Li Xinchen chuckled: "This is also expected, Boqing, think about it, who does the entire Zhou Kingdom know best about Bashu?" ”

Xiao Shilian couldn't help but gasp, among the many famous generals in the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty, there were actually very few who had experience in fighting in Shu, and the two Northern Zhou generals Yang Zhong and Lu Teng who had been killed in Bajun before, Yang Zhong had died of illness ten years ago, and Lu Teng died in Jiangling not long ago, so the only remaining generals who had fought in Shu in the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty were left with Wei Chi Yuan, who pacified Bashu.

Geographically speaking, Wei Chi Hui is located in Xiangyang, which is now the closest army to Bashu in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and unlike the forbidden army stationed in Guanzhong, which needs to cross the Qinling Mountains to enter Bashu, this army can calmly trace the water and go directly to the Bashu mansion.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, Wei Chi Hui is the best candidate to lead the army into Shu to stabilize the situation, and he must also be the most difficult enemy for Li Xinchen and them to deal with next.

With Wei Chi Hui leading the army to Bashu, although the Northern Zhou will continue to accumulate troops in Xiangyang, and may even send more generals over, but with the current national strength of the Northern Zhou, there is no way to support the two wars at the same time.

After all, before the annexation of the Northern Qi Dynasty and then the Northern Expedition of the Fifth Route Army, the Northern Zhou Dynasty marched non-stop all the way under the leadership of Yu Wenyong, although it was invincible, but the problem of too many recruits and lack of food and grass began to become more and more prominent, so as long as the Northern Zhou Dynasty controlled the government of Qi Wang Yu Wenxian still had a little brain, he would not rashly make the decision to start a war on two fronts.

What's more, Nan Chen also began to gather troops in Huainan, and a war on these two fronts could turn into a full-scale war at any time, which the Northern Zhou, at least the current Northern Zhou, did not want to see.

For the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Huainan was the base of Nan Chen's business for many years, and Jingzhou had the main army of Southern Chen sitting in the town, so the easiest way to break through and win on the three fronts was naturally the Bashu direction. Especially now that Nan Chen has always had the upper hand in the war of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yu Wenyun, who has just ascended the throne, Yu Wenxian, who controls the government, as well as Yang Jian, Wei Xiaokuan and others must prove their ability with a victory, otherwise the snowflake-like impeachment recital is enough for them to go around.

"Wei Chi ······" Xiao Shilian said as he gently patted his palm. Those three words were enough to put pressure on him.

"It's just that our original men were defeated." Li Xinchen sneered and looked at Xiao Shilian, "Boqing, you won't be afraid of Wei Chi Yuan, right?" ”

Xiao Shilian suddenly came back to his senses, shook his fist fiercely, and laughed: "Yes, no matter how famous this Wei Chi Yuan is, he is also a defeated general of our subordinates, I am afraid that he will do something!" When the tuas comes, the three of us brothers will be ready to compete with this lieutenant! ”

Li Xinchen looked at the high-spirited Xiao Shilian, and the last big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Chen Zhishen and Lu Zhiwu's embryo-killing attitudes naturally don't need him to be sure, now that Xiao Shilian has risen to the fighting spirit, Li Xinchen has more certainty.

"By the way, Shizhong," Xiao Shilian remembered one thing, "I don't know when the next big battle will be, but what about the credit of our last battle, after all, we still have to ask the imperial court." ”

The soldiers also fought for the sake of military salaries and meritorious service, and it was impossible to follow Li Xinchen all the way to the dark for no reason.

Li Xinchen bowed slightly, of course he was not arrogant enough to think that he was the king of Bashu grass, and now he needed more places for Nan Chen. took out a piece of music from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Shilian, Li Xinchen said lightly: "A certain has been written, you can take a look first." ”

Xiao Shilian nodded, he was not interested in writing chapters and battle reports, after Li Xinchen wrote it, he only needed to sign it as a joint signature.

After opening the chapter and just glancing at it, Xiao Shilian suddenly frowned: "Shizhong, what do you mean by this, a certain number one in the merit book?" What about you, why didn't you see your name? ”

Throughout the ages, the credit of the main generals in the army is often the greatest in a big war, so it is generally ranked first, and the following generals are competing for the second position, in the previous battle of Jingzhou, Xiao Maha listed Li Xinchen as the first, even if it breaks the long-standing convention, this is also the reason why Li Xinchen is famous inside and outside Nanchen in a short period of time.

And now Xiao Shilian opened the credit book and looked at it, where is Li Xinchen's name on it?

His Xiao Shilian's name ranked first, followed by Chen Zhishen and the general Dai Cai, and then the names of Lu Zhiwu and others. Resisting the urge to directly drop the song to the ground, Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xinchen with wide eyes, this guy must give himself a reasonable explanation today.

Li Xinchen smiled and said: "Don't panic, and then look down, a certain person is going to ask the court for his guilt, of course he can't be in the merit book." ”

Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, hurriedly glanced at the next text, and suddenly couldn't help but say: "Is it your sin to enter the army without asking for instructions?!" There is also this, the soldiers are lost and the money and food, in exchange for others, with such a little soldiers and horses, I am afraid that I will not even be able to take down a White Emperor City! ”

While speaking, Xiao Shilian slapped the chapter on the table and stretched out his hand to point at Li Xinchen's nose: "Li Shizhong, what do you mean by this, if someone believes you and signs your name directly, isn't that putting yourself in a place of injustice?!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Li Xinchen's heart was warm, and he stretched out his hand to remove Xiao Shilian's hand, "I asked you, did you not ask the court for instructions this time?" ”

Xiao Shilian's lips trembled slightly, it was not unreasonable for Li Xinchen to say this, after all, the entire plan to attack Bashu required top secrets, and even asked Li Xinchen to set off for Zhangchuan County to make a false shot, and at that time, he was pressing, and he did it directly after making up his mind in the East Palace, and he did it without consulting Jiankang Mansion at all.

After all, this piece of music has taken an unknown amount of time from Jiankang Mansion back and forth, and I don't know how many people will be handled in the middle, who can guarantee that the biggest secret of the East Palace will not be known by outsiders?

"This is a fact, but this is also what His Royal Highness the Prince, Daddy and Duke Zhou agreed to at the beginning, if they really talk about the crime, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape!" Xiao Shilian said indignantly, "Don't say it, if you want to ask for guilt, you can remove the name of a certain person from the merit book, and a certain person is also an insider, and he should also bear the responsibility with you!" ”

Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Boqing, don't be so excited. This matter is not as simple as you think, not to mention that you really think that a certain guilty plea really thinks that you are guilty? ”

Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, the anger on his face slowly dissipated, and he frowned and said: "That's the truth, even if you really want to ask for guilt, Daddy and they will definitely not agree." ”

Entering Bashu is a decision made by many courtiers of the East Palace, and all the power of the East Palace is used, if Li Xinchen pleads guilty, is it true that all the civil and military forces of the East Palace since the crown prince are guilty, does it mean that half of the officialdom of Nanchen will collapse?
