On the contrary, Wu Mingche looked back at Pei Zilie in surprise, and said with a smile: "Tai Shigong once said: Everyone is destined to die. After death, there is also old age. When you get older and your body is no longer good, it is impossible not to accept old age."
Before Pei Zilie could speak, Wu Mingche continued: "What's more, I managed civil affairs in the first half of my life. Later, I was appreciated by Emperor Taizu Wu. I fought on the battlefield for more than 20 years. Now, as one of the three princes of the dynasty, I am also the commander-in-chief of the army. I can be regarded as a great general."
Wen Youcheng, Wu Youjiu, this life has reached this point beyond my expectation. Nowadays, people are getting older, their eyesight is not good, their energy is low, and as you know, they are plagued by illness, and the road to officialdom is
I can’t walk anymore..."
After opening his mouth, Pei Zilie didn't know what he should say. After all, Wu Mingche's physical condition is clearly here. It is conceivable that after returning to Huainan, Wu Mingche will submit a letter to be demobilized and return to his hometown. Even if the court does not allow it, he will not be allowed to do so.
If he continues to command the army, he will most likely be transferred back to the imperial court and retire in the capital.
"But Master, you are still young." Wu Mingche's voice rose slightly and became more solemn, "I can disband and return to the field at any time, but you can't."
Pei Zilie breathed out softly: "The Governor means..."
Wu Mingche turned back and looked at the big flag with the word "Xiao" that had been flying quietly on the pier: "Don't care what others say about you. It's up to you. Don't have too many conflicts with General Wu Yi. If you want to get to the next level,
If you are on the same floor, you might as well talk to General Wu Yi. You two are both straightforward and straightforward people, so you must be able to talk."
"Grand Governor!" Pei Zilie frowned, "The last general and General Wu Yi..."
"Don't you think I don't know about the conflict between the two of you?" Wu Mingche said lightly, "But in the final analysis, those conflicts are just trivial and insignificant things. Fighting for the vanguard and fighting glory, if you are on the battlefield
After fighting for a long time, you will realize that these things don’t count.”
Pei Zilie suddenly fell silent and said nothing.
Wu Mingche changed the topic: "After I leave, this army will be handed over to General Wu Yi. I think you know Xiao Yuanyin's abilities and skills well. Last night was my last test for him. He did well."
.
And Xiao Yuanyin commanded the entire army. If he said something treasonous, this army would be the world of the Xiao family from now on. Your Pei family originated from Wenxi, Hedong, and the Xiao family from East China Sea (Author's note: today's Lanling, Shandong) are all families who have crossed to the south.
, we should support each other, not to mention that the Pei family has always been weak in blood, and you are the only one who has the most powerful people under your father's knees. No matter how many conflicts you and Xiao Yuanyin have, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about you, Pei.
Think about your family’s future!”
Pei Zilie's face changed slightly and he subconsciously looked around.
The Grand Governor and General Dianwei are here, but no one who is bold enough dares to approach them.
Wu Mingche patted the railing lightly and coughed twice: "Master, I have said everything that needs to be said... ahem... the rest is up to you. In the final analysis
, you have to make your own decision as to where you, or the entire Pei family, should go."
"I would like to learn from you, general!" Pei Zilie solemnly handed over his hand.
Wu Mingche waved his hand to ask him to step back. He squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Mohe, who was leading his bodyguards to ride slowly on the pier. His eyes immediately turned to the two people on Xiao Mohe's left and right that Wu Mingche had met before.
It swept across the body of a young man who had only just met.
"The tiger father has no sons, so Xiao Shilian can help. Plus Xiao Yuanyin, the descendant of Shixing gun king Li Cheng, I'm really curious about how much trouble you can cause." Wu Mingche murmured, "The Battle of Luliang, for me,
Although Da Chen won, he was still defeated. In the future, Huaibei will be the most important place to guard against barbarians in the Northern Dynasty. It will not be so easy to fight another battle of Luliang. How should you resolve this deadlock..."
Another gust of wind blew, and Wu Mingche walked towards the cabin while coughing.
As if he was still a little worried, Wu Mingche slowly turned his head to look at Pei Zilie who was arranging his soldiers on the opposite boat, and then turned to look at Xiao Mohe and the other two people who were quickly getting on the boat. He suddenly smiled to himself and sighed: "From now on, this great Chen Jun
The world belongs to young people. Why do I have to worry so much? Just let them do it."

"It's a matter of course to prepare for a rainy day." Li Xingchen looked at the dense markings on the map and said in a deep voice.
The warship swayed slowly on the water, while Xiao Mohe and Xiao Shilian were sitting on the side of the map, quietly looking at the annotations on it. As Li Xingchen said, the Battle of Luliang was the first time that the Southern Chen Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty were so large-scale.
Confrontation and confrontation, and the outcome of the Battle of Luliang was actually not the best for either the Southern or Northern Dynasties.
The Northern Zhou army suffered heavy losses, and the shortcomings of a redundant army were fully exposed. After two fierce battles, the Nanchen army finally had to break out and retreat from Luliang. The army was small in number, lacked flexibility, was good at defense but not good at offense, etc.
The shortcomings are exposed.
Perhaps for the ordinary soldiers below, they only need to celebrate the rest of their lives and the hard-won opportunity to repair. But for generals such as Xiao Maha, they must consider the future direction of the war. After all,
Time waits for nothing, and it is impossible for Northern Zhou to wait quietly for Nan Chen to come up with a decision after lengthy planning and discussion before reacting.
In a war between great powers, especially when the war has begun, the important thing is to make a decision and take action immediately. There is no room for hesitation and hesitation. Nanchen was delayed a lot of time in the later stages of the Luliang War because it was difficult to decide whether to advance or retreat, resulting in
It took a lot of effort to finally break through. If they had retreated before Wang Gui's army was dispatched, the four to five thousand soldiers of Nanchen who were lost in the battle last night would not have died.
Therefore, while the soldiers are enjoying the joy and reunion, Xiao Mohe, as the future commander of the Nanchen army, must make a preliminary plan for the next move of the entire Nanchen army. At least there must be a preliminary plan in Xiao Mohe's mind.
design blueprint.
"It is difficult to make breakthroughs and changes on the Huai-Shui front." Xiao Mohe said in a deep voice. This was the first sentence he uttered while sitting in the cabin, but in fact, the lessons of the Battle of Luliang had been learned.
Sum it up.
Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian both nodded subconsciously,
Although the Southern and Northern Dynasties have been changing continuously for hundreds of years, the battle line between the two dynasties has always been maintained at the north and south of the Huaihe River. The Northern Dynasty was strong and invaded Huainan and marched across the river. The Southern Dynasty was strong and marched north to Huaibei and pointed its sword at the Central Plains.
Most of the time, the two sides faced each other with the Huai River as the boundary, and a complete defense system was built along both sides of the Huai River. Before, Wu Mingche crossed the Huai River to the north and swallowed up the land of Luliang, but when he continued to attack, he was attacked by the Northern Dynasty.
General Liang Shiyan tried his best to block the attack, and finally had to retreat back to Luliang, unable to advance or retreat.
During the war between the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Dynasty was still able to rely on Huaibei's solid defense line to hold back the Nanchen's offensive, which can be seen from its management of Huaibei.
