The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 945 The Latest Countermeasure

It was three days later that Liu Chan received the news from Lu Xun, and all the troops on Wei Yan's side had already started operations.

If Liu Chan came up with a proper new response plan after discussions in Chang'an City, it would take at least one to two days of delay.Then, it would take at least another four or five days for Changan to catch up with the troops and deliver the news to Wei Yan!
It will take about ten days to go back and forth!

Such a long time, for Liu Chan and his Shu Han army, simply cannot afford to delay.

Because by that time, Wei Yan had already implemented a large part of their new strategy, and the situation was already deeply involved, so it would be difficult for them to temporarily withdraw their troops.

Therefore, after discussing the new strategy, Liu Chan had no choice but to take the worst move and completely give up maintaining a complete combat plan.

Liu Chan first sent a letter to Wei Yan, telling him to grasp the rhythm of the attack and not to go too deep into Liangzhou.It's just that when this letter was launched into Wei Yan's hands, how far his troops had penetrated.

Secondly, Liu Chan sent a second order to Wu Yi, demanding in extremely strict terms that his troops, which were lagging behind the others, immediately speed up their march. They were not required to catch up with Wei Yan's men, but they must catch up with Lu Xun's men. Join forces.If it cannot be done, it will be dealt with according to military law.

But Liu Chan did not push Wu Yi too hard, lest he suddenly rebel and join Cao Wei's camp, which would definitely be a fatal blow to the current battle situation in Yongliang.

Liu Chan's third order was sent to Lu Xun.

Liu Chan agreed with his point of view of advancing step by step, but now with Wei Yan's rash advance, it is meaningless to insist on advancing step by step.

So Liu Chan authorized Lu Xun to "hold the temperance", and after Wu Yi's men came over, they had to accept his restraint.

It should be said that this is definitely the first time that Liu Chan has given "festivity" to a general under his command, and even Wei Yan has never received such treatment.

This move was indeed just Liu Chan's temporary intention, and it was a bit helpless.Lu Xun's official position was much lower than Wu Yi's, so if Wu Yi was to accept Lu Xun's command, he had to temporarily elevate Lu Xun's authority.

Then, Liu Chan asked Lu Xun, in the name of "Chijie", to decide whether to march or retreat, or to take any feasible countermeasures according to the situation on the battlefield, so as to support Wei Yan's army to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy.

Liu Chan's fourth order was sent to Meng Xi.

Let him immediately attack south from Jianping County, secretly follow and monitor any movement of Wu Yi's army.Once Wu Yi made any changes, he immediately cooperated with Lu Xun's army to attack him from both sides.

Wu Yi's intentional delay made Liu Chan's doubts about him deepen, and he even doubted Wu Yi's purpose in coming to Yongliang battlefield.

After Liu Chan issued the four orders, he found Zhao Yun, the Central Guard Army.Zhao Yun has been leading the imperial guards to protect Liu Chan, so he has been stationed in Chang'an City now, and has no intention of attacking.

Liu Chan asked Zhao Yun to immediately point out the five thousand imperial guards and follow him across the Weishui. This was because the situation became uncontrollable, and he wanted to go to the front to command in person.

Then, Fei Yi led the Chang'an order to maintain the stability of Chang'an's three assistants.

Then, Liu Chan issued the Erdao Recruitment Order.

First of all, the first dispatch order required Guan Xing, the prefect of Xiangyang, to take Zhao Yan, who had joined the army, and immediately lead 8000 troops from Xiangyang County, enter Lantian County from Qingni Pass, and go to Chang'an to help Fei Yi guard;

In the second recruitment order, Grand Sima Dong He was recruited from Jiangling City to Xiangyang City to the north, and was stationed in Xiangyang County. Guan Suo and Wang Fu stayed to assist Dong He, and the command of the battle between Jingzhou and Yangzhou was still handed over to Dong He.

eight days later.

Although Gao Shili is not as famous as Li Baiyuan in the western borders, he is also a hero who is famous in Guanxi, and his reputation is also resounding.

At this time, Gao Shili looked at Yufeng Mountain in the distance. Although the forest on the mountain was lush, it was not tall.

