Chapter 368: Fuling has been decided
These Tuntian veterans only care about whether they can get some in the end, and whether the rest of the grain is given to Nan Chen or Northern Zhou, how much does it have to do with them?
Therefore, they are saying that they are reluctant to give up food, but they are actually persuading Cheng Feng to do what he can, and now he keeps these grains, once Bajun is taken down by Li Xinchen, everyone also has a bargaining chip that can surrender to Li Xinchen, right?
Cheng Feng, who has never been on the battlefield in his life, also understands the intentions of these veterans who get along day and night, but he is still somewhat unwilling.
The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and after being the captain of Tuntian for so long and a Taishou who no one cares about, Cheng Feng can be said to have too many expectations for the war, but the war presented in front of him now is obviously cruel, and the cruelty makes him basically have no strength to compete with the enemy, so it is impossible for him not to be entangled and hesitate.
"What's that?" Suddenly, a guard shouted in surprise from the side.
And Cheng Feng and the old soldiers all looked up in surprise. On the official road, which was not spacious, dozens of cavalry were rushing towards this side, and behind them, smoke and dust were billowing and dust, and I don't know how many foot soldiers followed closely.
A big red flag was waving in the wind, and the flag was embroidered with a big "Xiao" character, which could be clearly seen even if you stood on this hillside.
South Chen Fenwei General Xiao Shilian.
The surrounding Tuntian soldiers exhaled softly, more precisely, they let out a sigh, as for how many emotions were contained in this sigh, I am afraid that only they can understand. And Cheng Feng's frowning brows couldn't help but let go at this moment.
No matter why Xiao Shilian appeared here with a large army, Cheng Feng knew that these unmotivated Tuntian pawns under his command were not opponents for a round at all.
In an instant, he felt a sense of relief, at least he didn't have to hesitate about what to choose later, because when the flag appeared, he had no choice.
Reaching out and touching the seal ribbon hanging from his waist, Cheng Feng should be concerned about whether this seal ribbon belongs to him now.

"Congratulations to the general, the army has swept away, and Fuling has surrendered without a fight." Holding this battle report in his hand, Li Ping said to Li Xinchen with a smile.
Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows, and while reaching out to take the battle report, he glared at him fiercely: "When did you kid learn to slap horses like this?" ”
Li Ping hurriedly made a look of sincere fear and waited aside, and Li Xinchen didn't bother to care about this kid who was obviously joking with himself, and reached out to push open the hatch of the cabin.
The green mountains are sandwiched between the banks, and the mighty river has been restrained by the green mountains, and the turbulent whirlwind. If it weren't for the huge size of the ships of the Nanchen Naval Division, and the fact that these naval generals were all veterans, Li Xinchen was really worried about whether he would be able to successfully trace the river.
Compared with later generations, the hydrological conditions of the upper reaches of the river are very different, and even the river direction of several major tributaries is different, and the names are not the same. Moreover, the time for people to explore the river is still short, and it is undoubtedly an unfamiliar road for Nan Chen Shuishi, so it is already very good to be able to move forward step by step.
"General." Dai Cai and Cao Zhong came together, and saw Li Xinchen hurriedly saluting.
"Seeing that the general is happy, Fuling has been taken?" Dai Cai was the first to ask.
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, and handed the battle report to the two of them: "That Cheng Feng only has a few hundred Tuntian soldiers under him, and now the roads in all directions of Fuling have been cut off by us, as long as he is not stupid, of course he knows what to do." ”
"Fuling is the land of Ba County, and a lot of the grain in the southern county comes from Fuling, and if the general can take Fuling, it can be regarded as completely pocketing the east of Ba County." Dai Cai was not surprised that the Battle of Fuling had this result.
He has been in Yong'an for more than ten years, and of course he is familiar with these people in the officialdom of Ba County, Cheng Feng was originally a person with a stable personality, or even more honest, otherwise he would not have been allowed to come to Fuling Tuntian. Therefore, Dai Cai did not believe that Cheng Feng had the courage to resist after Xiao Shilian's army appeared.
"The mountains further south of Fuling are the territory of the Pu people, right?" Li Xinchen rubbed his chin slightly, "This is also the first time that we are so close to the territory of the Ba people." ”
The Pu people are the larger of the eight Ba people, and compared to the brave and easy to kill Ban Yuman, the Pu people are more docile, otherwise it would not be possible to gain a foothold in such a place so close to Ba County. Of course, no matter how docile the Ba people are, they are still barbarian tribes after all, especially for the Northern Zhou, and they are not friends.
Therefore, the Northern Zhou Dynasty specifically transferred the county administration of Fuling from Fuling County to Hanping County, which was closer to the mountains in the south, in order to prevent the Pu and Han people from competing for the few arable land and plains.
However, for Li Xinchen, the enemy of the enemy is an out-and-out friend, so now taking Fuling County is equivalent to opening the window to the Ba people.
Of course, if Fuling's role is only like this, then Li Xinchen can't be so aggressive, he only needs to send a partial division of two or three hundred people to capture Fuling - Cheng Feng will not resist, Dai Cai has given an accurate answer before - and there is no need for Xiao Shilian to lead more than 2,000 people to rush over.
"From Fuling to Ba County, the road is unimpeded." Li Xinchen couldn't help but whisper, with a smile in his voice.
And Cao Zhong and Dai Cai glanced at each other, and they both saw the relaxed look on each other's faces.
Taking Fuling can be regarded as completing the first step, and a good start is a good sign.
"General Qiyu, there is the Boar Rock in front!" Wang Chang walked over quickly and said with his hand.
Li Xinchen subconsciously looked up, just on the right bank of the river in front of him, the mountain suddenly rose up, and a big rock probed into the river, steep and rugged, really like a wild boar blocking the road. Just behind this boulder, the green hills are faint, hidden in the clouds and mist, and only vague outlines can be seen.
This is the Wild Boar Rock, after this Wild Boar Rock, the river turns abruptly to the north, enters the Causeway Gorge, and on the right side of the river is the Old Crow Mountain.
"The camp of the defenders of Ba County should be built on the east side of this Old Crow Mountain." Dai Cai stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain that could already be seen in the distance, "Now General Chen must have arrived at the bottom of the mountain." ”
"Chen Zhishen and Lu Zhiwu don't have to worry about us yet, the two of them will be able to grasp the square inch," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, and turned to look at Wang Chang, "Have you ever found traces of the enemy?" ”
Wang Chang also showed a solemn look on his face, and shook his head: "Not yet, but since our spies can be sure that the enemy's sailors have been dispatched, then they will definitely not take a walk outside Bajun City, and it is undoubtedly the best choice to guard the Causeway Gorge and echo the enemy's camp in Lao Ya Mountain." ”
Dai Cai and Cao Zhong also subconsciously looked up at the wild boar rock in front of them.
If, according to Wang Chang, you should see the enemy if you go around the boar rock.
