The chair belonging to the marshal of the Chinese army was directly in front of the big tent, and Xiao Maha could see it when he looked up.

Countless times, he stood in this tent, respectfully listening to the seniors sitting on the chair to give orders, from Chen Baxian, to Hou Andu, to Wu Mingche, generation after generation of famous generals have sat on this chair, leading Nan Chen from a corner of the Yangtze River that was ravaged by Hou Jing to today.

And now Xiao Maha no longer has to stand in front of this chair, but can walk forward and sit on the chair openly, he knows very well that the moment he sits down, the responsibility left by countless ancestors who have become ancient will be inherited by him.

This is the responsibility of leading a country to fight against fate in the cracks, and it is also the responsibility of leading this army to create a brilliant glory that only predecessors dared to imagine.

Xiao Maha took a deep breath and strode forward, but before he could sit down, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen walked in together, and at the same time arched their hands: "See General Zuo Wei." ”

At home, Xiao Shilian generally calls Xiao Maha "Daddy", but after all, he is now in the army, and Xiao Shilian has to let himself adapt to this title first.

Xiao Maha didn't say anything about this, turned his head directly, and said in a deep voice: "Boqing, you have taken Shizhong over?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Shilian hurriedly responded, "Therefore, the last general and the Shizhong brothers will come back to restore their lives!" ”

Xiao Maha nodded, and looked slightly sideways at the map hanging beside him, this map was transported from his mansion, and it was full of marks and marks painted in the Xiliang area. Xiao Maha looked at it for a while, and then said unhurriedly: "It's good for you to come, and let's take a look at this map." ”

Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen subconsciously glanced at each other, and immediately understood that Xiao Maha probably still had some worries in his heart.

Although they can't empathize with Xiao Maha's feelings, they can also understand that after all, this is the first time that Xiao Maha has led his troops to fight as the main general anyway, which is different from before, so Xiao Maha will be under pressure to some extent.

What's more, in the battle of Xiliang, Xu Sheng is not allowed to lose, and the pressure on Xiao Maha's shoulders must be greater.

"General Qiyu, the last general thinks that the main force of the Northern Zhou barbarians has gathered to the north, and even if the whole country fights with me, Xiliang is not our opponent after all." Li Xinchen took a step forward at the moment and said loudly, the hesitation in Xiao Maha's words had made Li Xinchen see clearly, and now the biggest enemy of the entire Nanchen army is probably not Xiliang, but himself.

Although the Western Liang repeatedly thwarted the intention of the Southern Chen to attack, but in the final analysis, this was done with the full support of the Northern Zhou, if there was no Northern Zhou sent a large army to rescue, the Western Liang was taken by Wu Mingche as early as nine years ago, and there was no need to wait until today.

After all, Xiliang is the territory of several counties around Jiangling, and even half of Jingzhou is not included, it can be said that it is an out-and-out small country and widows, Wu Mingche only relied on the garrison of Xiangzhou on the front line, and after a series of hard battles with Hua Jiao, he could also beat Xiliang to the ground, and now Xiao Maha is commanding the whole country's soldiers and horses, if he can't beat Xiliang again, it will be shameful.

However, compared with the long-fought army led by Wu Mingche back then, the situation faced by Xiao Maha at this time was not all favorable.

Now in the army in Xiao Maha's hands, half of the soldiers are recruits who have not been on the battlefield, and most of the generals under him are young generals who have only emerged in recent years, or they are already old veterans like Ren Zhong, which is much inferior to the scene when Wu Mingche gathered around Chun Yuliang, Huang Fayan and other famous generals, and Chen Ji himself was in charge behind him.

What's more, compared with the situation when Chen Maha went to the front line in person and all the generals worked together, the situation that Xiao Maha has to face now is far from so good. Not to mention what Ren Zhong and other veterans think of Xiao Maha in their hearts, just Fan Yi, the assassin of Jingzhou, is not an easy character to deal with.

Therefore, hearing Li Xinchen's words, Xiao Maha only frowned slightly, and did not say much, obviously a few words would not make him let go of the burden in his heart so easily.

And Li Xinchen then said softly: "Is the general worried about the history of Jingzhou's assassination?" ”

Stunned for a moment, Xiao Maha didn't expect Li Xinchen to say it bluntly

As the history of Jingzhou Thorn, Fan Yi has been sitting on the front line of Jingzhou for many years, concentrating on management, and what he did was naturally to be able to conquer Xiliang one day, but now it is good, a Xiao Maha fell from the sky, and he became the chief general of the Jingzhou Thorn History, and the main task is to feint and attack, if Fan Yi is not dissatisfied at all, then no one will believe it.

Therefore, what Xiao Maha is most worried about now is not how to defeat Xiliang, but how to prevent Fan Yi from deliberately dragging himself back.

Sometimes the enemy is not terrible, what is terrible is his own people, compared to Xiliang, Fan Yi and other Nanchen generals who are obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Maha Qingyun's steady steps are the hidden dangers that Xiao Maha needs to worry about the most.

"Actually, my subordinates think that the general is too worried." Li Xinchen said thoughtfully.

Xiao Maha raised his eyebrows, and there was a faint anger in his eyes: "How can you say this?" ”

Li Xinchen said that he was "too worried", even if Xiao Maha is not a suspicious person, he is somewhat unhappy at this time, because this statement somewhat gives Xiao Maha a feeling of accusing him of doubting his own people too much, and with Xiao Maha's temperament, he will definitely not be happy.

And Li Xinchen hurriedly said: "Jingzhou Thorn History has been operating the Jingzhou front for many years, and at this time, from the original commander to the partial division commander, the dissatisfaction in my heart is certain, and even if it is the will of His Majesty personally, the dissatisfaction of Jingzhou Thorn History will definitely fall on the general." ”

"Dissatisfied with His Majesty, does he have the courage to do this?" Xiao Maha snorted coldly.

"But the general should not forget, Jingzhou Thorn Shi is not a person," Li Xinchen immediately said, "He is a member of the Fan family, and when he does things, he can't rely on his own feelings alone, and he has to ······ more or less No, nine times out of ten, you have to think about the whole family. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Maha was stunned, he forgot this, he was born in a poor family, his father is just a small county, and he is from the previous dynasty, Xiao Maha has come to this day step by step, in fact, it has nothing to do with his father, so Xiao Maha often subconsciously ignores the family when thinking about things.

As Li Xinchen said, in this era of family supremacy, people from a family cannot be as carefree as the children of the poor family, whether it is words and deeds, or the choice of advance and retreat, they must consider the whole family, for the honor of the family and future generations.
