Chapter 752: I can't see through it
Wei Chi Zhen's expression was solemn: "That's right, Hanzhong has changed hands, we must be more careful." β
Although Yu Wenxian has not fought in the south, he is also aware of the threat of Hanzhong to the surrounding areas, especially the loss of Hanzhong and the cutting off of the upper reaches of the water, Nan Chen or to be precise, Nan Chen and Bashu have formed a two-fold situation against Xiangyang, which is of course fatal to the threat to Xiangyang.
Especially now that there are not many defenders in Xiangyang, it is conceivable that Xiao Maha will inevitably take action next, but Wei Chi Hui's department is still in Guanzhong, and it is also the only soldier and horse that Yu Wenxian can rely on now, and it is impossible to go to Xiangyang to rescue for a while.
As soon as Xiangyang is lost, then the defense line of the water will collapse, and the enemy's troops will be directed at the Central Plains and Guanzhong! The stakes here, Yu Wenxian felt trembling when he thought about it.
This Li Xinchen really took everything to the slightest.
And what surprised him even more was that Niu Hong, who was recognized as the leader of the young generation, surrendered to Li Xinchen so simply, and there must have been someone behind it. And the Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· who can make Niu Hong so obedient I'm afraid that's the only one left.
And that person helped Yu Wenxian escape from the city not long ago.
"Yang Su Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Yu Wenxian chewed on the name. He knew very well what the name represented, not just a person, but also the immense strength behind this person.
Guanlong Group has been rampant in Guanzhong for several generations, is it just talking? If they really want to support someone and launch their full strength, whether it is Yu Wenxian or Yang Jian, they may not be opponents.
In this way, is Li Xinchen the final choice of Yang Su? Because there was already a candidate in his heart, he Shi Shiran directly rejected himself?
Wei Chi Yu knew it early, and obviously figured out the trick of this time, and the smile on his face was a little bitter no matter how he looked at it.
As one of the first generals to deal with Li Xinchen, Wei Chi had to sigh that Li Xinchen really grew up to be the most terrible enemy in the Northern Zhou Dynasty unconsciously.
Yu Wenxian muttered: "This time escaped from Chang'an City, the Guanzhong family can be said to be indispensable, but if Yang Su, Niu Hong and others had already planned to take refuge in Li Xinchen before, why would they come to the rescue?" β
Wei Chi was stunned for a moment, and his expression became serious, since the Guanlong Group has turned to Li Xinchen, it feels wrong to help Yu Wenxian no matter how he thinks at this time, could it be said that taking refuge in Li Xinchen is just the personal behavior of Yang Su and Niu Hong?
Yu Wenxian frowned, things must not be so simple. And Wei Chi Hui seemed to think of something first, and said in a low voice: "Maybe His Royal Highness and Sui Guogong finally fought so much that today, it is Li Xinchen who instructed the Guanzhong family to do it behind his back,"
"What?" Yu Wenxian only felt cold hands and feet.
And Wei Chi smiled bitterly: "The contradictions and misunderstandings between His Royal Highness and Sui Guogong or His Majesty have existed since the death of the first emperor, but now they are intensifying, and finally to the point where they have to meet each other. β
Yu Wenxian was silent, but his expression became more and more solemn.
"But after thinking about it, whether Your Majesty or Your Highness, there is a shadow of the manipulation of the Zhong family behind it, and the Guanzhong family is doing this, naturally they want to make the struggle between His Highness and Sui Guogong completely unsolvable, and in the end, the entire Great Zhou can only fall into infighting," Wei Chi said after careful consideration, "Woe to Xiao Wall, the cheap ones will always be outsiders, such as Li Xinchen." β
Yu Wenxian's fists clenched, he admitted that he really didn't expect this, and he had to admit that Li Xinchen seemed to be controlling the direction of the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty by controlling the Guanzhong family, and why Li Xinchen went to Jiankang Mansion, the capital of Nanchen, seemed to be understandable afterwards.
He wanted to divert the attention of the Southern Chen court, so that the Northern Zhou side could let go without external pressure, after all, it was a good choice to settle their own disputes while other people's families were also in civil strife.
Presumably Yang Jian has similar thoughts, so he has been stepping up his pace these days.
However, Li Xinchen decisively withdrew from Jiankang Mansion and let everything go off the rails. Nan Chen's infighting came to an abrupt end in this strange way, while Bei Zhou's infighting had just begun, and judging from the current situation, it had reached a point where it was difficult to stop, everyone had already shown their blades, and it was impossible to sit down and negotiate peacefully.
This made Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian very embarrassed, and whether they should continue to fight is a question.
"This Li Xinchen really seized the deadliest time." Yu Wenxian said in a deep voice, "Or maybe he single-handedly contributed to such an opportunity." β
And Wei Chi didn't know how to answer for a while, and the cruelty of the truth made him a little trance.
Li Xinchen is not only a person who is good at seizing opportunities, but also a person who will create opportunities for himself, such opponents are the most terrifying.
Yu Wenxian gently urged the war horse, although the situation in front of him made him unable to see through, but he also had to grit his teeth and go down: "Let's go back and go to Luoyang!" β
"Yes!" Wei Chi Yu hurriedly responded, at this time, for those of them who are united around Yu Wenxian, what they need most is of course a backbone, but fortunately, Yu Wenxian does not seem to be defeated by the difficulties in front of him.
ββββββββββββββββββ-
There was a muffled "bang", and the wood slammed on the head of a Bashu soldier, who screamed miserably and fell off the ladder, and several soldiers under the ladder hurriedly dodged.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!"
The eyes of the building below widened in a way that could be described as angry.
This battle was really tragic, and the Bashu army shed too much blood in the process of advancing to the pass. Yangping Pass can be called the "gateway of Hanzhong", which is indeed worthy of its name. Towering peaks blocked the route of the attack, and the narrow roads were only enough for the soldiers to advance against the arrows fired from the gates.
Although the trebuchets and bed crossbows in the rear have been working very hard to suppress the city, they have no vision, and secondly, they are afraid of accidentally injuring their own people, so they can only extend it back as much as possible, so that the suppression of the first line of the city is not significant, and I don't know how many soldiers have fallen under the dense arrows like locusts.
And as the drumbeat became more and more intensive, more Bashu soldiers roared forward, and one after another the ladders were damaged, but more ladders were erected, and countless soldiers climbed along the ladders, and the rushing cars stepped through the moats full of mud and corpsesβin order to lay sandbags and planks on the moats that were enough for the traffic to pass, hundreds of soldiers fell down and became part of this improvised bridge.
