The reason why Jiang Wei chose to settle in Tuntian is not entirely to avoid trouble. For Jiang Wei, as long as he leaves Chengdu, as long as he has military power in his hands, it doesn't matter whether he can avoid disaster or not, no matter how long Huang Hao's hand stretches, it is impossible to reach the front line, and the heavy troops are in hand, and anyone who wants to shake the status of General Jiang is wishful thinking.

Choosing Tuntian, Jiang Wei's main purpose was to actively prepare for the Northern Expedition. After the grain is ripe this autumn, Jiang Wei is already planning a plan to go north to Didao and march to Longyou next spring.

The Northern Expedition is Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's last wish, and it is also Jiang Wei's constant pursuit in this life. For Jiang Wei, who has passed the age of the sixtieth year, there is not much time left for him, life is endless, the battle is endless, Jiang Wei has never thought of unloading his armor and returning to the field, his greatest wish in this life is to base himself in Longxi Guanzhong and plant the banner of the Han Dynasty on his hometown.

This is his obsession. Jiang Wei was in the sixth year of Jianxing Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition to Shu, he was originally the Zhonglang general of Tianshui County, the Shu army invaded Longxi, Tianshui was too guarded by Ma Zun and fled in a hurry, Jiang Wei was forced to have no choice but to surrender Shu.

The first Northern Expedition failed with the loss of Jieting, and people at that time would not believe that a descendant from Wei would be the general who would lead the army of Shu in the future. That year, Jiang Wei was twenty-six years old.

Soon after Jiang Wei returned to Shu, his mother sent a letter asking him to look for Angelica, which metaphorically asked him to return to Wei, which shows that Jiang Wei's mother was also an extremely smart person. But Jiang Wei replied: "A hundred hectares of fertile land, not one acre; But there is ambition, not in angelica. The reason why Jiang Wei replied to his mother like this was not that he was unfilial, but that Jiang Wei saw his future in Shuzhong. Although Jiang Wei is talented, he can only be an official position such as a county guard throughout his life, and in Shu, he is deeply valued by Zhuge Liang, and his political talent and ambition have the opportunity to be revealed.

In the long journey of half a century, Jiang Wei has stepped to the pinnacle of power step by step, but the unpaid ambition of the Northern Expedition has made him hard, victorious and defeated, but his persistence has never changed.

"Maybe this will be the last Northern Expedition of my life." Jiang Wei said so self-deprecatingly when he was planning the Northern Expedition next spring.

It was he who had always been concerned about the Northern Expedition, so he gathered his heavy troops in this seemingly remote place. Jiang Wei remembered the conversation between Liu Yin and him when he was in Chengdu, and he snorted softly: "How can the bird know the ambition of the bird!" ”

In Jiang Wei's opinion, a prince like Liu Yin knows how much military affairs. The biggest advantage of this plan is that it takes advantage of Hanzhong's geographical advantages to reduce the strength of Hanzhong's garrison to the minimum requirement, so as to ensure that Jiang Wei has enough troops to attack Longyou.

In fact, this is also a helpless move, if the large-scale troops are put into the defense system of Hanzhong, the troops that can be used for the Northern Expedition will be even thinner, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the Shu State has a total of such a small number of troops, and if the defense is guaranteed, the attack cannot be guaranteed, and the attack is guaranteed, and the defense will naturally have to find another way.

In fact, Jiang Wei's belief in the defensive strategy is that the best defense is to attack, using constant attacks to disrupt the enemy's offensive plan, so that the enemy is tired of defense, and naturally he is unable to launch an offensive to achieve the strategy of keeping the enemy out of the country.

From this point of view, Jiang Wei wants to be an idealist.

He was not afraid that the Wei State would launch an attack on Hanzhong, because in addition to the strong fortresses in Hanzhong, the Wei State had no strength to break through these fortresses, and he had been threatening the Longxi counties of the Wei State by stationing his own troops, and once the Wei State attacked Hanzhong, the Longxi region would be empty.

"I want to see that stupid person who dares to risk losing Longxi to attack Hanzhong?" After losing the Hanzhong defense map, Jiang Wei said disappreciatively.

However, Jiang Wei still ignored Sima Zhao's determination, and after half a century of fighting, Sima Zhao had already made up his mind to annex Shu, and he gathered nearly half of the Wei troops, and completed his efforts in one battle, and attacked Shu in a big way.

The intelligence of Guanzhong was quickly sent to Jiang Wei's hands in Shuzhong, and in addition to the Lieutenant's Mansion, the intelligence system of Shu also had another set of intelligence agencies in the military, which could ensure that Jiang Wei could grasp the movements of the Wei ** team at the first time.

Although Jiang Wei grasped the news of Zhonghui's attack on Hanzhong from the meridian, Xiegu, and Chencang at the first time, he did not immediately send troops to reinforce Hanzhong. At the same time, he was too confident in his plan to gather troops in the valley, and even reached a kind of blind point.

Jiang Wei flew six hundred miles to Liu Chan in Chengdu. Jiang Wei asked Liu Chan to order Zhang Yi and Liao Hua, the generals of the left and right chariots, to lead troops to garrison Yinping Qiaotou and reinforce Yang'an Pass respectively, these two places are the most important, and Jiang Wei also knows very well that once these two places are lost, Hanzhong will be in danger.

But Jiang Wei does not intend to use his troops in the army, the troops in the army are ready to be used for the Northern Expedition, Jiang Wei seems to have felt that this may be a good opportunity for the Northern Expedition of Shu, once Zhong Hui's 100,000 troops fall into Hanzhong and cannot be mobilized, and he will send troops to Di Dao, the entire Longxi will be at his fingertips, and at that time, the offensive and defensive situation will change, and the situation of the whole world may change greatly.

But many things are not wishful thinking, Jiang Wei can think of a counterattack, Zhong Hui may not think that at the same time as the main force of the army attacked Hanzhong, Deng Ai's army of 30,000 also quietly crossed the Qinling Mountains and attacked Yuzhong.

Deng Aibing was divided into four routes, sending Tianshui Taishou Wang Qi to lead 5,000 troops, outflanking Yuzhong from the left road, sending Longxi Taishou Guo Jiaohong to lead 5,000 troops, outflanking Yuzhong from the right road, and sending Jincheng Taishou Yang Xin to lead 5,000 troops, sneak attack Gansong, cut off Jiang Wei's back road, and lead 15,000 troops himself, march from Di Dao, and take Zhongzhong.

Deng Ai and Jiang Wei have been fighting for many years, knowing himself and the enemy, he also knows that his 30,000 troops can't eat Jiang Wei's 50,000 army no matter what, this time to cut Shu, Zhong Hui led the army of 120,000 to attack Hanzhong, that is Sima Zhao named him to pick up the beam, to Deng Ai, is a partial division, used to trip Jiang Wei, not let him rescue Hanzhong, this time Deng Ai soldiers out of the four roads, it is the four exits in the stuck block, Jiang Wei blocked in the block, and when the overall situation in Hanzhong has been decided, Jiang Wei has become a rootless tree and no source of water in the block, and he will be defeated without a fight.
