King Li Xingchen of Han Dynasty hurriedly canonized Lechang as the Queen of Han before New Year's Eve, and also canonized Xiao Xiang and Yuchi Chifan as concubines and wives. This can be regarded as temporarily avoiding the mutual calculations between several aristocratic family groups.
Of course, Li Xingchen knew that as long as there were children in the future, there would be bound to be disputes, but now at least everyone could return their attention to the enemy on the front.
Chen Shujian, the newly arrived supervisor of Nanchen Jingzhou, went to Xinzhou to inspect, and the purpose was self-evident. In order to show deterrence, the Han navy was ordered to go from Kuimen to Zigui and build temporary camps. In response, the navy stationed at Langwei Beach
The Jingzhou navy also went upstream, and the two sides faced off on the river outside Zigui. For a time, the battle clouds were thick.
In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, King Yu Wenxian of Qi attacked Pu Ban, but was resisted desperately by Wei Xiaokuan. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, and corpses covered the ice of the river. After Yu Wenxian's attack failed, he retreated to the north bank of the river. After all, at the end of the year, continuing the attack would be detrimental to the morale of the army.
At this point, the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty finally entered the stalemate stage again. Yang Jian, who was in Chang'an, also breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew that the threats from Luoyang and Jinyang would still exist, and Yu Wenxian would definitely not give up, so Yang Jian also
Without taking a breath, he began to reorganize his armaments and strengthen the defense in the direction of Tongguan. Fortunately, Yu Wenxian also suffered heavy losses due to this bloody battle and was unable to launch an attack for a while. Yu Chijiong had already begun to shrink the defense line towards Luoyang, which relieved Yang Jian.
pressure on the east side.
This war-torn year is still going on even at the end of the year!
Li Xingchen walked quickly into the meeting hall, and the civil and military affairs were already in full swing.
"What did Xu Shanxin say?" Li Xingchen got straight to the point.
Tang Zhengliang, who was responsible for communicating with Xu Shanxin, the Nanchen envoy, stood up hurriedly: "Xu Shanxin said this was completely a misunderstanding and asked both parties to remain calm. The Jingzhou Navy will withdraw from Zigui soon."
"Good day!" Li Xingchen sneered, "Let him tell Chen Shujian that the two sides use Langwei Beach as the boundary. If someone doesn't stop them from building a camp at Langwei Beach, they won't interfere with our construction of a camp in Zigui!"
"As you command!"
"What did the Navy say?"
Wang Chang and other naval generals were on the front line. At this time, Xiao Shilian was naturally in charge of the military news exchange: "The Navy said that Jingzhou did not send many warships. If His Highness gives the order, they can send this fleet within one day."
Team!"
"Wang Chang is very confident." Li Xingchen nodded, "We have been raising troops for a thousand days. It's not time yet. We can just force the Jingzhou Navy to retreat. But the Jingzhou Navy insists on bullying us, so it's indecent to be polite to them!"
"promise!"
Li Xingchen's eyes immediately turned to Tang Yishun: "Can a local battle be fought?"
Tang Yishun smiled bitterly: "If we start the war now, even if it is limited to the navy, we will probably have to pay the price of the suspension of work in the workshops and colleges. After all, we cannot allocate so much money, but at least among the newly established banks
I still have some savings for emergencies.”
This was also within Li Xingchen's expectation. The entire Bashu and Shu regions were undergoing major civil engineering works, and the treasury would be empty for a long time. It would not be easy for financial officials like Tang Yishun and others. However, Li Xingchen believed that Nanchen's side would definitely be no better than him.
Where to go, I heard that the Yangzhou governor group headed by Chen Shuling in the court of Jiankang Mansion once again launched an attack on Xiao Mohe and Chen Shujian. It seemed that the two of them were working together.
Come to think of it, Chen Shujian's life was not easy either.
"In this case, we should exercise restraint in Zigui. As long as the Jingzhou Navy does not take the initiative to attack, then we should not act rashly. Everything will be decided in the coming year." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Zigui is close to Kuimen and far from Jiangling. Continue
It would be more beneficial for us to continue the confrontation, but let’s see how long Xiao Mohe and Chen Shujian can persist.”
————————————-
In the imperial study room, the lights were dim.
Compared to the lantern-filled atmosphere outside, it's a bit deserted here.
Li Xingchen frowned as he looked at the battle report sent back from the front. At this time, Bashu could never withstand a war. Economic construction had just started and it would take enough time. Moreover, there was no production of warships, thunderbolt vehicles and other equipment.
After reaching a sufficient number, Li Xingchen did not dare to fight a local war of annihilation.
This kind of local conflict actually doesn't cost much money. What's more important is that once the victory is won, the gold, silver, property and food and grass seized are often enough to make up for the use. But Li Xingchen had to consider another, worse possibility.
The situation is that this battle has changed from a battle of annihilation to a battle of defeat, which means that there will no longer be sufficient captures.
Of course, if the situation gets worse, the battle may be defeated, and the navy will be severely weakened. As Li Xingchen's future attack on Jiangnan, the navy must not have any accidents at this time, otherwise it will give Nanchen more breathing space.
Of course, Li Xingchen also knew why Chen Shujian and Xiao Mohe had become increasingly tough. It was obvious that the pressure from the Southern Chen court forced them to take some measures to prove themselves, but Li Xingchen did not feel that they had the courage to go to war directly at this time.
After all, Li Xingchen was not unprepared. The army and new naval warships were gathering in Baidi City in a steady stream. At the same time, Pei Zilie in Xiangyang had also set up his formation. If Xiao Maha really wanted to attack Zigui,
You have to wait to face enemies from both sides.
Li Xingchen had to admit that when history had been changed beyond recognition by him, he was undoubtedly losing control of history.
"Husband, take a rest for a while." Lechang quietly put his hands on his shoulders and whispered, "You have been sitting here for a few hours."
Li Xinchen sighed and held Lechang's hand.
The girl's hands were cold and trembling slightly.
"Is there going to be a war?" Lechang asked in a solemn voice. Although she was already Li Xingchen's queen, she was Nan Chen's daughter after all. If the two sides really wanted to go to war, Lechang would still feel uncomfortable.
"I don't want to fight this battle. As for what Xiao Mohe and Chen Shujian think, I don't know." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "It's winter now, and it's not the time to go to war. They must have their own problems."
Difficulties."
Lechang hesitated for a moment, then mustered up his courage and said, "Husband, what can I do with my body?"
Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Yes, it is not yet certain whose side Xu Shanxin is on, so our attitude must be accurately conveyed to Chen Shujian, Le'er, you write in your name
Give him a letter home."
"Okay." Lechang agreed hastily.
Li Xingchen stood up immediately: "Come, I will grind ink for my wife."
"Husband..." Lechang hugged Li Xingchen at once, "Can everything really be done only through war? This is too cruel..."
Li Xingchen patted her gently: "It has already been decided. What we are doing today is just to delay everything by two days and make the process faster. Long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. The world must be unified!" (