After the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty wantonly built palaces, a lot of wood was used, and many trees on the mountains were cut down.Then, after such a long war, the trees on the mountain were finally restored.

Gao Shili sighed and said to Du Yegao beside him: "Yegao, we attacked from Liangzhou in a hurry, and after a few tricks with Mengxi's men, we hurried back to Liangzhou .”

Du Yegao is actually not tall, and even looks a little thin, but he is actually a strong man, who can lift nearly two hundred catties of stone mills with one hand.

Du Yegao seemed to hear Gao Shili's homesickness, and said with a smile, "Why, I haven't seen my mother-in-law for a few days, do you miss the hot kang at home?"

Gao Shili waved his hand, and said with a smile: "This man is really strange. After returning to his own land, he suddenly felt more at ease. It seems that Wei Yan is going after Lord Zhang Ji's troops with all his strength. gone."

Like Gao Shili, Du Yegao also had a very good friendship with Zhang Ji, so he couldn't help but said with some worry: "I don't know Mr. Zhang is now. I heard that he was seriously injured and almost died. I don't know if we When will there be news from here?"

Gao Shili nodded, and said: "Master Zhang's current situation can only depend on God to bless a good man like him. If there is any news, we will be able to return to Wuzhi City in seven or eight days. There must be news about them. Don't worry, Su is not just an ordinary character, Wei Yan can't help him. Maybe, by then, they will have already returned to Hanyang County, waiting for us on the way to Jincheng County."

Du Yegao felt that Gao Shili was too optimistic, and said: "You don't even look at the route. It is 430 miles from Meiyang to Quail City, and it takes us more than [-] miles to go west to Hanyang County. Who could possibly What comes first? But you are right, only God can help Lord Zhang and their army now, otherwise we will be in trouble."

Gao Shili smiled proudly and said, "What trouble can there be?"

Du Yegao glanced at him, and said: "According to the schedule, we should rush to Meiyang to meet Master Zhang first, but after we arrived in Duyang, we couldn't move forward for a long time, hey!"

Gao Shili avoided answering this, and said: "Ye Gao, if we hadn't been delayed for a few days on the road, would we all be able to get rid of the Shu Han army so easily? Look, we don't even have a chaser behind us." , everyone went home happily."

Du Yegao glanced at him, but couldn't help shaking his head.

Gao Shili also shook his head at a high degree, thinking that he thought he was dishonest, so he couldn't help shouting in a big victory: "Ye Gao, I really didn't mean not to support them, we are both in the same army. It’s not like you don’t know how strong the stream’s obstruction is!”

Du Yegao glanced at Gao Shili, and said calmly: "Shili, don't talk about it, everyone knows these messy things, what are you talking about? We don't need to go back to settle any old accounts now. The army we have now It is very complete, even if there are pursuers behind, they will not be able to touch our heads."

Gao Shili frowned, and said, "Ye Gao, it's too easy to touch you."

Gao Shili's serious words made Du Gao very dissatisfied, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gao Shili once again said bluntly: "Who said I'm afraid of the Shu Han army? You have to know, of course there is nothing to say about Mr. Zhang's righteousness and faith, but who is the person in charge now? It is actually Su Ze. That person you Do you dare to cooperate with him? That is certain death. Do you still remember how he dealt with Li Yue and Qu Yan back then? That cunning trick!"

Li Yue once rebelled in Longxi, very close to Gao Shili's territory;
Qu Yan rebelled in Xiping.That time had a greater impact, because Qu Yan's influence and appeal in Liangzhou far surpassed that of Li Yue.But the rebellion of these two people was finally suppressed by Su Ze.

Du Yegao was taken aback when he heard it, and was speechless for a while.

Gao Shili and Du Yegao have always been fateful friends. Seeing that they were stiff at this time, they wanted to ease the atmosphere and said, "We will camp by the Ling River today, cross the river tomorrow morning, and we can catch up tomorrow afternoon." To Quail Gu City."

Du Yegao's mood became very bad, and he nodded in agreement with Gao Shili's suggestion.
