Xiao Xiang was a little surprised, and Li Xingchen subconsciously wanted to take the short blade away, but then he thought that this was the front line after all, so he just pressed Xiao Xiang's hand and patted it gently, asking her to put the short blade in.
In the sleeves:
"You don't know when this place will fall into war, so you might as well stay and defend yourself. Remember, no matter what happens, you must survive, okay?"
Xiao Xiang could no longer control her tears, but Li Xingchen did not hug her. He just took out his handkerchief and reached out to hold Xiao Xiang's cheek, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and face: "Xian'er is obedient, and you are also obedient.
I have some confidence in my husband. I haven’t said that I will definitely lose this battle. If you cry like this now, won’t you make my husband unhappy?”
Xiao Xiang responded softly. Li Xingchen kissed her on the forehead and said with a smile: "When So-and-so goes out to arrange some things, I will come back and have dinner with you. Stay well. It's too chaotic outside. There is no So-and-so."
If you get permission, don't go out easily. That girl Lian'er will also find someone to look after you."
"Yeah." Xiao Xiang's hand that was originally holding Li Xingchen's sleeve slowly loosened his grip.
Li Xingchen was silent for a moment, then turned and walked out of the room.
A ray of sunshine was shining on his body, but there was not much warmth. At this time, Li Xingchen sighed secretly in his heart.
Behind him are Xiao Xiang, Xiao Mohe in Jingzhou, Wu Mingche in Huainan, Shen Jungao in the capital... If he were defeated, who knows how many people he would let down?
Of course, there is also that beautiful shadow hidden deep in my heart...
I don’t know how long it’s been since I wrote a letter...
————————————————————
Panlong County City, a long pavilion ten miles north of the city.
Li Xingchen packed up everything in Panlong County's city very quickly, and even the people were semi-forced to move to Bazhong. So when Wei Xiaokuan rushed to the city, he certainly won this Langzhong without a single blow.
The core city, but seeing the empty granaries and only two or three old people left in the city, I felt helpless.
Li Xingchen is really good at scraping the ground.
The day after Wei Xiaokuan regained Panlong County, Yuchi Jiong led his troops to the outside of the city. This time, Wei Xiaokuan did not care about the dissatisfaction of his generals and insisted on going out of the city gate to meet Shili Changting.
After all, Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong had the same official position, and there was no clear leadership relationship between the two parties. In addition, there was no need to do this due to their political disagreements. However, seeing Wei Xiaokuan's insistence, the generals had no other choice but to follow them together.
.
Seeing the figure he had seen before from a distance, Wei Xiaokuan stepped forward against the wind. Yuchijiong was obviously surprised that Wei Xiaokuan came to greet him in person, but he still turned over and dismounted.
"Brother Bo Juluo!" Wei Xiaokuan cupped his hands towards Yuchi Jiong, who was striding over, with a bit of a smile on his face. However, this smile fell in the eyes of Yuchi Shun and others behind Yuchi Jiong, but it was not just a simple smile.
The joy after meeting Yuchi Jong.
To say that Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong, the political enemies, were so happy to see each other would probably be surprising.
To Yu Chishun and others, Wei Xiaokuan's smile was obviously mocking.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Yuchi Jiong was trapped in the valley by Li Xinchen with dozens of people for several days. This matter must have been known to Wei Xiaokuan for a long time, so it is obvious that Wei Xiaokuan is now laughing at Yuchi Jiong's incompetence.
Yuchi Jiong raised his hand calmly: "General Lei Wei has been waiting outside the city for a long time."
Of course, he was not naive enough to think that Wei Xiaokuan was waiting like this just to mock him. Wei Xiaokuan was also a veteran who had been on the battlefield for most of his life. Of course, he could not do such an impulsive thing. Therefore, Wei Xiaokuan waiting here must have someone he wanted to talk to.
Yu Chijiong said.
Wei Xiaokuan was also unambiguous. He directly led his horse and said in a deep voice: "I just received the news that Mianzhu Pass has been lost and Pei Zilie has entered Mianzhu."
"What?!" Yuchi Jiong suddenly raised his eyebrows. The war at Mianzhu Pass was in charge of the local defenders of Bashu and Wei Xiaokuan's son Wei Shou. Therefore, Wei Xiaokuan received the news obviously one step faster than himself, but Yuchi Jiong didn't do anything.
Thinking of it, the Mianzhu Pass was lost as soon as it was lost. After all, it was one of the most powerful passes in Bashu!
Wei Xiaokuan smiled bitterly and said: "Quan Zi led his army and received the news just after they set off from Jiange, which means that Pei Zilie took Mianzhu Pass in about two days. I was quite surprised when I saw the news, but since
Quanzi sent the news, so it’s not for the purpose of scaring such an old man.”
At this time, Yuchi Jiong had already understood why Wei Xiaokuan was so anxious to see him, even if he did not hesitate to meet him ten miles out of town. The fall of Mianzhu Pass meant that Li Xinchen's defense along Langzhong to Mianzhu had been formed. As long as Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan were unable to
If there is a gap in this defense line, it will never be possible to go to support Shu County.
If Yuchi Jiong and Wei Xiaokuan did not step up their attack, Li Xingchen's simple siege would be enough to kill the defenders of Shu County. After all, the harvest in Shu County was not good last year, and it is conceivable that there will not be much food left in the city. Once Li Xingchen besieged the city, the city would be destroyed.
Morale must also be at a loss. There is nothing left to defend in this city.
"This..." Yuchi Jiong couldn't help frowning and sighed subconsciously, "What method did Pei Zilie use? Could it be that he flew into the city?"
Wei Xiaokuan was startled for a moment, then nodded to Yuchijiong's surprise, and handed the military report sent by Wei Shou directly to Yuchijiong: "According to the description of the soldiers who luckily escaped with their lives, what Brother Bo Juluo said is true. They
It is indeed flying into the city."
Yuchijiong's hands trembled slightly. He took the military newspaper and glanced at it roughly. He closed it gently and sighed longly, but didn't say anything. He didn't know whether he was hit by this cruel reality or because he was afraid of it.
The methods described in military reports were shocking.
Wei Xiaokuan murmured: "It's really not easy to make a paper kite and ride the wind to carry people in. This Pei Zilie is really not easy... Even if it were you and me, we might not be able to control the situation in such a situation, let alone
Zou Qiang was surrounded by some local soldiers who had never been on the battlefield..."
"Pei Zilie studied under Wu Mingche and has always been cautious and prudent in his military use. Such wild ideas may not have come from him," Yu Chijiong said in a deep voice, "It is a bit like Li Xingchen's military style, which is unexpected and difficult to guard against."
Wei Xiaokuan had actually never had a head-on confrontation with Li Xingchen. When he heard what Yuchi Jiong said, he nodded lightly. He knew clearly that Yuchi Jiong's understanding of Li Xingchen must be better than his own, and Yuchi Jiong must have made such a judgment.
His reason.
"It seems that this battle will be more difficult than we imagined..." Yu Chijiong said in a low voice.
"Since Li Xingchen voluntarily abandoned the city of Panlong County, someone has already noticed it." Wei Xiaokuan sighed softly.
