Qingchao Captain Yu Xi quickly passed through the soldiers who were busy repairing the defenses and found his father Yu Yi who was lying on the city gate and basking in the sun.
It has to be said that Yu Yi didn't look like he was here to fight at all. He even brought a soft couch and leaned on it on the top of the city. The sunshine after the snow was so warm. He had fought a lifetime of fighting and his body and bones were strong.
, not afraid of a bit of cold wind at all.
However, there is a sharp contrast between Yu Yi sunbathing here and the busy soldiers around him.
"General, the news from the Tianshui scouts is that Li Xingchen has arrived in Chencang." Although he slandered a few words, the expression on Yu Xi's face did not dare to relax. Since he is in the army, he must abide by the rules and titles of the army.
Yu Yi has very strict requirements for this.
"Are we here?" Yu Yi finally raised his eyebrows at this time, "Li Xingchen ran really fast. How many people did he bring with him?"
Listening to his father's lazy voice, Yu Xi felt relaxed for no reason. Although Li Xingchen was scary, Yu Xi also knew what his father was capable of.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Xi knew that the answer was a bit unbelievable, but she still said it: "About seven or eight hundred people."
"What?" Yu Yi couldn't sit still this time and stood up, which surprised Yu Xi. "Dad... General, is there any problem?"
"Seven to eight hundred people?" Yu Yi murmured and repeated. His first reaction was that Li Xingchen was crazy. Did he really think that such a small number of soldiers and horses could deal with him? Yu Yi believed that even if he stood here and waited,
With Li Xingchen in his sight, Li Xingchen probably couldn't do anything between himself and Xiao Guan, who had been reorganized.
But soon Yu Yi felt that this number was somewhat familiar, and raised his eyebrows: "Do you remember how Xiangyang was captured by Li Xingchen?"
Yu Xi was startled for a moment. Xiangyang fell into the hands of Li Xinchen in just a few days. This really shocked the generals all over the world. Therefore, many people wanted to know how Li Xinchen did it. With the Battle of Xiangyang
As time passed, various stories about the Battle of Xiangyang gradually came out. Among them, the fact that Li Xingchen completely disrupted the entire Xiangyang City with only 700 or 800 soldiers and horses made many people unbelievable.
But I can’t believe it, I can’t believe it. Li Xinchen went all the way from Jiangling to Bashu and then to Xiangyang, going around and around, fighting tough and vicious battles. It is reasonable that he had many elite soldiers and generals in his hands. As for why Li Xinchen didn’t general
If these precious elites are to be used dispersedly, so as to achieve the role of leading the new with the old, but if they are to be concentrated, then everyone will not know.
However, not knowing does not mean that you have a low opinion of Li Xingchen's combat ideas. On the contrary, everyone must be especially careful with this army.
At this time, Yu Xi had already reacted: "General, are you saying that these seven or eight hundred people are the army that Li Xingchen relied on to sneak into Xiangyang City and finally gave Cao Xiaoda a fatal blow?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Yu Yi said decisively, and then sighed, "It is good to find so many such elites among tens of thousands of people. If Li Xingchen really chooses to bring only so many people,
If we take risks, it is obviously necessary to lead this team. However, we have to admire that in just a few days, we have already completed our rest. If our soldiers and horses are allowed to fight like Dingjunshan and Xiangyang,
The fierce battle requires at least half a month of rest time, but Li Xingchen is really quite capable."
Seeing Yu Yi's expression becoming more and more serious, Yu Xi did not dare to be careless. His father lived a long life in the army, so his sixth sense was naturally unmistakable.
——————————————————-
In Chencang City.
"Yu Yi will not wait at Xiaoguan forever." Li Xingchen said with a smile, "Xiaoguan is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if we don't attack Xiaoguan, Yu Yi can only watch helplessly in Xiaoguan.
Watching us attack Tianshui and Anding. It is certain that we will come, but I don’t know when the old general will receive the news and when he will come..."
After a pause, Li Xingchen tapped the map with his hand: "But this does not prevent us from taking Tianshui before Yu Yi leaves!"
"It's only four or five days' journey from Xiaoguan to Tianshui. Will the general make it in time?" Liang Luan of the Liang clan in Tianshui said with some worry, but Li Xingchen glanced over and Liang Luan lowered his head almost subconsciously.
Rather than worrying about whether there is enough time, Liang Luan is more worried that Li Xingchen will sacrifice the Liang family's soldiers and horses indifferently. After all, the Liang family's hard-earned wealth does not want to be used up in just a few days.
When Li Xingchen saw Liang Luan's performance, he already had a guess in his mind and couldn't help but sneer. Of course, he didn't believe that so many aristocratic families could not join forces to destroy the two isolated cities of Tianshui and Anding. In the final analysis, it was because of these few
This aristocratic family is still thinking about how to preserve its strength, and has no intention of becoming a leader.
Obviously the Anding Niu family has this idea to some extent, not to mention the Wuwei An family. Wuwei is already under their control. For them, the main purpose of coming to Tianshui and Anding is to help. Since the masters are not
If you are anxious, you can't expect Wuwei An to be so kind. He doesn't expect to be able to eat meat, let alone let him take the initiative to chew hard bones.
As for Secretary Hou... Li Xingchen believes that if Secretary Hou has enough troops, this guy will definitely not let go of this opportunity to revive his family. It's a pity that he only led a partial army before, and there is no way at all.
Playing a leading role, if the chaos in the northwest had not been eroded out of control, and if Li Xingchen had not rushed to Chencang in person, I am afraid that those aristocratic families would not take Mi Hou seriously at all.
The Jiangnan Hou family has little relationship with the northwest aristocratic families like them, and they are too lazy to see such a partial army!
Therefore, Li Xingchen is not surprised that the northwest will eventually become such a mess. With the mentality of these aristocratic families trying their best to preserve their own mentality, he would be surprised if there is no chaos.
But now that Li Xingchen is here, he won't let them be so leisurely.
At this time, Li Xingchen had realized that his main task this time was probably not to defeat Yu Yi. Yu Yi, who was obviously coming out to avoid trouble, did not necessarily have the intention to compete with Li Xingchen in this cold winter.
It's not a good time to fight, not to mention that Yu Yi himself doesn't have enough food and supplies for his troops. It would be good if he can pull the troops out for a spin.
What Li Xinchen needs to do more is to consider how to knead these seemingly unrelated aristocratic families into a ball and completely become a sharp knife in Li Xinchen's hand. After all, if Li Xinchen wants to continue to expand to Hexi based on the northwest and cooperate with Hanzhong to attack Chang'an, he will
We cannot do without the help of these local snakes. (To be continued)
