The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 278 The Great Battle in Guanzhong ([-])

"Ahem... General Jiao's body...how is it today?"

"Returning to General Jiang, General Jiao woke up for a while this morning, but the high fever broke out quickly, so..."

"Hey, what is King Langya thinking? Do we have to take action after the [-] defenders in Hefei are wiped out? How could they be so cruel?"

(Sima Ni: I have been transferred back to the imperial court, why do you still say that I am cruel?)

"General, or will say, we might as well learn from Zhang Te."

The original intention of the so-called learning from Zhang Te is to delay the army.But the meaning here is not to delay the attack, but to really surrender.

Cao Wei military law: If a city has been besieged by the enemy for more than a hundred days, but the reinforcements from our side still do not arrive, the defender will not implicate his family even if he surrenders.

In 253 AD, Prime Minister Zhuge Ke of Eastern Wu led 20 Wu troops in the Northern Expedition.After fighting for more than 90 days under the city of Hefei, they could not take it.But the defenders in Hefei were exhausted, and the city walls were damaged in many places.At that time, Zhang Te, the defender of Hefei, used Cao Wei's military law to delay his troops: don't fight, don't fight, it's been more than 90 days now, you wait a few days.After a hundred days, I will surrender.

Zhuge Ke fell into the trick and ordered the attack to stop.The respite of the Hefei defenders took the time to repair the city wall.Then he said arrogantly: "Surrender? It's just a fight to the death!"

But in the current environment, the Hefei defenders really couldn't bear it and wanted to surrender.But I was afraid of hurting my family, so I wanted to negotiate with Wu Jun: You stop, we will really surrender when the [-] days are over.

However, with Zhang Te's bad record, would Ding Feng believe it?

So when Jiang Ban heard such a suggestion, he could only shake his head bitterly: "It's useless. Pass the message on to the brothers and stick to it for another five days. If the reinforcements don't come after a hundred days, let's surrender directly."

Although Jiang Ban knew in his heart that if he surrendered in the past, he would definitely die badly.But if the reinforcements don't come, he will die now.

At this time, Jiang Ban and Jiao Yi, who were trapped in Hefei and had no news, didn't know that their corps commander had already changed.What they don't even know is that the new commander, Wei Guanwei Boyu, is actually very clear about the tragedy in Hefei.

Time goes back ten days ago, July [-]th, Shouchun.

Wei Guan, General Zhengdong, occupies the main seat. Below are Zhou Jun, the governor of Yangzhou, Lu Zhi who joined the army, Huan Hao who joined the army, Xue Sheng, Chen Shen, Li Chun and others, and Meng Guan, the general of Xiaoqi Zhonglang.

"General Zhengdong, I have repeatedly confirmed with Jinzuo Cao. At present, the plague is rampant in our city of Hefei, and nearly half of the soldiers are sick. Therefore, although there is sufficient food and fodder in the city, there are still countless defensive equipment. But Hefei City is indeed no longer able to Persist for longer. As for Wu Gou, there were at least [-] dead soldiers, and twice as many wounded soldiers, and many were sick. More importantly, because Ding Chengyuan forcibly drove the Jiangdong family's private soldiers to attack the city repeatedly, As a result, the leading soldiers sent by many aristocratic families complained. Even the soldiers of the Soochow State had low morale..."

"Good! Zhong Ran has worked hard. If you can win the next battle, you will be the first."

Zhongran is the watchword of Huan Hao, the guard of Yangzhou.This person was born in the Huan family of Longkang. According to historian Tian Yuqing's textual research, this person's grandfather should be Huan Fan, Cao Shuang's adviser in the past.On the historical plane, Huan Hao's son, Huan Yi, was a famous official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and assisted the Jin and Ming emperors in quelling the Wangdun Rebellion.And his grandson is even more famous: Huan Wen, a famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a powerful minister, and Emperor Xuanwu of the Great Chu (posthumous title).

There is never a lower limit to the integrity of the aristocratic family. For their own benefit, there is nothing they dare not sell.So after their private soldiers suffered heavy losses, they quickly got in touch with Jin Zuo Cao: Hurry up and kill that stinky old man Ding Feng!We can't get enough of him!
"Don't dare to be praised by General Zhengdong, it's really old man Ding Chengyuan who is too unpopular."

"Hehehe, that's right. Generals, I think that Wu Gou has been trapped under the city of Hefei for nearly three months, and he is already exhausted. The decisive battle we have been waiting for is almost here."

"Good advice, general, I will bow down."

"Since that's the case, let's prepare to counterattack. This time, old man Ding Chengyuan must stay here with his life!"

"Follow the general's order, the Great Jin will surely win!"

……

When Wei Guan was preparing to counterattack in Shouchun, Jiang Wei, the general of the Shu Han, led nearly [-] Shu Han main forces to the Golden City on the west side of Hanzhong County.

This time the Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi set off with an army of 4000.After pacifying Longxi and Liangzhou, [-] were released in Jieting and Longxi respectively.Plus a small amount of battle damage.When Jiang Wei went south from Jieting, there were only more than [-] people.

When passing through the Nan'an Qiang territory, Yao Kehui's posture was extremely upright. Jiang Wei didn't need to say anything, and he presented [-] Qiang warriors and [-] horses in an orderly manner.

