But how many people know about Xiao Mohe’s helplessness?
As someone who followed Xiao Mohe, Chen Yu had experienced the tit-for-tat confrontation between Xiao Mohe and Li Xinchen at that time, and of course he knew what Li Xinchen had threatened Xiao Mohe.
Faced with the possible threat to Jiangling, under the circumstances at that time, I am afraid that most people would make the same choice as Xiao Mohe. What's more, Xiangyang City is high and the pond is deep. Xiao Mohe has already paid a lot of effort to conquer Xiangyang.
The price, if you continue to persist, means you will have to pay more casualties. This is what Nanchen, who has fewer and fewer soldiers, least wants to see, and it is also unacceptable.
Moreover, Xiao Mohe thought that Li Xingchen would spend a long time under Xiangyang City, and during this period of time, Xiao Mohe would be able to reorganize his troops, strengthen the city defense, and even cooperate with the court to deal with the two sides of Huaidong and Huaixi.
Road soldiers and horses.
But the facts cruelly slapped Xiao Mohe in the face. Li Xingchen broke through Xiangyang City in a way that no one had thought of, or in other words, a brand-new combat idea. More importantly, Li Xingchen used it in too short a time.
, so short that Xiao Maha had not even returned to Jiangling at that time.
However, in Chen Yu's view, anyone who accuses Xiao Mohe of the current established facts is thinking in hindsight. Under the circumstances at that time, there is no doubt that Xiao Mohe's approach to ensuring the safety of the rear is the most important. He cannot become the third
Two Guan Yunchang from Zumaicheng.
But now that the matter has come to this point, it is of no use to say this. No matter how amazing Li Xinchen's achievements are, Xiao Mohe should take responsibility and accept the court's questioning when he voluntarily gave up the attack on Xiangyang.
In his heart, Chen Yu felt deeply unworthy of Xiao Mohe's loyalty, which could even be said to be foolish loyalty.
Obviously, compared to Nan Chen, who is now in chaos and has treacherous ministers in power, Li Xingchen is Xiao Mohe's best choice.
Originally, several young people on Li Xinchen's side were inextricably linked to Xiao Mohe. Even Xiao Shilian was his son, Pei Zilie was his son-in-law, and Li Xinchen was considered a relative, so they would never treat Xiao Mohe badly. What's more, Li Xinchen's army showed up.
There is an obvious youthfulness, which makes the army more fighting spirit. On the other hand, it is also obviously lacking in experience to a certain extent.
Therefore, Li Xunchen actually needed experienced generals in his army. This is why Li Xunchen actively contacted Chun Yuliang and recruited Li Xun and others to surrender. However, there are actually very few experienced generals in the world who are in their prime.
Young Master, Chun Yuliang is already old, and Li Xun himself does not have much experience in leading an army alone.
In contrast, Xiao Mohe is actually Li Xingchen's best choice.
But now that this path is the general's own choice, he has nothing to say. All he can do is follow the general closely.
Xiao Mohe looked at Chen Yu who lowered his head and said nothing, thinking deeply.
I am loyal to this crumbling dynasty because I don't want to live up to Emperor Wu Chen Baxian's support. I fought on the battlefield at the age of twelve. If Emperor Wu hadn't taken care of him everywhere, I would have turned into bones on the battlefield and been buried in the ancient times.
In the yellow sand, this is probably the driving force that supports Xiao Mohe to persevere.
But Emperor Wu's kindness was limited to himself after all, and had nothing to do with Chen Yu and others who later followed him. Isn't it a bit selfish for him to let Chen Yu and many soldiers follow him like this?
It’s really a difficult path to take!
I don’t know if the situation will become even more uncontrollable after Chen Shujian arrives.

After Li Xingchen hurriedly bathed and changed clothes, he asked Li Ping to add a few more orders. The main ones were to contact Nanchen internal forces who had already turned to Li Xingchen. It was necessary to find out what Xiao Mohe was thinking as soon as possible and what the Nanchen court should do.
What.
No matter how Xiao Mohe's intentions could be seen from clues, Li Xingchen was still a little worried.
This hussar general is famous for his boldness. Even if he is much more stable now, who can guarantee that he will not do anything crazy. Therefore, it is better for Li Xingchen to be more cautious.
Now the intelligence network within Li Xingchen's system has begun to be constructed, and these intelligence networks mainly serve the northern battlefield - this is also related to the fact that Li Xingchen started to establish it at the time when the war with the Northern Zhou Dynasty started.
With the secret help of Hongnong Yang, this intelligence network quickly took root, sprouted and expanded.
However, in terms of facing Nan Chen, because Xu Ling, Wu Mingche and others were on the surface, and Kong Fan was secretly there, no information would be missed, so Li Xingchen did not step up the intelligence investigation on Nan Chen - mainly because
Li Xingchen's manpower is also stretched thin, so of course it is impossible to cover everything.
However, now that Wu Mingche and others have been suppressed and left, this intelligence network has suddenly collapsed. After all, Kong Fan is only "cooperating" with Li Xinchen, so Li Xinchen cannot expect all the information to come out from him, and must start to step up his own efforts.
intelligence exploration.
Of course, the intelligence network cannot be built in a day, but what Li Xinchen needs now is only information related to military mobilization, and people in Nanchen are now panicked. As long as there is a certain amount of liquidity and the temptation of Li Xinchen's contribution here, then it can be opened
Many people's mouths.
Although it was past midnight, there were still candles burning in Lechang's bedroom.
Li Xingchen took a deep breath and walked around the screen.
Her hair was spread over her shoulders, and the girl was flipping through the book boredly. When she saw Li Xinchen coming over, she immediately smiled, dropped the book, and was about to run over with her bare feet. Li Xinchen hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged her:
"You are wearing such thin clothes and the ground is cold. If you don't stay under the quilt properly, do you really think there are earth dragons here?"
Lechang felt warm in his heart when he heard this, but he noticed that Li Xingchen's face was a little tired and helpless. He felt a thump in his heart and hesitated for a moment before asking: "But... what happened?"
Li Xingchen took off his coat and squeezed into the warm quilt first. The quilt with Lechang's fragrance and body temperature was so comfortable. Lechang lay obediently on his chest, and the softness of his chest pressed against Li Xingchen's body, bringing him a sense of comfort.
An intoxicating touch.
"Xiao Mohe sent troops to test, it's nothing serious." Li Xingchen kissed Lechang on the forehead.
"Is there going to be a war?" Lechang trembled, worried.
Li Xingchen couldn't help but snorted: "They don't dare yet."
Seeing Li Xingchen's affirmative expression, Lechang didn't know what he should say and could only nod slightly. No matter what, at least not fighting is a good thing.
Li Xingchen blinked, raised the corners of his mouth, and revealed a hint of a bad smile: "Madam, you've been waiting for a long time, the good night is too short, let's hurry up."
"No!" Lechang shouted almost subconsciously, but he laughed out loud immediately. Li Xingchen couldn't help her reserve, so he turned over and pressed her under him, but he saw Lechang's blood oozing out.
With her pretty face, Li Xingchen still blew out the candle on the bedside. (To be continued)
