Chapter 192: Sending troops

In fact, Zhuge Zhan is also very embarrassed in the court today, although it was Yan Yu who proposed to ask for help from Dongwu at the beginning, but Zhuge Zhan also supported it in the middle, if someone is responsible for this, Zhuge Zhan can't escape it. However, with Zhuge Zhan's identity, Liu Chan naturally can't add guilt, and no one will pursue it.

But Zhuge Zhan was also very uncomfortable in his heart, when it came to moving Dongwu to rescue the troops, Zhuge Zhan was not selfish, the Wei army invaded the territory in a big way, Jiang Wei was unable to support it alone, if Dongwu could send troops to rescue at this time, it would be tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

But the ending was not what Zhuge Zhan expected, there was no charcoal in the snow, but it came to the ground, Wu Guo's treacherous behavior, so that Zhuge Zhan's situation was difficult, to put it simply, it was Zhuge Zhan who mistrusted people, mistakenly regarded the traitor as a good person, and said in a deep layer, it was you Zhuge Zhan who did not know the wisdom of people, and there was a major mistake in the strategy of governing the country, and he was completely incompetent as the first auxiliary minister.

Zhuge Zhan felt the pressure on his shoulders, the consequences of the decision-making mistake were very serious, and now he was the only one who stepped forward and took on the heavy responsibility, who made him the son of Wuhou, with the aura of Zhuge Liang, when others could retreat, he couldn't.

Liu Chan was a burst of joy and a burst of worry, Zhuge Zhan was able to come forward at a critical time, and it was not in vain that he had cultivated him for so many years, but Liu Chan was also secretly worried that Zhuge Zhan was the general of Wei, in charge of the palace forbidden army, if he wanted to go on an expedition, it would be to take away most of the royal forest army. At the thought of cutting down the forbidden army of the palace, Liu Chan had a chilling feeling.

"If Zhuge Aiqing goes, what is the safety of Chengdu?"

Zhuge Zhan said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will lead the army to go." Chengdu is led by Dong Ju, an auxiliary general. Be as stable as a mountain. ”

Liu Chan nodded helplessly. At this point, Chengdu's Imperial Forest Army is indeed a last resort that cannot be mobilized, but now the situation is really a last resort, and Chengdu has almost no adjustable troops except for the Royal Forest Army. However, Liu Chan was still a little uneasy about Zhuge Zhan leading the troops alone, and said, "Who can go with Zhuge Qing?" ”

Liu Yin immediately stepped forward and said: "The minister is willing to lead the army to help Zhuge Du protect his hand." ”

Zhuge Zhan was slightly surprised, his relationship with Liu Yin was not harmonious. And Liu Yin and Zhang Shao in the service are very close, Zhang Shao is a member of Jiang Wei's family, and it is natural that Zhuge Zhan regards Liu Yin as Jiang Wei's faction, the two sides have different political opinions, and there has been a long history of open and secret fighting, but at this time, Liu Yin can come forward, which is indeed beyond Zhuge Zhan's expectations.

In fact, Zhuge Zhan was mistaken, although Liu Yin was closer to Zhang Shao, he was not from Jiang Wei's faction, although the relationship between Liu Yin and Zhuge Zhan was not harmonious. But in the face of national righteousness, Liu Yin really didn't care about any personal grievances. What's more, when he came to Zhuge Zhan, he couldn't talk about much grievances.

With Liu Yin's understanding of Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Zhan's character is beyond doubt, he dared to accept orders when the country was in danger, sternly refused Deng Ai's surrender, angrily beheaded the messenger sent by Deng Ai, and finally both father and son were martyred, fulfilling the reputation of Zhuge as a loyal martyr for three generations. But in the battle of Jinzhu, which was related to the fate of Shu Han's survival, Zhuge Zhan's low-level military literacy was also jaw-dropping, giving up the favorable terrain, giving up holding the city, avoiding the strengths and weaknesses, and fighting a decisive battle with Deng Ai, who was experienced in actual combat, in the plains, almost more stupid than Zhao Kuo who talked about the war on paper.

