The five hundred and ninetieth chapter is also missing
What's more, there are not so many right and wrong in the world, and sometimes what is more needed is a clear conscience. Pei Zilie asked himself that he had never done anything to disgrace his soldiers and people, nor had he done anything to disgrace the court.
The court could not blame Li Xinchen alone for forcing them to take this path. After all, Pei Zilie had to admit that there was nothing wrong with what Li Xinchen said before.
They fought bloody battles on the battlefield, not just for the imperial court to manipulate at will!
After a long time, Pei Zilie said with a smile: "Shizhong, what should we do next?"
Although everything has returned to the original question, everyone can feel that Pei Zilie, who asked this question again at this time, has a very different mentality from just now.
Li Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Now that this matter is over, we can return to Shu County. You must know that after taking Shu County, I haven't even entered the city once!"
Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.
Li Xingchen has been in Langzhong and Cangxi Valley. Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen were entirely responsible for the war in Shu County. Therefore, Li Xingchen had never even seen the gate tower of Shu County, let alone entered the city.
And Li Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He said these words that he had been holding back for too long, which made him feel a lot more comfortable. More importantly, Li Xingchen finally got the approval of Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie, his right-hand men.
He is destined not to walk this road alone. Now there are Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and countless people around him who are united by Li Xingchen.
I am not alone in my ways, maybe this is how I feel.
As for what Chen Xu prepared for Li Xinchen next, Li Xinchen was not afraid, but Li Xinchen was a little helpless.
Because he guessed that Chen Xu's will would arrive soon, and he would not have much time to take a breath. He was bound to face another fierce battle. Dealing with Chen Xu was not much easier than dealing with Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong.
Heroes and heroes are not easy to be.
Li Xingchen's eyes fell on the green hills not far away.
There are mountains behind this mountain, and behind the mountains there are people you care about and miss.
Xiao Xiang, Lechang, and the girl who naysayers every day...
I don’t know what your experience has been like. Are you still missing me at this time?
——————————————-
The green mountains are faint and the green water is leisurely.
Cangxi Valley always looks peaceful and peaceful, and it seems that it has never really been disturbed by blood and fire. A belated spring rain washes the Cangshan Mountain and moisturizes all things, and the last bit of gunpowder smoke also dissipates in this spring rain.
.
On the road between the valleys, the Northern Zhou army was meandering forward. Only the shouts of the generals or commanders who were opening the way could be heard faintly. Most of the soldiers were walking forward listlessly, with the weapons in their hands and the weapons on their bodies.
The armor seemed to be so heavy that they didn't even want to move forward.
There was only a little food to satisfy their hunger, and the defeat they had to accept in the end had obviously reduced the morale of this army to a very terrible level.
However, it is obvious that the generals who commanded the army have no intention of imposing any more restrictions. Anyway, now that the peace treaty has been reached, the outcome of this war has been achieved, and they no longer need to fight with their lives in a short period of time.
Yuchi Jiong also sat on the horse and gently spurred the horse forward. The old general's face did not look dejected, he just squinted slightly and looked at the surrounding mountains and rivers.
Yu Chijiong was not surprised by the result of the negotiation that Wei Xiaokuan got back. In other words, the compromises and concessions Wei Xiaokuan made to Li Xingchen had been expected by the two of them.
Li Xingchen would get out of the way, and the Northern Zhou army could keep their weapons and use the long snake formation to reach Jiameng Pass through Cangxi Valley. The Jiange and Zitong on the south side of Jiameng Pass should be transferred to Li Xingchen before then. Wei Xiaokuan also thought about this
Very happily, Cui Hongdu and Li Xun had already set off with his general orders. The defenders there were all Wei Xiaokuan's subordinates, so they would naturally obey the orders.
If Wei Xiaokuan wants to continue playing tricks in Cangxi Valley, Li Xingchen will definitely not be polite to him.
After retreating to Jiameng Pass, Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong should lead their troops out of Shu Road to retreat to Hanzhong, and then Li Xingchen would send troops to take over Jiameng Pass.
At the same time, Li Xingchen was responsible for escorting He Lou Ziqian and his subordinates captured by Li Xingchen directly to Jiameng Pass. The two parties handed over at Jiameng Pass. It can be said that this was the last bargaining chip in Li Xingchen's hand to ensure that Wei Xiaokuan would not stay at Jiameng Pass.
Walk.
Of course, this is only superficial. On a deeper level, Wei Xiaokuan, as the supreme commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Hanzhong area, ensured that Li Xingchen would not be attacked within a year, and both parties maintained the status quo. Of course, this was a verbal agreement on the premise that Wei Xiaokuan was still the commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Wei Xiaokuan
Although he held a high and powerful position, he did not have the guts to reach any written agreement on mutual non-aggression with Li Xingchen without asking the court for instructions.
From the current point of view, Li Xingchen still took advantage, but at least the troops under Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong had a way of survival. After all, for the current Northern and Southern Dynasties, military strength was a very important factor.
The previous Battle of Bashu has clearly proved that without enough troops and horses, it is just a dream to defend or attack. The city of Shu County is high and deep, and in the end it was not because of lack of troops that Chen Zhishen easily captured it.
.
This is the lesson that the Battle of Bashu taught the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong must certainly learn from it.
For many years, the Northern Zhou Dynasty paid more attention to the quantity of the army rather than the quality in marching and fighting. This was mainly because the number of troops in the north was more than that in the south of the Yangtze River, especially since the south of the Yangtze River had experienced Hou Jing's Rebellion before and was even more depleted.
Therefore, in the previous Battle of Bashu, the local troops of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which lacked training and were small in number, faced Li Xingchen's troops. In many cases, they were almost unable to fight. This was what made Wei Xiaokuan the most vigilant.
If Wei Xiaokuan were to evaluate his opponent, it would be a combination of elite soldiers and strong generals. Li Xingchen used the Nanchen elites under his command who had experienced many battles and the Ba people who later defected to him. It can be said that he used the advantages and strengths of different subordinates.
All of them were carried forward, and Wei Xiaokuan asked himself that he could not do this in many situations.
This also made Wei Xiaokuan not dare to relax at all towards Li Xinchen, and the soldiers and horses under his command must be preserved. Wei Xiaokuan now knows that it is not easy to deal with Li Xinchen with just a large number of soldiers and horses, but if he is even
There is no way to guarantee the number of soldiers and horses, so there is nothing to fight for.
"Canggu is ahead." Yu Chishun's voice suddenly woke up Yu Chijiong.
After passing Changgu, it was Li Xingchen's territory. Yuchi Jiong said in a low voice: "Send the order, restrain all the ministries, and pass quickly without causing trouble."
"No!" Yu Chishun agreed.
Yuchi Jiong looked at the open valley in front of him without saying a word, but the old man's eyes were a little moist.
This was once the land of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
