First, the surrounding terrain is narrow and rugged, even if he can't beat it, Pei Zilie can retreat step by step, just the battle is enough for Wei Shou to drink a pot, and more importantly, the scouts sent by Pei Zilie have already made contact with several Ba tribes in the deep mountains.

These Ba tribes didn't have time to go to Cangxi Valley, so they simply supported Pei Zilie nearby.

The battle in Cangxi Valley has been enough to prove the role and ability of these Ba people in mountain warfare, so Pei Zilie believes that if he really wants to fight Wei Shou like Li Xinchen, it is not that there is no chance to make Wei Shou suffer.

However, Wei Shou didn't seem to appreciate it, and he never wanted to go out of the city to fight Pei Zilie.

So when he heard the news that Wei Shou was out of the city, how could Pei Zilie not be excited?

At least this battle is not just watching the excitement under the Sword Pavilion City.

"General!" Chen Zhishen walked in quickly, these days of battle made this tower-like man look more upright, and his eyes were burning, staring at Pei Zilie tightly, without thinking about it, he knew that he would definitely not be able to sit still and come to fight.

If Li Xinchen's command is the most belligerent, I am afraid that Xiao Shilian and Chen Zhishen, the two generals who are completely from Xiao Maha, but now Xiao Shilian has become a lot more stable, and it seems that Chen Zhishen has gone to the opposite extreme of Xiao Shilian, taking the lead in every battle and charging ahead, especially when dealing with many local armies in the Northern Zhou Dynasty before, Chen Zhishen charged like this, and the opposite side basically had no courage to continue fighting.

Therefore, on the contrary, Chen Zhishen is becoming more and more like Xiao Maha.

Pei Zilie made a gesture to calm her down, and immediately looked at Xu Deyan: "Let's talk about it." ”

After training in the army for so long, Xu Deyan has grown a beard, and his face has become angular because of the blowing of the mountain wind, and the breath of the children of the previous family has dissipated, if he didn't know, I'm afraid no one would think that the young general standing in front of him is the grandson of Xu Ling, the head of today's Great Chen civil officials.

"Wei Shou took two thousand soldiers and horses as the vanguard, and advanced directly to the south along the avenue outside the Sword Pavilion." Xu Deyan hurriedly walked to the side of the map, stretched out his hand and nodded, "At the same time, a large number of scouts were sent to patrol around, obviously trying to catch and eliminate our scouts." ”

Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows, it was reasonable for Wei Shou to focus on Cangxi Valley, he didn't expect Wei Shou to come stupidly to fight with him, or even attack Mianzhu Pass directly. This will not help the current battle situation at all, and presumably Wei Shou himself clearly understands this.

"Two thousand soldiers and horses, Wei Shou wants to use such a few people to open the way, but he looks down on us too much." Chen Zhishen snorted and said.

After the battle of Shu County and Mianzhu Pass, the comparison of the strength of the two sides has changed significantly, through the replenishment of troops and the recruitment of new soldiers, Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen have seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, and now there are five thousand people everywhere outside the Sword Pavilion, plus the cooperation of more than 1,000 people, two thousand people are really not enough for Chen Zhishen to stuff his teeth.

On the contrary, in the battle of Mianzhu Pass, Wei Shou suffered heavy losses, but in the end he returned in vain, his morale was low, and the number of soldiers and horses was reduced to about the same level as Pei Zilie, but Wei Shou definitely couldn't pull all the soldiers and horses out to fight a decisive battle with Pei Zilie or support Cangxi Valley, so the people who could really participate in the battle were four or five thousand people.

Whether it is to deal with the opponent's forward, or the whole army of both sides to fight each other, for Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Come, here, and here, all the mountains are under control, send out all our scouts, and block the road with the Ba people," Pei Zilie stretched out his hand and focused heavily on the map, "Didn't Wei Shou want to catch our scouts, and he wouldn't give him this opportunity!" ”

Xu Deyan and Chen Zhishen looked stunned at the same time. And Pei Zilie said in a deep voice: "The battle in Cangxi Valley is outnumbered, and it is already difficult for General Dangkou to support him alone, so he can't let Wei Shou's soldiers and horses go over again!" ”

"No!" Chen Zhishen and Xu Deyan gave up their hands at the same time.

And Pei Zilie grabbed his saber: "Go!" ”

The current battle situation is becoming more and more uncertain, although he doesn't know what Li Xinchen is thinking in his heart, but Pei Zilie knows that at least the situation at this moment is much better than when Li Xinchen faced the two armies of Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan.

At that time, I gritted my teeth and persevered in the predicament, so why worry about it now.

Li Xinchen's letter clearly stated that he wanted to use the entire Cangxi Valley as the battlefield of the decisive battle, so Pei Zilie would help Li Xinchen stop Wei Shou, the last and most powerful reinforcement of the enemy, north of Cangxi Valley!

Pei Zilie knew what this battle was about, even if he fought for his life, he had to help Li Xinchen win this battle.

——————————————————-

Li Xinchen slowly put down the letter in his hand, sighed softly, and reached out to hand it to Xiao Shilian, who had been waiting for a long time next to him.

This is Xiao Maha's handwritten letter sent from Xiao Maha in Xiangyang, Xiao Maha is still the crisp and neat Xiao Maha, he did not say a word of nonsense in the letter, and concisely introduced the current battle situation in various battlefields - for Li Xinchen, who has been fighting in the mountains of Bashu for several months, most of these news are fragmented, and Xiao Maha's systematic analysis and introduction made Li Xinchen know what the overall situation of the world has evolved now.

Needless to say, the battle situation in Xiangyang is now under the city of Dun, fortunately, he cut off the trestle bridge on the water in time, and there is a sailor as a barrier, otherwise the battle situation in Xiangfan must have been one-sided.

However, Li Xinchen also knew that as long as the enemy's forces were not mobilized, Xiao Maha would not be able to support this winter even if he supported it, once the weather cooled down and the water froze, no one would be able to stop the Northern Zhou Iron Cavalry from going south, and Xiao Maha could only choose to retreat at that time.

Li Xinchen was not naïve enough to think that a fortress like Xiangyang, which the enemy had painstakingly managed for many years, could be taken down in just one year, especially since the enemy was still constantly exerting pressure on Suizhou and other places, so that Xiao Maha had no way to concentrate on dealing with the defenders of Xiangyang.

Of course, the battle situation in Xiangyang has made some progress, at least Xiao Maha has surrounded Xiangyang and gained a strategic advantage. In Huaibei, Wu Mingche did not advance half a step at all, and the two sides had been tug-of-war along several cities on the north bank of Huaishui for several months.

Wu Mingche has obviously given up the desire to continue to make breakthroughs from this sad place - or what Huaibei can become, Wu Mingche already has a certain number in his heart before he takes command of the expedition, and he may not be better than Wu Mingche in his understanding of Huainan and Huaibei.

Therefore, these years of dealing with Wang Rail, no matter how you look at it, it seems that Wu Mingche is dealing with Chen Ji's request, at least now he can give Chen Ji an errand.

In other words, in a short period of time, the battle situation between Xiangyang and Lianghuai unexpectedly fell into a stalemate.

When Li Xinchen arranged the battle in Bashu in an orderly manner, the situation in the world became more and more unclear.
