In the past two years, the situation in Shuzhong can be described as a staggered dog's tooth, with constant scuffles between the three parties, you have me, I have you, attacking each other, and entangled. Many cities, are several times changed hands, today surnamed Wei, tomorrow surname Shu, the day after tomorrow may be surnamed Wu, the fertile field of thousands of miles of Shuzhong Plain because of the war, completely reduced to thousands of miles of red land, chickens and dogs smell bad, white bones in the wild, originally at this moment is the busy season of spring, but the field is a barren, except for the wild grass wantonly spread and breed, can not see any seedlings.

The war is fought in the comprehensive national strength, Wei has a deep background in this regard, in the battle with Eastern Wu, it seems to have the upper hand, successively conquered the city and Mianzhu, and advanced to the southeast, into Jiangzhou, there is a great tendency to directly copy the land to resist the rear road.

But although Wu is defeated and retreated, but has always firmly held the important town of Fucheng in northern Sichuan, which makes Zhonghui always have a feeling of stabbing in the throat, Fucheng is one of the most important passes on the Chenghan Avenue, the Wei army can not capture Fucheng, all the grain and grass materials must be detoured to Wenshan Road to reach the vicinity of Chengdu, time-consuming and laborious, this bottleneck has also been restricting the development of Zhonghui in Shuzhong, so that the ambitious Zhonghui always has a feeling of nowhere to exert force.

In order to open up the Chenghan Avenue, Zhong Hui has been sparing no effort to launch an attack on Fucheng, but the terrain of Fucheng is extremely dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Fucheng is close to Fushui, and the Wei army can not cut off the water transportation of the Wu army, so that the Wu army's troops and materials can be continuously replenished to Fucheng.

This made Zhong Hui have a headache all the time, and Fucheng was like a fish bone stuck in Zhong Hui's throat, unable to spit it out or swallow, very uncomfortable.

The news of Liu Yin's sneak attack on Longxi last year came to Zhong Hui, although in the eyes of many. Liu Yin's actions are the cause of ringworm scabies, but Zhong Hui knows that no matter how small the patient is, it is also a disease, and it is no wonder that Zhong will be so sensitive, after all, the land of Guanlong is the logistics supply base of Zhong Hui's army, once it is lost. It is estimated that these more than 100,000 horses will have to drink the northwest wind.

When Zhong Hui immediately sent a letter to Sima Zhao, asking Sima Zhao to allow him to send troops back to help Guan Long, but Sima Zhao seemed to disagree, and replied to Zhong Hui that he would just let him fight the battle of Shuzhong, and he didn't have to worry about Guan Long's affairs.

Zhong Hui heard that it was Sima Wang who led the expedition to Yongliang, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, Sima Wang was a general, whether it was fame, qualifications or experience level, he was not under his Zhong Hui. With this veteran general sitting in Guanzhong, Liu Yin must not be able to set off much of a storm.

However, the development of the situation in Guanlong was still unexpected by Zhonghui, and the defeat of Jieting completely extinguished the hope of Wei counterattacking Longxi, and the subsequent battle of Wuzhangyuan and the loss of Chencang made the situation in Guanlong out of control.

Due to the distance of the road blocking Guanshan, by the time Zhonghui got the news from the front line in Guanlong, it was already half a month later, and the "news" had already become "old news". And the situation in Guanlong is changing day by day, and it is often that Zhong Hui has just heard of the defeat of Jieting. Chen Cang had already lost over there, and when he knew the news of Chen Cang's loss, Liu Yin's army had already arrived in Chang'an City.

The rapid collapse of the situation in Guanlong made Zhonghui feel that he was caught off guard, and the rushing advance of the Shu army in Guanlong had seriously threatened the supply lines of Zhonghui's army, and once the grain route was cut off, Zhonghui's entire army would be cut off from food and grass. Caught in a desperate situation.

The central Shu region has been plagued by wars for many years, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the fields are barren, so it is impossible to eat the enemy, otherwise the Wei State will not be transported thousands of miles from Guanzhong. It cost five or six times as much to transport grain. Guanzhong is only tied to the fate of the entire Wei army entering Shu, and it is no wonder that the news of Guanlong came, and the Wei army was panicked, and many generals suggested that Zhonghui immediately send troops back to Guanzhong to ensure the smooth flow of this lifeline.

Zhong Hui hesitated, one of the reasons is that Sima Zhao's order is very clear, do not let him meddle in the affairs of Guanzhong, although the situation in Guanzhong has changed greatly, but before obtaining Sima Zhao's order to march, Zhong Hui did not dare to easily mobilize troops and horses. Zhong Hui knows Sima Zhao's character very well, he is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, he is suspicious, and he does not have the mind to use people without doubt, if he easily touches Sima Zhao's bottom line, it is likely to be killed.

The second is that Zhong Hui still has illusions about Sima Wang, thinking that the situation in Guanzhong is not yet unbearable to the point of being out of control, and Zhong Hui is still very relieved about Chang'an City, such a strong city, even if the Shu army does its best, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack it in a year and a half. As long as Chang'an can be defended, the grain route to Yizhou will be worry-free for the time being.

The third and most important point is that even if you return to help Guanzhong, you have to plan and then act, at least grasp the current military situation in Guanzhong, and make corresponding strategic arrangements. At this moment, the information transmitted back from Guanzhong is changing day by day, and Zhong Hui cannot accurately grasp the current movements of the Shu army, and blindly marching can only lead to failure.

Therefore, although the situation in Guanzhong deteriorated for a while, Zhong Hui still waited and watched the changes, wanting to wait and see, but Zhong Hui's fantasy was still shattered by reality - Liu Yin not only took Chang'an in the shortest possible time, but also killed Hanzhong, unexpectedly defeated the Wei army besieging Gold, and relieved the siege of Gold.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yin was even more frantic, and successively relieved the siege of Lecheng and Hancheng, Hanzhong Taishou Li Fujie retreated, and has now retreated to Yang'an Pass, and the urgent paperwork flew like snowflakes to the hands of Zhong Hui who was in Mianzhu at the moment.

To tell the truth, Zhong Hui really has a feeling of confusion, the evolution of the current situation has been far beyond his imagination, it stands to reason that Sima Wang is also a long-famous general, in the talented Cao Wei army, it is also a top existence, the reason why he was appointed as the governor of Yongliang, presumably Sima Zhao also values his ability rather than clan relations.

But it was such a battle-hardened veteran who was defeated in the hands of a little-known Shu general Liu Yin. According to the information in his hands, Liu Yinnai is the son of Liu Li, the king of Anping, the son of Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, a pampered member of the royal family, who has never had a record of serving in the army before. Deng Ai was defeated in his hands in Yinping Dao, because of the geographical relationship, and the land of Guanlong was the base camp of Wei, whether it was the right time and place, and everyone was on the side of Wei, but Sima Wang was defeated, and it was a complete defeat, which made Zhong Hui emotionally difficult to accept.
