Rao is like this, these soldiers still seem to be alive when they see Li Xinchen's appearance.

After all, no matter which army it is, loving soldiers like sons is only a verbal thing after all, especially in this troubled era, the generals work hard, and all they do is fame and fortune.

A few sentries who watched Li Xinchen finish these things silently with their own eyes were foggy. How many people are there in the world who take them to work hard, take them to make achievements, and come to see them in person?

Although in the eyes of later generations, Li Xinchen's approach is a bit clumsy, but no one can deny that in this era, or even in any era, these hard-working, sweating and desperate big-headed soldiers eat this set.

Whoever is good to them, they are willing to fight for.

The knot grass rank ring seems to be just an empty promise, but in the hearts of these big-headed soldiers, it is really heavy.

Because most of the soldiers were resting, Li Xinchen just gave a few words of instructions to Chen Zhishen and others, and rushed directly to Xiao Maha's mansion, but he didn't expect Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie to arrive first, obviously these two guys had no intention of resting.

The soldiers need to worry about how to work hard, and the generals need to worry more about how to make the hard work of the people below more valuable.

"This is the latest situation on the front line," seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiao Maha didn't mean to say a few more greetings, and pointed directly on the map, "Wei Chi Yu launched a crazy attack on the south side of Wuning County to the headquarters of the general Zhengxi and the Jingzhou Thorn History Department stationed in Zhangchuan County, and the two sides suffered heavy losses, and the general of Zhengxi was forced to lead the army to retreat to Zhangshan County, relying on the city to defend, and Zhangchuan County can still defend. ”

Li Xinchen couldn't help frowning, now that the overall situation has been decided, whether it is Chun Yuliang, the general of the expedition to the west, or Fan Yi, the assassin of Jingzhou, there is no need to fight with Xiao Maha awkwardly or passively, so the two battles are fighting like this, it should not be the reason for the two of them, but because Wei Chi's troops attacked too fiercely.

"Is this Wei Chi Yuan still delusional about taking Jiangling?" Xiao Shilian snorted, a little unconcerned.

Now not only is Jiangling Jiancheng completely under the control of Nan Chen, but also the reinforcements, grain and grass, and equipment in the rear are also coming in a steady stream, and the southeast of Jiangling is in the hands of Chuyang, Yidu in the west, Zhangchuan County in the northwest, and Zhangshan County in the northeast are all in the hands of Nan Chen.

The defenders of Nanchen are all in the net, unless they break through at the same time on the defense line, otherwise this Jiangling City is foolproof, with the current strength of Wei Chi Yuan, the defense of Xiangyang is still stretched, how to talk about attacking from all directions at the same time?

Therefore, Xiao Shilian is definitely not a light enemy, but a fact.

Pei Zilie said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid Wei Chi Yuan is doing this not to attack, but to defend ······."

Xiao Shilian was stunned, and Li Xinchen subconsciously looked at the staggered situation on the map, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this time, Wei Chi Yuan will definitely not attack without his strength, so I am afraid that it is really for defense, as Pei Zilie said.

"But even if he can suppress us temporarily, there is no way to change the current ······ after all." Xiao Shilian said in surprise, but immediately realized something, and his voice gradually decreased.

"Although Wei Chi Hui has lost a lot of troops, he has also forced us to retreat and has also suffered some losses," Li Xinchen muttered, "but it was not the general or anyone present who was in front, but the general of Zhengxi and the ······ of Jingzhou Assassin."

Pei Zilie shook his head slightly: "Although the general of Zhengxi is not the kind of person who does not focus on the overall situation, but his subordinates moved from Yingzhou to Suizhou, and then pressed to Wuning County, all the way to the rapid march, they must have been exhausted, and Jingzhou thorn history······ There will be some selfishness to preserve strength, so Wei Chi Yuan's seemingly meaningless counterattack has a lot of effect. ”

Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian both nodded slightly, because this meant that Nan Chen's original good situation of pincer-shaped attack on Xiangyang was forcibly resolved, but instead turned from offense to defense and fell into passivity.

"This lieutenant Chi Yu really has some ability." Xiao Maha snorted, "We won on the battlefield, but we lost in the hearts of the people." ”

The three young people present subconsciously glanced at each other, all revealing awe-inspiring meaning.

It stands to reason that the battle of Jiangling should be fought happily and vigorously, but in the end it was full of twists and turns, and even in the end, it was full of waves, in fact, as Xiao Maha said, his grasp of the thoughts of the generals of Nan Chen was not even as good as that of Captain Chi Yuan!

"Although it is probably impossible for our army to attack Xiangyang now, it is not so easy for Wei Chi Hui to go south," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "At least before we attacked Jiangling, we had no plan to take Xiangyang in one go, and Xiangyang is more significant to the Northern Zhou than Jiangling, and if we rashly attack the north, it is not a good thing, and it may even cause a more violent counterattack in the Northern Zhou, so it is not impossible to maintain ······the current front."

Xiao Maha bowed slightly, in fact, before the war, everyone was going to attack Jiangling with a shameful mentality, and there were really few people who had planned to attack Xiangyang, so it was not unacceptable that Xiangyang could not be taken now.

Just when Xiao Maha was about to open his mouth to order the rest of the things, Chen Yu hurriedly walked in: "General, Shen Gong sent a secret report!" ”

"Oh?!" Xiao Maha was stunned for a moment, and immediately stretched out his hand to take it, "Didn't Shen Gong's secret report just send it a few days ago?" ”

According to Chen Ji's meaning, he just took this opportunity to let Chen Shubao, who had never been out of Jiankang Mansion on weekdays, come to Jingzhou for training, and also maintain a relationship with the generals below, so he asked Chen Shubao to come to issue the decree as a messenger after the war.

Although the edict has not yet been issued, Chen Ji has already notified the East Palace to prepare in advance, so this is a sure thing, and Shen Jungao did not hesitate, and immediately sent this matter to Jiangling. And this secret report has only been delivered for a few days, why is there another secret report?

"Several of the henchmen of Yangzhou Thorn History have disappeared recently?" Just a cursory glance, Xiao Maha's face changed slightly, obviously this is not a good thing, and immediately looked at Chen Yu, "Who sent this secret report?!" ”

Chen Yu hurriedly made a gesture of please, and a young man reached out and took off his cloak and bowed his hand to the few people present: "Zunyi has seen all the generals. ”

Li Xinchen and the others all looked at this familiar young man in astonishment, and their faces immediately changed. The person who came was Shen Jungao's son Shen Zunyi.

Shen Jungao asked his son, who had not yet been crowned as an adult, to come thousands of miles to deliver the news, which showed that this news was not only genuine, but also deadly enough!
