Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters Xiangyang defender
"How do you feel, Yu Chishun's daughter?" Pei Zilie watched Li Xingchen walking over with a yawn, and couldn't help but tease her.
I'm afraid that in the entire Li Xinchen group, only Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian are still brave enough to make such a joke with Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen looked at Pei Zilie up and down in surprise, although Li Xinchen didn't mind if these two were with him.
The brother who has been through life and death is joking with him, but this is obviously not Pei Zilie's usual style.
It is more likely that these words will come from Xiao Shilian's mouth.
"Master, why have you become so unruly?" Li Xingchen felt sad, picked up the tea cup and blew gently at the floating tea leaves.
Pei Zilie immediately said seriously: "We, the ministers, should be concerned about the continuation of the general's heirs. The general is worrying too much."
Li Xingchen almost spit out the tea he just drank.
Are you sure this guy didn't get up early in the morning just to be angry with himself? But think about it, Li Xingchen didn't get up very early. In addition to changing clothes, washing up, eating, etc., the time has almost passed. Now Pei Zilie has already spent more than half of the time.
After walking around Xiangyang City and returning to his hometown, Li Xingchen came over leisurely, how could he not be a bit resentful.
"Yesterday... I didn't do anything." Li Xingchen put down the teacup and touched his nose, "I had to tell Lechang and Xiao Xiang no matter what I thought, but I just let the back house have more trouble without knowing it.
Got a person.”
Although this is in ancient times, Li Xingchen's thinking still has the shadow of modern people. He just asked him to bring someone home quietly. Li Xingchen felt that he had no way to explain to Lechang and Xiao Xiang.
Regardless of whether they agree or not - with the smart minds of these two little girls, of course they will not raise objections - at least saying this is a sign of respect for them.
Pei Zilie was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This is a matter for the general's back house, as long as the general feels it is appropriate."
"It's not a good thing to have a fire in the back house." Li Xingchen was a little embarrassed. He always felt that this guy Pei Zilie was mocking him. He thought of something, "The girl who came to the Xiao family should be ready to marry. Before, the general had secretly
I sent someone here to talk to someone about this matter. Since the engagement has been fulfilled, the general seems to have no intention of going back on it."
Pei Zilie frowned and said nothing.
He had made an engagement with Xiao Mohe's daughter Xiao Qing before, but the war between Hanzhong and Xiangyang naturally delayed it. Both parties had prepared betrothal gifts and dowry, but now it was because of Li Xingchen's relationship with Xiao.
The relationship between Maha and Maha was deteriorating and was put on hold. Especially this time when Xiao Maha returned to Jiangling, it can be said that he had completely lost face with Li Xinchen, just to guard against Li Xinchen's possible attack.
Xiao Mohe got married to the Pei family mainly to tie Li Xingchen tightly, but now there is no need for this, so this marriage seems very embarrassing.
Pei Zilie hesitated for a while. According to the current situation, it is impossible for Li Xinchen to be based in Xiangyang. Although Xiangyang is important, it is too remote. After all, the core of Li Xinchen's group is still in Bashu, so Li Xinchen must be here in Xiangyang.
After stabilizing, they returned to Hanzhong or even Shu County.
In this way, the general who stayed in Xiangyang must be Pei Zilie. If Pei Zilie was related to Xiao Mohe again, he would inevitably be a little unconvinced. Pei Zilie still knew the importance of avoiding suspicion. So now he doesn't know if he should refuse.
.
"You don't have to think about it so much," Li Xingchen interrupted Pei Zilie's random thoughts, "Xiang'er and Lian'er are on their way to Xiangyang. When they arrive, I will watch you and the girl from the Xiao family getting married in a glorious manner.
Go, and from now on, Xiangyang City will be entrusted to you."
"But······"
"There are not so many." Li Xingchen's voice suddenly became heavy, "Do you not believe in me, or do you not believe in yourself?"
Pei Zilie was speechless, and after a long time he nodded solemnly.
And Li Xingchen stood up, reached out and patted his shoulder: "Let's go with someone to meet someone."
"who?"
"Li Xun."
————————————————
Li Xun did not appear at the celebration banquet in Xiangyang City. Dai Cai crossed the Mianshui River to Xiangyang City, while Li Xun stayed in Fancheng. Obviously he did not want to see Li Xunchen again in such a short period of time. He bowed to Li Xunchen in the first place.
Li Xun still felt strange now, but he was a manly man who could bend and stretch. Since he had surrendered, he should regard himself as Li Xunchen's subordinate and do the things at hand first.
In fact, Li Xun did not have any important tasks. In addition to arranging city defense, that is, coordinating and managing the prisoners, many prisoners defected to his command. After all, for these Northern Zhou soldiers, Li Xun was considered a minor
I am familiar with some generals.
However, Li Xun did not expect that if he did not go to see Li Xunchen, Li Xunchen would come over to see him. After crossing the Mianshui River, Li Xunchen and Pei Zilie inspected Fancheng's city defenses and then went straight to the Fancheng government office. When Dai Cai left, Chunyu was left behind.
Cen and Li Xun were guarding the city, and when Li Xunchen came, they naturally did not dare to neglect them.
"Welcome general!" Li Xun was in front, and Chun Yucen was behind. When they saw Li Xinchen coming over, they all raised their hands.
Li Xunchen smiled and stretched out his hand to support Li Xun's arm. At the same time, he nodded slightly to Chunyu Cen: "My army marched out of Xiangyang City, held a banquet for a day, and the city celebrated, but let these two people guard the city here. I feel ashamed.
ah."
Chunyucen knew that he was just a supporting role this time, so he immediately smiled and said with a wink, "The general is wrong. Fancheng is such an important place and it needs someone to guard it. It is an honor for us to be able to guard Fancheng for the general."
While saying this, Chunyucen took a few steps back and went to talk to Pei Zilie directly.
At this moment, Li Xunchen looked at Li Xun, who was confused and didn't know what to say: "I've been waiting for Brother Li to join our army for a long time. You also made me wait hard!"
Before Li Xun could react for a while, Li Xunchen had already laughed and pulled Li Xun towards the meeting hall: "Are you still used to being in the army here? After I left, Dai Zidong was responsible for the specific arrangements. He could
Did I treat you wrong?"
Li Xun was flattered and shook his head hastily: "Master Marquis, please rest assured. My subordinates are assisting General Dai in reorganizing the defense, and General Chunyu is here to help. It's very easy."
"It's a pity that we can't find enough soldiers and horses for you to lead in the two cities of Xiangfan." Li Xingchen shook his head and said helplessly, "However, the screening of prisoners in Fancheng and Xiangyang is almost complete. It should be in
Within three days, we can organize a force of about 3,000 to 5,000 troops. For the time being, I will excuse you and take charge of this group of troops."
Li Xun suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, not believing what Li Xingchen said. (To be continued)
