Outside the city of Xiangyang, Da Hyeon.

"What do you want to do?" Xiao Maha looked at the battle report sent by Li Xinchen from Bashu, and frowned.

Li Xinchen's actions in Bashu, Xiao Maha maintained a supportive and acquiescing attitude, after all, Li Xinchen is at least fighting under the banner of Nan Chen, at least Li Xinchen's spearhead is still against the Northern Zhou, the enemy of Nan Chen,

And Xiao Maha also knew in his heart that the Nanchen court and Chen Ji were unfavorable to Li Xinchen first, and Li Xinchen was already very loyal to Nanchen if he didn't directly beat him up, so naturally he couldn't have too many requirements. All Xiao Maha can do is to try his best to help Li Xinchen block the disdain and dissatisfaction from Jiankang Mansion, and at the same time do his best to help Li Xinchen gain a firm foothold in Bashu, at least to get through the battle in front of him.

It can be said that Li Xinchen has done a perfect job, at least to Xiao Maha's expectations. But the fact now is that Li Xinchen doesn't seem to plan to go to the end according to the path that everyone imagined, he wants to negotiate with Wei Xiaokuan, and he wants to use this method to get what can be solved through war.

In Xiao Maha's hands, although war is cruel, it is always the easiest solution to the problem. Li Xinchen proposed negotiations to the Northern Zhou at this time, although he did not harm the interests of Southern Chen at present, but he was also showing goodwill to the Northern Zhou.

Obviously, things that can be solved in one battle, Xiao Maha doesn't know what Li Xinchen is worried about and suspecting······ Of course, it may be said in another sentence that he knows Li Xinchen's worries, and he also knows that Li Xinchen's worries are definitely not groundless, but this is a reality that Xiao Maha does not want to accept after all.

At least in his opinion, the relationship between the imperial court and Li Xinchen is far from being out of control, and Li Xinchen's doing so is tantamount to pushing this relationship that originally had room for redemption into the abyss.

Xiao Maha has been a courtier all his life, and he has not experienced grievances and setbacks, in his opinion, the misunderstanding of the court is very normal, after all, no one can guarantee that His Majesty is not biased and biased, no one can be sure that there will be no villains in the court, and there is no way to guarantee that His Majesty will not make some wrong judgments after learning some one-sided situations.

But in Xiao Maha's view, these are what should be expected and endured as a courtier, the world is the world of the people, but also the world of His Majesty, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, sometimes it is inevitable that Your Majesty will do something out of the ordinary for the stability of the country and the inheritance of the country, as long as you can understand Your Majesty's painstaking efforts.

But now Li Xinchen is showing dissatisfaction with the imperial court, rebellion, and even compromise and goodwill towards the Northern Zhou Dynasty. For Nan Chen, if he continues like this, there will not be another independent general in the end, but an additional enemy who is even stronger and difficult to resist than Northern Zhou will come out.

Compared with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Xinchen is younger, and he also understands the shortcomings and shortcomings of Nan Chen, he knows what Nan Chen's army is like, and he knows more clearly that the entire court system of Nan Chen has actually accumulated a lot of difficulties.

Even Li Xinchen knew that Chen Shubao, the next generation monarch of Nan Chen, was destined to be a saintly monarch.

Li Xinchen knew too much, and if he stood on the opposite side of Nan Chen, and even reached a compromise with Northern Zhou with the help of this negotiation, then he would inevitably be Nan Chen's most difficult enemy to deal with in the future.

This is what Xiao Maha doesn't want to see, he can't imagine that he has fought all his life for Nan Chen, and in the end he has set up such a powerful enemy for Nan Chen. Of course, Xiao Maha knew that he couldn't be completely blamed for this, but he couldn't have a clear conscience.

Chun Yuliang walked quickly to Xiao Maha's side, obviously the news he had just received made the old general who seemed to have seen the battle situation in front of him a little uneasy. Seeing Xiao Maha standing alone on the top of Da Hyeon Mountain, Chun Yuliang knew that Xiao Maha must be worrying about the same thing as himself.

These days of coexistence have made the contradictions and estrangements between Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang almost disappear, at least Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang, the new and old generations of Southern Chen generals, have reached an agreement on the strategy and tactics of dealing with the Northern Zhou.

Nan Chen wants to go further, and Xiangyang and Huaibei are already impossible. On the north shore of the water, there are enemy iron horsemen wandering back and forth. And Huaibei is not to mention, now it is even more impregnable, even Wu Mingche, a person who knows the Huaibei war situation well, can only lead the army to rush up, and there is only one possibility of hitting the head and bleeding.

Therefore, Bashu is the most difficult place for Nanchen to reach, but it is also the best breakthrough point, and Li Xinchen is undoubtedly the most correct choice, and since the first war of Bashu, Li Xinchen has proved that he has this qualification and ability with his strength.

According to this development, the Nanchen army can eventually go out of Xiangyang and Bashu at the same time, seize Hanzhong, and enter Guanzhong. In the final analysis, this is still the plan that Zhuge Liang originally formulated for Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, but compared to Liu Bei at that time, important places such as Jiangnan and Huainan were also in the hands of Nan Chen, so there was no need to worry about whether the enemy would outflank him.

It's just a pity that the current situation has made Xiao Maha and Chun Yuliang realize that their thoughts are a little too naïve and simple. Obviously, Li Xinchen is not as loyal as they imagined, and the imperial court has not recognized the meaning of the battle of Bashu until now, and it is conceivable that he is dissatisfied.

Xiao Maha said in a deep voice: "There is no movement in the imperial court now, Shizhong is expressing his dissatisfaction." ”

"It would be nice if it was just like this," Chun Yuliang couldn't help but whisper, "The old man is worried now that Li Shizhong is not even just expressing dissatisfaction······

Xiao Maha glanced at Chun Yuliang, although this old fox only said half of the words, but it was also to the point, Xiao Maha understood what he meant.

Li Xinchen took the initiative to negotiate with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and also passed the news in the form of a public war report, indicating that Li Xinchen no longer put the imperial court in his eyes, after all, the lord of one side is not qualified to directly negotiate with the enemy without the consent of the imperial court, even if it is really sudden, he should first make initial contact with the enemy and wait for the imperial envoy, instead of looking like Li Xinchen is in charge of everything now.

Originally, this was a lawsuit that should be fought between the two courts, not as it is now, Li Xinchen and Wei Xiaokuan directly decided.

Li Xinchen is very flamboyant in doing this, and if he simply expresses his dissatisfaction, he doesn't need such an extreme way at all. This shows that Li Xinchen is very anxious to solve other things, and what can make Li Xinchen like this is probably only the contradiction between him and the Nanchen court, or to be precise, between him and Nanchen's emperor Chen Ji.

Li Xinchen didn't mind making this contradiction public.

He expressed his dissatisfaction, and he was boasting about his exploits and countering Chen Ji's long-term distrust and suppression of him!
