Chapter 279: Continue to tear up

Huo Yi has guarded Nanzhong for many years, and he is known for his prestige, and everyone is afraid of him. Huo Yi was transferred to Yongchang Taishou during the Yanxi period, and the local Yi tribe's heroic commander rebelled, and Huo Yi attacked him with a surprise army, beheaded his heroic commander in one fell swoop, and quelled the rebellion. Therefore, Huo Yi's prestige in Nanzhong is fought by real swords and guns, although Huo Yi only commands 40,000 horses, but none of the southwestern barbarians with 100,000 troops dare to act rashly.

With Huo Yi's deterrence, Liu Chan's pacification policy was implemented quite smoothly, and the leaders of the tribes accepted the knighthood of the imperial court, and they all settled down.

However, the surrender of Zhuyi was undoubtedly a favorable thing for the Shu Han Dynasty in an eventful season.

Although he left Shuzhong, Liu Yin paid unusual attention to the situation in Shuzhong. In order to grasp the intelligence in Shuzhong in a timely manner, Liu Yin asked the people of the Lieutenant's Mansion to provide a report every three days, and in case of major information, it must be reported on the same day.

The Lieutenant's Mansion has its own intelligence system, although the people of Shu have all moved south, but the intelligence agencies of the Lieutenant's Mansion have never stopped running, every three days of routine reporting, the personnel of the Lieutenant's Mansion who stay in Shu will sort out and analyze the collected information, and send it to Nanzhong with a fast horse, if a special major event occurs, the intelligence will be sent overnight to ensure its timeliness.

Although Shudi and Nanzhong are separated by two thousand miles, the special intelligence transmission system of the Lieutenant's Mansion can still guarantee that it will be delivered to Weicheng within three days, so Liu Yin has always been well aware of the situation in Shuzhong.

Everything did not surprise Liu Yin, on the ruins of Chengdu, Wei and Wu launched a new round of tearing war.

Lu Kang, the commander of the Wu army who took the initiative to launch a provocation this time, may have felt that the Wu army's combat ability in the plains was weaker than that of the Wei army. Perhaps it was Lu Kang who thought that Pang Hui would lead his troops south to pursue and give the Wu army an opportunity, but in short, Lu Kang decided to adopt a preemptive strike mode and launched an attack on the Xiahou Xian Department of the Wei army stationed at Qinglongba.

Zhong Hui naturally couldn't ignore it, and just when Liu Yin set up an ambush on Tiedeng Mountain to annihilate Pang Hui, the battle between Wei and Wu for the ruins of Chengdu kicked off in an all-round way.

The fighting between the two sides in Chengdu lasted for a month. There were many casualties, and the fight was exhausted. The battle of Chengdu spread, and the garrisons of the two sides in Fucheng and Luocheng were also involved in the melee one after another, and a full-scale confrontation was launched on the land of Shuzhong.

The war has reached this level, no one is willing to take half a step back, if you win, you will occupy Shu, and if you lose, you will gain nothing, obviously Zhong Hui and Lu Kang are not willing to lose their troops and return to the capital empty-handed. Even if you try your best, you have to fight it out.

As for the negotiation of peace, the two sides divided Shu land equally, it was a complete joke, Zhong Hui and Lu Kang were both aiming to win the entire Yizhou, and half of Yizhou was meaningless to the two.

Wei annexed Yizhou. It is equivalent to opening the west gate of Wu and embracing the danger of the Yangtze River. Lay a good foundation for the next step of dominating the world. Wu Guoquan takes Yizhou, and he can realize Zhuge Liang's grand blueprint - no, it is more magnificent than Zhuge Liang's blueprint, what Zhuge Liang hopes for is to cross Jingyi, once the world changes, two ways to send troops. All the way out of Guanlong in the north, all the way out of Jingxiang in the east, the world can be determined. And Wu won Yizhou, which undoubtedly firmly occupied half of the country, which was grander than Zhuge Liang's idea. Not only can you go out of Jingyi in two ways, but you can also go out of Huainan in three ways, and win the Central Plains, just around the corner.

Therefore, as far as both sides are concerned, they are all seeking skin with the tiger, and Zhong Hui and Lu Kang can be regarded as ambitious people, and they will not give up until they take the entire Yizhou.

The great battle in Shuzhong was not only a contest of the wisdom of the main general, the morale of the army, but also a lot of contests, including logistics, and the protracted delay of the war was a severe test for the fragile and long logistical supply lines of both sides.

The supply line of the Wei army was longer than that of the Wu army, starting from Guanzhong in the north, entering Hanzhong from the meridian road or ramp, and then entering Shuzhong through Yang'an Pass and Jiange, and after entering Shuzhong, it was necessary to detour through the Wenshan Road in order to transport the grain and grass to Chengdu, and the entire logistics supply line stretched for thousands of miles. In ancient times, it was known that grain was not transported for thousands of miles, and the Wei State was also profound, and it sent a steady stream of grain, grass and military supplies to the front line in Chengdu at all costs.

Although the supply line of the Wei army is long, because it is located between the mountains and mountains, and it is a large rear, there is no need to worry about the Wu army going to rob the road to block it, and Zhong Hui has no worries for the time being.

However, Zhong Hui was interested in the logistics and transportation lines of the Wu army, and he sent Tian Xu to make a detour to conquer Yu County, intending to take Guanghan and Deyang in the east and cut off the Wu army's waterway transportation channel on the Fushui River. Although the Wei army did not have a naval army comparable to the Wu army, Zhong Hui believed that the Fushui was not too wide, and as long as the Wei army could control both sides of the Fushui, it could achieve the goal of cutting off the Wu army's waterway transportation.

From this point of view, Zhong Hui's thoughts coincided with what Liu Yin thought at the beginning, but it was only because of Huang Hao's back leg that the Shu army lost the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

At present, the waterway transportation channel of Fushui supports the entire grain transportation channel of the Wu army, once it is lost, not only the defenders of Fucheng will have no food, but even the main force of the Wu army participating in the battle of Chengdu will also fall into a desperate situation. The Wei army conquered Yun County, which made Lu Kang really feel threatened.

What's more, the battle of Chengdu lasted for a month, the Wu army showed its disadvantages in the infantry and cavalry operations, the war dragged on, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to the Wu army, defeating Zhonghui in Chengdu, and the plan to take Shudu finally failed, in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, Lu Kang had to lead the army to retreat, and the troops were divided into two roads, all the way north to Luocheng, all the way to the east to Guanghan, and gave up the battle for Chengdu.

However, although the Wu army failed to take Chengdu, but in the confrontation in Luocheng, it fought a street battle for more than a month, expelled the Wei army from Luocheng, and reversed the situation that Wu and Wei both sides accounted for half of the city in Luocheng in one fell swoop, and at the same time formed a three-point and one-line defense system of Fucheng, Mianzhu and Luocheng, firmly controlling this section in the middle of Chenghan Avenue, threatening Jiange to the north, and looking at Chengdu to the south, so that Zhong Hui was like a stab in the throat.

Now although Zhonghui monopolizes Chengdu, but it is just a ruin, only symbolic meaning, the grain road bypasses Wenshan, twists and turns, supply difficulties, so that Zhonghui is miserable, only by opening up the Chenghan Avenue, it is possible to make the grain road unblocked, and create conditions for further control of the entire Yizhou.
