What's more, in the 300-year war, the two sides went back and forth on both sides of the Huaishui River, and it seems that it is not wrong to say that the two Huai have been completely destroyed.

In the land of the two Huai, the garrison of the city is far more than the towns and towns where commerce and trade come and go, not to mention the land cultivated by the people, the grain and grass of the army on both sides in the land of the two Huai, mainly rely on the rear supply, fortunately, whether it is Hebei Guanzhong or Jiangnan, at this time it can be regarded as a big granary, and it is more than enough to supply the army for combat confrontation, but once the army crosses the Huaishui attack, the grain and grass is not so easy to guarantee, after all, it is difficult to ensure the complete supply of grain and grass in Huainan or Huaibei only by relying on local supply and long-distance transportation.

The land of Lianghuai is like a barrier set up by the Northern and Southern Dynasties for themselves, and it is difficult for the enemy to get in, but it is also difficult for them to get out.

But now, with the annexation of the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Northern Qi Dynasty, the situation on both sides of the Huaishui River has undergone changes that are difficult to ignore.

Although it has been developed for hundreds of years by the four generations of the Southern Dynasties, the land south of the Yangtze River is still far from being the granary of the world in this era, and even there is a big difference from Guanzhong, Hebei and other rich areas.

Needless to say, with the gradual recovery of vitality in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, Guanzhong's unique geographical conditions and environment made it soon become a wealthy place in the world, which can be seen from the capital of the Northern Dynasty and the capital of the Sui and Tang dynasties later set up in Chang'an, Guanzhong.

Therefore, the Northern Dynasties were in a long-term division before, and the Southern Chen and the Northern Qi were still able to compete with each other, but now that the Northern Dynasties are unified, it is still possible for the Southern Chen to resist with the Huainan defensive line, but if you want to cross the Huaishui attack like this battle of Luliang, I am afraid it is a little self-sufficient.

Whether it is from the business and accumulation of both sides, or from the current general trend of the world, there is nothing wrong with Xiao Maha's words, and now whether it is Nanchen or Northern Zhou, it is difficult to make progress on the two Huai defense lines, and it is necessary to change directions.

Li Xinchen rubbed his chin lightly, and his gaze slowly shifted to Huaixi. The east is the sea, Li Xinchen does not have the audacity of Sun Quan's cross-sea attack during the Three Kingdoms, not to mention that for Nan Chen, there is no time to be cornered.

At least compared to Nan Chen, who experienced the Battle of Luliang in history, Nan Chen at this time was much better, and even if he did not maintain an advantage in the front-line theater, he was not a disadvantage. This means that Nan Chen still has enough strength to launch an attack or adjust the defensive line.

"After Huaixi······ It's Jinghu. Li Xinchen said in a deep voice, turning his head to look at the Xiao family father and son next to him.

Xiao Shilian frowned: "Brother Li, are you fighting Xiliang's idea?" ”

After Huaixi is Jinghu, but now only the southern half of Jinghu is actually in the hands of Nanchen, that is, the four counties of Jingnan where Liu Bei once settled during the Three Kingdoms period, and the richest and most important Jiangling area of Jinghu is Xiliang, and the strategic place in Xiangyang area north of Jiangling is all in the hands of Northern Zhou.

At the same time, continuing to the west from Jinghu, the dividing line between Nanchen and Northern Zhou is not a big river, but along the Wujiang River, Shennongjia, Wushan and the southwest obliquely, and along the 100,000 mountains in the Yungui area of the later generations, it is very different from the dividing line between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Sichuan and Shu Mountains, and then along the Dajiang River and the north, forming the most "weird" dividing line of the confrontation between the North and the South Dynasties in history, but because the southwest of Jinghu Lake is actually a barren land in this era, it is reasonable that such a dividing line will be formed. Obviously, neither side has much interest in continuing Jinghu to the southwest, that is, southern Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou in the later generations.

However, this land of Yungui is barren, but it does not mean that the land of Jinghu is also barren, especially the Jiangling occupied by Xiliang now, as early as the Han Dynasty, it has been one of the richest land in the world, especially in these years, it has not been ravaged by too many wars, so it is definitely a treasure land, and it is such a treasure land, but it is not in the hands of Nan Chen.

Xiliang is only a small country in front of the two behemoths of Nanchen and Northern Zhou, which was established by the descendants of the royal family of Nanliang supported by the Northern Dynasty at the beginning, and the soldiers are few and far between, but because of the backing of the Northern Zhou, Nan Chen has not attacked Xiliang for so many years, but it is impossible to say that Nan Chen does not have a little covetousness for the rich land of Xiliang.

It's just that because the main energy and army were involved in Lianghuai before, they can only take a defensive position in the Jinghu area, and they can only have more than enough strength for Xiliang.

Seeing Li Xinchen's gaze turn to Jinghu, Xiao Maha and Xiao Shilian naturally understood what he meant. For Nan Chen, instead of continuing to hit his head on the turtle shell in Huaibei, it is better to turn the troops, take down Jiangling and Xiangyang first, and then plot to go north, after all, compared to the two Huai, the Northern Zhou's defense in the Jingxiang area is far from being strict.

Xiao Maha said in a deep voice: "Although Xiliang is a small country, after all, it was established with the support of the Northern Zhou Dynasty back then, and if we attack Jiangling, it will actually be equivalent to declaring war on the Northern Zhou." ”

Li Xinchen chuckled: "I didn't say that I would attack Xiliang now." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Maha was stunned for a moment.

But Li Xinchen was not in a hurry to explain, because he had no way to explain this problem. In history, Wen Taowu was strategic, and he was definitely a generation of heroes, and Wen Yong of the Northern Zhou Dynasty would die in a few months. It was the spring of 578 A.D., and although Li Xinchen didn't remember how long Yu Wenyong lived, he remembered very well that he hadn't survived this summer.

(Author's note: Yu Wenyong died in June 578)

Yuwen Yong is only thirty-six years old this year, it is the time to look at the world and show his ambitions, no one thought that this young and promising emperor would die so quickly, so whether it is in the heir or the rest of the preparations are quite insufficient, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, which has just annexed the Northern Qi and is ready to solve the Turkic problem, is actually still in the panic of war.

Yu Wenyong died in a hurry, Yu Wenyun hurriedly succeeded to the throne, this mediocre emperor to a certain extent was actually just a puppet supported by Yang Jian and others in the struggle for power and profit, and he also "lived up to expectations" to build a lot of construction and extravagance, and was soon hollowed out of his body - this is not at all a high-grade opponent with another comrade Song Duzong who has been fighting for seven consecutive years - and finally reigned for a year and hurriedly conceded.

It can be said that from 578 to 579 was the most chaotic year in the entire Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwenyun was mediocre and inactive, and the contradictions of courtiers such as Yang Jian and Wei Chi Hui were not suppressed by Yuwenyong, and they had become increasingly obvious, and even the Lord had seen a white-hot stage.

At that time, it will definitely be a year with great opportunities for Nan Chen.

Especially now Nan Chen still has an army of a hundred battles sharpened by blood and fire, and most of the elite generals who have not been lost in Luliang, and Nan Chen in history can only watch even if it is the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
