Chapter 231: Why So-and-So
Li Xinchen shook his head, this kind of fight was just a useless waste of time.
Immediately, he stepped forward and stood between the two of them: "Okay, don't shout about the two of you, since this idea is from a certain one, you should lead your troops to the north, of course, a certain also knows that the two of you will definitely not let one person make the trip, so the two of you will draw lots." ”
"Lots?" Pei Zilie had a look like you were joking. How can such a life-and-death event be decided by drawing lots?
"Then draw lots, it's fairest." Xiao Shilian hurriedly said, he asked himself eloquence is not Pei Zilie's opponent, and as Pei Zilie said, no matter what, Pei Zilie is also his boss, and it is indeed undisciplined to contradict his boss.
Without waiting for Pei Zilie to answer, Li Xinchen directly tore two pieces of paper, ticked on one piece of paper, and then simply folded them into two neat lots, carrying Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie on his back to exchange them in the palm of his hand a few times before turning around.
Seeing that Li Xinchen had already written, although Pei Zilie was reluctant, he still compromised, although he was a general of Dianwei, he was more than one head taller than Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian, but in Pei Zilie's heart, he never really regarded the two of them as subordinates because of this, and now since the two of them have the same opinion, then he has nothing to say, and he made a gesture of please to Xiao Shilian at the moment.
Xiao Shilian took a breath lightly, took a step forward, and was about to choose, when he saw Li Xinchen's little finger of his right hand move slightly, and the hand that was originally stretched out to the left suddenly retracted, and instead took the one on the right, and directly handed the other one to Pei Zilie.
"You impatient," Pei Zilie shook his head helplessly, opened the lot in his hand, his face suddenly sank, and he shook the paper, "I'm a blank paper." ”
Xiao Shilian smiled, opened it with three times and five divided by two, which was the white paper with the hook.
Pei Zilie vaguely sensed something, and looked sideways at Li Xinchen, but after all, he still sighed and accepted his fate: "Go north to Zhangshan County, I don't know how many enemies there will be, and I don't know how long you will hold out, so I only took two hundred people to the south, and the rest of the brothers were all left to you." ”
After a pause, Pei Zilie felt that something was still wrong, and then said: "No, only bring a hundred people just in case, and give the rest to you, a little bit." ”
"We don't have to be that ······ at all" As soon as Xiao Shilian spoke, he was dragged by Li Xinchen.
"A hundred, is that okay?" Li Xinchen's face was quite heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. And Xiao Shilian wanted to say more, but when he saw Li Xinchen's face, he subconsciously closed his mouth.
"No problem," Pei Zilie said with a crisp bow, and turned to look at Xiao Shilian, "Boqing, this time going north is not trivial, it is definitely not as simple as crossing the river before us or entering Ji Nan, when we crossed the river, it was because the troops of Xiliang were all withdrawn, so we accidentally picked up a leak, and Ji Nan is even more so, no one would have thought that we would let Jiangling go and go straight to Ji Nan, but this Zhangshan County ······"
"It means that we must be in a head-to-head confrontation with Wei Chi Yuan," Li Xinchen said lightly, "One more person is one more strength." ”
Xiao Shilian's face twitched slightly, and he nodded slightly.
"Without further ado, the rain outside has already lightened a lot, so I will send scouts to the front to explore the way now, and rush to Jiangling as soon as possible, so that I can hand over these prisoners to General Zuowei, and second, I can directly ask General Zuowei for help." Pei Zilie grabbed the saber on the table and walked straight outside.
Seeing Pei Zilie's figure disappear into the wind and rain, Xiao Shilian asked the doubt he had been hiding in his heart: "Shizhong, why did you choose so-and-so?" ”
Li Xinchen exhaled lightly, obviously he already had the answer to this question: "This is going to Zhangshan County, with weak soldiers to surpass the enemy ten times, although it is the way of the regular army, but it is an out-and-out risk, so so, there are more than 2,000 brothers, what is needed is a general who dares to fight and rush, and take them to fight bloodily on the front line, this point Boqing You are better than a certain or a sergeant." ”
After a pause, Li Xinchen then said: "What's more, the master is General Dianwei, after asking General Zuo Wei for help, General Zuo Wei can directly transfer enough troops to him, and he will directly lead him to the north, and he will not have to send another general because your official position is too low to command so many soldiers." ”
Of course, Li Xinchen will not tell Xiao Shilian, there is another very important reason, that is, Xiao Shilian is also Xiao Maha's son in the final analysis, if his own son is trapped in Zhangshan County by Wei Chi, Xiao Maha, both public and private, will do his best to save him.
Even Li Xinchen knows that Xiao Maha should not be the kind of person who will not be saved when he sees death, but there is no harm in keeping one hand after all.
Xiao Shilian nodded: "Just now the priest said that the rain is a lot lighter, should we also send someone to explore the official road in the north to see if it is feasible?" ”
"That makes sense," Li Xinchen responded, and was about to walk out, but Xiao Shilian stopped him again:
"Shizhong, you wait first, there is another question I want to ask you."
"What's the problem?"
Xiao Shilian's eyes fell on the wind and rain outside the window, and said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me the truth, we are going to Zhangshan County, if we really encounter the siege of the main force of Wei Chi's army, can we support it until the siege is lifted?" ”
Li Xinchen smiled bitterly: "You can't answer this question, after all, you are not the general of the left guard, nor is it Wei Chi Yuan, nor is it Lu Teng who defends the city, so you can only make this decision, and in the end, whether you win or lose, live or die, or what you can't do is human." ”
Perhaps it was the first time to see Li Xinchen showing such an uncertain expression, Xiao Shilian frowned, and his heart was also a little heavier.
And Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to put on his helmet and said lightly: "But since we are going north, we should do our best, compete with Wei Chi, and also fight with this sky." Not to mention······ Even if it's no longer feasible, someone has to do it. Nine years ago, we defeated Gangneung Castle, and we can't go through it again. ”
While speaking, Li Xinchen took steps and walked into the wind and rain.
Xiao Shilian smiled at himself, when did he become his mother-in-law. At that moment, he grabbed the hilt of his saber and followed Li Xinchen closely.
As Li Xinchen said, if you haven't fought yet, how can you know that you can't do anything?
Nine years ago, because Jiangling City was tall and strong, Wu Mingche was bent on breaking through the city with all his might, but he didn't calculate that the Northern Zhou army would go south with lightning speed and rush straight to his flank, so he had to retreat in a hurry.
Now that the Southern Chen army is surrounding Jiangling City, there must be an army that continues to intersperse and entangle the main force of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the north, otherwise the old incident nine years ago will not happen again.
Xiao Maha and Fan Yi are all competing for the fat of Jiangling, and someone has to do something to stop Wei Chi Yuan. Not only for himself to fight for some more feats, but also for a victory that Nan Chen had been waiting for for too long.
