Chapter 258: The Change of Xuanchongmen (I)

PS: Genuine readers will read it in ten minutes

The arrival of Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo added a lot of confidence to Liu Yin, and Liu Yin's troops also increased from more than 500 people to more than 900 people, a combat unit with a small 1,000 people, which basically met Liu Yin's requirements, especially the 200 Yuanrong crossbows brought by Zhang Le, which were big killers in ambush operations.

Zhang Jiajun and Zhao Jiajun each made up a song, which was naturally led by Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo, and the private soldiers of the Anping Mansion and the Ma family were compiled into three songs, and five songs were one, and the troops under Liu Yin were also considered to be fully established.

Everything is ready, just wait for October to come. Liu Yin didn't want to act in a high-profile manner, after all, there were still a large number of Wei spies in Shu, and any slightest disturbance could be known to them, if Deng Ai had learned in advance that there was an army that was not in his favor and changed the route of the march, Liu Yin might be in vain.

Even if he went north, Liu Yin would claim that he was going to the Sword Pavilion to assist the defenders there, anyway, Jiang You was on the way to the Sword Pavilion, and after arriving at Jiang You, it would be too late to change the itinerary.

This may confuse those low-level Wei State spies, but the really powerful spies may have mastered Liu Yin's true movements, which undoubtedly worries Liu Yin the most.

Hopefully, the many checkpoints on the front line may hinder the transmission of information.

No matter what, Liu Yin's trip is already imperative, just waiting for the day of the dial.

The battle situation of the Sword Pavilion fell into a stalemate, and the Wei army was unable to overcome the strong attack, and gradually became tired. Hanzhong Yang'an Guan took it though. But the three key passes of Han, Le, and Gold are still in the hands of the Shu army. In addition, the Shu army still has a number of guerrilla troops in the activity, constantly harassing the rear, attacking the Wei army's transportation lines, which undoubtedly made the Wei army's logistics troops, which were already difficult to transport grain and grass because of the difficult roads. ”

This gave Zhong Hui a lot of headaches. The battle is undoubtedly the most difficult to fight, take Yang'an Pass, how much has the element of luck, if it is not for Jiang Shu's rebellion in the city, Hu Lie has no chance to take advantage of it, so far Hancheng, Lecheng, and the three major passes of gold are still under the control of the Shu army, and these three key passes are stuck on the main road of the water, so that Zhong Hui is like a thorn in the back. The cities of Hanzhong are difficult to overcome, let alone the Jianmen Pass, which is ten times more dangerous than it, and almost most of the main forces of the Shu Kingdom are gathered here. It is almost impossible to take down the Sword Pavilion in a short period of time.

When Zhong Hui was unable to use force, he moved his pen again. wrote a letter to Jiang Wei to persuade him to surrender: "The prince has the virtue of civil and military affairs, the strategy of the world, the merit of Jiba, the Han Dynasty, and the sound of China, and the name of the near and far." Every time in the past, taste the same Dahua, Wu Za, Zheng Qiao, can be good. ”

Zhong Hui's writing is good, but it's a pity that he used it in the wrong place, after Jiang Wei received the letter, he didn't even look at it, and threw it into the charcoal basin and turned into ashes.

Seeing that the cold winter is approaching, hundreds of thousands of Wei troops are crowded on the narrow valley road from Baishui to Jiange, the geographical relationship, the huge number of Wei troops can not be used at all, and the daily consumption of grain and grass by so many large armies is also extremely amazing, although it is said that for this southern expedition, the Wei side has made full preparations, and the grain and grass collected in Longxi in Guanzhong alone are enough for 180,000 troops to eat for a year. However, no matter how much grain and grass there is, there are problems in the transportation link, and it still cannot solve the dilemma of lack of grain on the front line.

Grain and grass are scarce, the morale of the army is naturally unstable, and if the army cannot be conquered for a long time, morale will inevitably be low.

Seeing that he couldn't take the Sword Pavilion, Zhong Hui was already thinking of retreating. However, this retreat is not a retreat to Guanzhong, but a retreat to Hanzhong. Hanzhong, except for the three golden cities of Hanle, has fallen into the hands of the Wei army, and Zhong Hui's return to the army this time is to solve the problem of these three cities and clear his worries. At the same time, it can also lead the snake out of the hole, now Jiang Wei is shrinking in the Sword Pavilion and does not come out, Zhong Hui has no way to take him, as long as the Wei army retreats, Jiang Wei will definitely come to pursue, in the field battle, Zhong Hui can give full play to the numerical advantage of the Wei army, and take advantage of the situation to annihilate the pursuing enemy.

If Jiang Wei continues to shrink in the Sword Pavilion and doesn't come out, it doesn't matter, as long as the Wei army eats the three points of Hanle Gold, leveling the remnants of Shu in Hanzhong, and guarding Yang'an Pass, then Shu will try to counterattack Hanzhong again.

As long as the advance base of Hanzhong is firmly in the hands of the Wei State, it is equivalent to hanging a handful on the head of the Shu State, threatening the security of the Shu State all the time, the Wei army on the one hand stationed troops in Hanzhong, on the other hand, large-scale requisition of grain into Hanzhong, at that time the soldiers are full of food, and then attack the Sword Pavilion, is it not easy?

This plan has been planned for a long time, and he has already considered every detail, and it seems that tomorrow it is time to convene the generals to discuss and announce this plan.

Taking retreat as advance is estimated to be the only effective plan that the Wei army can adopt now. Zhong Hui is confident that no one can come up with a better plan than his plan.

"Qiyu Governor, Deng Ai, the general of Zhengxi, asks to see you." The Chinese officer came in to report.

"Deng Ai? What is he here for? Zhong Hui frowned slightly and muttered, although Zhong Hui had the most soldiers and horses under his command in this attack on Shu, even more than the other two roads Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu combined, but the large number of soldiers does not mean that Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu have to obey him, and these three armies are completely independent of each other.

This kind of arrangement is completely from the hands of Sima Zhao, what kind of person Sima Zhao is, his belly is extremely black, and he puts all the military power in the hands of one person, how can he rest assured, so that the three of them share power and restrain each other, so that it is difficult to avoid accidents. How did the Sima family get the position, Sima Zhao knows very well, many people are not without ambition, but without opportunities, as long as there is an opportunity, no matter how loyal the slave is, he will show his minions.

Zhong Hui or Deng Ai, these people are all chess pieces in Sima Zhao's hands, used to attack the city and take the lead, but Sima Zhao is also on guard, these chess pieces will one day no longer want to be chess pieces and want to be chess players, since the Sima family can steal the world from the Cao family, how can they allow the second Sima family to appear.

Of course, the war is undecided, even if Zhong Hui is an ambitious person, he will not be revealed at this moment, he is now thinking more about how to compete with Deng Ai, the three-way army will conquer Shu, whoever conquers Chengdu first will be the first to make the first contribution, Zhong Hui naturally refuses to give such an opportunity to others.

"Please!" Zhong Hui dressed up and greeted him in person.

Chapter

Zhong will wait in the tent, and after a short time, Deng Ai will enter with his whole body armor and salute Zhong, which is very polite. However, Zhong Hui could see that Deng Ai's face was blue and his face was angry, but it was just not good to attack on the spot.

"Why is the general here?" Zhong Hui is polite and elegant. (To be continued......)
