Although Li Xingchen knew these things, he could never tell them. What's more, he didn't know how the situation between the entire Northern and Southern Dynasties would change in unpredictable ways as the outcome of the Battle of Luliang changed.
Seeing Li Xingchen's solemn look, Xiao Mohe was also startled for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "The confrontation between the two Huaihe Rivers has become a foregone conclusion. Now even if we don't take the initiative to go west, I'm afraid Yu Wenyong will look for other breakthroughs. Compared with
In Huainan, Jinghu is also a pretty good choice for the Northern Zhou Dynasty..."
"Because of the Turks, he can't do it." Li Xingchen interrupted Xiao Mohe's question without hesitation this time and said loudly and forcefully.
"Turk?" Xiao Mohe's face changed slightly, and he understood immediately.
The Turks who rose from the north were definitely as important a threat to the Northern Dynasties as they were to the south. The Turks who drove their war horses from the grasslands to the south view the current Sinicized Xianbei people just like the Xianbei people in those days viewed the Han people.
In order to deal with the threat of Turks, the Northern Dynasties could be said to have racked their brains. To a certain extent, it can even be said that the strange "Han Xianbeiization" at the end of the Northern Dynasties was caused by the confusion of the main ideas of the upper class of society when faced with the threat of northern nomads.
Compared with the Xianbei people in those days, the Turks were more and more arrogant. They once regarded the Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou in the Northern Dynasties as the "two sons of the south." Even Xiao Mohe had never considered the Turkic issue before, and he understood that Yuwen Yong had the courage to swallow up mountains and rivers.
, he will definitely not allow the Turks to jump around so arrogantly, and Yuwen Yong has regarded marrying the daughter of the Turkic Khan as his own shame all his life. He has been sharpening his sword against the Turks long before the annexation of Northern Qi, and now he is sitting on half the sky.
Next, it is very possible to take action against the Turks.
Once the Northern Zhou Dynasty went to war against the Turks, it would of course be on the defensive against the Southern Chen Dynasty.
"But these... are just wishful thinking after all." Xiao Shilian said helplessly, "We are not sure what Yu Wenyong wants to do."
"We are just preparing for a rainy day." Li Xingchen imitated Xiao Shilian's tone and said, causing Xiao Shilian to glare at him fiercely.
Xiao Mohe ignored the bickering between the two juniors and nodded solemnly: "Xian Chen's words are reasonable. Now we are mainly preparing for a rainy day. The Western Liang will be fought, but after the Battle of Luliang, the army will not say anything.
It will take a few months to repair, so we don’t want to fight now. The general trend of the world is changing, and no one can predict what will happen in the next few months. What we have to do now is to recharge our batteries, and once the time comes, we will fight with
The barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty had a good fight with each other."
Li Xingchen and Xiao Shilian hurriedly put away the frivolous smiles on their faces, stood up and cupped their hands. The ship also shook heavily, and it was obvious that it had finally arrived at the Huainan Pier. The voices of the generals greeting the soldiers came from outside.
Xiao Mohe glanced out the window: "Let's go."
Xiao Shilian hurriedly followed his father. Li Xingchen subconsciously turned his gaze to the other window. Through the window, he could still see the rolling waves of the Huai River. The land in Huaibei had turned into a black line extending into the distance between the sky and the earth, boundless.
Boundless.
At this time, Li Xingchen thought of the last few words Xiao Mohe said just now, and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Wait for the opportunity and wait and see what happens.
I just don’t know how earth-shattering this change is?
Isn't it possible that golden scales are just a thing in the pond, they turn into dragons when encountering wind and clouds, and Li Xingchen's wind and clouds don't know when they will come?
"Brother Xinchen?" Xiao Shilian noticed that Li Xinchen did not follow him, so he turned around and called out.
Li Xingchen said "Ah" and hurriedly followed Xiao Shilian.
Xiao Shilian cheerfully reached out and hooked his shoulder: "Brother Xin Chen, now that you have arrived in Huainan, you should be happy after escaping from the battlefield of blood and fire. I am not lying to you. The customs of Huainan are completely different from those of Huaibei.
He said that Zhongli County in North Xuzhou has all kinds of restaurants and brothels. When you get off the boat, I will take you to settle down with Lian'er and sister, and then we will go to whichever one you like. As a brother, I will definitely not treat you badly!
"
After a pause, Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand: "Zhongli's roasted white fish, seabass and water shield soup are all top-notch delicacies, as well as rotten bear paws in sauce, fresh carp shredded pork and other unnamed dishes, even if
Even if we go to Jinling, we can't find anything as authentic as this restaurant in Zhongli City. As for the affair of Fengyue, you also..."
"This..." Li Xingchen rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say.
Xiao Shilian paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that Li Xingchen grew up in the mountains and had obviously never seen him before. He immediately smiled and patted his chest: "It doesn't matter whether you understand or not. I'll know when someone takes you to see him.
Already."
This bad friend was really qualified. Li Xingchen didn't know what to say for a moment, but this was reasonable. These people had been fighting on the battlefield for so long, so of course they had to find a good place to relax.
Zhongli is the center of Nanchen's military garrison, so it makes sense that there are many restaurants and brothels.
But just when Xiao Shilian was talking with joy, Li Xinchen's expression changed and he stretched out his hand to tug on his sleeve. Xiao Shilian didn't pay attention, but tugged at Li Xinchen: "There is nothing to say about this. I can't say it. I'll tell you.
We in the army, Pao Ze, are living a life of licking blood from the knife edge. If the army is not allowed to relax for a while after its return, it will not allow anyone to live. Brother, you don’t know that the most famous girl Xiao Cui in Zhongli City...
····”
Xiao Mohe's gloomy, dripping face finally appeared in Xiao Shilian's field of vision, and Xiao Shilian finally understood why Li Xingchen kept tugging on his sleeve.
However, it seemed that this was not the first offense for Xiao Shilian. He smiled at his father and said, "My son will do his best to take Brother Xin Chen to appreciate the scenery of Zhongli County, my father. Please rest assured!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Shilian dragged the overwhelmed Li Xingchen and rushed out of the warship quickly.
Looking at his son's disappearing figure, Xiao Mohe snorted coldly:
"Little brat!"
The two of them ran to the corner of the pier panting. Li Xingchen held his knees while looking at Xiao Shilian who looked back cautiously: "You are really afraid of General Wu Yi to the core."
Xiao Shilian suddenly said angrily: "Which eye of yours saw me and was afraid?"
"Then don't run away if you have the ability." Li Xingchen rolled his eyes.
Xiao Shilian knew he was wrong and snorted: "Isn't it human nature for a son to be afraid of his father? Go and see whose son is not afraid of his father?"
Seeing Xiao Shilian's confident look, Li Xingchen didn't know what to say for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the warships: "Don't say anything else. I have to settle Lian'er first."
Li Xingchen changed the subject, and Xiao Shilian also breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands and said: "Come on, I will take you to see the house. Dad has given instructions before, and the servants should still be cleaning up now. I forgive them.
