Chapter 452: Ju'an's Conspiracy
Zhong Hui was stunned, and the generals under the tent were directly dumbfounded. In the early days of the war, the progress was also very smooth, capturing Hanzhong, laying down the Sword Pavilion, and even forcing the Shu lord Liu Chanqian to move the capital to Nanzhong, when everyone thought that Shu was already a long time away from the day of destruction, but suddenly came the news of the loss of Yongliang Erzhou.
This was simply a thunderbolt from the sky, which made all Wei generals stunned. With such a big amount of energy from where the Shu Kingdom came from, it could actually achieve an earth-shattering reversal? It's incredible.
Hu Lie was the most angry, his younger brother Hu Shi died in the battle of Chang'an, Hu Lie was filled with grief and anger, and was the first to ask Zhong Hui to return to Hanzhong and destroy Liu Yin.
The generals also asked for their lives, after all, the gains and losses of Guanzhong and Hanzhong determine the life and death of the Wei army, and now the grain road has been intercepted, and the Wei army that entered Yizhou can no longer obtain a grain of grain supply, and the amount of grain and grass required by the 100,000 army is so amazing, as far as the current grain stock in the army is no longer enough to support the needs of January, that is to say, if you don't want to do it now, a month later, this army will completely collapse without a fight because of the exhaustion of food.
No one wanted to sit still, and the generals emotionally told Zhong Hui that they had to recapture Hanzhong and open up the grain road no matter what, which was related to the life and death of the Wei army, and it was urgent.
Zhong Hui obviously thought a little more, he had been unwilling to return to the military pass, the most important thing was the relationship of interest involvement, and now the Wei army has occupied a huge advantage in Yizhou and has taken the initiative in the overall situation of Yizhou, and once the army is withdrawn, these vested interests will be in vain. Now there is less consideration at this level, and the grain road is intercepted. The entire Wei army is facing life and death, and it is useless to capture more cities, but how to take this Wei army out of the predicament, Zhong Hui obviously has to weigh the pros and cons, plan and then act.
Now the situation in Shuzhong is intertwined and complicated. Wei Shu and Wu Sanfang bit to death, and Zhong Hui just wanted to retreat, which was not an easy task. Lu Kang and Jiang Wei are not good at stubble, and now that the Wei army is in danger, of course they are happy to see it happen and are ready to fall into the well. Even if Zhong Hui wants to withdraw from the army, he has to make a perfect strategy.
"Report! Qiyu Governor, Yang'an Pass was broken by the reverse Shu, Hanzhong Taishou Li Fu and partial general Fang Hong were martyred! "While the people were deliberating. The sentry horse suddenly came to report it.
This time it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the entire Chinese military tent was fried, and the generals looked at each other, and there were many discussions, and there was no agreement.
Yang'an Pass is the most important pass on the Chenghan Avenue, and it is the only way to enter Hanzhong from the Sword Pavilion, if Yang'an Pass is still in the hands of the Wei army, the situation will not be too bad. Even if the Shu army took Hanzhong, the Wei army could still walk around the city. From the Hanzhong Plain to the east to Shangyong (after the loss of Guanzhong, the road to the north was cut off), the two cities of Hanle could not stop the advance of the Wei army at all.
However, after the loss of Yang'an Pass, the situation became much more serious, and the Wei army could only open the route for withdrawal by recapturing Yang'an Pass. And Yang'an Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack (God knows how Li Fu lost Yang'an Pass so quickly?). )。 With the current morale of the Wei army, it may not be easy to recapture Yang'an Pass.
"What is Jiang Wei's move now?" Zhong Hui asked.
Yang'an Guan has been lost, and there is no point in complaining, and now Zhong Hui is more concerned about Jiang Wei's movements. If Jiang Wei and Liu Yin join forces to attack one south and one north, the situation of Zhonghui's army will be very dangerous, as long as the northern and southern Shu armies are trapped in the key passes, and the retreat of the Wei army will be blocked, even if Zhonghui has a thousand clever plans, it will have nowhere to play, and can only be consumed until the food is exhausted, and finally defeated.
In this way, Zhong Hui is naturally unwilling, but if you want Zhong Hui to surrender, it is also very difficult, even if it really reaches the point where you can only surrender, you can also choose to surrender to Wu instead of Shu, Zhong Hui has regarded Jiang Wei and Liu Yin as enemies, and will never surrender to Shu.
Of course, the surrender of Wu is not something that Zhong Hui is willing to accept, no matter who surrenders, Zhong Hui's political life is over, and Lu Kang will never allow Zhong Hui, who surrendered, to continue to be in charge of the army, which is undoubtedly the most unacceptable way for Zhong Hui.
The prison guard handed over the latest military report and said, "The news just came that Jiang Wei used all his troops to kill the Sword Pavilion. ”
Sword Pavilion? Zhong Hui's eyes flashed with a sharp edge. The Sword Pavilion is the north gate of Sichuan and Shu, and the location is extremely important, Jiang Wei was guarding the Sword Pavilion for half a year, so that Zhong Hui had nothing to do. However, with the Wei army entering Yizhou, the defensive value of the Sword Pavilion ceased to exist, and Zhong Hui only retained part of the army in the Sword Pavilion to keep its grain routes open.
Jiang Wei's move made Zhong Hui a little inexplicable, and now that Liu Yin has captured Yang'an Pass, it is equivalent to sealing the way for the Wei army to return north, and Jiang Wei's attack on the Sword Pavilion seems to be adding to the snake.
But Zhong Hui quickly understood, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Two soldiers fight for merit!
At the beginning, the Wei army attacked Shu in three ways, and Deng Ai Xingqi took risks and smuggled through Yinping, wasn't it just to rob the head of Shu? Isn't he afraid that he will steal the first credit by designing to frame Deng Ai? Now Liu Yinbing is in Anguan, but Jiang Wei went to rob the Sword Pavilion, obviously wanting to take all the credit. It seems that whether it is a general of Wei or an important minister of Shu, it is inevitable that they will be vulgar, and their desire for profit is really not fake at all.
Are you really going to be a fish on a board for you to slaughter? Zhong Huiwu sneered secretly in his heart.
"Governor, the Sword Pavilion has few soldiers, I am afraid that Jiang Wei will not be able to stop it, and the last general is willing to lead a group of men and horses to gallop to the aid of the Sword Pavilion to ensure that the road to the north is unimpeded." Hu Lie immediately asked.
Zhong Hui just sneered, shook his head gently, and was speechless.
A person next to him suddenly said: "There will be a plan in the end, which can solve the current situation." ”
Everyone regarded it, but it was the general of Shu who surrendered to Ju'an. Ju'an has always been known for his courage and lack of strategy, and everyone is surprised to see him offer advice, and it is really strange that a brainless person like him is also having a plan. Zhong Hui didn't say anything, but Wei Qian smiled slightly: "General Ju has any clever plan, why don't you speak up?" ”
Ju An held his head high, and said quite smugly: "At this time, Liu Yin is in the north, Jiang Wei is also in the north, and the south is empty, why don't the metropolitan governors take advantage of the void and go south, Liu Yin can take Guanlong, why don't the metropolitan governors take Nanzhong, as long as Liu Chan is captured, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin dare not come to surrender?"
