Chapter 679: Human Heart
The power of the East Palace enveloped the entire court, Li Xinchen was undoubtedly the one who suddenly appeared and tore a hole to let the sunlight shine in, for those officials who were not treated by the East Palace or were dissatisfied with the villains everywhere in the East Palace, Li Xinchen was certainly worth their consideration.
What's more, Li Xinchen is young enough, and has the ambition to make Chen Xuan retreat step by step, and has the strength to take down the entire Bashu with a lone army, cloud from the dragon, wind from the tiger, comparing Li Xinchen and Chen Shubao How to choose later, presumably some bold people already have some numbers in their hearts.
Knowing that Li Xinchen was also protecting himself in turn, Xu Ling's smile suddenly became a little kinder, and Wu Mingche next to him laughed and said: "Shizhong is reasonable, then ride a horse with the old man!" Some details of the Battle of Bashu, the old man is very interested! β
Li Xinchen immediately smiled and arched his hand: "Then the junior is respectful, it is better to obey his fate!" β
Xu Lingdeng glanced up at Wu Mingche, Wu Mingche was also looking over at this time, and the two old men who controlled the entire Nanchen Dynasty looked at each other, and then dispersed.
However, they could feel the other party's slight vigilance.
Obviously, Wu Mingche and Xu Ling have the same idea, they both plan to cooperate with Li Xinchen, but since it is cooperation, there is naturally a precedence, and it is natural to divide the priority, and now Wu Mingche obviously does not intend to retreat to Xu Ling.
It seems that Wu Mingche's strength is not as good as Xu Ling, but don't forget, whether it is Li Xinchen, or even Xiao Maha, they all walked out from Wu Mingche's command, and this grace of the superiors and subordinates cannot be forgotten, in addition to several generals under Li Xinchen, Xiao Shilian was also promoted by Wu Mingche, not to mention Pei Zilie, who is a disciple of Wu Mingche.
Even Xu Ling's eldest grandson, Xu Deyan, is still Pei Zilie's subordinate. Therefore, in terms of personal relationship alone, Wu Mingche is no worse than Xu Ling at all. I'm afraid it's also because I understand this reason, so this old fox obviously doesn't intend to regress on this.
How powerful Xu Ling's methods are Wu Mingche knows in his heart that if Xu Ling is allowed to take the lead, then he may not even have the opportunity to drink soup.
Li Xinchen grabbed the reins handed over by Li Ping while looking at Xu Ling's back.
At this time, Xu Ling and Wu Mingche had already shown a little bit of disagreement, and they didn't know how much trouble it would be to really cooperate with these two old foxes. He rejected it bluntly just now, Xu Ling didn't mean to keep a certain distance from Xu Ling.
This old fox has obviously seen the direction of the wind clearly now and decided to press the treasure on himself, of course Li Xinchen is very happy about this, he knows how much power the Xu family has, and he also knows how much prestige and power Xu Ling himself has.
But happy to be happy, Li Xinchen also had to consider a very practical question, that is, with the addition of such a huge force as Xu Ling, could Li Xinchen still be able to completely control this group. Although Li Xinchen's entire group in Bashu is not very large, it is composed of a group of young people from Nanchen, local scholars, and Ba people who are in urgent need of recovery, and Li Xinchen has enough prestige and means to rule this group, so that everything will develop according to his intentions.
But once Xu Ling's power is added, and it is not controlled by Li Xinchen, and I don't know how much, then Li Xinchen's prestige may be difficult to completely affect these officials who may have been famous for a long time, so what the whole group should do next is actually no longer something that Li Xinchen can control.
Just like the current Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian have become one, and several families of the Guanlong Group have even begun to seek to introduce external forces, and the whole group can no longer be as united as Yu Wenyong was when he was alive, and it is inevitable that it will split or even fall apart.
Li Xinchen didn't naively think that he could have the prestige and skill of Yu Wenyong, so he couldn't let himself go down the same path as him after seeing the helplessness that Yu Wenyun was experiencing now.
Therefore, at this time, it may be a good choice to keep a distance from Xu Ling and introduce Wu Mingche and his military generals.
Although this kind of checks and balances does not have the difficulty of struggling to survive between two behemoths, it is not an easy task to ponder people's hearts.
Throughout the ages, the most incomprehensible thing is not the human heart.
Li Xinchen never thought that he would be entangled in these problems one day, because calculating people's hearts seemed to him to be the most despicable and shameless move in the eyes of him who was once naΓ―ve and hot-blooded before, but now what he needed to do was to pinch the psychology of everyone standing in front of him and behind him at this time.
It's not easy, but it has to be done.
"In the old man's view, the key to the battle of Bashu is to 'surprise and attack it unprepared'." Wu Mingche rode his horse to Li Xinchen's side, stroked his beard gently, with a smile on his face, obviously this old man was in a very good mood, "Shizhong, you attack Ba County, and then surprise Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Yuan's troops directly into Langzhong, although bold, even a little presumptuous, but in hindsight this should be the best choice, once Wei Xiaokuan's troops and horses pass through Shu County, relying on Hezhou and Luzhou alone, there is only the division and surrounding, each of which is broken." β
After a pause, Wu Mingche said with a smile: "It can be seen at a glance that the key to breaking the game is to go against the current, Shizhong, you are really burning." β
"It's a no-brainer." Li Xinchen hurriedly said, a little ashamed. He knew that Wu Mingche was more flattering when he said this, but on the other hand, the battle of Bashu was actually a lesson that Li Xinchen learned from Luzhou and Hezhou Diaoyu City in the late Southern Song Dynasty that they could only stick to each other and were difficult to support each other, and were finally broken by each other. In the end, he took advantage of the terrain of the mountains and dragged the Northern Zhou army to death in the mountains.
This is a lesson learned by the blood of many Han men in later generations, and Li Xinchen certainly can't forget it.
Wu Mingche smiled and waved his hand: "You don't have to be modest, if you can have one or two young heroes like you, you can also level the world in four or five years!" β
As he spoke, Wu Mingche's gaze fell on the Ziyun spear in Li Xinchen's hand, and he couldn't help but sigh: "What a heroic man the original owner of this gun was, and now he should be relieved to see that his spear can follow such a person to fight above the Nine Heavens." β
At this time, there was a drum sound in front, Wu Mingche suddenly raised his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is old, and he is slow to speak, and he has arrived at the city gate unconsciously." β
The team behind him stopped again.
