The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 296
"Zifeng, after the battle of Maoling, the enemy's army has lost their nerve! And they don't have many troops. Give me 2 people to attack all the way and take Tongguan down! Only in this way can I gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong. "

"General, Tongguan is nearly three hundred miles away from Chang'an. You have to rush there for at least a day and a half, and you will have to attack the city after you arrive... Listen to my advice, even if there is no Tongguan, we still have a stable pass..."

"Zifeng! Let the old man be self-willed this time!"

Well, now that you've said it all, what else can I say.

"Hey~~~ How many people does the general want?"

"Twenty thousand!"

"Yes! Uncle Fang, go and help the general organize troops, horses and fodder."

"Hey hey, thank you Zifeng!" After saying this, the old man left contentedly.Only Guan Yi was left there shaking his head helplessly.

"Elder Sima, the great general has good intentions, please..."

"Of course I know he has good intentions! But..." Guan Yi's mood quickly returned to normal after getting angry for no reason: "In other words, have you checked the treasury in Chang'an? How much food?"

"The night Du Yuankai withdrew from Chang'an, Chang'an's aristocratic family and people had already emptied the Chang'an treasury. So..."

"Hehehe~~~" I really couldn't cry but laughed.Glancing at Huangfuyan who buried his head very low, Guan Yi didn't intend to continue to pursue it: the country is in trouble and wealth, if it doesn't turn white, it won't turn white.At this time, if he had just entered Chang'an City and engaged in things like searching and suppressing aristocratic families, then he would be committing suicide.

"How much food does our army have with the army now?"

"There are 60 shi in Mei County. The general has about [-] shi of food with the army. I have already written to General Wang Han in Hanzhong to ask him to restart the food transportation of Baoxie Road immediately. At the same time, in view of the renovation of Ziwu Valley some time ago , part of the food will also be transported through Meridian Valley.”

"Well, issue an order to the follow-up troops in Mei County, leave 3000 people to garrison the two cities of Mei County, and these 3000 people will guard the surrendered troops on the other side of Mei County. Let Zixu be responsible for this matter. Leave [-] people to Mei County Shi Liang, and the rest, all moved to Chang'an."

"promise!"

"Brother Huangfu?"

"You don't have to be so polite, Da Sima. I'll say Bo'an below. If you have anything to say, please do so."

"Well, our army came in a hurry and didn't bring much food with it. These days, please lend me 20 shi of food for emergency."

"Uh... Da Sima Rong said that over the years, the surplus grain of the Guanzhong family has been exchanged for bottle incense and burning knives, so my surplus grain is not much. In this way, there are more than 15 shi of grain in my warehouse in Chang'an City. , there is [-] shi of grain stored in Longshouyuan Shang Manor, and all of them will be handed over to Da Sima first. The delivery can be completed within one day."

"Good! Brother Bo'an, I will declare you as Jing Zhaoyin first, and I will formally appoint you later after His Majesty uses the seal. The stability of the Guanzhong area will all rest on the shoulders of Brother Bo'an."

"Ah?! Thank you, Da Sima."

"Yeah." This guy is too far behind his clan brother Huangfu Ning.After secretly giving Huangfuyan a bad review in his heart, Guan Yi turned his head and said, "Change it, now that there is food, quickly issue an order to recruit civilian husbands and go to Huayin County to build a new pass!"

The so-called south of the mountain is Yang, and the north of the mountain is Yin.Huayin County, as the name suggests, is a county at the foot of the northern foot of Huashan Mountain.How far is he from Tongguan? More than 30 less than forty miles.

Since this war has been fought so far, the Jin Kingdom has lost nearly half of the country's troops, so why not the Shu Han?Moreover, the eight prefectures of the Kanto region of the Jin State are still generally intact, but the Guanzhong area is full of military disasters and natural disasters, which makes Guan Yi feel devastated.

And where is Tongguan?It was built by Cao Cao in 196 to defend the military fortress of Liangzhou warlords.To put it bluntly, this place was originally designed to face enemies from the West.Where is it so easy to beat it?

So Guan Yi really didn't want to fight anymore.What he originally meant was: Jiang Wei still needs to lead his army out of Tongguan.Just line up, don't fight, just let me build a new checkpoint at the foot of Mount Hua relying on the steep terrain.

But what did Jiang Wei think?
"General, since Da Sima has made it clear that he does not want to send troops to fight again, why do you want to?"

"Hey, Bo Zhi, don't you understand my thoughts?"

"The last general is dull, so I ask the general to enlighten me."

