PS: I spent a whole day in the hospital for a check-up because of my friend’s tuberculosis. I’m very sorry for not having time to update in time. I hope everyone can understand and I sincerely wish everyone good health.
In fact, Li Xingchen had other ideas in his mind. He negotiated with Wei Xiaokuan for more than just these reasons. After all, although these reasons were sometimes fatal to a newly rising force, they were not enough to make Li Xingchen stop for a month.
To the point where I can't wait.
What Li Xingchen really planned was to take advantage of this opportunity to maintain a certain period of recuperation with Northern Zhou. In other words, to transfer the conflict away, so that Northern Zhou would turn its target on Nan Chen after knowing that he was a tough nut to crack.
Although this approach is a bit cruel, Li Xingchen has no choice. He didn't have much ties and attachments to Nanchen in the first place, but now in order to maintain the territory that his men finally won and the military forces that he worked hard to win over,
, Li Xingchen could only do this.
He needs time to integrate and develop, and he needs time to lick his wounds, instead of fighting to the death with the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the vast mountains of Bashu all year round, let alone having to beware of sharp blades that may stab him in the back all the time.
Li Xingchen needed to reach a tacit understanding with Wei Xiaokuan, or with the Northern Zhou Dynasty court behind Wei Xiaokuan. He used the victory in Shu County and Langzhong to tell them that he was a hedgehog and not so easy to provoke. Naturally, he could not let the two sides completely break up and fight to the death.
This is not what Li Xingchen wants to see now.
Putting more troops into the bottomless pit of Bashu is probably not what the Northern Zhou Dynasty wanted to see.
This cannot be said to Pei Zilie, because Pei Zilie is still on Nan Chen's side from the bottom of his heart. Of course, Li Xinchen feels that this is causing trouble, and of course he cannot say it clearly. However, Li Xinchen also believes that it is impossible for Pei Zilie not to understand that he
the meaning of.
After all, Li Xingchen did this for this group. Even if Pei Zilie wanted to express his dissatisfaction, he would definitely not say so. After all, Li Xingchen also knew that the master Pei in front of him was not a ignorant and loyal person.
Or in other words, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were not originally a unified dynasty. After five hundred years of chaos, people's minds changed. Such dynasty changes and wars and killings have obviously made most people tired of it. Now what the people want is no longer a country that can
It is a time of peace that allows heroes to thrive in troubled times.
What the heroes of this era want to do is no longer to separate one side from another, but to finally unify the world and end this chaotic world in one fell swoop.
As for the current Nanchen, it goes without saying that Chen Xu, the older generation of monarchs, is already old. Everyone knows how many years he can really control this country, and Chen Xu has become increasingly slow to respond to the general trend of the world.
, this is also seen by many people. Chen Xu's previous determination to march troops to Huaibei after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the wars started in Xiangyang and Huaibei this time are the best proof.
After Chen Xu, what kind of virtues does Chen Shubao, the future prince, have? Needless to say, Li Xingchen, Pei Zilie also knows it in his mind. Therefore, Nan Chen, who lives in a corner, is destined to be unable to become the future master of the world, especially Nan Chen's bloated bureaucracy.
And the aristocratic family system that has not been abandoned so far has made Nanchen even more difficult.
Faced with such a situation, the easiest way is to use the most brutal means to overthrow everything and start over, and to do so, a young and promising person must be the leader and supporter.
Obviously, Li Xingchen in front of Pei Zilie is the best choice.
Whether to be a loyal minister of Nan Chen or to be a follower of the dragon as the future master of the world, Pei Zilie must have had some thoughts in his mind, and he is now firmly on Li Xinchen's side, and he has obviously told Li Xinchen his answer.
.
If you want to dominate the world, the first thing you need is a foothold. Bashu is obviously the foothold that Li Xingchen likes. Bashu is located in the embrace of mountains and is famous among military strategists for being "easy to enter.
"It's not easy to get out." Over the past thousands of years, countless heroes have burrowed into Bashu and never came out again.
For example, Gongsun Shu who claimed to be the "White Emperor", or Liu Bei, the founding emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, even with the help of Zhuge Liang, who was legendary among the people, they could only stop at Qishan in the end.
The only one who was truly capable of entering and exiting Bashu was Han Gaozu.
But there are many shortcomings in Bashu, at least it is one of the few places in this troubled world that has not been repeatedly ravaged by war - even the prosperous and beautiful places in the south of the Yangtze River were once affected by Hou Jing's war, and it took more than 20 years for Nanchen Jianguo to start to improve -
—A place where Li Xingchen can develop people's livelihood and agriculture with peace of mind as his backing.
It's better than nothing.
This is Li Xinchen's foothold, but it is not up to Li Xinchen to gain a foothold here. He needs the support of the local people. Li Xinchen has already done this. The local Xiajiang Tang family and local generals have
He firmly stood on Li Xinchen's side. What's more important is that the Ba people who have been troubled by Bashu for many years are now under Li Xinchen's command, and Li Xinchen has proven with a series of victories that he has the ability to lead the Ba people.
It can be said that Li Xingchen at least did not have much resistance locally. His resistance mainly came from the north and east, that is, the two behemoths of the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Southern Chen Dynasty.
Li Xinchen didn't know what the court of Nanchen was planning. After all, Chen Xu had obviously been unhappy with him for a long time. But Li Xinchen also knew that if he wanted to go back and solve the problem of Nanchen, he should at least solve the problem of Northern Zhou.
However, the war is going on like this, and the court has not made any statement so far. Even Xiao Mohe's letter only contains some encouragement for Li Xinchen at most. The words are so ambiguous that Li Xinchen is not sure about the court's attitude at all.
Sometimes the more things are left unsaid and the more ambiguous some attitudes are, the easier it is for people to feel in danger.
This is why Li Xingchen is anxious to end the fight with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At least now there is no need to continue fighting this battle. If the battle continues, Li Xingchen will not be able to sustain it, and neither will the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the end, Nanchen may even attack Li Xingchen behind his back.
.
For Li Xingchen, worries about the future have now outweighed the enemies in front of him.
"Shizhong, have you thought about the terms you want to offer to the people of Zhou?" Pei Zilie said after careful consideration.
Li Xingchen suddenly woke up and raised his lips: "I will definitely not treat Wei Xiaokuan badly."
Pei Zilie was startled for a moment, then nodded: "But after you killed Wei Shou, do you really think that Wei Xiaokuan would just let it go and negotiate with you honestly?"
"If it were someone else, maybe I wouldn't, and I wouldn't even think about it. But Wei Xiaokuan... I still have a glimmer of hope." Li Xingchen said lightly, "How will you know if you don't try?"
Pei Zilie laughed: "Try it... If you try it, you will be able to conquer the whole of Bashu."
But Li Xingchen didn't pay attention to Pei Zilie's teasing. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he said: "He will agree."
