Chapter 980: Unexpected (Part 2)
Although Qin Wang Chu left, Cai Ze stayed.
For Cai Ze, Wei Yu was still very respectful: "What do you want to do with Gang Chengjun?" ”
Cai Ze glanced at Wei Yu deeply, and said slowly: "General Wei Yu, you are honest, now that Zhao Kuo is attacking, can you resist it?" ”
Cai Ze is obviously a knowledgeable person, which can be seen from his question "whether it can be blocked" rather than "whether it can be annihilated".
Wei Yi glanced left and right, and found that there were only two people, himself and Cai Ze, so he said in a low voice: "Gang Chengjun, if he can hold on to Nanzheng, then even if Zhao Kuo has the help of the earth-shaking thunder, it is impossible for him to break through Nanzheng City." ”
Cai Ze thought for a while and asked, "Then if you take the initiative to attack, can you annihilate Zhao Kuo's troops as the king wishes?" ”
Wei Yi looked embarrassed.
This is not to say that Wei Yi is afraid of the battle, but it is really difficult to confront the imposing Zhao army with the foundation of the defeated remnants of the Qin army.
Cai Ze frowned and said in a low voice, "Great Qin needs a victory now. ”
Wei Yu took a deep breath and said in the same low voice: "Fifty percent." ”
"Fifty percent?" Cai Ze's brows furrowed even deeper, and it took a long time before he said, "What you said shouldn't be the whole army dispatched, right?" ”
Wei Yi smiled helplessly: "It's the whole army dispatched." ”
At this moment, Cai Ze's old face was almost completely wrinkled together.
You must know that there are no less than 50,000 Qin troops in Nanzheng City now, although Cai Ze also knows very well how much water is in this number, but the problem is that the troops led by Zhao Kuo are only 5,000 after all.
50,000 people fight 5,000 people, and the winning rate is only 50%?
This result obviously made the old Xiangguo unhappy.
Wei Yi sighed and said: "Gang Chengjun doesn't know, now that the soldiers have just withdrawn from Xianyang, and they have been pursued by Yiqu Sheng all the way and lost their troops, there is indeed no military discipline at all." However, please rest assured that if you can give me ten days and half a month, I will definitely be able to reorganize the army, and it will not be impossible to counterattack and expel Zhao Kuo from Hanzhong at that time. ”
After all, Wei Yi is still a young and vigorous young general, and it is actually very difficult for him to completely abandon offense and go on defense.
Cai Ze glanced at Wei Yi deeply and said, "Actually...... If you follow my intentions, you'd better think about how to stick to Jiameng Pass. ”
"Jia Mengguan?" Wei Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked: "Does Gang Chengjun mean to give up Hanzhong?" ”
Jiameng Pass is located at the southernmost end of the Jinniu Road, which is the north gate of the Bashu Basin, and can be said to be the last and most critical pass to guard the land of Bashu.
If the Qin army retreats to Jiameng Pass, then it will retreat into Bashu, which means that the entire Hanzhong will be surrendered.
Wei Yi was very eager to change Cai Ze's mind: "Gang Chengjun, the terrain in Hanzhong is dangerous, and it can ......."
Cai Ze waved his hand and interrupted Wei Yu's words: "General Wei Yu, I'm afraid you don't know, the information I just got that the army led by Li Mu has begun to enter the Bao Shu Road. ”
Cai Ze said and looked at Wei Yu with blazing eyes: "The Praise Slope Road is not as difficult as the Meridian Road, according to Li Mu's marching speed, it will appear in Hanzhong in about five days at most, and then you can have the confidence to resist Li Mu's offensive?" ”
Wei Yi was silent.
From the bottom of his heart, of course, Wei Yu really wanted to say the word "can".
But the problem is that Wei Yu himself knows very well that with these remnants of his own defeated generals, how easy is it to confront the heroic division of Zhao State that swept through the Central Plains?
Looking at Wei Mi, who was still entangled, Cai Ze couldn't help but sigh, patted Wei Mi's shoulder heavily, and said, "General Wei Mi, so far, you still have to think about how to organize the retreat." Remember, take all the men and supplies that can be taken away, and try not to leave any trace for Zhao Jun! ”
Wei Yu nodded solemnly, then came to his senses again and asked, "Leave immediately?" How should the king explain it? ”
Cai Ze snorted and said in a low voice: "Now you have also seen the situation of the king...... What else do you need to explain? Do it, and I will do it. ”
Wei Yi completely understood it now.
Obviously, the decision to completely abandon Hanzhong and concentrate all forces and resources to defend Bashu was made by Cai Ze himself.
Looking at Cai Ze who was leaving, Wei Yu's face was very complicated.
After a while, Wei Yu sighed softly, and whispered to the few Qin generals who had just come to him: "You wait to organize it quickly, and the whole army will set off early tomorrow morning and retreat to Jiameng Pass!" ”
……
The two-day journey is not long, but it is not short.
When it was dusk the next day, Nan Zhengcheng was already visible in Zhao Kuo's sight.
But it was at this time that a piece of news came that surprised Zhao Kuo.
"The Qin army has all evacuated yesterday morning?"
Zhao Kuo's mouth was wide open, not very willing to believe what he had heard.
It wasn't until he led his 5,000 troops into this almost empty city that Zhao Kuo was really convinced of such a fact - the people of the Qin State really retreated again?
Standing in front of the empty Nanzheng County Shou Mansion, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but shake his head, and thought in disbelief: "The people of the Qin State are retreating?" ”
You must know that before Zhao Kuo thought about it, after all, the people of the Qin State also had 50,000 horses, not to mention taking the initiative to attack themselves, at least it was impossible to be scared away by themselves, right?
As a result, Zhao Kuo never expected that judging from the current situation, the people of Qin seemed to be really scared away by themselves.
Zhao Kuo's personal guard captain came over and smiled at Zhao Kuo: "General, our army easily occupied Hanzhong this time, and scared the Qin people to flee back to Bashu directly. ”
Zhao Kuo snorted and scolded: "These Qin people are really some guts things, and they just escaped like this." ”
Qin Wang Chu, who got his hands, flew like this, which made Zhao Kuo very dissatisfied.
The captain of the guard said with a smile: "General, since Nanzheng City has been taken, then the brothers should be able to rest for a few days, right?" We'll go find a few little ladies in Hanzhong and let them serve the general well......"
"Wait!" Zhao Kuo slapped the captain of the guard on the ground, and snorted: "Pass the order, the whole army will rest on the spot, and continue to set off tomorrow!" ”
"Let's go?!" The captain of the guard looked at Zhao Kuo in surprise.
The corners of Zhao Kuo's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a sinister smile: "This Qin Wang Chu thinks that he can be finished by escaping to Shuzhong?" Hey, General Ben isn't someone to give up so easily. ”