"Bozhi, I'm already 66 years old. I don't know how long I can live. And what about Zifeng? But at 36 years old, the future is still very long. Judging from today's situation, Jiang Wei may have a hard time. To live until the day when the great Han unifies the world. In the future, it must be Zifeng who will lead the great Han to reunify. So, I just want to help Zifeng do more when I can do things. Moreover, Zifeng doesn't think so That's right. Tongguan is more than 400 miles away from Luoyang. To the east of Tongguan, there is Hangu Pass. Even if we win Tongguan, Jin may not go crazy."

"So that's how it is. Zhao Tong admires the great general for his integrity. He is willing to do his best to help the great general succeed!"

"Hehehe, Bozhi, your son is also very good! The big man, after all, will be handed over to their generation. We old guys are just trying our best to pave the way for them now."

"Hahahaha~~ The last general is only 53 years old this year, not too old."

"Tch~~~! If you say that, the old man doesn't want to talk anymore. Young man, hurry up and prepare the troops, and lead the army to set off!"

"Hahahaha~~~ promise! The last general takes orders!"

……

Jiang Wei's side set off from Chang'an on August [-]th, while Tongguan's side, on the afternoon of August [-]th, shortly after Du Yu entered Tongguan, welcomed a new commander: Ma Long and Ma Xiaoxing.

During the Jin Dynasty, Yanzhou was governed by Linqiu in Dongjun County.It is more than 800 miles away from Luoyang.It stands to reason that it is impossible for Malone to arrive so soon.Fortunately, at this time, as a public security officer in Yanzhou, Ma Long was patrolling Suanzao in Chenliu County, Yanzhou, which was very close to Luoyang.So after receiving Sima Yan's appointment, Ma Long rushed to Luoyang alone, and immediately rushed to Tongguan alone after seeing Jian Majesty-a powerful man with earth-shattering talents, who was suppressed for 17 years.Now I can finally show my ambition.So although Malone is in his 40s at this time, his enthusiasm is not inferior to any young people.

"I'll wait to see General Ma."

Ma Long's current position is: General Anxi, commander of all military forces in Kansai, and garrison of Tongguan.

In the case that Chang'an has already fallen, the commander of the Guanxi military is just an empty title, let alone him.The position of General Anxi fully explained Sima Yan's mood: it's good to be safe, and it doesn't matter if it's flat, township, or levy.

The core duty is the last one: Tongguan defense!

"Colleagues don't need to be too polite. Ma Long's seniority is very low, and he still needs a lot of teaching and help from his colleagues! But! Since Long has been entrusted by His Majesty to come here to guard Tongguan, it is his duty to shoulder all the burdens. In the coming battle, you must order and prohibit, and do your best to dedicate your loyalty to His Majesty!"

"Don't dare! We will resolutely obey the command of the general and do our best for Da Jin!"

"Good! There is a decree, and Jia Chong will accept it."

"Chen Jiachong accepts the order."

"Zhao, the country is in danger, and I can't live without a car for a day. Therefore, on the day the car and rider receive the order, I will return to Luoyang immediately."

"The minister leads the order."

"There is a decree, Du Yu accepts the decree."

"Criminal Du Yu received the order."

"Zhao, Guanzhong was defeated, and Changshi was to blame. He cut off the post of General Zhengxi, removed the title of Marquis of Fengle, and relegated him to Fenglezi. However, the lone army defending Chang'an, but the Jiang bandit was sharp. It is also meritorious. I worship Tongguan to join the army and help Tongguan to defend and defend the pass."

"The guilty minister received the decree. Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. Dare to try my best to die."

"General Du, please get up." Helping up Du Yu, who was dripping with cold sweat, Ma Long smiled slightly: "General Du used [-] solitary troops to frighten Jiang Wei away in Chang'an. I would have heard about it in Luoyang. I admire it very much! Maoling The defeat had nothing to do with General Du, His Majesty and Shang Shuling are very clear about this point. However, the current situation is such that General Du should be more considerate of the court's difficulties."

"Don't dare. Sin will abandon more than 20 troops and flee alone. Even if he is beheaded by His Majesty, he will have no complaints. Please rest assured, Du Yu is under the command of the governor. He will definitely do his best to help the governor guard this place!"

"Hehehe, so there is General Laudu. Well, Wang joins the army!"

If it is said that Ma Long just came to Tongguan, many generals and senior officials here feel very contemptuous.After these two edicts were issued, none of the generals in Tongguan dared to underestimate him anymore.

So, as soon as Ma Long called Wang Tao, Wang Tao quickly stood up and said, "Please supervise me!"

"I have just arrived, so I don't know the situation here at all. Please tell me, Wang Canjun, how many soldiers, how much food, how many bows and arrows there are in this Tongguan!"
