Jiang Yuanxun is also a veteran, and his nearly forty-year career has obviously smoothed out his edges and fighting spirit, and he looks more like a kind old man at this time. Seeing Li Xinchen coming over, he smiled at Li Xinchen and said hello. And Li Xinchen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly solemnly bowed his hand: "General Right Guard, the younger generation is polite." ”

Li Xinchen, who is famous all over the world, saluted such an old man so humbly, Jiang Yuanxun was of course very useful in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand: "General Zhenxi, hurry up, he is also a minister of the same dynasty, there is no need to be so polite." ”

And Xu Ling and Wu Mingche in front also heard the movement behind them, and did not speak, but they both showed a smile on their faces, and they moved in unison. Li Xinchen saw that Wu Mingche's body moved, and hurriedly made a gesture of please, Jiang Yuanxun nodded with a smile, and quickly followed, at this time, it seemed that this somewhat old general seemed to be a lot younger.

The procession passed through the palace gate and entered the main hall.

At this time, when going to the court, the officials who entered the main hall still needed to take off their shoes and keep only their foot clothes, and according to the official rank, mats were prepared in different positions, and the officials needed to kneel on the mats.

Li Xinchen's position is on the side of the pillar of the main hall, and he can be more comfortable to lean back on the pillar, he just glanced at it, next to him is not Jiang Yuanxun, but directly Wu Mingche, needless to say, he also knows that it was specially arranged by the person in charge of this matter, and its purpose is naturally to make General Zhenxi, who has never been to the court before, more comfortable.

And Jiang Yuanxun also noticed this, but Li Xinchen left a good impression on the old general at the door, so the old general did not feel abrupt, but knelt on the cushion first, bent down slightly, and glanced at Li Xinchen, obviously meaning that it might be more comfortable to sit like this.

Li Xinchen nodded with a smile, and at this time, the voice of the waiter came from the front:

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Immediately afterwards, the civil officials led by Xu Ling and the military generals led by Wu Mingche got up together, and bowed their hands respectfully in the direction where Chen Ji came: "See Your Majesty!" ”

"Everyone's family is flat." Chen Ji's voice was a little low, and it was conceivable that the master of Nan Chen's house didn't rest well last night.

Many ministers took their seats, and the voice of the chamberlain was a little sharp: "Today, there is a speed!" ”

Immediately, Xu Ling took the lead in getting up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Bashu has been in my Dachen territory for several months, today General Zhenxi was ordered to come to the court to face the saint, since he should state the battle situation of Bashu, and at the same time, General Zhenxi is a rare general star of my young generation, the old minister is very interested in General Zhenxi's views on the current war situation, and I also ask General Zhenxi to give advice. ”

The main topic of this court meeting is this matter, of course, Li Xinchen did not come to Jiankang Mansion to eat, drink and have fun, everyone knows this in their hearts. It's just that I didn't expect Xu Ling to talk about this matter so straightforwardly, which obviously didn't give the rest of the people a chance to buffer at all, and directly pushed the atmosphere of the entire court meeting to the most tense and climax.

Li Xinchen got up and solemnly bowed his hand to Chen Ji: "From Bashu to Jiankang Mansion, there are also many front-line towns along the way, in addition to some inland and hinterland along the river, but these places have one thing in common, there are still people near the towns, but some deserted suburbs are almost only barren grass······"

The entire court hall was completely silent, and only Li Xinchen's voice was echoing. One after another, their eyes converged on Li Xinchen's body, and they didn't know why Li Xinchen didn't talk about Bashu, but talked about it.

The rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, after the destruction of the Hou Jing Rebellion, has only recovered some vitality until now, and the tug of war between the two sides in the Jinghu area has been going on for more than 20 years, and there are major wars such as the Huajiao Rebellion in the middle, and small contradictions and small conflicts have never been broken, so how common the scene of desertion is, even if it is in the clouds, everyone knows how much it is in their hearts.

So although I don't know why Li Xinchen said this, at least no one will stand up and say that there is something wrong with what Li Xinchen said.

And Li Xinchen then said:

"So now my Da Chen's national strength is actually difficult to support sweeping the world, it seems that my Da Chen soldiers and horses are still sufficient, and there is a certain amount of hoarding of grain and grass, but presumably as long as people who have been to the front line know that these soldiers and horses are now facing the danger of no successor, and these grain and grass can only support two to three months, a large number of uncultivated land is telling Weichen that there is no way to continue to supply food, once the granary is used up, we have to wait for half a year or even a year, if there is really a war, After two or three months, I am afraid that we will have to face the problem of insufficient food, and according to the advance of the previous front, it is almost impossible to break through the defense line of Xiangyang and Xuzhou in two or three months, which means that we will not be able to obtain food and soldiers from the rest of the place during this period. ”

Li Xinchen's words were very solemn, and the expressions of many generals who knew the details became solemn, and Wu Mingche, who had personally participated in the battle of Huaibei not long ago, bowed slightly.

It has been difficult for Nanchen to make a breakthrough on the front over the years, and in the final analysis, it is actually a problem of insufficient soldiers, horses, food and grass, so at the beginning, Nanchen's army often marched vigorously, but once the enemy's troops were replenished, Nanchen's army had to take the initiative to retreat. Everyone knows what the consequences will be.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan and often had the upper hand at the beginning of the battle, but once the battle line was lengthened and the time was delayed, the shortage of Shu Han's grain and grass and soldiers and horses was exposed, and the last few times Zhuge Liang took the initiative to retreat when he saw the opportunity.

Now Nan Chen is obviously facing such a problem as well.

Chen Xu's hand tapped lightly on the handrail, his face was solemn, although he wanted to refute Li Xinchen and disrupt Li Xinchen's current rhythm, but he couldn't find reasons and flaws, Chen Ji, who had been to the Jinghu front, knew that what Li Xinchen said was true.

At the time of the Huajiao Rebellion, many places in Jinghu were already barren, and after the Huajiao Rebellion, the situation would only get worse and worse, Xiao Maha sent troops to Xiangyang several times but had to retreat, in the final analysis, because of the lack of soldiers and horses, grain and grass.

And Li Xinchen obviously didn't give the rest of the people a chance to interject, and then said: "So we need to fight, but not now, we need enough soldiers, enough food, and enough capital to be able to reverse the original confrontation and even stalemate in one fell swoop." ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen's eyes looked around, and his voice sank: "That's right, we still need to wait." ”

A general not far from Wu Mingche's head slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "But now that the political situation in the north is unstable, it stands to reason that it is the time when we need to seize the opportunity to make a move, if we continue to wait now, will we not be able to wait for what we want?" ”
