Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian exchanged glances.

This is indeed a major problem that has long plagued the Han Dynasty, and the main dividing line between the Han and the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the direction of Xiangyang is the water.

Nanxiang, Huzhou and other places on the north bank of the river are under the control of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which makes the transportation of the Han in the direction of Xiangyang and the coming and going of personnel, on the side close to Xiangyang, are actually the land routes of Zhuanfang Ling and other places, after all, if you travel on the waterway, once you cross the middle boundary of the water, you are likely to be harassed by the sentinels of the Zhou people on the north bank.

If you can take Nanxiang and other places, the defense line on the north side of Suizhou can be directly advanced to the north to Nanyang City, and the defense line in Shuishui can cross the water to reach Danshui, so that whether it is from Hanzhong to Xiangyang or from Xiangyang directly to Jiangnan, there are more guarantees.

More importantly, the current battle lines of the Han and the Northern Zhou are staggered, which is obviously not conducive to the large-scale march and transfer of the corps, so whether it is for the Han or the Northern Zhou, maintaining the staggered situation is conducive to defense, and straightening the front is conducive to attack.

At least now the Great Han should be on the attacking side, so straightening the front line can achieve the purpose of preparing for a large-scale northward movement in the future.

Luo Yi couldn't help but said curiously: "We are dealing with the Turks in the north with the Zhou people at this time, even if the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, at least it is a chicken and a dog, if we suddenly attack the defense line of the Zhou people in the rear like this, will it cause chaos in the northwest war situation?" ”

Obviously, Li Xun and Xiao Shilian also had the same worries, and looked at Yang Su together, and this reaction also made Li Xinchen smile and chin his head, at least it shows that the generals under his command have gradually matured and can take one step at a time. Now the general trend of the whole world affects the whole body, if there is no reason to act rashly, it is very likely to indirectly affect the situation in the rest of the directions, especially Xiangyang, which is not very far from the northwest, and it is adjacent to Yang Jian, which is now nominally the orthodox Northern Zhou court.

Yang Su obviously knew in his heart: "We are now directly leveling this front, which naturally does not need to say much about the benefits to us, and it is also testing Yang Jian, so that Yang Jian knows our existence, so naturally we can't act rashly in the northwest." What's more, Yang Jian's army is now in the north, once we break through Nanxiang, the soldiers can already point directly at Wuguan, knocking on the pass is Guanzhong, Yang Jian can't not be in a hurry, what do you think is Yang Jian's best choice in this situation? ”

"I'm afraid I want to lead the army directly south?" Luo Yi frowned, "If that's the case, it's not a good thing for our northwest situation or even the entire Xiangyang battle situation." ”

Li Xun, who had been in the middle and upper echelons of the Northern Zhou Army for a longer time, shook his head: "With a certain understanding of Yang Jian, this person is good at defending and likes to win in stability, at this time leading the army south, the road is difficult, the morale is not high, and at the risk of being outflanked by the Turks, at the same time, we just take Nanxiang and do not make a gesture of attacking Wuguan, then at least tell Yang Jian that we may not want to attack Guanzhong, not to mention that our intentions are not difficult to detect······"

Yang Su said with a smile: "That's right, in this case, Yang Jian will choose to seek stability more and directly send people to negotiate with us, even at the cost of directly recognizing Nanxiang and other places as us, but also in exchange for peace on the southern front." But then again, his army ······"

Xiao Shilian nodded, obviously understanding the trick: "So his army must find a new target to vent, and it is very likely that he will directly pursue and kill the Turks, and simply finish the battle, which is good or bad for the situation in our northwest." ”

"Yang Jian won't be so cheap for us." Li Xinchen interrupted the increasingly excited discussion of the generals at this time.

And Yang Su, Li Xun and the others, who still know Yang Jian very well, subconsciously glanced at each other, and they all bowed slightly, Yang Jian can be regarded as a recognized hero in the world, if he still can't figure out who the main threat and opponent is, it will be a little naïve, but what kind of reaction will Yang Jian make at that time?

"We must be prepared for Yang Jian's mobilization of soldiers and horses, at least the soldiers and horses of the Tongguan and Lantian battalions to the south." Li Xinchen said lightly.

Although he knows that saying this will inevitably pour cold water on everyone, it is also very possible······ For Emperor Wen of Sui, Li Xinchen really didn't dare to take it lightly.

"I think that since we want to make arrangements for the Central Plains at this time, we can't just have this one thing to do." Yang Jian then said, "It should be a two-pronged or even multi-pronged approach. ”

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and knocked on the map: "How is the Taiwei Mansion preparing for the northern raiders?" ”

"What the minister said this time is the first part of the strategy formulated by the Taiwei Mansion, which divides and disintegrates the interior of the Zhou people through various methods." Yang Su Zhengse said, "It is the first step for us to take Nanxiang and other places, and then we must actively contact the Han families in the north such as the Lantian Yu clan and the Wenxi Pei clan to obtain their support, and also prevent Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian from getting more Han family talents, and even instigate the contradiction between Xianbei and the Han people. ”

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, the Xianbei restoration of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has been criticized since then, but he also knows that this is what the Northern Zhou had to do at that time, after all, in the early stage of the competition between the Northern Zhou and the Northern Qi, the Northern Zhou has been at a disadvantage, this is also because the Northern Zhou did not occupy Bashu at that time, and it is a little naïve to want to fight with the Northern Qi who occupied the entire Hebei by virtue of a corner of Guanzhong, and this makes the Yuwen family, which is in power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, have to cite a large number of Han talents. At the same time, it strengthened the rule within the Xianbei aristocracy.

In order to make these Xianbei families with centrifugal tendencies and the Han families who were already unstable be able to strengthen their sense of identity with the imperial court, Yuwen also had to come up with a method of Xianbei, turning everyone, whether Xianbei or Han, into Xianbei people, and re-determining the ruling position according to the new surname, and at the same time, Yuwen himself is also a Xianbei Xiongnu, which can also eliminate the contradiction between the original Xianbei and Yuwen Xianbei Huns and enhance the sense of identity.

In fact, it was not only the Northern Zhou that had the same idea, the Northern Qi also adopted the corresponding Xianbei policy, but it was not as thorough as the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the internal contradictions within the Northern Qi were very acute for a long time. The emperor's incompetence has made this contradiction not effectively resolved for a long time, which naturally makes the implementation of many policies very difficult.
