Chapter 886: The situation is more complicated
In contrast, the soldiers brought by Li Xinchen were brightly dressed and armored, and they were all high-headed horses captured from Xiangyang, which looked extremely powerful, making many family heads show envious looks when they saw them. If everyone had such soldiers and horses, then this Anding City would have already entered it.
"The general is from Tianshui, and the general should already know the situation in Tianshui." Niu An's voice was very low, obviously for this old man who was over the age of sixteen but still insisted on leading the entire family forward, it was already a little difficult to speak, "The situation on the side of Anding is not as good as Tianshui, when the generals and soldiers took Hanzhong without blood, Yang Jian had already replaced the stable Taishou and generals with his own people, so when we started to resist, Anding City was long out of our hands." ”
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, this is also reasonable, Niu Hong surrendered to Li Xinchen, no matter whether there is a shadow of the Niu clan behind him, Yang Jian cannot ignore it. The county guard on Tianshui's side has not been replaced, I am afraid that firstly, because Wang Kun has been in the local area for a long time, Yang Jian is afraid of startling the snake, and secondly, several families in Tianshui have not yet clearly expressed their intention to rebel, if Yang Jian shows distrust first, it is not necessarily a good thing.
"If there are enough soldiers and horses and siege equipment, my Niu family has decided not to watch Anding City stand there." Niu An said in a deep voice. For the Anding Niu family, Niu Hong's surrender to Li Xinchen is a capital crime to exterminate the clan, so the Niu family has long been unable to escape. What's more, now Niu Hong is already a general under Xiao Shilian, coupled with the relationship between him and Yang Su, even if the Niu family is ruined, there is still a chance to soar, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
It's just that with the current strength of the Niu family, it is obviously still problematic to directly attack Anding City, which has been prepared. Wanting to have stability doesn't mean that you can tolerate unnecessary sacrifices. As the head of the family, Niu An naturally couldn't joke with the lives of his family.
Li Xinchen immediately said in a deep voice: "I have already received news on the road, Yu Yi has already ordered troops to go out, and the army is going straight to Anding, so we don't need to think about the siege of the city for a while, as long as we can strangle this enemy army, then the people in Anding City naturally know where they should go." ”
As soon as Li Xinchen said this, the rest of the family heads suddenly gathered together and talked in a low voice, and Niu An couldn't help but ask: "General, as far as we know, Yu Yi's soldiers and horses should be six thousand to eight thousand, even if two or three thousand are left to defend the city, then the number should be around five thousand, with our current strength, can we really compete with Yu Yi?" ”
Li Xinchen laughed: "I can't be sure if I can fight against a certain now, I don't know if the old master can send someone to take a look at the teams of each family, after all, I am also a newcomer, and I have to understand the situation in this stable place before I can make a judgment." ”
"This is natural!" Niu An bowed slightly, and then turned his gaze to the few family heads with shocked faces, "What, do you think it's inappropriate?" ”
The old man's voice suddenly became loud, and several family heads hurriedly got up and bowed their hands together: "Don't dare!" Obey the arrangement of the old master. ”
Niu An shook his head, and turned to Li Xinchen solemnly: "Here, you should obey the general's arrangement!" ”
"Obey the general's orders!"
Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, and found that he seemed to underestimate this Niu An. But think about it, being able to crisscross the northwest for so many years, this Niu An can be regarded as a local hero who can afford to take and put down.
At this time, it was obvious that Niu An saw very clearly who was the one who could really control the entire battlefield. After all, the snake has to surrender to the dragon who can stir up the storm at will.
————————————-
Ma Shu didn't expect that Wang Kun would be enlightened.
There are many people with the surname Ma in the northwest, the most famous of which is definitely the Fufeng Ma family, more accurately the Maoling Ma family, and the Ma Teng and Ma Chao families in the Three Kingdoms period are the descendants of the Maoling Ma family. And Fufeng Ma's has been developing in the northwest for so many years, of course, it is not only limited to Fufeng, Ma Shuan also has the blood of Fufeng Ma's body, but it can only be regarded as a side branch.
Fufeng Ma's family has declined, so the name of this family will not bring much glory to Ma Suan, but will only make him full of disgust for those families around him who can still rely on the gifts of their ancestors, which is why Ma Suan will stand on Yang Jian's side so resolutely, compared to "colluding" with these families, he admires Yang Jian more for people who are from a poor family but rely on their own hard work to rise step by step.
As for Yin Qian, who was with Ma Suan, he was originally appointed by Yang Jian, so it goes without saying that if he has any different intentions, Yang Jian will let his family not see the sun tomorrow.
Before the chaos in the northwest, Ma Suan and Yin Qian worked together to put Wang Kun, who had secretly reached a deal with the Tianshui Liang clan, under house arrest, and finally took down Wang Kun before the Tianshui Liang clan gathered troops and horses to enter the city, stabilizing the situation in Tianshui City.
However, they are well aware that doing so means that they will have to take a lot of risks next, especially Li Xinchen. This young man who went from a cloth cloth to a general of the expedition to Peking University, and forcibly changed his title from a false seal to a real one, is definitely not so easy to deal with. At least Ma Suan and Yin Qian didn't expect to be able to defeat Li Xinchen.
However, they believe that as long as they can defend the city as solid as gold, then Li Xinchen will naturally not find an opportunity to take advantage of, and after a long time, Li Xinchen will inevitably not be able to hold on, after all, Xiao Guan's Yu Yi has begun to gather troops and horses, and Li Xinchen and those damned families who are making waves here will definitely not sit idly by.
However, these naturally take time, and now is undoubtedly the weakest time for the entire Tianshui City Defense and the time when they need to be vigilant the most. But fortunately, it seems that Wang Kun, who originally did not cooperate with the work, now finally understands that everyone is a grasshopper on the same line, and he actually offered to lead the whole city's Baixin Labor Army.
If it were in normal times, Ma Suan might not be interested in this kind of formality at all, but now it is different, the morale of the army is almost declining at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, if Ma Suan and Yin Qian are still indifferent, then I am afraid that sooner or later, they will be sent to Li Xinchen's army by their own men.
After all, not everyone has the same firm fighting spirit as the two of them, let alone everyone who really wants to sacrifice themselves for Da Zhou and protect Tianshui City, and even Ma Suan and Yin Qian, two outsiders, don't know how many people from the family are in this army, I'm afraid that the rapid decline in morale has a lot to do with them fanning the flames in secret.
