Chapter seven hundred and seventy-eight outside the city
"Pei Zilie attacked Longzhong, and Li Xingchen attacked Dengsai. They came very quickly." Xiao Mohe slowly put down the battle report in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.
Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang, who were standing on his left and right, remained silent. These two guys who were both about to mature were not stupid. This time they went north to Xiangyang. The lone army in Xiangyang City certainly made their enemies in Xiangyang.
Li Xunchen, who suddenly appeared in the north of the city and was eyeing him, was not another threatening force.
This time, Li Xinchen suddenly turned his troops south, broke through the weak defense lines such as Dingjun Mountain and Fangling, and rushed directly to Xiangyang. It can be said that it was unexpected by many people, but if it was not unexpected, it was not Li Xinchen's usual style.
.
But everyone present knew that this hungry wolf did not come to help me obediently. Since he is here, he must want to eat meat, especially the fat and oily meat in Xiangyang. For Li Xinchen, a glutton
He said that perhaps he could only satisfy his appetite by swallowing the entire Xiangyang City in one gulp.
The key is that this guy has a good appetite and good digestion. Bashu, a huge country, has always been a fertile ground for resistance to the central government in the hands of the Southern Dynasty. In the end, it even directly separated the country. After the Northern Zhou people came in, they also created a mess and turned into
It was a burden, but who would have thought that after Li Xingchen arrived in Bashu, he would manage a scattered Xiajiang Tang family, thereby gaining a large amount of financial and material resources. At the same time, he would draw the Ba people out of the mountains, naturally supplementing enough manpower to make the entire
Bashu has once again become a land of abundance.
Even the problem of lack of talent has been alleviated by this guy through centralized training of subordinate staff.
It can be said that Li Xingchen was good at fighting and turning the land into his own.
This is a difficult guy to deal with, and the prey he targets has not escaped yet.
Ren Zhong, Chun Yuliang and others exchanged glances. They even felt that they had reason to suspect that Li Xingchen had attempted to capture Xiangyang as early as when he attacked Jiangling. However, even if he captured Xiangyang at that time, it was Xiao Mohe's credit.
, so Li Xingchen simply took Bashu first, and through such a circuitous method, everything finally became a reality.
But then I thought about it, this guy could even turn his virtual title of Hanzhong Marquis into a real title, so it seemed like nothing.
"The camp at Hutou Mountain is already in dilapidated condition. It is unlikely that Cao Xiaoda can defend it. He is expected to retreat in less than two days," Chun Yuliang said in a deep voice. "The general believes that we should hurry up and send scouts to Xian Mountain to find out the enemy's next line of defense."
Virtual reality.”
After saying this, he did not forget to glance at Ren Zhong.
As a forward, Chun Yuliang finally broke through the outer defense line of Hutou Mountain. The next Xian Mountain was almost close to Xiangyang City, so it can be said that he rushed to Xiangyang's inner defense line. In contrast, Ren Zhong is still in Tanshan.
There was not much progress in the area near the stream, which naturally gave Chun Yuliang something to show off.
In response to Chun Yuliang's look, Ren Zhong just snorted, somewhat aggrieved in his heart. Although Cao Xiaoda deployed two lines of defense in the south of Xiangyang City, these two lines of defense may have relied on hills, so the soldiers and horses were not there.
There are more in the northwest.
More soldiers and horses were deployed along Tanxi River, blocking any road that Ren Zhong could cross by force.
Although Tanxi River is not very wide, the water flow is very fast. There is no way to swim in many places. You can only choose places where the upper reaches are gentle and the lower reaches merge into Mianshui, where the water surface is wide. It is obvious that Cao Xiaoda is more familiar with these places and settled down early.
Arrive at the camp.
Ren Zhong had made several forcible attacks in the past few days, but they only caused a lot of corpses to float in Tanxi River and Mianshui River. Especially when he thought of people like Chun Yuliang looking at the corpses floating down on the shore of Mianshui River with half-smiling faces, Ren Zhong thought in his heart.
Lively.
This Cao Xiaoda, why can't I get along with him!
Both Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang are already well-known veterans in the army, but after all, this reputation cannot be used to support their families, so they all want to earn some money before they are discharged and returned to their fields.
Only in this way can you increase your salary and bring blessings to your descendants.
Compared with Ren Zhong, Chun Yuliang was already ahead of the curve. Not only did his eldest son inherit his title and land, the remaining sons also had proper arrangements. Some of them entered the Imperial Academy, and later became the governor of one party, and more
The most outstanding among them is the sixth son Chun Yucen. It is said that this old guy has sent his son to the north bank of Mianshui River.
Rather than leading two or three thousand troops to attack Fancheng, Ren Zhong believed that Chun Yuliang was communicating with Li Xingchen through this method.
After Xu Ling decisively sent Xu Deyan to Li Xinchen's command for so long, Chun Yuliang finally couldn't sit still. Letting his most powerful son go to contact Li Xinchen was enough to show the sincerity of the old general.
Thinking of this, Ren Zhong could only grit his teeth secretly. Unfortunately, his son was still in the Huainan Army and would not be transferred anytime soon. Ren Zhong did not have the guts to ask him back directly. After all, this was the only heir in the Ren family.
Once they leave the Nanchen Army, they have no choice but to defect to Li Xinchen. For the Ren family, this is tantamount to risking the future of the entire family.
Ren Zhong asked himself that he was already at this age and could no longer afford to play with such a heartbeat. Chun Yuliang had many sons, and Ren Zhong could not bear to part with them.
Seeing Ren Zhong's uncertain expression, Chun Yuliang just smiled and said nothing. Xiao Mohe also had a clear view of the expressions of the two old generals under his command, but he would not take the initiative to bring up this topic.
In fact, both Xiao Mohe and Chun Yuliang knew why Ren Zhong was trapped in his attack. Cao Xiaoda, who had been defeated by Li Xinchen, would naturally arrange more troops on the northwest side where Li Xinchen was likely to come, and Ren Zhong
In fact, it just happened to happen.
Of course, it would be a bit embarrassing to tell the truth. It is impossible for Ren Zhong himself not to understand this truth at all, but the old general is somewhat arrogant and he is unwilling to admit this fact.
"Continue to attack. Although Xian Mountain is not big, it is steep. This is the last barrier to the south of Xiangyang City. Cao Xiaoda will not give up easily," Xiao Mohe said in a deep voice, "Within five days, someone will see the big mountain."
Chen’s flag is planted on the top of Xianshan Mountain!”
"No!" Chun Yuliang immediately and solemnly handed over his hand.
——————————-
"Uncle," Yu Chikuan walked quickly to the top of Xiangyang City and raised his hand to Cao Xiaoda, "Tan Ma came to report that Chun Yuliang's troops have set up camp outside Xian Mountain, and the enemy navy is blocking the river downstream of Xian Mountain.
Xiao Mohe's camp has also passed Hutou Mountain."
Cao Xiaoda was Yuchi Kuan's old general, and at this time he was the de facto commander-in-chief of Xiangyang City Defense, so there was nothing wrong with Yu Chikuan being addressed as "uncle".
