Li Xinchen didn't wait for Xiao Maha to speak, and stretched out his hand to point on this map: "General, please see, Da Chen's northern defense line is from Jiangling all the way to the northeast to connect Huaixi, and then connect Huaidong, forming the first line of defense directly facing the Zhou people, so Jiangling is missing a large piece here to the north, resulting in a diagonal line, which is easy to be attacked by the convex part, that is, the flank of Huaixi, and the missing piece is Xiangyang." ”

Although he didn't know what Li Xinchen was saying this for, Xiao Maha still nodded slightly. And Li Xinchen smiled and said: "Therefore, it is reasonable that the general is anxious to take Xiangyang, only in this way can the northern defense line facing the Zhou people be pulled into a straight line." ”

Xiao Maha frowned, Li Xinchen had already seen through his arrangement, this feeling of being pinched made Xiao Maha uncomfortable, but Li Xinchen obviously did not stop there, his eyes did not stay on Xiangyang, but along the straight line he just said all the way to the east.

At this time, Xiao Maha already vaguely knew what Li Xinchen wanted to say, his face sank slightly, and Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and knocked heavily on Huaixi and Huaidong at the next moment: "Does the general really think that this can become a straight line?" ”

At this moment, even Ren Zhong and Lu Guangda knew what Li Xinchen wanted to say, and their expressions changed.

On the entire front, the Huaidong departments are already scattered, but they are only in the name of the fierce general Lu Zicai, but Lu Zicai, who is in Huaidong, has not yet gone to the Huaixi Army to take up a new position, but just patted his nephew Lu Zhiwu, this Lu Zhiwu had previously accompanied the newly formed Li Xinchen's department to train, and he can be regarded as a figure who has a lot of roots with Li Xinchen, Lu Zicai did not move himself at this time, but sent this Lu Zicai, who obviously also had Li Xinchen's label, to Huaixi, the meaning is self-evident.

It is estimated that it will not be long before this army that has no enemy on the opposite side will move to Fancheng, cooperate with the attack on the city and block the enemy in the north.

As for Huaidong, it is needless to say that it is Wu Huijue who is now presiding over the war in Huaidong, and the Wu family is already on Li Xinchen's side, so it can be said that Wu Huijue may change his flag at any time.

If you look at it from this point of view, then the defense line of Huaidong and Huaixi may change hands at any time and become Li Xinchen's, so Xiao Maha's attack on Xiangyang will lose its meaning, and Xiangyang will become the most obvious salient, and it will inevitably be taken care of by Li Xinchen in the future.

Xiao Maha frowned tightly and didn't say a word, while Li Xinchen said leisurely: "The general should have brought all the soldiers and horses with him on this expedition, right?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Maha subconsciously made a sound, and immediately understood something, and his expression changed greatly.

Whether it is attacking or defending Xiangyang after the attack, it is necessary to have sufficient troops, for Nan Chen, whose troops in Huaixi and Huaidong may not be able to use, if he wants to draw out such a force that can guard Xiangyang, it is necessary to weaken the original army of Yingzhou and Jiangling, which means ······

Xiao Maha's eyes subconsciously glanced in the direction of Jiangling, which meant that Xu Deyan and Cao Zhong, who were fighting in the White Emperor City, were most likely to lead their troops south.

Cao Zhong followed Li Xinchen's cronies very early, and Xu Deyan didn't need to say that the Jiankang Mansion and his party were enough to prove that he was not only Xu Ling's grandson, but also a qualified Confucian general. Li Xinchen would never put these two generals here for no reason, obviously with Wang Chang's sailors, they were enough to lead his troops down the river to Jiangling when Xiao Maha attacked Xiangyang.

Especially at this time, Jiangling's defense can be said to be unprecedentedly weak, and if Cao Zhong and Xu Deyan really make a move, it is not impossible to take advantage of it.

Xiao Maha looked at Li Xinchen, at this time he already understood that Li Xinchen told him that Huaidong and Huaixi might not belong to Nan Chen at any time was just one thing, what he really wanted to tell Xiao Maha was that if Xiao Maha insisted on attacking Xiangyang, then Li Xinchen would not mind attacking Jiangling.

It can be said that Li Xinchen is holding Xiao Maha's back road and threatening him.

This threat is naturally fatal to Xiao Maha, if Xiangyang has not been taken, there will be danger on the Jiangling side, then Xiao Maha's army will become a lone army, and it can even be said that it will repeat the fate of Guan Yu back then.

And even if Xiao Maha takes Xiangyang and Jiangling is lost, it means that Xiangyang has once again become an isolated city, and the entire Jinghu battle situation has completely fallen into Li Xinchen's grasp, which is more than worth the loss for Xiao Maha.

No matter what the ending is, it is not something that Xiao Maha can accept.

Therefore, when Li Xinchen said these possibilities either explicitly or secretly, Xiao Maha's face inevitably changed. And Li Xinchen said unhurriedly: "What the last general said may be biased, and I am afraid that the rights and wrongs in this need to be decided by the general himself." ”

Xiao Maha frowned, and did not answer at all, Li Xinchen has been full of confidence since he entered the camp, and it turns out that his confidence is not arrogant. Obviously, this young man had once again calculated everything as before, and gave Xiao Maha a condition that he had to think about carefully. It is definitely a good deal to exchange the safety of Jiangling for Xiangyang City, which has not yet been obtained, and more importantly, after Li Xinchen said this, Xiao Maha also found that the significance of taking Xiangyang by himself is not as great as it used to be.

With the generals of Huaidong and Huaixi moving closer to Li Xinchen openly or covertly, Nan Chen's defense line will definitely be closed next, relying on the river is naturally the best choice, so Xiangyang is definitely not as important as Jiangling, after all, as soon as Huaixi's soldiers and horses turn, Xiangyang may fall into the encirclement on all sides, and it will only consume soldiers and horses and grain and grass in vain, which is naturally more than worth the loss for Nan Chen.

Xiao Maha was confused for a while, and Lu Guangda, Ren Zhong and other generals were obviously aware of the stakes here, and they knew that this was definitely not something that could be decided by relying on them, because it was related to the entire Nanchen court, and in the eyes of the Nanchen court, Li Xinchen and Wu Mingche and the others who supported him behind him were not Nanchen's courtiers.

Although there has been a clear conclusion on these issues, at least now Lu Guangda and others dare not and are not qualified to say it.

"It's getting late, Cao Xiaoda is afraid that he won't be safe tonight, and the general should be more vigilant," Li Xinchen saw that Xiao Maha had fallen into deep thought, "What the last general said today, the general can think as much as he wants, and the last general believes in the general's judgment, and the last general will retire first." ”

The corners of Xiao Maha's mouth twitched, but after all, he didn't say anything, just bowed slightly.

Li Xinchen didn't drag his feet, turned around and left, while Pei Zilie quickly followed.
