Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters the best candidate
After a defeated general surrenders, he has to withstand a test, or at least show a certain degree of sincerity, otherwise who would dare to believe it easily?
Li Xun obviously had nothing to offer, and he had even endured several months of hard labor in order not to surrender.
This made Li Xun feel a little uneasy. What did Li Xun think of him as a subordinated general? Could it be that one day he had done something wrong to make Li Xun suspicious and his body was missing? A hero has always been a very scary person.
Yes, Li Xun didn't believe that Li Xingchen had much kindness.
Therefore, Li Xun does not have soldiers in his hands now, which makes him feel more relaxed. In the past, soldiers were real power, but now as a general, he does not want to show his greed for power, which will not be beneficial to him.
benefit.
In the end, who would have thought that Li Xunchen would actually offer to hand over a team of soldiers to him, which made Li Xun wonder what he wanted to do.
Li Xunchen said calmly at this time: "After these few days of rest, I'm afraid Zhengyan (Li Xun's alias) you won't have so much leisure time."
As soon as Li Xun raised his head, Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and tapped on the map: "Now we don't have so much time to reorganize our troops and train new recruits. We can only play the role of every troop, horse and soldier. The troops of the Northern Dynasty surrendered.
If you directly ask them to turn their guns to deal with their own people, it would be a bit overwhelming, so please work hard and take this team to Baidi City to hand over the defense with Xu Deyan and Cao Zhong. Now the workshops in Nannan County and Bajun have been
Start building warships. If nothing goes wrong, there should be several new warships launched by now. At that time, you will be responsible for discussing with Wang Chang, practicing warships, and becoming familiar with water warfare."
After a pause, Li Xingchen then said: "There may be many northern soldiers who are not good at water, but you don't have to worry too much. Wang Chang will send naval generals for special guidance. In addition, all the southern soldiers from Baidi City will not be transferred away, only some will be transferred."
I will give you half of it and give you the remaining half. Zheng Kaiyuan, who is under the command of the master, performed well in the Battle of Xiangyang. I have promoted him to a partial general and will be your deputy."
"This..." Li Xun was a little surprised. He never thought that Li Xingchen would entrust him with an important task and put him in Baidi City.
But then I thought about it, so many soldiers who surrendered from the Northern Zhou Dynasty were definitely not able to be convinced by Li Xunchen in a short while. It was indeed a good choice to let Li Xun, a general who was quite famous in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, lead them.
What's more, the place Li Xingchen chose was Baidi City, where the enemy he needed to face was no longer the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but Xiao Mohe. Judging from the situation of this battle in Xiangyang, Li Xingchen had already shown his affection for Nanchen.
Ambition, and Xiao Mohe will definitely not be able to sit back and watch Li Xingchen show his teeth and claws - after all, he is also a ruthless character who is famous for relying on the head of an admiral from among thousands of troops!
Li Xunchen asked Li Xun to go to Baidi City, which was obviously a good choice.
Seeing that Li Xun seemed to be hesitant, Li Xun raised his eyebrows and was about to speak. Li Xun had already stood up and solemnly handed over his hands: "The general is incapable of talent. I am willing to do my best for the general."
Li Xingchen just smiled slightly.
Watching Li Xun stride away, Pei Zilie laughed: "Do you believe him?"
Why does this question sound familiar... Li Xingchen just said lightly: "It's not important that a certain prime minister doesn't believe him. It's more important whether he believes in the court in the north, but it doesn't matter if he stays away from the north.
bad thing."
"Jiangling is not the only one that needs to be dealt with over at Baidi City." Pei Zilie said after careful consideration.
"Nanzhong is not our complete enemy," Li Xunchen tapped the armrest with his hand. He knew what Pei Zilie was worried about. "Li Xun is a steady man and should know how to advance and retreat. What's more, there is no Luo Ya watching over there.
Is that so? Du Qi is the link, Li Xun is the sword, and I am not that easy to talk to. It just depends on what the tribes in Nanzhong want."
Pei Zilie nodded slightly. Of course, he knew that Li Xunchen must have other considerations when doing this, such as not trusting Xu Deyan. After all, behind Xu Deyan stood Xu Ling and the southeastern gentry headed by the Xu family. This time, Li Xunchen took the initiative to accept Li Xun.
It is tantamount to taking the initiative to accept the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. This must be further discussed with the Southeast family. At least judging from the current situation, Xu Ling and others are more likely to express opposition.
Therefore, Li Xingchen must first stabilize Xu Deyan and pass his words to the southeastern gentry through Xu Deyan.
As for Cao Zhong, the old direct descendant who followed Li Xinchen to Shu, he should also take this opportunity to stretch out his muscles.
There is no need for Li Xingchen to make these considerations clear to Pei Zilie. Everyone can understand each other tacitly. Pei Zilie will know what to do when the time comes, and it is unlikely that Li Xingchen will send Xu Deyan and Cao Zhong to Xiangyang, so it is not Pei Zilie's turn.
Worry about these things.
Pei Zilie immediately picked up the teacup and took a slow sip: "Shizhong, the top priority is still the merits of the two battles of Xiangyang and Hanzhong. We must implement them as soon as possible. Now everyone is waiting eagerly, so you have to make an idea."
Li Xingchen looked solemn. Everyone fought on the battlefield for meritorious service, but if Li Xingchen delays it any longer, he may be dissatisfied: "The merit book has been tallied, and I will write a memorial today to ask the imperial court for instructions."
"You still ask the imperial court for instructions now?" Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows, wondering what Li Xingchen was thinking. Xu Ling and Wu Mingche are now gradually being marginalized by the East Palace in Nanchen Chaotang. I am afraid that these memorials will be ignored by His Majesty and the East Palace without even reading them.
The ministers took it and burned it together.
Opposing Li Xingchen now seems to be the most correct thing to do in the Nanchen court.
"After going through the motions, I don't expect them to agree." Li Xingchen said lightly, "I have fulfilled my duty for Da Chen till the last minute. If they don't agree with me, there is nothing they can do. Now that the matter has come to this, who can do anything to me?
?”

Jiangling, Xiao Mohe's mansion.
The courtyard was bustling with activity. Xiao Qing's dowry had already begun to be put away, and the maids coming and going were being directed by the housekeeper. Although everyone had more or less figured out that Xiao Mohe and Li Xingchen were on the verge of war.
However, since the head of the family has never expressed any clear objection to this marriage, and instead happily received Pei's visitors, it means that at least the head of the family still supports this marriage, so everyone has done it with all their heart.
Xiao Mohe walked through the crowd calmly, and Lu Guangda walked over quickly under the guidance of Chen Yu. When he saw Xiao Mohe, he hurriedly saluted: "General!"
"Wankan, what's wrong with you? You're in a panic." Xiao Mohe was a little surprised. Lu Guangda was considered a general, but it was rare to see him so confused. (To be continued)
