Xiao Maha did not answer Lu Guangda directly, but looked at Chen Yu: "Send the order down, Ren Zhong's troops retreat to the southwest of Xiangyang City, relying on Jingshan and Tanxi to go down to the village." ”

"This ······" Chen Yu was also a little surprised, but he still bowed his hand, "Obey!" ”

Xiao Maha gave such an order, which was completely equivalent to telling Li Xinchen that Xiao Maha was about to withdraw from the battle for hegemony in Xiangyang City. After all, Tanxi and the current Da Xian Mountain, where Xiao Maha settled the Chinese army, are not considered to be the edge of Xiangyang City, compared to Pei Zilie's department and Chun Yuliang's department, it can almost be said that they are close to Xiangyang City, and Xiao Maha's retreat at this time is naturally equivalent to giving up.

Lu Guangda is obviously aware of this problem, of course he knows how much Xiao Maha wants Xiangyang, or every general stationed in Jiangling is looking forward to the day when he can take Xiangyang, taking Xiangyang is equivalent to opening up the passage to the north, no matter what happens after that, this history will not be able to run away.

Xiao Maha wants Xiangyang, which is well known in the entire Jiangling army, before Xiao Maha had raised troops to the north again and again, but the strength of the Northern Zhou army made Xiao Maha have no ability to shake the iron wall of Xiangyang City, and in desperation, he could only return every time, but fortunately, the defenders in Xiangyang City did not dare to pursue rashly because of the change in the situation, so although Xiao Maha had experienced a big war, the losses were not much, and he still had a chance to make a comeback.

And this time the troops sent north are very different from the past, Xiao Maha's troops are strong and strong, compared to Xiangyang City's city defense force has never weakened to the point it is now, so this is really a godsend for Xiao Maha. Even if there is really such an annoying guy as Li Xinchen stepping in, Xiao Maha also has a chance to break through Xiangyang, and this opportunity is very big, after all, the simple advantage of troops can indeed decide a lot sometimes.

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, including Lu Guangda, this time is undoubtedly Xiao Maha's most likely opportunity to win Xiangyang, but at this time, Xiao Mahe intends to give up.

However, seeing that Xiao Maha should have made up his mind, Lu Guangda knew that as a general, he had no right to ask any more questions. And Xiao Maha noticed the hesitant Lu Guangda, and said lightly: "Maybe Li Xinchen is right, after that, Da Chen should think more about how to protect himself in this troubled world, the world has been stirred, but Da Chen is no longer suitable to enter this storm, otherwise I am afraid that he will inevitably be crushed." ”

After a pause, Xiao Maha closed his eyes: "This is the world that belongs to young people!" ”

Lu Guangda didn't speak, just faced Xiao Maha and solemnly bowed his hand, he knew that Xiao Maha had done his best, and there were some things that he could not decide and preside over at all.

Without looking at the figure of Lu Guangda leaving, Xiao Maha staggered to the table, Chen Yu walked in quickly at this time, and saw Xiao Maha with a stiff figure, and almost exclaimed, Xiao Maha looked ten years old at this time, so that Chen Yu only felt that he knew another person, and he hurriedly stepped forward:

"General!"

Xiao Maha waved his hand and sighed: "I'm fine, let me rest by myself for a while." ”

Chen Yu slowly let go of the hand that was supporting Xiao Maha, he knew the general's temper, if it was changed in normal times, he would have been impatient to let himself go, after all, with Xiao Maha's proud temper, he would not allow others to support him, this is undoubtedly a sign of weakness, and Xiao Maha has followed Chen Ba to fight in the world since he was twelve years old, but he can't tolerate showing weakness.

Today, however······ Xiao Maha's hand didn't move after all.

Chen Yu sighed silently in his heart, he knew that the general finally admitted that he was old this time, even if Xiao Maha was actually not old now, but when he was old, he would always be more terrible than his physical age.

When Xiao Maha sat down trembling like this, it also meant that his battle of Xiangyang was about to end. Li Xinchen's threat, the failure of the counterattack, and the pressure layer by layer made Xiao Maha have no confidence in whether he can take Xiangyang and what he should do after taking Xiangyang, and all he wants to do now and can do is to lead the army to retreat and leave this battlefield that is destined to belong to Li Xinchen.

Such a decision is not a relief for Xiao Maha.

After taking over the position of general from Wu Mingche, Xiao Maha has been burdened a lot, especially at that time, Wu Mingche had just retreated from Huaibei, although the army was preserved, but the morale was frustrated, and the materials were lost a lot, not to mention the veterans in the army questioned Xiao Maha, after all, such a relatively young general suddenly appeared to lead the whole army, which made it impossible for them to accept it for a while.

It can be said that Xiao Maha withstood all this, and finally won the victory in the Battle of Jiangling, breaking the blockade of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for more than 20 years in one fell swoop, and making the Dajiang defense line of Nanchen complete for the first time.

Obviously, a newer generation of young people has begun to rise, and the era of Xiao Maha is short, but brilliant enough, and now it is time to end. Purely for such a general, being able to achieve such a victory in life is already worth mentioning, although Xiao Maha is unwilling, he can only accept the reality.

As long as he is still loyal to Nan Chen, he can't be rash at this time, and doing a good job in the defense of Gangneung is the top priority. It is conceivable that it should be difficult for Xiao Maha to have the opportunity to preside over a large-scale offensive in the future.

But fortunately, at least the Xiao family still has a major general.

Perhaps the glory of the Shaw family has just begun.

Chen Yu silently helped Xiao Maha bring a basin of water.

As a retainer, I have witnessed the rise of the Xiao family and the process of coming to glory, but I don't know why I have a deep sense of powerlessness.

——————————-

When Xiao Maha sighed in the tent, Chun Yuliang looked at the uninvited guest in front of him, and only felt that there was cold air swishing behind him.

Li Xinchen came too suddenly, just when Chun Yuliang had just received the battle situation in the west of the city, when he learned that Xiao Maha's counterattack was fruitless, Chun Yuliang felt that he should already know what Xiao Maha's next to do.

Therefore, it is reasonable for Li Xinchen to come to visit, but Chun Yuliang never thought that he thought about it on the front foot, and Li Xinchen arrived on the back foot.

This is actually the first time Chun Yuliang has seen this young general who has become famous at home and abroad, he is standing in front of him, not a jade tree in the wind, but his appearance is worthy of praise, and more importantly, Li Xinchen's eyebrows reveal a heroic spirit and self-confidence, which is the most attractive place for Chun Yuliang.

The young man had clearly never doubted that he would be able to achieve the ultimate victory.

And Li Xinchen looked at Chun Yuliang in front of him, and seemed to know that his coming would not be a trivial matter, and this old general did not have the old dragon clock as he imagined, but his waist was straight, and his eyes were a little cold.
