Shu Chen

Chapter 375
In early summer and April, there is not enough rain, and the water level of the river is not high.

This made it much easier for Cao Rui to deal with Sun Quan's rescue.

He was full of anger at Jiangdong's frequent intrusions, and he was very well prepared this time. When the warlord came to Jingzhou, it was the general governor Wang Chang who shilled the south and forged the iron chain day and night, connecting the Mian River and locking the river!

Therefore, Sun Quan suffered a hidden loss when he rushed to help.

Rao Jiangdong, which is known for its elite navy, was caught off guard, and the warship in front was intercepted by an iron chain hidden under the water surface and lost speed, causing a blockage of the entire fleet.At this time, Wei Guo took the opportunity to put down the sharp wood that had been prepared in the upstream, and smashed through dozens of fighting ships downstream;

Ling Jiangdong lost nearly a thousand soldiers before he joined the battle.

But when Sun Quan ordered the fleet to retreat downstream to land and come to fight again, he found that Cao Rui was in charge of the camp, with high fortifications and deep ditches.It is almost a copy of last year's Jiangdong trapped Shiyang City, turning the rescue into a fortification.

Conquering tough problems has never been Jiang Dong's forte.

However, in desperation, only reluctantly.

Sun Quan, who was eager to rescue, put on his armor and went to the battle. He used a lot of money to raise the dead men who went up first and the tigers who got off the guards as the vanguard, and attacked day and night.

However, the two sides fought for nearly ten days, with countless casualties, and the Wei army's camp was still as firm as a rock.

Because of Cao Rui's ruthlessness this time, he also put on armor to personally supervise the battle, and used another emperor's own soldiers and tiger guards to fight, and also used property and official positions to stimulate the soldiers to fight to the death.

Things turned around on No.13.

Zhu Ran, who was trapped by the troops led by Wei Wangchang, knew that his soldiers and horses had become a burden to Sun Wu, so he had the desire to break through the siege.

They gathered soldiers to declare their will to die, and vowed that after returning home, they would share their own property and land with the pawns who died, and recruited more than [-] dead soldiers to pretend to break out of the encirclement and charge against Wei Wangchang's troops.After attracting and restraining Wang Chang's troops, he set fire to the food, supplies, etc., and led the rest of the soldiers to break out from the other side with light clothes.Surviving with severed tails, at the cost of sixty-seven out of ten army losses, was finally able to rendezvous with Jiangdong's reinforcements.

Seeing this, Sun Quan held his hands and wept, and retreated.

Because he has already received the news that Pan Junbu returned after a disastrous defeat
Under the spontaneous guidance of the Jingman tribe, Wuhuan Tuqi, led by Qianhong and Xiahouxian, quickly found the whereabouts of Pan Jun's tribe.Pan Jun, who was all enemies and had no food and fodder to wait for for a long time, followed the mountain as much as possible while fighting and retreating.

But beyond Jingshan, how many hills are there to stop the Wuhuan Tuqi charge?

When Pan Jun traveled down the Zhangshui River and was about to reach Maicheng, Qian Hong and Xia Houxian found an opportunity to divide the Wuhuan Tuqi into two teams to attack left and right.

The morale of Pan Jun's troops, who had no support from the car formation and was panicked, inevitably collapsed.

Not many died in battle, but countless people fled by surrendering or fleeing into the water.Pan Jun, who supervised more than [-] soldiers, had only [-] left after entering Maicheng, and more than [-] of them returned from the inland after the war.

It was a battle, and Jiangdong was defeated.

More than [-] people were killed before the battle, and more than [-] people were captured by Wei Guo.Even though Sun Quan had previously promised to distribute the [-] Shanyue elite soldiers recruited by Zhuge Ke to the generals, it could no longer inspire the fighting spirit of the various ministries.

The Wei State killed and injured a total of more than [-] people. Although they did not receive supplies, food and fodder, they captured a large number of prisoners, which can be called a great victory.

It was a disgrace in the battle of Xueshiting.

But fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

Before Cao Rui had time to reward the soldiers and show off his martial arts, the battle report from Guanzhong turned his joy into sadness—the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei rebelled and worked together with the Han army to wipe out the right part of the Southern Huns
Liu Gaosheng was killed before the battle, and was handed down by the Han army to hang it on the top of the city of Chengdu; three out of ten tribesmen died in battle, and the Han army collected their corpses and built a Beijing temple, and the rest of the captives, women and children, cattle, sheep, war horses, etc. The Han army and the Tuoba tribe were divided.

The news was forwarded by Liu Bao, the left side of the Southern Huns.

As for why he found out, it was because Tuoba Liwei also wrote a letter ordering a prisoner to go to Xiu Tuze.

In his letter, he first talked about the history of his own tribe's transfer from Bingzhou to Liangzhou, such as being kind to Wei Guo and helping him kill Kebi Neng and Bu Dugen, and then counting his downfall when he became a bereaved dog. In this way, it can be asserted that the Luoyang court had sinister intentions towards the nomadic tribes.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Gaoshengyuan on the right side once said to him privately that Wei Guo did not want to see Liu Bao become the great Chanyu out of consideration for the stability of the frontier, so he planned to support Liu Gaoshengyuan to continue his father's imprisonment in Beibei. The government of the Southern Huns.Therefore, Liu Gaoshengyuan promised that if Tuoba Liwei could help him attack Liu Bao, they would form an alliance of brothers and watch each other and so on.

In the end, Nai claimed that he would migrate to Mobei. Before leaving, he warned Liu Bao about his past mistakes. He hoped that Liu Bao would not repeat the same mistakes, and he would rather use this sentiment to make the two tribes laugh away their grievances from now on.

