"The fleet has already passed Baling, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Gangneung tomorrow." Xiao Shilian walked quickly into the lobby of Li Xinchen's mansion.

However, Li Xinchen was staring at the map hanging on the wall—this was borrowed from Xiao Maha's mansion—in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't even hear Xiao Shilian's words. And Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Li Xinchen, so that Li Xinchen came back to his senses.

"How?" Li Xinchen frowned.

Xiao Shilian slapped the express newspaper in his hand on the table quite dissatisfied: "Are you hysterical?" The prince's fleet has already arrived in Baling! ”

Li Xinchen smiled and said: "Why bother with such a big anger, isn't it inevitable to come, just come, we have already made all the preparations we should make, if we don't come, it will be difficult." ”

Xiao Shilian snorted: "You can see it." ”

And Li Xinchen said lightly: "Otherwise? ”

Despite saying this, Li Xinchen still picked up the express and glanced at it casually. It's really better to have more than one thing these days, and Li Xinchen doesn't have much expectation for this mission, the only thing that makes him look forward to it is that he can finally see his sister.

In any case, Li Li'er is Li Xinchen's only relative in this era.

Putting down the express newspaper casually, Li Xinchen's eyes immediately fell on the map. Rubbing his chin slightly, I don't know what I'm thinking.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Shilian asked in surprise, "You look at this picture now just like looking at your own lady, what is there to look at all day long." ”

Li Xinchen's voice was slightly low: "How can you not look at it, we have taken Jiangling City here, but we have only taken the first step, how we should go next, but there is no certainty at all." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Shilian raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "How else can I go, the soldiers will come to block it, the water will cover it, it doesn't matter what he does!" ”

Li Xinchen glanced at Xiao Shilian, this guy was very arrogant, and his life was comfortable. But such a day is not what Li Xinchen wants. He is not from a family, even if he can't do anything, he is still covered by the majesty of the family, so if he wants to go higher in this troubled world, he can only try his best to tear a crack.

And the arrival of the mission this time naturally gave him this opportunity, Chen Shubao was actually just a puppet who obeyed his words in Li Xinchen's eyes, the important thing was that Zhou Qu and Luo Ya and others who followed Chen Shubao, it was best for him to come up with a reliable strategy for these ministers who were really in charge after the mission arrived.

Regarding Nam Chen's next strategy for continuing to develop in this Gangneung area.

That Guangluqing Gu Yewang and the scattered cavalry Chang Servant Luoya, although Li Xinchen has not dealt with each other, but I heard that they are all upright people - otherwise they would not fall into these two idle positions, not to mention Zhou Cheng, the prince's concubine, so Li Xinchen doesn't have to worry about these people to suppress him, but he can let go of his hands and feet.

But where is this plan so easy, although Nan Chen has taken Jiangling, it is only a step forward, and it is not really out of the predicament completely. At this time, the Northern Zhou had already begun to gather heavy troops in Huaibei and Xiangyang, and they were desperately suppressing Nan Chen's road from Huainan or Jiangling to the north, and Wang Liang and Wei Chi Yuan, who were guarding these two places, were obviously unlikely to give Nan Chen another chance.

Then whether Nan Chen will fight to force an attack on Xiangyang or choose another way out has become another question, after the Battle of Gangneung, Nan Chen actually stood at another crossroads that was also likely to determine his future fate.

If the last time at the crossroads after the Battle of Luliang, Li Xinchen was still able to make a judgment based on his own historical experience, then now he is facing an era that has been changed beyond recognition by himself, how can he judge?

After all, in his previous life, he was just a little white-collar worker who was a waste of wood, with empty ambitions but never really had room to show his ambitions. Now that the burden of the survival of a large army or even a dynasty has suddenly been weighed down, even Li Xinchen has to hesitate and hesitate.

However, he also knows that if he wants to have more opportunities like this in the future, then this time the pressure must be endured, and there is no room to go wrong.

With Nan Chen's current national strength, it looks prosperous and vigorous, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just a bluff, Huainan that has not yet been fully digested and Nanyue, which is still gradually developing, are just a burden to Nan Chen, and Jiangnan, which has been ravaged by Hou Jing's army, has just recovered its vitality, and it is difficult to say whether the Jiangling that has just been swallowed is a new burden or a rare help.

At this time, Nan Chen can't withstand any failure, it's like a huge bubble, no matter how it expands, once it is punctured, there is only room for dissipation.

In the history of Nanchen, it was because of the defeat of the first battle of Lüliang that the whole country even almost collapsed, and in the end, it was Xiao Maha and Fan Yi who led the reinforcements to stabilize the battle line by the river, but there was no longer the ability to compete with the northern dynasty.

However, there are also things that make Li Xinchen happy. The current Nanchen still has enough troops, enough national strength, and there are still opportunities, although this opportunity is difficult to capture, but at least it is better than Nanchen after the Battle of Luliang in history.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people, Li Xinchen has won too many gambles, he doesn't know if he can have such a good fate next time, so even if he has a certain certainty, he has to think twice.

It's really difficult!

Li Xinchen's gaze gradually retreated from the north, he knew that the battle-hardened veteran Wei Chi Hui would definitely not give Nan Chen much more opportunities, and then Nan Chen's choice was actually only the last one.

Li Xinchen took a deep breath and gradually moved westward.

"Shizhong, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Shilian was obviously very dissatisfied with Li Xinchen's way of answering, and stepped forward to block Li Xinchen's sight and looked him in the eyes.

Before a complete plan was outlined, Li Xinchen didn't want to say more about the immature thoughts in his heart, and prevaricated with a smile at the moment: "I'm just thinking about what Wei Chi Yuan of Xiangyang is thinking." ”

Xiao Shilian pursed his lips, with the current strength of Wei Chi Yuan, there is no problem in sticking to Xiangyang, but it is not so easy to find fault, in his opinion, Li Xinchen is completely overwhelmed. However, he also knew in his heart that Wei Chi Hui was definitely an opponent worthy of respect, so Xiao Shilian did not say the disdain in his heart.

————————————-

Wuning County.

Since Fan Yi and Chun Yuliang each led their armies to retreat to the two cities of Zhangchuan and Zhangshan, the Northern Zhou army that launched a counterattack also accepted it when it was good, and still returned to its original camp, preparing for a fierce battle that would occur at any time.

As the backbone of the entire Xiangyang battlefield, Wei Chi Hui did not sit in Xiangyang, but took a team of personal guards to Wuning County after Fan Yi retired on the Western Front, and rushed to Wuning County at a gallop, which really surprised Wei Chishun, who was guarding Wuning County.
