Chapter 280: Three Kingdoms Scuffle

The end of the battle of Chengdu does not mean the end of the war in Shuzhong, but there is a trend of intensification, the Wei army is divided into three routes, one route from north to south to attack Fucheng, one route from south to north to attack Yucheng, one route from east to west to attack Guanghan, Deyang, the entire war burned all over the Shuzhong Plain.

Different from the field battle, although the Wu army defending the city was inferior to the Wei army in land warfare, it could still obviously contain the offensive of the Wei army by relying on strong city defenses.

This is destined to be a long and arduous tug-of-war, the contest is the comprehensive strength of the two sides, Wu 150,000 troops into Sichuan, almost accounting for half of the total strength of Wu, Wei has sent 230,000 troops into Sichuan, also used more than 40 percent of the army, the two sides in Shu to gather heavy troops, is completely a decisive battle momentum, in the eyes of both sides, who won Yizhou, who has the qualification to dominate the world.

As for the remnants of Shu Han who fled to Nanzhong, they were selectively ignored by both sides.

Of course, it is not completely ignored, but the war situation in Shuzhong is stalemate, and neither Wei nor Wu is powerless or unable to take care of Nanzhong, but in their opinion, the Shu Han court fled to the desolate and remote Nanzhong, which is destined to have no future for development, and can only survive. In the future, no matter who wins the decisive battle in Shuzhong, and the victorious army goes south, he can pacify Nanzhong in one fell swoop and destroy the last remnants of Shu Han.

As for now, it is still necessary to divide the winner and loser in Shuzhong, and when it comes to this part, no one is willing to retreat easily and give away vested interests. Now the situation in Shuzhong. It has become a never-ending game.

The dispute between Yizhou and Wei and Wu was not only a matter for the soldiers on the front lines of the two sides. Sima Zhao, the king of Jin, and Sun Xiu, the lord of Wu, started a behind-the-scenes contest, how to strategize and win a thousand miles, the two leader-level figures can be described as Zen and exhausted.

The battle of Shuzhong was in full swing, and the attack on Jia Chong in Langzhong seemed to have become an idle move, and it didn't seem to be of much use except for shaking Jiang Wei.

At the beginning, Jia Chong led his troops into Shu to attack Langzhong. It is to open a second front and open another door into Yizhou. Jia Chong used his old soldiers, step by step in the battle of Langzhong, eroded the defense line of Shuzhong step by step, and finally killed the Shu Han heavy general Zong Pre, according to Jia Chong's combat mode, Langzhong is also just around the corner.

However, Jia Chong's plan is good, but his luck is a little worse, if there is no Lu Kang of Wu State to disrupt the situation, Jia Chong will definitely enter Yizhou one step ahead of Zhong Hui. But Wu Guo entered the game. The wind and clouds suddenly changed, after the loss of Fucheng. Jiang Wei took the initiative to give up the Sword Pavilion, and asked Zhong Hui to pick up a ready-made bargain and wave his master into Shu.

And Jiang Weijun, who blocked Zhonghui from entering Shu, became Jia Chong's roadblock at this time, Langzhong, which could have been easily taken, due to the influx of Jiang Wei's army, it became a fortified city, Jiang Wei's original army of 50,000 plus the defenders of Langzhong, has surpassed Jia Chong's army in terms of strength, plus defending against danger, the Wei army cannot be crossed at all.

Jia Chong was not discouraged, on the battlefield, the situation was originally ever-changing, how to judge the situation is the way to survive for the general. Jia Chong wrote to Sima Zhao, thinking that now the main force of the Wei army has entered Chengdu, and it is no longer meaningful to attack Langzhong at this time, so it is better to withdraw the troops in Langzhong and return to Hanzhong, turn to the Sword Pavilion, enter Shu from the Sword Pavilion, and join forces with Zhong Hui to fight land resistance.

Sima Zhao agreed to Jia Chong's suggestion to return to Hanzhong, but did not let Jia Chong enter Shu from the Sword Pavilion, but recalled him to Beijing, and ordered Chang Shi Du to temporarily replace his army and move to Shangyong.

Sima Zhao was obviously playing a bigger game of chess, and when everyone's eyes were limited to Yizhou, Sima Zhao had already secretly arranged and prepared for a full-scale war with Wu State. Now that Wu has invested half of its troops in Yizhou, and the emptiness of the country is an indisputable fact, Sima Zhao decided to seize the opportunity to realize his great cause of dominating the world.

Sending Jia Chong back to Beijing is to enrich his staff team, and an all-out war with Wu must coordinate the overall situation, and Jia Chong was originally sent to Langzhong to find another way to open up another way into Shu, but now the situation has changed, as Sima Zhao's confidant and important member, he is like a chicken rib in the remote Langzhong, and it is imperative to transfer him back to Beijing.

Arranged for Du to bring 50,000 troops to Shangyong, Sima Zhao obviously had more meaning. Jia Chong proposed to send 50,000 soldiers and horses to Shuzhong, but Sima Zhao thought that it was not necessary, and now Zhong Hui still had 140,000 troops in his hands (180,000 in Shu, Deng Ai folded 30,000, and Pang Hui folded 10,000), which was enough to support the entire Shuzhong war.

What's more, Sima Zhao is also very wary of Zhong Hui, how did the Sima family get it, Sima Zhao couldn't be clearer, and he couldn't let others usurp his position in the Sima family, others are not suspicious, suspects don't need it, Sima Zhao did the opposite, reusing suspicious people. When Zhong Hui led his troops to the expedition before, Xi Cao Peng Shao Yi reminded Sima Zhao to be more wary of Zhong Hui, thinking that Zhong Hui was ambitious and ambitious, and should not be allowed to take power alone.

Sima Zhao smiled darkly, everything was already in his control, Zhong Hui was ambitious, but he also had the ability, such a person can be used but must be guarded against, now the situation in Shuzhong is unknown, forgive him Zhong Hui does not dare to have any plans, as for strengthening its wings, but it is not what Sima Zhao wants, a hungry tiger can hurt people, and if he eats too much, he will eat the master.

Wei withdrew the troops of Langzhong, but Jiang Wei's army of more than 50,000 was liberated, Jiang Wei of course could not be idle, with Brazil County as the base, went south to attack Jiangzhou, and went west to disturb Zitong, faintly having the meaning of completely muddying the water in Shuzhong.

Jiang Wei's 50,000 troops did not have an advantage in terms of strength, whether it was against the 140,000 Zhong Hui army or the 150,000 army of the army resistance, but when the war between Wei and Wu was in full swing, Jiang Wei could play the role of a spoiler brilliantly. Jiang Wei has a deep and long plan, and has a clear understanding of the situation in Shuzhong, and now it is almost impossible to turn the tables in one fell swoop, and he doesn't want to let himself become the target of the attack between Wei and Wu.

Jiang Wei's mobile combat strategy gave Lu Kang and Zhong Hui a headache, but they flawlessly drew their forces to fight a decisive battle with Jiang Wei, and Jiang Wei has always avoided large-scale battles with them, avoiding their edges and attacking their weaknesses. (To be continued......)
