PS: I want to put it on the shelves next month, in order to have enough manuscripts in the next few days after it is put on the shelves, so there may be fewer updates in these days, please forgive me

However, on this line of defense related to the safety of the Southern Dynasties, the node of the general has always been controlled by the Western Liang.

As long as Xiliang still exists, Nanchen has to deploy heavy troops and defend in Baling, Xiangzhou, Yidu and other places to prevent the enemy from crossing the river from Jiangling and deterring the western part of Nanchen, and even the entire hinterland of Nanchen.

It is precisely because of the long-term garrison of large soldiers that Nanchen has repaired and completed the barracks on the line from Baling to Yueyang, and after several generations of business and hoarding, the grain and straw blades are even more sufficient, otherwise Wu Mingche would not have easily achieved great victories nine years ago under the condition that there was a rebellion in Huajiao and a tiger in the Western Liang and Northern Zhou outside.

Therefore, although the preparation days for this expedition were only more than a month, Xiao Maha did not worry about the problems of grain and blades.

Although the Baling battalion is not as good as Jingkou, but after all, it is also one of the best garrisons in Nanchen, and recently the original garrison has been transferred to the Yidu line, under the unified command of Fan Yi, to launch a feint attack on the flank of Jiangling.

Therefore, when Xiao Maha arrived with the fleet of sailors, the entire Baling camp was empty.

"Brother Lu hasn't seen you for a long time!" Xiao Maha smiled and arched his hand at the figure standing outside the camp to greet him, "Brother Lu's broad demeanor is really the same as it was back then!" ”

The man standing in front of Xiao Maha was eight feet tall and unusually burly, it was General Nanchen Pingxi and Yingzhou Thorn Shi Lu Guangda. Seeing Xiao Maha, Lu Guangda hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Zuowei is coming, and the last general will miss the distance, and I ask General Zuowei to forgive him." ”

Looking at this upright man, Xiao Maha couldn't help but smile: "Brother Lu is polite!" Since you and I have fought side by side and have a friendship in robes, at this time brothers call each other! ”

"Brother Xiao's words are in line with the general's intentions!" Sure enough, as Xiao Maha said, Lu Guangda is really a broad person, and when he surrenders his hand, he is really commensurate with Xiao Maha's brothers, but if he wants to call Xiao Maha a brother, he still doesn't have the guts.

After a pause, Lu Guangda said with a smile: "The last general was ordered by General Chunyu to lead more than 10,000 soldiers from Yingzhou to support General Zuowei. The journey is short, so it was lucky that Brother Xiao arrived before, and in the future, so many of our brothers will listen to Brother Xiao's orders! ”

Hearing Lu Guangda say this, Li Xinchen and the others were stunned. Although Chun Yuliang is the commander of the partial division, he is the only two remaining generals in the DPRK and Wu Mingche after all, so Xiao Maha does not expect to be able to mobilize Chun Yuliang, as long as Chun Yuliang can honestly defend Yingzhou in accordance with Chen Ji's will.

At this time, how could Chun Yuliang take the initiative to transfer the soldiers and horses of Yingzhou that should have belonged to him to Xiao Maha?

And Lu Guangda saw that including Xiao Maha, there was a look of surprise on his face, and he hurriedly explained the reason.

It turned out that the veteran Chun Yuliang personally led the army to sit in Yingzhou to deter Xiangyang's Wei Chi Yuan, so Lu Guangda, who was the assassin of Yingzhou, became an idler.

Chun Yuliang has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, how can he not see the grievances of this fierce general, with Xiao Maha as the main attack, the more soldiers and horses under his command, the better, so he simply made a favor, and simply let him take his own soldiers and horses south to Baling, and listen to Xiao Maha's dispatch.

It just so happens that Xiao Maha has not been to the front line of Baling for many years, and he is quite unfamiliar with the situation here, and the generals around Xiao Maha, Ren Zhong and others have also been following Wu Mingche in Huainan, as for Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie and other sons and nephews have never been here at all, let alone understand. Therefore, Lu Guangda came over at this time, but he solved the trouble of Xiao Maha, but he felt like he was sending charcoal in the snow.

Understanding the twists and turns here, Xiao Maha smiled and nodded, while Li Xinchen, Xiao Shilian and others had different expressions. It is not so much that this Chun Yuliang is a man of temperament, but that he sees the entire officialdom clearly. Since it is Xiao Maha who is favored now, there is naturally no need to make trouble with Xiao Maha, this is simply asking for hardship.

So this Shunshui favor is pure and happy, and he also knows that Xiao Maha will definitely not owe this favor in vain, not to mention that in other words, as long as Xiao Maha does not embarrass him, he is actually giving him face.

After all, Chun Yu Liang sat in Yingzhou, but as a partial division that played a deterrent role, the possibility of really going to the battlefield was very small, and Chun Yu was a chariot general, and he didn't have much pursuit of merit - no matter how great the merit was, there was a Wu Mingche pressed on it, unless Wu Mingche retreated from illness, otherwise he would be like this.

Therefore, Chun Yuliang only begged Xiao Maha not to trouble him, and he would naturally help Xiao Maha to defend Yingzhou, and it was best for everyone to not interfere with the river water. To go deeper, Chun Yuliang did this just to avoid participating in the struggle of the various parties in the Southern Chen Dynasty.

After all, once he obeys Xiao Maha's dispatch, he will inevitably fall a mark of the East Palace, and if he doesn't obey, he will naturally not be able to run away from the people who are the assassins of Yangzhou. Therefore, if this Xiao Maha can't be dispatched, it is the best.

"What a calculating old fox." Xiao Shilian whispered indignantly.

Li Xinchen smiled and said: "All living beings in the world have means of self-preservation, and General Chun Yu did this, just because he didn't want to be involved in this whirlpool, and for us, we didn't want to watch such a character get involved, so wouldn't it be very good." ”

Xiao Shilian frowned, but didn't say anything after all. originally thought that this big battle could be killed happily, but who would have thought that before it reached the battlefield, it had already been affected by the intrigue inside and outside the court.

"Why should Boqing worry about this, it is reasonable for the old general Chun Yu to have his concerns, and now he takes the initiative to get out of the matter, which is not a good thing for us," Pei Zilie Zhengse said, "We just need to do what we need to do well." ”

Earlier, after greeting Xiao Maha for a few words, Lu Guangda also made a gesture of please, leading Xiao Maha and others into the barracks.

A huge map was hung on the side of the Chinese army's tent, and Lu Guangda said solemnly while turning sideways to get out of the way to the position of the main general: "This is the map drawn by His Majesty when he came to the front line in Jingzhou nine years ago, and it is also the most detailed map we have now. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Maha's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he didn't rush to the position that belonged to him, and his action also made Lu Guangda's eyes light up.

Xiao Maha didn't notice Lu Guangda's expression, and directly set his eyes on the map. And Pei Zilie, Li Xinchen and others also looked over.

The word "imperial pen" on this map and the slightly yellowed picture scroll show that what Lu Guangda said is good. The map of nine years ago is now in front of everyone.

The land of Xiliang marked with a cinnabar pen on this map is Nanchen's regret nine years ago, and it is also the dream of nine years.
