Chapter 585: Foothold

PS: I tossed in the hospital for a day because of my friend's tuberculosis, and I am very sorry for not having time to update it in time, I hope you understand, and I sincerely wish you good health

In fact, Li Xinchen still has other thoughts in his heart, and his negotiation with Wei Xiaokuan is far more than just these, after all, these reasons are sometimes very fatal to a rising force, but they have not yet reached the point where Li Xinchen can't wait for a month.

What Li Xinchen really calculated was to be able to take this opportunity to maintain a certain amount of time to recuperate with Northern Zhou, in other words, to transfer the contradiction and let Northern Zhou turn to Nan Chen after knowing that he was a difficult bone to gnaw.

Although this approach is a bit cruel, Li Xinchen has no choice, he has not much attachment and attachment to Nan Chen, and now in order to maintain the territory that he has won with great difficulty and the soldiers and horses that he has worked so hard to pull together, Li Xinchen can only do this.

He needs time to integrate and develop, and he needs time to lick his wounds, not to fight to the death with the Northern Zhou in the vast mountains of Bashu all year round, let alone to beware of a sharp blade that may be stabbed from his back all the time.

Li Xinchen needs to reach a tacit understanding with Wei Xiaokuan, or with the Northern Zhou court behind Wei Xiaokuan, he used the victory of Shu County and Langzhong to tell them that he is a hedgehog, not so easy to provoke, and then naturally he can't let the two sides completely tear their faces, and the battle to the death is not what Li Xinchen wants to see now.

Putting more troops into the bottomless pit of Bashu must not be what the Northern Zhou Dynasty wants to see.

This can't be said to Pei Zilie, because Pei Zilie is still on Nan Chen's side from the bottom of his bones, and Li Xinchen certainly has a feeling of misfortune in doing this, of course he can't say it explicitly. However, Li Xinchen also believes that Pei Zilie will definitely not be able to understand what he means.

After all, Li Xinchen did this for the sake of this group, even if Pei Zilie wanted to express his dissatisfaction, he would definitely not say it clearly, after all, Li Xinchen also knew that this Pei Dashi in front of him was not a foolish and loyal person who didn't know anything.

Or in other words, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were not originally a great unified dynasty, five hundred years of troubled times, people's minds changed, such a dynasty change and wars and killings have obviously made most people tired, and now what Li Min wants is no longer a chaotic era where heroes can have a bright future, but an era of peace.

And what the heroes of this era want to do is no longer to divide one side, but to be able to finally unify the world and end this vast and chaotic world in one fell swoop.

As for the current Nan Chen, it goes without saying that the older generation of monarchs Chen Ji is already old, and how many years can he really control this country, everyone knows it, and Chen Ji's response to the general trend of the world has become more and more sluggish, which is also in the eyes of many people, before Chen Ji resolutely marched to Huaibei after the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty and this time the war in Xiangyang and Huaibei is the best proof.

And after Chen Ji, what kind of virtue is Chen Shubao, the future prince, no need for Li Xinchen to say, Pei Zilie also has some numbers in his heart, so Nan Chen, who lives in a corner, is already destined to become the master of the world in the future, especially Nan Chen's bloated bureaucratic system and the family system that has not been thrown off so far, which makes it even more difficult for Nan Chen.

In the face of such a situation, the easiest way is to use the most brutal means to overturn all this, and to do so, there must be a young and promising person to lead and support.

Obviously, Li Xinchen in front of Pei Zilie is the best choice.

Whether to be Nan Chen's loyal minister or to be the future lord of the world, Pei Zilie must have had some thoughts in his heart, and he is now unswervingly on Li Xinchen's side, and he has obviously told Li Xinchen his answer.

If you want to swallow the world, the first thing you have to be is naturally a foothold. Bashu is obviously Li Xinchen's foothold, Bashu is located in the embrace of the mountains, in the military is famous for "easy to enter, not easy to get out", thousands of years of countless heroes into Bashu, never came out.

For example, Gongsun Shu, who called himself "White Emperor", and Liu Bei, the founding emperor of Shu Han, even if there was Zhuge Liang, who was rumored to be miraculous among the people, as an arm, he could only stop at Qishan in the end.

I am afraid that there is only one Han Gaozu who really has the ability to enter this Bashu and go out.

But Bashu has all kinds of problems, at least it is one of the few places in this troubled era that has not been repeatedly ravaged by war-even the splendid prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River was once affected by Hou Jing's war, and it did not improve until more than 20 years after the founding of the Southern Chen People's Republic of China--Li Xinchen can develop people's livelihood and agriculture as his backing with peace of mind.

It's better than nothing.

This is Li Xinchen's foothold, but Li Xinchen wants to gain a firm foothold here, it is not up to him to have the final say, he needs to get the support of the locals, which Li Xinchen has done, the local Xiajiang Tang clan and local generals are resolutely on Li Xinchen's side, and more importantly, the Ba people who have suffered from Bashu for many years are now under Li Xinchen's command, and Li Xinchen has proved with a series of victories that he has the ability to command the Ba people.

It can be said that Li Xinchen at least has little resistance locally, and his resistance mainly comes from the north and east, that is, the two behemoths of Northern Zhou and Southern Chen.

Nan Chen's imperial court planned to do this, and Li Xinchen didn't count it in his heart, after all, Chen Ji had obviously been unhappy with him for a long time, but Li Xinchen also knew that if he wanted to go back and solve Nan Chen's problem, it should be at least after solving the problem of Northern Zhou.

But the war is like this, and so far the imperial court has not expressed any position, even Xiao Maha's letters are at most only how much encouragement Li Xinchen has, and the words are ambiguous, so that Li Xinchen is not sure of the court's attitude at all.

Sometimes the more you don't say something, the more ambiguous your attitude is, the easier it is for people to feel dangerous.

This is also why Li Xinchen is anxious to have a break with the Northern Zhou, at least there is no need to continue to fight this battle now, Li Xinchen can't support it, and the Northern Zhou can't support it, maybe in the end, Nanchen will attack Li Xinchen's back.

Worries about the future have now outwitted the enemy in front of Li Xinchen.

"Shizhong, have you thought of the conditions for the Zhou people?" Pei Zilie said thoughtfully.

Li Xinchen woke up suddenly, and the corners of his mouth raised: "I definitely won't treat Wei Xiaokuan badly." ”

Pei Zilie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "But you killed Wei Shou, do you really think that Wei Xiaokuan will give up like this and negotiate with you honestly?" ”

"If you were someone else, maybe not, you wouldn't even want to. But Wei Xiaokuan ······ There is still a glimmer of hope. Li Xinchen said lightly, "How do you know if you don't try?" ”

Pei Zilie laughed: "Give it a try······ If you try it, what you try out is the whole Bashu. ”

But Li Xinchen didn't care about Pei Zilie's teasing, he didn't know what he was thinking, and only said after a long time: "He will agree." ”
