Chapter 1165: Heaven is not beautiful

Zhuge Dan has always been most worried about the reinforcements of the Wu army, and the two cities of Dongxing are difficult to overcome, if the reinforcements of the Wu army arrive, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

However, Wu's reinforcements will definitely come, Dongxing is a newly built fortress of Wu, Dongxing is attacked, it is impossible for Wu not to send reinforcements to rescue, the only uncertainty is that the reinforcements will come early or late.

Heavy snow fell and roads were blocked, Zhuge thought that it was not only the Wei army that would be affected, at least the reinforcements of the Wu State would also be greatly affected, and they would definitely arrive in Dongxing a few later than originally planned.

In fact, Zhuge Dan was wrong, although the Wu army was affected to a certain extent, but it did not have much impact, because the Wu army did not take the land route but the water route, and the heavy snowfall affected the visibility of the river at most, and it did not affect the speed of the boat.

After Zhuge Ke got the news of the Wei army's invasion of Dongxin, he immediately gathered the army and rushed to the Dongxing front.

Zhuge Ke wants to send troops to the Northern Expedition, it is not a matter of one or two, for this reason, he has carefully prepared the strategy of the Northern Expedition, and has already raised the army, originally Zhuge Ke planned to attack Wei in a short period of time, but he did not expect the Wei army to kill one step in advance, which also saved Zhuge Ke the time to gather the army.

Now Zhuge Ke urgently needs a victory to boost his prestige, whether it is to attack or defend, as long as he can win the battle.

When Sun Quan was alive, the most criticized thing was that he was reckless and constantly sent troops to provoke the Wei State, but he often returned with a big defeat and few victories.

Therefore, Zhuge Ke must also consider before sending troops, and if he can't achieve the desired result, then not only will he not be able to get the prestige that Zhuge Ke wants, but it will affect his current status, so the army is almost assembled, but Zhuge Ke is still hesitating.

And this Wei army's attack gave Zhuge Ke a reason to no longer hesitate to send troops, everyone has hit the doorstep, and if he doesn't send troops, is it like words?

This time the troops must not hesitate, and they must be fast, they must be resolute, and they must rush to Dongxing before the second city of Dongxing is lost.

Dongxing two cities, but put a lot of effort into Zhuge Ke, from the strategic location of the consideration, Dongxing two cities are related to the gains and losses of Jiangbei, once Dongxing is lost, the mouth of the Xukou will definitely not be able to be saved, and once the mouth of the Wei army is broken, the Wei army can drink the Yangtze River, directly threatening the safety of Jianye, the foundation of the entire Jiangdong will be shaken, so the major events related to Jiangdong Sheji, not only Zhuge Ke, the entire Dongwu will be affected by it, this affects not the interests of a person and a family, but the interests of the entire class of Jiangdong, Everybody will fight for it.

Therefore, the rescue operation of the Wu army was very fast, and it only took four hours for the 40,000 troops to reach Xutang, which was far away from the Wei army.

According to past experience, the military operations of the Wu army have always been relatively procrastinated, and it is impossible to reach Huainan without ten and a half months of transferring troops from Jianye.

And this time, Ruci's speed is indeed unexpected, it stands to reason that it is impossible to complete it in three or four times just by mobilizing the army, but I didn't expect that this time the Wu army's actions would be so vigorous and resolute, completely disrupting Zhuge Dan's plan.

Zhuge Dan's estimated time for Wu Jun's reinforcements is about ten, under normal circumstances, Wu Jun's ten can rush to Dongxing It is really good, and Zhuge Dan's plan is that Dongxing two cities must be taken within ten days.

But now the plan is all messed up, after the Wei army sent troops, it encountered wind and snow, and the siege operation was repeatedly frustrated, and Dongxing, which was originally won by ten, has now become far away.

What's even more tricky is that the reinforcements of the Wu army will arrive in advance, which can't help but make Zhuge Dan is puzzled, in such a bad situation, it would be good if the reinforcements of the Wu army could not be late, how could it be advanced, unless Zhuge Ke prepared the army in advance and made all the preparations before the expedition, it could be like a thunderous school

However, how is this situation possible, the Wei army's military operation has always been secret, although the plan to send troops has been formulated as early as half a year ago, but all the preparations are carried out in secret, the purpose is to kill Wu by surprise.

But judging from the current situation, the Wu army is fully prepared, and it is clear that the plan of the Wei army to send troops has already been leaked, but how can this plan be leaked?

Zhuge is incomprehensible.

Because of this military operation, only the high-level people of Wei State knew the real details, all military movements, grain and grass preparations were carried out in secret, and few people who really knew about it knew very little, and even on the Huainan front, the generals under Zhuge Dan were all ordered before the departure, and they did not know anything in advance. Even if there were Wu Jun's spies hidden in the Huainan army, it was impossible to pass the news to Jiangdong so quickly, so that the Wu army had already been prepared.

Zhuge Dan can't think of this reason even if he wants to break his head, but now even if he thinks of the reason, it is not so important, after all, the reinforcements of the Wu army have arrived in Dongxing, and the Wei army must readjust the tactical plan, the first thing is no longer how to break through the second city of Dongxing, but how to repel the reinforcements of the Wu army, and now the primary task of the Wei army has changed from besieging the city to how to send reinforcements.

What made Zhuge Dan a little relieved was that the reinforcements of the Wu army were not as many as he imagined, only 40,000 horses were sent, compared with the 70,000 troops of the Wei army, the number of the Wu army was less than half, such a comparison of troops, the Wei army occupied an obvious advantage, and Zhuge Dan had no reason to be afraid of the Wu army.

Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a decisive battle with the Wu army, even if it is not a decisive battle in Dongxing, and it is killed under the city of Jianye, this battle is inevitable, it is better to fight early that night, if you can solve the main force of the Wu army in Dongxing, next, wouldn't it be smooth sailing to attack Jianye?

However, now the decisive battle with the Wu army, but it seems to be a bit unpretentious, this heavy snow, not only the Wei army, but also the Wu army will be affected, it seems that it is impossible to fight now, only when the snow stops clearing, the two sides can fight well.

Zhuge Dan is full of confidence in this battle, and now everything is ready, only the snow has stopped, and if you want to fight this battle, you can only look at the face of the master.
