"The remaining 30% depends on the discussion between the general and Li Xingchen, no, the Hanzhong Marquis." Xu Chang said slowly, "The general versus the Hanzhong Marquis, who do you think will win?"
Chun Yucen frowned and did not dare to draw conclusions easily for a while. He did not know Xiao Mohe at all. He had only recently been transferred from Huaixi to Xiao Mohe's command, and he was still under the direct command of his father Chun Yuliang.
, I basically didn’t have much contact with Xiao Maha.
As for Li Xingchen, not to mention, Chun Yucen and this young star who rose like a comet have no intersection at all. The two have been fighting on two completely different battlefields. When they heard each other's name, it was probably in the battle report.
How can we say we know each other if we have never met?
But Chun Yucen also knew who was behind Xiao Mohe's ability to seize Jiangling and even Xiangyang City step by step.
Li Xingchen only led his troops under Xiangyang City, but the shadow behind him shrouded half of the world.
Although this young man didn't know where he came from, even though he had never met him, Chun Yucen could still feel the coolness behind him.
"Send the order, bury the pots to make rice, and prepare to attack Lumen Mountain," Chunyucen said in a deep voice, turning to look at Xu Chang, "General Zhenxi's forward is expected to arrive in two or three days, and Brother Xu will have to make a trip.
Already."
"Don't worry about this." Xu Chang nodded slightly.
Chunyucen watched the messenger leave quickly and murmured: "How many people and things will be affected and changed by the choice we make this time?"
Xu Chang smiled: "What?"
Chunyucen then shook his head in regret: "Anyway, everything has been done. Even if the sky falls, I will just bear it."
"You are worrying too much," Xu Chang waved his hand, "If the sky really collapses, then it won't be your and my turn to take care of it."
"This..." Chunyu Cen was startled for a moment, then understood something and nodded slightly.
————————————-
Li Xingchen handed the battle report in his hand to Dai Cai: "Taolinsai's battle report."
Dai Cai hurriedly took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but sigh: "The struggle within Xiao Qiang will always be so cruel."
Li Xingchen didn't say much, turned around and focused his gaze on the map.
In the Battle of Taolinsai, Yu Wenxian led the cavalry to attack Yang Jian's military formation on the left and right wings. They were suppressed by the crossbowmen in Yang Jian's military formation and suffered heavy casualties. However, they finally succeeded in opening a hole in the military formation and forced Yang Jian to give up his first battle.
A line of defense retreated step by step, but this retreat obviously only dragged Yu Wenxian's cavalry deeper into the mountains, and the spearmen and crossbowmen who were ambushing there finally gave these cavalry a fatal blow.
Yu Wenxian and Yu Wenchun's troops retreated. Yang Jian led his troops in pursuit, but was blocked by Yuchi Jiong. The two sides saw each other along the line of the abandoned fortress outside Taolin Great Wall. Those inconspicuous camps became a huge meat grinder. After a day of melee,
In the end, both sides had to shrink their defenses due to heavy losses of troops, leaving a total of 20,000 corpses on the battlefield of Taolinsai. Of course, there were also a large number of war horses and offensive and defensive equipment, and there were countless wounded soldiers.
In fact, neither Yu Wenxian nor Yang Jian took advantage of this battle, but Yu Wenxian's cavalry suffered particularly heavy losses, which caused Yu Wenxian to lose the ability to conduct long-distance raids in a short period of time, and had to leave Yuchi Jiong behind.
Guguan, he retreated to Luoyang. Yang Jian temporarily stayed in Taolinsai, and seemed to have the intention to continue attacking Hangu Pass.
Dai Cai put down the battle report and said in a deep voice: "The Hangu Pass now is not the Hangu Pass it used to be. It is inevitable for Yang Jian to knock on the pass and enter. The battle line should be pushed to Luoyang City within two months. This battle looks like
Yang Jian's troops suffered heavy losses due to Yu Wenxian's cavalry assault, but in fact, Yu Wenxian's losses were the real elites."
"But at least Yu Wenxian successfully maintained the battle line. Luoyang is a famous fortified city in the world after all. Yu Wenxian can rely on Hangu Pass, Luoyang, Mengjin and other places to defend for a period of time." Li Xingchen slowly continued, "And Yang Jian sees that
The army gathered at Hangu Pass, but after Yu Wenxian narrowed the battle line to Luoyang City, the war in Xiangyang actually had little to do with Yu Wenxian. The Xiangyang defenders were destined to become a lone army. But Yang Jian
We must instead consider the threat we pose to Wuguan and Guanzhong from Xiangyang to the north."
Dai Cai was startled for a moment and nodded slightly. This is true. From Xiangyang to the north, the direct threat is Wuguan, the southern gateway of Guanzhong, and Shenyuan Pass, the southern gateway of Luoyang, is still far away from Xiangyang. If Li Xinchen wants to attack
If you do that, you will definitely not seek the far away instead of the near.
Coupled with Xiao Shilian who was attacking Yangping Pass, Li Xingchen formed a two-sided attack on Yang Jian. However, in this case, it was difficult for Yang Jian to directly withdraw his troops from the Hangu Pass front line. Once these troops came back for reinforcements,
, then Yu Wenxian will definitely catch up from behind, and the battle line will be pushed back to the foot of Xiaoshan Mountain, and even westward to Tongguan, which means that all the results of the previous battle with Yang Jian in Taolinsai will become meaningless.
This is a deadlock, and the next decision depends on Yang Jian's judgment. In the battle of Taolinsai, Yu Wenxian took the initiative to retreat, which in fact was tantamount to leaving this thorny issue directly to Yang Jian.
"The current situation has a lot to do with Bo Qing's little actions there." Li Xingchen's eyes gradually moved to the northwest of the map. Xiao Shilian sent a light force to capture Chencang, cutting off the food and grass at Yangping Pass.
Supply, and more importantly, from Chencang to the north, it has been possible to establish contact with the Tianshui Liang family and the Anding Niu family, and these marginal aristocratic families in the Guanlong Group obviously do not mind establishing contact with Li Xinchen at this time, maybe
This is when a small family becomes a big family.
Not to mention that Niu Hong, who was born in the Anding Niu family, was in Xiao Shilian's army. It is conceivable that getting through Chencang actually meant that Li Xingchen extended his influence and even control to the entire northwest. At this time, Yang Jian in Guanzhong obviously had no idea.
No energy to go north.
Dai Cai gave a wry smile. In this battle in Taolinsai, both sides had to fight, and both sides were destined to lose. In the end, it was Li Xingchen who gained the advantage.
But even if they knew this, Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian had no choice. Sometimes people are pushed forward by fate and interests, which is how helpless they are.
"Anyway, now there is no last obstacle to our attack on Xiangyang," Li Xingchen said calmly, "Give me the order to prepare to attack Fancheng. I will clear out the camps around Fancheng within two days, and at the same time send someone to tell Pei Zilie
, let him hurry up. If he keeps dawdling like this, I don’t mind teaching him a lesson."
Dai Cai immediately shuddered. From Li Xinchen's words, he could sense that Li Xinchen was bound to win Xiangyang this time.
Anyone who wants to grab meat from the hungry wolf's mouth will also become the hungry wolf's new prey.
