The torches gradually lit up, and the roads in the mountains were illuminated.
Li Xingchen stood with his hands behind his hands beside the moved Luzhai, looking at the shivering Northern Zhou soldiers squatting on the side, and the mess everywhere. Footsteps hurriedly sounded behind him, and the Ba people leaders were surprised to see that this was not a big but... It cannot be said that it is not a brutal battlefield.
It can be said that Li Xinchen staged a textbook-like battle for them, from erasing sentry posts to shooting crossbows and then rushing to kill. Although Li Xinchen had only a dozen personal guards and the rest were scarecrows, these dozen of them were under Li Xinchen's control. It seems that thousands of troops have played a role in their hands.
These Ba people leaders could roughly guess what Li Xingchen wanted to do. At this time, they did not even have the courage to imagine what would happen to the defenders of Cangxi Valley if Li Xingchen removed all the checkpoints around Cangxi Valley in this way. What kind of oppression will occur, and what kind of fear will it bring.
Li Xingchen smiled and said: "I don't think I need to say much about what should be done. If you want to fight side by side with me in the future, and if you don't want the Ba people to continue to linger in the mountains, then I think that after two days, this All the checkpoints around Cangxi Valley should no longer exist."
This time, the Ba leaders did not hesitate at all. They took a step forward and neatly cupped their hands: "General Dang Kou, please rest assured."
Watching the Ba leaders turn and leave, Li Xingchen slowly clenched his fists. He wanted to tell Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong through this kind of continuous harassment that this Cangxi Valley was the main battlefield chosen by Li Xingchen, regardless of Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong. Whether Yuchi is willing or not, as long as they want to escape from Langzhong, they must be prepared to fight Li Xingchen in Cangxi Valley.
As for the two veteran generals who led their troops to attack Tiangongyuan Mountain in an attempt to threaten Li Xingchen's flanks and retreat, then I'm sorry, Li Xingchen will definitely not hesitate to cut off Micang Mountain and Cangxi Valley to let them know what it means to be blocked by grain roads. break.
Xiao Shilian wiped his saber and said in a deep voice: "Shizhong, if we just get rid of these checkpoints, it will not really affect the enemy's defense in Cangxi Valley, as long as the main road of Cangxi Valley is still under control. Among them, I'm afraid Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong will try their best to avoid fighting with us."
Li Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly. He admitted that Xiao Shilian was right. Both Yuchijiong and Wei Xiaokuan had been fighting for most of their lives. It was absolutely impossible for Li Xingchen to get angry because of this little provocation. He tapped his pendant with his fingers. The hilt of the sword, Li Xingchen said lightly:
"This is just the first step. The next step is waiting for Wei Xiaokuan."
Xiao Shilian was startled for a moment and roughly understood what Li Xingchen meant. He couldn't help but take a breath and looked up at the night sky in the distance. It was still dominated by the light of the moon and stars, but it would probably be illuminated by fire soon.
In the light of the fire, the corners of Li Xingchen's mouth slightly raised.
A single spark can start a prairie fire.
It's not a good feeling to feel like a spark of fire igniting a prairie fire.

"What did you say?!" He Lou Zigan looked at the Northern Zhou general who was kneeling in front of him with blood all over his body, and then looked at the corpses on the ground. He knew that what the Northern Zhou general who had escaped from death was talking about was Really, it’s just that He Lou Ziqian couldn’t believe it.
Almost overnight, more than ten peripheral checkpoints were attacked, and more than twenty teams patrolling and transporting grain and grass disappeared. It can be said that thousands of Northern Zhou soldiers disappeared into the vast night.
The sudden attack, the unknown number of enemies, the ferocious attacks...these situations coming from the mouths of the frightened soldiers gave He Lou Zigan a headache.
It is obvious that our side has the advantage of troops and even the terrain advantage in many places. Why do we say that we are attacked when we are attacked, and we are destroyed when we say that we are destroyed?
But the blood-covered generals and the corpses with their heads cut off on the ground are undoubtedly telling He Lou Zigan that this is all true. The more than ten corpses on the ground are all generals and generals above the commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and there are even some
A close general of He Louziqian showed that the enemy's attack was very purposeful, and they also knew who was leading the team here. They needed the heads of these Northern Zhou generals to receive the reward.
Of course, He Lou Ziqian did not believe that the Ba people who had been huddled in the mountains for too long had the ability and courage to organize such a large-scale attack. This could only mean that Li Xingchen had arrived, or that the battle in Cangxi Valley had already begun.
.
Regardless of whether Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong were thoughtful or not, and whether they wanted to fight or not, they had to fight this battle and had no choice.
"Quickly, inform General Cao on the south side of the situation here, and send a copy of the battle report to Jiange and Panlong County." He Lou Zigan waved his hand, "Where is the nearest checkpoint from here? The guards and a certain
Let’s go and see.”
The Cangxi Valley is long and narrow, and is divided into two areas, the north and the south, along the main road. The northern part all the way to Jiange is the responsibility of Wei Xiaokuan's department, and the commander is He Lou Zigan, while the southern part is Yuchijun's general Cao Xiaoda.
Responsible.
Cao Xiaoda was a prudent and courteous man. It should be said that he was the most admired and respected general among Wei Xiaokuan's people in Yuchi Jiong's army. Yuchi Jiong sent him here obviously because he wanted to avoid disputes as much as possible at this time.
He Lou Ziqian had dealt with Cao Xiaoda before and knew that now was the time to join forces to face the enemy, so he had no intention of hiding the situation from Cao Xiaoda.
However, everyone could clearly hear the anger in He Louzigan's words. It was really embarrassing to suffer such a big loss.
All the generals were worried and wanted to speak, but He Louzigan glared: "Li Xingchen is not capable of making trouble for me in broad daylight. You have to show me what you should be responsible for. If anything happens,
, Li Xinchen doesn’t want your heads, and I won’t be polite to you either!”
The generals looked at each other in confusion. Apparently, this overnight change had completely angered He Lou Ziqian. Finally, a close confidant of He Lou Ziqian whispered: "General, are you planning to compete with Li Xingchen first?"
He Lou Ziqian paused for a moment, then said in a cold voice: "I would like to see how much this Li Xingchen weighs."
Several generals subconsciously wanted to speak, but He Lou Zigan waved his hands to stop them from saying any more, his words already filled with impatience:
"Li Xinchen has just arrived. Even if he has colluded with the Ba people before, he will definitely not be able to command easily. Therefore, if we can find Li Xinchen's main force now or lure Li Xinchen into a trap, it will obviously be easier than dealing with him later. We are here
There are more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, just to deal with a Pakistani army, don't you have any confidence at all?"
Everyone is still aware of the bad temper of their leader, and at the moment they can only act submissively.
