The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 461 The Old Man Doesn't Stand Up (Part [-])
"The person here is Jiang Boyue in person? Dongyang Chen Qian is being polite!"

"Tian Shui Jiang Wei, I met brother Xiu Yuan. I have admired his name for many years, and I finally see you today. It really makes sense."

Outside Yingtao City, [-] cavalry and nearly [-] horses were divided into two teams. The formations they laid out each stretched for hundreds of meters and were hundreds of meters deep.All of a sudden, the wind blew and the flags fluttered, and it looked extremely spectacular on the wide plain.

But now, all [-] knights restrained their horses.Both sides tried their best to make no noise in the battle formation.The gazes of countless people and horses were all focused on the two pale-haired old men who came out of the crowd.

Taking a glance at Yingtao, whose two walls had been stripped off from a distance, Chen Qian cupped his hands at Jiang Wei helplessly: "Bo Yue came so fast!"

"It's a fluke, and you don't dare to neglect the famous Chen Xiuyuan."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Jiang Wei flicked the reins and got closer to Chen Qian: "Brother Xiuyuan, the situation of the battle today is clear. Why bother doing unnecessary things?"

"Heh~ Qian doesn't think the battle is over."

"Yeah." Jiang Wei was not interested in arguing with Chen Qian, but just opened up another topic: "Brother Xiu Yuan, who is Geng this year?"

"Qian is seventy-two this year."

"Hehehe, it seems that the three characters of Brother Xiuyuan are not wrong. Wei is 71 years old this year."

"Hahaha~~ Boyue, you and I are getting old, and this big battle is likely to be the last battle between you and me. Therefore, no matter where the war progresses, Qian will definitely fight to the end!"

"Brother Xiu Yuan's words are very reasonable. Wei and Deng Shizai have fought fiercely for many years, but unfortunately his opponent in the last battle was not me. This is really a pity in life. If I can have a good fight with Brother Xiu Yuan this time, it will be a lifetime of comfort. "

"Shan, in the past years, Qian, Shi Zhongrong, and Deng Shizai were all promoted and reused by Emperor Xuan (Sima Yi) at the end of the year. Now, Deng Shizai has been killed for many years, and Shi Zhongrong also died of illness on the bed last year. Qian sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night, only to feel Sadness comes from it. I hope you and I will not regret this battle!"

"Of course. In the old days, Cao Mengdeyun was an old man, and his ambition was thousands of miles. Hehehe, it is so sad that the old horse can't run and leans against the side of the manger and imagines the glory of galloping the world in the past. Brother Xiuyuan, I advised you to give up Wei is rude. You and I are about to die, I hope that in this battle, you can add the last touch of color to your remaining life!"

"It's true, Boyue, let's leave for now, and please take care."

"Farewell, take care!"

Shortly after the two returned to their own positions, the cavalry on both sides began to turn one by one, and then retreated slowly.Only the officials and citizens in Yingtao City were left in a trance.

"General, now that Yingtao City Wall has been destroyed, where should our army go?"

"Well, take the map."

Soon the guards around him handed over the map, and Chen Qian glanced at it on the horse and said: "Order the whole army, go south, let's go to Ren County."

"Ren County?"

"However, according to Jinzuo Cao's information, the main force of this Han army is between [-] and [-], mainly cavalry. Our army has [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. In terms of power, our army is inferior to the Han army, but when it comes to the ability to attack fortified positions, at least this Han army is extremely limited. Therefore, since Yingtao, which is located in an important traffic route, cannot be defended, then we just need to find another county. And Compared with Yingtao, which is located in the north of Daluze, there are three rivers flowing alternately in Ren County, plus the depression formed by Daluze. It can limit the cavalry of the Han army to the maximum."

"Great General, I will understand. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Grand General Rong Zhi, the west of Yingtao is the State of Zhao. Now Zhao Wang is sitting in Yecheng and is in charge of our army's logistics... If we give up Yingtao, Zhao State will have a mistake..."

"Huh! The old man was played by Lu Kang because of the blind command of King Runan back then. Now that the Yingtao city defense is gone, if 10 people are stationed here, there are so many recruits in the Chinese army. If the enemy's cavalry breaks through a little bit, our army may collapse... We warriors, since we are on the battlefield, we should think of victory as our focus. Don't think about these messy things! In the final analysis, this is about Dajin In the battle of life and death, is it true that King Zhao, the royal family, dares to cut off the old man’s military rations because of such a trivial matter? The whole army immediately went south and sent out messengers to let the infantry behind them stop advancing after they arrived in Ren County, and immediately strengthen the city defense !"

"Here!"

And on the other side.

"General, where is our army going now?"

"Hehehe, now, of course we are retreating north."

"Uh... where to withdraw?"

"Bring a map... Well, let's retreat to Yangshi County, which is [-] miles away from Yingtao. We will wait there for the follow-up troops of our army."

"Leader!"

The messengers went to convey Jiang Wei's order, but Zhao Tong and others surrounded Jiang Wei and did not leave.

"General, what do you think of Chen Xiuyuan's successor?"

"Hehehe, Chen Xiuyuan is a good general of the world. Of course, such a person will be very clear about his own strengths and weaknesses. In my opinion, since Yingtao is not easy to defend, then he has to retreat south, eh , it is estimated that they are stationed in Ren County."

"General, although the city wall of Yingtao was destroyed, the enemy army had to retreat south to find a strong city to garrison. However, our army is insufficient after all. As long as the enemy army enters a city, no matter how low the city wall is, It is very difficult for our army to win."

"Well, what Bo Zhi said is quite right. So our army can't take the initiative to attack the city. In my opinion, after we retreat to Yang's, we can just spread out the cavalry and monitor Chen Xiuyuan's movements at all times. As long as he doesn't go north to try to repair Yingtao The city wall, we don't have to start a decisive battle with it immediately."

"Great General Gao Ming, uh, the last general has a question?"

"Please speak, Bozhi."

"If the reinforcements from our army haven't arrived, then why would Chen Xiuyuan lead the main force to go north?"

"Hehehe, Chen Xiuyuan wouldn't be so stupid. Our army is so much more mobile than the opponent, how could he attack us so stupidly? What he can do is to station in Jizhou and let the aristocratic families of Youji think about it Thinking, it won’t fall to us completely. Then, although our army’s grain roads are already clear, the journey to bring food from Chang’an is too long. However, it is relatively fast to transport food from Luoyang. Therefore, If the confrontation continues for a long time, our army may run out of food in advance!"

"Huh? Why is this man so unmotivated? Do you want to deal with us like Sima Yi used to grind the prime minister away?"

"Hehehe, this is the magic weapon that the Sima family relies on for their survival. From what I can see, Chen Xiuyuan's record in Jingzhou and Yangzhou in the past, although at least [-]% of the ten battles were won, but his command is basically stable. Defense, exhausting the enemy's vigor... In a word, there is almost no sense of surprise. This is completely different from Deng Shizai's style. It can be said that he is the one who has truly inherited Sima Yi. It's just that at this time and at that time, the current state of Jin It's not the puppet Wei of the past, and the big man of today is not the big man of the past. This battle, the old man will win!"
