Since he was only a newcomer, it would definitely be more difficult for Li Xinchen to get news directly from the family and barbarians than to ascend to the sky, so Dai Cai's existence was very important.

What's more, Li Xinchen has also seen Dai Cai's ability, so he obviously doesn't plan to let go of this person. Although there are enough generals in Li Xinchen's system now, the number of subordinates has always been too little, not too much, not to mention subordinates like Dai Cai, who are old and stable and familiar with the situation in Sichuan and Shu, Li Xinchen is very lacking here.

And Dai Cai, of course, is not a fool, Li Xinchen's meaning has been expressed very clearly, what he needs is not a subordinate loyal to Nan Chen, but a subordinate loyal to him.

Dai is the general who surrendered to Li Xinchen, and of course he didn't expect to be able to gain the attention of the Nanchen court, so if he wanted to continue to move forward, the only thing he could do was to hug Li Xinchen's thigh tightly.

As long as Li Xinchen does not fall, then he will have a bright road to go.

Seeing that Li Xinchen seemed to want to think about something for himself, Dai Cai retired directly because he knew each other. And Li Xinchen only bowed slightly, casually reaching out and flipping through the account book handed over by Dai Cai, in fact, his eyes kept staring at the map on the wall.

On the huge Bashu map, only Yong'an is circled in red symbolizing Nanchen. And outside Yong'an, the whole Bashu is incomparably vast.

"There's too little land." Li Xinchen sighed heavily.

Whether it was to gain the support of the local nobles and barbarians, or to have enough food and grass, he had to continue to fight.

————————————-

The left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps disaster.

Since getting up in the morning, Tang Yishun, the Taishou of Wanchuan County, always feels that everything is not going well today, and when Tang Yishun looks up at the sky when he walks up to the city gate, the sky in Wanchuan County is also gloomy, heavy as lead on his heart.

However, he didn't think that there would really be anything difficult to make him worry, the Wanchuan Tang family was originally a local wealthy family, and Tang Yishun's ability to become this Taishou was of course a compromise by the imperial court to the family. And there are not many people who have the courage to challenge the Tang clan on this one-third of an acre.

What's more, in the entire Ba County, the Tang family is also a first-class family, and unlike the rest of the traditional families, the Tang family is a martial arts family, and the tentacles of the whole family cover all aspects of the entire Ba County, because the Tang family specifically says which one is stronger, it is really impossible to say, so the locals like to call it "Xiajiang Tang Clan" in general.

The Wanchuan Tang Clan is just a branch of the entire Xiajiang Tang Clan. Therefore, even if you have the strength to provoke the Tang clan in Linjiang, you have to think about the Xiajiang Tang clan standing behind the Wanchuan Tang clan.

"Taishou, why are you here?" There are only two or three hundred defenders in Wanchuan County, and a total of one battle lord is leading, and this battle lord's surname is Huang, and he is also from a small local family, but he doesn't dare to take a stand against the Tang clan who is like a snake on the ground.

"I feel panicked in my heart, go up to the city and take a walk, blowing the wind." Tang Yishun said with a smile, he is not a person who likes to put on a show, not to mention that this Wanchuan County is not the Wanchuan County of the Wanchuan Tang family after all, in order to maintain the status of the Tang family here, of course, Tang Yishun can't not give the rest of the families in the city a good look at every turn.

"Please." Lord Huang hurriedly responded.

Tang Yishun bowed slightly, and when he wanted to hold on to the battlements to take a look at the scenery under the city, a sharp-eyed soldier exclaimed: "There are people over there!" ”

Huang Zhan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the soldier's finger, a pillar of smoke rose in the sky, and it was obvious that someone was coming quickly to this side. And Tang Yishun frowned: "Who is here?" ”

Before his words fell, the fluttering flags could already be seen in the smoke and dust, and the Yellow Lord reflexively shouted: "It's the army, prepare for war!" ”

Originally, Tang Yishun, the Taishou, rarely went to the city to blow the wind, and by the way, he inspected the city defense, which made the Yellow Lord a little nervous, but now there was such a sudden change, which made him cheer up his spirit, who knows whether this army that suddenly appeared is friend or foe, and in the case that he can't even see the color on the flag clearly from a distance, he must be fully prepared.

Could it be that those Ba people in the mountains are not honest, or Dai of Yong'an City has nothing to do and sent scouts to go around the rest of the city?

Needless to say, the Ba people in the mountains have a deep hatred for the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but they still have a lot of connections with the deep-rooted local families such as the Tang clan and the Huang clan, and even in order to ensure that the Ba people do not harass the surrounding cities too much, these families also privately send grain, grass and daily necessities to the Ba people, otherwise these Ba people would not have been able to stay in the mountains for so long.

And the latter is even more impossible. Lord Huang also knew that Dai was the most dishonest of the generals of the surrounding county garrisons, but he was also a rule-abiding person, and the training army would not train all the way to Wanchuan County.

"Prepare for war!" The generals shouted loudly in panic, this was actually their first time in actual combat, and it was impossible not to be nervous.

The originally lazy county soldiers in the city also ran to the battle positions in embarrassment, and the previously prepared sandalwood rolling stones were moved out of the city tower, and the crossbows guarding the city bed also lifted off the rain cloth on them, revealing their hideous figures.

However, although these city-guarding crossbows have been covered with rain cloths, they are still covered with dust, and they don't need to think about it to know that they must have not been used for many years, and the face of the Yellow Lord suddenly became a little ugly. And Tang Yishun also frowned, he even had reason to doubt whether these things could still be used.

And just when the city was in chaos, that group of men and horses had already arrived under the city, and the only thing that made the defenders feel easy was probably the banner in this army or the cyan banner of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

"Hurry up and open the door in the city, we are the defenders of the White Emperor City!" A shout came from under the city, which immediately relieved the generals in the city.

Just when Lord Huang was muttering about what the hell this Dai Cai was doing, and was about to order the door to be opened, Tang Yishun stretched out his hand and stopped him:

"Wait!"

"Taishou?"

"Ask them why they came, if there was no order, no army would have been able to cross the border so arrogantly, and looking at their messy armor and banners, it was clear that they had lost the battle." Tang Yishun is not the first time to be on the battlefield, the last time Lu Teng killed the Quartet in Bashu, although he was still young, he had also observed on the battlefield as a representative of the family.

It's just that last time he was a spectator, and now he's the manager.

Only then did Lord Huang realize that he was too careless, and beads of sweat unconsciously slid down his forehead, and shouted loudly: "Why did you come to Wanchuan County, Captain Dai Du can be in the army?" ”

A general came out of the crowd, and there was already a cry in his voice: "The White Emperor City was broken by the Chen people!" Dai Duwei and the rest of the brothers are trapped in the city, and the White Emperor City is already the territory of the Chen State! ”

Another general also shouted on the side: "I was ordered to patrol outside the city, and when we saw that the situation was wrong, we didn't dare to attack the White Emperor City, so we could only retreat all the way to Wanchuan and open the city gate!" ”

"White Emperor City has been breached?!" Huang Zhanzhu and Tang Yishun's faces changed greatly, and they subconsciously glanced at each other, with unconcealed horror on their faces.
