The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 295
"Your Majesty, if Luoyang can't send reinforcements now, the situation in Guanzhong will be very dangerous for Da Sima!"

"Hey, Ji Yan, although I don't know about soldiers, I still know this bit of common sense. But... Could it be possible to call General Cheqi's troops back?"

"Must turn around! Turn around now!"

"But... well, Ji Yan, even if General Cheqi's army turns around, isn't it too late in time?"

"Your Majesty, I don't mean to let the army of General Cheqi go to support Da Sima, because there is really too little time. What I mean is to let this army go to Tongguan!"

"Tongguan? Ji Yan means that Da Sima is likely to lose, and will Guanzhong be lost?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! It is not scary for the Shu thief to enter Guanzhong from Chencang Road or Baoxie Road. Because our army's food road is not broken, Da Sima can slowly retreat to Chang'an Yicheng to defend. But Jiang Boyue killed him from Ziwu Valley. It’s completely different when you go out. The food road of Da Sima’s army will definitely be cut off. In order to return to Chang’an, Da Sima must start a field battle with Jiang Boyue as soon as possible! And Jiang Boyue’s ability in field battles..."

"This..." If losing Liangzhou was just a heartache, then losing Guanzhong completely would be really painful.Facing Pei Xiu's straightforward pessimistic attitude, Sima Yan really couldn't accept it.

Seeing Sima Yan's sluggish expression, Pei Xiuchang sighed: "Your Majesty, I'm just considering the worst possibility. However, after all, Da Sima's troops are more powerful than those of the Shu thieves. What if it is in a field battle?" How about defeating the Shu thieves? At that time, this army can be transformed into a powerful follow-up to support Da Sima in restoring Longxi. But Tongguan is really important to Luoyang, so please make preparations early!"

"Okay, let's make an order to let the chariot general lead the army back, and then go to Tongguan."

"Uh...Your Majesty, I have one more proposal."

"speak."

"Your Majesty, the ability of the chariot general is not in the military strategy. It should be no problem to lead the army to Jingzhou this time, and there is a general commanding it. But if it really fails in the decisive battle in Guanzhong, the enemy swarms to Tongguan, and the chariot general Ability cannot stand alone."

"Then Ji Yan meant to change generals? Is there anyone to choose?"

"Yes! Yanzhou Wu Meng is engaged in Ma Long and Ma Xiaoxing. He has high martial arts skills and outstanding strategy. He can be the governor of Tongguan!"

"Ma Xiaoxing... I remember that this person is Linghuyu's disciple, right?"

Speaking of which, Ma Long, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty on the historical basis, should not be too young at this time.

In AD [-], Cao Wei Taiwei and Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou's military forces, prepared to attack Sima Yi.As a result, the battle was lost without a fight.Afterwards, Sima Yi wielded the butcher knife, not only wiped out Wang Ling's family, but also killed political enemies everywhere in the name of killing Wang Ling's remaining party accomplices.Among them, Linghuyu, the governor of Yanzhou, had been dead for two years at that time.However, he was also considered to be Wang Ling's accomplice, and his coffin was opened for three days.Three days later, no one dared to stand up and collect Linghuyu's body.Only Ma Long, who was a low-level military officer in Yanzhou at the time, felt that Linghuyu had done a lot of good things for the local area during his tenure as governor of Yanzhou, so he pretended to be Linghuyu's retainer, collected his remains, and rebuilt his tomb.

With such a move, Malone's personal reputation has been brushed up.But it was also labeled as "politically unreliable", and was consciously suppressed by the center.Now, 17 years later, he is still engaged in Wu Meng in Yanzhou——compared with his current official position, he is probably equivalent to the director of a certain provincial public security department.

Although he has been suppressed for political reasons, who is Pei Xiu?The Jin Empire did not have the position of prime minister, and his Shang Shuling was actually half of the prime minister.So he has actually been paying attention to Malone.In the past, Sima Yan stubbornly wanted to use his relatives, so it was difficult for him to recommend them.But now, due to the pressure of the times, Sima Yan has reused generals with different surnames.Pushing Malone out at this point would do the trick.

"Your Majesty, although Ma Xiaoxing did collect the remains for Linghuyu back then, it is just to thank Linghuyu for the good deeds he did for the people when he was governor of Yanzhou. Such a person belongs to a person who knows kindness. If your majesty reuses him, he will definitely use him as a gift." Repay Your Majesty with loyalty. Of course, what is more important is that this person's art of war and strategy are all the best choices. With this person sitting in Tongguan, he will be safe!"

"Okay...then also send a decree to Yanzhou, let that Ma Xiaoxing come to Luoyang immediately."

"According to the order!"

……

On July 29, the Luoyang imperial court issued a steering order to the Jiachong team heading south.On the morning of August [-]st, Jia Chong received an order, and he did not dare to neglect even though he was full of complaints, and ordered the army to turn around.On the morning of August [-]th, Jia Chong's team, who had been marching all the way, returned to Luoyang—of course, they didn't need to enter the city, they directly set foot on the official road between Luoyang and Chang'an, and rushed westward.

