The last three kingdoms

Chapter 454 Ju An's Conspiracy

Zhong Hui was dumbfounded, while the generals under the tent were dumbfounded.The attack on Shu this time was a military operation that Wei State had planned for several years. It had been carefully planned and prepared. In the early stage of the war, the progress was very smooth. Hanzhong was captured, Jiange was laid down, and even forced to Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, moved his capital to Nanzhong. When everyone thought that Shu was dying, news of the fall of Yongliang and Liangzhou suddenly came.

This was simply a bolt from the sky, which left all Wei generals stunned.Where did the Shu kingdom come from with such a great energy, that it could achieve a shocking reversal?This is simply unbelievable.

Hu Lie was the most furious. His younger brother Hu Shi was killed by the rebellious army in the Battle of Chang'an. Hu Lie was full of grief and indignation, and he first asked Zhong Hui to return to Hanzhong and destroy Liu Yin.

The generals also asked for orders one after another. After all, the gains and losses in Guanzhong and Hanzhong determine the life and death of the Wei army. Now that the food road has been cut off, the Wei army who entered Yizhou can no longer get a single grain supply. What is the amount of food and grass needed by a [-] army Surprisingly, the current food reserves in the army are no longer enough to last for a month. That is to say, if there is no way to do it now, the army will completely collapse without fighting because of the lack of food in a month.

No one wanted to sit still, and the generals expressed to Zhonghui emotionally that Hanzhong had to be recaptured no matter what, and the grain roads were opened up. This was related to the life and death of Wei's army, and there was no delay.

Zhong Hui obviously thought more about it. At the beginning, he refused to return to Bingguan. The most important thing was the relationship of interests. Now Wei Jun has already occupied a huge advantage in Yizhou, and has taken the initiative in the overall situation of Yizhou. Once the troops are withdrawn, these vested interests will be wiped out.Now there are fewer considerations at this level. The food road is cut off, and the entire Wei army is facing life and death. It is useless to capture as many cities as possible, but how to lead this Wei army out of the predicament, Zhong Hui obviously has to weigh the pros and cons. , plan before moving.

Now the situation in central Shu is criss-crossed and complicated. Wei, Shu and Wu are all biting each other to death. Even if Zhong Hui wants to withdraw, it will not be an easy task.Both Lu Kang and Jiang Wei are not good enemies, now that the Wei army is in danger, of course they are happy to see the success and are ready to make trouble.Even if Zhong Hui wanted to retreat, he had to make a perfect plan.

"Report! Report to the governor that Yang'an Pass was breached by Ni Shu, the prefect of Hanzhong Li Fu and the partial general Fang Hong died heroically!" Just as everyone was discussing matters, the sentry horse suddenly came to report.

This action was like stabbing a hornet's nest, the entire Chinese military tent was fried, and all the generals looked at each other, discussing a lot, unable to decide what to do.

Yang'an Pass is the most important pass on the Chenghan Avenue. It is the only way to enter Hanzhong from Jiange. If Yang'an Pass is still in the hands of the Wei Army, the situation will not be too bad. Even if the Shu Army takes Hanzhong entirely, the Wei Army can still go around Walking from the city, heading east from the Hanzhong Plain to Shangyong (after the fall of Guanzhong, the road to the north was cut off), the second city of Hanle could not stop the advance of the Wei army at all.

However, after the fall of Yang'an Pass, the situation became much more severe. Only when the Wei army regained Yang'an Pass could it be possible to open up the route for withdrawing troops.And Yang'an Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack (God knows how Li Fu lost Yang'an Pass so quickly?), with the current morale of the Wei army, it may be quite difficult to regain Yang'an Pass.

"What is Jiang Wei doing now?" Zhong Hui asked.

Yang'an Pass has been lost, and there is no point in complaining any more. Now Zhong Hui is more concerned about Jiang Wei's movements. If Jiang Wei and Liu Yin join forces to attack from south to north, Zhong Hui's army will be in a bad situation. It was very dangerous. As long as the northern and southern Shu armies were trapped in the key passes and blocked the Wei army's retreat, even if Zhong Hui had a thousand tricks, he would have nowhere to use them. He could only run out of food and eventually be defeated.

Zhong Hui is naturally unwilling to end up like this, but it is extremely difficult to make Zhong Hui surrender. Jiang Wei and Liu Yin regarded him as an enemy and would never descend to Shu.

Of course, surrendering to Wu is not what Zhonghui is willing to accept. No matter who surrenders, Zhonghui's political life is over. Lu Kang will never allow the surrendered Zhonghui to continue to be in charge of the army. For Zhonghui, there is no doubt It is the most unacceptable way.

Wei Guan, the superintendent of the army, handed over the latest military report, saying: "The news just came that Jiang Wei took all the soldiers from Langzhong and went to Jiange to kill them."

Jiange?A sharp edge flashed in Zhong Hui's eyes.The Jiange is the northern gate of Sichuan and Shu, and its location is extremely important. Back then, Jiang Wei defended the Jiange for half a year, leaving Zhong Hui with nothing to do.However, as the Wei army entered Yizhou, the defensive value of the Jiange ceased to exist, and Zhong Hui only stayed part of the army in the Jiange to maintain the smooth flow of its food roads.

Jiang Wei's move made Zhong Hui a little inexplicable. Now that Liu Yin has captured Yang'an Pass, it is tantamount to blocking the way for the Wei army to return north. Jiang Wei's attack on Jiange seems to be superfluous.

But Zhong Hui quickly understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Two fighters compete for success!

At the beginning, when the Wei army attacked Shu in three ways, Deng Ai took risks and smuggled into Yinping, wasn't it just to snatch the first place in Shu?Isn't it just because he is afraid that he will take the lead by designing and framing Deng Ai?Now that Liu Yin's troops are in Linyang Anguan, Jiang Wei is going to grab the Jiange, obviously wanting to monopolize all the merits.It seems that no matter whether it is a general of Wei State or an important minister of Shu State, they are inevitably vulgar and greedy for profit, which is true at all.

Do you really think that my clock will be a fish on the board and let you slaughter it?Zhong Huiwu secretly sneered in his heart.

"Captain, there are few soldiers in the Jiange. I am afraid that Jiang Wei will not be able to stop him. The last general is willing to lead a team to help the Jiange to ensure that the road to the north is unimpeded." Hu Lie immediately asked for his life.

Zhong Hui just sneered, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.

A person next to him suddenly said: "There will be a plan in the end, which can solve the current situation."

Everyone looked at it, but it was Ju'an, the surrendered general of the Kingdom of Shu.Ju An has always been known for his bravery and lack of strategy, and everyone was amazed when they saw him offer advice. It's really strange that such a brainless person like him actually has tricks.Zhong Hui said nothing, but Wei Guan smiled slightly and said, "If General Ju has any tricks, why don't you speak up?"

Gou An held his head high and held his chest high, and said quite complacently: "At this time, Liu Yin is in the north, Jiang Wei is also facing north, and the south is empty. Why don't the governor take advantage of the void and go south? Liu Yin can take Guanlong, why not take Nanzhong as the governor? , as long as Liu Chan is captured, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin dare not come and surrender?"
