Li Xinchen wasn't sure if or when the Turks would come, but he couldn't really take no precautions.

At least historically, Changsun Sheng was very successful against the Huns, and with the help of Cao Zhong and Hou Mi, Li Xinchen believed that at least Changsun Sheng could help him stabilize the northwest.

Yang Su's guess is not wrong, now Li Xinchen's center of gravity must begin to shift to the south, if Li Xinchen continues to tug of war with Yang Jian at this time, then it will only be Nan Chen and Yu Wenxian who will benefit, so let Yang Jian go to fight with Yu Wenxian, and Li Xinchen will take this opportunity to completely stabilize Jinghu and Jiangnan.

In any case, Jinghu Lake and Jiangnan are rare stable places in the world, and they are also the land of fish and rice. In particular, the 20 years of stability in Nanchen have actually completely changed the image of these places as barren mountains and barbaric lands. During the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in history, Yangzhou and other places have become rare prosperity in the world, otherwise Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty would not have been attracted by such prosperity to go to Yangzhou, and finally directly affected the demise of the Sui Dynasty.

Since he decided to go south, Li Xinchen will definitely not stay in the northwest for long, originally he planned to go south directly to Bashu, the northwest is actually just an episode, but at least calming down the northwest can be regarded as making Bashu more stable.

In this way, Li Xinchen has completely formed the strategic layout of the core of the four places in Nanzhong, Bazhou, Xiangyang, Hanzhong and Northwest China, and most of the barbarians in the territory have surrendered, and in addition to the need for overall revitalization of civil affairs, in fact, there are no internal and external troubles.

Thinking that not long ago, when he had just won Bashu, everything seemed so precarious, Li Xinchen felt a sense of relief and emotion.

"Remember, our current strength does not allow us to fight with the Turks at all, if we can't lead the water to the east, then hold the big city, and I don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place." Li Xinchen told Changsun Sheng again, "Without further ado, I am going to leave for the south now." ”

"Subordinates send off the general." Changsun Sheng immediately made a gesture of please.

————————————————-

The last heavy snow has almost melted, and the weather is slightly warmer, of course, as a latecomer, Li Xinchen still knows that this is mainly because of the heat absorption when the snow melts, so it makes people feel that the weather is colder, and now that the snow is melting, it naturally feels warm.

The snow melted and the road was dry, although it was still windy along the way, but it was much better than when I came. It only took Li Xinchen five days to return to Hanzhong from Anding, and the journey was non-stop.

And Xiao Shilian, who came back from Yangping Pass, was already waiting for him in Hanzhong, and at the same time, Li Xinchen also met Han Baohu, who had stayed in Yangping Pass before and had never met.

Although this famous general in history is forty years old at this time, in fact, the previous battle of Yangping Pass was the first time he led the army alone, and the rise of Han Baohu and He Ruobi and others in history was also because of Yang Jian's promotion, but unfortunately Yang Jian's time on the throne was too short, and it was too late to give these generals more opportunities for exercise and growth.

This is also why Han Baohu finally gritted his teeth and took refuge in Li Xinchen, his family is not a rich family, the family is counting on themselves to feed, if there is no way to make contributions in the Northern Zhou Army, it is better to change places. Especially the current national conditions of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are also in everyone's eyes.

Han Baohu in another time and space can also be regarded as a handsome man in his life, especially following Yang Guang's battle to destroy Nanchen, which made him reach the peak of his life, so he even has the title of "Yama" among the people.

At this time, Han Baohu was obviously not as high-spirited as Li Xinchen imagined, after all, no matter who it was, the first battle he personally commanded was a failure, and I am afraid it would be a big blow to anyone, but this also made Han Baohu look a little more stable.

Li Xinchen is still satisfied with this, Han Baohu is no longer a young man after all, he should know what to do, it is enough to be a traitor once in his life, Han Baohu's loyalty to Li Xinchen should be guaranteed. And Xiao Shilian sometimes follows his father, recklessly, and it is not a good thing to have such a steady person as Han Baohu by his side.

"Are we finally going to war with the court?" Xiao Shilian looked at the map in front of him, it was in Hanzhong at any time, but this map had already become Jinghu and Jiangnan, and Li Xinchen had no intention of hiding his strategic intentions.

"Not now," Li Xinchen immediately denied, "Bashu needs to recuperate after several battles." Jiangnan is hot, and spring and summer are not the time for war, and even if it does, it will have to wait until next autumn. ”

Xiao Shilian bowed slightly: "Where did they send troops from?" ”

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and nodded directly on the map: "At that time, the master will lead the troops out of Xiangyang, attack Yingzhou and then go down to Jiangzhou, and a certain will personally lead the sailors out of Kuimen to attack Jiangling, and if there is no mistake, Huaidong and Huaixi will also respond in groups, and finally attack Jiankang Mansion." ”

Xiao Shilian was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What about me?" ”

Han Baohu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Shilian. Xiao Shilian asked this question a little keenly. As we all know, the first opponent Li Xinchen wants to face in Izukawa is Xiao Maha, Xiao Maha, no matter what he says, is Xiao Shilian's father, and Li Xinchen will not do the cannibalism between father and son, so he naturally avoided Xiao Shilian in terms of strategic arrangement.

After all, Li Xinchen also had to leave someone to guard the important places in Hanzhong to avoid chaos in the north.

"Shizhong, you have already transferred Cao Zhong, Xu Deyan, Tang Zhengliang and others to the north, plus the eldest grandson Sheng in the northwest, as long as they don't take the initiative to make trouble, with the natural danger in Hanzhong, even if Yang Jian has great ability, he can't rush into Bashu, not to mention where does Yang Jian still have the strength to attack Bashu now? Why do you need me here? Xiao Shilian's voice was low, but he was obviously a little disappointed.

"In the face of the hussar general, can you do it?" Li Xinchen said lightly.

"I ······" Xiao Shilian's face showed a struggling look, and he was obviously very entangled in this question.

Nan Chen is already decaying, Xiao Shilian does not want to continue to serve such a dynasty, he wants to fight in the fresh and energetic group of Li Xinchen, there is no shortage of people among the founders of every era who have betrayed their original class background, because they can't get what they want in the original environment, so they don't accept in their hearts that they will be imprisoned in that class, and even do not hesitate to rely on their own understanding of this class to completely overthrow him.

But after all, now that Xiao Shilian wants to participate in this big war, the first enemy he needs to face is Xiao Maha. Since Xiao Shilian is going south, it means that Li Xinchen still needs to remove a weighty person to go north to guard Hanzhong, so that Li Xinchen will inevitably have fewer generals available in his hands, and it is completely impossible for a heavy general like Xiao Shilian to stand by and watch.
