Chapter 1002: Contingency

When the news came, the civil and military officials of the Shu Han Dynasty who were resting and arranging Jingnan affairs in Xiangzhou were almost relieved.

Many of these officials were born in Nan Chen, and for them, Chen Ji almost meant "invincible", and if it weren't for Chen Ji's old age and gradual disappearance from view, it would be difficult for them to muster up the courage to directly confront Chen Ji.

And even for the rest of the people, Chen Ji also means the best among the previous generation, Yu Wenyong in the north is dead, and only Chen Ji is left who can represent the heroes of the previous generation, and now that Chen Ji is dead, I am afraid that no one in the South Chen country can have enough mind and wrist to clean up this broken mountains and rivers.

In the eyes of many people, the only one who can really fight against Li Xinchen is Chen Ji. And after Chen Ji left, who in Nanchen is still Li Xinchen's opponent?

Li Xinchen is already unstoppable.

Chen Ji's departure, courtiers such as Gu Yewang and others who were born in Nanchen were of course shaking their heads and sighing with a little ease, while courtiers like Tang Zhengliang, who were not born in Nanchen, couldn't wait to go directly to the street to celebrate.

Li Xinchen was not as happy as his courtiers, because he knew very well what happened to Nan Chen next in history.

In front of Chen Ji's coffin, Chen Shuling, who did not get the crown prince from Chen Ji in the end, directly raised his sword to chase Chen Shubao, and Chen Shujian stepped forward to block Chen Shuling, Chen Shuling failed to assassinate, turned around and fled, returned to the mansion and wanted to make a comeback with the dead, but was defeated by Xiao Maha who mobilized the forbidden army, and fell short.

But the current history has been changed beyond recognition by Li Xinchen, Xiao Maha is not in the capital, and even Chen Shujian has just set off from Ganzhou to mourn, what direction will history think about evolving, could it be that Chen Shuling can really sit on the throne?

All this, Li Xinchen found that he was now completely unable to grasp.

"Anyway, if the Chen Dynasty is in turmoil, it will also be an excellent opportunity for His Highness," Gu Yewang only arrived today, after all, he was old, and the old man couldn't stand the long-distance travel fatigue, and he came with Xinzhou Assassin Shi Lu Zhongsu, "Especially Your Highness can take this opportunity to clean up the territory we have already occupied, and at the same time, you can start to test the area around Ganzhou." The Emperor's ยทยทยทยทยทยท As soon as Chen Ji is gone, people's minds will change, and we must hurry up. โ€

Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "I'm afraid this matter will have to bother Gu Gong." โ€

"It is incumbent upon me to serve His Highness." Gu Yewang agreed without hesitation, originally he thought that he had reached the age of returning to his hometown, but this time going down to Jiangnan obviously aroused his ambition again.

The Gu family of Wu County can also be regarded as a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the family still had a lot of complaints about Gu Yewang's direct fall to Li Xinchen, and now Gu Yewang is waiting for the army to sweep through Wu County, come to a hometown in fine clothes, and tell them what is right.

In fact, Gu Yewang's mentality is not the mentality of the rest of the people. Originally, in the eyes of many people, it was impossible for Shu Han to swallow Nan Chen in one bite, he could only come step by step, and now it was already good to be able to advance the front to Xiangzhou, and if he continued to move forward, he would inevitably encounter more fierce resistance from Nan Chen.

A hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen.

At that time, if there is really a war of attrition, the newly established Shu Han will not necessarily be Nan Chen's opponent. This is also for why Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian in the north still have the infighting that they don't care about it, because in their opinion, Li Xinchen and Nan Chen will sooner or later evolve into what they are now, and it is not a bad thing for them to fall into civil strife in the south, and everyone will have more opportunities after the world is divided.

But now it's different, Chen Ji died, Chen Shubao, Chen Shuling and others, who were already full of contradictions, are already good if they don't mess around, for Li Xinchen, naturally they can't stop in Xiangzhou anymore, and they must take advantage of the turmoil in the Southern Chen Dynasty to swallow Nan Chen in one bite.

When Li Xinchen sits on Jiangnan, Jingzhou and Bashu, there will be no one in the world who can be his opponent.

So now, even an old man like Gu Yewang feels full of energy, and he is getting closer and closer to Li Xinchen's goal of dominating the world, not to mention the young people below.

"Order Pei Zilie to take Gangneung within this month; Ordered Xiao Shilian to advance to Yanguan within ten days! Li Xinchen said decisively, "The matter of the stability of Jingnan will be handed over to the Lu Qing family, and the Lu Qing family will be promoted to the history of Jingzhou." โ€

Lu Zhongsu was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and gave up his hand.

And Li Xinchen turned to look at Cheng Feng: "The military situation in Ganzhou, be sure to spy clearly, you are personally responsible, there must be no mistakes!" โ€

The intelligence spy in the army was originally responsible for scouts, but now Li Xinchen actually let Yulinqi go into battle in person, and Cheng Feng did not dare to slack off, indicating that Li Xinchen was determined to launch an attack on Ganzhou in the near future.

"The rest of the secretaries have their own duties." Li Xinchen got up.

"No!"

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”-

suddenly changed the original plan, and Li Xinchen was still a little apprehensive in his heart. After all, the newly formed army has only started training for a few days, and a large number of stone bullets and arrows have not been replenished in the previous battles, many of the ships of the naval division are still being repaired, and more importantly, Pei Zilie has not yet taken Jiangling.

Of course, Li Xinchen knew that Pei Zilie was not to blame, Jiangling City was strong, and Xiao Maha was determined to defend it, and there was not much difference in the strength of the two sides, so Pei Zilie could only besiege the city first, and then divide his troops to cooperate with Chun Yucen to attack Yingzhou, and drove away Chen Huiji, who had not many soldiers and horses.

Anyway, the current Jiangling is already a lonely city, but since Li Xinchen wants to coordinate the army to go to the south of the Yangtze River, any soldier is a force that cannot be ignored, of course Li Xinchen can't leave Pei Zilie's main force behind, let alone allow Jiangling to be embedded in the heart of the heart behind him.

You must know that the south of Jiangling City is the big river, and now the big river is completely the lifeline of Li Xinchen's army, once the river is cut off, then the army under Li Xinchen will not be able to advance or retreat.

As for Xiao Shilian's side, Yanguan is the throat road from Jingnan to Lingnan, if he can break through Yanguan and go straight to Lingnan, then it is equivalent to directly capturing Nanchen's Longxing land, and it is also equivalent to locking Nanchen's last line of retreat.

While pondering whether he should continue to send more troops to Xiao Shilian, Li Xinchen walked through the corridor, the night was already dark, because of Chen Xu's death, Li Xinchen also went around all day, mainly discussing countermeasures with Gu Yewang and them.

Of course, the morale of the army is fluctuating, and there are many voices in the army asking for war, and Li Xinchen also has to appease him. What surprised Li Xinchen even more was that some craftsmen and merchants who accompanied the army were also asking for war. These craftsmen were mainly responsible for the use and maintenance of various equipment in the army, while the merchants were responsible for transporting grain and grass.
