Dai Cai led a few guards through the battlefield full of ruins and corpses.

A small section of the inner city wall of Fancheng has completely collapsed, and the thunderbolt has exerted its due power, coupled with the repeated see-sawing along this small gap, even the rammed earth city wall can not support it after such destruction.

The Bashu army rushed in from here just now, obviously when there was such a gap in the city wall, no one could stop the charge of the Bashu army, especially the morale of the defenders in Fancheng had dropped to a certain point, and they were suddenly hit by such a blow, not to mention, when the enemy's front appeared to loosen at the first moment, Chun Yucen and Luo Yi respectively came up with their personal guards, one of the two sides represented the Northern Zhou forces that took refuge in Li Xinchen's group, and the other represented the family of Southern Chen, Naturally, they didn't want the other party to be in front of them, when they attacked the city just now, Luo Yi and Chun Yucen were at the front, it seemed that they were also part of this huge attacking group, and they were no longer a general.

The Battle of Fancheng was only a part of the entire Battle of Xiangyang, and it was also the beginning, the Northern Zhou side and the Southern Chen side, which were originally two groups standing on opposite sides, although they were now gathered under the command of Li Xinchen, they were still destined to be enemies. And this is actually what Li Xinchen wants to see, after all, now Li Xinchen's group has become stronger and stronger, so it needs to be balanced.

The original Bashu family and the group from Nanchen naturally formed a balance, and then the new Northern Zhou forces entered the entire group, which would only make this balance more chaotic, so the new Nanchen forces represented by Chun Yujia entered the group, and naturally everything would be balanced again.

Each different small group has its own hostile goals and friendly objects, such as the later Nanchen group led by Wu Mingche and Chun Yuliang and the young Nanchen generals led by Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie before are naturally easy to get close to, correspondingly, the Guan Long family led by Yang Su and the later Li Xun and others are obviously easier to get together.

However, in the final analysis, there are also their own contradictions and conflicts between these small groups, and the Guanlong family, which had taken refuge in Li Xinchen before, was the main culprit in stirring up the civil strife in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Even if they want to cooperate, it is based on the original Nanchen forces that have common hostility, but it does not mean that they can unreservedly believe in each other and form a whole, and this balance is also what Li Xinchen wants, and only in this way can Li Xinchen's current group not be a monopoly, of course, for the Bashu family and so on, they don't want to be able to dominate under Li Xinchen.

After all, what the Bashu family wants is not dominant, they know very well that they don't have such strength now, and they will only suffer for themselves, so they have no objection to such a balance, and will even fully support it.

Correspondingly, the rest of the groups did not share the same mentality. Therefore, when competing with the rest of the group, they can also be said to spare no effort.

When Dai Cai entered Fancheng, Chun Yucen and Luo Yi had already swept along the main streets towards the center of the city, and the enemy still had some remnants of the defeated army and would retreat to the palace, but it was conceivable that it would not take long to capture these places.

After the Bashu army poured into Fancheng, Li Xinchen returned to Xiangyang, and if Fancheng was taken, Xiangyang naturally could not be postponed any longer, and an attack must be launched as soon as possible. The work of sweeping the tail here naturally fell on Dai Cai's shoulders.

Only then did Dai know that Li Xinchen came to Fancheng to supervise the attack, and secondly, to inspect Dai Cai's work. Now in Li Xinchen's group, most of the generals who followed Li Xinchen at the beginning of his entry into Shu have been able to take charge on their own.

Needless to say, Chen Zhishen was already the only general under Li Xinchen who could lead the division before entering Shu, and Cao Zhong is now cooperating with Xu Deyan to guard the White Emperor City and coordinate the soldiers and horses of Sichuan and Shu, and he can be regarded as a general. As for Cheng Feng, Li Xinchen's use of him is obviously different from others, Cheng Feng's command only has 800 soldiers and horses, and later added to 1,000, which is the smallest number among these generals, but this 1,000 men and horses are the real elite that everyone envies, and then this army will be supplemented with soldiers and horses from various armies.

According to Li Xinchen's statement, this is an army that performs special tasks, although it is not clear what role they can play, but the generals can see from Li Xinchen's serious expression that Li Xinchen attaches great importance to it, and naturally they dare not slack off, otherwise they will definitely be punished out of thin air when the time comes.

It can be said that these generals have made a difference, and now the only one left is Dai Cai, but Dai Cai also knows that it is not to blame Li Xinchen for not giving himself enough opportunities, in the final analysis, it is because of his always cautious personality that he can't rob Chen Zhishen and others in many cases.

The reason why Chen Zhishen was able to rise step by step is mainly because this guy rushes to kill and does not want to die, and the execution of orders is not ambiguous at all, Li Xinchen already has enough ability to control the overall situation, what is needed is to dare to fight and rush, and finally implement Li Xinchen's sometimes whimsical strategic thinking to the ground.

Dai Cai doesn't force himself to become a person like Chen Zhishen, after all, no matter how his character is already like this, even if he forcibly changes, he will definitely not be as good as Chen Zhishen. With the gradual expansion of the scope of Li Xinchen's subordinates' control, even if Li Xinchen is capable, it is impossible for him to master every battlefield anytime and anywhere, so there will naturally be a place for Dai Cai.

This time the battle of Fancheng was actually a test for Dai Cai by Li Xinchen. After winning Fancheng, Dai Cai proved his ability, and then he was indispensable to be in charge.

And Dai Cai's performance in this battle is really good.

Therefore, when Pei Zilie saw Li Xinchen for the first time, he already knew what would happen next: "Dai Zidong is also included in the list?" ”

"Follow a certain from the White Emperor City to Xiangyang City, this partial general can no longer be a general." Li Xinchen said decisively, "It's time to promote up." ”

Pei Zilie hesitated: "But the court is ······."

"It doesn't matter if the court is willing to do so," Li Xinchen directly interrupted Pei Zilie, "Whether Chen Zhishen or Dai Cai, he commands thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers, but he is just a partial general, and he is inevitably a little condescending, and you can also see the merits they have made, the court can't count on it, and the reward that should be given can't be worse than them at all." ”
