"Yang Jian is not only young and vigorous, but he has always been an ambitious guy," Xiao Shilian obviously did his homework before this, although he has a casual personality, but he is not the kind of inactive son, and the information about the enemy has long been memorized in his heart, "That guy Yuwen Yong also used Yang Jian to attack Northern Qi before, this person should not be underestimated, and it is a good thing that he was transferred." ”

"Grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige, this is not your consistent style." Li Xinchen couldn't help but chuckle. Xiao Shilian's character is clear to everyone, and it is really rare for him to be so jealous of anyone.

However, Xiao Shilian's jealousy, of course Li Xinchen also understands what kind of person Yang Jian is, Li Xinchen knows better than everyone present, and Yang Jian has actually shown his heroic posture now, but Yu Wenyong has always suppressed it, so it is not so obvious.

According to rumors, Yu Wenyong also sent a person to Yang Jian, but in the end, he didn't care about the result that the person was a little worried, just said "resigned to fate" and did it hastily, maybe Yu Wenyong at that time didn't expect that Yang Jian, who was two years older than himself and was now suppressed by himself, would one day replace the world of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

After all, Yu Wenyong would never have expected that he would only live for thirty-five years.

"So-and-so is just talking about a fact, then Yang Jian is not easy to deal with." Xiao Shilian said angrily, "But if he really dares to come, we will still kill him and throw away his armor!" ”

And Xiao Maha coughed heavily at this time, glared at his son dissatisfied, and then said: "Wei Chi Hui is a veteran who has been famous for a long time among the barbarians of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the thunderous means of leading the army into Shu to pacify Xiao Ji back then, you must also know that you must not take Yang Jian's departure lightly. ”

Pei Zilie and Li Xinchen glanced at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

As Xiao Maha said, although this Wei Chi Hui is a veteran, but also a veteran with a brilliant record, when Wei Chi Hui was ordered by Yu Wentai, the founding emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, to attack the empty Sichuan Shu, with a strange soldier to drive the plank road, starry night, a few days to kill the Sword Pavilion, frightened the unprepared Sichuan Shu Xiao Ji under the command of the state capitals to look at the wind and fall, it can really be described as a thunderous means.

Sixteen years ago, Yuwen Hu led his troops to the east, in the face of the menacing counterattack of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty panicked, only Wei Chi Hui led the troops to advance retrograde, so that the army could retreat safely, and this was also the last time Wei Chi Hui was on the battlefield.

With the gradual growth of a new generation of generals such as Wei Xiaokuan, Yang Jian, and Wang Rail, there is no need for Wei Chi Hui to fight on the battlefield again, and his main task has become to travel around and guard the rear.

After all, compared with those young generals, veterans like Wei Chi Yuan, who have been famous for a long time and have made great achievements, are more deterrent.

Therefore, this time Yuwen Yong changed generals and replaced Yang Jian with Wei Chi Yuan, which is indeed intriguing, but it does not mean that Wei Chi Yuan is a good match, to put it mildly, when Xiao Maha was still waiting to be fed, Wei Chi Hui had already begun to crawl in the battlefield, and this experienced veteran was not so easy to deal with.

This is also why Xiao Maha specifically emphasized that for Wei Chi Yuan, he must maintain the same decision and caution as for Yang Jian.

"How many troops can Wei Chi Yuan mobilize?" Pei Zilie thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Since Yuwen Yong is going north to attack the Turks, there will definitely not be many troops left for him." ”

Xiao Maha bowed slightly: "I don't know how many troops there are, but it is certain that most of the original Xiangyang garrison should have been transferred, and the number of remaining troops should not exceed 50,000, and many of these 50,000 are the troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty after the reorganization, and their fighting spirit can be imagined." What's more, our target this time is not Yangyang, but Gangneung. ”

Li Xinchen, Xiao Shilian and others all looked at each other in surprise, Yuwen Yong arranged it in this way, although he could concentrate the most troops and deal a fatal blow to the Turks, but it would also make the original comprehensive defense become a key defense, after all, no matter how many troops there were in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there would be a certain number after all, and it was obvious that Yuwen Yong did not trust the Northern Qi army that had just been reorganized for a long time.

He was gambling, betting that Nan Chen would continue to attack Huaibei instead of Jingxiang.

"Yu Wenyong is planning to give up Xiliang." Li Xinchen said slowly.

Xiao Shilian snorted and said: "The small country of Xiliang Yuer is just a vassal of the barbarians of the Northern Dynasty, and it is not a place where there are a few cities around Jiangling, the last time Wu Sikong attacked Jiangling, if it wasn't for the intervention of the Northern Zhou, Xiliang would have been ours now." ”

For this point, obviously Xiao Maha and Pei Zilie also agree, Nan Chen's biggest enemy is the Northern Zhou, and Xiliang can only be regarded as a pawn of the Northern Zhou at most, and it is a very weak pawn, as long as there is no Northern Zhou, Xiao Maha is confident that Xiliang will be directly "cut under the horse".

This time, since Yuwen Yong has mobilized the army to the north on such a large scale, he naturally has to be prepared to make sacrifices, and from the current point of view, it is obvious that Yuwen Yong does not want to give up Huaibei, a springboard that can go straight to the south of the Yangtze River, so it is not directly under his own control, and Xiliang, who has not only not made achievements but has always caused trouble over the years, has become Yuwen Yong's best victim.

If Nan Chen is still attacking Huaibei as always, it is naturally the best, even if Nan Chen turns to attack Western Liang, as long as Wei Chi Hui can hold the Xiangyang area and keep the existence of Northern Zhou's forces in Jingzhou, then Yuwen Yong will not care about the survival of Western Liang.

"Has Your Majesty been informed of this?" Li Xinchen remembered something.

Xiao Maha shook his head: "This military report was sent directly to the camp from Huaibei, and it should be forwarded to Your Majesty by a certain person." ”

"Without further ado, please enter the palace to meet Your Majesty now," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, "If it drags on for a long time, Your Majesty will learn this news from elsewhere, it will not be beneficial to the general, or even the entire East Palace, and now that we know who the opponent is, the rest is not up to the general, you and me." ”

Before, Xiao Maha assured Chen Ji that Yuwen Yong would send troops to the north, but now the time has come, Nan Chen has been preparing for so long since the Battle of Luliang, and he can't be idle anymore. The last time the Northern Zhou Dynasty annexed the Northern Qi Dynasty with a thunderous momentum, causing Nan Chen to not even take a sip of the soup, Xiao Maha can remember it clearly, and presumably Chen Ji will never forget it.

Xiao Maha reached straight out to get his coat and hat: "Shizhong's words are true, I will enter the palace now, without further ado, you should also prepare, you should be ready to go on the expedition tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" ”

Li Xinchen and the three of them solemnly bowed their hands at the same time.

The shame of the hasty retreat in the Battle of Luliang must be used to remove the snow with blood and fire!
