The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 830 Tripartite Dynamics

Liu Chan's combat meeting this time should be said to be the most important one in history, after all, it is related to the last battle in Jiangdong.Whether the Shu Han army and their allies won or failed in this war really depends on whether the arrangements made this time are appropriate.

So when everyone was discussing, they all seemed very active and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic.

At the same time, after Sun Quan stationed his army in Wanling County, he also had a certain tacit understanding with Liu Chan, and he did not immediately launch a large-scale attack on the Shu Han army.

The reason for this lies in Sun Quan's own considerations. His troops have just rushed here from Qu'a Port and Dantu County. The morale of the soldiers is not high. It will be a bit difficult to immediately enter the battle.

As for the safety of Dantu and Qu'a Port, Sun Quan has now been handed over to Chen Biao and Kan Ze to manage it, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.Kan Ze is a steady minister, and he never lacks courage, so he should be competent to deal with Quan Cong.

In addition, Dantu is a dangerous city, which was built by Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, and is known as the "Weng City". It is surrounded by straight mountain walls on three sides, and it is almost impossible to be conquered overnight.With such a natural danger as a guarantee, Quan Cong's men should not be able to break through the defense line from Dantu to Qu'a Port.Therefore, there should be no danger in the rear of Moling and Sun Quan's troops.

Furthermore, under the command of Zhang Cheng, the armies of the four major families in Wu County were completely wiped out under the circumstances that Deng Ai's did not have a large number of advantages in Fuchun County.For Sun Quan, this is simply an unacceptable reality.

Because of this, Wu County has always existed as the southern barrier of Danyang County where Moling is located. This can be seen from the fact that the territory of Wu County is very similar to the shape of Guangdong Province in the 21st century.

To the south of it is a long, narrow stalk protruding southwest.This long handle is actually the boundary between Fuchun County and Qiantang County that Deng Ai has captured now, and this long handle just encloses the southern part of Danyang County.

That is to say, Deng Ai's troops were already on the southern border of Danyang County. If they wanted to, they could break into Danyang County at any time and attack Sun Quan's army from the south.

This made Sun Quan feel a strong crisis.

So, like Liu Chan, Sun Quan immediately summoned Danyang County Prefect Zhou Bing, Zuo General Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Jin's eldest son Zhaoyi Zhonglang General Zhuge Ke and others to discuss, and the next battle was arranged.

Because this matter is related to Jiangdong's final battle, Sun Quan is definitely very nervous now.Therefore, the atmosphere of the military meeting in front of the station was definitely not too relaxed.

While Liu Chan and Sun Quan were having an emergency battle meeting, there was already movement in Yizhou.

Following the orders of General Zuo's Mansion, the Hanzhong army led by Wei Yan, the prefect of Hanzhong, and the cavalry general Ma Dai's army brought out from Yangping Pass joined forces.It should be said that although the people along this route had already made a big show of momentum beforehand, when they marched all the way to the west, they seemed to be extremely smooth, and they did not encounter the obstruction of Cao Wei's army.

? ?As a result, Wei Yan's men and horses separated from Ma Dai's men.Ma Dai's men took Yinping County easily, and Wei Yan's men also took Wudu County with little effort.

Generally speaking, a county is a large administrative unit, usually defended by local garrisons, and it is not easy to attack it.However, the armies of Wei Yan and Ma Dai were able to easily succeed in Wudu and Yinping, which can be said to be an exception.

Moreover, after the two men succeeded, they didn't show any complacent expressions.As far as Wei Yan's personality is concerned, it is really surprising that he can show such restraint.

Actually, the fact is that Wei Yan and Ma Dai really have nothing to be proud of.

This matter should start from the actual situation in Wudu and Yinping.

Wudu County, located on the western edge of the Qinling Mountains, has a relatively complicated terrain.

There are major roads leading to Longyou Qishan, Guanzhong and Hanzhong Yangping Pass respectively, which are more suitable for large troops to march and fight.Originally, it was mainly the settlement area of ​​the Di ethnic minority.When Cao Cao and Liu Bei competed for Hanzhong, it was unfavorable. When retreating from Hanzhong, considering that the county was too far away from its own defense line, it was difficult to defend and lacked economic value. All moved to Fufeng and Tianshui.

"The Biography of the Empress of the Three Kingdoms": "In the summer and April of the 14th year, the empress... moved to Wudu Diwang Fujian and more than 16 households of Dimin in Guangdu."It can be seen from this that 5 years after Zhang Ji moved the people of Wudu, the population of Wudu was even sparser.Even the Di, the most important tribe in the area, has only a few hundred households.At the same time, it can be seen that both Wei and Shu did not pay much attention to this Wudu County. Wei moved more than 400 people, and Shu moved more than [-] households below King Di, and did not plan to seriously occupy Wudu.

Therefore, the current Wudu County is actually a deserted no-man's land.Even if Cao Wei loses it, he won't feel pity.

Yinping County was originally a county, but was later changed to a county by Cao Cao.

It is located in the Minshan Mountains, with dangerous terrain and few roads, so it is not suitable for large troops to move and fight.Because it is located in the barren mountains and wild ridges, the population is sparse, and it belongs to the place inhabited by "Southwest Yi".It is farther away from the Wei army's defense line, and like Wudu County, it was abandoned without the Wei army stationed.

Moreover, this Yinping County has a trail that is hundreds of miles long, which can directly enter Yizhou.In history, Deng Ai and Zhong Hui destroyed Shu, and Deng Ai attacked Chengdu from this Yinping trail.

Therefore, judging from the above situation, it is estimated that there are not many people living in these two counties, and it is impossible to have a strong city. It is even more tasteless than chicken ribs, or even two chickens without meat. It was just a bone, even if Wei Yan and Ma Dai took it down, there would be nothing worth explaining.

Ma Dai then went north to join forces with Wei Yan, and they continued to march north.

But at this time, Cao Wei's troops appeared, because Wei Yan and Ma Dai's troops had already reached Qishan, and this was the only defense line of Cao Wei's army, and it was absolutely impossible for the Shu Han army to pass through.

But the actions of the Shu Han army at this time were essentially just to cover Liu Chan's action to destroy Jiangdong, not for the real Northern Expedition.Therefore, Wei Yan and Ma Dai immediately commanded the troops to fight with the Yongzhou governor Zhang Ji's troops near Qishan Mountain, which attracted the attention of many people.
