Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 153 Battle in Longyou
In 228 A.D., the second year of Wei Emperor Cao Rui Taihe, the sixth year of Han Emperor Liu Chan Jianxing, the seventh year of Wu Wang Sun Quan Huang Wu, March.

General Cao Zhen led an army to Qingshui County, Guangwei County in person, trying to go south to Shangbi.After Zhuge Liang heard about it, he set out from Lueyang and personally led most of the Han army to Qingshui County.Wei Jun invited to fight many times, but Zhuge Liang couldn't hold out.

The right general Zhang He arrived at Jincheng County in Liangzhou by detouring Xiaoguan Road, went south from Chadaoling Road, and attacked Zhongshantun at night, planning to ambush Wei Yan's reinforcements.

Huang Xi, the captain of the Han Dynasty, died in battle, and Wei Yan, the general of Zhenbei, and Li Xu, the captain, fled back to Dazhai alone.The [-] Han army lost [-], and Wei Yan retreated hundreds of miles south along the Chingdaoling Road, until he was stationed near the Guanchuan River, and wrote to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang for help.

And Zhang Yun also took advantage of the momentum to pursue, and in the east he cooperated with Pingxiang County of Guangwei County and Chengji County of Tianshui County, and cooperated with Youchu, the prefect of Longxi County in the west.

Immediately Zhang He mobilized 3000 people from Qiang and Shouyang, Pingxiang, Chengji and other counties in Longbei to help out, plus 4000 people from Liangzhou, and 500 people from the Chinese army under his command, for a total of 10,000 taels, 500 people.Arriving at Guanchuan River, the soldiers headed straight for Nan'an County, and Wei Yan was stationed across a deep ditch.

Guangwei County, Guanlong Road, Qingshui County, Han Army Camp.

On the high platform, the sun was shining brightly in the morning, and the wind was beautiful. Zhuge Liang was sitting in front of the case, with several military newspapers on the table, smiling and looking at the people who had just reported the affairs under the stage.

Deng Ai, the prefect of Tianshui, was indeed a person who was valued by the late emperor, with both civil and military skills.In the early spring, before I ordered it, I had already arranged the spring plowing work in Jixian County, Shangyu County, Xianqin County and other counties of Tianshui County.

And he also took advantage of the time when he and Cao Zhen were facing each other, and with his permission, he boldly sent troops to unite with Guanzhong Governor Wu Yi to merge ten thousand people, and went east along the Weishui Road to capture Linwei County.Cut off the grain transportation channel that Guanzhong tried to transport grain to Linwei County through the Weishui Road, and then to Qingshui County through Linwei County; Guanzhong had to cross the Longshan Mountain to transport grain, and the journey was hundreds of miles longer.

Zhuge Liang's eyes moved down, and his eyes fell on a middle-aged man in the crowd, and he couldn't help being more joyful.His name was Gao Gang, and he was the guard of Qishan Fort. When he sent troops along the Qishan Road, Gao Gang guarded Qishan Fort and resolutely refused to surrender.

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his gaze to the east. In the distance was the camp of Cao Wei.

March, the beginning of spring, the beginning of all things growth!
After years of hard work, my big man ZTE is no longer a castle in the sky.

Zhuge Liang was thinking about food and grass, so he couldn't help but look at Yang Yi, and said aloud: "Wei Gong, Nan'an and Tianshui can supply our army with food and grass. There is no rush to transport food from the middle of Shu. Now it is spring plowing in the middle of Shu, so corvee labor is not allowed." Hairy."

After Yang Yi heard the sound, she went out and cupped her hands and replied: "No! Yi will plan the army's food and grass later, and discuss it with Lu Jiyang (Lv Yi), the prefect of Hanzhong."

When Yang Yi hadn't finished speaking.

"Report!"

The messenger hurried to the center, knelt down on one knee, took out the military newspaper from his arms, raised his hands high and said: "I report to the Prime Minister, Liangzhou Inspector and Zhenbei General Wei Yan urgently report!"

Well, could it be that something happened in Liangzhou?

Zhuge Liang took the military report from his personal guard, spread out the scarf, and his original joyful expression instantly retreated to solemn.

