Liu Yin frowned, it seems that the development of the war is much faster than he expected, obviously Sima Zhao is very determined to destroy Shu, after the defeat of Deng Ai, he quickly sent reinforcements, and opened up a second front, attacking Yizhou from Langzhong, so that the Shu army must face the pressure of fighting on two fronts.

Now Jiang Wei's entire division is in the Sword Pavilion, and there is only one battalion of 5,000 people in Langzhong guarding the town, facing ten times the enemy army on his side, the pressure can be imagined.

Liu Yin estimated that the imperial court would soon discuss this matter, so he instructed Ah Jian to arrange an independent camp for Wei Xuewu and settle her down for the time being. Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to come to the palace to announce the edict and summon Liu Yin into the palace.

Liu Yin didn't dare to delay, rode a fast horse and left the camp in the eastern suburbs, and went straight to the palace.

Today's court meeting was convened temporarily, so there were not too many people coming, except for Zhuge Zhan, the general of the Central Capital, Dong Ju, the general of the auxiliary state, Fan Jian, and Zhang Shao, who was in the middle of the service, there were only a dozen people involved in the military aspect, among which Yan Yu, the right general, had just returned from Yong'an, and was also among the court councils.

Liu Yin was outside the city, he came later than the city, and when he arrived, all the ministers had almost arrived, either sitting in danger or whispering, but everyone's expressions were very serious, and the atmosphere above the hall was also extremely solemn.

Liu Yin arched his hand slightly at everyone and sat down under Zhang Shao.

Not long after, Liu Chan also appeared, and it was obvious that the look of worry on his face could be seen, and he was also absent-minded about the courtiers' salutes, waved his hand casually, said "flat", sat down behind the dragon case, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen." Presumably, you all already know about the anti-Wei invasion of Langzhong. Today's court meeting. It is to discuss the strategy of dealing with the enemy, what do you think of Aiqing? ”

Shang Shu ordered Fan Jian to play out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, Langzhong is the northeast gateway of Yizhou, connecting Chengdu in the west, Jiangzhou in the south, and Yongan in the east. Please send reinforcements to rescue Langzhong. ”

Although Langzhong is far away from Chengdu, it is the northeast barrier of Yizhou, especially after the fall of Langzhong, Jiangzhou Ba County is almost unsafe. After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, he sent Zhang Fei to guard Langzhong, and many people did not understand what he meant, a heavy general like Zhang Fei should have guarded the border points, but then Zhang He invaded Langzhong. Zhang Fei was defeated, and 30,000 horses were also lost. Cao Cao's idea of spying on Xichuan made everyone have to admire Liu Bei's strategic vision, and then Zhang Fei has been guarding Langzhong for seven years, and finally was killed by Fan Jiang Zhang Da.

During the reign of Zhuge Liang, the battle line moved forward to Hanzhong, and Langzhong's status as a defensive town in northeastern Sichuan naturally declined, but it has always maintained enough garrison troops, but this time Hanzhong was lost, and Langzhong's defensive position was highlighted again, but it was quite difficult to lead 5,000 soldiers to defend Langzhong with Brazil Taishou.

This time, the Wei reinforcements entered Hanzhong, and did not reinforce Zhonghui, who attacked the Sword Pavilion, as people expected, but set off from Nanzheng, took the Micang Road and went straight to Langzhong. Compared with the Golden Bull Road of the Sword Pavilion, the Rice Cang Road is dangerously located on the rock side, steep to the abyss, the dangerous peaks are standing, the mountains are stacked, it is very difficult and dangerous, and it is not better than the Yinping Trail, but the Rice Cang Road has been the passage into Shu since ancient times, and it has always been guarded by the Shu army, so after Zhong Hui entered Hanzhong, he did not choose the Rice Cang Road and changed to the relatively gentle Golden Bull Road. After Jia Chong entered Hanzhong, he took the Micang Road and pointed directly at Langzhong.

Due to the high mountain and dangerous roads, the news of Jia Chong's arrival in Hanzhong and the march from Micang Road was kept in the dark and did not know until mid-February after Jia Chong's vanguard conquered Yanqu and Mengtou, the Brazilian Taishou Wang Dai was shocked to hear the news of the Wei army's attack, and while sticking to Langzhong, he sent people to Chengdu for help.

The situation in Langzhong was critical, Fan Jian proposed to send reinforcements immediately, but Liu Chan hesitated, now nearly half of the troops of Shu Han are in the Sword Pavilion, and the defenders of Chengdu are only thirty or forty thousand, and the troops of other garrisons are also extremely limited.

Dong Ju came out of the squad and said: "Langzhong is in danger, and the army that is not the Sword Pavilion cannot be saved, Your Majesty can issue an edict to order the general Jiang Wei to come out with an army, and the left cavalry general Zhang Yi will lead the gallop to aid Langzhong, and the siege of Langzhong can be solved." ”

When Jiang Wei was in the middle of the book, he had already asked Liu Chan to send the left cavalry general Zhang Yi to garrison the Yinping Bridge, and the right cavalry general to assist in the defense of Yang'an Pass, but Liu Chan listened to Huang Hao's slander, hesitated, and never sent troops, resulting in the loss of Yinping Bridge and Yang'an Pass, and then the situation was critical, Zhang Yi and Liao Hua's reinforcements were finally sent out, but when they arrived at the Sword Pavilion, Jiang Wei's army had retreated to the Sword Pavilion in advance, so Zhang Yi Liaohua and Jiang Wei's soldiers were united and stuck to the Sword Pavilion.

As soon as Dong Ju proposed a plan to divide the army of the Sword Pavilion to rescue Langzhong, Zhang Shao stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty must not, the army of Zhonghui gathered outside the Sword Pavilion Pass, attacking day and night, and the defenders of the Sword Pavilion were only alone, barely maintaining the offensive and defensive situation. The attack on the Sword Pavilion is the main force of the Wei army, and the attack on Langzhong is just the Wei army's partial division, and the minister thinks that the move against Wei is the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and it is precisely to mobilize the army of the Sword Pavilion to aid Langzhong in the east, resulting in the emptiness of the Sword Pavilion, and Zhong Hui will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

Originally, Dong Ju proposed to divide the soldiers of the Sword Pavilion to save Langzhong, Liu Chan agreed, but after Zhang Shao said this, Liu Chan hesitated again, compared with Langzhong, the Sword Pavilion is much more important, and whether it is lost or not will directly determine the survival of Chengdu, which is unacceptable to Liu Chan. But the same Langzhong is also the gateway of Shuzhong, once there is a loss, the consequences are equally unbearable, Liu Chan is sitting on pins and needles, this Sword Pavilion and Langzhong, which is more important, he really can't weigh it clearly, and he doesn't know how to choose for a while.

Liu Yin saw it in his eyes, and he also understood it very well in his heart, the Imperial Forest Army in Chengdu should not be moved lightly until it was absolutely necessary, and the Jiang Wei army of the Sword Pavilion could not be moved without permission, the current Shu army was overstretched, and compared with the powerful Wei State, the disadvantages of Shu Han were immediately highlighted. After Wei lost Deng Ai's 30,000 horses, it was not affected at all, but immediately doubled its reinforcements, and now Wei has invested more than 200,000 troops in Hanzhong, while Shu's limited troops have to deal with multiple fronts, so it is naturally very tight.

Seeing that the ministers were speechless, Liu Yin stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers can lead the troops to rescue Langzhong." (To be continued......)