After Liu Bao got the letter, for some unknown purpose, he passed the original to Sima Yi, governor of Yongliang.

It also attached the request that it is difficult for oneself to invade the counties of Wuwei County of the Han Army and to respond to Xia Houru and Qin Lang.

It was based on the fact that the news of the fall of Liu Gaosheng’s Yuan tribe could not be concealed from the Qianghu tribe in Xiu Tuze, claiming that if his own tribe frequently invaded Wuwei, the women and children of the tribe would be attacked by the Qianghu tribe—that group Seeing that the Han army gained power, the tribe must want to follow suit and become the second Tuoba tribe of Xianbei!
Sima Yi had no choice but to agree to this.

Because Liu Bao didn't want to harass the Han army anymore, it was Tuoba Liwei's letter that made him fear Wei Guo!If forced, he might follow Tuoba Liwei's example and defect to the Han army.
Furthermore, during the war between Han and Wei, the state of Wei could not threaten Liu Bao for the time being, and it was useless to force him.

Instead of tearing your face apart, it's better to settle down first and make plans later.

Naturally, Sima Yi didn't forget to send the memorandum, requesting the imperial court to punish Tuoba Liwei's protons and family members who stayed in Luoyang on charges of treason according to the law!

After Cao Rui got the report, he couldn't help feeling that the world was changing like a white cloud and a dog.

He didn't care about Liu Gaoshengyuan's life or death, or Tuoba Liwei's rebellion, but he was worried about the impact of this matter on the Northwest War.

Even if you pull a hair, you can move your whole body.

The southern Xiongnu and Xianbei could not invade the Hexi Corridor, which meant that the Han army had a stable rear, saved a lot of food and fodder loss, and allocated more garrison troops to rescue the Shuyin Fortress in their spare time.

Among other things, the Xiliang iron cavalry from Ma Dai's tribe against Shu could withdraw and join forces with the rebel general Jiang Wei's Qiang guard cavalry, offsetting the advantage of the tiger and leopard cavalry who were good at running raids.

Correct!
Ni Shu finally sent troops.

It is the soldiers who are divided into three groups to guard.

One is Ma Dai and Jiang Wei marching from Wushao Ridge, fighting with Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Guanzhong Jingqi.

The other is that Wei Yandu, the former general of Nishu, led more than ten thousand infantry, and marched from Jusai, Lingju, Jincheng County. The security along the way was heavy and the marching speed was very slow.

In the end, it was Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Nishu, who personally led the Chinese army to station in Xiaoguan to threaten Anding County.

The exact number of soldiers and horses brought is unknown.

But it is not important.

Given the distance from Ji County in Tianshui to Xiaoguan, within two or three days all the ministries of Nishu and Longyou would gather in Xiaoguan.

What's important is that the garrisons of Hanzhong and Wudu counties showed no signs of being transferred from Shu, the prime minister of Shu Zhuge Liang's move was to maximize the advantages of the Longyou Xingsheng, which made Sima Yi vaguely passive in dispatching.

Like the Han army's Shuyin Fortress, Gaoping City in Wei State's Anding County also has strategic significance in controlling the situation of the war.

If Sima Yi followed the previous strategy and personally supervised the army to attack Hanzhong County, Zhuge Liang would leave Xiaoguan and defend Gaoping City, cutting off the food roads for Xia Houru and Qin Lang's troops.However, if Sima Yiruo personally brought troops from the Wushui River Valley to Longyou, he would have to worry that Zhuge Liang would not be able to hold out, and the Wei army would repeat the mistake of Cao Zhen's attack on Shu.

That is to say, the strategic opportunity occupied by Wei Guobing's siege in the city of Yinyin was completely offset by the changes of the Southern Huns and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei.

Without him.

In the hearts of Cao Rui and Sima Yi, they were not sure that Xia Houru could defeat Wei Yanbu in the field battle, and it was even more impossible to force Xia Houru to have spare power to capture Shuyin when he confronted the Nishu reinforcements.

Even if Xia Houru supervised more soldiers and horses!
Sima Yi's dispatch was to introduce his own army to Chaona County in Anding County, and ordered the governor of Yongzhou, Guanqiu Jian, to guard Gaoping City and supervise the transfer of grain and fodder to Hexi.The Guohuai tribe, Hu Zun, Deng Ai and other tribes south of Helan Mountain sent reinforcements to the city of Shuyin, allowing Xia Houru to contain Wei Yan, while Guo Huai led others to attack the city.

Continue to use the superiority of troops and the intention of attacking the fortress of Yuyin to force Nishu to send troops to rescue again.

It is equivalent to making strategic compensation and maintaining the advantage on the battlefield.

It is forced to attack fortified positions, which will inevitably lead to much more casualties than expected.

And Sima Yi added a few words at the end of the playlist.

Said:
"Therefore, when Da Sima was still alive, the old minister once talked with him and asked him for advice on the strategy of Yu Shu. Da Sima said, 'The scarred man is actually a serious problem for our Wei State'. After the old minister came to Guanzhong, he learned that Ling Ju The Battle of Hexi and the fall of Hexi were plotted by Ba Pu, who deeply lamented the wisdom of the old great Sima. Today, the veteran dispatched the various ministries to make up for the losses of the left and right of the Southern Xiongnu and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei, but he hoped that the previous strategy would not fail. However, today Ba Pu's movement and stillness are unknown, and with his ability to plan and plan in the same way as in the past, there is absolutely no reason why the Prime Minister against Shu will not use it, so the old minister feels a little uneasy."
