"Oh?" Li Xinchen put down the candlestick casually, but he didn't expect that Wei Chi Yuan would not be able to support it, "Is the news confirmed?" ”

"It's true!" Xiao Shilian nodded, "In order to prevent this news from not coming back, our scouts came back in a circle, otherwise it would not have been delivered at this time." It is said that all the healers in the baggage camp have passed, and the whole camp was silent, and no one was allowed to inquire about it, but our scouts could already surmise from the few words they had heard. ”

Li Xinchen shook his fist fiercely, and Cao Zhong and Dai Cai also showed surprised looks.

Wei Chi Hui fell ill, which shows that Li Xinchen's previous tactics of cutting off the grain road of Micang Mountain have completely stimulated him, and it may even involve more contradictions between the two armies of Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan, in other words, Li Xinchen's previous speculation and plan have played a role.

The smile on Xiao Shilian's face was put away, and he handed another battle report to Li Xinchen: "But there is still bad news, I'm afraid the Tuas side won't last long." Wei Shou's attack was even more fierce than we had imagined. ”

Li Xinchen's pupils contracted suddenly, and he took a cool breath gently.

Mianzhu Pass and Tiangong Courtyard, no matter which one is lost, it will inevitably affect the overall situation of the entire Bashu. Pei Zilie is not Li Xinchen, he went all the way from Guanghan to Mianzhu Pass, and he also conquered the city, and the difficulties he overcame were no less than Li Xinchen.

What's more, Pei Zilie is facing Wei Shou's troops, and there is no such thing as stirring up relations and relying on the contradictions between the two armies to create checks and balances.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Xinchen said in a deep voice.

Once Mianzhu Pass is lost, then Pei Zilie can only retreat to Guanghan, and behind Guanghan is Shu County, Guanghan is not a strong city, even if there is the cover of the sailor, it may not be able to hold for long.

If Wei Shou leads the army to rush to the city of Shu County, then everything Li Xinchen has done in the past few months will naturally be wasted, and it will be difficult for all parts of Ba County to support it for too long, and more importantly, Li Xinchen will completely fall into the point of being passively beaten, and it is impossible to at least grasp part of the initiative as now.

Xiao Shilian was a little surprised: "Shizhong, don't worry, Tuas just can't hold Lutou Mountain for the time being, at least the Guancheng is still in our hands, and it is impossible for Wei Shou to cross the Mianzhu Pass and rush directly into Shu County for a while." Therefore, in a certain opinion, it is more important to be on Wei Chi's side, after all, this is also related to the overall situation of the entire Bashu. ”

Li Xinchen was silent for a moment and nodded reproachfully. Maybe it's because he is still worried about Pei Zilie. At the moment, his gaze turned back to the sand table, Pei Zilie was dangerous, but the predicament in front of him was what he really needed to worry about.

"It's not too early, the concubine specially made some soup." At this moment, footsteps hurriedly sounded, Xiao Xiang and Li Li'er turned from behind the screen, and followed their guards carrying a few soup pots.

Seeing Li Xinchen's wife, Dai Cai and Cao Zhong did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed.

Before the soup pot was opened, a faint aroma could already be smelled, and suddenly, including Li Xinchen, everyone subconsciously raised their heads, since the beginning of today's war, everyone has not eaten well, and they are already hungry at this time.

However, Li Xinchen has not yet spoken, and everyone is a little embarrassed.

Xiao Shilian was the most polite, took a deep breath, quickly ran forward and reached out to take the soup pot, opened the lid directly, and a fragrance filled his nose.

And Xiao Xiang smiled and said: "You are fighting fiercely ahead, so the specially prepared black chicken soup, which also has wolfberries, red dates and green vegetables, plays a slightly nourishing role, and the generals taste it slowly." ”

While speaking, Xiao Xiang stopped Xiao Shilian: "Boqing, the soup is still hot, be careful, don't burn!" ”

Xiao Shilian nodded again and again with emotion, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is still virtuous······ Hiss! ”

Li Li'er didn't know when she was standing behind Xiao Shilian, twisting the soft flesh on Xiao Shilian's waist with her hand, and slowly turning in circles.

Seeing the sudden change in the expression on Xiao Shilian's face, everyone already understood what was going on, and immediately looked at each other and smiled. And Li Xinchen took the soup pot while gently holding Xiao Xiang's hand and pinching it: "It's hard work." ”

Xiao Xiangqiao's face was slightly red, and she immediately lowered her head and didn't want others to see the abnormality, but smiled softly: "Husband should take care more." ”

Without waiting for Li Xinchen to answer, Xiao Xiang immediately saluted, and his voice also raised: "The war is tense, so I won't bother you." ”

"Thank you, ma'am!" Cao Zhong and Dai Cai, as well as Li Ping, hurriedly surrendered their hands. Their eyes have long been drawn away by the food in the soup pot.

And Xiao Xiang tugged on Li Li'er's sleeve, and Li Li'er said in Xiao Shilian's ear angrily: "Obviously half of it was cooked by me for my sister-in-law, you wait!" ”

After speaking, Li Li'er also saluted and left with Xiao Xiang.

Xiao Shilian only then had the courage to turn around and wave his fist to show his dissatisfaction, which suddenly made the generals smile deeper, and the worries about the battle situation just now also dissipated a lot.

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and knocked on the table: "Okay, since Uchiko has already sent the soup, let's try it all, and after eating, we will discuss the war again!" ”

"No!" Cao Zhong and the others were already rumbling in their stomachs, so they naturally stopped being polite at this time and hugged each other.

And Xiao Xiang is indeed careful, including the guards in the council hall. At the same time, Li Xinchen opened his soup pot and found that there were a few more quail eggs than Xiao Shilian, which were obviously put in by Xiao Xiang alone.

"This girl ······" Li Xinchen shook his head and chuckled.

Although he didn't say anything, Xiao Xiang's concern for himself was self-evident. While thinking, Li Xinchen took a sip of the bowl, and the soup rolled into his stomach with warmth.

——————————————————-

The night wind blew the flags on the city's head, and the footsteps were hurried.

"These are all put away," Zheng Kaiyuan said loudly, walked quickly through the city, and just saw Xu Deyan walking towards him, and hurriedly arched his hand, "The main book, the wooden rolling stones have been put in place according to the general's requirements, and the trebuchet and bed crossbow are all in place." ”

Xu Deyan returned the salute and asked, "Have you seen the general?" ”

"In the tower." Zheng Kaiyuan hurriedly replied.

And Xu Deyan bowed slightly, strode into the city tower, and saw Pei Zilie's back.

Pei Zilie quietly looked at the sand table in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Lutou Mountain has already retreated?" ”

Xu Deyan bowed slightly: "More than a hundred brothers have retreated, after all, the enemy was exhausted when he went up the mountain, so he had no intention of pursuing." The last general will directly transfer them to Luofeng Slope for repair, which can also prevent the enemy from trying to copy our rear road. ”

Pei Zilie exhaled: "Xiuyuan, it is estimated that the loss of this Mianzhu Pass will be a matter of about two days, we have lost a small half of our troops in Lutou Mountain, it is difficult to support it for too long, plus the loss of Lutou Mountain, the enemy occupies a high place, you can have a full view of the situation in the city, this Mianzhu Pass is even more difficult to defend······"
