The early morning mist lingered around Cangshan, and the mountain roads were covered with moss.

The leaves on both sides of the road are covered with morning dew and the sound of birds chirping, which is a beautiful scene of early spring.

At the beginning of March, Cangxi Valley shows amazing beauty.

If it weren't for the hustle and bustle of the woods, no one would have believed that this place was shrouded in the shadow of war.

Li Xinchen took a deep breath of the slightly humid fresh air in the valley, and I have to say that the air more than a thousand years ago did give people a different feeling. Du Qi, who led the way in front, looked at the intoxicated look on Li Xinchen's face in some surprise, a little inexplicable, just that the young general was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery around him.

"General, further on is the stockade." Duzi said with a smile.

As he spoke, at the corner of the narrow mountain road, a small cottage obscured by tall trees and difficult to notice directly appeared in front of him.

Cangxi Valley does not only refer to the large valley through which Cangxi flows, but also the surrounding mountains are within the scope of Cangxi Valley in a broad sense. Numerous streams run through these large and small mountain valleys, and the rugged roads make it impossible to reach many places by hand alone.

No matter how many soldiers and horses there are, it is impossible for the Northern Zhou Dynasty to take care of all aspects of the entire Cangxi Valley, and all they can do is ensure the safety around the main road of the Cangxi Valley. And in the depths of the mountains, it is still the world of the Ba people.

"How many people have come?" Li Xinchen looked at this small village, if it wasn't for Du Qi leading the way in front, he would never have thought that there was such a camp between the layers of forests, and the houses in the camp were covered with leaves as a cover, and even many houses were simply built directly on those tall trees.

Du Qi said solemnly: "The eight tribes of the Ba people have now made it clear that they support the general, except for the Nubu and Yi tribes who are far away, but the envoys have just arrived, and the rest of the troops have begun to gather troops in this Cangxi Valley, just waiting for the general to give orders. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, this is the situation he really wants, obviously the Ba Ren Eight Divisions still have doubts about whether Li Xinchen can take them to revenge and victory. Although Li Xinchen occupied Ba County, after all, there were not many troops in his hands, and no one knew whether Li Xinchen would be defeated in an instant. So even if they have an idea in their hearts, they have to weigh the difference in strength between Li Xinchen and Northern Zhou.

But now it's different, Li Xinchen took Shu County, proving that he has the ability to go back and completely open up the situation, and these Ba people naturally can't sit still. The people of Yu and Pu walked in front and had already proved their ability to Li Xinchen, and the remaining tribes naturally couldn't stop them with their self-efficacy.

Li Xinchen didn't expect these guys to be loyal to him from the beginning, after all, they also had clansmen behind them, and they also carried the future of the entire tribe on their shoulders, so they would inevitably hesitate.

But Li Xinchen believes in himself, and he will use the facts to tell these Ba people that following Li Xinchen's banner is the best choice for the Ba people now.

"Shizhong, do you really have faith?" Xiao Shilian took a step forward and asked in a low voice.

In the final analysis, these Ba people are not Han people, or even they have fought with Han people, so Xiao Shilian is somewhat worried.

Li Xinchen wants to mobilize the entire Ba people with his own strength, how can it be so easy? How many entanglements of interests need to be dealt with······

Li Xinchen's footsteps paused slightly, and he turned his head sideways and said, "If you don't have confidence, do you want to go home now?" ”

Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment: "Since you're here······"

"Isn't this enough, since you are here, there is no way out," Li Xinchen said lightly, and continued to move forward, "No matter how many people oppose it, just convince them." ”

Xiao Shilian was slightly stunned, then burst out laughing, and quickly followed Li Xinchen.

Du Qi was already standing at the top of the council hall at this time, and when he saw Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian walking up, he hurriedly waved his hand, and several figures came out of the council hall, which were the patriarchs of the various tribes of the Ba people and the messengers who came one step in advance.

These people in different clothes, old and young, looked at Du Qi's gaze with some curiosity, and when they saw the two young men climbing the stairs, their faces were somewhat surprised.

I had long heard that Dangkou General Li Xinchen and Fenwei General Xiao Shilian were two young people, but when they saw these two people with their own eyes, they realized how young each other was.

A ray of sunlight fell on Li Xinchen's body through the cracks in the branches, making him look shrouded in a faint light, and Li Xinchen raised his head slightly, just in time to meet these glances, and immediately showed a smile, warm as a spring breeze in March.

These Ba leaders who had been hiding in the mountains for too long subconsciously glanced at each other, obviously the young man in front of them who seemed to be full of sunshine had opened their hearts at this moment and won their absolute trust.

The gentle smile and vigorous posture undoubtedly told them that this person was the hope of the Ba tribe in the future.

"It's so young and dazzling······" A Ba leader muttered subconsciously.

Compared with Du Qi and Li Xun at the beginning, the Li Xinchen they see now is Li Xinchen after the victory in Shu County, when he defeated Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan, Li Xinchen already has the confidence that Du Qi and Li Xun have not seen before, so when he faces these Ba leaders, the confidence he shows is better than before.

"This is General Da Chen Dangkou, and this is General Fenwei." Du Qi smiled and made a gesture of introduction, "These are the patriarchs of the four tribes of Tho, Gong, Badger, and Shu, and the other two are the envoys of the Nu and Yi tribes, and they are also the elders of the clan, so they can speak on behalf of their own clan." ”

Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian hurriedly bowed their hands, and the leaders of the Ba people were also busy returning the salute.

Li Xun made a gesture of please: "General, please speak inside." ”

This is a small stronghold of the people in Cangxi Valley, and after Du Qi and Li Xun arrived, they operated more, and the map in this hall has outlined the topography of the mountains and rivers in Cangxi Valley in detail.

Li Xinchen paused under the map and looked at it: "So Wei Xiaokuan has begun to strengthen the defense of all parts of the road?" ”

There are some newly added markings on the map, indicating that Wei Xiaokuan is increasing troops on both sides of the main road in Cangxi Valley, as if he wants to completely monitor the area around the main road.

In the case that there is no way to solve the Ba people in the deep mountains, this is the best choice for Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Yuan. After all, only in this way can Wei Xiaokuan give full play to his military advantage.
