The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 270 The Prelude to the Decisive Battle ([-])

Although as early as December last year, the Luoyang court clearly ordered that the entire Guanzhong battlefield be fully responsible for Shi Bao.But in fact such an order cannot be executed.

It's very simple, after all, Sima Wang is an old man who has served as the general of Zhengxi many times and sits in Guanzhong.The entire Guanzhong Army is his confidant from top to bottom.As for Shi Bao, he used to mainly sit in Yangzhou, and his team members were all in Yangzhou.Therefore, before Sima Wang left Guanzhong, Shi Bao was very smart not to go south from Qinchuan.

Besides, although he didn't fight Guan Yi, this guy killed his old brother Deng Ai after all.Therefore, on the one hand, he was worried that he would be ostracized when he went to Chang'an, and on the other hand, he deliberately asked Sima Wang to hit the strong wall in Mei County—it would be best if he hit his head and suffered heavy casualties, and Shi Bao happened to take over. .

As a result, Sima Wang was not stupid, he started to meditate under the city after attacking once with no hope of breaking the city.

Fortunately, Luoyang finally woke up and transferred all the princes on the front line back.Shi Bao was finally able to completely control the Guanzhong Army.

But as the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.Now Shi Bao holds more than [-]% of the military power of the entire Jin Empire!

Speaking of which, the state of Jin treated Jiang Wei and Guan Yi very much.Since the start of the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han, 16 reinforcements (including the last batch of princely coalition forces) have been invested in four batches.In addition to the more than 4 Guanzhong Corps in the past (excluding the Tongguan defenders), Shi Bao now controls a super army of more than 20 (the early siege was attrition).And when Soochow launched the Northern Expedition with 20 troops, the Jin State prepared a total of more than 14 troops to participate in the war.

You know, after the entire army of the Longxi Army of the Jin Empire was annihilated, the entire field army of the Jin Kingdom was less than 50.Therefore, while controlling such a huge corps like never before, the pressure on Shi Bao is also extremely huge.

On June [-]th, Shi Bao, his two sons, Wang Rong, Zhou Zhi and others returned to Chang'an City.Take a break and wait until the fourth batch of [-] reinforcements from Jin arrives.Immediately led the army to set off and arrived at the city of Mei County.

After walking around Mei County and Anguo City for two or three days, Shi Bao called the generals of all ethnic groups to hold a military meeting on June 25.The siege of Mei County and Anguo City was readjusted.

"Everyone, thanks to Your Majesty's trust, let me take full charge of the war here. So in the days to come, I will work with you. I also ask you to do your best for Your Majesty and for the great Jin!"

"We will definitely dedicate our loyalty to the country under Da Sima's command."

Hmph, I'm not worried about these generals in my country.But you alien leaders...

"Release the new siege deployment now!"

"I'll wait for the command of the great Sima!"

"First, change the focus of the attack. From now on, our army's main attack point will not be in Mei County, but on the south bank of the Weihe River, the so-called Anguo City newly built by the Shu thieves!"

"Ah?! Da Sima?"

"What? General Li has an opinion?"

"The last general dare not, but the main energy of our army in the past was in Mei County on the north bank of the Weihe River."

"This is the crux of the problem. Ladies and gentlemen, the base camp of the Shu thieves is in the south. If they want to attack, the materials they need must be transported from the south bank of the Weihe River. If they want to escape, they must first cross the river from the north bank to the south bank. What is more important is the idea of ​​forcing Guan Zifeng to retreat: focus on attacking Mei County on the north bank, so that Guan Zifeng has a way out. In this way, as long as Mei County shows signs of breaking the city, Guan Zifeng will retreat. But the general is not so kind, the general will It is to keep Guan Zifeng here, capture or kill him. Therefore, Mei County on the north bank of the Weihe River will not have any interest. As long as the small city on the south bank is captured, the morale of the defenders in Mei County on the north bank will definitely collapse. It will break itself."

"Great Sima, I'll pay homage to you."

Hmph, how many people really worshiped?But these stone buds don't care.

Adjusting the main attack direction, on the one hand, Shi Bao and Sima Wang's pursuits are completely different: Sima Wang hopes to force Guan Yi to retreat.But Shi Bao wanted to capture and kill him.On the other hand, the city foundation of Mei County was chosen by Dong Zhuo in the past. It was a rare and hard foundation on the north bank of the Weihe River, and it was impossible to dig tunnels to attack the city.But there is no such foundation on the south bank of the Weihe River.It's clear that Anguo City is easier to fight than Mei County!
"The new troop deployment plan is released below."

