Chapter 453: The Wind Rises
Shishan County is the seat of state governance in Suizhou, and it is also one of the few large counties in Suizhou.
The situation in Shu Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan had learned before, and the soldiers and horses in the peripheral state capitals such as Suizhou and Zizhou had been contracted, which meant that the last defender of Suizhou was stationed in Shishan County of Suizhou.
Now that Shishan County has been lost, it not only shows that Li Xinchen has begun to move, but also that the whole army has been dispatched, and only in this way can the defenders not be able to support it for even a day or two.
"Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· of Ishiyama-gun" Wei Xiaokuan walked straight to the side of the map and stretched out his hand, "From Shishan County to the north, Langzhong is Langzhong." β
Tilting his head slightly, Wei Xiaokuan smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that your speculation is not wrong. β
Wei Chi frowned, Li Xinchen would send troops, this was his expectation, but she never thought that Li Xinchen would move so quickly, and now although they are ready to enter Shu, they have not left after all, and by the time they arrive at the Sword Pavilion, I am afraid that Langzhong has completely fallen into the hands of Li Xinchen.
"Without further ado, General Wei Chi, there is not much time left for us, Langzhong can't hold it now, and I'm afraid Shu County won't be able to hold it in the future." Wei Xiaokuan said in a deep voice, "We must hurry up and send troops, and go directly over Micang Mountain to Langzhong!" β
"Micang Mountain is steep, the mountain road is steep, and now the snow has just ended, and it is the most slippery time, it must be difficult for the army to advance, is General Wei joking?" Wei Chishun suddenly stood up and said dissatisfied, and the rest of the generals also nodded.
Micang Road is not easier to walk than Sword Pavilion Shu Road, and it is rain and snow weather, which means that the army can only advance lightly, even if this is the case, I am afraid that there will be non-combat attrition. Wei Xiaokuan made such a suggestion at this time, didn't he want Wei Chi Yuan to lead his troops to death?
Wei Xiaokuan did not rush to answer the questions of Wei Chishun and others, but turned to look at Wei Chi Yuan. He knew very well that what Wei Chishun and these people said did not count, and the key depended on Wei Chi Yuan.
Wei Chi slowly turned his head to look at Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Xiaokuan's gaze did not dodge, he was blazing, and he couldn't imagine that this was already an old man who was already in his prime.
From Wei Xiaokuan's eyes, Wei Chi Yuan couldn't see anything else except firmness. Nodding slightly, Wei Chi made up his mind: "Okay, I won't delay, I will lead the army to Langzhong tomorrow morning by taking the Micang Road." At that time, Brother Lao Xiaokuan will lead the army to the Sword Pavilion. β
"Brother Wei Chi, there is labor!" Wei Xiaokuan solemnly arched his hand, "A certain person will go to the Sword Pavilion, and then support Langzhong and Shu County." β
Now the follow-up army has not arrived, so Wei Chi Hui is tantamount to fighting alone, and if he is not careful, he may fall into Li Xinchen's calculations, but Wei Chi Yu did not refuse Wei Xiaokuan's suggestion.
The eyes of the two men intertwined, and they both saw the trust in each other's eyes.
Public affairs are public affairs, private affairs are private affairs, in this situation that the war situation has become more and more erosive, public and private must be separated, otherwise Wei Chi Yuan and Wei Xiaokuan are not worthy of being called the "famous generals" of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at all.
Wei Xiaokuan's goal has been achieved, and he bowed his hand at the moment: "Since this is the case, I will rush back to the army and urge the army to move forward!" β
"It's okay," Wei Chi nodded his head, "Take care!" β
"Take care!" Wei Xiaokuan smiled and turned straight out of the door.
And Yu Chi Yu didn't send him, his eyes turned to Yu Chi Shun, who was still sulking at him: "Ah Shun! β
"In!" Yu Chishun hit a spirit.
"Count the soldiers and horses, and prepare for the battle." Wei Chi said in a deep voice, "Micang Road is high and slippery, don't bring too much baggage, as long as Langzhong can still be kept in our hands, these grains and baggage can be sent over later!" β
"No!" Wei Chishun hurriedly agreed, and then asked in a low voice, "General, is it too dangerous for us to rush to Micang Dao like thisΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"Yes, general, this Wei Xiaokuan shouldn't be Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·?" Wei Chi's subordinate general, Fei Yelijin, also stood up.
Wei Chi Yuan's son and Ai Jiang were the first to speak, and the rest of the generals immediately showed dissatisfied looks, after all, Wei Xiaokuan's doing this really made it difficult for everyone to feel at ease. This guy has the tone of a court supervisor, and who can guarantee that Wei Xiaokuan will really come to support in time, instead of stopping in Hanzhong and sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight?
Wei Chi snorted heavily: "Whether it is dangerous or not, the old man knows it." This battle is related to the success or failure of my Great Zhou in Bashu, Wei Xiaokuan is a person, and the old man also knows that since the old man believes in him, you don't have to say anything else. If anyone dares to slack off in this battle, don't blame the old man's men for being ruthless! β
Wei Chishun, Fei Yelijin and the others glanced at each other, and could only helplessly give their hands: "Obey!" β
And a wind whistled and blew the curtain of the tent open, making the unsuspecting people shiver, and even couldn't help rubbing their hands.
Only Wei Chi Yu was still standing there, squinting slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
ββββββββββββ--
The strong wind blew Li Xinchen's sleeves, but the movements under his feet did not slow down because of this, but subconsciously accelerated his pace, and moved forward against the north wind whistling in the mountains.
The banner was hunting and dancing on the mountain road, and a soldier named Nan Chen held hands and walked cautiously on the slippery road. Although some people wanted to shout that they were tired, when they saw the figure that was striding forward like them, all the complaints were hidden in their hearts.
Because their generals are moving forward like them, and the generals are still like this, and they have nothing to resent these big soldiers.
"General, this road is too difficult to walk, let the brothers take a sliding rod to carry you, this Bashu Mountain road is rugged, there are often people who do sliding poles up and down, subordinates have also seen it, will ride!" Li Ping opened his mouth with difficulty and said, every time he opened his mouth, he felt countless cold winds pour directly into his heart and lungs down his throat.
Li Xinchen waved his hand, and slightly sideways his head to avoid the strong wind in front of him: "It's not that Lao Tzu can't walk, what do you want to slide the rod!" β
While speaking, Li Xinchen beckoned to the team behind him: "Brothers, work hard, the scouts in front have sent back the news, and a few hundred zhang further on, there is a mountain col that can shelter from the wind!" β
"Keep up, keep up!" The rest of the generals also shouted loudly, encouraging their soldiers to move forward.
And Li Xinchen exhaled softly, took three steps and walked up to a big rock on the side of the road, raised his arm, and pointed straight ahead: "Forward!" β
"Forward!" Li Ping's personal guards shouted loudly.
"Forward!" Countless soldiers shouted on the circling mountain road, their faces flushed by the wind, and their eyes looked straight at Li Xinchen, looking ahead of them.
Li Xinchen stood straight on the stone against the wind, and the sky was low as if he could reach it.
On the seventh day of the first lunar month, after Li Xinchen led his army to break through Shishan County, he did not continue to attack Mianzhu along Fushui, but transferred his troops to cross Fushui, crossed the snow-covered mountains and arrived at Xichong on the south side of Langzhong, and the troops pointed directly at Langzhong.
