Chapter 1232 Chicken Soup
When Li Xinchen left, he didn't say anything in a hurry, and he didn't have such a condescending gaze, but now that time has passed, Li Xinchen is no longer the fledgling hairy boy he was at the beginning, and his view of the current situation is naturally completely different from before.
More importantly, of course, the situation is already upside down compared to a few years ago.
After taking a walk untruthfully, Li Xinchen couldn't be sure that the current Huainan was the same as the Huainan in his original memory, let alone Huaibei.
What's more, the Lianghuai defense line is Li Xinchen's greatest concern in any case, not only because of personal reasons, but also because of the political factors of the Lianghuai defense line. If you really want to talk about the difficulty of the attack, Hanzhong, which is already approaching Sanfu, and Nanyang, which is directly reaching the Central Plains, are obviously the best choices, compared to Lianghuai, which can only launch an attack across hundreds of miles of barren land and the enemy's defense line is quite balanced, should be considered last.
But war itself is an extension of politics, and to put aside politics and simply discuss how to start a war is undoubtedly a hooligan. Therefore, it is impossible for Li Xinchen not to consider the important political significance once he breaks through the Huaibei defensive line.
First, breaking the Lianghuai defense line that had plagued the Southern Dynasties for hundreds of years was naturally a matter of boosting the morale of the people, and it had an immeasurable effect on Li Xinchen's consolidation of rule, and second, it could also hit the fighting spirit of the north, and naturally it also had a lot of benefits for the Northern Expedition.
So even if Huaibei is the most difficult road to take, Li Xinchen does not intend to give up, which is why he has firmly put Wu Huijue, who is most familiar with Huainan and Huai, on the Huainan defense line for so long.
Li Xinchen proposed to go to Zhongli, which made the Lu family's uncles and nephews also startled.
What kind of place is Zhongli, on the shore of Huaishui, the front line of the out-and-out front.
Although Li Xinchen can boost morale in this way, and also express his importance to Lianghuai, but it is inevitably dangerous, right?
"Your Majesty thinks twice, Zhongli is separated from Northern Xuzhou by a water, and the minister thinks that Your Majesty should not be so dangerous." Lu Zicai hurriedly said.
He can't be a stranger to this majesty, of course, he knows that once she makes a decision, no one can stop her, but in order to keep the princes in the court from making trouble for herself, Lu Zicai still has to make a strong attitude of persuasion.
In fact, for their courtiers in Huainan, His Majesty would pay more attention to them if he stayed for a while, so they naturally couldn't ask for it.
Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows: "Saibei Jiangnan, I have never been afraid, and I have not been to Zhongli, why can't I go?" Could it be that the army of Huainan of the Han Dynasty has been eroded and unbearable to fight?! β
Li Xinchen's voice was a little angry, and naturally he gave Lu Zicai a step down, and he hurriedly gave his hand: "The minister is worried about His Majesty's dragon body, and he is also worried that the enemy in the north will have bad intentions, so he has no other intentions." β
And Lu Zhiwu next to him said even more loudly: "Please rest assured that the Huainan army will obey Your Majesty's dispatch and will definitely ensure Your Majesty's safety." β
ββββββββββββββ---
Although Chen Shuling's palace has been divided into three parts, the rest of Li Xinchen's palace is still very large, especially the entire backyard is included in it.
Chen Shuling's women are not many compared to his brother who likes to be greedy and lustful, and after Chen Shuling's rebellion, they have all been exiled or charged into the sect department as the family members of the traitors, so the backyard has been empty for a long time.
What's more, in this backyard, there are not more hidden gold houses, but huge warehouses, and under almost every warehouse there is a huge space that can no longer be called a cellar, but should be called a dark room.
Chen Shuling's dead soldiers and a large number of blades and weapons prepared for rebellion are hidden in this warehouse on weekdays, of course, these warehouses have now been used to store the official documents of the imperial court and all kinds of books, but seeing with your own eyes that there can be such a blatant building in the palace, you can also understand why Chen Shuling is so high-flying.
The hundreds of dead soldiers and a large number of weapons and blades in the palace did give him arrogant capital, and in the end, if it wasn't for Chen Shuling who was really bold, or even impetuous, and actually started directly on Chen Shuling's hall, I am afraid that Chen Shubao wants to take down Chen Shuling, it is not so easy, and even if Chen Shuling can run back to Guangling County, even if he can rely on a lonely city here, it will be difficult to become a climate, as long as he can threaten the rear of the Huainan defense line, it is possible for Wang Liang to seize the opportunity to break through Huaishui in one fell swoop, And Chen Shuling may also become another pioneer of the Western Liang.
If this is the case, Nan Chen will not be able to hurt his vitality.
Although the night was deep, Li Xinchen was still holding a candle and looking at the picture hanging on the wall.
Most of the books and materials in Chen Shuling's mansion have been properly preserved, including this map of Lianghuai, even in Jiankang Mansion, I am afraid that such a detailed map cannot be found.
The sound of footsteps behind him sounded, and Shen Wuhua came over with a soup pot that was still steaming: "Your Majesty, take a rest, the slave maid stewed a pot of black chicken soup, it is a little cold here, and it will be cold after a while." β
"It's cold because it's a big place." Li Xinchen smiled, sat down and watched Shen Wuhua fill a bowl, hurriedly took it and sniffed it first, "It's so fragrant!" β
Shen Wuhua also looked around and said with emotion: "The size of this study is almost comparable to the imperial study, and it is far better than the East Palace, it is indeed large." β
"Chen Shuling's ill-intentioned heart is not unrelated to Chen Ji's indulgence." Li Xinchen said lightly, if Chen Ji could have been wary of his son in his early years, I am afraid that today, a Chen Shuling has almost destroyed half of Nan Chen's foundation.
"It tastes good," Li Xinchen drank the chicken soup three times and divided five by two, "You made it?" β
"Well," Shen Wuhua replied softly, "Your Majesty likes it." β
"You want to taste it too?" Li Xinchen reached out to give her a bowl of soup, and at the same time reached out and pulled off a chicken leg, the chicken leg of this black chicken has no meat, but Li Xinchen also ate it with relish, seeing Shen Wuhua stunned for a while, Li Xinchen reached out and ripped off the other one and handed it to her.
Shen Wuhua hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this black chicken Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· There's no need to eat the soup after itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"You taste it first, it tastes really good." Li Xinchen said with a smile, and then started to pull the chicken, "I was born in a reckless family, when I was a child, I hunted in the mountains for a living, if the harvest is small, there will be no meat to eat for a long time, and having meat to eat is already good." This chicken has been soaked in the soup for so long, and it has already tasted. β
Shen Wuhua took small bites, and then looked at Li Xinchen's elated eating, his hands were full of oil, he couldn't help laughing, and reached out to take out a handkerchief to wipe Li Xinchen, but he realized that this seemed a little ambiguous, and he didn't know what to do.
