The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1057 You chase me

The Shu army suddenly bypassed Nanyang and launched an attack on Luoyang. It really caught Du Yu by surprise. Du Yu really did not expect Jiang Wei to make such a bold and risky move. True to its name.

Under normal circumstances, it is extremely risky to bypass the frontal enemy and detour to the enemy's rear. This is very risky, and it is easy to be attacked by the frontal and rear enemies.However, there is no shortage of successful precedents for roundabout attacks. When the conditions are ripe, using this kind of surprise attack method will often receive miraculous effects.

Nanyang, which Du Yu guarded, is equivalent to the southern gate of Luoyang. Now Jiang Wei abandons the gate and does not leave, but climbs over the wall, which is tantamount to creating a problem for Du Yu.

Du Yu knew the current situation in Luoyang. If Luoyang was not in danger, why would he need to transfer 3 troops from his side? It was very difficult, and another 3 people were transferred away, and Du Yu's strength was obviously greatly damaged. It was very difficult to deal with Jiang Wei and Zhong Huilai.

But the pressure on Luoyang's side is obviously much greater than that on Du Yu's side. This pressure was naturally exerted by Liu Yin on the north bank of the Yellow River. Mobilized all the forces that could be mobilized.

If Jiang Weizhong would lead an army of 10 to attack Luoyang from the south at this moment, then the blow would undoubtedly be disastrous. Du Yu believed that Sima Yan had no troops to move at all. The pass that prevents the Shu army from advancing northward, but there must not be many defenders at Shuyuan Pass at this moment. How easy is it to block the [-] troops of the Shu army?

Du Yu frowned and was restless. If he were to guard Nanyang alone, Du Yu still had considerable confidence, but now that this sudden situation occurred, Du Yu really didn't know what to do.

It is meaningless to continue to stick to Nanyang. If Luoyang is lost, Jin will no longer exist. Nanyang is an isolated city, even if it can be defended, it will not help.

But if you give up Nanyang and return to Luoyang, it is tantamount to leaving your post without receiving an order from the court.Moreover, the risk of returning to Luoyang is relatively high. There is a [-] army led by Jiang Weizhong in the front, and tens of thousands of pursuers from Jiang Bin Wangshe behind. It will be a great loss.

Field battles are no better than city defense battles. Field battles require more troops and stronger combat effectiveness. Only when they have overwhelming power can they be more sure of winning a field battle. The target force of the Jin army is only about half of that of the Shu army. If it is a battle, it can still be maintained. If it is a field battle, even Du Yu lacks confidence.

After weighing again and again, Du Yu decided to return to Luoyang. Although he did not make a mistake in defending Nanyang, if the court perished, it would be meaningless for Du Yu to do the right thing. sense of responsibility.

Regardless of the future results, in short, he has worked hard, even if he dies in battle, he will die without regret. As for whether the court will pursue the responsibility for losing Nanyang, Du Yu has already given up so much.

Du Yu ordered all the Jin troops in Jingzhou to assemble, abandoned Wancheng, and rushed towards Zhiyuan Pass.

Although Jiang Bin and Wang She were ordered by Jiang Wei to contain the defenders in Nanyang, Jiang Wei left Jiang Bin and Wang She with not many troops, only more than 3 people. After all, defending Xiangyang also requires a large army. Half of the members of the association stayed in Xiangyang area.

With more than 3 people to besiege the [-] defenders in Nanyang, Jiang Bin knew that he was invincible, so he didn't use the method of encirclement at all. Instead, he gathered the [-] Shu troops and set foot in the south of Nanyang. In the big camp, soldiers were sent to the city to scold the battle every day, hoping to lure Du Yu into the battle.

But Du Yu didn't pay attention to Jiang Bin Wangshe at all. He put all his attention on Jiang Wei who had already marched north. He gave up Wancheng and led all the strength of the Jin army in Jingzhou to leave.

King Jiang Bin took Wancheng without any effort, but they were deeply surprised. Du Yu acted extremely decisively and ruthlessly. Wancheng is such an important city.

This incident also happened very suddenly. Jiang Bin had no time to ask Jiang Wei for instructions. He discussed with Wang She and decided that except for a part of the army that stayed behind, all the troops would immediately march northward and follow Du Yu's ass. Advance to Luoyang.

The road from Nanyang to Luoyang was almost occupied by the marching army. Jiang Weizhong would take the lead, Du Yushi followed closely behind, and Jiang Bin Wangshe was not far behind. Stepping in, the scene is spectacular.

All the teams seem to be on their way, and because there is still a certain distance between them, there has been no conflict yet.

However, this state must be temporary. As Jiang Wei's army gets closer and closer to the Yuanguan Pass, the possibility of a major war is increasing day by day.

Sima Yan in Luoyang also received an urgent document, and he was also taken aback. Liu Yin alone was enough for him to have a headache, but now another Jiang Wei was killed, is this fatal?
How to do?
Sima Yan was a little dumbfounded. Now that the defense line of the Yellow River is tight, he really has no soldiers to move. Jiang Wei's army has [-] people. How can he resist it with only [-] defenders at Zhiyuan Pass?

At this time, He Qiao gave Sima Yan an idea: "Your Majesty, Jiang Wei's coming is unstoppable, and the defenders at the Yuanguan Pass alone cannot stop him no matter what, and now the river defense is the most important thing." The most important thing is that Liu Yin is about to cross the river from Mengjin, and the defenders of Mengjin Pass will never be able to be transferred. The only solution for now is to make Du Yu, the governor of Jingzhou, abandon Wancheng and return to Shiyuan Pass, no matter what the cost Together with Yang Zhao, the guard of the Shuyuan Pass, guard the Shuyuan Pass to resolve this crisis."

Sima Yan immediately listened to He Qiao's advice, and issued an order to Yang Zhao, the guard of Shenyuan Pass, asking him to strictly guard against death, and to guard Shenyuan Pass at all costs.

At the same time, an order was also issued to Du Yu, asking him to abandon Wancheng and return to Luoyang to assist in the defense of Yuanguan.

After receiving the imperial edict, Du Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, the imperial court had issued an edict, and he didn't have to blame himself for leaving his post without authorization. This time, Du Yu could finally go into battle lightly.

At the same time, Du Yu was also proud of his wise move. Fortunately, he sent troops a few days earlier. In this case, when he received the imperial edict, Du Yu was already hundreds of miles away from Wancheng. A certain opportunity.
