The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 215 A Feast for Crows ([-])
On the fourth day of October, the Jin army launched an attack on the besieging army of Soochow.fail.

That night, Lu Kang organized a night attack.Because the Jin army responded well, and the wind direction was wrong.Also failed to achieve considerable results.

After the first tentative confrontation, the commanders of both sides understood that the other party was not easy to deal with.Start to face the next battle with a more cautious attitude.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, the Jin army began to divide into four divisions according to Wang Hun's deployment, each acting independently.

Now that we have made up our mind to use our own maneuvers to mobilize the opponent, the Jin army did not emphasize secrecy about our own military operations-the fear is that you will not know!I'm not going to fight you in Xiling now, I'm going to fight Jiangling, which is the old nest of your Wugou Jingzhou Legion.Are you afraid?
"Great Sima, Jin Ni saw that the wall that was attacking us couldn't go down, so he turned around and attacked Jiangling. Jiangling is where our foundation lies, so we must save it! Fortunately, our army's waterways are always smooth, and Jin Ni relies on two feet. We can't keep up with us. Please also send an army to Jiangling to guard!"

"Hmm..." Shi Ji Shi Gongxu, the highest military officer in Soochow now, is also 65 years old this year.Hearing Lu Shu's urgent plea, he subconsciously wanted to send an army to Jiangling.But the instinct of fighting for many years made him feel that there was a conspiracy hidden in it.

But what is this conspiracy?Even if there is a conspiracy, it is Jiangling!

Fortunately, there are people smarter than him here.

"Young Festival, what do you think of the splitting of the Jinni forces?"

"Hehehe, Da Sima, all generals. Lu Kang would like to ask everyone: On the premise that Jin Ni did not get Xiling, so what if they got Jiangling?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Yes, Xiling is upstream and Jiangling is downstream.Xiling is located at the border of Jin and Wu, but Jiangling is in the heart of Wu.If you don't take down Xiling, just taking down Jiangling is useless!That's suicidal!

"Great Sima, generals. The matter is very clear. This is Jin Nisheng's plan to attack the west. The idea is to spread the word and let our army divide the troops by itself. Lu Kang would like to explain to you in detail here: Information from here. On the surface, it seems that our army’s strength is about the same as that of Jinni. But in fact, because our army has [-] sailors, our infantry strength is less than that of Jinni. And our wooden wall , stretches for nearly [-] miles. Once we divide more than [-] troops to the south, we will be extremely passive in defense—we are defending a line, and the enemy only needs to attack one point! And, if I expect it to be not bad Otherwise, the enemy's army will never really go to Jiangling, but find a place to ambush us. Therefore, our army doesn't have to pay attention to Jinni's maneuver!"

"Good, let's do it according to Xiaojie's opinion! The whole army guards the line of defense and guards against the sneak attack of Jin Ni."

This time, Wang Hun and Shi Ji's fight failed shamefully because of Lu Kang's insertion.

Of course, it is indeed a pity to fail to mobilize the enemy.But apart from spending a little more money and food, our side has no other losses.Seems like it should be acceptable, right?
In fact, the biggest failure of this operation is: the team of the descendants of the old generals of Cao and Wei left the main force of the Jin army to act alone!Si Wencao of the Shu Han Dynasty and the Dian School of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, who had gathered around for a long time, finally discovered the gap in this egg, and quickly began to test and rebel against these old generals!

"I am the commander of the Han Dynasty, Lv Ya, Lv Zhongle, to pay my respects to the Marquis of Jinyang."

"Marquis of Jinyang?" Hearing Lu Ya's address, Zhang Liao's son, Zhang Hu, who was famous for his bravery in the second generation of Cao Wei, twitched unconsciously: "Hey, in the Wei, Jin and Chan Dynasties, the feudal kingdom passed down from my father has already It was cancelled. The old man’s nickname is Meng Xiao, and he is just a commoner now. So, if Si Wenling doesn’t dislike it, let’s call each other by nickname.”

"Shan, Meng Xiaogong, you are actually very clear about the boy's reason for coming this time, right?"

"Hehe, although the old man has not achieved any great things in this life, he was in the officialdom at least in his early years. So, Zhong Le came here just to recruit me for your eldest Sima?"

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Meng Xiao really underestimated my eldest Sima."

"Huh? What does Guan Zifeng mean?"

"My family's eldest Sima said that although the Emperor Wen of your dynasty usurped the Han Dynasty, it was true that Emperor Wen was a rebellious and outraged man and God, but Emperor Wu was indeed a great hero. Compared with all the filth of the Sima family, Emperor Wu was much more upright. Therefore, the Wei family should not Even if the Wei family is about to perish, they shouldn't be forced to perish by villains like the Sima family."

