The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 137 Revival and Annihilation War ([-])
Speaking of food, Zhong Huijun only has fifteen days' worth of food in stock.So how many are the two armies of Guan Yi and Huo Yi? (Jiang Wei's army in Jiange has a steady stream of food from Brazil County, so don't think too much about it)

No one would believe it, but before taking Yang'an Pass, Guan Yi's army only had four days' rations left.After taking Yang'an Pass, Guan Yi's army held 20 shi of grain in their hands.

Who told Zhong Huijun to take down such a strong stronghold of Yang'an Pass from Chang'an all the way to Jiange?Where can we hoard food if we don't hoard it here?
Yanganguan is not only a grain transfer station, but also a grain storage base - once there is a problem with the grain supply in Guanzhong.The food stored here should be enough for Zhonghui's army to last for a month.Therefore, the grain stored in Yang'an Pass has never been less than 15 shi.

Now Guan Yi's army is only 1000 people, even with more than 1000 captives, the food reserves here are enough for him to last for nearly two years!

Relatively speaking, Huo Yi's food storage situation is not very good.Because the food in Baishuiguan was transported from Jiange Daying.Generally, the amount of food stored does not exceed ten days-this is still a ten-day ration for two thousand garrisons.But this time Huo Yi brought 3000 people.

At this time, the role of Ma Jie appeared.Anyone who is familiar with the geography of Sichuan knows that if you go northwest from Baishuiguan, you will enter the area inhabited by the Qiang people.Now, the descendants of General Shenweitian, who has been extolled as a legend among the Qiang people, have returned. Isn't it only natural to ask everyone for some food?
The Qiang people are a nation that respects strength.Ma Chao was able to have such a great prestige among the Qiang tribe back then. The most important thing was that he was invincible in singles and unparalleled in riding and shooting.In addition, Wudu County was originally the place where Ma Chao was stationed, and the Qiang people here are very familiar with the Ma family.Now, Ma Jie, who has perfectly inherited Ma Chao's martial arts, visited the nearby Qiang tribes under the leadership of thousands of Qiang soldiers.Ma Jie singled out the past all the way, and got warm response from the Qiang people.Many older Qiang people held Ma Jie's hand and burst into tears, saying that seeing General Shenweitian again, even if he died immediately, there would be no complaints.

And this time Ma Jie didn't just rely on his grandfather's reputation for nothing.Fruit wine is too much, so I didn't take it with me on this quick march.But things like soap, candles, and bone china brought a lot.These novel things have been widely sought after by various Qiang tribes, and even Ma Jie asked everyone to borrow food.Everyone said very happily: What do you borrow?Do the descendants of General Tian still need to borrow?deliver!General, as long as you are stationed at Baishuiguan, we will send you there for as long as you want!
Therefore, when there was no food problem in the three fulcrums of the Shuhan, it was Zhonghui who had to work hard.

Of course, it was definitely not Zhong Hui's troops who launched the attack first.It was Xun Kai's troops.

On December [-]th, Zhang Zun's team stationed at the north gate of Yang'an Pass welcomed [-] Xun Kai troops who hurriedly arrived.

Under Xun Kai's strict order, three thousand Wei troops launched an ant-attached siege on Yanganguan.Of course, this low-tech attack was easily repelled by Zhang Zun.

But Xun Kai is not depressed in the face of failure. As a child of a bureaucratic family, he knows it very well.In this system, most of the time it doesn't matter how well you do, what matters is your attitude: I rushed over immediately after receiving the news, who knows that the enemy army is strong.So it's none of my business not to take it down.

After successfully throwing away the responsibility, Xun Kai began to write letters to Du Yu who was far away in Chang'an, and Li Fu and Liu Qin who were not far away.Inform them of the situation here.

On the afternoon of the 1th, Li Fu and Liu Qin each led a troop to Xun Kai's camp in Seoul.After discussing for a while, the three of them removed some troops from each of the three troops.They pieced together a force of [-] people and launched an attack on Yang'an Pass again.

This time, the attack has taken shape. A siege engine, a siege tower, and even two catapults were built temporarily.But in the face of Yang'an Pass, which the Shu Han government has continuously strengthened for decades, this attack power is far from enough.

The three generals forced their soldiers to fight three times.After three unsuspecting failures and heavy losses, both soldiers and junior officers began to strongly resist various orders from their superiors.Seeing this situation, the three generals did not dare to use too much force, so they had to withdraw their troops for the time being.

"Hey, it's not so easy to take down a strong city like Yang'an Pass. Our troops are still too small."

"That's right. Originally, our three families had only 5000 people together, and we had to allocate most of them to take care of the three places. It would be a great risk to take 1 people to attack. If there are too many losses, I'm afraid the Shu troops in Seoul and Lecheng are about to rush out."

