Shu Chen

Chapter 537
"The sun is at midday, the moon is full, the moon is full, the sky is full, and the sky is full, and the news is up to date."

—— "Zhou Yi Feng"

Sometimes, things go too smoothly, which will give rise to the hidden danger of extreme joy and sorrow.

Zheng Pu is now worried about whether the Han army, which is fighting very smoothly, will usher in a situation where the moon is full and it will lose if it does not go out to fight the Wei army as soon as possible.

The reason was not that the prime minister was worried about the outbreak of the epidemic on the battlefield where corpses were piled up.

But two other reasons.

One is that after learning that Li Tangmang was in Qiaomen County, Shangjun, Zheng Pu used him as a dangerous move to disrupt Wei's rear.

And when going north to the valley of the source of Dushui, Zheng Pu also sent people to Shangjun to let Tangmang start marching at the same time.

Not that there's anything wrong with it.

At that time, the outer city of Chencang had not yet been captured by the Han army, and the outcome of the battle was still uncertain. Letting Li Tangmang harass the Wei army's rear was a move to increase the chances of the Han army winning.

However, who would have expected Wei Jun to be so unbearable?
Sima Yikong had the advantage in military strength, and Cao Rui came to the front to motivate the soldiers, but after more than a month of attacking, he couldn't even destroy the camp of the Han army on the plain and force the prime minister to fight fiercely!
O camp on the plain!

It's not a city!

This kind of victory is really eye-catching.

It also made Zheng Pu's move to allow Li Tang Mang's attack to go around the back, which turned into a failure.

Because of the fighting power and morale demonstrated by the Wei army today, the chances of the prime minister and Wei Yanbu being defeated in a battle are very high!
It can't be said that the winning ticket is in hand, but it is right to be close to ten.

It can also take advantage of this to completely defeat the main force of the Wei army, sweep the entire Guanzhong with the sharpness of victory, fulfill the long-cherished wish of returning to the old capital, and show the world that the Han Dynasty will be revived!
However, if Li Tangmang disturbed the rear of Wei State before the prime minister and Wei Yanbu came out for a decisive battle, causing Sima Yi to retreat under pressure from the rear, so that the Han army could not find a chance for a decisive battle, then it would still be the long-cherished wish of the old capital It will be delayed for several years.

After all, only by defeating the main force of the Wei State in World War I can a sweeping momentum be formed.

And if the Wei army, which still has strength, is allowed to strike back and divide its troops to stand firm in each city, then the Han army can only attack one city and one county, which will waste countless manpower, material resources and time out of thin air.

In other words, the Wei army, which was forced to strike back, was also defeated, which would also cause the soldiers to fall into low morale and panic; the Han army should not be too difficult to attack and plunder in turn.

There seems to be no difference between the two.

But it's not.

The Han army began to attack and fight fiercely in the spring and March!
Already regarded as division veteran tired!

What's more, the Han army used more than [-] troops this time, and the consumption of food, fodder and supplies was huge.

If it is really necessary to attack one county and one city, with the background and inventory of the imperial court, it is impossible to support the war until the day when the entire Guanzhong is included in the bag.

And if he stopped to rest, it would definitely give Wei Guo time to regroup.

This is why Zheng Pu felt that he had taken a wrong step.

It is also a manifestation of the ever-changing battlefield situation.

Another reason is that a military situation related to Jiangdong came from the Chengdu temple.

Jiangdong, which suffered heavy casualties under Shouchun City, and was shaken by the Liao-style rebellion in Jingnan and Jiaozhou for more than a year, without recovering its background and without going to the Northern Expedition, even made a letter of state, claiming to send troops to work together with the great Han Fight against Wei!
The national power has not been restored, and the people are not in peace, so they want to send troops to the Northern Expedition?

It is simply an ancient anecdote!
Such news made the whole big man feel incredible.

But things are so magical.

Jiangdong really sent troops!
It was the army of Zhu Ran who guarded Jiangling City as the vanguard, and marched to Xiangyang City in a mighty way; with the Lu Dai tribe who had just returned from the rebellion as the follow-up, he transferred the infantry back to Jingnan to sit in Xiling Gorge, claiming that it was for the supervision of transportation. A large army of food and fodder; while Sun Quan personally led the army across the river from Wuchang, and marched northward to Wei Jiangxia County.

As for Lu Xun, who had been staying in Wudi, he continued to appease the disastrously defeated Jiangdong aristocratic family, and did not rush to join the war.

But Jiangdong used more than [-] soldiers and horses this time, almost all of which came out after Wu's defeat.

In this regard, the response of the Chengdu Temple was to immediately increase troops to Yong'an.

To be prepared.

Jiang Dong has already made peace with Wei Guo, and his behavior is so abnormal, combined with his previous capricious temperament.
Chengdu Miaotang felt that it was unlikely that Sun Quan would send troops this time to attack Jingbei while Wei was restrained by the big Han in Guanzhong, and to take a share of the fire.

On the contrary, the big man felt that it was more likely that Sun Quan wanted to repeat the battle of Xiangfan in the past.

So don't take it lightly.

After the news spread to Guanzhong, the prime minister who was all focused on attacking Chencang City at that time asked Chen Dao, who was guarding Yong'an, and Ma Zhong, who was guarding Nanzhong, to be on strict alert and waited and watched.

Anyway, with the blockage of Bashu and the difficult roads in Nanzhong, Sun Quan couldn't get things done even if he had any evil thoughts.

But now returning from the battle, Zheng Pu, who had nothing to do in Yangcheng, was shocked when he heard the news.

He sniffed something unusual.

He also believed that it was impossible for Jiangdong to attack Wei, so he speculated about Sun Quan's sudden move to send troops north to Jingxiang.

For example, Dongsan County.

From Zigui County, there is a way to enter the East Three Counties!

After the Battle of Hanzhong, in order to recover the three counties in the east of Hanzhong (the three counties in the east), Liu Bei sent Meng Da from Zigui to attack Fangling, and joined forces with Liu Feng in Shangyong.

But now that the state of Wei is in a state of poverty, it may be possible to divide the three east counties and Xiangyang City to Jiangdong as a price, and let Sun Quan betray the alliance and attack the big man from the three east counties.After all, for the Wei State at this time, it is not a difficult choice to give up the south of Xiangyang and the three east counties in exchange for Wu's alliance to fight side by side.

Two powers harm each other whichever is lesser~
Under the pressure that the great Han Dynasty will soon return to the old capital, and under the wavering theory of the Han Dynasty's destiny in the Wei Dynasty, Luoyang Cao Rui will make choices to tide over the difficulties.

And will Jiangdong accept it?
Cao Rui didn't want Sun Quan to become King of Wei and Wu again, so why hesitate!
Maybe, he also thought that he had gained the benefits of being a fisherman in the Han and Wei dynasties, and held a banquet with the Jiangdong ministers to show off his face!

Here, it is easy to understand that Zheng Pu took the time of the Han and Wei decisive battles by heart.

Because counting the time, he was already unable to stop Li Tangmang from marching; the big man who gathered all his troops in Guanzhong could not deter Jiangdong from joining forces with Ni Wei.

I hope everything goes well, and all the worries in my heart are not effective.

Every day at dusk, when his subordinate Qi Yacuo came to report that the decisive battle between the Han and Wei Dynasties had not yet begun, Zheng Pu would comfort himself in this way.

But sometimes, God especially likes to play tricks on people.

When you are more afraid of something, the more you like to arrange something for you.

Only three days later, Qiyacuo brought the news that the Wei army had all retreated; and the prime minister and Wei Yan's troops had just left the battalion and chased after them for half a day, and then they all returned.
