Chapter 863: Xiangyang Guard
"Wei Chishun's daughter, how do you feel?" Pei Zilie watched Li Xinchen come over with a yawn, and couldn't help but tease.
I'm afraid that in the entire Li Xinchen group, only Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian are the ones who still have the courage to make such jokes with Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen swept Pei Zilie up and down in some surprise, although Li Xinchen didn't mind that these two brothers who were born and died with him were joking with him, but this was obviously not Pei Zilie's consistent style.
It is more likely that these words came out of Xiao Shilian's mouth.
"Tuas, how did you become so unserious?" Li Xinchen was heartbroken, picked up the teacup and gently blew the floating tea leaves.
And Pei Zilie immediately said seriously: "The continuation of the general's heirs, our courtiers should be concerned, and the general is too worried." β
The tea that Li Xinchen had just drunk almost squirted out.
Isn't this guy angry with himself when he gets up early in the morning? But think about it, Li Xinchen didn't get up early, plus changing clothes, washing, eating, etc., the time has almost worn out, and now Pei Zilie has already walked around more than half of Xiangyang City and came back to recover his life, Li Xinchen came over leisurely, how could he not be a little resentful.
"YesterdayΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· And nothing was done. Li Xinchen put down the teacup and touched his nose, "No matter how you think about it, you have to tell Lechang and Xiao Xiang, I don't know if I let one more person in the back house in this way." β
Although it is now in ancient times, Li Xinchen's thinking has some shadows of modern people, and he directly let him go home alone so quietly, Li Xinchen feels that he has no way to explain to Lechang and Xiao Xiang, whether they agree or not - with the smart brains of these two little girls, of course they will not raise objections - at least it is also a respect for them.
Pei Zilie was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed: "This is the matter of the general's back house, and the general thinks it's appropriate." β
"It's not a good thing that the back house is on fire." Li Xinchen was a little embarrassed, he always felt that Pei Zilie was mocking himself, and remembered something, "That girl from the Xiao family should also be ready to marry, and the general also privately sent someone to talk about this matter before." Since the marriage contract that has been made is still well fulfilled, the general does not seem to have any intention of repenting. β
Pei Zilie frowned and did not speak.
Before, he made a marriage contract with Xiao Maha's daughter Xiao Qing, but later the war in Hanzhong and Xiangyang was together, which was naturally delayed. The dowry and dowry of both parties have been prepared, but now they are shelved because of the deteriorating relationship between Li Xinchen and Xiao Maha. Especially this time, Xiao Maha returned to Jiangling, and it can be said that he has completely torn his face with Li Xinchen, just to prevent Li Xinchen's possible attack.
Xiao Maha and the Pei family got married, mainly to firmly tie Li Xinchen, and now there is no need for this, so this marriage is very embarrassing.
Pei Zilie hesitated for a while, according to the current situation, it is impossible for Li Xinchen to sit in Xiangyang, although Xiangyang is important, but it is too remote, after all, the core of Li Xinchen's group is still in Bashu, so Li Xinchen must return to Hanzhong and even Shu County after stabilizing in Xiangyang.
In this way, the general who stayed in Xiangyang must be Pei Zilie, if Pei Zilie and Xiao Maha get close to each other, it is inevitable that they will be a little unable to convince the public. The importance of avoiding suspicion, Pei Zilie is still somewhat clear in his heart. So he doesn't know now whether he should refuse.
"Don't think about it so much," Li Xinchen directly interrupted Pei Zilie's thoughts, "Xiang'er and Li'er are on their way to Xiangyang, and when they arrive, they will see that you and the girl of the Xiao family have a beautiful marriage and leave, and then this Xiangyang City will be entrusted to you." β
"But Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"There are so many." Li Xinchen's voice suddenly became heavy, "Do you not believe me, or do you not believe yourself?" β
Pei Zilie opened his mouth and nodded solemnly after a long time.
And Li Xinchen stood up and reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go, accompany a certain person to meet someone." β
"Who?"
"Li Xun."
ββββββββββββββββ
Li Xun did not appear at the celebration banquet in Xiangyang City, Dai Cai crossed the water to Xiangyang City, and Li Xun stayed in Fancheng, obviously he didn't want to see Li Xinchen again in such a short time, bowing to Li Xinchen at the beginning, it still makes Li Xun feel weird now, but a manly man, can bend and stretch, since he has surrendered at the beginning, he should regard himself as Li Xinchen's subordinates and do the things at hand first.
In fact, Li Xun did not have any important tasks, except for arranging the city defense, that is, to manage the prisoners as a whole, but many prisoners defected to him, after all, for these Northern Zhou soldiers, Li Xun can be regarded as a slightly familiar general.
However, Li Xun didn't expect that he didn't go to see Li Xinchen, but Li Xinchen came over to see him. After Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie, who had crossed the water, inspected the city defense of Fancheng, they went straight to the Fancheng Mansion. When Dai Cai left, Chun Yucen and Li Xun were left to guard the city, and Li Xinchen came, so the two naturally did not dare to slack off.
"Greetings to the General!" Li Xun was in front, Chun Yucen was behind, and when they saw Li Xinchen coming over, they all bowed their hands.
Li Xinchen smiled and stretched out his hand to support Li Xun's arm, and at the same time bowed slightly at Chun Yucen: "My army pulled out Xiangyang City, held a banquet for a day, and celebrated in the city, but let the two of them defend the city here, and I feel ashamed." β
Chun Yucen knew that he was just a supporting role this time, so he immediately smiled and said: "The general's words are wrong, Fancheng is important, when someone guards it, it is our honor to be able to guard Fancheng for the general." β
While speaking, Chun Yucen took a few steps back and spoke directly to Pei Zilie.
And Li Xinchen looked at Li Xun, who didn't know what to say, at this time: "I have been waiting for Brother Li to join our army for a long time, and you have made me wait for a while!" β
Li Xun didn't react for a while, Li Xinchen had already laughed, and pulled Li Xun to the council hall: "Are you still used to it in the army here?" After leaving, Dai Zidong is responsible for the specific arrangements and arrangements, has he treated you badly? β
Li Xun was flattered and hurriedly shook his head: "Master Hou, please rest assured, his subordinates assisted General Dai in rectifying the defense, and with General Chun Yu's help, it was very easy." β
"It's a pity that there are not enough soldiers and horses in the two cities of Xiangfan to let you lead," Li Xinchen shook his head and said helplessly, "However, the screening of the prisoners in Fancheng and Xiangyang has almost been carried out, and a team of about 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers and horses should be sorted out within three days. β
Li Xun's eyes widened in surprise, not believing what Li Xinchen said.
