Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "But Wei Chi Yuan can also imagine that there is far more than this trap prepared for him, how long will it take him from one trap to another?" And when the time comes, it will be even more difficult for him to contact Wei Xiaokuan, so it is better to stay here honestly. ”

"But ······" Cao Zhong wanted to say something, but Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to stop him.

Smiling, Li Xinchen explained directly: "For Wei Chi Yuan, instead of losing his troops and going to join Wei Xiaokuan in embarrassment, why can't he just wait here?" Maybe the first method will take longer than the second, and he has no need to waste such effort and energy. ”

Stretching out his hand and lighting the sparse bonfire in the valley, Li Xinchen then said: "What's more, for Wei Chi Yuan and these soldiers and horses, where can they still walk? Don't forget, they're no less tired these days than we are. In the midst of this heavy snowfall, Mt. Rice Cang is not so easy to walk, especially when you are hungry. ”

Cao Zhong and Du Qi glanced at each other, and both bowed slightly.

This is true, if it were not for the scouts to explore the way ahead, they would never have been able to get here in front of Wei Chi Yuan.

Therefore, Wei Chi Hui didn't want to break through Li Xinchen's trap, and then jumped into another trap.

"Wei Chi Yuan is sitting steadily, but we have to move." Li Xinchen glanced at the bonfire in the valley, he wasn't sure where Yu Chi Hui was, but he was very interested, what Yu Chi Yu was thinking about at this time.

According to Li Xinchen's previous plan, he led the main force to fight with Wei Chi Hui in this Micang Mountain, and did his best to weaken Wei Chi Chen's vital strength, and the appearance of Li Xinchen's banner will definitely attract the attention of the Northern Zhou army, so as to lure Wei Xiaokuan to also deploy troops in the direction of Micang Mountain.

In this way, Li Xinchen can drag the battlefield away from Shu County as much as possible, he doesn't want the existence of Wei Xiaokuan's main force to interfere with the offensive in Mianzhu Pass and Shu County, after all, Li Xinchen also knows that the situation faced by Pei Zilie and Chen Zhishen is also urgent, and if he wants to win in this whole overall situation, he must do everything to relieve their pressure.

"Are we going back to the army?" Duzzy asked in a low voice.

Cao Zhong pondered and said: "The general does not intend to defend Panlong County, and directly builds a defense line on the front line of Tiangong Courtyard, so that if we retreat from Micang Mountain, the only place that can be defended is the first line of Tiangong Courtyard Mountain······ Isn't that risky? ”

Li Xinchen did not plan to defend Panlong County, I have to say that Li Xinchen still has some ability to defend the city, but such skills are established when Li Xinchen's soldiers, horses, grain and grass are enough. Now after so many days of fierce fighting, it is difficult for the grain and grass under Li Xinchen's command to be transferred to the city of Panlong County in time, and it is already good to be able to reach the first line of Tiangongyuan Mountain through the mountain road.

What's more, Panlong County is not strong, its military importance lies in guarding the core area of Langzhong, and Li Xinchen took Panlong County City more to pay more attention to the equipment and grain and grass hoarded in the city, which were originally reserved for Wei Chiyuan.

Now that these things are in hand, Li Xinchen has no need to continue to stay in Panlong County. Obviously, a lonely city in the open land was really defended, and it was far less than a dangerous place like Tiangongyuan Mountain.

Especially if this lonely city is surrounded, Li Xinchen will have no place to run even if he wants to break through. And he had to consider another question, that is, with the strength of Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Yuan, would he encircle Panlong County without attacking at that time, and go directly south to Shishan County to cut off the back road of Pei Zilie's troops?

If this is the case, the entire Bashu war situation will completely collapse, and Li Xinchen's lone army will really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

What's more, when the Northern Zhou Dynasty guarded Langzhong, it was also the general Guo Liang who led the main force to be stationed in Tiangongyuan Mountain to face Li Xinchen, of course, Guo Liang's army was defeated, there were no soldiers and no generals in Panlong County, and Wei Chi Hui was blocked in Micang Mountain, so this Panlong County City naturally fell into the hands of Li Xinchen.

Therefore, when Li Xinchen directly gave up the county seat of Panlong and began to gradually transfer grain, grass and baggage to Tiangongyuan Mountain, including Xiao Shilian, everyone had no objection.

They don't have many troops now, and of course they can't fight this kind of war of attrition.

The county town of Panlong, which had lost its strategic significance, could at most provide a place for the Northern Zhou army to rest and transport grain and grass.

In order to cooperate with this strategy, Li Xinchen made preparations to go forward, and he wanted to try his best to drag Wei Chi Hui and even Wei Xiaokuan, so as to buy more time for Xiao Shilian, who was sitting in the rear to transfer materials.

But now it seems that Wei Chi Yu does not seem to cooperate with the work. Everyone fought with patience, and apparently the old general's patience was good.

Li Xinchen didn't know how much Wei Chi Yuan had seen through, but he knew that he couldn't come according to the original plan.

"Wei Chi Hui doesn't give face, and he can only make a dangerous move, otherwise we are still hesitating in this Micang Mountain, I'm afraid that Wei Xiaokuan will rush to the city of Panlong County, if Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan join forces to surround us again, this battle will not have to be fought," Li Xinchen said decisively, "Leave the scout as a suspicious soldier, and we are ready to retreat." ”

"No!" Cao Zhong and Du Qi hurriedly answered.

Since Wei Chi Yu didn't plan to attack, it was enough to leave more than a dozen scouts on guard. It's just that I don't know what kind of look Wei Chi Yuan will look like when he finds that there are far fewer people surrounding them than he expected?

"This time I miscalculated." Li Xinchen snorted, very dissatisfied. He seems to be a little angry that the whole battle situation is not going according to his own ideas.

And Cao Zhong and Du Qi subconsciously glanced at each other, both a little helpless.

His own generals used six or seven hundred people to block Wei Chi Yu in this valley and couldn't advance or retreat, and even counted Wei Chi Shun and Wei Xiaokuan and tens of thousands of Northern Zhou troops, and now it's just because of a little change in plan, or because of Wei Chi Hui's passive response to the battle, he called himself "miscalculated", so I don't know what this battle will look like to make Li Xinchen happy?

"Wei Chi ······" Li Xinchen squinted slightly, "It's none of your business, I have long expected it or I am crooked, this time you are lucky." ”

"General, the news sent from Panlong County City, Wei Xiaokuan's troops have arrived in Cangxi Valley, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach the city within two or three days, and Wei Chi Shun's troops have left Cangxi Valley and are coming to Micang Mountain, General Xiao asks the general to judge the battle situation as soon as possible." A scout hurried over and handed over Xiao Shilian's battle report.

Li Xinchen nodded: "Wei Chishun also realized that something was wrong, and he came really fast, so this time he really can't go." ”
