - Zheng Kaiyuan said they were all surrendered generals, and most of his subordinates were also disrupted. Reorganize, after all, many of them are old and weak and are not suitable for fighting again.
What's more, even if all the soldiers and horses in Diaoyu City were in their prime at that time, whether it was Li Xingchen or Pei Zilie, it was impossible for a fallen general to take charge of them all. Zheng Kaiyuan had no objection to this. As a fallen general, he could be reused. That's good enough, but you still need to have the awareness you should have.
He is a contented person.
At this time, the soldiers who came from different places and had not had much contact with Zheng Kaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their leader was so calm.
"General, there is a small enemy camp ahead." A general walked over quickly.
Zheng Kaiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Let's go over and have a look!"
