Chapter 172: Sima Zhao's Determination
Since the two diversionary opponents that Sima Zhao deliberately arranged for Zhong Hui were lost due to accidents, Sima Zhao definitely couldn't sit back and watch Zhong Hui take over the power, so what defense would he have if he arranged another one?
Jia Chong immediately bowed down to receive the order.
"Gonglu, the land of the Sword Pavilion is narrow, the 150,000 horses of the Zhonghui can no longer be used, after you arrive in Hanzhong, you don't have to go to the Sword Pavilion to help in the battle, and capture Xishu, and there may not be only one way for the Sword Pavilion, from Hanzhong to the south, take the rock canal, cover the head, and swing the stone, you can point directly to Brazil, you can march according to this road."
After Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong divided by Zhang Lu, he sent Zhang He to march into Brazil, intending to outflank Chengdu from this road, but Zhang He was defeated by Zhang Fei in Brazil, lost everything, and almost wiped out the entire army.
Jia Chong said with a little doubt: "The terrain of Langzhong is dangerous, there has always been a heavy garrison of the Shu army, and its danger is by no means under the Sword Pavilion, not to mention that Brazil is remote, even if it can be conquered, it may not be able to affect the situation in Shuzhong, what does the King of Jin mean?" In Jia Chong's view, marching from the Sword Pavilion is the best way to cut down Shu, and it seems to be a little out of touch with the main battlefield to get out of Brazil.
Sima Zhao smiled slightly: "The people of Shu are weak and weak, the strength is limited, and the defense of the Sword Pavilion is already inadequate, if we open up a second front, the Shu State will definitely be overstretched, even if we can't take Langzhong, it will definitely create enough trouble for the Shu army, as long as the troops defending the Sword Pavilion can be transferred, the defeat of the Shu State will be a matter of time." ”
Jia Chong suddenly realized and immediately ordered to go down to the palace.
However, it was freezing on this day, and it was not easy to gather an army of 50,000, and Wei had already requisitioned 180,000 troops into Shu in the early stage. This time, 50,000 troops were again recruited. The mobile forces in the entire Guanluo area were completely drained. However, Si Zhao's heart to destroy Shu this time is very firm, and he will not stop paying a big price.
Jia Chong left Luoyang on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, and the Wei soldiers left the capital before they could get past the year, and they couldn't help but complain, but Jia Chong's military discipline was strict, and he punished a few officers who took the lead in being passive and sluggish, and the mental outlook of the whole team was improved, although it still had a little emotion. But it can only be slandered in the stomach.
After Jia Chong led the troops to the expedition, he felt a great responsibility and wanted to rush to Hanzhong with his wings, so he ordered the army to go the same way and not delay for a moment.
However, there is a saying that is called fast but not reached, the more anxious Jia Chong is, the more the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, after leaving Luoyang, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the snow covers the mountain. As a result, the mountain road is rugged, and the soldiers cannot enter. It was not until the end of the first month that Jia Chong was able to cross the Qinling Mountains and enter the Hanzhong Plain, and as for the attack on Brazil, it was already in February and March.

Liu Yin didn't have the heart to celebrate the holiday, although this was the first Spring Festival he experienced in the Three Kingdoms after he crossed, but Liu Yin was focused on the reorganization of the army.
The Tiger Battalion and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion and the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Army belong to the Royal Forest Army, which is the emperor's personal guard troops, and is personally led by the Wei General Zhuge Zhan, but the establishment of the Tiger Infantry Battalion and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion is slightly lower, and the chief officer is only a battalion level, led by the Tiger Bu Zhonglang General and the Tiger Cavalry Zhonglang General, and the Yulin Army is divided into two armies, respectively, led by the left and right governors of Yulin, respectively, and there are four Yulin Zhonglang generals, and the Tiger Ben Army is also led by the Ministry Governor, and there are two Tiger Ben Zhonglang generals.
This time, Liu Chan deliberately transferred the Hubu Battalion and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion from the establishment under the jurisdiction of General Wei, assigned them to the command of the new General Anxi, and merged them with Fu Yan's battalion to form a new army. Fu Yan's battalion was originally under the command of General Jiang Wei and belonged to the border soldiers, and the combination of the forbidden army and the border soldiers seemed somewhat nondescript.
But Liu Yin doesn't care, the army is the foundation of life, in the troubled times, whoever can seize the military power, who can stand in an invincible position, although the position of this Anxi general is not high, but he is directly responsible to the emperor. Wei General Zhuge Zhan and General Jiang Wei commanded the internal and external armies respectively, and even the left and right chariot cavalry generals Zhang Yi and Liao Hua did not have the qualifications to lead the army independently, and they were all under the jurisdiction of the general, but Liu Yin's Anxi General was a maverick and was directly ordered by the emperor.
Liu Chan's arrangement was somewhat unexpected by the ministers, and Liu Yin was also deeply surprised, after all, in terms of qualifications, he could not compare with those generals who had been fighting for a long time, which could only be explained by Liu Chan's importance and preference for Liu Yin.
After all, Liu Yin is the real royal family, and he has a family relationship with Liu Chan that is thicker than water, and Liu Yin's performance in the Yinping Resistance War is remarkable, Liu Chan made such an arrangement, obviously because of Liu Yin's great trust.
It is said that the queen is stupid and incompetent, and it seems that it is not necessarily the case, although he is not a generation of eloquent masters, but he is obviously not confused in major matters, Liu Yin does not know how Liu Chan in history was fooled into surrendering by Zhou Zhou, but his victory in Yinping Dao this time is indeed to suppress the arrogance of those surrender factions, this time with the support of Liu Chan, Liu Yin's reputation in Chengdu can be described as the sky.
Liu Yin naturally will not live up to this trust, and throughout the New Year, he was busy purging the army and recruiting new soldiers.
The Tiger Battalion and the Tiger Cavalry Battalion were originally stationed outside Chengdu City, responsible for the defense of the periphery of the capital, to Liu Yin's surprise, the Tiger Bu Zhonglang General turned out to be an old acquaintance, and it can also be said that Liu Yin's old boss, last year when Liu Yin was the first Yu Lin Lang, his top boss was Yu Lin Zhonglang General Gao Yuan, this time he was transferred to the Tiger Bu Zhonglang General, but became Liu Yin's subordinate.
However, Gao Yuan did not dare to be arrogant at all, Liu Yin was promoted like an arrow in this year, not only because of his special identity, but also because of his real achievements, Gao Yuan admired the five bodies in his heart, and this time he was able to be transferred to Liu Yin's subordinates, Gao Yuan even felt very glorious on his face.
The name of the tiger riding lieutenant general is Deng Pu, the son of Deng Zhi, the general of the chariot cavalry, and the younger brother of Deng Liang, the commander of the horses.
Fu Yan's battalion was crippled in the battle of Yang'an Pass, leaving only about 3,000 men and horses, after being incorporated into Liu Yin's new army, the first thing was to replenish the new soldiers, and to reach the full formation, at least 2,000 people had to be replenished.
Although Bing Cao Shangshu Zhang Zun has already said that he can give priority to replenishing troops for the new army, since the beginning of the war, the casualties of all armies on the front line have been very large, and all armies and battalions are in urgent need of replenishment of reserve soldiers.
