Chapter 425: The Entanglement of Interests Behind It
Li Xinchen frowned, looking at the urgent report, Pei Zilie's handwriting was a little sloppy, indicating that his position was also messed up when he learned the news. However, Li Xinchen always felt that something was wrong, and just stared at every word, as if he wanted to eat this thin piece of paper in one bite.
Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan······
Li Xinchen repeatedly recited these two names upside down in his heart, two names that were enough to be deafening in this era.
Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xinchen quietly, he had expected Li Xinchen to have such a look, but then Li Xinchen showed a smile on his face, but Xiao Shilian couldn't understand: "When is this, it is estimated that after this year, Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan will come to the door to wish us a happy New Year, you are still in the mood to laugh." ”
Now that it is the end of the year, of course the Northern Zhou Dynasty will not easily move troops, after all, even if they want to attack, the soldiers below may not have this mind, so there is a chance that this attack will be delayed until the beginning of spring next year.
But no matter when it is attacked, is there any difference for the Northern Zhou?
The lineup of Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan is already an out-and-out "knife for killing chickens", and even in the hearts of most people, don't use any tricks at all, as long as you push it all the way with a dignified formation, you can completely crush Li Xinchen.
Li Xinchen unhurriedly handed the urgent report back to Xiao Shilian, stood up and stretched: "Don't you think these two candidates are very interesting?" ”
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”
Knowing that his brain was not easy to use, and it was already empty at such a critical juncture, Xiao Shilian simply didn't think about it, stomped his feet and said, "Okay, when are you still selling Guanzi!" ”
Li Xinchen pointed to the urgent report: "Wei Chi Hui is in front, Wei Xiaokuan is in the back, Wei Chi Hui's order has come down, and Wei Xiaokuan's has not yet, but nine times out of ten it will come down······ Boqing, don't you think there's something wrong? ”
"Are you saying that Wei Xiaokuan may not come to Bashu at all?" Xiao Shilian also showed joy, but he immediately shook his head, "Even if there is no Wei Xiaokuan, Wei Chi Yuan is so easy to deal with?!" Shizhong, don't think that if you defeat Wei Chi Yi once, you will be able to easily defeat him next time. ”
Li Xinchen chuckled: "Wei Xiaokuan is definitely coming, so don't think nonsense." ”
Xiao Shilian was stunned, then frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"Boqing, don't forget," Li Xinchen said in a good time, "Wei Xiaokuan is who's person, and Wei Chi Yuan is who's person." ”
"Shhh Xiao Shilian couldn't help but gasp.
Although Wei Xiaokuan and Wei Chi Hui were both Zhuguo figures in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the relationship between the two was not very good, and in the final analysis, it was actually an increasingly tense relationship between Xianbei and the Han people. Wei Xiaokuan is not a person who likes to play with intrigues, so he has stood on Yang Jian's side with a clear banner before, and has not hesitated to speak out in support of Yang Jian in several major decisions.
And Wei Chi Hui naturally needless to say, he has no good impression of Yang Jian at all, and he has not heard of any intersection with Wei Xiaokuan. In the past, the two of them guarded the south and the north respectively, at least there would be no chance to deal with each other, but now let the two of them lead troops into Shu, behind this is not only a matter of exterminating Li Xinchen, but also involving the two major interest systems in the Northern Zhou Dynasty that have formed a climate and are confronting!
Speaking of this, Li Xinchen was also a little helpless. Now it is obviously impossible to preside over the Northern Zhou Dynasty with Yuwenyun, a monarch who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, but Yuwen Yun, the most talented Qi king in the Yuwen royal family, and Yu Wenyun's father-in-law Yang Jian.
It is precisely because Li Xinchen single-handedly concocted the Battle of Jiangling that Nan Chen suddenly opened up the situation in Jingzhou, which made it impossible for Yu Wenxian to resolutely retreat to the second line to avoid suspicion as in history, and now the situation in the world has become more and more turbulent, far from the appearance of the absolute dominance of Northern Zhou in another time and space, so it is absolutely impossible for Yu Wenxian to refuse Yu Wenyong's entrustment.
This also led to the evolution of the Northern Zhou Dynasty from the Yang Jian family in another time and space, and Wei Chi was on the outside line to the current confrontation between the two powers.
Yang Jian wants to integrate the power of a country as he did in history, but it is not so easy.
Therefore, the Northern Zhou Dynasty court became like this, and Li Xinchen's "credit" was also in it.
What's more, before Yu Wenyun, the new emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, had not expressed his attitude and opinions, Yu Wenxian now had the advantage, and Yang Jian could only be regarded as his deputy.
Of course, this is what Li Xinchen is happy to see, although he has never imagined that Yu Wenyong's most trusted and relied on younger brother will be an idle person, but at least it is easier to deal with than Yang Jian, the great emperor who single-handedly created the prosperous era of the Sui and Tang dynasties······
And now that Wei Chi Hui actually has the ability and strength to pacify Bashu, the Northern Zhou Dynasty will also send Wei Xiaokuan, which is naturally a question and containment of Wei Chi Hui, as for whether Yang Jian wants to contain Yu Wenxian behind this, Li Xinchen and Xiao Shilian are not the parties, so they naturally do not praise it.
But one thing is certain, even if these two veterans who entered Shu will not show contradictions on the surface, they will definitely not deal with each other in private!
Xiao Shilian pondered and said: "Shizhong, according to what you say, then this battle is not unbeatable, have you thought about where to fight from and how to fight?" ”
Li Xinchen shook his head: "Of course not, Hezhou and Luzhou have just been defeated, we are now the most short of soldiers, if we want to fight, how can it be so easy to fight······"
Immediately after that, his voice lowered and he said to himself: "If you can push out the battle line, it is best not to cause damage to the southern counties and Ba counties that have already begun to build······
Xiao Shilian was speechless for a while, and could only smile wryly and shake his head.
This guy really dares to think about it!
At this time, Li Ping walked over quickly: "General Qiyu, Tang Tai is guarding the door and asking to see him, saying that the Pu people have sent someone to contact the Xiajiang Tang Clan!" ”
"Pu Ren?" Xiao Shilian repeated in astonishment, obviously the name was a little unfamiliar, but he quickly reacted, clapped his hands fiercely, and said with a smile, "We really lack something, just come to the door!" ”
Li Xinchen also showed a relaxed look on his face, and nodded slightly: "It is reasonable that these Ba people can't sit still." Now it is no longer Wei Chi or Wei Xiaokuan who needs to be worried. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Shilian looked at Li Xinchen in surprise.
"What I'm worried about now is that the imperial court thousands of miles away don't take advantage of this opportunity to intervene in it," Li Xinchen subconsciously looked to the east, "With the Ba people to vote, this situation is already confident that it can support itself, but if someone stabs him in the back, then even if he has the ability to pass through the sky, he can only defend Ba County." ”
