Chapter 524 Difficulties
In the past few years, Jiang Wei has increasingly felt that the situation of the Three Kingdoms is precarious.

Cao Wei gave many opportunities to Wu and Shu.

The rebellion of Wang Ling, the battle of Dongxing, the rebellion of Guanqiu Jian, and the rebellion of Zhuge Dan.

The Central Plains has always stood firm, and the more it fights, the stronger it becomes.

Sima Zhao destroyed Zhuge Dan almost with the power of one family, fighting against the forces of the four directions alone.

Zhuge Dan and Sun Wei were defeated terribly, and the Shu army also retreated to Hanzhong in despair. Only Yang Zheng kept winning, and every time he stepped on Sima Zhao's weak period, he sent troops when he was weak and weak, and defeated each of them. Famous generals.

Like a prophet.

Yang Zheng was going with the trend of the times, but Jiang Wei was going against the trend.

After Duan Gu's defeat, not only did he not stop raising soldiers, but he even more aggressively gathered troops and gathered in the valley, using Hanzhong as a bait to lure the enemy to go deep, causing Shu to suffer today's catastrophe.

"Zhuge Siyuan has [-] to [-] troops. Even if he can't defeat the Liang army, it is enough to hold Mianzhu Pass. The enemy of our army is still Zhonghui." Dong Jue didn't feel how bad the current situation was.

Du Yu had only 12 troops, while Zhong Hui had [-] troops.

Taking a step back, even if Mianzhuguan is breached, a strong city in Chengdu with a population of 10,000+ is enough to last for a year and a half.

"Although the Liang army is a rare army, it is also a lonely army that goes deep. Zhuge Siyuan is the son of the prime minister, and he will be able to defend Mianzhu!" Liao Hua had a blind admiration for Zhuge Wuhou.

In fact, the whole Shu Kingdom thinks this way.

Zhuge Wuhou has an outstanding status, so his son must live up to expectations.

At such a young age, Zhuge Zhan attracted the attention of all the people.

Every time there is a good government in Chengdu, the common people spread word of mouth: this must be the work of Gehou.

However, the evil government in Chengdu was all attributed to Huang Hao and other eunuchs and rebellious ministers. Even Chen Qi was implicated back then, and his reputation was not good.

Jiang Wei originally wanted Zhang Yi to lead an army of [-] back to defend Chengdu, but now that everyone agrees, he no longer insists.

From any point of view, with Mianzhu Pass in hand and Zhuge Zhan with an army of [-], he has an absolute advantage.

Jiange faced greater pressure than Mianzhu Pass.

Although this place is dangerous, it is not without flaws. To the east of Jiange, there are several trails leading directly to Langzhong.

After Liu Bei settled in Shu, he used Zhang Fei to station troops in Langzhong, which also shows the importance he attaches to this place.

Jiang Wei's important task is still to repel Zhonghui, recapture Yang'an Pass, and restore Hanzhong.

"In another month, Zhonghui will run out of food!" Veteran Zhang Yi finally provided a piece of constructive news.

A few days ago, he tried to attack and reconnected with the spy.

All the generals were refreshed.

A month is not a long time.

A month later, the weather turned warmer and it was a great time to attack.

After repelling Zhonghui, even if Du Yu breaks through Mianzhu Pass, he can return to the division to rescue him.

"God bless me!" Liao Hua let out a long sigh of relief.

The wrinkles on Jiang Wei's face also stretched for a few minutes, and Zhong Hui's food was exhausted. The acquisition of the 12 Wei army was enough to make up for the loss. After a few more years of operation, the big man could resume the Northern Expedition!
However, whether it is Yang Zheng in the Northern Expedition or Sima Zhao in the Northern Expedition depends on the time.

"It's indecent to come and not to go, Zhong will persuade me to surrender, and I will persuade him to surrender!" Jiang Wei immediately picked up his pen.

