Chapter 219: Ji Nan

Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is this true?" ”

The general hurriedly kowtowed a few heads at Li Xinchen: "Even if the small one is a hundred dares, he will not dare to deceive, and please show mercy to all the old men of Da Chen, the small ones are old and young, if they die like this, who will feed the family!" ”

Li Xinchen sneered, he had heard too many such words, but he did not pity this general. In the troubled times, there are more such situations, Li Xinchen pities him, who will pity Li Xinchen?

However, Li Xinchen will not despise this general, after all, what everyone is doing in this kind of war between the North and the South is just fame and fortune, in order to be able to have a place to live in this chaos, everyone has their own way of living, and Li Xinchen will not sneer at the rest of the people because of different ways of living.

It's just someone else's choice.

And Chen Zhishen also looked at it at this time, as long as Li Xinchen nodded, he would not hesitate to kill this general on the spot. Compared with Li Xinchen, Chen Zhishen, who was killed by the sea of corpses and blood, took such words begging for mercy as a deaf ear, and such a soft-boned enemy was not worthy of his respect at all.

"Keep it, just let him lead the way." Li Xinchen waved his hand, although this person is not a big official, but he is somewhat familiar with the situation in Ji Nancheng, such a captive is better than nothing.

"If you kid dare to think crookedly, be careful that Lao Tzu will directly take your life." Chen Zhishen said coldly, taking away the knife around his neck.

This building kowtowed again and again with gratitude, and Li Xinchen impatiently asked Chen Zhishen to take him down, and turned to look at Li Ping: "Clean up, we can go back." ”

"There seem to be a lot of big fish in this Ji Nan City." Xiao Shilian held a grass stalk in his mouth and looked at the inconspicuous earth city in the wasteland in the distance.

Ji Nan City is the capital of Chu in the pre-Qin period, Chu State took this city as the capital for 400 years, it was the first city in the south at that time, and it was also the first strong city, and it was a symbol of the prosperity and strength of Chu State.

However, later this city was destroyed by the hands of Bai Qi, and the later Chu people moved to the south of Ji ten miles to the south, which is now Jiangling City. And the old city was abandoned because of this.

Although Ji Nan City still maintains the grand scale of the year, it is still too dilapidated compared to the fortified cities of later generations such as Jiangling and Gong'an.

Hearing Xiao Shilian's emotion, Li Xinchen bowed slightly: "If that general is telling the truth, then all the big fish in Xiliang are here, and there are only a thousand Xiliang Janissaries to protect them, you must have seen it, but it is just a group of soft-footed shrimp that have not been on the battlefield, and it is not worth mentioning." ”

Xiao Shilian spit out the grass stalk in his mouth: "Shizhong, why are you so sure before, there are really big fish in this Jinan City?" ”

At this time, Pei Zilie, who was whispering an offensive strategy in the back, also turned around, obviously Xiao Shilian's question also aroused his curiosity.

At the beginning of Jiangling City, Li Xinchen's strategy was to bypass Jiangling City and go straight to Jinan. After all, whether the Xiliang royal family has really retreated to Jinan City, or will break through from Jiangling to the north in the future, this is a must-pass place.

And in order to get here, they also really put a lot of effort into it. After all, more than 3,000 people went directly from the side of Jiangling City to the north with such fanfare, which would definitely attract Lu Teng's attention, and as long as Lu Teng was not stupid, he would naturally be able to guess the whereabouts of this army, and even if the Xiliang royal family was really hiding in Jinan City, they would get the news in advance and retreat.

Therefore, Li Xinchen deliberately designed a route to the west first, and then to the north, it seems that the road is ten miles, and they really went around fifteen or sixteen miles before they came to this place. Because of this, whether it is Xiao Shilian or Pei Zilie, they are still somewhat worried.

Everyone worked hard, and in the end, if they got nothing, they had no way to explain to the people below.

Li Xinchen couldn't help but shrug his shoulders: "This Ji Nancheng played an irreplaceable role in the great battle nine years ago. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Shilian was stunned, although he did not personally participate in the battle of the Western Liang attack nine years ago, he still knew the details very well, "Yes, at that time, Sikong led the army to Jiangling City, so Xiao Yue took the royal family of the Western Liang to hide in Jinan City, and joined the Northern Zhou barbarians who rushed to support, and was protected one step earlierΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Nine years ago, after Wu Mingche quelled the Huajiao rebellion, he galloped all the way to the city of Jiangling.

In order to prevent the Xiliang regime that had been built up with great difficulty from being swallowed by Nan Chen, Tian Hong, a famous general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who was the governor of Jiangling at the time, discussed with the king of Xiliang Zhu, and selected elite soldiers to escort Xiao Yue to the north and hid in the old city of Jinan, but fortunately, Jiangling was not taken later, and Xiao Yue was able to return to Jiangling from Jinan City.

Pei Zilie interrupted Xiao Shilian: "I've also considered this, but Shizhong, are you so sure that Xiao Yue will come to Ji Nancheng this time?" ”

Li Xinchen narrowed his eyes and looked around: "This Ji Nan City is located in the wilderness, and there are almost no roads around it, if we don't have a veteran who participated in the big battle nine years ago, and we have scouts extensively, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find this place." ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen continued: "What's more, most of the camps and villages around this Jiangling are empty, and most of them are not protected by city walls. ”

"This is also true, this Ji Nan City was built as the capital of the country when it was built, the city is high and the pool is deep, even now, it is not easy to attack this city wall." Xiao Shilian said helplessly, "This Ji Nan City, which is protected by the city wall and is not easy to find, is much better than other places. ”

Pei Zilie also snorted: "Actually, for Xiao Yue, what is more important is that this Ji Nancheng is not far from Jiangling, if the Northern Zhou army arrives in time to relieve the siege, he can return to Jiangling quickly, even if Jiangling is really taken by us, he can escape to Zhangchuan County or even Xiangyang in time." ”

Thinking of something, Pei Zilie turned to look at Li Xinchen: "How much time do we have?" ”

"I asked, the general said that the time for each of their teams to come out to post was two hours, and it was okay when we met them just now, but only half an hour had passed, plus the delay after that, it is estimated that we have to do it within half an hour, so as not to attract the attention of the city." Li Xinchen said lightly.

Pei Zilie nodded and said in a deep voice: "Attack!" ”
