Seven hundred and ninetieth eight chapters and slowly wither
As a trusted general under Li Xunchen, Cheng Feng was somewhat aware of this situation, so when Chun Yucen brought out this list of troops and provisions, Cheng Feng was surprised, or rather pleasantly surprised.
Obviously, as a general who has been passed down for generations, Chunyu still has unparalleled power in the military.
Especially now that the commander-in-chief of Huaixi, Fan Meng, has been implicated by his younger brother Fan Yi, his control over the army is no longer the same as before. Chunyu, who originally had a place in the Huaixi army, naturally has a much stronger voice.
What's more, these generals in the Huaixi Army are not fools. How could they not know what the current situation is in the world? When Fan Meng was in charge of the army, many people were a little jealous because of the relationship between the Fan family and Li Xingchen.
Unfortunately, because of Fan Yi's drag, Fan Meng has lost his original title of Commander-in-Chief, and has completely become a general who only has the power to dispatch his generals in wartime, and is also subject to the dual dispatch of Wu Huijue of Huaidong and Xiao Mohe of Jingzhou.
, it can be said that the Fan family, which once dominated the Southern Chen Army, has declined.
For these Huaixi generals, it is also time to change their sect. If they continue to follow Fan Meng like this, everyone knows what will happen to them in the end.
Heading to Lingnan to keep Fan Yi company?
Don’t even think about it!
This is why when the Chun Yu family began to lean towards Li Xinchen, the Huaixi army responded so positively. Many of them were Chun Yuliang's former subordinates. Now that they have the opportunity to follow the old general, naturally why would they do it?
Not for.
Now Chunyu Cen can secure only 6,000 people. You can even imagine how many people these 6,000 people can lead. You must know that in these troubled times, the most common thing is to follow the trend. The people around these generals have already made
Of course you won't go against your peers when choosing.
And we must know that there are only more than 30,000 troops and horses in Huaixi. If Li Xinchen directly takes away half of them, then it will all depend on Li Xinchen's mood when he wants to swallow up the remaining half of the troops. More importantly, he is stationed in Huaihe.
Wu Huijue from Dongfang is the son of Wu Mingche. Regarding Li Xinchen's actions, he is most likely to turn a blind eye.
The Wu family had already been tied to Li Xingchen's chariot. Wu Huijue had already given Nanchen the court some face if he didn't send anyone to add icing on the cake.
Therefore, for Li Xingchen, these soldiers and horses from the Chunyu family were definitely a great gift.
Cheng Feng thought of this and looked at Chunyucen subconsciously. When Li Xingchen was indifferent to Chunyu's family's two or three thousand troops, Chunyucen finally couldn't help but sent more.
Zhou Yu hit the yellow cover, and everyone was willing to hit and others were willing to suffer.
Li Xingchen needs this power, and why don't they need Li Xingchen?
"In this way, my general will have a better chance of winning when attacking Fancheng," Cheng Feng cupped his hand, "I would like to thank you in advance."
"General Cheng, you're welcome." Chunyucen said with a smile. Cheng Feng and Li Xinchen behind him would not be moved by such a generous gift, but Chunyucen's smile was somewhat forced.
This has been accumulated by generations of Chunyu family, and now it will all fall on Li Xinchen. How can it not feel painful?
What's more, no one knows whether he will soar into the sky or be doomed in the end. But having said that, with Wu Mingche here, Xiao Mohe's position as the number one man in the army is as stable as Mount Tai. It is difficult for him to continue even if he has great military exploits.
There is no chance of moving up, unless Xiao Mohe dies before him, which of course is impossible given his age.
Therefore, Chun Yuliang and Chun Yucen, the old and the young, did not have many choices. At least they could not just watch the decline of the Chunyu family.
"It is better to bloom brilliantly than to wither slowly." Chunyucen murmured.
Before everything is irreversible, the Chunyu family has a chance to give it a try.
Thinking of this, Chun Yucen looked at Xu Chang and others beside him. Presumably the Anlu Xu family and other aristocratic families who took the initiative to get closer to Li Xinchen also had the same idea...
As the descendants of poor families represented by Xiao Mohe gradually rise, it is conceivable that new aristocratic families and new forces will be born in the future. At this time, if the old aristocratic families want to continue to survive, they naturally need to embrace thicker thighs.
Or to make a thigh that is not very thick thicker.
——————————
"The Chunyu family...the power of these aristocratic families is beyond my expectation." Li Xingchen looked at the message sent by Cheng Feng and couldn't help but sigh softly.
After all, Li Xinchen was born in the countryside. At that time, Li Xinchen could see how poor the village was. It was a blessing if three people could eat an egg for a meal, but in most cases, a little oil and water would not be enough.
No, it would be nice if it has a little salty taste.
However, even if these aristocratic families have declined, they can still provide a large amount of food and troops at any time, and even support half of the war.
The power of the family, especially the heritage accumulated over hundreds of generations, was enough to make Li Xingchen amazed.
Not to mention the aristocratic family, even the children from poor families still have some savings in their families.
The so-called poor families are not actually the children of common people as many later generations understand, but the children of local squires and small families. Compared with the wealthy families, these people's family background can be called "cold", but compared with the common people
As for merchants, doctors, sons-in-law and other lower-level people, they are naturally much better off.
Xiao Mohe came from a poor family, but he was not the son of a commoner. His uncle Cai Luyang was also considered a powerful figure in the separatist regime back then.
Only Li Xinchen can be regarded as a descendant of the common people. Of course, not to mention that Li Xinchen himself is probably a descendant of the Hongnong Yang family. He is simply Li Cheng. With his name back then, he wants to find a foothold in Jiankang Mansion.
It was not impossible to open a business and establish a household in this land, but the defeated Li Cheng had no face to see his elders in Jiangdong and did not come back.
The attitude of the Chunyu family undoubtedly made Li Xinchen see a new trend. As Wu Mingche and Xu Ling supported Li Xinchen openly or covertly, and as Li Xinchen's momentum grew, these families that were already on the verge of decline and were swept into the garbage heap finally
I couldn't bear it anymore.
This is of course a good thing for Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen, who lacks a large number of talents and manpower at this time, certainly needs support to fill these gaps.
If the whole of Bashu wants to run normally, it cannot do without people, and these aristocratic families want to send talents to Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen also needs people to support the entire framework, so why not.
Dai Cai took a look at the letter handed over by Li Xingchen, his expression was a bit solemn, but he soon put on a smile again.
The loyalty of the Chunyu family meant that these Jiangnan nobles who were still watching the situation could no longer sit still, and they came with six thousand troops and three months of food and grass, which was enough for Li Xinchen to freely accept the Chunyu family.
