Chapter 529: The Rickety Old Man
Obviously, Wei Chi Yuan himself had already made a decision, and it was futile for them to say anything.
"General Qiyu, Wei Xiaokuan's troops are only defending the camp today, and they have not taken the initiative to attack," a sentry quickly rushed in, "but on the two slopes of the enemy, the flags have been replaced by those of Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian." โ
"Li Xinchen?" Yu Chishun suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian directly revealed their identities to sit on these two hills, indicating that they also knew the news from Shu County, and more importantly, they knew that Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui would definitely not continue to attack.
This is a provocation to Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan, and it is also to boost morale, as if to tell all the Northern Zhou generals that they lost this battle completely.
"General, this is clearly not taking us seriously!" A young general stood up and couldn't help but say, "If the general allows, the last general is willing to lead his troops and horses to attack!" โ
Hearing what the young general said, Wei Chi Yu suddenly frowned slightly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support it.
"Presumptuous!" Wei Chishun felt that his father's body sank, and hurriedly turned around and shouted angrily, which frightened the young general and hurriedly shrunk his neck. And Wei Chishun immediately arched his hand, and there was some resentment in his words: "Daddy, do we really endure it like this?" โ
Wei Chi's clenched hand slowly loosened, gently put it on Wei Chishun's wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Li Xinchen is provoking, but the more such a provocation, the more it shows that he is confident." And Li Xinchen obviously still knows it in his heart, otherwise I'm afraid he would have rushed down the mountain to fight at this time. โ
After a pause, Wei Chi said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember how Cao Di explained it at the time? โ
Wei Chishun hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "I see it as chaotic and look at its flag, so I will chase it." โ
Speaking of this, Wei Chishun and the others already understood in their hearts. The victory or defeat of Shu County has been decided, but it does not mean that there is also a definite number on the side of Tiangong Courtyard, Li Xinchen did not rashly lead the army to attack, but only erected flags on the two hillsides to show his confidence in resolute resistance, indicating that Li Xinchen still knows what the battle situation in front of him is like.
The clearer Li Xinchen became, the more Wei Chi and Wei Xiaokuan had no last chance.
Wei Chi Zhen bowed slightly, and his eyes swept over the surrounding generals: "This shows that Li Xinchen still has a sense of proportion in his heart, and this battle is ยทยทยทยทยทยท It was he who won. โ
Wei Chishun and the others lowered their heads at the same time. Although they were resentful in their hearts, they also knew that this was a fact that they had to admit. With the fall of Shu County, the biggest goal of the entire Battle of Bashu is gone, and the next thing Wei Chi Yuan should think about is no longer to attack Tiangongyuan Mountain, but how to hold Langzhong.
"Let's go, go to Wei Xiaokuan, there are many matters that must be discussed properly in this withdrawal, and you can't just leave." Wei Chi Yu barely supported himself to stand up and said in a deep voice.
Fei Yejinli and Cao Xiaoda both looked at Wei Chi Hui with some concern. Last time, Wei Xiaokuan came to find Wei Chikuan, so this time Wei Chikuan should go to Wei Xiaokuan, but no one knows what kind of attitude Wei Xiaokuan had after the battle of Mianzhuguan.
After all, after Wei Shou broke through Mianzhu Pass last time, Wei Xiaokuan seemed to have changed his mind and took the lead in attacking without saying a word, so now whether Wei Xiaokuan wants to continue to attack or retreat, even Wei Chi Yuan himself can't grasp it.
But having said that, everyone can see Wei Chi Yuan's current physical condition, and if he wants to go to Wei Xiaokuan, there will definitely be disputes between the two sides, so no one can guarantee that Wei Chi Yuan will be able to support it at that time.
Wei Chishun said in a deep voice: "Daddy's meaning is already understood by the child, if you don't let the child go, you will definitely be able to discuss this matter with Wei Xiaokuan." โ
Wei Chi said lightly: "This battle is presided over by the old man, whether it is the success or failure, it is the responsibility of the old man, let you go, what kind of system!" โ
Before the words fell, Wei Chi slowly walked forward: "Raise your head to the old man, the defeat of Tiangongyuan is because of the fall of Shu County and we have to withdraw our troops, but the old man has never said that this battle of Bashu is our defeat." No matter how arrogant and dominant Li Xinchen is, can't he still stand on that hillside and watch us leave?! The battle of Bashu is not over yet, you are so depressed, can you still fight? ! โ
Wei Chi Yuan's words were extremely harsh, and every word fell on everyone's heart, making the generals, including Wei Chishun, subconsciously raise their heads.
Yes, now they just have to retreat because of the abruptly changed situation, and not because they are really powerless and can only accept defeat. As long as they go back to rectify the soldiers and horses, then they still have an advantage over Li Xinchen, Langzhong, Jiange and Jiamengguan are all in their hands, and the battle situation in Bashu is far from the point where all are irretrievably eroded.
Wei Chi flicked his sleeves and strode forward. He didn't believe that Wei Xiaokuan wouldn't even understand this little truth.
And Wei Chishun and the others subconsciously glanced at each other, and at the same time quickly followed.
โโโโโโโโโโโโ-
"General, Wei Chi Yu is on his way here." Li Xun stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the Chinese military camp.
Wei Xiaokuan sat quietly in his place, not knowing what he was thinking, and when he heard Li Xun's voice, he just bowed slightly, and was not surprised by this.
And He Lou Zigan walked in behind Li Xun and asked in surprise: "General, once Shu County is lost, can we really have to retreat?" โ
When the news came this morning, it really surprised He Louzigan and Li Xun and others, but it didn't mean that they had lost confidence in the battle situation in front of them, after all, they had killed to the top of the mountain yesterday. If it weren't for Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian arriving in time, I'm afraid that the starting position of the attack would have been pushed below the main peak of Tiangong Courtyard by now.
After all, Shu County is still far away, and the collapse of the battle situation in Shu County does not mean that there is no room for recovery on the side of Tiangong Courtyard, and even in the eyes of generals such as He Lou Zigan and Li Xun, if they can take Tiangong Courtyard Mountain, then this battle situation will still become more favorable to them in the future.
But it was obvious that Wei Xiaokuan did not plan to do so, the old general had been looking at the map of Bashu in his main tent since the morning, and he did not say a word, and he did not have any intention of ordering an attack.
Therefore, taking the opportunity of Wei Chi Yuan's arrival to tell the old general, Li Xun and He Louzigan actually wanted to ask the old general what he planned for this battle situation.
Whether you fight or not, you must at least give a quasi-word, otherwise everyone will be worried, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
And Wei Xiaokuan seemed to react at this time, and stood up: "Go, greet General Wei Chi." โ
Li Xun and He Louzigan looked at Wei Xiaokuan's movements in surprise, the old general has always been capable, but now they feel that they have become a rickety old man overnight.