It's a pity that the Luoyang Central Army at this time only had one piece of Chinese army skin. Compared with its heyday during the Wei Ming Emperor's period, the overall quality is really far behind.The distance from Luoyang to Tongguan is more than 400 miles. In the past, Zhang Xi only took less than two days to complete the journey, but what about the Jiachong team at this time?It was not until the night of August [-] that they rushed to Tongguan.This is already the result of abandoning some of the stragglers and all the trains.

(At this time, there is a sentence that can be used as a reference for the marching speed of the ancient cavalry. "Five hundred in three days, one thousand in six days." This is a word that praises Commander Xia Houyuan's cavalry for its extremely high mobility. Basically, this speed is the ultimate speed of cavalry marching in that era Yes. With the stirrups, this limit may be a little bit more. The first half of Zhang Xi’s Jieting assault was mainly by water. In ancient times, the water route was much faster than the land route.)
In the early hours of August [-]th, Pang Ding and others arrived at Tongguan with Du Yu on their backs.

Jia Chong, who knew the result of the Huaili-Maoling battle, of course did not dare to advance westward at this time.Finally, Du Yu was still there at this time. Under his suggestion, Jia Chong reported to Sima Yan in Luoyang, and at the same time ordered his army and the former Tongguan defenders to work together to improve the defense of Tongguan.

And on the side of the Shuhan...

"General, Yi really doesn't think it will be successful to take Tongguan at this time. You need to know that this battle has lasted for nearly October. Our soldiers are extremely tired, and the casualties are not small. The general will not be able to attack without troops. , leading more troops, Chang'an still has a lot of things to do..."

On August 3, the vanguard troops of the Shu Han entered Chang'an City.How many?Less than [-] people.

Speaking of which, this time the Shu Han Northern Expedition invested 12 troops in the early stage, and received the full support of Nan'an Qiang in the later stage and continued to invest 13 after searching for the last military power of the country.So the total number of troops involved in the battle was 5000.

In the Huaili-Maoling battle, Jiang Wei invested 6 troops, and in the end more than 3 were killed, and some wounded soldiers could not go to the battlefield.There are only 3 people in the whole army who can continue to fight.As for Guan Yi, the [-] people who fought against Zhou Zhi with [-] people in the outskirts of Mei County also fought extremely fiercely, with more than [-] deaths.There were also a certain number of casualties in the battle of Maoling, and in the end there were only [-] people left on Guan Yi's side.

Excluding the 1 people in Longxi, the thousands of people cleaning the battlefield in Mei County, the thousands of people between Ziwu Valley and Chang'an, and the 40.00 people of Zhang Yi's team that have entered Fengyi County.In this war of the entire Shu Han, more than [-] soldiers were killed or seriously injured.The battle damage rate exceeds [-]%.

Of course, the sacrifices were great, and the achievements were notable.The Jin Empire originally had an army of 11 in Yongliang, and then invested another 16.A total of 27 people, except for Wang Jun's 2-strong army that retreated, the other 25 people stayed in Yongliang.

Of course not all of these 25 people were killed in battle. There were a large number of surrendered soldiers everywhere in Jieting, Mei County, Maoling, along the Weihe River and even Ziwu Valley.Collected together, I am afraid it is no less than one hundred thousand!This is also the reason why Jiang Wei and Guan Yi joined forces, although they had nearly 3 troops, but they could only lead [-] people into Chang'an in advance.

And because of the locust plague in Guanzhong, there are at least [-] deserters from the former Jin State Guanzhong Army scattered on the Guanzhong Plain!It is impossible for these guys to gather again for the Jin Empire, but they have nothing to eat!There is no food, but they can organize, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. This is the seed of a bandit group!
So now that Guan Yi entered Chang'an, he only felt a splitting headache, and felt that there were too few troops: Hurry up, stop fighting, there are so many things to do!

But Jiang Wei just asked him to ask for soldiers to fight Tongguan!

"Zifeng, I have ordered Zihui not to return to the team in a hurry, and asked him to lead the 5000 people who were originally protecting the grain road in Ziwu Valley to take Qingniai. You also agreed. But why don't you let me take Tongguan? ?”

This is different, my general.Qingni Pass is just a pass linking Jingzhou in the Guanzhong area.Firstly, the Jingzhou Legion was restrained by Lu Kang, and secondly, the remnants of the Cao Wei Party threatened the flanks, so it was impossible for them to send heavy troops to defend Qingni Pass.Long Yu's going at this time is also an armed parade.And the most important thing is, is the important performance ratio of Qingniai and Tongguan?There is also a Wuguan between Qingniai and Wancheng in Nanyang County!We won the Qingni Pass, and it is estimated that the Jin State will finish with an "oh".If you take Tongguan, the entire Jin Kingdom must go crazy!

Besides, I really don't think you can take Tongguan down!
　Speaking of the Director of Public Security, raise your hand if you think of Director Qi Tongwei's children's shoes!
