And Li Xingchen was fully occupied, with his hands behind his back, looking at the endless darkness in the distance. To be honest, this was something Li Xingchen didn't expect. There were many reasons why he chose to launch an attack on the hillside where Helou Zigan was entrenched at this time.
Firstly, after Li Xingchen noticed He Lou Ziqian's weakness, he wanted to take this opportunity to solve this personal problem in one go. Secondly, he also wanted to use such a big noise to lure Cao Xiaoda to continue his march. After all, Li Xingchen was in the surrounding woods for Cao Xiaoda.
A lot of surprises have been prepared, but at least from now on, with Cao Xiaoda's cautious character, even if he breaks in, it is difficult for all these traps to be effective.
It's a pity that Cao Xiaoda didn't actually break in as Li Xingchen did. The battle between the two sides was ultimately limited to the battle of scouts. After losing more than a dozen scouts, Cao Xiaoda decisively issued the order to retreat and rearranged in Liushugou.
Defense, obviously did not intend to rescue He Louzi cadres who were getting closer and closer.
"Retreating is not a bad thing." After a long time, He Lou Zigan just sighed lowly and tilted his head slightly, "Li Shizhong, we have a lot of troubles. I hope you can let someone live to see you defeated.
.”
Li Xingchen smiled softly, turned and left: "We'll see."
"General, what are we going to do next?" Seeing Li Xingchen approaching, Du Qi and Li Xun hurriedly came up to meet him. The battle was a thrilling one. Capturing He Louzi alive was a huge victory. They had never thought of it before.
OK.
Li Xingchen waved his hand: "Pack up our things, let's retreat. There is nothing left to miss here, but the scout is staying. If Cao Xiaoda still wants to spy on the information here, we can't give him any advantage. After all, he has worked so hard to set up the trap."
"No!" Du Qi and Li Xun responded hurriedly. After this battle, Li Xunchen was already like a god in the eyes of the Ba people.
Li Xingchen looked worriedly at the place where Cao Xiaoda was stationing troops.
Cao Xiaoda... You finally chose to back down, but do you think this can always guarantee the safety of Cangxi Valley...
But having said that, you gave someone a very good excuse and reason to give up rescuing He Lou Zigan. I wonder how many more times Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jun can safely withstand such provocations?

"This coward is so stupid!" Xiao Shilian slammed the table, very angry.
With so many people present, the most depressing person must be Xiao Shilian. Xiao Shilian originally accepted the most arduous task. Whether it was to keep an eye on Cao Xiaoda, or later to preside over the battle with Cao Xiaoda's forward, it was Xiao Shilian's task.
However, Cao Xiaoda laid out a watertight formation at the beginning, so Xiao Shilian couldn't find any trouble, so he could only retreat from Liushugou unhappy. After that, Li Xingchen laid a lot of traps and ambushes. Xiao Shilian was planning to teach Cao Xiaoda a lesson.
At that time, Cao Xiaoda led his army to retreat, which surprised Xiao Shilian.
So when Li Xingchen saw Xiao Shilian, the guy was so angry that he wanted to break the table in front of him.
"It's not wrong for Cao Xiaoda to do this from his perspective," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "We can't always take advantage, right?"
Xiao Shilian snorted, while Du Qi and Li Xun looked at each other helplessly.
Following Li Xingchen in the war, they had gradually understood the young general's mentality.
As long as you don't take advantage, you will suffer a loss.
In this battle, Li Xingchen almost wiped out all of He Lou Zigan's troops, and even captured He Lou Zigan alive. At the same time, he forced Cao Xiaoda back, which caused the Northern Zhou's military strength in Cangxi Valley to drop sharply for a while. It cannot be said that he did not take advantage, and it can even be said that it was a big
Victory. But now it sounds like Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian just feel that they "didn't suffer a loss"?
For a while, both Du Qi and Li Xun felt that they could not keep up with Li Xinchen's ideas.
Li Xingchen did not continue to struggle with Xiao Shilian on this issue, but stretched out his hand to point on the map and said in a deep voice: "Have you seen this place? How long will it take for someone to conquer all these levels?"
Du Qi and Li Xun hurriedly took a step forward, their expressions were astonished. The place Li Xingchen pointed at was at the southern end of Cangxi Valley. It was a small camp in the Northern Zhou Dynasty with hundreds of people garrisoned. There were several checkpoints around this small camp.
, the main purpose of this camp is to move patrol personnel back and forth between these levels, and to stockpile some food in case of a battle that may break out at any time.
Now Cao Xiaoda is leading the army to the north, and the main force of the Ba people is also in the north. On the south side, there are actually only some scouts and scattered guerrilla raiding teams. Therefore, if you want to attack here, you will definitely need to mobilize your troops south.
Li Xun and Du Qi didn't know why Li Xinchen suddenly focused on this southern level.
Xiao Shilian gently rubbed his chin, but he noticed something, and said after careful consideration: "Shizhong, you are really insidious like this. I'm afraid this is your real purpose, right?"
Li Xinchen smiled slightly and did not deny it. Instead, he looked up at Du Qi and Li Xun, obviously asking them if it was feasible.
Du Qi thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "General, there are a total of twenty miles from our current position to here. If you give me one day, I should be able to arrive. I will capture this camp within two days!"
"
"Well," Li Xingchen nodded solemnly, "I'll leave it to you. You must win it!"
"No!" Du Qi didn't dare to neglect, turned and left.
Li Xunchen then looked at Li Xun: "Look, here, and here, these roads are all blocked. Anyone who wants to fly over must be stopped by someone!"
Li Xun was startled for a moment. The direction Li Xingchen was pointing was to several important roads in the north of Cangxi Valley. These roads were originally patrolled by soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but because they were relatively far north, they were almost within the inspection range of the Jiange defenders.
So there are no camps, checkpoints, etc.
Now with Helou Zigan's entire army annihilated, there are no more Northern Zhou troops in these places. After all, the defense on the north side is tight, and all the troops have been retracted to guard several important checkpoints on the main road of Cangxi Valley.
"I have ordered Pei Zilie and sent scouts to block the roads outside Jiange. Now we will block these roads again," Li Xingchen said lightly, "The entire Cangxi Valley seems to be the last passage, but in fact it is also a new Jedi.
"
Li Xun shuddered and hurriedly raised his hand.
Seeing Li Xun turn around and leave, Li Xingchen couldn't help but let out a breath. Xiao Shilian noticed something and looked over: "Why, do you think there is something wrong?"
Li Xingchen tapped his fingers on the table, frowned and said: "There are so many variables this time, and next time... I don't know what kind of changes there will be."
