Chapter 998: Prisoners of War

Looking at Xu Shanxin, who came to see death as if he was coming home, Li Xinchen did not embarrass him.

This guy can also be regarded as a loyal minister, and Li Xinchen is still counting on being able to reuse him after subduing Nan Chen. After all, after that, the territory expanded outward, but it was indispensable to have some loyal and lonely envoys.

Serving Xu Shanxin with good wine and meat, Li Xinchen did not plan to put this guy back again, but changed someone to reply to Chen Shujian.

The next day, the besieging Shu Han army gave way to the south gate road, and Chen Shujian and Chen Shushen led the army to withdraw from Xiangzhou City and retreat to Pingxiang. And Li Xinchen's movements were also very fast, the originally prepared sailors went down the river, and the defenders in Hengyang, Xiangdong and other places were either transferred to Xiangzhou before, or they had already dispersed, while the local officials were looking down on the wind.

The police and Songzi have already made good examples, what else do they have to hesitate about, anyway, when Chen Shujian leaves, it is obvious that he will abandon these places.

Looking at the large areas of rivers and mountains on the map replaced with the mark of Shu Han, Li Xinchen was full of emotion. The first line of Xiangshui, but it is the Hunan of later generations, the people are fierce, and they have always produced brave and loyal people, and Hengyang and other places are famous for being easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Southern Chen Imperial Court did not have the slightest intention of rescuing Chen Shujian and supporting the war in Jingnan, so it could only cheapen Li Xinchen for nothing.

If the Southern Chen Imperial Court could draw out 20,000 soldiers and horses to come, Chen Shujian could still rely on Hengyang to retreat, but now that his thousands of remnants of the army were defeated, it became unrealistic to defend the huge Jingnan.

After Xiangzhou······ It's Ganzhou.

Li Xinchen's gaze shifted along the map, by the way, I almost forgot, there are two annoying guys in Yingzhou and Jiangling.

Xiao Shilian is naturally idle, and it is naturally impossible for him, a general, to give Li Xinchen a front and a hand every day, so the task of taking the soldiers and horses south is naturally handed over to him. Of course, Li Xinchen not only wanted Xiao Shilian to take these state capitals, but also wanted him to fight all the way south to the edge of Lingnan.

At the same time, Li Xinchen also sent a team of Ba soldiers, but these people did not follow the siege of the city, but were responsible for contacting the Wulingman, Lingnan Yueren, etc., who had escaped into the mountains, and by the way sought to open up the road to Nanzhong.

Because Li Xinchen came to Jingnan, he was surprised to find that Nan Chen's actual control power is actually far from as vast as he imagined, from Jingnan to Lingnan is mostly mountains and forests, and Nan Chen's decree can actually only wander on the plains, once they enter the deep mountains, it is the world of barbarians, of course they will not care about what the government says.

Therefore, Li Xinchen had to go through the Ba people, who were barely regarded as them in the same status, and tell them about the new policies of the Shu Han government, after all, if they were not forced by the war and the oppression of the government, of course these barbarians would also want vast arable land, not the days of being with tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests.

After stabilizing Jingnan, to the south can attack Lingnan and cover Nanzhong, and to the north can also turn it into a huge granary. Huguang was a first-class rich land in later generations, but now because the center of gravity of China is still in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, this side is vast and sparsely populated, and it is naturally barren.

With Bashu as a model, Li Xinchen did not feel that it was difficult to develop Jingnan.

But there is no way for him to stop now.

As the Shu Han army arrived in Suizhou along the water, Chen Huiji, the assassin of Jingzhou stationed in Yingzhou, could not sit still, and hurriedly retreated to Jiangzhou with the remaining troops and ships.

Jingzhou sailors have already defected, Chen Huiji does not expect his few broken ships to be able to resist Li Xinchen, plus the enemy is forced from Suizhou and Baling, Yingzhou has no other side than facing Jiangling is a friendly army, if he does not leave at this time, then I am afraid that he will really be trapped in a lonely city like Xiao Maha.

It's just Jiangzhou······ Li Xinchen looked at Yutu, a little helpless.

Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Huang Play has expressed his devotion to Li Xinchen through Pei Yi, the Taishou of Xunyang County and Pei Zilie's father.

As for the rest of Jiangling, Li Xinchen is not worried.

Xiao Maha wants to fight, it doesn't mean that all the soldiers under him want to fight······

While thinking, Li Xinchen strode out of the mansion that once belonged to Chen Shujian, the king of Changsha, who knew the soldiers, and the importance of the army can also be seen from the layout of this mansion, opposite the mansion is the school field of the Xiangzhou garrison, and a large number of prisoners are gathering on this school field for screening work.

Li Xinchen looked at these dejected soldiers, and before he could speak, Tang Xiao hurriedly greeted him: "Your Highness! ”

This kid suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yiling, although he finally took the camp, but he still felt that he was holding his breath, this time the battle of Xiangzhou once again took the lead, and the first army to rush into the warehouse was under his command, and finally saved face under the gaze of Li Xinchen, which naturally made him very excited.

But excitement is excitement, Li Xinchen came over in person, he still didn't dare to be sloppy, after all, there were a lot of prisoners around here, and many of them were unwilling to surrender after being captured outside the city last night, so Tang Xiaosheng was afraid that there would really be some accidents.

Seeing that the guards were nervously looking at the prisoners of war, and the prisoners of war looked at this side with more worry and fear, Li Xinchen smiled, stretched out his hand to push away Li Ping, who was facing a great enemy in front of him, nodded at Tang Xiao and walked straight to the prisoners of war.

Of course, the prisoners of war also knew who the young man in front of them was from Tang Xiao's title, and they were all a little flustered for a while.

Li Xinchen, this is the well-known general of Changsheng, the king of Shu Han, judging from his devastating attack on Xiangzhou today, he must be the emperor of Jiangnan in the future!

The sudden appearance of such a figure in front of them made them a little overwhelmed.

And Li Xinchen dragged over a wooden barrel, sat there by himself, and said with a smile: "Whether you want to go home, or want to join the army, or go to the workshop in the rear of Shu Han as a contract to sign a contract, these can be, tell me, have these people embarrassed you?" ”

As he spoke, Li Xinchen's eyes glanced at Tang Xiao and the others. The eyes of the prisoners of war were staggered, and they did not dare to say more. And Li Xinchen also roughly understood that since he left Kuimen, there have been several major battles along the way, and the army's losses are still not small, so these generals must be able to replenish soldiers and horses nearby, so I am afraid that there will be a strong pull and a strong buy.

Li Xinchen's eyes looked at Tang Xiao and the rest of the generals who rushed over with an embarrassed expression.

"Don't be afraid, since X has given you these choices, then I will fulfill my promise," Li Xinchen said with a smile, "Then X is here to watch today, if anyone disagrees with your choice, then X will give them a good look." ”
