Pei Zilie has always been a calm and uninhibited character, but now he even knows how to ridicule, which shows that his mood is really good.

And Pei Zilie's mood is not the mood of Li Xinchen and others present?

Now they are standing in this city thousands of miles away from Jiankang Mansion, far away from the real Heavenly High Emperor, no matter where they look, it will be the direction they can attack and conquer at will. This kind of pleasure without imprisonment and restraint can be compared with Jiankang Mansion and Gangneung at the beginning?

Pei Zilie walked quickly into the council hall, in fact, he had been waiting impatiently for the order to enter Shu in the past few months. After all, Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian were invincible in Ba County, and he could only stare at Jiangling City.

The more important problem is that because Li Xinchen's progress in Bashu is too fast, Wei Chi Yuan, who originally gathered heavy troops to prepare to attack Jiangling, simply collected his troops and retreated, obviously not planning to entangle with Xiao Maha and them too much.

After all, Nan Chen lined up Ren Zhong, Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang in Jingzhou, especially Ren Zhong and Chun Yuliang, who had been famous for many years, even if they couldn't stop Wei Chi Yuan, it was more than enough to entangle him if they wanted.

Once Wei Chi Yu falls into the battlefield of Gangneung, then he will face the enemy who may retreat at any time, and he must take Gangneung to be considered a gain. And by the time Wei Chi Hui walked to the foot of Jiangling City step by step, maybe Li Xinchen had already pocketed the entire Bashu, and when the time came, not only Jiangling, but even Xiangyang would be in the downstream of Li Xinchen, and he could launch a new attack at any time to completely cut off the connection between Wei Chi and the north.

Therefore, Wei Chi Hui will definitely not attack Jiangling stupidly, but will seek to counterattack Bashu instead. Therefore, if the situation has developed into what it is now, and the fundamental reason why Pei Zilie has been sitting on the cold bench in Jiangling for so long, is that Li Xinchen's movements are too fast.

Of course, Li Xinchen only took Ba County, and it will take a while for him to completely digest and absorb Ba County. However, during this period of time, it did not prevent Li Xinchen from making a move on the next target.

Li Xinchen pulled Pei Zilie and walked into the meeting hall quickly: "Come, a good thing that was only completed yesterday, even Boqing hasn't seen it yet, today Tuas you are here, just let the two of you come together to refer to the details." ”

In the middle of the council hall is also placed a large plate, and the plate is piled up with sand to make the shape of high and low, between these high and low sand dunes are marked with the name of the Bashu town, a closer study will find that the shape of these sand dunes is not much different from the shape of the Bashu mountains.

A somewhat nondescript sand table was presented in front of Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie's eyes. Both of them are people who have experienced the battle formation, and they can already understand the key to this after just a few glances, and they can see each other's surprise between eye contact.

Xiao Shilian couldn't help but sigh in admiration: "I didn't expect that Shizhong, you and Master Ouyang had been tinkering with it for several days, and they would come up with such a good thing." ”

They know very well that fighting in Bashu is far less than fighting in Jinghu or Jiangnan, and Jiangnan and Jinghu are more water town plains, so just an ordinary map is enough to deal with. However, Bashu is different, with mountains of different heights and rivers swirling and agitating in the mountains, which often means that the short distance marked on the map takes a long time to complete.

Now that they have such a three-dimensional sand table, they can naturally analyze the current battle situation in Bashu more easily.

Li Xinchen didn't say much, stretched out his hand and nodded directly on the sand table: "The main problem we are facing now is here, Hezhou on one side, Luzhou on the other, a certain has ordered Cao Zhongtun to fight in Gele Mountain, and Chen Zhishen is even with soldiers and horses on the top of Hejiang." ”

"Hejiang has entered the territory of Luzhou, Shizhong, do you want to fight Luzhou?" Pei Zilie pondered and said, Li Xinchen's arrangement, while attacking and defending, the situation is naturally obvious.

However, Li Xinchen shook his head: "No, to be precise, it should be fought on both sides, you see, whether you attack Luzhou or Hezhou, it means that our army's battle line will be stretched, and then the flanks may be exposed to the danger of the enemy's front at any time, so I want to take down all the two places in one go." ”

"Won't that be difficult?" Pei Zilie couldn't help frowning, Li Xinchen doesn't have many soldiers and horses now, plus Hezhou and Luzhou are both fortified cities in Bashu - not to mention that every city in Bashu is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is easy to take down a city, but it is difficult to divide troops at the same time.

Li Xinchen said in a deep voice: "It's certain that there is difficulty, otherwise it would be impossible to call the priest over." ”

Pei Zilie bowed slightly, and Xiao Shilian also said with a straight face: "This is true, but as Shizhong said, it is impossible for us not to fight, and it is the easiest way to open the bow on both sides." Starting from the attack on Ba County, fighting the White Emperor City, fighting the three counties of Linjiang, and then fighting Ba County, who would have thought that we would really be able to get to this point at the beginning, so according to a certain point of view, this battle of Bashu was an unexpected! ”

Regarding Xiao Shilian's words, Pei Zilie was noncommittal, just reached out and held his chin to carefully look at the situation on the sand table, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "Shizhong, when are you going to do it, next spring?" ”

Li Xinchen shook his head: "Seven days, or ten days, anyway, it's in the near future." As long as it doesn't snow, so-and-so dares to attack. ”

Raising his eyebrows, Pei Zilie was a little surprised: "Is it too hasty?" ”

Li Xinchen smiled bitterly: "By the beginning of spring next year, two or three months have passed, and we still have so much time?" Tuas, come and see, Hezhou and Luzhou are one to hold the upper reaches of the Han River, and the other is to guard the upper reaches of the Great River, which are both to control the lifeline of Ba County, so a certain must not let these two places continue to be in the hands of the Northern Zhou, otherwise I am afraid that when the time comes, it will not be a certain attack on these two cities, but the enemy will come out from these two places to deal with a certain one. ”

Pei Zilie bowed slightly, he knew what Li Xinchen was worried about. After all, it is impossible for the enemy army in Guanzhong in the north and Xiangyang in the northeast to watch the entire Bashu easily fall into the hands of Li Xinchen, and wait until the spring of next year, I am afraid that the Northern Zhou will attack first.

Exhaling lightly, Pei Zilie turned his head straight to look at Li Xinchen: "Shizhong, you say, how can we fight this battle?" ”

Li Xinchen responded, he knew that Pei Zilie had agreed to his plan: "Needless to say, Boqing, now that Chen Zhishen is already in Hejiang, you are also ready to leave, I can give you a month, and I will see that Luzhou has been conquered before the year." ”

"That's fine." Xiao Shilian nodded hurriedly. With Chen Zhishen's soldiers and horses in his hands and the assistance of the sailor, he is still very confident.
