No matter what, Li Xinchen is the most authoritative among all the people present, if Li Xinchen speaks rashly, then I am afraid that when he finishes speaking, the people below will only echo it, even if there is really an objection, no one will dare to deny it completely, so he is not in a hurry to say his opinion.

Only by knowing what everyone is thinking can he integrate everyone's point of view, merge it with his own thoughts, and finally make a judgment.

Xiao Shilian bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Now our army is fully capable of directly attacking Suizhou and threatening Langzhong, so whether it is Wei Chi Yu or Wei Xiaokuan, he will definitely take the Micang Road to cut off Langzhong and threaten the flank of our army, so as to finally ensure that Shu County is foolproof. And after Langzhong defends, it will be able to join the soldiers and horses in Bazhong, and when the time comes, whether it is from Shu County or from Langzhong, or even Bazhong to the south, you can take the momentum from a high position, and you can also make our army invincible. ”

The surrounding generals glanced at each other and agreed.

Shu County, Langzhong and Bazhong all have rivers that can go directly to Hezhou, and after Hezhou is Ba County, which is why Li Xinchen is determined to take Hezhou as quickly as possible, otherwise Li Xinchen will not be able to parry whether the enemy is running all the way or three-pronged. Now that he occupies Hezhou, at least the gateway to the north of Ba County is blocked, even if Li Xinchen can't get out, the enemy doesn't want to come in so easily.

Now that Wei Chi Hui has arrived in Hanzhong first, if he and Wei Xiaokuan really decide to divide their troops into two ways, then it should be Wei Chi Hui who will take the rice cang road.

"In addition to Hezhou, there is also Luzhou." Chen Zhishen opened his mouth and said, "If the enemy can't directly take Hezhou, it is possible to divide the troops to take Luzhou first, and once Luzhou is lost, the flank of Ba County will be opened, and it will become meaningless to defend Hezhou." ”

"Luzhou and Hezhou are certainly dangerous, but we don't have many soldiers and horses, and it's not so simple to defend the city." Dai Cai frowned slightly, "Once Wei Chi Yuan or Wei Xiaokuan want to besiege but not attack, even if they drag us, they can drag us until we run out of ammunition." ”

Dai Cai pointed out the crux of the problem in one sentence, and suddenly everyone stopped talking, and at the same time looked up at Li Xinchen.

Their expectant and eager eyes undoubtedly told Li Xinchen that as long as they were given sufficient soldiers, horses, money and food, whether it was Wei Chi Hui or Wei Xiaokuan, or two people coming together, they would not be afraid, and they would just fight vigorously.

And Li Xinchen just quietly met all the eyes.

He didn't have any soldiers, horses, money and food.

And Li Xinchen didn't expect Chen Ji to give it to him. Chen Xu, Li Xinchen still knows something about this person, this is a typical hero, and the so-called hero is naturally a ruthless person who can do things that others can't do.

Now that Li Xinchen is dragging Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan in Bashu alone, Chen Xu will definitely not give Li Xinchen all the soldiers, horses, money and food in his hands stupidly, which will only make Li Xinchen sit big in vain. Now that there is a self-contained East Palace in the Nanchen court, there can no longer be a self-contained Li Xinchen.

Therefore, Li Xinchen knew very well that Chen Ji would definitely launch an attack in the direction of Huainan and Jingzhou. Regardless of whether Xiao Maha of Jingzhou will obey Chen Ji's orders, at least Wu Mingche of Huainan should not disobey Chen Ji.

It's just that in Li Xinchen's opinion, Chen Ji seems to have ignored something······

Although the Northern Zhou sent two generals to Bashu, the soldiers and horses led by these two men were only 50,000. In the eyes of many people, 50,000 soldiers and horses to deal with Li Xinchen is already a knife for killing chickens, but Li Xinchen knows that when these 50,000 soldiers and horses are thrown into the rugged mountains and rivers of Bashu, they are actually just going to be good.

So where did the rest of the Northern Zhou army go?

Li Xinchen never naively thought that there were only two capable generals in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan, not to mention Wang Rail, who is still in Huaibei, and He Ruobi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, as well as Han Baohu, Gao Xi, and many famous generals, just because they didn't get the opportunity to show.

What's more, Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian, who are now competing in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, are not two important generals?

No matter which of these people led the army to resist Nan Chen, Li Jinchen did not dare to guarantee that Nan Chen would win, and even Li Xinchen suspected that this was originally a trap carefully set by the Northern Zhou Dynasty for Nan Chen.

But if that's the case······ Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian are not as easy to deal with as they imagined.

"Your Majesty······ You'll have to prove it. Li Xinchen couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "A certain will fight this battle, I just hope you don't play with fire and set yourself on fire." ”

After reading silently in his heart, Li Xinchen suddenly raised his head: "I know that there is a shortage of food, and I am not afraid of a shortage of soldiers!" Since the imperial court doesn't want to give us soldiers and horses, and doesn't want to give us money and food, then we will go to the Zhou people to ask for it. ”

Suddenly, the entire council hall was silent, and there was surprise in their eyes.

Looking for the Zhou people, shouldn't your own general want to surrender to the Zhou people?

Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie looked at Li Xinchen at the same time, but what Li Xinchen wanted to do, they needed a proper explanation.

Li Xinchen stretched out his hand on the sand table: "Whether Wei Chi Hui wants to take the rice cang road or not, we can't wait in Hezhou, while Wei Chi Hui has not yet arrived, we will directly take Suizhou (now Suining), and at the same time go north from Luzhou to attack Zizhou (now Ziyang), so as to threaten Shu County with a corner, and even directly attack Shu County!" ”

"Attack Shu County?" Xiao Shilian repeated it repeatedly, feeling that he had misheard. Even if he has always prided himself on being bold, when he heard Li Xinchen's plan, he felt incredible

And Pei Zilie and others were even more dumbfounded.

At this time, the Northern Zhou gathered a large army, and it was precisely to prepare to wipe out Li Xinchen, Li Xinchen did not defend Ba County well, and even attacked Shu County, what is the difference between this and suicide?

Li Xinchen nodded solemnly and told everyone that there was no problem with their ears: "We don't have reinforcements now, and we don't even have enough money and food, if we stick to Ba County, it will be tantamount to asking for our own death, so the most risky and easiest way to break the situation is to push the battle line out." Doesn't the enemy want to block a certain block in Ba County, then we might as well intercept them in Shu County! ”

After a pause, Li Xinchen's face was already a little hideous: "We don't have enough soldiers and horses, we can recruit the Ba people from the rest of the tribes along the way, we don't have enough money and food, we can go directly to the enemy's treasury to get it, go to the enemy's field to harvest, I believe that Shu County, which is known as the 'country of abundance', will not be poor even if it has a poor harvest last year." ”

Xiao Shilian took a deep breath and looked at Pei Zilie.

And Pei Zilie's fists were clenched tightly, a little in a trance. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was defending or attacking.

But in other words, isn't sometimes offense the best defense?

Anyway, now, as Li Xinchen said, in addition to this one method, they have to sit back and wait for the choice.

Sit back and wait······ Pei Zilie is really unwilling.

I'm afraid that no one here is reconciled.
