Xiangyang City.

The rustling cold wind rolled the military flag upside down, and a group of soldiers on duty walked briskly past.

Pei Zilie stretched out his hand to support the battlements, looking at the continuous military camps outside the city, his heart was heavy.

As the key to the north and south, no matter whose hands Xiangyang is, the role is the same. The army that was originally bound for the northwest was gathering in Xiangyang at this time, accompanied by a large amount of grain, grass, gold and silver.

The wealth of the Land of Abundance was eventually converted into part of the huge war machine in front of Pei Zilie's eyes. The main army of Xiangyang was originally resting, but the recent tension in the atmosphere made Pei Zilie dare not take it lightly.

Lu Guangda and Ren Zhong have respectively sent scouts to spy on the Xiangyang military, whether they are for attack or defense, the enemy is undoubtedly Pei Zilie.

Pei Zilie didn't want to compete with Xiao Maha, when he promised Li Xinchen to stay in Xiangyang, it was tantamount to acquiescing to his identity as the commander of Xiangyang in the future. And in order to express his trust in Pei Zilie, Li Xinchen even transferred Chun Yuliang, who was originally in Xiangyang, to Hanzhong.

Chun Yuliang doesn't have much opinion on this, now most of the soldiers and horses under his command have been concentrated under the hands of his son Chun Yucen, and Chun Yucen is also responsible for coordinating the Huaixi soldiers and horses, it can be said that Chun Yuliang's hard work for most of his life is still in the hands of Chun Yu's family, which is enough to make Chun Yuliang happy.

People who are already about to enter the ground have no way to adapt to the bumpy battles like young people, so even if the war really starts, Chun Yuliang must have asked himself to stay in Xiangyang to take care of the rear, and it is useless to add credit to himself, it is more appropriate to add it to his son.

Therefore, when Li Xinchen mobilized Chun Yuliang to enter Hanzhong, the old general could be said to be happy to go, after all, it was really a fight, and the opponents on the opposite side were all old colleagues, which was really a little difficult to start, and now he went to Hanzhong to sit in Hanzhong, Yang Jian would not take the initiative to provoke Li Xinchen for a while, and it was of course a good choice for Chun Yuliang who wanted to find a place to retire.

And on the other hand, for Pei Zilie, it naturally means that there will be one less person to negotiate with him at that time, and the pressure on his shoulders will be greater.

But fortunately, soon another old man came to Xiangyang City.

"But it's been a long time since I've felt this cold wind with murderous intent," the old man's voice suddenly sounded from behind Pei Zilie, "It's been many years since I fought in the winter, and it's really nostalgic for the years of the Golden Iron Horse." ”

Pei Zilie turned his head and couldn't help but salute: "Sikong." ”

The old man waved his hand: "It's not anymore now, an old body, the wind and candle are in their old age, if it weren't for relying on His Royal Highness the King of Han, there would be no place for this big world." ”

Pei Zilie laughed: "Your old man is really modest. ”

The old man standing in front of Pei Zilie was none other than the former Nan Chen Sikong Wu Mingche. After Wu Mingche returned to his hometown, he did not stay at home honestly, but went straight to Xiangyang City. After all, Xiangyang City is the city under Li Xinchen, which is the closest to Lianghuai that he can reach, and Wu Mingche is in Xiangyang, which can not only help Pei Zilie give advice, but also contact the old department in Lianghuai in time, killing two birds with one stone.

As a civil official, Xu Ling naturally did not go all the way with Wu Mingche, because Jingzhou had been blocked, so he went north to Hanzhong after a short stay in Xiangyang, and then turned to Chengdu to meet Li Xinchen.

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves," Wu Mingche said with a smile, looking at Pei Zilie in front of him, the once young man has now grown into a general in his own right, "Your generation is really born for this magnificent era, the old man really wants to be twenty or thirty years younger, and he can fight side by side with you." ”

After speaking, Wu Mingche smiled to himself, and then changed the topic, it is not good for people to be dissatisfied, but after all, for the old general who has fought all his life, he doesn't want to mention this topic too much: "As soon as this Chen Shujian comes, it is impossible for Xiao Maha to be honest." ”

Pei Zilie's pupils shrank slightly: "Sikong is saying that Xiao Maha may attack Xiangyang?" ”

"He doesn't have the capital yet," Wu Mingche said lightly, "at most, it's just to create some trouble on the border." ”

Pei Zilie said in a deep voice: "My Xiangyang army is waiting for the day, this is naturally expected, the scouts have long been scattered along the Jingshan line now, if Xiao Maha deliberately provokes, then we will definitely let him not eat and go around!" ”

Wu Mingche was a little surprised at first by Pei Zilie's toughness, but then nodded appreciatively. You must not be soft when you should be tough, Pei Zilie learned this from Li Xinchen.

"It's a pity that the grain and grass are not enough now, otherwise we can really teach them a good lesson," Pei Zilie then said, "Please rest assured about this." ”

"It's Uncle Chen who is really worried." Wu Mingche couldn't help but mutter, "When Mr. Jiang released Chen Shuling, he was playing with fire and setting himself on fire." ”

Pei Zilie was stunned for a moment: "Is Sikong worried about the safety of Huaidong?" ”

"Huaidong has nothing to worry about, Lu Zicai is steady, and Bo Zhi (Wu Huijue's words) are all old subordinates of the old man, as long as he can guard the front line of Zhongli, then Chen Shuling will not be able to hurt our vitality even if he opens his teeth and claws." Wu Mingche frowned and said, "What the old man is really worried about is Jiankang Mansion. ”

Pei Zilie seemed to understand what Wu Mingche meant, and couldn't help but gasp.

"It's come to this point, we can't do anything more, as for what will evolve in the end, it depends on creation," Wu Mingche said lightly, "His Royal Highness the King of Han should have realized this problem at this time, as for how to decide, we still have to listen to His Royal Highness the King of Han." Once the Chen people are in turmoil, it is the best time for us. ”

Pei Zilie was silent for a long time and bowed slightly.

After a pause, Wu Mingche couldn't help but smile and said: "I've been standing in this cold wind for a while, my body and bones can't stand it, and I'm really old." Let's go, take the old man to your council hall to see, once the battle of Xiangyang starts, how are you going to arrange it? ”

Pei Zilie didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly arched his hand: "No!" ”

Wu Mingche smiled and stretched out his hand to support him: "Now the old man is just a cloth dress, this kind of etiquette can't come." ”

Pei Zilie said: "It's a mistake to say this, one day as a teacher, and a lifetime as a teacher." Respecting teachers is irrefutable, not to mention that Sikong has a lot of support for our juniors, even if His Royal Highness King Han is here, he should do the same. ”

Wu Mingche was stunned for a moment, he suddenly found that he couldn't understand these young people more and more, but it didn't seem to be a bad thing. At least it shows that everything is changing, it's just that I'm behind the times······

Those who are about to enter the ground don't know what kind of future they can see in this life.
