Chapter five hundred and twenty second Wei Xiaokuan's calculations
After a pause, Pei Zilie tapped the map: "Once Mianzhu Pass is lost, what should we do?"
Xu Deyan was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "We only have Guanghan as our way of retreat. Since the general already knows it, why bother asking the general again."
"One Guanghan city and one Han River are not enough." Pei Zilie said lightly, "Wei Shou seems to be determined to be the first one to arrive in Shu County. In the battle of Lutoushan, he almost ignored it.
We are attacking forward with casualties, and in the Guanghan area, the enemy's large equipment such as trebuchets and bed crossbows have more room to use, which means that we will be even more at a disadvantage."
Hearing this, Xu Deyan felt helpless: "Yes, Wei Shou is so desperate. It seems that he got Wei Xiaokuan's death order. On the contrary, it was Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong's attack on the Tiangong Courtyard. According to the battle report sent by General Dang Kou,
, not so anxious. It seems that Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong get along quite well, and I don’t know what Wei Xiaokuan is thinking."
"Wei Xiaokuan's plan..." Pei Zilie seemed to understand something and was shocked.
And Xu Deyan also widened his eyes: "The general is saying..."
Pei Zilie considered it and said: "The reason why Wei Xiaokuan is willing to improve the relationship with Yuchi Jiong is probably not only because they need to complete this battle together, but also because Wei Xiaokuan has a branch of Wei Shou, or in other words, this is Wei Xiaokuan's true strength.
The main force."
"We only need Wei Shou to break through Mianzhu Pass and reach the city of Shu County. Then the credit belongs to Wei Xiaokuan. So all Wei Xiaokuan needs to do is attack Tiangongyuan Mountain with Yuchi Jiong bit by bit?" Xu Deyan's voice has changed.
, "Does this mean that all the enemy's elite soldiers and generals are actually here with Wei Shou?"
"Not only are there elite soldiers and generals, I even suspect that the next batch of baggage and equipment may also be sent to Wei Shou's army. By then, the crossbows and trebuchets we need will definitely be far more than the ones before." Pei Zilie said in a deep voice, frowning.
I didn't realize it was locked.
Regardless of whether Wei Xiaokuan had made this judgment before or did so unintentionally later, it is obvious that Wei Shou's army, desperately pushing forward, was the key to turning the situation of the Bashu war in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Although Wei Shou only had 10,000 people, which was certainly less than half of Wei Xiaokuan's troops, if these 10,000 people were selected elite soldiers and generals, they would be able to play a greater role than 20,000 people and rush through Mianzhu all the way.
It is not impossible to pass directly to the city of Shu County.
"General, Wei Shou has formed a formation in the city. It seems he wants to attack the city!" Zheng Kaiyuan walked in quickly and said anxiously.
"Another night battle?" Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows.
And Xu Deyan murmured: "This Wei Shou seems to be really desperate."
"He wants to fight hard, but we can't sit still and wait for death. Send orders to all the ministries to prepare for war, and Xiuyuan. You should immediately write down the intelligence information here as a battle report and send it to Shu County and Tiangongyuan respectively. You must be quick!" Pei Zilie turned around and said, grabbing the table.
He held up his sword and said, "Come on, let's go out and take a look!"
"No!" Xu Deyan and Zheng Kaiyuan responded loudly at the same time.

"Build the plank road openly, visit Chen Cang secretly, Wei Shou..." Li Xingchen looked at the map with an unconcealable look of worry in his eyes.
And Xiao Shilian was a little surprised. Li Xingchen seemed to be in a good mood after drinking the bowl of soup before, so why was he worried again?
"Wei Shou!" There was a hint of chill in Li Xingchen's voice, which made Cao Zhong and Dai Cai look at each other.
"What's wrong with Wei Shou?" Xiao Shilian asked hurriedly.
He reached out and tapped on the map, and Li Xingchen said firmly: "The reason why Wei Xiaokuan is lingering in Tiangongyuan and moving forward step by step is because he knows that even if he is dragged here by us, Wei Shou can still break through Mianzhu Pass
Rush into Shu County!"
"But Wei Shou's troops at Mianzhu Pass are not partial troops, and their number is not that large?" Xiao Shilian couldn't help but said in surprise. This was the consensus reached by everyone before. The main force of the enemy should still be Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong, and Wei Shou should be just to contain and challenge them.
Mianzhu Pass should apply pressure.
After all, after Pei Zilie took Mianzhu Pass, he directly blocked the north gate of Shu County. Logically speaking, Wei Shou would not attack by force.
Taking down Tiangongyuan and encircling it in two directions should be Wei Xiaokuan's real intention in the eyes of Xiao Shilian and others, but now why does Li Xingchen turn his attention to Wei Shou again?
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and tapped on the map: "It may have been the case originally, but as Wei Shou broke through Mianzhu Pass, it was no longer the case."
Immediately understanding what Li Xingchen meant, Xiao Shilian's expression changed: "Doesn't that mean that the doctor's side is very dangerous?"
"This is just someone's guess," Li Xingchen shook his head, "but purely from the perspective of the current battle situation, this may be Wei Xiaokuan's best choice. However, this is undoubtedly a betrayal and violation of the balance maintained between him and Yuchi Jiong.
destroy······"
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen raised his head and looked out the door.
Court, war situation, Wei Xiaokuan, which one will you choose?
Competition in the court, complete victory on the battlefield, sometimes you can't help but make choices... Even if you are a famous general, even if you have been on the battlefield for so many years, you can only bow your head in the face of reality.
After all, you are not a god.

"There should be the enemy's crossbows here, and there are trebuchets on the slope behind the mountain." Li Xun stretched out his hand and clicked on the map. "The crossbows are all covered with branches and disguised as haystacks, or even dug into pits and buried in
Underground, and the trebuchets are only assembled when used, and there is no reason to suspect that the enemy's trebuchets are changing positions at any time."
"Li Xingchen must have craftsmen following him in his army, and he can control crossbows and trebuchets. He is at least a lieutenant general and a supervisor at the left and right levels. This shows that Li Xingchen is not unprepared for this battle," Wei Xiaokuan said lightly.
, "In other words, Li Xingchen is not without any help in Beijing and the DPRK, nor is he a complete abandonment as we imagined."
The two generals, He Lou Ziqian and Li Xun, glanced at each other subconsciously and nodded slightly at the same time. He Lou Ziqian said in a deep voice:
"Now the Major General has captured Lutoushan and half of Mianzhu Pass. It is difficult for Pei Zilie to hold it with a pass. So once Mianzhu Pass is breached, the dilemma of Bashu will naturally be solved. Even if Li Xingchen has someone behind his back,
I'm afraid it won't be of much use if you try to help me... What are you still worried about, General?"
Wei Xiaokuan frowned slightly: "The attack at Mianzhu Pass is fast, but the attack at Tiangongyuan is slow. This is what I am most worried about..."
Compared with dealing with Li Xingchen and Nan Chen, maintaining a check and balance with Yuchi Jiong was what really made Wei Xiaokuan helpless and at a loss.
He did not expect that things would turn out to be like this. If Yuchijiong really suspected that Wei Xiaokuan had other arrangements and plans, Wei Xiaokuan could not defend himself.
