Li Xinchen turned to look at Cheng Feng: "Cheng Feng! ”

"The last general!" Cheng Feng hit a spirit. He's actually the most awkward of all. Cao Zhong followed Li Xinchen into Shu, and was originally Li Xinchen's cronies; And Dai Cai, not to mention, before Li Xinchen was able to make up his mind to soar all the way from White Emperor City to Shu County, his command was indispensable.

It can be said that Cao Zhong is Li Xinchen's left arm and right arm, and Dai Cai is the springboard for Li Xinchen to completely occupy the entire Ba County, both of whom are heroes and indispensable people under Li Xinchen. And he Cheng Feng is different, he took refuge in Xiao Shilian at that time, not Li Xinchen, who took refuge directly.

Later, although he also participated in the battle of Ba County, but after all, he only blocked Wangjiangtai with a partial division and blocked the way for Zhang He to retreat - in fact, Zhang He did not plan to open the door and escape at all, for Zhang He at that time, Ba County was lost, and the hard work of his life was lost, and he had no idea of running away at all.

Therefore, in the battle of Bajun, Cheng Feng can be said to have made no achievements. Later, for the sake of insurance, Li Xinchen asked Chen Zhishen to replace him in command of Wangjiangtai's army, so now Cheng Feng's identity is very embarrassing in Li Xinchen's military system.

However, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this, Li Xinchen took him seriously, but he would feel that something was wrong. After all, Cheng Feng was a demoted general, and he didn't belong to this group in the first place, so he didn't think that he could easily integrate into this group.

Tang Zhengliang, who is the same identity as him, has already made their own achievements. Needless to say, Tang Zhengliang and Tang Yishun ensured that the entire Xiajiang Tang clan was on Li Xinchen's side, thus giving Li Xinchen too much support in terms of economy, manpower, etc.

Compared to them, Cheng Feng obviously has nothing to praise, he needs enough merit to prove himself.

Therefore, when he heard Li Xinchen call his name, his eyes were also full of excitement.

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance: "All the mountain cities outside Hezhou City have been handed over to you, and a certain will allocate two thousand soldiers and horses to you, and the trebuchet and bed crossbow may not be able to give much, but a certain does not require you to be able to storm the city, as long as you can cut off the road for communicating news between mountain cities." ”

Cheng Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Li Xinchen meant.

Li Xinchen's task seems to be easy, but in fact it is not so easy to control. He was ready to kill chickens to show the monkeys, so Li Xinchen obviously didn't plan to pile up these monkeys in the mountain city with human lives.

Therefore, Li Xinchen needed to ensure that the news of the rapid breakthrough of the northern part of Hezhou City reached these mountain cities, but he could not let them communicate with each other, so as to re-maintain the defense network that had little to do with the main city of Hezhou.

Even if there are really stubborn people in these mountain towns, then Cheng Feng will definitely take the lead to clean them up.

From the perspective of the entire Hezhou raider, the main city of Hezhou is actually not important, what matters is these mountain cities around Hezhou, so don't look at Cao Zhong and Dai Cai, they are responsible for the heavy task of attacking the city, and the task represented by the general order that Cheng Feng is holding in his hand now is the most important.

This is a test given to him by Li Xinchen, and it is also a trust in him. And Cheng Feng knew very well that if he couldn't complete this task this time, Li Xinchen would definitely never give him such a chance in the future. This is the only chance, if you can't catch it, someone else will seize it and take your place completely.

"The last general will not fail in his mission." Cheng Feng hurriedly surrendered his hand.

Seeing Cheng Feng also stride away, Li Xinchen exhaled softly. And Pei Zilie, who had never spoken, said softly at this time: "Shizhong, it is a good choice for you to bring these three people out this time." ”

Obviously, Pei Zilie had already seen his arrangement, Li Xinchen shook his head with a smile: "Now it's not as good as it was at the beginning, you can do whatever you want, and now you have to be responsible for so many brothers, and you have to be responsible for these generals who follow you." You can't always focus your merits on one person, and it's a good thing to give them more opportunities to practice. ”

Pei Zilie was about to speak, but Li Ping walked over quickly with a document in his hand: "General, the Jiankang Mansion is in an emergency, and the Hussar General's Mansion has forwarded it." It's about the reward for the Battle of Bashire. ”

The smiles on Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie's faces suddenly froze, the two of them glanced at each other, Li Xinchen bowed slightly, and took the thing that was considered a holy decree, in fact, this was just the imperial court's instructions on the battle report submitted by Li Xinchen, and the real holy decree should have to wait for a while.

"Open it and take a look, since it was forwarded by the general, and it didn't inform us before, it should be expected." Pei Zilie said in a deep voice.

However, the solemn look on his face did not dissipate because of this, because there was another possibility that he did not say it, that is, the court really blamed it, and the weight of the crime had reached the point of irrefutable and irreparable, so Xiao Maha simply did not bother with this effort.

Li Xinchen took a deep breath and watched the battle report he had written slip out of the weight of the envelope that had been warped. At the end of the battle report, there was a short instruction from Chen Ji.

"All the merits of the war are as invited, and the other Li and Xiao have broken through Ba County, and they have meritorious deeds, and they will be compromised, and they will not be promoted, they will not be degraded, and they will be rewarded with gold and silver."

Pei Zilie felt that his heartbeat and breathing suddenly stopped at this moment, and it took a long time before he recovered as before.

Li Xinchen slowly closed the battle report.

The result Chen Ji gave him was even better than he expected.

Could it be that the suspicious emperor really intended to let himself go like this? His reward clearly means that Li Xinchen has actual control over Ba County. As for Li Xinchen's current identity, it doesn't matter.

Chen Xuan obviously did not intend to continue to appoint officials to Ba County, and rewarded and appointed these officials recommended by Li Xinchen.

In this way, for Li Xinchen himself, whether it is General Dangkou, General Sizhen or even Dasikong, with this instruction, Li Xinchen is already the de facto owner of Ba County.

What's more, now that Li Xinchen is too young, he is already very satisfied with the official title of General Dangkou. The height is unbearable, Li Xinchen doesn't want to go to a higher level early, but he faces a more tricky enemy.

"Go and transcribe the news and quickly notify the ministries." Li Xinchen waved his hand and handed the battle report to Li Ping, "Let everyone be happy." ”

While speaking, Li Xinchen's gaze had already turned to Pei Zilie's side.

The corners of Pei Zilie's mouth outlined a smile. He could feel the ease and smugness in Li Xinchen's eyes, and sighed secretly in his heart. The battlefield that Li Xinchen needs to face has never been one, but two at home and abroad.

At least at this time, on the battlefield with his own people, he was victorious.

The next thing to look at is the battle of Hezhou.

Behind Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie, the drumming suddenly stopped.

In the next moment, ten thousand arrows are fired!
