Wei Chi Yuan, who was lying on the sickbed, looked extremely weak, and could only barely support it, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't want to discuss the war with Wei Xiaokuan the day before yesterday.

"Brother Wei Chi, lie down!" Seeing that Wei Chi Yu wanted to sit up, Wei Xiaokuan anxiously pressed his hand and took a few steps forward.

Wei Chi Yuan's face was a little pale, he coughed lightly, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's not in the way, the boys always like to exaggerate, how long can the old man's body support, the old man knows in his heart, he has to live to the age of Brother Wei." ”

Wei Xiaokuan bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Brother Wei Chi is seriously ill, and he can't rest assured, so he rushed over to visit." Seeing that Brother Wei Chi was still in good spirits, the old man was relieved. ”

Wei Chi smiled to himself, he looked energetic, but it was just a strong fighting spirit, but Wei Xiaokuan didn't want to demolish him.

"The battle situation is unfavorable, Brother Wei Chi must also know. This Li Xinchen has more calculations than we imagined, obviously he wants to have a good competition with the two of us old guys in this Tiangong Courtyard Mountain. Wei Xiaokuan said in a deep voice.

Wei Chi Yu didn't answer in a hurry, but pursed his lips slightly.

The battle situation is unfavorable, and he and Wei Xiaokuan both know that the fundamental reason is not only because Li Xinchen has laid many traps, but also because of the disagreement between the two armies.

Thinking of this, Wei Chi looked at Wei Xiaokuan gratefully, Wei Xiaokuan was able to come, in fact, it was beyond his expectations, after all, this was Wei Xiaokuan taking the initiative to extend a helping hand to Wei Chi Yuan, how many political storms might be involved behind it, everyone knew it.

But Wei Xiaokuan still came.

"Ahem!" Thinking of this, Wei Chi Yu coughed lightly twice.

And Wei Xiaokuan stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop, not letting Wei Chi Yuan open his mouth more, and said lightly: "There are all kinds of complicated reasons, and this Li Xinchen is not a master to deal with, so now the old man thinks that he can only slowly try it out to prevent changes." ”

Wei Chi Zhen bowed slightly, he knew very well that this "to prevent change" was not aimed at Li Xinchen, but between the two armies. This delicate balance that the two men struggle to maintain is best not to be broken.

"The old man has already heard about the matter of Micang Road, and the old man will ask his baggage battalion to allocate grain and grass, and Brother Wei Chi can rest assured that he will recuperate." Wei Xiaokuan hesitated for a moment, but still said what worried Wei Chi the most, "Many matters will be properly resolved by the old man, as long as both of us can restrain our subordinates and fight the enemy together, the palace will not be able to hold on for seven days." ”

Wei Xiaokuan's words were not finished, but Wei Chi knew what he meant.

What he was most worried about was the contradictions between the two armies, after all, some contradictions and suspicions would only get deeper and deeper with time.

Wei Chi was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Is there no progress on the Mianzhu Pass side?" ”

"Although Pei Zilie does not have so many intrigues and tricks as Li Xinchen, he is also a good guard, plus Mianzhu Pass is a natural male pass and guards the passage, so it is difficult to open the road directly for a while." Wei Xiaokuan said after consideration, no matter what, it was his son who attacked Mianzhu Pass, Wei Shou was just fighting back and forth with Pei Zilie in Lutou Mountain in the past few days, and there was indeed not much progress, so Wei Xiaokuan could only speak more tactfully.

After a pause, Wei Xiaokuan said slowly: "The old man has sent a large number of scouts in the direction of Shu County, Li Xinchen must be on guard in the mountain roads everywhere, but the old man doesn't think that he can stop so many scouts, there must be one or two people who can arrive in Shu County and find out the situation in Shu County." Now whether it is Mianzhuguan or Tiangongyuan, the ultimate goal is for Shu County. ”

"There has been no news from Shu County for many days," Wei Chi Yu slowly leaned back on the bed, his voice full of worry, "The old man is also worried." ”

Wei Xiaokuan turned around and looked at the opposite wall, where there was a map, it was obvious that Wei Chi could see the situation on the map even if he was sitting on the bed, and after looking at it for a while, Wei Xiaokuan said in a deep voice: "Brother Yu Chi, don't worry, it will be fine." ”

Wei Chi nodded slowly, and then said: "The old man will order all the departments to prepare for the attack, and this battle cannot stop for a moment!" ”

"Brother Wei Chi's body ······" Wei Xiaokuan was somewhat worried.

Wei Chi Zhen smiled: "I can hold it, I think that I have to compete with that Li Xinchen no matter what, and the old man has to support everything he says." Moreover, the children are not sensible, and there may be conflicts and offenses, and they have to make amends to Brother Wei. ”

Wei Xiaokuan didn't say anything, just turned around and solemnly bowed his hand.

——————————————--

Li Xinchen held the candlestick in his hand and stood in front of the sand table, the firelight burning beside him, reflecting his face flickering and darkening.

It was already nightfall, and the battle under the mountain had not stopped, especially the Wei Chi Yuan's troops, who had no signs of attacking during the day, suddenly came to life as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and launched a formation at dusk, directly fighting with torches and lanterns.

Although he was taken aback by Wei Chi Yuan's formation, Dai Cai still did not let Li Xinchen disappoint and stabilized his position, and slowly retreated like Cao Zhong on another mountain, not giving Wei Chi Hui any chance to wipe out the main force under the mountain.

And Wei Chi Hui seemed to be satisfied with occupying the foot of the mountain, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops. In this way, the progress of the two armies was once again in unison, and then the scouts began to move forward as usual. However, as the defensive line gradually shifted towards the mountains, the movement of these scouts was not so easy.

"When the enemy becomes good, he will take it?" Li Xinchen looked at the sand table for a long time before raising his head.

Standing in front of him were Cao Zhong and Dai Cai, these two generals had fought a lot, and they could see splashes of blood on their armor, although they had an unconcealable look of exhaustion on their faces, but their eyes were shining.

With thousands of people to resist the attack of tens of thousands of people, for them, this was something they never dared to imagine before, but now Li Xinchen has done it.

It's an honor to be in the middle of a battle like this.

Hearing Li Xinchen's question, the two of them bowed their heads at the same time, Cao Zhong considered and said: "It seems that the enemy is no longer in a hurry to start attacking, but is just pressing step by step, so that their array is complete, crossbowmen and trebuchets always keep walking with the array, many of our trebuchets and bed crossbows are immediately exposed by the enemy's trebuchets to deal with, after all, we still have fewer guys in our hands, and it won't be long before they are all consumed." ”

Li Xinchen nodded, this is also expected, Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Yuan are not fools, and they can guess how many "surprises" they prepared for them after suffering a loss for the first time.

And when it came to this, Xiao Shilian walked in quickly, and said with some excitement: "Shizhong, I just received the news, Wei Chi Yuan seems to be sick, and our scouts saw Wei Xiaokuan go to visit, and only brought a few personal guards. ”