"At the foot of Zhong Shiji, the puppet dynasty conquered the west, Sima Zhao was defeated by Feng Yi, and the 16 troops were wiped out. Sima's family will be in great trouble. At this time of crisis, how can a corner of Yang'an last long? Today there is Liangzhou in the north. Iron cavalry, there is a big Han sharp armor in the south, and Hanzhong has become a jeopardy. If you can turn back and return to Han, it will be no less than Weizi going to Yin, Han Xin returning to Han, with a long history and a long history. If you can’t, return to Kanto as soon as possible. It is still unknown who will get the flowers in Luoyang. There are Zhang Liang's schemes, Chen Ping's schemes, the two armies are fighting each other, and it is really not the leader. If you are greedy for a small profit for a while and miss the big plan of the Central Plains, how regretful you will be!"

With just a few random strokes, the situation Zhonghui will face is clearly written.

Going back now, he can still compete with Sima Zhao. If he delays for a few more days, even if there is enough food and grass, he will face a pincer attack from the north and the south. The first person to consider surrendering at that time is Zhong Hui.

The letter was quickly delivered to Zhong Hui.

Although the two armies are at war, they are both extremely graceful, and envoys come and go frequently.

Jiang Weixin was Han Xin, Zhang Liang, and Chen Ping. Zhong Hui followed this pattern, and after reading it, he was elated, "Jiang Boyue, who knows me!"

It is nothing new for celebrities in the Central Plains to praise each other and testify to each other.

Otherwise, how did you get your reputation?

"Could it be that Jiang Wei really wants to surrender to the governor?" Wang Jun stared at the letter in Zhong Hui's hand.

But this time the clock meeting didn't mean to show him.

Zhong Hui rubbed his chin, his eyes sparkled, "Of course not, the Kingdom of Shu is not yet exhausted, how could Jiang Boyue surrender?"

He always considered Jiang Wei's words carefully.

The risk of staying in Hanzhong is indeed very high, full of various variables. So far, only Yang'an Pass has been won, and there is no shadow of Han and Le Ercheng.

Instead, he drove his troops back to the Kanto, with a better chance of winning.

The 30 million Chinese army in Luoyang was squandered by Sima Zhao.

Who else can stop his 12 army?

This is an advantage at the military level.

The bigger advantage is on the political level.

Sima Zhao's army of 16 was wiped out, but Zhong Hui returned safely with an army of 12. Who would the Central Plains gentry know?Who will the people of the Central Plains turn to?
For this battle, Sima Zhao went fishing in the dry lake, and the people had already complained.

Zhong Hui now is just like Sima Yi back then, with military power, fame, and merit...

During this period of time, Zhong Hui has not been idle, and has been wooing officers below the general of Yamen in the army, and has already won the secret allegiance of many people.

Zhong's trilogy also continued to gather military power.

Most of the twelve armies were controlled by Zhong Hui.

"Oh, Jiang Boyue gave me a problem." Zhong Hui rubbed his forehead again.

With the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind, even if the Kingdom of Shu is captured, will Yang Zheng in the north stand by and watch?

Zhong Hui dared to confront Jiang Wei, and also dared to compete with Du Yu, but he did not dare to meet Yang Zheng now.

As Jiang Wei said, Zhong Hui had Zhang Liang's plan and Chen Ping's plan, but he was not good at fighting between the two armies.

Liangzhou people are too cruel...

Dong Zhuo is gone, Ma Chao is gone, and now Yang Zheng is here...

Wang Jun was confused by Zhong Hui, "So is the governor going to fight or leave?"

The Guanzhong War has come to an end.

Wang Jun's family knew about his own family affairs, and food and grass were scarce again.

12 soldiers eat horse chews, and their daily consumption is more than expected.

Coupled with the incorporated Jiang Shu tribe and prisoners, the consumption is even more terrifying.

In short, in Wang Jun's opinion, either go north to fight for Guanzhong when Yang Zheng's veterans are tired, or go south and strategically attack Shu with Du Yu, both are good, even if he is given 1 troops to travel through the Langzhong trail.

The only thing that is most dangerous is to stand still and miss the opportunity in vain.

It is an advantage now, but it will not be an advantage when Yang Zheng in the north recovers.

"Don't fight or go, keep waiting! Not Jiang Boyue, it's the great regret of my life!" Zhong Hui insisted on his own opinion.

He has a faint intuition that the opportunity has not disappeared, but is getting bigger and bigger.

Wang Jun stared at Zhong Hui with a strange expression on his face.