After returning to Wudu County, behind the Shuhan, Chengdu's Jianjian mobilized more than 4000 county soldiers from all over the country to gather in Hanzhong.After Jiang Wei arrived in Hanzhong, he directly brought the 4000 garrison troops originally prepared by Hanzhong under his command, and let the newly transferred more than 7 county soldiers replace the original Hanzhong garrison.As a result, his strength was restored to nearly [-].

This is already the limit of all the troops that Jiang Wei can search.It is also the limit that Shu Han's current national strength can bear.

On July [-]th, the integrated Jiang Wei Corps came to the Golden City.

The Golden City is the east gate of Hanzhong County.Going east from here is Weixing County.And go north from here?Meridian Valley!
"My subordinate, Lu Ya, pay my respects to the general. The general's two battles with Longxi, the martial arts are famous all over the world. I bow to you!"

"Hehehe, Zhong Le, why did you start to learn to flatter? If it weren't for the great Sima who attracted 10,000+ troops for us in Guanzhong, how could we have taken Longxi so smoothly. Well, the current situation in Guanzhong How about it?"

The Qinling Mountains traverse north and south, except for a few north-south canyons, in this era, it is a natural moat that no army can cross.However, that is for an army that needs a large amount of supplies and a constant supply.For individuals, as long as the courage is enough, luck is good enough.It is still possible to go back and forth between the mountains and valleys of the Qinling Mountains.

For more than half a year since the start of the war, Siwen Cao of the Shu Han has maintained an information channel among the mountains of the Qinling Mountains with great courage and perseverance.In order to maintain this passage, hundreds of Siwen envoys either fell off the cliff or were buried in the tiger's mouth.Even Lu Ya, the highest official of Si Wencao, also narrowly escaped death.

"Reporting to the general, Da Sima is still in Mei County. After the Jin army replaced Shi Zhongrong as commander, it began to harass the two cities, but did not launch a large-scale attack on the city. It's just that after the Jin army changed the layout, we and The connection in the city is completely broken. How much food and fodder are there in the two cities, and whether there is an epidemic in the city, the lower officials are not very clear."

"Hmm...how is the strength of the Jin army now?"

"...In general, the Jin army is deployed in this way. In general, Shi Zhongrong deployed more than 14 people outside the two cities of Mei County. There are also 5000 foreign troops in auxiliary roles. Da Sima got in touch and made a certain promise. As long as our army can maintain its strength in the following battles, it is not impossible for them to defect... There are 5000 people, respectively, Li Fu, Yuan Qing, Ju'an each led [-] men to guard the exits of Chencang Road, Baoxie Road, and Ziwu Valley."

"Hehe, who is the guard of Meridian Valley?"

"Sentence sentence Meng Jing."

"Hahahaha~~ With Zhong Le's ability, I guess he got in touch with Meng Jing, right?"

"Hehehe, of course. However, Meng Jing said that all the soldiers under him are from the Luoyang Central Army, and the lieutenants at all levels listen to him now, but he absolutely cannot do it if these officers and soldiers surrender to my big man."

"It doesn't matter, as long as he can temporarily suppress the report of the scouts in the Meridian Valley to inquire about our army's movements for a few days."

"This is what Meng Jing promised the general."

"Hahahaha~~~~ Shan, by the way, Zhong Le, how is the contact with Zhang Hu and Zhang Xiong?"

"Oh, I just want to discuss this matter with the general in detail. Since Dong Wu Lu Youjie sent troops, Chen Xiuyuan of the Jin Kingdom has withdrawn from the three counties of Shangyong in an emergency. Now the strength of Zhang Hu and others has recovered to more than [-] People... and Lu Youjie has already taken Xiangyang. So they are going to take advantage of Chen Xiuyuan's being involved in Xinye, and go east to take Zhuyang."

"What? Lu Youjie is so powerful! This Wu dog is also born in a large number of talents!" After carefully listening to Lu Ya's story about Lu Kang's two crossings of the Han River and his surprise capture of Xiangyang.Even a general like Jiang Wei almost dropped his jaw in shock.

But this kind of surprise and admiration only lasted for a moment: "Lu Youjie's military strategy is indeed not inferior to Lu Boyan. However, he is just a general. Compared with our big man Zifeng, he is far behind."

"Hehe, the general agrees with what the general said."

"Well, everyone." After listening to Lu Ya's report, Jiang Wei stood up: "Now the situation of the battle is extremely obvious. First of all, our allies, whether it is Wu or Wei, have achieved great results. Their Success will at least guarantee the complete security of our eastern border, and at the same time, it will also make Jin temporarily unable to send more reinforcements to Guanzhong. Secondly, now that Guan Da Sima is in danger, it has attracted nearly 20 troops from Jin to gather in the In the wild. Since the prime minister, I have been looking forward to a decisive battle with the enemy's heavy army group in the wilderness. This time has finally appeared! Everyone, you are confident that you will use less than half of the opponent's strength , and win it in the field?"

"Of course there is!"

"Hahaha, great general, who are the soldiers of my big man afraid of fighting in the field?"

"Very good! This will also have great confidence in this! But before that, we have to do one thing first!"

"Please show me the general."

"Surprise Ziwu Valley, take Chang'an first! Wei Wenchang's strategy in the past, let us realize it for him!"
