Chapter 362: A Mold
Li Xinchen himself knew about the situation in Bashu, and then Dai Cai gave him a more thorough analysis in the White Emperor City, which let Li Xinchen know what kind of situation he was facing.
Don't look at the road from Baidi City to Ba County, but in fact, there are not many places where people can really live on this road, and the cities of the Han people are actually gathered along the river, and they are scattered and scattered, so although this piece of land is large, it is not so easy to really grasp it all.
More importantly, from the White Emperor City to the three counties of Linjiang, there are far more mountains than flat land, and there are too few places that can be tuntian, so they can only be used as a military defense line, and cannot be used as a base area. Therefore, if Li Xinchen wants to gain a firm foothold in Bashu, not just to take a bridgehead, he must take Bajun.
"When is it going to be beaten?" Xiao Shilian rubbed his hands anxiously while following Li Xinchen through the uneven streets of White Emperor City.
Of course, Li Xinchen knew that it was impossible for this guy to be in charge of the grain and grass transfer in the back, and it was a bit of a shame to let him be in charge of this. Li Xinchen was mainly worried that the defending generals along the way would be dissatisfied with him, a young man who had just been promoted to a miscellaneous general, so he needed to use Xiao Shilian's background to suppress possible dissatisfaction and jealousy.
After all, due to the war, many of the civil and military officials in Jingzhou have been retained, and they actually do not belong to the overall system of the East Palace, so Li Xinchen cannot ensure that all of them will fully cooperate with the work of his partial division when the war comes.
Even Li Xinchen didn't dare to guarantee that the people inside the East Palace system would not disobey him, so Xiao Shilian's existence was very necessary, and before Li Xinchen had a firm foothold, of course, he couldn't cut off the grain and grass and baggage supplies in the rear.
And now that the main materials have been transferred to Anshu City, there are Luo Ya, when these materials will be transferred to White Emperor City and then to the front line, it is just a matter of time and the efficiency of the sailors' ships.
Therefore, Xiao Shilian naturally doesn't have to sit in the rear anymore, and Li Xinchen will not let go of his hardcore friend and his out-and-out relatives now, and looking at Xiao Shilian's high-spirited state, he knows that he doesn't need to sell Guan Zi anymore to mobilize morale:
"Tired or not?"
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Don't be tired, something is about to go wrong!" ”
Li Xinchen smiled slightly: "Okay, then let's set off in the afternoon, so that the soldiers can also take this opportunity to rest for half a day." A thousand men were left to defend the city, and the rest went on the march. ”
"Where?" Xiao Shilian was obviously taken aback by Li Xinchen's straightforward order, and asked almost subconsciously.
Squinting his eyes, Li Xinchen said lightly: "Didn't you just say it, Ba Jun!" ”
Xiao Shilian opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while. How many days have passed since the White Emperor City was taken? I'm afraid that I can count it on my fingers, Li Xinchen not only swallowed the three counties of Linjiang in one bite, but he was not satisfied, and he was about to attack Ba County non-stop.
This is clearly not taking the defenders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty into account, not so much planning for the attack, but for the march.
Can the battle still be fought like this?
Xiao Shilian and Xiao Maha switched to Lu Liang before, and then resisted Wei Chi Hui with Li Xinchen, every time it was a real vicious battle and a hard battle, especially the battle with Yu Chi Hui, although it was not the largest battle in the Battle of Jiangling, but it was definitely the most tragic and fierce battle.
Therefore, Xiao Shilian never thought that Li Xinchen's soldiers pointed to Bajun, and it was so easy to break through along the way.
And before, no one in Nanchen had ever seen the fatal weakness of Northern Zhou. Thinking of this, Xiao Shilian could only sigh that Li Xinchen's strategic vision had surpassed everyone else and stood on another level.
As for Li Xinchen's tactical command ability, it has also been fully proved in the previous battle of Zhangshan and the current battle of the three counties of Linjiang.
This guy is a demon!
"Scared?" Li Xinchen said with a smile as he walked into the meeting hall.
Xiao Shilian laughed: "What am Lao Tzu afraid of, let's fight this Ba County." Shizhong, how you arrange it, we will fight! ”
Li Xinchen looked at Xiao Shilian who was carved out of a mold like Xiao Maha, and secretly sighed in his heart, if there is really a father, there must be a son, Xiao Maha was an out-and-out fighter before, and Xiao Shilian is undoubtedly too.
Of course, Li Xinchen will definitely not let Xiao Shilian lead more than a dozen cavalry to directly attack the enemy's large array like Xiao Maha, he doesn't dare to bet on Xiao Maha's anger and his sister's future, so it seems that he really has to cultivate this guy in the days to come, at least let him be more willing to use his brains.
Without waiting for Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian to discuss the specific details, Li Ping walked in with a somewhat strange face: "General Qiyu, Wanchuan guards Tang Yishun's name, and the person is already outside the mansion." ”
Li Xinchen obviously had already expected this visitor: "Hurry up, please." ”
Xiao Shilian said disdainfully: "Isn't this Tang Yishun the Taishou of the Zhou State, now at best he is our prisoner, why are you so polite to him?" ”
"It's not because he's too polite," Li Xinchen explained funny, "but because behind him is the Wanchuan Tang family, if we can get the help of the Tang family, it will be much easier for us to gain a foothold in Bashu." ”
"Tang?" Xiao Shilian's face suddenly became a little solemn, he might be able to disdain a Taishou of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but he had to maintain a certain degree of respect and vigilance for this one of the top two families in Ba County, "With the support of the Tang family, it is indeed easy to do things." ”
Li Xinchen shook his head and corrected Xiao Shilian's mistake: "It's not support, it's effectiveness." ”
Stunned for a moment, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You really have a big appetite, so I want to accompany you to see what kind of character is worthy of such attention from the dignified general." ”
Li Xinchen smiled and didn't explain much.
And the footsteps sounded in a hurry, and a dusty middle-aged man appeared in front of Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, and when he saw two young people standing in front of him, he was stunned, and he didn't know which one was Li Xinchen for a while.
"It's Wanchuan Tang Boxian (Tang Yishun's cousin) Brother Tang?" Li Xinchen had a smile on his face.
"Exactly!" Tang Yishun didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave up his hand. No matter which one is Li Xinchen in front of him, looking at the position where the two of them are standing, he also knows that the other one is not an idle person.
The young man opened his mouth to call him a cousin instead of his position, which also made Tang Yishun, who had been worried all the way, breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that the other party does not want to use this to make fun of and humiliate himself.
"This is my general, and this is General Chen Fenwei." Li Ping hurriedly introduced to Tang Yishun.
Xiao Shilian also arched his hand: "Contemptible General Xiao Shilian, if Brother Tang doesn't dislike it, call a certain table Boqing." ”
Tang Yishun hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted, if he wanted to talk about General Fenwei, maybe he had to think about it, but when it came to Xiao Shilian, where could he not know?
