When the war broke out, Yuchi Jong came to ask Wei Xiaokuan to transfer provisions for the troops and horses.
Although Wei Xiaokuan has always been fair and knows his responsibilities, it does not mean that he will be selfless. Helping Yu Chijiong is harming himself, so Wei Xiaokuan will not do such stupid things. His fairness is only limited to the extent that his own interests are not affected.
In case of threat.
Obviously Wei Xiaokuan also knew how important Fangling was. After the Guanzhong Rebellion broke out, Wei Xiaokuan sent troops from Fangling to the north. The defenders in Shangyong, Xincheng and other places were all demobilized, leaving only a thousand troops in Fangling.
Soldiers and horses, these 1,000 soldiers and horses don't seem to be many, but when you think about Wei Xiaokuan, he only left Li Xun and 2,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, you know how much Wei Xiaokuan valued Fangling. More importantly, compared to
The two thousand old and weak soldiers in Hanzhong were all direct descendants of Wei Xiaokuan's Chinese army, and they were also the absolute main force that Wei Xiaokuan relied on to advance in the Battle of Bashu.
At this time, Xiao Mohe has already moved in the south. Even if Xiao Mohe doesn't move, with such a guy eyeing him, the Xiangyang defenders don't dare to rashly provoke Fangling's army. It's better to remain nominal allies like this. Of course.
Also because Xiangyang City currently has sufficient grain and grass but insufficient soldiers and horses, there is no need for Fangling to transport grain and grass.
Of course, now that Li Xingchen is leading his army southward, with his troops pointing directly at Fangling, the defenders of Xiangyang have no intention of going north to support them.
Therefore, Li Xingchen's words were more of a mockery.
The civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty has now reached the point of being ignored. Although a large-scale war has not yet broken out, looking at the mutually coordinated command of both sides, it can be imagined that this civil strife is inevitable no matter when it breaks out.
Be it Yang Jian or Yu Wenxian, they can either grit their teeth and adapt to this trend, no matter which direction they are swept by, at least their lives can be saved for the time being, or they can grit their teeth and watch the wheels of history roll over them.
Flesh and blood turned to mud.
"Deploy a team of light cavalry to occupy Shangyong and Xincheng," Li Xingchen said immediately, "If others don't want Wuguan, I should consider it."
The generals looked at each other subconsciously. If they attack Xiangyang, they must also attack Wuguan. What are their generals thinking? Although Yu Wenxian's main force is now in Luoyang, and Yang Jian's main force is in Sanfu, he has no leisure to take care of things in the south of Guanzhong.
But once Li Xingchen opens Wuguan, it means that he will officially set foot in Guanzhong.
"It still needs to be done." Li Xingchen sighed, "Those two in Guanzhong and Luoyang will have to fight sooner or later. If we send some troops and horses so that they can feel the crisis, they will naturally take action earlier."
The generals were a little confused. Did the general want to attack Guanzhong or not?
Only Pei Zilie chuckled, this guy Li Xingchen is really sinister.
The civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty seemed inevitable, and Li Xingchen did not intend to intervene in the war in Guanzhong, which eventually led to unexpected changes. However, it is obvious that Li Xingchen was very impatient and unwilling to take action against the confrontation between Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian, so he simply
Go to Wuguan Gate for a walk and tell them that if they don't take action, Li Xingchen won't mind going directly to Guanzhong to compete with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Then the three-party melee will be interesting.
I guess Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian didn't want the situation to become so chaotic.
Li Xingchen didn't want to explain this issue too much. There were some issues that Li Xingchen didn't want to explain to the people below. It was not easy to explain clearly, and Li Xingchen didn't need these generals to understand too much at this time.
The political struggle at the top is not a good thing for Li Xingchen, who has not yet completely established a foothold.
After all, it seems to outsiders that Li Xingchen's group is moving forward wholeheartedly, but Li Xingchen himself knows that this is just because the pressure of survival forces them to unite as one, otherwise the conflicts between the Jiangnan faction, the Bashu faction and the Ba people will definitely
It is infinitely amplified and may one day explode like the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Now that Li Xingchen has captured Hanzhong, and will predictably capture Xiangyang in the future, he is no longer a dispensable young man struggling in a corner. His every word, every move,
It may have an impact on the entire era.
Therefore, Li Xingchen has to make some calculations now, and at least for a period of time in the future, he will have to concentrate on cleaning up his internal affairs.
Perhaps many people don't know that Li Xingchen more or less contributed to the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He did not want to obtain countless benefits from it, and the point was not even how much land he captured. What Li Xingchen needed was time, time that allowed him to recuperate.
, the time that allows him to adjust the internal structure and smooth out the chaotic internal system is the most important to Li Xingchen.
Many people think that space and military power are the most important to Li Xinchen, but in fact it is time. As long as there is unlimited time, Li Xinchen can copy a new modern civilization in this era. Of course, this will take a long time, but at least it will give
In Li Xinchen's two or three years, he could allow the entire Bashu and Hanzhong to recuperate and make the Kingdom of Abundance worthy of its name. At the same time, he could also use the equipment and ideas that should be ahead of the times to help the entire Bashu take off.
Every bit of time needs to be squeezed out bit by bit by Li Xingchen from the gaps between his teeth and snatched from the hands of Yang Jian and others. Li Xingchen doesn't know how much time is left for him, but he has to try his best to fight for more.
.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen felt a little emotional in his heart. He, a dignified Marquis of Hanzhong, had turned the original false seal into a real seal, but in the end he hurried south without even entering Hanzhong City.
It seems that this life will be a hard life.
After sighing, he had to do what he had to do. At that moment, Li Xingchen waved his hand: "We will attack Fangling tomorrow. We will go back early today to train our soldiers. We have been marching for a few days. If someone sees someone under his command not fighting hard tomorrow, then someone will do it."
But I’m not polite to you anymore!”
The generals burst into laughter and retreated one after another.
Pei Zilie fell at the back. When the people in front left, he was not in a hurry to leave. He stopped and turned around and said, "Shizhong, are you really so confident about attacking Xiangyang this time?"
Li Xingchen glanced at him and shook his head: "To be honest, no."
Pei Zilie had obviously expected that Li Xingchen would have this idea and smiled slightly.
And Li Xingchen waved his hands helplessly: "But there are some territories that we must seize at any cost, and there are some battles that must be fought."
After a pause, Li Xingchen looked at the map that he had looked at countless times, and murmured: "War... sometimes is not an extension of the court, but simply a matter of survival..."
