At least the Xiao Mohe that Li Xingchen knew was not like this.
What's more, with Li Xinchen's experience in entering Shu, Xiao Mohe would not do this even if he copied the gourd.
Of course, the more important thing is that Li Xingchen didn't think Xiao Mohe had the ability to attack Bashu at this time, so he asked Xiao Mohe to lead his army to attack. I guess the Jiankang Mansion was really crazy, because I'm afraid no one could guarantee Xiao Mohe.
It was to attack, not to send his troops to Li Xinchen.
Li Xingchen believed that the Jiankang Mansion probably had a little more trust in Xiao Mohe than they had in Li Xingchen. However, Xiao Mohe had firmly secured his position as the number one man in the army through the Battle of Jingzhou. Now,
Since there were no generals in Nanchen, Xiao Mohe was the only one qualified to command the army.
Otherwise, if General Jiang is really replaced as the commander-in-chief, I am afraid that the army will already be in chaos. However, veteran generals such as Wu Mingche and Huang Fazhu have either left or passed away, and the younger generation Wu Huijue and Fan Yi
Not to mention others, either they have become enemies, or because they were demoted last time, there is no way to directly use him now, so Xiao Mohe is really the only choice for the Nanchen court now.
But this only choice obviously does not represent the trust of the Nanchen court. Before the war broke out, the court did not have enough reasons to send supervisory troops, but it did not mean that it would not put pressure on Xiao Maha, so in order to prove himself
At least now that he is loyal to the Nanchen court, it is reasonable for Xiao Mohe to adopt some testing methods.
What's more important is that Li Xingchen doesn't have the capital to go to war with all his strength now. He has an empty treasury, just sown grain and grass, and the Xiangyang army is still reorganizing, but has only received a few warships from the navy...
"Xiao Mohe did this more to test than for other purposes. Since this is the case, we cannot act rashly. Once a war breaks out due to this, it will be difficult for us to sustain it now." Li Xingchen said decisively, "The Navy can just send out ships to monitor closely, and the rest of the troops
The horses should be trained harder, as long as Kuimen and Baidi City are still in our hands, we will have the capital to advance and retreat!"
Since Li Xunchen had already said this, the other generals naturally stopped expressing their opinions. Wang Chang, Li Xun and others responded in unison.
Li Xingchen subconsciously raised his head and looked at the map.
Xiao Mohe, what exactly do you think?
At this point, is it necessary to fight?
Three hundred years of chaos, too much blood has been shed!
————————-
Xiao Mohe's personal captain, Chen Yu, walked into the meeting hall in a dusty manner. He was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Mohe standing next to the huge map in robes, but he still hurriedly said: "General, the camp at Langwei Beach has begun.
It’s under construction.”
Xiao Mohe nodded slightly, but did not turn around, but sighed: "What kind of reaction do you think that little brat Li Xingchen will have? Langwei Beach guards the throat of the Three Gorges. He will block such an army at Langwei Beach."
The beach has blocked his way to the east, this little brat has always been arrogant, will he attack us directly?"
Chen Yu has followed Xiao Mohe in the north and south for so many years. He can even be said to be the person who knows Xiao Mohe best in the world. When he saw Xiao Mohe asking such a question, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After all, the general still didn't want to fight with these few people.
The young man he once promoted became his enemy.
What's more, after three hundred years of troubled times, many lives have been devastated. Although as a general, he is not afraid of war, it is not a bad thing if war can be avoided.
However, there are some things that Xiao Mohe cannot decide in the first place. The imperial court went to Jiangling with Changsha King Chen Shujian as the supervisor. The distrust revealed in this is self-evident, and Xiao Mohe really has no choice now.
It was impossible for him to wait until Chen Shujian arrived before slowly sending out troops. Moreover, as the king of Changsha, Chen Shujian had served as the governor of Xiangzhou. When Nanchen did not capture Jiangling, Xiangzhou was a solid front line for more than ten years.
The previous battle of Wu Mingche's attack on Xiliang started from Xiangzhou. After the defeat, Chen Xu, the then regent, also led reinforcements to Xiangzhou to stabilize the position. In these battles, although Chen Shujian was young, he did not
Not absent.
In other words, Chen Shujian has actually experienced battles, and he is also recognized as the best at fighting among the royal family members. The imperial court sent Chen Shujian here, firstly because of Chen Shujian's own ability, and secondly because of Chen Shujian.
His unswerving support for Chen Shubao in the past was enough to prove his loyalty.
Now that Nanchen's life and death is at stake, the imperial court must maintain control of this large army in Jingzhou.
History has proven that although the clan is not necessarily safe, it is at least more reliable than Xiao Maha.
Therefore, Xiao Mohe could only take action before Chen Shujian, so as to prevent the relationship between the two parties from becoming too rigid after Chen Shujian's arrival, and to prevent Chen Shujian from really angering Li Xingchen.
Anyone who is proficient in military formations and has a clear understanding of the terrain in Jingzhou can see that Xiao Mohe only sent troops to occupy Langwei Beach, which actually put the battle in a very embarrassing situation. From Jiangling to Langwei Beach,
There is still some distance to the tail beach, which means that the transportation of supplies is very difficult, and it is impossible to retain too many soldiers and horses here.
If you continue forward from Langwei Beach, although there are important towns like Zigui in the Three Gorges, they are all abandoned. Continuing to the west is Kuimen. Outside Kuimen is Baidi City, where Li Xingchen deployed heavy troops.
, it is already good to attack without going down the river. With Jingzhou’s current troops and horses, it is not easy to rush up the river.
Therefore, Xiao Mohe arranged such a small force at Langwei Beach. There was no way to really stop Li Xingchen from going down the river, and he had no way to use it as a springboard to move westward, which seemed very embarrassing.
And precisely because of this, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just Xiao Mohe showing off to Li Xingchen.
If a fight really breaks out, this army may be quickly withdrawn by Xiao Maha.
The abandoned Shinshu area cannot be held at all, and it is far away from the main battlefield of Jiangling. When Jiangling faces pressure from Xiangyang, it is impossible to divide the troops to build a defense line to the west.
Xiao Mohe obviously did this to express his intentions to Li Xingchen, but when Chen Shujian arrived and found out the actual situation in Jingzhou, he would definitely know what tricks Xiao Mohe was playing.
I just don’t know what His Highness the King of Changsha will do when the time comes?
Chen Yu, Ren Zhong, Lu Guangda and others all knew that Xiao Mohe was in a dilemma now that his flank was exposed to Pei Zilie's troops in Xiangyang!
Because of this, Xiao Mohe's original move to withdraw from the Xiangyang battlefield aroused many people's doubts. It can even be said that the Nanchen court gradually lost confidence in Xiao Mohe, and Xiao Mohe easily let Xiangyang fall into
Li Xingchen has a lot of connections in his hands. (To be continued)
