Shu Chen

Chapter 455
Deng Zhong did not enter Gaoping City.

On the way, when he was still young, he was taken away by several followers and left the ranks of messengers, changed into Li Shu's costume, and headed for Shangjun of Bingzhou.

He didn't protest or protest.

When Gein's retinue gave him the good clothes he had prepared long ago, he also sent a letter with only a few numbers from Deng Ai, which said: "If I win, you will return; For the rest of my life."

Yes, putting all his eggs in one basket is indeed arranging a way out for Deng Ai.

Because not only did he feel that there was no chance of winning the field battle with the Han army if he gave up his geographical advantage, he was not even half sure whether Hu Zun would do what he wanted and send troops to attack the fortress of Yuyin.

No way, Hu Zun has always been known for his prudence in using soldiers.

And for the sake of a chance, the strategy of driving troops to attack the Fortress of Yuyin is really too risky.

Hu Zun, who had a smooth official career, was not forced to a dead end, so why put himself in danger?
In fact, after Hu Zun read Deng Ai's letter, the hand holding the handle of the ring head was tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened, and repeated many times before he suppressed the call for someone to pull the messenger out to chop the head. anger.

"Take it down, it's good to watch."

After a while, he waved his hand violently.

"promise."

When Qu Du of the Guard Department left according to his words, and when Hu Zun was the only one left in the huge hall, he could no longer restrain his emotions, and drew out the ring head knife to cut the case into several paragraphs.

If it is said that Deng Ai had the faint intention of instructing him to act in the letter before, then this time he is blatantly treating him as a general!
Of course, he didn't have to cooperate with Deng Ai's battle plan.

The strategic significance of Gaoping City to Guanzhong is no less than that of Shuyin Fortress to Nishu.

He is responsible for guarding, and not being able to leave his post without authorization is the best reason for refusal, and no one has anything to criticize.

But if he doesn't cooperate, he will fall into the endless discussions of others in the future.

Deng Ai not only sent messengers to Gaoping City, but also sent a wave to Guanzhong!

In other words, it is impossible for the world to know about this matter.

What's even more annoying is that no matter whether he deserves to cooperate or not, this scumbag will ride out of the line of defense and go to Laowei County to die.

That's right, to die!
Without too much deduction, Hu Zun, who had been in the army for a long time, knew that Deng Ai had no chance of winning, not even half a chance!

Hu Zun didn't care about Deng Ai's life or death, nor did he care about the Baqian Buqi who was about to die.

But these people died in the battle and he did not send troops. After this battle, others will express such emotion: "It is time, if General Pingxi drives his troops, it may be possible for our country to restore the fortress of Yuyin."

Maybe, maybe, should.
The ambiguous deduction has given the world countless room for reverie and debate.

And Deng Ai, the instigator, is dead, and his absence from the army will be regarded as a gossip by the world, and his reputation will end with mixed results.

Even Qing Shi will spare no effort to leave ink, so that he will be debated endlessly after thousands of years!

But if troops are sent, he will become Deng Ai's stepping stone again.

Because he successfully captured the fortress of Yuyin, the government and the public in Wei State would praise Deng Ai for not thinking about life and death for creating an opportunity, rather than praise his contribution; but if he failed, Deng Ai would die, and so would he. Criticism will be ushered in--death is the most important thing, you can criticize the living, but who will criticize a dead person!
In this way, how can Hu Zun not be angry in his heart!
He has never had any grudges with others, and he always upholds the concept of harmony but difference in dealing with people and things.

Unexpectedly, Deng Ai, who had no grievances or enmities with him, pushed him to the forefront of the storm and blocked any escape route for his own official career at the cost of his wealth and life!
"My husband, my mother and maidservant!"

Hu Zun, who hacked the case into a mess, cursed angrily.

Naturally, things have come to this point, and anger will not solve the problem.

After a while, Hu Zun, who had vented his emotions, called out his subordinates to come in to clean up the mess, and began to write a letter to Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang.

He finally decided to send troops.

Without him, counting the time, even if Sima Yi wanted to stop him, when he sent a messenger from Guanzhong to Mingsha Mountain, that scumbag Deng Ai had already sent his troops to die.
Based on his understanding of Sima Yi, he would definitely send troops to support him.

Without him, it is better to have a chance than to miss it.

Therefore, rather than being urged to go there at that time, he might as well record the plan of how to send troops to deal with it in a book, and pass it on to Sima Yi for review.

In other words, he, who was not optimistic about this sneak attack, wanted to find a way out for himself first.

First, he first wrote a letter to inform Sima Yi that he needed to enlist the Qianghu tribes in Linjing and Pengyang counties in Anding County to go north in the name of the government.In case he failed to lead his troops to capture the fortress of Yuyin or was found out by the Zhao Guang tribe of Nishu and cut off his way back, there are still these Qianghu tribes who can take his troops back from Kushui River Valley.

Secondly, as the guard, before leaving the station, he naturally had to report everything inside and outside Gaoping City.

Today, there are nearly [-] soldiers stationed in Gaoping City.

But not all of them were huddled in the city, but about [-] soldiers were separated to station in the siege along the banks of the Wushui River and in the valleys and passes.And if he drove his troops to the fortress of Yuyin, he would have to bring at least [-] soldiers to have a chance to seize the fortress.Therefore, he asked Sima Yi to make his own decision on how to send troops to help defend the city without alarming Ni Shu.

Although he thinks this possibility is unlikely, he should be prepared.

Thirdly, it is about the intelligence collected by Gaoping City about Longyou since Bapu rushed to Hexi to take up his post.

This is nothing to report.

Gein Ni Shu has been doing nothing unusual in recent days, there is no sign of mobilization of troops in various places, all counties and counties are busy farming and planting grain, and even Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Liang returned to Hanzhong County in late spring and March to supervise It's spring plowing.

In short, Nishu and Longyou are just like Guanzhong in the Wei state. They regard the upcoming Helan Mountain battle as a local war, and there is no sign of responding or starting the national war again.

Finally, it is to analyze the probability that he will not be discovered by Ni Shu if he sends troops.

The Wushui River Valley has always been a battleground for scouts from both sides, but since Jiangdong Yin attacked Hefei New City successfully, there were fewer scouts sent by General Zhao Guang to guard against Shu.

Well understood.

Ni Shu predicted that in the next few years, it is impossible for Wei Guo to send troops to Longyou, so there is no need to let the scouts get tired.

This is also Hu Zun's opportunity.

He planned to "break the whole into parts" and travel day and night to the fortress of Yuyin with light clothes.

The Wushui River Valley is too long, no matter how careful you are, it will be difficult to hide the traces of the march.

Therefore, he divided his soldiers and horses into groups of three to five hundred and headed north. Even if the Nishu scouts noticed a group, they felt that this number would not affect the Helan Mountain battle and did not take it seriously.

However, what he didn't know was that the Han army still wished that he could go north earlier.