"Zhang Ying went to Chadaoling Road, attacked Zhongshantun at night, and ambushed reinforcements, all of which were delayed. Now the enemy has reached the Guanchuan River, and the enemy has tens of thousands of troops including the Wuwei Battalion, Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. . . . , I hope that the Prime Minister will send reinforcements as soon as possible."

It was only two hundred words, but Zhuge Liang's eyes widened and he read it several times.

Just when Zhuge Liang was about to get angry, he thought that many generals would be here, he would lose his manners and morale, so he held back instantly.

The subordinates didn't know the specific situation, and watched Zhuge Liang share the battle report eagerly.

Yang Yi vaguely guessed, could it be that the defeat of Wei Yan, a mediocre slave, caused the situation in Longbei to change?He wanted to ask, but he saw Zhuge Liang clenched his fists, suppressing his curiosity temporarily.

After a long time, Zhuge Liang let out a long breath. Although Zhang Yun invaded Longbei, the terrain in Longbei was rugged and food and grass were scarce. If it weren't for the unrest in Longxi County, there was no need to worry too much, just stick to the camp.However, at present, Longxi County and Longbei County have not been attached to them, and they still need to be defeated before Longyou can be completely pacified.

But how difficult it is to defeat Zhang He!What's more, his subordinates are the elite Wuwei battalion among the elite of Cao Wei.

Zhuge Liang was very worried, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he still concealed the worry on his face, showing a calm expression.

Gao Gang saw this.With great insight, he cupped his hands and got up and said: "Prime Minister, I just felt unwell, so I will take my leave for the time being."

The people who had just joined also followed Gao Gang's example and resigned.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang got up to stop him, and said with a smile, "What's the reason, everyone? Sit down for now. It's a small matter, there's no need to be like this. Since you all submit to the imperial court, you are the people of the Han Dynasty, so why don't you say anything!"

After a pause, Zhuge Liang saw that the surrendered people from the Kingdom of Wei sat back to their original positions, held the battle report, and said calmly: "Wei Zhanghe led ten thousand people from Liangzhou to the south, Wei Yan was unprepared, and was broken by his design, losing 4000 people. Today To Guan Chuanhe. I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

Everyone present frowned, Zhang He had fought against him half a month ago, since then Cao Zhen led the troops, isn't he in Cao Zhen's camp?How could he come to Liangzhou? If he left half a month ago, how could he be so fast.

Pan Jun, who was devoted to the country, thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "The Prime Minister also hopes to send reinforcements to help Wen Chang. Zhang Yun cannot continue to go south."

Hearing the sound, Yang Yi came out and said: "Prime Minister, Wei Yan has been defeated by Zhang Yun because of his faults. How can he continue to lead the army and fight? We still need to choose good generals to go."

Jiang Wei hesitated for a while, then said aloud: "I think that General Wei can lure the enemy deep, and then send other generals to encircle and cut off their food and grass.

In the corner, Huo Yi, who was silent, suddenly stood up, furiously, pointed at Jiang Wei, and scolded: "Jiang Boyue, your heart can be punished, you know that the people of Longyou Nan'an and Tianshui counties are determined at the beginning. How dare you let Zhang He drive straight in. No matter how well you know that if you let Zhang He go deep into Nan'an County, if you cooperate with Longxi Prefect You Chu, we will be attacked on both sides, and the results of the battle will be indifferent."

Jiang Wei knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he knelt down immediately, with a look of fear on his face, and said in a slightly sad voice: "Wei didn't have such intentions. I am grateful to the prime minister for entrusting me with a heavy responsibility. It's just that Wei has no merit, that's why I did it." In terms of speaking, it is only in terms of military strategy. I hope the prime minister will learn from me!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly descended the steps, helped Jiang Wei up, stroked his back, and said comfortingly: "Shao Xian was just talking fast, you are all loyal to the country, don't do that."

Huo Yi, who had calmed down, understood that the current situation needs to be stabilized and surrendered to the officials, so Xu Bu stepped forward slightly, apologized to Jiang Wei, and said sincerely: "Brother Bo Yue, Shaoxian made a mistake! I hope you don't blame me, I will hold a banquet in Chengdu to entertain you." Boyo, I apologize."

Zhuge Liang nodded in satisfaction with Huo Yi's performance.

Seeing Huo Yi like this, Jiang Wei didn't dare to trust Huo Yi, so he went up to support Huo Yi, and the two reconciled as before.
