Xiao Shilian knew that Li Xingchen's thoughts were not like this, but he had no way to prevent the soldiers from having such thoughts, and as the war lasted longer, this kind of thoughts would only become more and more violent, plaguing everyone.
What is really insufficient is not the food, grass and equipment mentioned in Tang Zhong. With the slowdown of the attack and daily attrition, the consumption of food, grass and equipment is actually declining. What is really insufficient is the fighting spirit of each soldier. For this
After a battle, they are losing confidence.
Without Li Xingchen here, it is obvious that Xiao Shilian has no way to bring them the belief that they will win. Xiao Shilian can only smile bitterly in his heart. In any case, he is not as good as the monster Li Xingchen, but it does not mean that he will not be able to win at all.
Flexible.
The task Li Xingchen gave him at the beginning was actually very simple: to contain Han Qinhu and even the enemies in Guanzhong so that they would not take a step out of Guanzhong.
Li Xingchen did not clearly indicate how many days Xiao Shilian needed to capture Yangping Pass. Therefore, for Xiao Shilian, the only way to complete this task was to attack by force. It was not that the generals under his command had not proposed it before, but
It was obvious that the time was not ripe at that time.
Not to mention how cunning and cunning Wei Xiaokuan is, after a brief and fierce battle with Han Qinhu, Xiao Shilian already knew that the person in front of him was not an easy character to deal with. Xiao Shilian's combat rules and ideas were inherited from Xiao Mo
Hey, a simple yet fierce, stormy attack would usually overwhelm the enemy at the beginning, but Han Qinhu was able to sustain such an attack for such a long time, which shows his ability.
Changing location, Xiao Shilian didn't think he could stop Han Qinhu's attack.
Therefore, Xiao Shilian felt that there was nothing wrong with his initial caution, and his main purpose in doing so was to give Han Qinhu the illusion that he would fight Han Qinhu to the end in Yangping Pass.
Firstly, this can influence the judgment of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Guanzhong, making them think that Li Xinchen's main attack direction is also at Yangpingguan, thus covering Li Xinchen's southward movement. Secondly... Xiao Shilian's mouth slightly raised, Qishan should be successful.
"Send the order, the army will repair for one day and continue the attack the next day." Xiao Shilian said in a deep voice.
Tang Zhong was startled for a moment, and just when he was about to say something, Xiao Shilian waved his hand and said in a cold voice: "We just need to grit our teeth and hold on for a few more days, so take the order."
Tang Zhong was a little surprised and could only grit his teeth and nod slightly. He knew Xiao Shilian's specific arrangements, but he always felt that Xiao Shilian's doing so would be a bit risky...
But as the general said at the time, in order to break the current deadlock, this was the only way to give it a try.
How to activate a pool of living water is a very simple matter, but how to activate a pool of stagnant water requires skill.

Beyond Qishan is Longshang, which is the place where grain has been grown throughout the ages. The reason why Chencang can be called a "warehouse" is inseparable from the transportation and storage of grain. The old city of Chencang has long been abandoned, and even the
This rugged Chencang Road is rarely used by people. This is mainly because of the wars in Bashu in recent years. The connection between Longxi and Bashu has become less and less. It is enough to rely on traditional roads such as Yangpingguan and Baoxie Road.
The exchange of trade routes and news.
But a road is always a road. Even if it is abandoned, it is difficult to erase the traces left by it over the years. The outline of the famous Qin Zhidao can still be vaguely seen even after thousands of years.
Qishan Road, also known as Chencang Road, has been abandoned in recent years. Just three hundred years ago, it was the main route of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition. The convoys of baggage vehicles on the narrow mountain road and the famous wooden oxen and stray horses were enough to attract people.
Pay attention and trample the road here over and over again to make it thorough.
Hou Mi walked through the grass with one foot and one foot. He was just a young man in his twenties, but the sunshine in Lingnan had already polished his skin color into wheat color. His eyes were bright and he looked at them.
The long-abandoned city ahead.
Many people may not know the name Hou Mi, but when it comes to his father Hou Andu, he is very famous in Nanchen.
This veteran who has followed Chen Baxian since he started his army has made great achievements in battle. He defeated Hou Jing, pacified Wang Sengbian, etc. and participated in the founding battle of Nanchen. It can be said that he is one of the indispensable heroes in the founding of Nanchen. Wu Mingche and Xiao Mo
Hedu came from Hou Andu's command. Unfortunately, Hou Andu later relied on his arrogance, which aroused the suspicion of Emperor Chen Wen and was sentenced to death in the palace.
In order to prevent the Hou family from being detrimental to the court in the future, Emperor Chen Wen did not directly return Hou Andu's title to the Hou family, but only canonized his second son Hou Mi as the internal history of Shixing - at that time his eldest son had already entered the court as an official.
, and later died after falling off a horse. After Hou Andu's youngest son grew up, he returned Hou Andu's title to the Hou family, which was regarded as rehabilitating Hou Andu.
However, such an arrangement naturally led to a very embarrassing situation. The elder Hou Mi in the family did not have a title. Although the internal history of Shixing is very important - Shixing is the place where Chen Baxian and Longxing were established, and the officials in Shixing were
Dispatch often represents royal grace and trust - but compared to the actual title, it is still a bit inferior.
What's more important is that as the number of children of meritorious officials in the imperial court increases and they reach adulthood, there are too many people who need to be rewarded, so the position of Shixing Internal History has gradually become an honorary title. I am afraid that even His Majesty himself no longer knows how many people there are.
After being granted the title of Internal Shi of Shixing, how many people are still prepared to award this title, making it no longer even comparable to another idle position - Yuanwai Sanqi Changshi.
To put it bluntly, this is an official position for the royal family to manage the treasury and territory. For Hou Andu's son, the head of the Hou family, it is definitely not an official position worthy of him. So he became Li Xinchen once
After making great achievements in Bashu, Hou Mi couldn't sit still and ran all the way to Bashu to join Xiao Shilian's command.
Xiao Mohe followed Hou Andu to fight in the beginning. It can be said that Hou Andu was the first person besides Chen Baxian to discover Xiao Mohe's ability. Xiao Mohe's ability to rise step by step has a lot to do with Hou Andu's support again and again.
Because of this relationship, many veterans in the army had objections to Xiao Maha's promotion, but they did not dare to refute it clearly.
Even if Hou Andu has passed away, his influence in the army is not what Wu Mingche is today, and Xiao Mohe can be the same.
It is precisely for this reason that Xiao Shilian did not turn away the somewhat depressed Hou Mi who was more eager to establish meritorious deeds. The title of a partial general first fell on Hou Mi. Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian still had this authority. Continue.
Li Xingchen did not have the ability to appoint generals without permission.
