With such a famous general of the older generation of Nanchen staring, the Northern Zhou army in Guanzhong naturally did not dare to move. It's just that the Northern Zhou didn't know, in fact, the Han was also bluffing, with the current grain and grass storage and follow-up troops in Jiangling and Xiangyang, it was simply not enough to support a big war.

As a result, the situation quickly improved.

Xiao Shilian left 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Nanxiang, and immediately returned to Xiangyang, while Chun Yucen and Huang Wan also retreated. Seeing that the Han army retreated, but the defenders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not make a direct comeback, but only divided their troops to guard the main roads everywhere, obviously Li Xinchen did not plan to pounce directly on Guanzhong at this time, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, where the main force was still in the north, was naturally not suitable for rash action.

When Yang Jian led the army back, it would be clear how the situation would be.

"Xiao Boqing did it neatly," Li Xinchen looked at the changes on the map, although this change was very subtle, but it meant that the entire front had changed from the original dog-tooth staggered to the current Han completely dominating.

The unimpeded road means that Hanzhong and Jingzhou and other places of the Han Dynasty have been completely connected, and the Han army can calmly go out of Hanzhong and Xiangyang to attack the fortified areas. If Nanyang in Yang Jian's hands is also lost, then Yuwenyun's small court will really only have one Guanzhong and Hetao left, and it is even better than Yuwenxian, who occupies Qingzhou and Hebei.

"We can't do anything to Yang Jian in the future." Yang Su said slowly, "After Yang Jian gets the news, there is a chance that he will lead troops south, even if he doesn't start a war with us, I'm afraid that great fanfare is indispensable, if we insist on pressuring, I'm afraid the two sides will inevitably have a battle." ”

"Why can't this battle be fought?" Huang Qi, the secretary and supervisor next to him, said in surprise, as Li Xinchen's personal follower, he is in charge of the exchange of news, and he can see the situation in the world clearly.

If you don't provoke Yang Jian now, then do you want to provoke Yu Wenxian again?

Today's situation in the world is actually a bit weird, Li Xinchen is the largest family in the territory, but the number of soldiers and horses and population is not as good as Yu Wenxian, and it can only be said that it is more generous than Yang Jian, some similar to the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the territory is large, but most of them are deserted places.

And Li Xinchen seems to be more harmonious with Yang Jian's side, the two sides not only cooperated in the northwest to fight the Turks, but also signed a complete trade treaty, etc., and had normal north-south exchanges, which was not much different from the peace period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

In contrast, Li Xinchen and Yu Wenxian are relatively cold, originally the two sides bordered only two Huai, and this can be said to be the place where the most conflicts and battles have broken out between the north and the south in hundreds of years.

But in fact, the two sides were tense on both sides of the Huaishui, but they never really moved, and even during this period, Wu Huijue once went south to attack Guangling and Jingkou, helping Li Xinchen solve the flank threat on the road to Jiangnan. In the same way, Wang Liang, who was sitting in Huaibei, and Liang Shiyan, who had relied on Northern Xuzhou to resist Wu Mingche for several months, also sent troops and horses north to prepare for the Luoyang war.

The two sides seem to maintain a tacit understanding, you don't come, I don't communicate. Although this is not without reason, after three hundred years of operation, the two Huai defense lines are all in the form of fortresses, and they have all been fortified, even if the main force of the army leaves, as long as the number of defenders in the city is still maintained at a certain level, then the other party wants to break through this defense line also needs to pay a very heavy price.

At the beginning, Wu Mingche led the main force of Southern Chen to attack Northern Xuzhou, and Liang Shiyan, the defender of Northern Xuzhou, was just a newcomer and was ordered to be in danger, and the defenders in the city were almost dominated by the surrender of Northern Qi.

It's just that at that time, Wu Mingche had no need to continue the attack, so he could only retreat to the Luliang Mountains.

This shows the solidity of the defense line between the two Huai, and it can also be seen why there is such a strange peace between Li Xinchen and Yu Wenxian now, and even a certain tacit understanding can be maintained in dealing with Yang Jian and the situation in the north.

In contrast, there are contacts between Li Xinchen and Yang Jian, but the border between the two sides does not have a long and solid barrier defense line like the Lianghuai defense line, so it is natural that there is constant friction, not to mention that Guanzhong was originally the northbound route formulated by Li Xinchen, so that it can bypass the Lianghuai and go straight to the Central Plains.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the situation in the world is so weird.

But now that Yang Su provoked Yang Jian, is it possible to turn the spearhead to Yu Wenxian again? After all, after Huang Wan and Chun Yucen took Deng County and other places on the north side of Suizhou, they had already made contact with the territory controlled by Yu Wenxian to the west, which is why Huang Wan and Chun Yucen did not place too many soldiers and horses in these newly acquired places.

It would not be good if it attracted Yu Wenxian's attention or even counterattacked.

And now Yang Su seems to be planning to take the initiative to provoke? In this way, doesn't it put the big man on the opposite side of the two forces of Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian?

This is definitely not in line with the current national policy of the Han Dynasty, although the territory of the Han Dynasty is large, but there are not so many soldiers and horses that can fight with the two enemies at the same time, sowing discord in it and then slowly encroaching is what should be done.

It was because of this thought that Huang Qi had such doubts, of course, his words were somewhat distrustful of Yang Su. This is also a common problem between officials from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, after all, everyone has been hostile for so long, and it is normal to suddenly sit together and not trust it.

What's more, Li Xinchen was born in the Southern Dynasties no matter what, so this suspicion and distrust is mainly focused on the officials of the Southern Dynasties against the officials of the Northern Dynasties.

And Yang Su smiled slightly: "If we go to war with Yang Jian directly, I'm afraid it will be self-evident who is cheaper." Yu Wenxian also wished that he could see us lose and lose, and then make a profit from it. So it's time for us to think about how to deal with Yu Wenxian. ”

"War with Yu Wenxian?" Huang Qi raised his eyebrows, if Li Xinchen wasn't still here, he would probably be ready to draw his sword.

Yang Su waved his hand: "Of course not, we and Yu Wenxian only talk about not fighting." ”

"Talk?"

"That's right, let's talk!" Yang Su said with a smile, "Yu Wenxian's army is still in the north at this time, not to mention, Luoyang's side has been deadlocked, and it is also his long-term heart disease, if he doesn't take Luoyang, there is no way to control the entire Central Plains, let alone go straight to Guanzhong from the east." ”

This is also a fact, in the past few years, Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian have been tug-of-war back and forth around the line from Luoyang to Tongguan, and both sides want to compete for this passage connecting Guanzhong and Hebei, although Luoyang is now controlled by Wei Chiyuan, but the passage from Luoyang to the west and even the Yuyuan Pass on the south side are under Yang Jian's control.
