Although Wei Xiaokuan never thought of using Wei Shou to open up the situation in Mianzhu Pass, and he dragged Wei Chi Yuan in this heavenly palace, but now that the battle situation has developed to this point, no matter whether he has this idea or not, Wei Xiaokuan has no way to stop others from thinking so.

He Lou Zigan also understood what Wei Xiaokuan meant, and said in a cold voice: "General, what are you worried about, even if this battle is not as good as his lieutenant, we can still fight it, but now it is them who are holding back, why should we really do it for the sake of this so-called friendly friendship······

"Enough!" Wei Xiaokuan interrupted He Louzigan.

This time, He Louzigan did not bow his head humbly as always, but raised his head and said: "Although the general is dissatisfied, his subordinates still have to continue, and now the dispute between the prince of Suiguo and the king of Qi above the court has become increasingly acute, and it is impossible for the general not to know, and it is also for this reason that he wants not to introduce this contradiction into the army, so that all departments can be kept in unison." But did the general consider the feelings of the soldiers? ”

Wei Xiaokuan originally wanted to flick his sleeves and get He Louzi out, but when he heard the last sentence, he immediately turned his head in surprise.

It wasn't just He Louzigan, Li Xun also took a step forward at the same time, and it was obvious that he wanted to show that He Louzigan's meaning was also theirs.

"General, the contradictions between the two sides have long been irreconcilable, if the general has to be balanced for the sake of checks and balances, then why don't we just let go of the war?" He Louzi arched his hand and knelt directly on one knee, "The two armies are together, and I am afraid that there will be disputes in the court because of the praise and praise of the war achievements, but if we have the ability to defeat the enemy, then the merits of this battle will be ours, and Sui Guogong will have more confidence to confront the King of Qi." ”

"General, for the sake of the soldiers and for your own future, you must think twice!" Li Xun also knelt on the ground, "The soldiers also have the heart to make meritorious contributions, and the generals in the army don't want to arouse the suspicion and suspicion of Sui Guogong, not to mention the general, you can't really put too much effort into the balance, because if you say a word of punishment, what Sui Guogong and King Qi want to see is not such a balance as the general!" ”

There were only Li Xun and He Louzigan, two of Wei Xiaokuan's henchmen, so he didn't mean to hide some words at all.

Whether it is Yang Jian, the Duke of Suiguo, or Wang Yu Wenxian of Qi, what they really want through this battle of Bashu is definitely not just the defeat of Li Xinchen, in their eyes, the threat of the entire Nanchen is not even as big as the other party, let alone a Li Xinchen.

What they really want is for one of Wei Chi Hui or Wei Xiaokuan to finally decide the overall situation, and this undoubtedly means that the position of the first person in the army will belong in the future. Who can grasp more military power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty is the result that Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian are eagerly waiting.

And now, if Wei Xiaokuan continues to check and balance like this, he can only continue this situation of each controlling part of the soldiers and horses, then in the eyes of everyone above the court, this battle will naturally lose its original meaning, and even for the distribution of credit, there may be a conflict that will inevitably break out, which is completely worth the loss.

When the time comes, if you are held responsible, of course, you won't be able to run away from Wei Xiaokuan. I'm afraid that it will not be so easy for Wei Xiaokuan to gain trust from Yang Jian in the future.

Therefore, Wei Xiaokuan's best choice at this time is obviously not balance.

"You ······" Wei Xiaokuan frowned slightly, but in the end he could only sigh.

He knew that his two subordinates were completely for his own sake, and he also knew what he should really do, but this meant that he still led this team of soldiers and horses to stand on the opposite side of Wei Chi Yuan after all.

Woe to Xiao Wall is always a harbinger of a dynasty's turmoil or even demise!

But now Wei Xiaokuan has no choice, he has already violated everyone's will to show favor to Wei Chi Er before, if he continues to insist on going his own way, I am afraid that this army will no longer be under his own command.

For the sake of his own family and for these soldiers who are struggling with him, Wei Xiaokuan can no longer obey his wishes.

The people rebelled and their relatives were separated, and their families were ruined······ These Wei Xiaokuan have fought all his life, and he has seen too much, so it is better not to taste the taste here.

"That's it, order Wei Shou to step up the attack." Wei Xiaokuan waved his hand, "Tomorrow at dawn, our army will also attack the mountain, no matter how much it costs, we must take this mountain within one day!" ”

Li Xun and He Louzigan's faces showed joy, and they hurriedly bowed their hands: "Obey!" ”

————————————————--

"Be careful," Chen Zhishen lowered his voice and immediately turned around, "If anyone dares to make a sound, Lao Tzu will throw him into the water first!" ”

The soldiers lying on the ship in the darkness let out a suppressed laugh, but in an instant the laughter was suppressed by them. Chen Zhishen snorted lightly and looked up at the outline of the city that was becoming more and more obvious in front of him.

Shu County City, they have been under this city for seven or eight days, and they are really familiar with the city in front of them, and they even think about how to take it in their dreams.

However, this largest city in Bashu is beyond Chen Zhishen's expectations in terms of scale and solidity, although Shu County has been far away from the change of dynasty for many years, but time still can't polish the tall and majestic of this city.

If it weren't for the lack of grain and grass in the city of Shu County, and the lack of soldiers and horses, so the resistance was not fierce, I'm afraid Chen Zhishen didn't even have the idea of attacking the city.

And now, whether he wants it or not, whether he dares or not, this city must be fought.

The battle report sent from Mianzhu Pass had already made Chen Zhishen realize the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders, and how important the city in front of him was. Pei Zilie was in Mianzhu Pass and Li Xinchen was in Tiangong Courtyard, almost using human lives and blood to block the offensive pace of the Northern Zhou army, and they were trying to buy enough time and opportunity for Chen Zhishen.

Now Pei Zilie can't support it anymore, and trying to resist Wei Shou with the two rivers of Luoshui and Pijiang alone is tantamount to a fool's dream, so Chen Zhishen must hurry.

The almost flat-bottomed boat moved forward little by little against the calm water, and the water gate of Shujun City had appeared in front of him.

Because Nan Chen's sailors had an absolute advantage, the Water Gate side had always been the focus of Chen Zhishen's initial attack, and the enemy was obviously aware of this, so he had been strengthening the defense of the Water Gate, and even repaired the originally destroyed fence against the sailors' arrows.

Although Chen Zhishen still chose the Water Gate as the breakthrough point in this battle, in order to buy time for the Sailor to continue to destroy the new fence, he has only made a feint attack on the side of the Water Gate in the past few days, and the main force has not been placed here, making the illusion that he has given up attacking from the Water Gate.

And now Chen Zhishen is back under the water gate, taking advantage of the night.

It was the only way he could think of it, and the only chance.
