Chapter 854: It's time to rest

After the war, the city of Xiangyang slept in the morning light.

The thick black smoke had been blown away, and only a few embers were still burning, but it was no longer a big deal. Chen Zhishen and others, who arrived later, led the soldiers and horses to start cleaning the forage field, fortunately, the Northern Zhou army's firefighting was still timely, so there was still a small part of the grain and grass that was successfully divided.

For the huge forage field in Xiangyang City, this grain and grass may be nothing, but at this time, when taken out alone, Li Xinchen was still pleasantly surprised to find that at least these grains and grasses were enough to support the army to stay here for an extra month.

For this reason, Li Xinchen was even more heartbroken, Cheng Feng, a loser, who knows how much grain he burned, otherwise all this grain would fall into Li Xinchen's hands, I am afraid that Li Xinchen will not need to worry about grain and grass at all in a short time.

You must know that the Bashu army attacking Xiangyang, now all the grain and grass are transferred from Chencang in the northwest with great difficulty, even if there is a river to use, it can't stand the road is far away, and the number of Bashu troops along the way is not much, no one can ensure that there will be no accidents in the middle, after all, in this troubled world, there are too many crazy people, and there will inevitably be hungry bandits with red eyes in the surrounding mountains.

Although the Ba people who escorted the grain and grass in the back have entered the mountains several times to clear it, but the effect is not very good, after all, this is a big mountain that the Ba people are not familiar with, and it is indeed difficult for them to gain a firm foothold in the mountains in such a short time, but fortunately, they also realize that these "regular troops" are not as easy to deal with as before, so at least these days the bandits are still safe.

Even so, Li Xinchen did not dare to take it lightly, there is only one road from Hanzhong to Xiangyang, and there must be no accidents. And if the problem of food and grass supply can be solved nearby, then the dependence on this road will naturally be greatly reduced.

While thinking about it, Li Xinchen scolded Cheng Feng in his heart.

Of course, no matter what, Li Xinchen is a little bit standing and talking without backache.

The corpses on the city wall have been collected, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will be cremated outside the city, while the soldiers of the Bashu will be buried together. Although thin burials have become a tradition in the troubled times, Li Xinchen still insists on collecting some fine wood in the city and spreading it under the grave pit to at least show his attention. For this reason, even a few houses on the side of the government were demolished.

"General!" Seeing Li Xinchen coming over, several Bashu soldiers who were repairing the city wall hurriedly stood up, looking at the general who led them to create this miracle with some excitement.

Or in their hearts, at this time, Li Xinchen was almost the same as a god.

"Boy, how many Zhou dogs did you kill?"

"General Qiyu, two ······ Two! The young soldier's face flushed, and it was evident that he had not expected that the unattainable general would talk to him so cordially.

"Good boy!" Li Xinchen laughed and looked around, "What about you?" ”

"One!"

"No ······"

Some voices are loud, others are like gnats.

Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a good man who killed Zhou Gou, don't be proud, there will be fights in the future, remember your own merits, and if you can't show evidence when you talk about meritorious deeds and rewards later, there is nothing you can do." And those brothers who don't have a head don't worry, the road is still long, follow so-and-so, sooner or later there will be a chance to make contributions! This time, it's not because these Zhou dogs surrendered too quickly, otherwise I believe that everyone can have a head! ”

Immediately all the soldiers laughed.

One of the young soldiers scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "General, when will this battle be over?" ”

The surrounding city walls suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Li Xinchen. I have to say that this is a tricky problem, as long as anyone with a little experience knows that Xiangyang is just the beginning of Li Xinchen's struggle for world dominance.

After taking Xiangyang, Li Xinchen had the ability to attack in multiple ways, so he was able to change from the original separatist side to the current hegemony of the world. And the world is so big, the road is long!

The battle lord and the general who followed behind Li Xinchen were about to pop out their eyes, and they couldn't wait to beat this kid who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. And Li Xinchen laughed: "What, homesick?" ”

"Hmm." Sensing that something was wrong, the young soldier just nodded slightly, not daring to speak.

Li Xinchen looked around, and the expressions of the soldiers were different.

Apparently they also vaguely wanted to know the answer to this question.

"The world is so big, we have only left less than half of it, and there are still many battles to be fought," Li Xinchen said unhurriedly, "But at least in this year, we can live a little in peace, you are homesick, and you have to breathe a sigh of relief." After completing the task, each department will take turns to rest, and those who are close to home can go home on vacation! ”

Li Xinchen's words were loud, and the surrounding soldiers subconsciously glanced at each other, and immediately burst into cheers.

"However, you can guarantee that this Xiangyang City will have to be repaired first!"

"This is nature, please rest assured General!"

Li Xinchen smiled and chatted with a few more soldiers, patted them on the shoulder, and was about to walk up to the city gate, Pei Zilie asked with some worry: "Shizhong, do you really plan to ······?"

Li Xinchen paused, and said helplessly: "We have been fighting for more than a year, and it's time to take a breath." The internal affairs are not stable, and they are not able to use military force. ”

Pei Zilie nodded, he was not a militant like Xiao Shilian, and it was naturally a good thing to be able to rest for a while. The army was already exhausted when it moved to Bashu and Xiangyang, and if it continued to urge, I am afraid it would only cause unimaginable bad consequences.

At this time, a scout came quickly: "General Qiyu, Wei Chishun and Wei Chikuan rushed out of the south gate, and are now fleeing in the direction of Da Xian Mountain, and the old general Chun Yu led the team to pursue!" ”

"Ran away?" Li Xinchen suddenly raised his eyebrows.

————————————-

The fact that Wei Chishun and Wei Chikuan were able to escape was actually a fluke.

Chun Yuliang's calculation was not bad, when he arrived at the south gate, the Wei Chi brothers were also riding their horses and galloping towards this side, but Chun Yu Liang still miscalculated one point after all, that is, the influence and appeal of the Yu Chi brothers in the army.

When they saw the banner of Wei Chi's family, the Northern Zhou soldiers who had already knelt and surrendered inside and outside the south gate suddenly rioted, some wanted to take the opportunity to escape, and some desperately rushed into the Bashu soldiers around them in order to buy time for their major general to leave.

Wei Chi Hui has been fighting for most of his life, although he has always had strict military orders, but he loves soldiers like children, so these old subordinates of Wei Chi Hui saw that the young general had a chance to escape, and naturally they were no longer depressed.
