Shu Chen

Chapter 462
Sima Yi, governor of Wei Yongliang, is now in Linjing County, Anding County.

After getting the letter from Deng Ai and Hu Zun, he agreed to Hu Zun's intention to send troops, and personally brought the funds to Laijing to show his sincerity to the Qiang and Hu tribes.

The Qiang and Hu with little literature and etiquette are all greedy for profit.

Hu Zun could use his family's century-old reputation to convince them that they were willing to send troops to the north to support them, but the state of Wei must give a certain reward, otherwise these Qiang and Hu tribes would be alienated from the state of Wei in the future.

The vassal relationship is the implementation of the detention policy.

With the lessons learned from the Qiang rebellion in the northwest that lasted for more than a hundred years, he did not want to usher in the rebellion of the Qiang and Hu tribes when the Han and Wei dynasties were fighting for the front.

When the autumn harvest is approaching, come out to inspect the farms and mulberry fields.

Naturally, he also paid close attention to the war, because he was not optimistic about Deng Ai's so-called "the fortress of Shuyin can be seized while it is empty".

The reason is simple.

How could Bapu, who had repeatedly defeated the Wei army and was feared by the former great Sima Cao Zhen as "my Wei's great trouble", fight Liangzhou, put the city of Shuyin in danger?
There must be fraud!
Although Sima Yi admired Deng Ai's talent very much, he didn't think Deng Ai could stand side by side with Scar Pu.

However, it was too late for him to stop Deng Ai from making his own decision.

Therefore, in desperation, Hu Zun had to lead the troops north to see if there was a glimmer of hope.

If not, it can also coerce the fortress of Yuyin to open up the eyes of Deng Ai's tribe, so that the other tribe can reduce the loss of soldiers and continue to contain the troops against Shu in Helan Mountain.

In any case, Deng Ai is the most competent among the Yongliang ministries based on the theory of garrisoning the land and self-defense.

But what he didn't expect was that not long after Hu Zuncai led the army to the north, the military situation in Gaoping City came first!

The person who came was General Wang Qi.

Wang Qi, courtesy name Kong Shuo, was born in Donglai, Qingzhou.

In the previous battle to destroy the Gongsun family in Liaodong, the supervisor stayed in Xiangping, and then set up an ambush with the partial general Zhang Hu to destroy the Wu Kou fleet and plunder the Liaodong fleet.After that, he was transferred to Guanzhong to serve in Guanzhong after assisting Xia Houxian and Qianhong to form Wuhuan Tuqi.

He was also one of the generals who Sima Yi sent two troops to Gaoping City to assist in the defense after Hu Zun went north.

Therefore, when Sima Yi heard that it was he who had come to see him in person, he was shocked immediately, and a bad premonition quietly arose in his heart.

When people were ushered in, the travel-worn Wang Qi immediately bowed his head and pleaded guilty.

He said, "I report to the governor, before the generals led the army to Gaoping, the city had already been taken by Nishu. The last general was rewarded, so he abandoned all his luggage and rushed to seize the city again. , Send cavalry soldiers to patrol the west bank of Wushui day and night. The last general is too few and incompetent to cross, so I ask the governor to make a decision."

Although he had a vague understanding of the safety of Gaoping City, Sima Yi still couldn't believe it.

There is no sign of dispatching the ministries of Nishu and Longyou!
Gaoping, known as the "first city" since the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, was guarded by thousands of soldiers and had countless supplies of food and fodder. How could it be attacked by Ni Shu without any warning!

In particular, the city changed hands so quickly that even the soldiers and horses he sent for reinforcements had no time to cross the black water!
Sima Yi couldn't understand, but Wang Qi came here in person, so he couldn't believe it.

He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and asked in an urgent voice, "Kong Shuo got up to speak, how did Bi Shu take the city?!"

"promise."

Wang Qi didn't dare to be negligent, so he got up quickly and said according to his words, "The general also couldn't believe this, so he found the soldiers who fled back to the east bank from the siege outside Gaoping City and asked them. Panshan sneaked into the city at night with ropes from the remaining veins. There were only [-] guards in the city, and about [-] soldiers from Nishu came to steal the city. Our army was outnumbered and fought in a hurry, so the city changed hands overnight."

Climb over Liupan Mountain? !

Ni Shu actually climbed the towering Liupan Mountain, which can be called a cliff?
How can people guard against such a method of fighting against Shu?
It was as if Sima Yi's spine had been pulled out, causing his body, which was sitting upright, to bend deeply, with an extremely sluggish expression.

I can also feel Cao Zhen's despair when he heard that the fortress of Yuyin was lost.

And he also thought of more.

For example, Deng Ai's tribe, who rode all [-] steps to create opportunities for Hu Zun, must be in danger now, and even Hu Zun's tribe who went north to support them may not escape.Let me ask, this time the sword dance against Shu was aimed at Gaoping City. How could it be possible not to make preparations in advance to ambush Deng Ai and Hu Zun?
However, now is not the time to be sentimental about these things.

"Get your horse ready!"

He got up abruptly, and loudly ordered his followers, "Follow me to Gaoping City!"

Yes, he wanted to take back the city before Nishu occupied Gaoping City.

Although the hope is very slim, but there must be a try.

On the way to gallop away, he kept asking his subordinates to deliver orders to various ministries in Yongliang.

For example, Guanqiujian who was in Chang'an immediately urged the counties and counties in Guanzhong to rush to mow the wheat in the field this year, and make preparations for the big war, and don't forget to strictly guard the military situation of Ziwu Valley and other Qinling valley roads; Supervising the Chinese army traveled westward day and night.

For example, let Guo Huai, who is guarding Chencangcheng, immediately send his deputy general Wang Shengdu to lead his [-] elite troops to Anding County; and Xu Gai, who recruited cavalry in Beidi County, will come to Wu immediately no matter how the cavalry is performing martial arts. water valley.

In addition, the prefect of Anding led the officials to collect the materials for building the pontoon bridge and transfer them to Wushui for the army to cross Wushui.

One order after another was sent out, and the whole Guanzhong Sanfu began to become full of enthusiasm.

But it was too late.

When he galloped all the way along the Jingshui River Valley and had not yet reached Chaona County, the general of the garrison in Chaona County sent a messenger to report, claiming that Wu Ban's flag had appeared at the head of Xiaoguan City.And when he arrived at Chaona County, Wei Yan's general flag was already flying against the wind on the city wall.At this time, Wang Sheng's department, who was ordered to come from Chencang City, was also the nearest garrison to Gaoping City, and had not yet marched to the court.
In other words, he was strangled to death by the Han army even if he had the chance to recapture Gaoping City.

Unless, he dared to wager the whole of Youfufeng against the Han army.

Yes, the whole Fufeng right.

If he insisted on attacking Gaoping City, Zhao Guang's cavalry alone would not be able to prevent Wei Jun from forcibly crossing Wushui.

But if he did this, Wei Yan would definitely send troops to besiege Chaona County and cut off their retreat; the prime minister in Hanzhong County would also lead the army out of Dasan Pass to trap Chencang; or go out of Baoxie Valley and out of Wuzhangyuan to attack Mei County , Let Chang'an and Youfufeng be completely cut off, so that the Wei army who is heading west to Gaoping cannot even transfer food and fodder!

Yes, Nishu would never go to rescue Gaoping City, but chose to take advantage of the Wei army's large-scale westward attack to attack Guanzhong!
Without him, pull and mobilize the whole body.

Just like he let Xia Houru besiege the city of Yuyin with a large army in the past, now the Shu army has taken the lead!
