Chapter 579: Trapped Beast
At that time, Wei Xiaokuan had a large number of soldiers and horses, and Wei Chi Zhen was few, plus the defenders on the Sword Pavilion were in Wei Xiaokuan's system, so the previous Cangxi Valley war defense was actually presided over by Wei Xiaokuan, and Wei Chi Yuan only made a few suggestions at most, after all, he needed to be responsible for the aftermath and guard against possible attacks from the Tiangong Courtyard.
Therefore, now Cao Xiaoda said that there was a problem with the arrangement of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty in the Cangxi Valley war, which was clearly saying that Wei Xiaokuan's arrangement was problematic.
Wei Xiaokuan raised his eyebrows, not knowing what Cao Xiaoda wanted to express, but he still said in a deep voice: "Even if you say it." โ
Cao Xiaoda bowed his head slightly, and took a breath: "General, my subordinates thought that it was wrong to block all roads and checkpoints in order to trap Li Xinchen in the mountains at the beginning, and the facts have also proved that this is just to disperse our forces even more, and Li Xinchen can easily cut off the connection between the checkpoints, so as to eat us up little by little." โ
Wei Xiaokuan frowned, but did not interrupt Cao Xiaoda, his arrangement was approved by many people, including Wei Chi Yuan, at the beginning, after all, when facing an enemy with few troops and scattered, this tactic of locking key places and patrolling back and forth through patrols to form a large net, so that any enemy who broke into it could not escape, has always been very effective.
Wei Xiaokuan didn't expect Li Xinchen to fall into this net at that time, this arrangement was actually more to deter Li Xinchen, after all, Wei Xiaokuan's real purpose was to safely withdraw from the Langzhong region, which had lost its strategic significance.
However, in fact, Li Xinchen not only crashed headlong into this heaven and earth net, but also tore this heaven and earth net to pieces.
After a pause, Cao Xiaoda said in a deep voice: "Now that our troops have been almost consumed, this tactic will definitely not work, so a certain general thinks that we should turn to key defense, and at the same time, we can even try to lure Li Xinchen to attack us, so as to judge Li Xinchen's purpose clearly." โ
Wei Xiaokuan didn't rush to answer this question, just reached out and tapped lightly on the table.
And Cao Xiaoda raised his head slightly, just in time to meet Wei Xiaokuan's eyes.
How to command, how to operate, in fact, Cao Xiaoda still didn't say,
"Good." Wei Xiaokuan just said one word, and then turned his head to look at the rest of the Northern Zhou generals, "The generals listen to the order!" โ
Whether they were willing or not, Wei Xiaokuan's generals took a step forward at the same time: "No! โ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ-
Li Xinchen stood quietly on the mountain, with no end in sight to the vast mountains.
Not far from the mountain where Li Xinchen is located is the mountain that Cui Hongdu is guarding at this time.
This guy is not stupid, he knows that there is no way to deal with the north-south attack of Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian in a place like Xujiagou, so he simply retreated to a mountain on the east side of Xujiagou.
Now the whole battle situation has become more and more chaotic, whether it is Wei Xiaokuan in the south or Cui Hongdu under Li Xinchen's nose, I am afraid they are trying to guess Li Xinchen's thoughts, but if they know that Li Xinchen is just standing here and watching the scenery now, I am afraid they will have to be so angry that they jump to their feet again and again.
"Shizhong," Xiao Shilian walked over quickly, looked at Li Xinchen's back, and said in a low voice, "The scouts over there in Changgu have already discovered Wei Xiaokuan's forward, and the main one will be Li Xun. โ
"As expected," Li Xinchen said lightly, and immediately turned to look at Xiao Shilian, "Wei Shou's body has already been sent back to Wei Xiaokuan?" โ
Xiao Shilian bowed slightly: "I selected two bold ones and sent them to the enemy's main village, and Wei Xiaokuan sent people to receive them, and there were no people who made it difficult for us." Return the corpse to him completely, Shizhong, you have already done your best, you must know that you don't have this head, and it will be more difficult to ask for credit with this. โ
In ancient times, the merits of the debate were all based on the first rank, so Li Xinchen could not take out Wei Shou's head, and this merit reward would naturally be greatly discounted. However, Li Xinchen just laughed lightly: "After this battle, isn't the credit of a certain person enough?" โ
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and then bowed slightly: "Yes, Shu County, Langzhong, plus this Cangxi Valley, you are a great hero of our Da Chen, and it is difficult for anyone to be better than you." But it's strange to sayยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"How?"
Xiao Shilian hesitated for a moment, but said helplessly: "The imperial court has begun to discuss and agree on the merits of Xiangyang and Huainan, but it is silent about us, you look at the battle report and recital copied by the General's Mansion, there is no part of us at all, could it be that my father is deliberately hiding from us and wants us to fight this battle well?" โ
"This is not the character of the Great General," Li Xinchen shook his head, "If there is really any good news, the Great General will definitely tell us as soon as possible." โ
"But the battle of Xiangyang has not ended, and it has already begun to discuss merit, why is there no matter of us, is it possible that the brothers fought and died in Tiangong Courtyard and Shu County before, and the imperial court plans not to see it?" Xiao Shilian was suddenly a little angry.
At this time, the footsteps behind him suddenly sounded, and Xiao Shilian subconsciously suppressed his voice.
"Boqing, your temper is still the same violent," Pei Zilie said with a smile. "It's not okay to be open-mouthed, there are no other outsiders here now, if you change to the imperial court in the future, you will be heartbroken if you say this."
Xiao Shilian snorted: "There is still a certain amount of proportion, not to mention Shizhong and Dashi, what do you say is wrong?" It's not just someone who thinks so, there are 10,000 people in our army, who doesn't think so from top to bottom, and you two don't have any opinions? โ
"Boqing!" Pei Zilie interrupted Xiao Shilian, a little dissatisfied.
Although Xiao Shilian didn't say anything more, he glared at Pei Zilie, and naturally there was no need to say much about what he meant. Pei Zilie originally wanted to say more, but he also knew that what Xiao Shilian said was the truth, so he could only sigh softly and shake his head.
The court is unkind, so naturally they can't be blamed for talking behind their backs. If you want to say that you are dissatisfied, it is not only Xiao Shilian, but also Pei Zilie himself. And the most aggrieved person is probably Li Xinchen who is standing in front of the two of them.
These battles were all planned by Li Xinchen, and the entire war was presided over by Li Xinchen, but the court did not say anything to Li Xinchen, and the most injustice should probably be Li Xinchen.
However, Li Xinchen obviously did not mean to continue the topic: "Dashi, everything has been arranged at the north entrance?" โ
Pei Zilie knew that Li Xinchen was diverting the topic, and nodded hurriedly at the moment: "Well, the captives have all been transported to Mianzhu Pass, including the previous ones." In addition, Chen Zhishen had already taken the soldiers and horses outside the Sword Pavilion, and presumably the defenders of the Sword Pavilion did not dare to act rashly. โ
Li Xinchen didn't answer, but turned to look at the vast mountain in front of him.
Wei Xiaokuan in the mountains is like a trapped beast, but I don't know how this trapped beast will struggle?