Now, under Shi Bao's command, there are about 22 troops.Among them, 1 followed Wang Jun in Qinchuan, more than 18 followed Du Yu in Chang'an, and 5000 stayed in Tongguan.Therefore, there are about [-] troops outside the two cities of Mei County.

Among them, there were 5000 cavalry from the bald tribe, 1 from the Li family, and 16 cavalry from the Southern Huns.The real national army of the Jin Empire has [-] people.

"Also omnipotent, Liu Meng!"

"I'm waiting!"

"Order you to lead the cavalry under your command to search for and kill the cavalry troops that the Shu thieves sent out before besieging the city. Listen carefully, the head of a Shu thieves cavalry can come here for a stone of grain. But if it is discovered by the general You kill the good and risk your merit, hehe, anyway, Guan Zifeng is locked in the city and can't get out, there will be surplus troops to destroy you first!"

"No! Da Sima, don't worry, our Xianbei (Hun) warriors haven't fallen to this level yet."

"Hmph, I hope so. Li Mu!"

"Li Mu is here, please give orders!"

"Now the locust plague has not subsided, and thieves are flocking everywhere. In addition, the main cavalry of the Shu thieves has not been wiped out. Therefore, although the journey from Chang'an to Mei County is not far, the food road is far from safe. Therefore, your mission , is to ensure the food road between Chang’an and Mei County. Well, from Chang’an to Mei County, the quartermaster’s calculated road loss is [-]. If you can reduce the loss to less than [-], the extra part will be Yours. However, if you can’t do it, hum, one head per stone, then you Di people will pay for it with your life!”

This person's vicious heart is completely different from the previous "highly respected" King Yiyang!

"Li Mu takes orders!"

"Hmph, Shan! Next, Li Fu, Ju An, and Yuan Qing."

"The end is here."

"I will give each of you 5000 troops. Your task is to go south and block the three passages of Baoxie Road, Ziwu Valley, and Chencang Road. I predict that Jiang Wei will detour from Wudu in the near future, hoping to enter Guanzhong Support Guan Zifeng. After you go to the exit of Santiao Valley, immediately repair the local fortress. The general's request to you is that if Jiang Wei invades, you must either be wiped out or hold on until the general's reinforcements arrive. If the general You retreated before the reinforcements arrived, I will kill you first, and then ask His Majesty to exterminate you and the other three clans! Remember everything?"

Shi Bao's words caused Li Fu and the three of them to fight a cold war unconsciously in this hot summer: "The last general waits... Take orders!"

"Well, don't worry too much. I will use troops, and I have always paid attention to speed, and I will not easily leave any of my comrades. You have gone to various valley entrances, and you can throw scouts into the canyon to leave as much warning time as possible. This general also promises that as soon as we receive your report, we will definitely raise an army to support it. Therefore, under normal circumstances, you only need to stick to Taniguchi for two or three days."

Huh~~So that's the case. "The last general is waiting, thank you Da Sima for your compassion."

"Well, next is the siege of Mei County. Su Chong!"

"Da Sima, Wang Rong is here."

"I will give you [-] troops and [-] civilians. Do you know what to do?"

"The general understands. Build a low wall around Mei County like Lu Kang's method of besieging Xiling. Just block Guan Zifeng's way out."

"Exactly! Calculated in this way, we still have 5000 people. Zimei, Maobo."

"The end is here."

"The two of you led 4 people each, crossed the Wei River, and attacked the east and south gates of Anguo City."

"Da Sima means to leave the east gate..."

"Yeah. Guan Zifeng is indeed a talent. The structure of this bastion really opened my eyes. Therefore, it is very difficult to take it down with a hard attack. It is better to leave the east gate and let the defenders in the city have a chance. Hmph, Guan Zi Feng is of course a strong-willed character, but unfortunately no matter how much he wins the military spirit, it is impossible for all the Shu thieves to abandon everything and be willing to fight for him to the end."

"Great Sima, I will understand."

No, you don't understand.I didn't expect to take these two cities through a hard attack at all.However, I cannot tell you this clearly.

"Everyone!" After the distribution of troops, Shi Bao concluded: "Since the death of Zhuge Liang, the national power of Western Shu has become increasingly weak. The threat to our Central Plains has become smaller and smaller. As a result, Guan Zifeng quickly became our leader as soon as he rose up. Great Jin's confidant's trouble. In this battle, nothing else is important. Guan Zifeng is the only one who wants to be born! To see people in life, to see corpses in death. As long as this son is not in Xishu, the Shu thieves will definitely decline rapidly. At that time, whether it is Longxi Liangzhou, or Yizhou, will be easily taken by us!"

"I will follow the order of the Great Sima, and the Great Jin will surely win! Must win!"
