It can be said that this is also the most disappointed place for Han Baohu in Northern Zhou now, he was originally on Yang Jian's side, but Yang Jian has no way to help Yu Wenxian for a while, and it seems that Yang Jian has no intention of sitting down and talking to Yu Wenxian.

In Han Baohu's view, the danger of foreign enemies such as Li Xinchen and Xiao Maha is obviously far better than Yu Wenxian, and of course Yu Wenxian is not a good thing······

Han Baohu no longer expects to get anything from Northern Zhou, no reinforcements, no food and grass, which shows that in Yang Jian's eyes, Han Baohu has become an out-and-out outcast son, and the abandoned son is not necessarily to be sacrificed, Han Baohu is still young, he doesn't want to let himself become a meaningless outcast and become a victim of Yang Jian.

Maybe in this comparison, Li Xinchen is indeed a good choice.

Although Li Xinchen's territory is only Bashu and Hanzhong, at least now Li Xinchen is actively expanding abroad, at least now the generals under Li Xinchen's command are young enough and the fighting spirit of the soldiers and horses is strong enough, these soldiers have never doubted the victory under Li Xinchen's command, which can be seen from the performance of these soldiers who attacked Yangping Pass.

When they attacked Yangping Pass, their morale never changed significantly, and everything could be said to be in order and in an orderly manner, while in contrast, the defenders of Yangping Pass were constantly experiencing ups and downs, which Han Baohu could clearly feel.

This shows that these soldiers have no doubts that the battle of Yangping Pass will be won in the end, and on the contrary, the defenders of Yangping Pass have no idea what the situation will develop into in this battle, so they do not know what they should do and what will happen.

Maybe it's because I'm not qualified as a commander, or maybe it's because ······ This great war, which was once regarded as the most important war by oneself, was not so meaningful, and the sacrifices of these soldiers were not important from the perspective of the unification of the whole world, and even played a counterproductive role.

Han Baohu was a little entangled for a while, at this time the result had come out, and what he cared about was no longer the result, but which was right and wrong this time?

At this time, Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand: "Brother Han, although we have dreams, but now our strength is still very small, I don't know if you are interested in joining us?" ”

Han Baohu was slightly shocked, and raised his head to meet Xiao Shilian.

Xiao Shilian looked at him with a smile, not caring at all that Han Baohu was very close to him, and he didn't care that Han Baohu might hit him if he stretched out his hand.

In the end, Han Baohu stretched out not a fist, but a palm, and he slapped it on Xiao Shilian's hand, and Xiao Shilian pulled it hard, and Han Baohu stood up suddenly.

Han Baohu immediately withdrew his hand and solemnly arched his hand: "The last general is not talented, and he is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

And Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand to hold him up, and said with a smile: "With Brother Han here, it will be smoother to conquer the world in the future." ”

Han Baohu hesitated for a moment, but nodded solemnly.

Maybe I should also change the way of thinking and behaving, maybe this way can get closer to my dream.

————————————————-

Cao Xiaoda stretched out his hand to hold the helmet and looked at the battlefield in front of him.

The Northern Zhou army was retreating, or rather, retreating. This sneak attack can be said to be the end of the defeat of the Northern Zhou army, but fortunately, this failure should not be a fiasco, at least Cao Xiaoda once broke through Xiao Maha's defense line, forcing Lu Guangda's troops to retreat half a mile, and even the camp was lost, and correspondingly, Chen Zhishen's camp was almost not harassed, and only a partial division launched a feint, but it was quickly repulsed.

However, soon Chen Zhishen's department reacted, and went forward to cut off the retreat route of the Northern Zhou army, but Cao Xiaoda was not ambiguous, and led the guards to turn back, with Cao Xiaoda leading the elite to open the way in front, Chen Zhishen, who was not good at defense, was naturally easy to suffer, and the army spread out on both sides and had to get out of the way, so that Cao Xiaoda successfully retreated to Xiangyang City.

At the same time, Pei Zilie's subordinates changed Li Xinchen's banner, and Li Xinchen led the Chinese army, which was originally in full formation, to go south along the moat and directly threaten Cao Xiaoda's flank.

However, it seems that he realized that Cao Xiaoda had already prepared, so Li Xinchen had no intention of directly launching an attack at all, but only led the army on the side of the road where Cao Xiaoda reached the city gate, and it is conceivable that as long as Cao Xiaoda led the army to retreat, Li Xinchen would definitely lead the army to attack.

Compared with Li Xinchen's calmness, Xiao Maha was obviously a little embarrassed, after all, Li Xinchen and Xiao Maha thought that Cao Xiaoda's main attack direction should be separated, and by creating chaos at Chen Zhishen and Lu Guangda's camp, the entire camp was finally thrown into chaos.

This should be the most effective way, after all, the gap that exists between Xiao Maha and Li Xinchen is what Cao Xiaoda can take advantage of.

However, Cao Xiaoda did not do this, almost all the soldiers and horses directly broke through Xiao Maha's military village, this time Cao Xiaoda used more than five thousand soldiers and horses, tearing apart Lu Guangda's flank, so that Lu Guangda was caught off guard, after all, Lu Guangda could not arrange so many troops on the flank, and Xiao Maha had no choice but to lead the army to fight and retreat, if it wasn't for Chen Zhishen and Li Xinchen's reaction fast enough, I'm afraid that at this time Xiao Maha would have to build the next line of defense, or simply retreat directly to Ren Zhong's army.

But even so, Xiao Maha's damage should be above Cao Xiaoda, and Xiao Maha's counterattack came quickly, but Cao Xiaoda did not continue to entangle with Xiao Maha, Li Xinchen's appearance made Cao Xiaoda have to stop in time.

The gate of Xiangyang opened again, and a group of Northern Zhou troops quickly drove out, lined up along the moat, and at the same time, the city was brightly lit, and all the crossbowmen were already aimed at the city.

Obviously, for Cao Xiaoda's retreat, the city has long been prepared.

In the flickering firelight, Li Xinchen quietly looked at the scene in front of him, and Pei Zilie walked to his side and smiled bitterly: "The crossbowmen are condescending, and there are reinforcements to cover the flanks, we can hardly find a chance, even if it is Chen Zhishen's side, I am afraid that we will face Cao Xiaoda's most resolute resistance." This time······ The general is really at a loss. ”

"It seems that the lesson we gave to Cao Xiaoda in Cangxi Valley is still very profound, even if we concentrate on attacking, we will not choose us with fewer people as the target," Li Xinchen said with a bitter smile, "It is one thing for the general to underestimate the enemy, and Cao Xiaoda's surprise is also another thing. ”

"Don't you feel that it's because Cao Xiaoda has seen the situation in front of him clearly and intends to make a judgment in his favor?" Pei Zilie asked thoughtlessly at this time.

Li Xinchen looked at him in surprise, and then his expression changed: "You mean ······?"

Pei Zilie frowned and said, "Maybe Cao Xiaoda is also artificially choosing an opponent for himself in this way?" ”
