On the mountain, Xiao Maha watched the battle on the water expressionlessly.

Since the beginning of the Xiangyang War, Xiao Maha set up his big tent in Da Xian Mountain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Xiangyang City is in front of it, and on one side is Shuishui, and at the same time can overlook Fancheng, which is the best place to master the entire battlefield.

If it weren't for the lack of troops and the fear that Xiao Maha would cut off the connection between the defenders and the city, Wei Chidun, who was guarding Xiangyang, would definitely not have surrendered such a strategic place so easily.

"It's already so lively in the west, but there's still no movement in the north?" Chun Yu Liang climbed the stairs with a worried look.

Xiao Maha shook his head: "The Zhou people have not sent any reinforcements to Bashu, and the Huaibei front line is also blindly defending, and our sentinels have not found out that the Zhou people want to continue to increase troops to the north, which means that even if the enemy's main army has not yet appeared, it will fall on us nine times out of ten." ”

"The Turks were frightened by Yuwen Yong and migrated northward, and it is unlikely that they will go south again for a while and a half, and the enemy's worries are naturally not in the north," Chun Yu said carefully, "Bashu has Wei Chi Yu and Wei Xiaokuan, and they already look up to Li Shizhong, not to mention that you and I know the terrain of Bashu, and it is not a good thing to blindly increase the number of troops, the best thing for the Zhou people is the cavalry after all, and Bashu is the most difficult place for the cavalry to deploy, and it will definitely not increase the number of troops in Bashu." ”

"Lianghuai is a place where the north and south have been tugging for hundreds of years, the defense line is strong, the city is high and the pool is deep, the last time the army of the whole country was defeated in Luliang, this time it is not easy to open a gap." Xiao Maha then said that he knew the gap between Chun Yuliang and Wu Mingche, so he helped Chun Yuliang to say what he wanted to say but couldn't say.

said that Wu Mingche had no strength, of course, it couldn't come out of Chun Yuliang's mouth, but it was Xiao Maha, Wu Mingche, who expounded the facts with one hand.

Chun Yuliang bowed his head slightly: "In this way, only this Xiangyang is left." That's why you are so anxious to cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng. ”

Xiao Maha smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from the old general." ”

Chun Yuliang also smiled: "This person is only generation after generation, and they are all old bones, that is, these eyes can still see a little more clearly." ”

After a pause, Chun Yuliang sighed with emotion: "If it weren't for Li Shizhong dragging the two old guys Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan on the side of Bashu, this battle would really not be so easy." ”

In this regard, Xiao Maha can only smile bitterly, now on the entire front, the most disparity between the forces of the two sides is the Bashu front, but it is also the Bashu front that is fighting. So thinking of this, Xiao Maha was also somewhat gloomy.

However, there is no light on his face, Xiao Maha will not be confused because of this, he knows very well what kind of responsibility he shoulders, he must be responsible for the army in front of him, after all, this is the only main force of Nan Chen.

But steady is steady, and in his bones Xiao Maha is naturally an adventurous person. So this battle was actually a risky move from the very beginning.

Xiao Maha was not in a hurry to attack Xiangyang, but pushed the main force to the north bank of the water, just to seize the enemy's main force to attack Fancheng as much as possible before the main force of the enemy arrived to support.

As for cutting off the connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng now, Xiao Maha is also calculating that time should be running out, so he must prepare for the next step, so what he needs to do most now is naturally to cut off the water connection between Xiangyang and Fancheng, and completely turn Xiangyang City into a lonely city on the south bank of the water.

In this way, before the cold weather closes the river next winter, Xiao Maha will have nearly a year to attack Xiangyang, and it is difficult to say whether the isolated defenders can support it until that time.

"General Qiyu, a great victory in Shu County!" A herald rushed to the top of the hill in three steps and two steps, a battle report in his hand, his voice already trembling.

And Xiao Maha looked at him in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

"Shu County Victory!" The herald excitedly handed over the battle report in his hand.

Chun Yuliang also showed an unbelievable look on his face at this time, for them, with Li Xinchen's completely disadvantaged troops, being able to hold several important passes and drag Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan is actually very powerful, at least from the perspective of the entire battle line, Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui, the two generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, have been very powerful in supporting the battle in the rest of the directions.

In other words, Chun Yuliang and Xiao Maha did not have the luxury of expecting Li Xinchen to really be able to conquer the city, and they were even mentally prepared for the defeat of Bajun and Li Xinchen's retreat to Xiling - for this reason, there was also a sailor who specially went to Xiling to prepare to respond.

But now what was delivered to them was Bashu's good news, but it was beyond the expectations of the two. Xiao Maha took the lead in reaching out and taking it, this battle report was not sealed in an envelope with fire paint at all, but directly such a copied paper, generally this situation is only used for a big victory or defeat that there is no way to conceal, that is to say, the "great victory of Shu County" is certain, after all, this herald is not even clear about victory and defeat.

Just a cursory glance, Xiao Maha raised his eyebrows, and while handing the battle report to Chun Yuliang, he laughed and said: "Take Shu County, Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi are in the middle of the army, and they can't advance or retreat." Well played, well played! ”

"Really took Shu County down ······" Chun Yuliang also has a dreamlike feeling at this time.

Xiao Maha shook his fist fiercely, but he didn't expect that the first to open the situation on the last three fronts was Bashu. Li Xinchen took Shu County, and the battle situation in Bashu has undergone earth-shaking changes.

And for the current Xiangyang battle situation, Li Xinchen took Shu County, which has already formed pressure on Hanzhong, even if Li Xinchen does not have the ability to attack Hanzhong for a while, it is impossible for the enemy to go to the Xiangyang battlefield through Hanzhong, which means that the threat that Xiao Maha needs to face now is only the north.

Chun Yuliang slowly put down the battle report, and compared to Xiao Maha, who obviously had a happy look, he had more worries. Xiao Maha's son Xiao Shilian is in Li Xinchen's army, and the benefits of Xiao Shilian are indispensable in this battle, and naturally the benefits of the Xiao family are indispensable, so Xiao Maha has nothing to worry about.

But if you are pure in quantity, you have to weigh the weight of this big war. Li Xinchen generally took down Ba County and Shu County one after another, and even was able to fight with Wei Chi Yuan and Wei Xiaokuan with his inferior troops, and the talent he showed was self-evident.

It is conceivable that the next Nanchen Dynasty will inevitably not be as uniform as the previous suppression of Li Xinchen, and there will be more and more people who will begin to weigh the future of this Great Chen.

A rising star, a dying old emperor······
