Chapter 583: Cui Hongdu's Struggle
When to regress and when to improve, as a manager, sometimes you have to think about it so complicated.
Cui Hongdu walked quickly to the stone on the side of the road, looked at the two young people standing in front of him, and was in a trance for a while.
Wei Chi's troops and Wei Xiaokuan's troops combined with thirty or forty thousand people, and in the end, they were defeated by these two young men, and now they even have to negotiate with these two young people for the lives of hundreds of soldiers.
However, Cui Hongdu had to sigh, these two young people are really young, the two of them are standing on the road like this, in the smoke and rain, the waists of the two people are straight, and the belt kills the waist thinly, just standing with their legs apart, there is infinite heroism and vitality.
At this time, I thought of Wei Chi Yuan and Wei Xiaokuan, who were already old. Cui Hongdu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Some people said before that compared with Southern Chen, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was not far behind in the number of veterans, and it was even better than the Southern Chen in terms of backbone, and middle-aged generals such as Wei Shou and Wei Chishun were gradually supporting the sky of the Northern Zhou.
Compared with the Northern Zhou, Nan Chen did not have such a middle-aged general who was enough to inherit the heavy responsibilities of the older generation, and only one Xiao Maha was promoted from the firing line, and he didn't know what his specific ability was, but he knew that this person had not commanded large-scale battles before.
But now Cui Hongdu knows that in terms of general talent reserves, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has completely lost, and the rise of young generals such as Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie, even these experienced veterans of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are no longer opponents, not to mention the middle-aged generals who have not fully grown up, and He Louzigan's failure is the most typical example.
The two young people in front of them are like the rising sun, and they will definitely lead the tide of the entire era, but the young generation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has not appeared so far.
Cui Hongdu took a deep breath, he knew that Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie were waiting for him, the matter had come to this point, and there was nothing more to say, he took a step forward and solemnly arched his hand: "Cui Hongdu, the head of the Great Zhou March, dare to ask the two?" ”
"Great Chen Wuyi General Pei Zilie."
"General Li Xinchen."
Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie were also very face-saving, and they returned the salute at the moment, and then Li Xinchen made a gesture of please: "In the wind and rain, it is not advisable to stay for a long time, under the big tree, talk about preparing thin wine, General Cui invited." ”
Cui Hongdu did not hesitate this time, and solemnly bowed his head: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
"General Cui is very happy!" Li Xinchen couldn't help laughing.
"Happy people can't meet happy things, but what, no one!" Cui Hongdu sighed, and at the same time, his eyes glanced at him obliquely, and quietly looked at Li Xinchen. This young man is nothing special except that he is more heroic than he imagined, I don't know how he played the entire Bashu battle situation in the palm of his hand, and I don't know what Li Xinchen wants to talk about with him?
The current Cui Hongdu really doesn't have any chips in his hands. And what Cui Hongdu has around him, how many troops there are on the mountain, and how much food there is, Cui Hongdu believes that Li Xinchen knows it, and it can be said that Cui Hongdu can't even make it up.
Under the big tree not far away, the wine and food were already placed on the ground, and the three futons were laid out, and Li Xinchen was not polite to Cui Hongdu, so he took the lead in sitting down. And Cui Hongdu hesitated for a moment and sat down too, but this time he obviously didn't intend to continue to be dragged by Li Xinchen, and took the lead to speak:
"General Li is young and heroic, strategizing, and commendable, but you and I are enemies, I don't know what General Li insists on negotiating, what he wants to discuss?"
Li Xinchen poured a glass of wine and handed it to Cui Hongdu, and said with a smile: "General Cui, you must be clear about the battle situation in Cangxi Valley now." There's one more piece of news you may not know. ”
"Oh?" Cui Hongdu looked at the smile on Li Xinchen's face, he already knew that there must be nothing good, and when he reached out to take the wine glass, his hand couldn't help but shake slightly, and the wine rolled out along the rim of the glass.
At this time, Cui Hongdu realized that Li Xinchen's wine was very full, and his purpose was naturally self-evident.
Cui Hongdu's slightly trembling hand was of course fully seen by Li Xinchen, and he said unhurriedly: "The grain team escorted by Wei Chi's department has been raided, and I am afraid that your food is not enough to support the army for ten days." ”
"What?" Cui Hongdu's hand shook violently, and the wine spilled more, but he still took a deep breath to stabilize his breathing, but his face was cloudy, looking at Li Xinchen, seeing that Li Xinchen was just looking at him with a smile, Cui Hongdu couldn't help but take a light breath, "So what do you want to do······"
The grain and grass have been raided, and there is no need to think about it to know that the current Wei Chi Yuan and Wei Xiao Kuanbu have only one way to die except for the Jedi struggle. But in this vast mountain, it is so easy to break through. As long as Li Xinchen blocked a mountain pass and held out for twenty days, I am afraid that the tens of thousands of troops would have to collapse.
It can be said that grain and grass are the lifeblood of the Northern Zhou army, and now this lifeline is pinched in the hands of Li Xinchen.
Li Xinchen said unhurriedly: "The battle of Bashu has been fought for several months now, with countless casualties and displaced people, and it must have come to the time when there should be an ending." I rushed to find Wei Xiaokuan or Wei Chi Yuan, I'm afraid they don't want to see so, so I'm afraid I have to ask General Cui to convey some words. ”
Cui Hongdu raised his eyebrows, put down the wine glass in his hand, and stared at Li Xinchen tightly.
Li Xinchen wants peace talks······ Why? Everyone can see the current situation clearly, Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui have become out-and-out trapped beasts, and at this time, Li Xinchen doesn't want to wipe them all out and win a complete victory, but thinks about peace talks, could it be that Li Xinchen is also a little powerless?
After all, this war has lasted for several months, and Li Xinchen has always been in a state of being outnumbered, and it is not easy for the whole war to be able to support it, and it is reasonable to accept it if you want to see it.
Judging from the analysis before the war, the Nanchen court did not seem to support Li Xinchen very much, and now that Li Xinchen has achieved such a big victory, the Nanchen court must be suppressed, so Li Xinchen chose to stop at this time, which is understandable.
Thinking about these joints, Cui Hongdu also showed a smile. He now knows why Li Xinchen is, at least he has some confidence. Presumably, the battle situation has developed to this extent, and Wei Chi Yuan and Wei Xiaokuan are also fighting hard, if there is room for peace talks, they will definitely grasp it firmly.
It's better than tens of thousands of soldiers just explaining in this barren mountain and wilderness.
Pei Zilie didn't know why the eyes between Li Xinchen and Cui Hongdu were becoming more and more ambiguous, so he could only cough lightly and said in a deep voice: "General Cui, of course you brought these words back, but we also have a premise. ”
