Xu Chang felt at ease, but Pei Zilie was very uneasy at this time.
After all, what he was about to face was his father-in-law, and this father-in-law was obviously not very friendly.
In a melee last night, Pei Zilie's harvest was more than two thousand, and even Ren Zhong's was even more, but in the end Yuchikuan and Yuchishun were allowed to escape, but these two guys ran away.
, for the current Xiangyang City, more soldiers are obviously more important.
Accompanying this great victory was the breakthrough of the entire Tanxi defense line. Pei Zilie's troops were on the north side and Ren Zhong's troops were on the south side. These two troops arrived at Xiangyang City before Xiao Mohe. This also made
Many people were shocked.
Xiao Mohe quickly reacted and mobilized his troops to cross Xian Mountain. At this time, all the Northern Zhou garrison on Xian Mountain had been evacuated. It can be said that except for a camp full of holes, there was nothing left.
Xiao Mohe stayed.
After Xiao Mohe arrived at Xiangyang City, he did not rush to attack. Instead, he began to mobilize troops and moved Chunyu Liang's troops to the northeast corner of Xiangyang City. The north of Xiangyang City is Mianshui, so Chunyu Liang's troops were stationed almost close to Mianshui.
And stationed next to them was the Jingzhou Navy, which meant that Chun Yuliang was sandwiched between the Jingzhou Navy and Xiao Mohe's Chinese army.
Although the distance between Chun Yuliang and Pei Zilie, who is located on the northwest side of Xiangyang, is not far, if he wants to establish contact, he can only bypass the entire Xiangyang city.
This is obviously unrealistic.
After using this simple and crude method to avoid the possibility of Pei Zilie directly joining forces with Chun Yuliang, Xiao Mohe deployed a group of troops, led by Lu Guangda, to form parallel formations with Ren Zhong to block his own central army from Pei Zilie's troops.
, obviously prepared for Pei Zilie to attack him at any time.
It can even be said that Xiao Mohe’s main defense target is no longer the Xiangyang defenders, but Pei Zilie. This is no wonder Xiao Mohe. Pei Zilie’s attitude towards the Nanchen army has never been clear, and because Ren Zhong has been deliberately avoiding confrontation with Pei Zilie
The reason for the direct contact is that the two parties have not even communicated at all, which makes Xiao Mohe even more suspicious.
What's more, Xiao Mohe is obviously worried that Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen, the representative behind him, will do something outrageous. As the general of Nanchen, he needs to solve both internal and external troubles. Compared with Pei Zilie's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Xiangyang City may
The defenders who no longer have the courage and guts to leave the city are naturally not worried.
Before even having a face-to-face meeting, he was already preparing to take action. Pei Zilie really suspected that his father-in-law was fake. Now Xiao Mohe has used this method to prevent Pei Zilie from expanding and diverting his attack direction, so that Pei Zilie can only hide in Xiangyang.
In the northwest corner of the city, try to avoid direct conflict with Xiao Mohe's scouts.
"We are pressing forward step by step." Looking at the location of the Nanchen scouts marked on the map, Pei Zilie couldn't help but smile bitterly. "It seems that the governor of Yingzhou and Old General Ren do not regard us as their own."
And Chen Zhishen gritted his teeth: "Even if the general doesn't plan to attack us, he probably won't give us many opportunities to attack. If we want to snatch Xiangyang City from the hands of people five or six times more than us, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Simple."
"Xiangyang City has just appeared in front of us, and the attackers have already begun to test each other," Pei Zilie shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his expression, "Forget it, we can no longer wait for the general to come forward."
The task given by Li Xingchen to Pei Zilie was to seize the position to attack Xiangyang City, instead of being pressed by Xiao Mohe step by step like now, even wanting to be forced directly to the edge of Mian River. Chen Zhishen, Zheng Kaiyuan and Li Xun are qualified to discuss this with Pei Zilie.
The people involved in the incident straightened their backs at the same time. Their origins may be different, but at this moment, as generals under Li Xingchen, they have realized that there is nothing to talk about with Xiao Mohe for the time being, even if it is true.
If we want to sit down and explain things clearly again, we have to wait until after this conflict.
Although Chen Zhishen was born under Xiao Mohe, he is now a member of Li Xinchen's system. Chen Zhishen knows very well when he should do something. Even if Xiao Shilian is standing here, if Li Xinchen really
If Xiao Shilian was ordered to launch an attack on Xiao Maha, Xiao Shilian would have no reason to refuse.
The ethics and morals of the ancients may be different from those of today's people. "Heaven and earth, kings and teachers are close friends". Kings and mentors should come before loved ones. There is also a saying called "righteousness eliminates relatives", which is almost difficult to do in the eyes of modern people.
, but it was common in ancient times.
Different concepts and different ideas often make different people in a family, even father and son, stand on opposite sides, and when it is really necessary to fight with swords, most people will not hesitate.
It is natural to fight for the ideals they are loyal to and the monarch they are loyal to. Many fathers are even proud to have such sons.
Sometimes the life situation faced by the ancients was more difficult than later generations imagined, but their ideals were, in turn, more full and greater.
Pei Zilie stretched out his hand and pointed at the map: "Zheng Kaiyuan, you lead three thousand soldiers and horses southward along Tanxi River and set up camp half a mile away from Ren Zhong's camp!"
"promise!"
"Chen Zhishen, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses southward along Xiangyang City, close to Lu Guangda's camp!" Pei Zilie then ordered, "Li Xun, the task of scouting has been given to you. Send everyone there."
Get started, but remember, if the general’s men don’t take action first, we don’t want to take action, we just need to move forward to press their area of activity, and we can even insert our scouts in the direction of Xianshan!”
"No!" Chen Zhishen and Li Xun both knew at this time that their general was really going to be merciless.
Watching several people turn around and leave the camp, Pei Zilie sighed deeply and sat down on the chair. It was obvious that making such a decision just now had consumed a lot of his energy. He gently reached out and knocked on the table. There was something in Pei Zilie's voice.
Very tired:
"Now that you're here, don't listen to such loud footsteps behind you."
Li Xingchen turned out from behind the screen and glanced at Pei Zilie: "Your ears are quite pointed, but there are people who belong to people, so how do you know it's me?"
"You are the only one who has the guts to hide behind the screen at this time." Pei Zilie snorted coldly, and immediately looked outside the tent, "But Shizhong, you can rest assured, even if you are not here, someone will still issue the order
Such a decision.”
Li Xingchen couldn't help but smile: "Why do I have any doubts about you?"
"Then why are you here again?" Pei Zilie stood up and boiled water for Li Xinchen himself.
Feeling the dissatisfaction in Pei Zilie's words, Li Xingchen clapped his hands and said, "Arrangements have been made over in Fancheng. I'm here to watch the excitement." (To be continued)
