However, Li Xingchen did not seem to want to ridicule the defeated general. The fighting around him had gradually subsided. When he discovered that the general had fallen into the hands of the enemy, the last remaining fighting spirit of the Northern Zhou soldiers was wiped out. Under the supervision of the Bashu generals,
Next, they squatted in the trench with their heads in their hands, shivering.
"Prepare hot soup for them and warm them up first." Li Xingchen waved his hand, then looked back at Yu Xi, who looked a little surprised, and said with a smile, "Major General, I will not embarrass you, and even want to let you go back."
, tell the old general that it doesn’t make much sense to continue fighting this battle. Maybe we should sit down and talk."
Yu Xi was startled for a moment, obviously he didn't come back to his senses for a while, but he quickly raised his head and said coldly: "What do I have to talk to you about? The defeated general, whether you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you. Don't
Playing these pretentious tricks."
"Don't be ignorant!" Li Ping immediately drew out his knife. When Li Xun was captured at Dingjun Mountain, he did not speak to Li Xinchen in this tone. This was simply looking down on Li Xinchen.
"Why was this battle lost? I asked myself that I know better than the Major General," Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to stop Li Ping, the smile on his face did not change, "And maybe... the old general knows better than the Major General, so the Major General
There is no need to be afraid of punishment from the old general. Perhaps the old general is still interested in considering certain suggestions."
Yu Xi was a little embarrassed when Li Xinchen said what was on his mind. But when he heard what Li Xinchen said next, he was a little surprised: "How can you say this?"
"You'll know when you get back." Li Xingchen waved his hand impatiently, as if giving an order to expel the guest, "Li Ping, let some of the Major General's personal guards go and let them escort the Major General back.
It would be bad if something happened."
Yu Xi wanted to ask again, but seeing Li Xingchen striding away, he couldn't help but frown. Li Ping and Cheng Feng glared at him angrily. Yu Xi had no choice but to lead the guards in a hurry.
Submerged into the night.
————————-
It was not that Yu Yi had not expected the defeat tonight.
The attack during the day was undoubtedly beyond his control. The layers of defense arranged by Li Xingchen were probably the same as when he was at Tiangongyuan, but there seemed to be many differences. The biggest difference was obviously that Li Xingchen had been able to
The skillful use of these lines of defense makes them not just a line of defense, but also a means of attack for Li Xingchen.
Li Xingchen cleverly used these lines of defense, constantly shrinking, attacking, and shrinking again. Yu Yi didn't know whether he should continue to reinforce, or even whether he should retreat. In this way, Li Xingchen successfully controlled Yu Xi's troops.
Halfway up the mountain, he was very close to himself but far away from Yu Yi's main force - in fact, Yu Yi only had more than a thousand soldiers and horses left in his hands, which could not be considered the main force at all.
Then the disaster struck. It wasn't that Yu Yi didn't respond quickly after the incident happened, but that while the reinforcements were still struggling to pass through the wooden stakes and traps, Li Xinchen's army had already rushed into the trench, and everything was irreversible after that.
.
After the reinforcements sent out by Yu Yi lost a few more men in the trap, they only received Yu Xi, who was released by Li Xingchen.
Yu Yi already knew that his son's armor was still there but he was bare-handed.
Yu Xi also knew how humiliating it was to be captured. After entering the camp, he knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and waited for his father to blame him.
"What did Li Xinchen say?"
"How does the general know?"
Yu Yi sighed: "If Li Xingchen hadn't asked you to come back to send a message, it would obviously be better for him to control you than to put you back. It also shows that he wants you to bring you back, which is much more important than you.
."
Yu Xi suddenly smiled bitterly: "The general is aware of this."
"Get up, kid." Yu Yi was a little helpless, "You should have endured these humiliations personally. You were humiliated because of improper command. It should be You, the father, who should ask for your forgiveness."
If Yu Yi hadn't decided to advance or retreat for a while during the day's battle, the battle situation might have been written in another way. Of course, these are all hindsight. At that time, no one knew that everything would develop like this, but Yu Yi did not
He would not allow his son to bear his own sins.
"Will... Daddy?" Yu Xi was startled.
"Tell me about it."
Yu Xi nodded hurriedly: "Li Xingchen asked the child to tell daddy that it's time to sit down and talk."
Yu Yi's hands suddenly shook, with a helpless look on his face, and he slowly sat back on the chair: "This Li Xingchen..."
To be honest, Yu Yi knew very well that there was no way to fight this battle. After such a defeat, Yu Yi's former soldiers certainly did not have much morale to continue the attack, not to mention that the Helan Division on the Annan Line was also repeatedly
It was urgent, and Xiao Shilian's soldiers and horses directly threatened Sanfu and Xiao Guan's retreat. If Yu Yi destroyed these thousand soldiers and horses here again, Xiao Guan would not have many guards to rely on, and sooner or later the entire northwest would be
Will fall into Li Xinchen's hands.
Yu Yi is really in a dilemma now, and Li Xingchen has obviously seen through Yu Yi's thoughts. He gave Yu Yi a step to take, but Yu Yi now has no idea what kind of price he will have to pay if he takes this step.
.
In order to get out of Cangxi Valley, Yu Chijiong and Wei Xiaokuan even gave Li Xinchen every last bit of compensation to important places in northern Sichuan such as Zitong and Jiange. What does Li Xinchen want this time? There is no need for more in the northwest.
Say, where is Xiao Guan?
But having said that, are there any other options now?
Yu Wenxian, who owns the Central Plains and Hebei, is already eyeing Guanzhong. At least at this time, Yang Jian will not allow his backyard to catch fire.
At this time, Yu Yi felt that he could deeply understand the feelings of Wei Xiaokuan and Yuchi Jiong at that time. He knew clearly that they wanted to take advantage of Li Xingchen, but there was nothing he could do.
"Dad?" Yu Xi raised his head.
Yu Yi let out a long sigh and continued to delay like this. In the end, Li Xingchen would benefit. It would be better to listen to what Li Xingchen wanted to say before making a judgment.
"Send someone up the mountain to tell Li Xinchen that he will go to visit him early tomorrow morning." Yu Yi said in a deep voice.
"This is too dangerous!" Yu Xi was a little anxious.
Yu Yi looked at the tent above his head that was being shaken by the strong wind: "Now that the matter has come to this, do we have any other choice? Instead, we might as well tell Li Xingchen in this way. At least I'm not afraid of him yet!"
After a pause, Yu Yi sat down, a little slumped.
This may also be Yu Yi's last bit of confidence.
But does such confidence really work? (To be continued)
