The real combatable soldiers are actually the soldiers and horses in the hands of the mighty general Niu Hong.

These five or six thousand soldiers and horses have been stationed in Hanzhong for many years, and they are all locals recruited from Hanzhong, so their understanding of Hanzhong is even higher than that of Wei Xiaokuan, and the mighty general Niu Hong is a well-known leader among the young generation, of course, there is no way to compare with a demon like Li Xinchen, but the achievements of governing the local area and reorganizing the army over the years are also obvious to all.

This is also why Li Xun is not panicked, Li Xinchen's action is reasonable, or Li Xinchen's action at this time has already surprised Li Xun, this guy is really able to calm down, until he saw that the political struggle in the Northern Zhou Dynasty had reached the point of no return, and he began to do it.

But then again, if Li Xinchen doesn't do this, it will definitely not be Li Xinchen.

With these soldiers and horses under the command of the mighty general Niu Hong, although Li Xun could not guarantee the victory over Li Xinchen, he could still ensure that Hanzhong City and several fortresses in Hanzhong were in his own hands.

Hanzhong is located between Bashu and Guanzhong, and has always been the key point between the north and the south, and the key place that needs to be guarded in Hanzhong is not in Hanzhong City, Hanzhong City is located in the Chushui River Valley, which is not easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the real key is these mountains around Hanzhong, such as Micang Mountain, and such as the famous Dingjun Mountain. On the north side of Hanzhong, there are Chencang Road, Bao Shue Road, Meridian Valley and Yangping Pass.

As for the city itself, except that the city is taller, there is nothing outstanding, three hundred years ago, in order to be able to hold Hanzhong, Jiang Wei even had to build two independent cities in the Hanzhong River valley and the surrounding mountains, so as to be horns with Hanzhong City, in order to be able to stabilize the entire Hanzhong, but in the end, in the Jin army's devastating attack, these cities did not play much role, which makes people sigh.

There are so many stories in history surrounding these important roads and passes around Hanzhong. Darkness Chen Cang, Seven Out of Qishan, Meridian Valley Conspiracy······ It can be said that Hanzhong, as a battleground for soldiers, has never lacked stories, and there has never been a shortage of opportunities for heroes to show themselves.

Therefore, Li Xun's focus was not on Hanzhong City, he sent scouts to Shu Road early, closely monitored Li Xinchen's every move of soldiers and horses, and at the same time arranged more than 1,000 of his own soldiers and horses in Dingjun Mountain, and arranged one of Niu Hong's soldiers and horses in Yangping Pass, and he himself took his soldiers and horses to garrison on the shore of the water, wanting to block Li Xinchen with the water.

At the same time, the three armies of soldiers and horses can meet each other, and from south to north, they can hold the entire land of Chushui and Hanzhong.

At this time, Li Xun stood in front of the huge map, thoughtful.

Li Xinchen's soldiers and horses came too quickly, and the striker had already rushed out of Shu Road yesterday, and a few small camps stationed at the exit of Shu Road barely played a role in blocking it. This also made Li Xun even more afraid to underestimate the enemy.

"General." Niu Hong walked in quickly and bowed.

After Li Xun turned around and returned the salute, he made a gesture of please: "Li Ren, come and see, Li Xinchen's Xiao Shilian Department has now broken through the Shu Road and approached the water, and at the same time, there is also a partial division all the way from Langzhong to cross Micang Mountain and arrive at the foot of Dingjun Mountain." ”

Niu Hong was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly changed slightly. He finally knew why Li Xun was so anxious to find him, Li Xinchen said that he would do it, almost without any signs, if it wasn't for Niu Hong who had already known it from Yang Su before, I am afraid that he would be uneasy in his heart now.

"Dingjun Mountain will be in charge, and I'm afraid this water will rely on General Weilie a lot." Li Xun said solemnly.

Niu Hong nodded, he remembered what Yang Su told him when he left, no matter what, first stabilize Li Xun and then say: "Now that our army has spread out along the water and sent scouts in the direction of Shu Dao, it is impossible for the enemy to break through unless he brings in 10,000 people to attack." ”

Li Xun nodded, no matter whether Niu Hong could believe it or not, he could only choose to believe it. In fact, the task he gave Niu Hong was not too heavy.

In this era, the water is not as smooth as that of later generations, many times the violence of the water is no less than the big river, and the turbulent water must be led by an experienced old boatman, otherwise it is indispensable to turn people on their backs.

Therefore, a few ferries on the water are very important, and in the case that the sailor did not rush to support, how could it be so easy for Xiao Shilian to easily cross the water? Therefore, Niu Hong only needs to be able to keep an eye on Xiao Shilian.

As for the Dingjun Mountain Fortress that is really related to the hinterland of Hanzhong, it is obviously guarded by Li Xun himself, even if it is only a partial division coming forward, once this partial division breaks through the Dingjun Mountain defense line, then Li Xun may be even more defeated than Cao Mengde that day.

Hanzhong was lost, and the door of Guanzhong was wide open, and Li Xun couldn't afford to bear this responsibility.

Therefore, if Li Xun had to choose now, he would definitely still choose Dingjun Mountain. Xiao Shilian's opponent is not easy to deal with, not to mention that Xiao Shilian is likely to have Li Xinchen's command behind him.

As for what Li Xinchen is best at······ Li Xun, as a participant in the previous battle of Langzhong, knew that he would not let this guy find a chance to exploit loopholes.

This partial division from Micang Mountain doesn't seem to be important, and the number should not be large, but who can guarantee that this army is not composed of the most elite soldiers, and who can guarantee that they will not be Xiao Shilian's killer weapon?

Li Xun stared at the map tightly, and couldn't help muttering: "Xiao Shilian, I don't know where you will choose as the breakthrough point in the end?" ”

And Niu Hong looked at Li Xun's back and was silent.

Maybe Li Xun didn't know that this time Xiao Shilian didn't have any twists and turns, and there was no conspiracy, and it was Xiao Shilian's main force who took the avenue to directly kill Benshui and Hanzhong City, and the reason why he arranged a partial division was simply to attract Li Xun's attention. Because there are Yang Su and Niu Hong in Hanzhong City, Xiao Shilian doesn't need to make any noise at all, he just needs to push it over like this.

But it seems that this detachment has really played a role······ Thinking of Li Xinchen's previous style of using soldiers, Niu Hong couldn't help but sigh.

The advance of the regular army may be just a normal combat arrangement for others, but for Li Xinchen, why is it not a surprise soldier who breaks through his usual style?

The so-called "surprise soldier" is to break the convention, and when one's own combat ideas have become a routine with others, breaking this routine can naturally be called a "surprise soldier."

Thinking of this, Niu Hong couldn't help but shudder.

What kind of terrible opponent is Li Xinchen?

Li Xun said in a deep voice: "I will go to Dingjun Mountain on the same day, please here." ”

Niu Hong nodded, but sighed in his heart.

When you leave, Hanzhong will fight, and the outcome will be decided.