Zhuge Zhan is the kind of talent who belongs to the kind of civil war insiders and outsiders, Zhuge Liang has a son in middle age, Zhuge Zhan was only eight years old when he died, in addition to Zhuge Liang's fame, Zhuge Zhan almost did not inherit anything, on the contrary, under Liu Chan's deliberate arrangement, Zhuge Zhan's career went all the way, and finally he was a very human minister, and Zhuge Zhan may not lack political power in the court, but the scum of military literacy and combat effectiveness is only minus five to lead the troops out to fight, Liu Yin is the first to worry.

You must know that the opponent Zhuge Zhan has to face is Lu Kang, the last famous general of Wu State, although Lu Kang has not yet become famous, but Liu Yin knows that this terrible opponent is definitely not something that Zhuge Zhan can match.

That's why Liu Yin stepped forward, Shu Han can't afford to lose now, Zhuge Zhan led the Imperial Forest Army to the battle, if the army is defeated again, Shu Han will really reach the point of destruction.

At this time, Yan Yu also went out and said: "The minister is also willing to lead the people and horses of the headquarters to accompany Zhuge Duhu to go on the expedition and make meritorious contributions." ”

Liu Chan nodded with satisfaction, it seems that when the crisis is in danger, there are still many loyal and brave people, so he said: "Okay, Zhun Song, with the right general Yan Yu and Anxi general Liu Yin accompanied the Wei general Zhuge Zhan to attack Wu Yi, I sat in the palace and waited for Zhuqing to triumph." ”

The team for the expedition was quickly determined, with Zhuge Zhan as the leader, the right general Yan Yu and the Anxi general Liu Yin as the assistants, and Shu Han mobilized a total of 45,000 men and horses, ready to recruit the invading Wu people.

Among them, Liu Yinjun had three battalions and 15,000 people, and Yan Yu brought two battalions and 10,000 troops from Yong'an this time, and the remaining 20,000 horses were mobilized from the right side of Yulin, Li Qiu's Yulin Right Army and Hu Ben Zhonglang Huang Chong's Tiger Ben Army. Soldier Cao Shangshu and Zhang Zun were responsible for the logistics support of the entire expeditionary army as the receiving envoy.

Huang Chong is the son of Huang Quan, when the battle of Yiling, the Shu army was defeated, and Huang Quan, the general of Zhenbei who defended Cao Wei on the north bank of the Yangtze River, was blocked, and had to surrender to Wei, according to the law, his family was to be convicted, but Liu Bei only said one sentence, "I am responsible for Huang Quan, and the right is not worthy of me", and his wife was spared. After Huang Chong grew up, he became Shang Shulang, and later served as Hu Ben Zhonglang, and was able to serve as the commander of the forbidden army, which also shows the trust of the later lord.

Liu Yin still has some impression of Huang Chong, in history Huang Chong followed Zhuge Zhan to go on the expedition, this person inspired morale to be a good hand, under his encouragement, the Shu army united as one, as if death was home, and Huang Chong's views on military affairs are also higher than Zhuge Zhan, before rushing to Fu County, he had tears to persuade Zhuge Zhan, to him quickly seize the favorable terrain, Deng Ai out of the plain, but the self-righteous Zhuge Zhan did not accept advice, which eventually led to the defeat of Mianzhu, and Huang Chong and Li Qiu Zhang Zun also died in battle.

If Zhuge Zhan was willing to listen to the advice, maybe the fate of Shu Han could be rewritten, but history has never assumed that Zhuge Zhan was conceited and smart, but he was mistaken by himself, lost his teacher and humiliated the country, and the Shu Han regime was also destroyed.

Deng Ai was defeated by Liu Yin, and the battle of Mianzhu no longer existed, but the history is strikingly similar, Lu Kang came to disrupt the situation, Zhuge Zhan led the army to fight, and the same is also the situation of life and death for Shu. (To be continued......)