"Hey, now we have to wait for reinforcements from Chang'an."

"Well, I hope that General Zhenxi's Baishuiguan is still in his hands, otherwise..."

On December [-], Du Yu, who was in Chang'an, received a report from Xun Kai.

Du Yu, Du Yuankai, Marquis of Fengleting of Cao Wei, was 41 years old this year (actual age).His current position is the Chief History Officer of the Zhenxi General's Mansion. When Zhong Hui went out to fight, he stayed in Chang'an to preside over the logistics support of the entire Shu army.

Although compared with Xun Kai's dazzling family background, Du Yu's family background is slightly weaker.But only slightly weaker.

His grandfather was Du Ji, a famous minister of Cao Wei.His father is Du Shu, who is famous for his honesty and honesty.He himself married Sima Zhao's younger sister, who belonged to one of the core figures of the Sima Group.

As the top aristocratic family in Yongzhou, the Du family has a long history of family education.In addition, I am extremely talented and hard-working.So even in Sima Zhaoxiang's mansion, where there are many talents, he is outstanding.

He was a famous writer, scientist, economist, and military strategist in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.In the original plane of history, after Yang Hu passed away.He became the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Front Army in the Western Jin Dynasty, and was one of the three former enemy commanders in the later battle of Jin to destroy Wu.

Of course, those things haven't happened yet.The current Du Yu has not shown his military talent, and as a deep patient with hyperthyroidism (Du Yu has hyperthyroidism and has a huge neck, which is clearly recorded in history books), Mr. Du Yu is thin and unable to ride a horse. Can't draw the bow.So at this time, he is just a logistics support officer.

Even so, when Du Yu received Xun Kai's report, he immediately and keenly discovered the danger.

"Oops! Now Zhong Shiji's [-] troops are in prison!" Du Yu was not an idiot, he would never hope that Baishui Pass was still in his hands.In his opinion, since the enemy is so determined to go deep into Yang'an Pass alone, how could they not be clear about taking Baishui Pass at the same time?

The response was quick and the judgment was correct.But what can be done?

The answer is: no!Because now Du Yu basically has no soldiers in his hands!To be exact, apart from five thousand heavy soldiers responsible for escorting grain and grass, he had no decent soldiers in his hands.

Cao Wei's Yongliang Corps was full of 7 people, and 1 were sent out this time to attack Shu.The remaining [-] people were stationed far away in Longxi to guard against the Qiang people there.So one is that it cannot be transferred, and the other is that even if it is transferred, it will not be effective in the short term.

Cao Wei's Chinese army was full of 20 people.One hundred thousand this time.If the remaining [-] were transferred from Luoyang, I am afraid that the central government's deterrence against the local government will be greatly reduced.In the remaining places, the Jingzhou Corps only had [-] soldiers, and Liu Qin brought [-] soldiers into Xishu.I heard that Soochow in the south has rectified its troops in Jingzhou, so the remaining troops in Jingzhou cannot move at all.

The soldiers in Jingzhou cannot be moved, and of course the soldiers in Yangzhou cannot be moved: one is too far away, and there is nothing to do when they are mobilized.The second is that Soochow has already launched an offensive in the direction of Yangzhou-so, no matter how wasteful the ally of Soochow is, it is still meaningful to Shu Han.

Then the only thing to do is to draw and merge state soldiers.Although the [-] Bingzhou soldiers here need to guard against the Xihe Huns' rebellion, the Huns have become very weak these years.Therefore, it is possible to draw out the soldiers here temporarily.

Thinking of this, Du Yu immediately began to write letters.

The first letter was written to Xun Kai and others.Roughly speaking, it’s fine if you can’t beat Yang’an Pass.It doesn't matter whether Seoul, Lecheng, and Golden City are surrounded or not.The task of your troops now is to withdraw slightly northward to the southern end of valley entrances such as Xiegu and Ziwugu, and hold on to the spot.In short, it is necessary to ensure the passage of future reinforcements into Hanzhong-if there are reinforcements.Of course, if there is no reinforcements, your 2 people can at least keep it and not get stuck in it.

The second letter was addressed to Prime Minister Sima Zhao: Boss!That's how it is now.In my opinion, the nearest Bingzhou troops should be dispatched urgently into Hanzhong for rescue.In addition, Luoyang's Chinese army will also send a small amount.At the same time, soldiers from Qingzhou and Xuzhou were transferred into Luoyang to supplement the combat power of the Luoyang Central Army.

The third letter was written to Cao Wei's governor of Bingzhou.The general idea is to ask the other party to start mobilizing troops early.As soon as Luoyang's order arrives, they can set off immediately.

After finishing these things, Du Yu let out a long sigh: "If Zhong Shiji's [-] troops are wiped out, Yongliang will probably no longer be owned by the imperial court! Zhong Shiji, you have to work hard!"
