Chapter 298: Step by Step
Xiao Maha, Zhou Qu and the others' faces changed, and even Chen Shubao, who was already drowsy sitting in the position above, opened his eyes in a daze at this time and looked at the position of Li Xinchen's fingers.
There was a fiery sparkle in everyone's eyes.
They knew very well that Li Xinchen's plan was a bit bold and even whimsical, compared to this plan, the previous debate about bypassing Xiangyang or attacking Xiangyang became so secure and even unenterprising.
Thinking about it, when the time comes, Nan Chen can attack Guanzhong from Bashu, Jiangling to attack Xiangyang, and Huainan to attack Huaibei, marching in three ways and sweeping thousands of troops, Zhou Qu, Mao Xi and even Gu Yewang and Luo Ya and others who just came to play soy sauce felt their blood boiling.
Nanchen has been suppressed by the Northern Dynasty all these years, if this plan is successful, then the vast land of Bashu, rich resources and wealth that have not been invaded by war over the years will become an important help for Nanchen, hundreds of years ago, the Qin Dynasty was able to rise in one fell swoop by obtaining Bashu!
Once he has Bashu, Nan Chen will turn around and take the advantage.
Gu Yewang and Luo Ya and other officials who dealt with Li Xinchen for the first time all looked curiously at this youngest miscellaneous general in Nanchen, while Zhou Qu and even Lu Guangda and other generals were even more enthusiastic, eager to lead troops to attack Bashu now, and plant Nanchen's banner in every inch of this country of abundance.
And Xiao Maha also faintly felt something, Li Xinchen was keenly aware of the weakness of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Sichuan and Shu, which he had never noticed before, and even he and Zhou Qu and other Wenchen fought for the gains and losses of Xiangyang City.
Once Nan Chen takes Bashu, not only will the upper reaches of the Great River be controlled, but even the upper reaches of the water will be under control, and the sailors of Nan Chen will go downstream, and the entire Xiangyang will be under the deterrence of the sailors of Nan Chen!
At the same time, Chen can go out of Hanzhong and threaten the flank of Guanzhong, you must know that Guanzhong is the foundation of the real founding of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Guanzhong is lost, and the Northern Zhou is still in the mood to care about Xiangyang? At that time, Xiangyang was just Nan Chen's bag.
And Li Xinchen didn't explain much about all this, because he had already made it very clear that Nan Chen would occupy a thorough strategic advantage, and this meant that no matter what direction of the attack, Nan Chen would take the initiative.
"Longzhong: That's right!" Three words came to Xiao Maha's mind, but he quickly changed to a new idea.
To be precise, it is an enhanced version of Longzhong's pair!
Of course, Xiao Maha didn't know, this was actually just Li Xinchen copied the defense system of the Southern Song Dynasty seven hundred years later, the Southern Song Dynasty held the key points from the east to Huainan and the west to the Dasanguan with the posture of the snake of Changshan, and it was possible to attack and retreat, so that the Jurchens and Mongols in the north really spent a lot of effort, and even during the period Yue Fei's Northern Expedition had recovered the Central Plains in one fell swoop, if it were not for Qin Hui in power and Gaozong was selfish, I am afraid that it would not be impossible for the Southern Song Dynasty to recover the world.
In fact, in the first half of the Southern Dynasty, this is actually the case, including the southern Southern Dynasty even several times to occupy the initiative, even if it suffers defeat, it can still calmly retreat and accumulate strength, it depends on this system, but it is a pity that the east and west were divided in the later period of the Southern Liang, and the Western Wei took this opportunity to take Bashu in one fell swoop, so that the Southern Dynasty only left the middle and lower reaches of the river, and the snake tail was broken, and it could only be passively defended.
And what Li Xinchen has to do now is to help Nan Chen build this snake situation in the mountains again!
Looking at Li Xinchen quietly, Xiao Maha felt that there seemed to be some elusive gaps between himself and this old man for the first time, and he was behind him.
Blue is better than blue, there is a son like this, I am afraid that Li Cheng, the benefactor of the Xiao family, can also be blind under the Yellow Spring.
Li Xinchen did not analyze the pros and cons more, none of the people present were fools, and there was no need to explain more. And there was silence around, telling Li Xinchen that no one would refute or object.
At that moment, he took a step forward and looked at Chen Shubao with his head held high. Chen Shubao was obviously completely attracted by Li Xinchen's plan, and his eyes were full of anticipation.
This time, Chen Ji asked Chen Shubao to lead the delegation to the west, of course, not only to let Chen Shubao come to give awards-if it was simply this, Wu Mingche or Xu Ling would be more suitable than Chen Shubao - but to expect Chen Shubao to be able to establish a good relationship with the civil and military generals of the East Palace, who were destined to become the mainstay of Southern Chen in the future, and if Chen Shubao could do something, it would naturally be better.
Now, if we can come up with a strategy to break the current deadlock, it will be a great achievement for Chen Shubao.
At that time, maybe my father's supervision and punishment will be much less!
Chen Shubao looked at Li Xinchen as if he was looking at his own savior.
No wonder Shen Gong said that he wanted to have more contact with this Li Xinchen, and Shen Gongcheng did not deceive me.
At that moment, Chen Shubao looked at Li Xinchen with a smile: "Shizhong, then do you think you should go out of Xinzhou?" ”
Chen Shubao came up and directly called Li Xinchen's expression, which made Li Xinchen slightly stunned, and the surrounding officials looked at Li Xinchen in surprise, they could imagine how much help and benefit Li Xinchen put forward such a plan for Chen Shubao, but they didn't expect that Chen Shubao would directly express his trust in Li Xinchen in this simplest way.
Between superiors and subordinates, it is not so easy to call the table character, which shows that Chen Shubao has regarded Li Xinchen as half a cronie in his heart.
Li Xinchen came back to his senses, stepped forward and said: "The troops of the Zhou State stationed in Bashu are not much, mainly concentrated in Chengdu Mansion, Jiange and other important towns and passes in Bashu, as we all know, the terrain of Bashu is dangerous, as long as you control these important towns and passes, you will actually control most of Bashu. ”
After a pause, Li Xinchen's hand then pointed west from Shinshu, obviously he had already done his homework:
"From Shinshu to the west, it is now the summer rainy season, and the water above the river is abundant, enough for the Huanglong big ship to pass, so we can cross Xiling and go straight to Padang. Although the barbarians have stationed heavy troops in the area of Badong, most of the so-called 'heavy soldiers' are recruited local mountain people and poor children, and they do not have much sense of belonging to the barbarians, and looking at the whole of Bashu, the generals who have been famous for a long time are not there, so these defenders in Badong are not afraid at all. ”
Immediately afterwards, Li Xinchen stretched out his hand from Badong to Chengdu: "Although the time for the barbarians to take Bashu is not short, but its attention has been in the east and south, for Bashu actually still relies on local heroes, once our army presses the border, not to mention that everyone in these places will stand on our side, but there will definitely be people who come to take refuge, and as long as we promise benefits, the entire Chengdu will be under our control!" ”
The eyes of Xiao Maha and the others were blazing, looking at the direction and location pointed by Li Xinchen on the map, which was a place they had never thought of before and did not dare to imagine.
I'm afraid that the people of the Northern Zhou Dynasty will not think of it.
