Chapter 680: Chicken Ribs

PS: A little correction or so, please read it later for genuine readers, please bear with me for the inconvenience...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... The army is entangled, and the other two armies may rush to reinforce at any time, and once they are surrounded by the three-way army, it is absolutely impossible to escape defeat.

The strategy implemented by Lu Kang was to fight a quick battle, each battle did not exceed one or two hours, and it was only a heavy blow to the Jin army, ignoring the fleeing enemy at all, and not giving the Jin army any chance to besiege on three roads.

Chen Qian is not a mediocre talent, and when he saw Lu Kang even playing a clever hand on the battlefield, he immediately counterattacked, led the army to cross the Huai River, and approached Yiyang.

Responsible for guarding the Huai River defense line is Wu General Zuo Yi, Lu Kang left with the main force, Wu soldiers on the Huai River defense line are naturally not many people, when the Jin army crossed the river, invested a large number of troops, built several pontoon bridges on the Huai River, and killed the mighty one. And the all-out attack on the Jin army, Zuo Yi fought fiercely for a long time, and finally because he was outnumbered, he could not resist the enemy, so he could only lead the army back.

Chen Qian was preparing to cross the river and launch a full-scale attack on Yiyang, when Lu Kang, who acted quickly, actually killed back at this time, and attacked half-crossing, so Chen Qian was defeated, and many Jin troops who had landed on the south bank and did not return in time were slaughtered.

Chen Qian led the army to retreat to the north bank, counting the troops and horses, and lost at least more than 30% of the men and horses.

When the news of Yiyang's defeat reached the Luoyang Palace, Sima Yan's face turned pale and exclaimed: "Lu Kang is brave, who can stop him?" ”

At the same time as the news of the defeat of Yiyang came, the three roads of the Jin army's attack on Guanzhong suffered a setback, and four defeats in a row shook the Jin government and the opposition.

Now that Yanghu is defeated, Du is defeated, Hu Fen is defeated, and even the veteran Chen Qian is defeated.

Just when all the ministers were silent, Shangshu Yang Ji came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers will raise one person, or they can resist on land." ”

Chapter 680

Sima Yan's spirit was greatly shocked, and said, "Who is Aiqing promoting?" ”

Yang Ji said: "Zhenxi General Zhonghui." ”

"Zhonghui?" Sima Yan obviously didn't expect that the person Yang Ji was protecting was actually Zhong Hui, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Yang Jidao: "Your Majesty, Zhong Zhenxi has fought with Lu Kang in Shu for three years, and he knows Lu Kang very well, and he knows himself and his opponent so that he can survive a hundred battles. ”

Sima Yan nodded, he agreed, after all, Zhong Hui and Lu Kang have been dealing with Lu Kang for several years, and have a deep understanding of Lu Kang, and more importantly, Zhong Hui is at war with Lu Kang, and he is not at a disadvantage, which is very important, at least he thinks that Zhong Hui's ability is only above Lu Kang, not under Lu Kang, but Zhong Hui is still in Yizhou at the moment, and it is difficult to quench his thirst from far water.

"Well, Yang Aiqing is reasonable, when he is a general, I am afraid that only Zhong Hui can withstand Lu Kang, but Zhong Hui is still in Yizhou at the moment, how can he save the emergency?"

Yang Ji said: "Your Majesty, now that the war situation is changing, it is no longer comparable to three or four years ago, and now the north and south lines of our army are tight at the same time, and it is no longer meaningful to hold a county in Yizhou at this time, it is better to transfer the 100,000 elite soldiers led by Zhong Hui out of Shudi, so as to solve the land resistance on the southern front, and secondly, to threaten Liu Yin on the northern front, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone, I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”

Sima Yan also fell into contemplation, indeed, the situation in the world is unpredictable now, and there is a world of difference from when Shu was first cut down three or four years ago, not to mention, Zhong Hui's income in Shu is also limited, so far, he has only grabbed the territory of Yizhou east of Fushui, accounting for about one-third of the territory of Yizhou.

Zhong Hui, who had high hopes from Sima Zhao, was not able to destroy Shu in the end, and in the confrontation with the Wu army of Shu, he did not gain the upper hand, and so far, he has only grabbed the territory east of Fushui in Yizhou.

However, if you give up Yizhou, it is Sima Yan's psychological unbearable, in the past few years, in order to snatch Yizhou and destroy Shu, Wei and Jin have invested a lot of strength, and the army alone has lost sixty or seventy thousand, and the money, food, and materials consumed are even more incalculable.

But the situation is changing, Yizhou is no longer urgent, at this moment, if Zhonghui's army is still stationed in Sichuan, there is really no much significance, if you want to solve the land resistance on the southern front, Liu Yin on the western front, and withdraw the troops of Yizhou back to the Central Plains is undoubtedly the best choice.

Sima Yan was silent for a moment and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" ”

The ministers were also silent, because they didn't know what Sima Yan thought, so no one spoke for a while, but Jia Chong said: "The ministers also think that Yizhou is a chicken rib at this time, if you can return to the army as soon as possible, you can determine the overall situation of the Central Plains." ”

"Chicken ribs?" Sima Yan was stunned at first, and then the corners of his mouth also flashed a wry smile, and he muttered to himself in a low voice: "The food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

After sighing for a while, Sima Yan finally drafted an edict and sent it to Langzhong on a fast horse with an expedited speed of six hundred miles.

Compared with the war in the Central Plains, after several years of fierce battles, there was a rare calm state in the land of Shuzhong, the three kingdoms in the Shu army were clearly divided, each of them mainly defended, in recent months, in addition to sporadic small-scale conflicts, it is difficult to see the scene of large-scale military confrontation.

Will Chung be happy with this situation?

The answer, of course, is no. Since the invasion of Shu, the army led by Zhong Hui has played a triumphant song all the way and laid down a lot of cities in Shuzhong, but what makes Zhong Hui depressed is that due to the lack of strength in the rear of Guanzhong, Liu Yin's sneak attack was successful, and the battle captured Yongliang, and also cut off Zhong Hui's way back.

Just when all of them think (to be continued.) )
