Xiao Mohe did not answer Lu Guangda directly, but looked at Chen Yu: "Send the order, Ren Zhong's troops will retreat to the southwest of Xiangyang City, and rely on Jingshan and Tanxi to go down to the village."
"This..." Chen Yu was also a little surprised, but he still handed over his hand and said, "Yes!"
When Xiao Mohe issued such an order, it was equivalent to telling Li Xinchen that Xiao Mohe was about to withdraw from the struggle for hegemony in Xiangyang City. After all, Tanxi and Xianshan, where Xiao Mohe now settled his army, were not considered to be near Xiangyang City. In comparison, Pei Zilie
The headquarters and Chun Yuliang's headquarters can be said to be almost close to Xiangyang City's lower village. Xiao Mohe's retreat at this time is naturally tantamount to giving up.
Lu Guangda was obviously aware of this problem. Of course he knew how much Xiao Maha wanted Xiangyang. In other words, every general stationed in Jiangling was looking forward to one day that he could take Xiangyang. Taking Xiangyang would mean
After opening up the passage to the north, no matter what happens next, this Qingshi will not be able to escape.
Everyone in the Jiangling Army knew that Xiao Mohe wanted Xiangyang. Xiao Mohe had raised troops to go north again and again before, but the strength of the Northern Zhou army made Xiao Mohe unable to shake the iron-walled Xiangyang City.
, had no choice but to return in vain every time, but fortunately, the defenders in Xiangyang City did not dare to pursue rashly due to the changes in the situation. Therefore, although Xiao Mohe went through the battle, his losses were not too much, and he still made a comeback.
Opportunity.
But this time sending troops to the north is very different from the past. Xiao Mohe's troops are strong and strong. In comparison, Xiangyang City's defense strength has never been weakened to the extent it is now. Therefore, this is a God-given opportunity for Xiao Mohe.
Even if a nasty guy like Li Xingchen intervenes, Xiao Mohe still has a chance to attack Xiangyang, and this chance is great. After all, simple military advantage can sometimes determine a lot.
Therefore, in the eyes of many people, including Lu Guangda, this time was undoubtedly Xiao Mohe's most likely opportunity to win Xiangyang, but at this time Xiao Mohe was planning to give up.
However, Xiao Mohe must have made up his mind. Lu Guangda knew that as a general, he had no right to ask any more questions. Xiao Mohe noticed the hesitant Lu Guangda and said lightly: "Maybe Li Xingchen is not right.
Wrong, what Da Chen should consider now is how to protect himself in this troubled world. The world is already turbulent, but Da Chen is no longer suitable to step into this turmoil, otherwise he may be shattered to pieces."
After a pause, Xiao Mohe closed his eyes: "This is a world that belongs to young people!"
Lu Quanda did not speak, but faced Xiao Maha and solemnly raised his hands. He knew that Xiao Maha had tried his best, and some things were simply not something he could decide or preside over.
Without looking at Lu Quanda's leaving figure, Xiao Mohe staggered to the table. Chen Yu walked in quickly and saw the stooped Xiao Mohe, and almost exclaimed. At this time, Xiao Mohe
Maha looked ten years older, which made Chen Yu feel like he had met another person. He hurriedly stepped forward:
"General!"
Xiao Mohe waved his hand and sighed: "I'm fine, let me rest for a while."
Chen Yu slowly let go of the hand that supported Xiao Mohe. He knew the general's temper. In normal times, he would have impatiently asked him to leave. After all, with Xiao Mohe's proud temper, he would not allow others to support him.
For me, this is undoubtedly a sign of weakness, and Xiao Mohe has followed Chen Baxian to fight in the world since he was twelve years old, so he cannot allow himself to show weakness.
But today... Xiao Mohe's hand did not move after all.
Chen Yu sighed silently in his heart. He knew that the general finally admitted that he was old this time. Even though Xiao Mohe was not actually old now, an old mentality would always be more terrifying than an old body.
When Xiao Mohe sat down tremblingly like this, it also meant that his battle in Xiangyang was about to come to an end. Li Xingchen's threat, the failure of counterattack, and pressure layer by layer, made Xiao Mohe feel more confident about what he could do.
Going down to Xiangyang, what should he do after taking Xiangyang? He has no confidence. What he wants to do and can do now is to lead his army to retreat and leave this battlefield that is destined to belong to Li Xinchen.
Such a decision may not be a relief for Xiao Maha.
After taking over the post of general from Wu Mingche, Xiao Mohe has been burdened with a lot, especially when Wu Mingche had just retreated from Huaibei. Although the army was saved, its morale was dampened and supplies were lost a lot, not to mention the military.
The veteran generals doubted Xiao Mohe. After all, the sudden appearance of such a relatively young general to lead the entire army made it impossible for them to accept it for a while.
It can be said that Xiao Mohe resisted all this and finally won the Battle of Jiangling, breaking the blockade of the North and South for more than ten years in one fell swoop, making Nanchen's river defense line complete for the first time.
Obviously, a newer generation of young people has begun to rise. Although Xiao Maha's era was short, it was glorious enough, and now it has come to an end. For such a general, being able to achieve such a victory in life is already a great achievement.
It is worthy of special mention. Although Xiao Mohe was unwilling to do so, he could only accept the reality.
As long as he is still loyal to Nanchen, he cannot act on impulse at this time, and the defense of Jiangling is the top priority. It is conceivable that it will be difficult for Xiao Mohe to have the opportunity to lead a large-scale offensive in the future.
But fortunately, at least the Xiao family still has a young general.
Perhaps Xiao's glory has just begun.
Chen Yu silently helped Xiao Mohe fetch a basin of water.
As a retainer, I have witnessed the rise of the Xiao family and its impending glory, but I don't know why I feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
——————————-
While Xiao Mohe was sighing in the tent, Chun Yuliang looked at the uninvited guest in front of him and felt the cold air coming from his back.
Li Xingchen's arrival was too sudden. Just when Chun Yuliang had just received information about the battle situation in the west of the city, and when he learned that Xiao Mohe's counterattack was fruitless, Chun Yuliang felt that he should already know what Xiao Mohe was going to do next.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Li Xingchen to come to visit, but Chun Yuliang never thought that Li Xingchen would arrive just as he was thinking about it.
This was actually the first time that Chun Yuliang saw this young general who was already famous at home and abroad. He stood in front of him. He could not be called a tree in the wind, but his appearance was worthy of the title. More importantly, the look on Li Xingchen's eyebrows
He exudes a sense of heroism and confidence, which is what attracts Chun Yuliang the most.
The young man obviously never doubted his ability to achieve ultimate victory.
When Li Xingchen looked at Chun Yuliang in front of him, he seemed to know that his coming was not a trivial matter. This old general was not as senile as he had imagined. Instead, his back was straight and his eyes were a bit stern.
