Li Xingchen waved his hand quickly: "Of course, Brother Xiao has also briefly introduced it, plus I made some inquiries in the military camp before, so I claim to be familiar with the Battle of Luliang."
Xiao Mohe nodded: "Then my nephew, you might as well tell me, have we really taken advantage of the Battle of Luliang so far? Now our army of Da Chen may have to withdraw from the land of Luliang at any time. The land of Luliang
What was gained was lost again, and the Northern Zhou army was far stronger than the Northern Qi army at that time. The land of Luliang was lost, and it would not be so easy to get it back..."
Li Xingchen chuckled: "But I dare to ask General Xiao, the land of Luliang originally belonged to my minister?"
"This..." Xiao Mohe was startled for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "No."
Li Xingchen immediately went on to say: "Therefore, in the Battle of Luliang, our army was able to briefly capture the land of Luliang. In fact, it has gained something. Firstly, it can train the army. Secondly, it also shows the possibility of our army crossing the Huaihe River to attack north.
Of course, this is not enough. Please consider this, did the Northern Dynasty suffer any losses during the Battle of Luliang?"
Li Xinchen's voice gradually became louder and even a little aggressive, but Xiao Mohe obviously didn't notice this at this time. As Li Xinchen finished speaking, he already vaguely understood what Li Xinchen meant. In fact, Li Xinchen just considered the problem from a different angle.
Now Xiao Mohe, Xiao Shilian and even Wu Mingche are all thinking from the perspective of Luliang's gains and losses. Looking at Nanchen's aggressive crossing of the Huai River to the north, and finally retreating in despair in front of the Northern Zhou army, it is indeed
Not really a victory.
But conversely, if you look at it from the perspective of the Northern Dynasty, in the first two stages of the Battle of Luliang, the Northern Qi and later the Northern Zhou Dynasty lost their troops and generals, and even lost the land of Luliang for a time. In the end, they had to mobilize the troops that had just conquered the Northern Qi, and even
There was also the surrender of the Northern Qi army that had not yet had time to reorganize, and it took the whole country to force Nanchen to retreat. Whether it was two disastrous defeats or an expedition, it was a loss for the Northern Dynasty.
The Northern Dynasty suffered a loss, and conversely, it can be said that the Southern Dynasty took advantage.
"If we retreat in time now," Li Xingchen saw the expressions of Xiao and his son changing, and then said, "the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty mobilized their troops but failed, and in the end they only got the land of Luliang that should have been theirs.
And it has not yet achieved the goal of strangling my main army, so naturally the gain outweighs the loss."
After a pause, Li Xingchen said loudly: "If we get out in time now, the Battle of Luliang can be regarded as a draw even if we don't win. But if we are still waiting here now, we are waiting to die. Once
If the Battle of Luliang fails, the general must also know what the consequences will be!"
Xiao Shilian frowned and looked at his father. Not to mention Xiao Mohe, he knew very well what the consequences would be, especially for Nan Chen now. If he was really defeated in Luliang, then I'm afraid
Guo Zuo is on the verge of collapse.
Nan Chen can't win this battle, but he can't afford to lose either.
A tie might actually be the best ending.
Xiao Mohe sighed deeply: "I also know this truth, but it's a pity that Old General Wu is still worried about it. After all, it was the Old General's hard work for many years to capture Luliang. If he abandons it like this, what will happen to the Old General's heart?"
make life difficult for······"
Li Xingchen made up his mind, turned around and faced Xiao Mohe and cupped his hands: "General, the barbarian sentries are coming from the north, which means that their reinforcements are not far away. These sentries can run away at a touch. In the eyes of juniors, they should not be
Because they have few people, but they are eager to explore the layout of our army and the terrain in this area. Only in this way can they better weave a dragnet and completely trap us here!"
Xiao Mohe's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears. Apparently after Li Xingchen's analysis, he became more and more aware of the danger faced by himself or the entire Nanchen army. And Xiao Shilian couldn't help but take a step forward: "Dad, what's going on?
It’s not too late, now…”
Raising his hand, Xiao Mohe nodded: "I understand this truth, so I will go and meet with General Wu now."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Mohe grabbed the helmet and sword on the table and walked outside. When he reached the door of the camp, he suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen: "You two also
Follow here!"
Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian were startled for a moment and nodded quickly.
Waiting for Xiao Mohe to go out first, Xiao Shilian turned his head slightly and looked at Li Xingchen, with a look of worry that could not be concealed on his face. After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and said in a deep voice: "Brother Li, what do you mean, Dad?"
Why did you insist on taking the two of us there?"
Li Xingchen chuckled lightly; "I'm afraid General Xiao himself is not completely sure in his heart, not to mention that some words for us two juniors may be better than what he said himself...
After all, when you are in the position General Xiao is in, there are some things you can’t just say without thinking.”
Xiao Shilian was silent for a long time and sighed heavily: "To be honest, I originally thought that the war was about two sides competing for strategies, fighting desperately on the battlefield, with passion and joy, but who would have thought that only now do I realize that not everyone can let go.
Fighting with hands, up and down. If one person hesitates, thousands of others will hesitate. Under mutual constraints, whether to retreat or advance, we can still struggle for so long. This battle is too useless."
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Brother Xiao, be careful what you say."
Xiao Shilian snorted heavily and didn't say much. But Li Xingchen shook his head. Li Xingchen understood Xiao Shilian's meaning very well. Rushing on the battlefield and rejoicing in grudges are the most satisfying. But the actual situation is often not like this. Nanchen's army was in a deadlock.
The fundamental reason is not that Xiao Mohe and Wu Mingche cannot see clearly the situation in front of them, but because Wu Mingche still has concerns in his heart.
Wu Mingche's thoughts can also be understood by Li Xingchen. For such a veteran general who has been in the military all his life, he certainly hopes that he can win the last battle and return to the field with honor. However, now that the situation is getting worse, Wu Mingche vaguely realizes that he cannot
Victory was achieved, but there was still a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, when Xiao Mohe stood up to persuade Wu Mingche, he was actually opposing Wu Mingche. As for Xiao Mohe himself, his foundation was too weak. If he wanted to gain a foothold after Wu Mingche left, he must make use of the team left by Wu Mingche.
Therefore, it is certainly not appropriate to offend Wu Mingche at this time. It is precisely because Xiao Mohe also has his own considerations, so he has been hesitating whether to persuade further. Even until Li Xingchen clearly told this, everyone realized it, but did not
After mercilessly exposing the truth that people wanted to believe, Xiao Maha still hesitated.
This is why he insisted on taking Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian with him. As Li Xingchen said, there were some words that were not suitable for Xiao Mohe, who had other thoughts, to say to Wu Mingche.