"Hmph! Emperor Wen was abdicated by Emperor Xiaoxian of the Han Dynasty. How could he be so rebellious? Forget it, let's not argue about these things. I understand your great Sima's regret and kindness towards my great Wei. Then, what exactly does he want? What do we do? What can he give us?"

"Okay, let's get straight to the point. My chief Sima's request is, first, if the Jin army fails to capture Xiling this time. Meng Xiaogong should join forces with other Cao and Wei veteran generals to find opportunities to retreat to the northwest while taking advantage of the chaos."

"Northwest? You mean the three counties of Xincheng, Shangyong, and Weixing?"

"Yes, Mr. Meng Xiao. Now your department is in Xiling, and you only need to turn to the northwest for more than sixty miles to enter Xincheng County. Then there are Shangyong, Weixing...the three counties of Shangyong, surrounded by mountains, are easy to defend and difficult to attack. .In addition, Jin Ni's defensive strength is not too much. Moreover, Wei Xing borders on Hanzhong County of my great man. If Meng Xiaogong and others retreat there, they can get a steady stream of support from my great man."

"Well... the plan you mentioned is indeed feasible. But the old man has two questions."

"Meng Xiaogong asks for instructions."

"I don't dare to do it. The old man's confusion is, first, we went to Weixing, and you Shu thieves, sorry, what is the relationship with you big man? Second, if Jin Ni attacked, your big Sima can give us How much support?"

"Hehe, this is exactly the second point my Da Sima wants to say. My Da Sima suggested that if Meng Xiaogong and others successfully transfer to Weixing County, I will provide 200 million shi of grain to Meng Xiaogong at one time. If you need it, we can Support an army of no more than 3000 people. In addition, I also ask Meng Xiaogong to remember nine words."

"Which nine words?"

"Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly."

"Hmm... Interesting. Teachable."

"Meng Xiaogong, my Great Sima will launch the largest Northern Expedition since the founding of the Han Dynasty within three years. At that time, Meng Xiaogong will raise the banner of reviving the Great Wei. Then my family's Great Sima will sweep Yongliang, and Dongwu will attack Xiangyang. Wei attacked Nanyang... In this way, Luoyang, where Jin rebelled, will become the place of the Four Wars..."

"Hehe, your chief Sima has a good plan. If there is such a day, won't my great Wei stand between Jin and Wu? Not only will we block Wu Gou for you, but we will also have to rely on you even more?"

"Well, it's just a matter of opinion."

"Hmph, please Zhong Le answer my question directly. If Jin Ni is successfully eliminated, what is the relationship between Han and Wei?"

"My Da Sima said that the concept that there is no second sun is wrong. Many of the stars we see at night are actually bigger and brighter than the sun. It's just because they are too far away from us, so they look very small. Therefore, as long as the state of Wei is far enough away from the Han in the future, Han and Wei may not be able to live in peace for a long time."

"Far? How far is far? Liaodong? Western Regions?"

"Hehe, I feel that Meng Xiaogong is thinking too far now."

"Hmph, okay. The old man still has two questions."

"please say."

"All of us are the courtiers of the Great Wei. Even if you don't raise the flag for the time being according to your Da Sima's intention, but sooner or later we will unleash the banner of the Great Wei. But we don't have any descendants of the Cao family... In addition , You have also seen it in Yizhou these years. The cruelty of the Sima family is really not just for fun. When we came out this time, all the men came out, but the female family members... Hey, I have known you since I was young Siwen Cao of the big man is haunted, this matter..."

"Hehehe, that's it. We're already working on it. To be honest, because the seniors used to live in different places, it's okay for the ones who live near Yongliang, Bingzhou, and Luoyang. My big man, Si Wencao, has roots here. But in the north of the Yellow River, our Siwen Cao has no clue at all. Besides, the Dian School of Soochow is also participating in this matter. So it is quite troublesome. Meng Xiaogong, I dare not say too much. Ya can only say try my best for."

Lu Ya was not honest about this matter.Because this time Si Wencao made a move, and he was assisted by Jin Guojin Zoucao like never before.There is actually only one real trouble for them: competing with Soochow's Dian school for speed.

"Okay. The old man didn't dare to stand up to the Sima family's butcher knife, and sat and watched the great Wei clan being bullied and slaughtered... If he died like this, he would really have no face to see his father. So, this time, it is rare Jin rebelled and made a fool, and gathered our old generals of Wei and Wei together. If you don’t take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble, then you are really worse than pigs and dogs! Go back and report to your big Sima, and the others, I will try my best to persuade you. But no matter what What do the other families think, after the Battle of Xiling, the old man will definitely move to the Shangyong area! At that time, I will have to trouble Zhong Le to take care of me!"

"Thank you, Mr. Meng Xiao. Lu Ya is looking forward to it in Weixing County!"
