At the foot of Dingjun Mountain, the Bashu army's camp has been set up, surrounding several important roads up and down Dingjun Mountain.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, as the curtain opened, a famous general walked in quickly, and the soldiers standing on guard at the door looked at these generals who were either familiar or unfamiliar, with surprise on their faces.
look.
When they finally saw Li Xingchen coming quickly surrounded by Li Ping's personal guards, the soldiers finally couldn't contain their excitement and saluted Li Xingchen at the same time. Li Xingchen smiled slightly, returned the salute and then strode in.
"He is really the Marquis of Hanzhong." Looking at Li Xingchen's back, a young soldier murmured.
"With so many generals here, and Hanzhong Hou personally commanding, this battle is truly a fight." Another general who led the team couldn't help but sigh.
In the camp, the generals whom they had not seen for a long time were chatting in low voices. When they saw Li Xingchen coming in, they stopped talking at the same time.
"See General!" Dai Cai, Chen Zhishen and others all handed over their hands.
Li Xingchen smiled and nodded to Dai Cai, Chen Zhishen and others. This was the first time since he went to Jiankang Mansion that he met these important generals.
Although Xiao Shilian's partial force that crossed Micang Mountain only numbered two to three thousand men, it was personally led by two generals, Chen Zhishen and Dai Cai, who were known to be second only to Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie in Li Xingchen's system.
Li Xingchen transferred Chen Zhishen from Luzhou, firstly because of his trust in Luo Ya, the governor of Luzhou. Now Luzhou is already the rear area of Bashu, and the contact and cooperation with Nanzhong are also progressing steadily, so there is no need for Chen Zhishen to be in charge. Secondly,
How could Chen Zhishen not be present in this war that is likely to determine the fate of the entire Li Xingchen group?
Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie disembarked from Mianzhu Pass, non-stop all the way, and finally caught up with the army that deliberately slowed down. Otherwise, when Xiao Shilian had already launched a battle at Yangping Pass, it would have been impossible for this army to make it.
Go to the foot of Dingjun Mountain.
Pei Zilie had already moved his troops to the south of Dingjun Mountain, oppressing several small camps there, and the main offensive task naturally fell on Li Xingchen's shoulders.
Li Xingchen strode up to the handsome seat and looked around. There were Chen Zhishen, Dai Cai and others who had followed him since he entered Shu, as well as Cheng Feng, Tang Qi and others who had emerged during his journey to Jiankang Mansion. Of course, he had
The chief of the Ba people, Li Xun, who is now a partial general and the governor of Suizhou, also came with the Ba people's troops. The fact that he was able to cross Micang Mountain easily this time had a lot to do with the fact that the Ba people opened the way in front.
As the battles went on, the Ba people's sense of belonging to this group has obviously become very high. Both the Han people and the Ba people have obviously become indistinguishable from each other.
In addition, there are even some figures that Li Xingchen has never seen before. Judging from their standing position and their slightly embarrassed expressions, it can be seen that these are young subordinates who were later promoted by Chen Zhishen and others. Of course, under Li Xingchen's leadership,
There are also several young Ba people behind Xun, but Li Xingchen has an impression of them. Back in Cangxi Valley, these young generals used to follow him in fierce battles, and now it seems that they have grown into generals.
It can be said that these generals are the epitome of everything Li Xinchen has done since he entered Shu, and they are where most of his team is located. This time Li Xinchen will lead this army to break through Dingjun Mountain, and then go all the way south to attack Xiangyang!
Of course, many people still don't know about this battle plan, but Li Xingchen doesn't plan to hide it for long, because he believes that the mountain ahead is just an interlude after all. There are more and more important things to climb over this mountain.
Things need to be done.
"I don't need to say more about the situation in Dingjun Mountain. Li Xun didn't give us any chance to get a glimpse of the situation in the camp. Now there are only two choices before us. One is to lure the enemy into a decisive battle at the foot of the mountain, and the other
One is to attack by force." Li Xingchen said calmly, "I wonder what you guys think about this after being in Dingjun Mountain for many days?"
When Dai Cai, Chen Zhishen and others heard Li Xingchen speak, they were certain in their hearts. In order to wait for Li Xingchen, they had been here at Dingjun Mountain for two days. Although the army had not moved, the investigation of the entire Dingjun Mountain was
It never stopped for a moment.
I have to say that there is a reason why Li Xun gained Wei Xiaokuan's trust. Obviously, he fully learned from the mistakes of Xia Houyuan and Du Xi back then. The camps that are at the horns of each other can advance or retreat. The entire Dingjun Mountain is surrounded by Li Xun's
Under control, this is the only factor that allows Li Xun to reverse his current military disadvantage. Indeed, Li Xun is right about one thing, that is, as a partial division, this unit has a large number of people. In order to be able to conquer it in one fell swoop,
On the Hanzhong and Dingjunshan defense lines, Li Xingchen could say that he used all the troops and horses that could be mobilized in Bashu.
In particular, Pei Zilie's elite troops who then went north had obviously filled the loopholes on the south side of Dingjun Mountain, blocking the last road that could be used by Li Xun to outflank or retreat directly.
Therefore, it can be said that the current situation is that Li Xunchen cannot attack, and it is obvious that Li Xun does not have the ability to kill Li Xunchen and completely defeat him.
"Dingjun Mountain is certainly dangerous, but Li Xun should not be stupid enough to hold on. After seeing the number of our soldiers and horses, he should know clearly that if we fail to attack Dingjun Mountain, then we can leave a certain number of soldiers and horses to guard it.
Road, the rest of the large army will go directly through the valley between the two mountains and continue to advance." Dai Cai considered and said, "So Li Xun will definitely set up a formation at the foot of Dingjun Mountain near the valley in order to stop us."
"Now the situation in Hanzhong has become increasingly clear. Even if we cannot take Yangping Pass in a short time, it is more than enough to control Hanzhong," Chen Zhishen also followed up, "There is not enough food and grass on Dingjun Mountain. With these troops and horses, Li
If you go down the mountain, you may still be able to survive in the desperate situation, but if you don't come out blindly, you are more likely to starve to death."
Before these words could even be finished, the generals all laughed.
Dai Cai and Chen Zhishen also had relaxed expressions on their faces. To be honest, when they first arrived two days ago, they had no idea what was going on, but the arrival of Li Xingchen undoubtedly gave these people peace of mind and they spoke more relaxedly.
A lot.
Li Xunchen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "In that case, we are going to compete with Li Xun and write a letter of challenge to him. We will meet at the foot of the mountain for a battle at noon the day after tomorrow."
But both Dai Cai and Chen Zhishen were a little surprised. According to Li Xunchen's style, surprise troops stand out, undeclared war is the norm, and conspiracy and conspiracy are commonplace. Why do they have to set up a majestic formation to fight Li Xun this time?
