Shu Chen

Chapter 528 Northward
The deployment of the prime minister is very simple.

One is to leave a small number of soldiers to guard Chencang City and monitor the Guohuai tribe who retreated into the inner city.

You don't need too much, four thousand is enough.

Because Sima Yi could not have the opportunity to attack Chencang City, and the defeated Guohuai tribe did not have the strength to break through the encirclement—the Han army that had already begun to dig ditches to trap the inner city only needed to leave [-] crossbowmen in each direction , so that he has no chance to leave the inner city!

Second, choose the battlefield in advance.

For example, before Sima Yi learned the news, let Wei Yan's tribe return immediately to the south bank of the Lishui River Valley and set up camp.

This is not cowardice.

But now the situation has changed!
In the current situation where the outer city of Chencang changed hands, Sima Yi, who wanted to recapture Chencang City and rescue Guo Huai, was the one who was eager to fight. The Han army could fight based on the geographical advantages of the river valley and win a greater chance of winning.

For example, if you can't defend first, let the morale of the Wei army, which has been unable to attack for a long time, become sluggish, and then the whole army will pour out a decisive battle with it.

Furthermore, both the prime minister and Wu Ban needed time to rest.

Whether it is the exhaustion of the hard battle for more than a month, or the retreat of soldiers and soldiers, there are vacancies in the formation of each soldier and horse. It is urgent to reorganize and perform a little martial arts in order to regain its combat power.

In the end, Jiang Wei, who had been staying on the south bank of the Weishui River, was transferred back.

His previous strategic purpose of staying on the south bank of the Weishui River had already been achieved, and it would be useless to stay there any longer.

Originally, the prime minister planned to let Jiang Wei go north to Zheng Pu's control.

Because in the prime minister's thinking, Zheng Pu led the army back to Yumi County to guard, and continued to maintain the power of going south to Siwei and going north to Longdong to attack Jingzhao along the Jingshui River Valley.

Chen Cangcheng is already in his pocket~
If he rebelled against Wei Sima Yi, would he still have a chance to contain the Han army in Youfufeng?
However, when the prime minister was about to pass the order to Jiang Wei, Fu Qian, who was left by his side to tell the details of the breach of the north city gate, suddenly said, "Prime Minister, sir, before our army occupied the north city wall, Let the soldiers go north to fight Niwei Qianhong and other troops."

Zijin has already set off?

At that time, the prime minister couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard the words.

After knowing that Fu Qian wrote a letter to ask Zheng Pu when he advised Wu Ban, he thought about it for a long time.

Gein knew that Zheng Pu was not a reckless person.

Based on his talent in military planning, he can definitely guess that after the Han army occupied Chencang City, they would fight the Wei army with the tactic of waiting for work.

But knowing this, but still taking the lead in marching, must be thoughtful.

Could it be that Zijin had already sent someone to notify Li Tangmang in Qiaomen County, Shangjun County, Bingzhou, and agreed with him on the time to attack the Wei army's rear?Or could it be said that Zijin planned to force the Wei army to fight in a field before Chen Cangcheng changed hands, completely defeating its vigor?

For a while, the prime minister could not guess Zheng Pu's intention.

And his pondering made Fu Qian a little nervous.

Although he knew that Zheng Pu was a superintendent and had the right to make decisions before the battle, but this time was obviously contrary to the prime minister's dispatch.

He was a little worried that Zheng Pu would be reprimanded by the prime minister because of his talkativeness.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he continued, "Prime Minister, when Mr. Superintendent went north, whether the outer city of Chen Cang could be captured was still uncertain. And when Mr. Qin replied to the letter, he also claimed that this time the army moved north. It is indeed a rare opportunity to force the Wei army to fight in the field, so I don't want to miss it."

As soon as this remark fell, the prime minister couldn't help but smile.

Who is he!

An Neng couldn't hear Fu Qian's faint intention to excuse Zheng Pu?
He also couldn't help joking, "Gongyuan's words are trying to excuse Zijin?"

Fu Qian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the prime minister had no intention of guilt, so he scratched his temples and smiled shyly.

"With ingenuity and good judgment, there is no one in our army who is better than Zijin."

With a chuckle, the prime minister said slowly, "And his duty is to protect Longdong comprehensively, contain part of the troops against the Wei Dynasty, and let our army attack the fortifications safely. It is also within the duty to supervise the army to go north this morning. What is my responsibility? What I’m thinking now is that since Zijin’s tribe has already gone north, and Boyue’s tribe will return to the Chinese army, or it would be better to enter Wuzhangyuan.”

uh~
It turned out to be the case.

However, why do you want to enter Wuzhangyuan?
Could it be that the Prime Minister intends to let General Jiang go to Baoxie Valley to return to Hanzhong County, and attack the Wei Jingzhou Inspector Hu Zhi's Department who is now disturbing the Golden Siege?
It's just that General Meng, who stayed in Hanzhong, said that Hanzhong can be defended without worry, so why spread the troops?

Or in other words, the prime minister intends to go to Meridian Valley again?
Fu Qian understood and was confused, but he didn't dare to disturb the prime minister's thoughts by speaking again.

And the prime minister didn't intend to explain to him this time.

Sima Yi knew about the news that the outer city of Chen Cang had been breached.

Although Wei Yan had already sent Zhao Guangbu to guard the area from Sishui River Valley to Yong County as Zheng Pu's troops went north, and no longer ordered Wei Guo's scouts to approach Chencang City to watch the battle, but Guo Huai, who was trapped in the inner city, sent news.

After he entered the inner city, he lit the wolf smoke that he had prepared earlier.

In the clear summer sky, there is a solitary smoke. This is the signal he agreed with Sima Yi, signaling the fall of the outer city.

It's just that neither of them expected that this day would come so early.

As far as Sima Yi was concerned, he felt even more disappointed.

He had already summoned an army to prepare for the rescue, but he did not expect the news that the outer city of Chen Cang had fallen, which made him feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

In other words, the two sides of the Han and Wei Dynasties will eventually have a decisive battle, and whether Chencang falls or not does not seem to have much influence.

After all, regardless of whether Chencang fell or not, it was impossible for Guo Huai's tribe, who was surrounded by heavy siege, to burst out from the city at the right time and attack the Han army back and forth with his army.And if he can defeat the Han army and drive the Han army out of Guanzhong, then they have to give up Chencang and return to Dashan Pass to guard.

However, the reality is not so simple.

For example, after the Han army captured Chencang, the morale of the enemy and ourselves will inevitably ebb and flow again.

Moreover, Sima Yi felt that the Han army would not fight Wei Guo in a short time.

The offensive and defensive situation has reversed again~
Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Nishu, can wait for work without knowing it!
The facts are exactly as he expected.

When the first wave of scouts came to report, claiming that there was smoke rising from Chencang City; another wave of scouts came in a hurry, claiming that the Wei Yan tribe in Nishu had already dismantled their camp and was returning to the south bank of the Sishui River Valley.
In an upright field battle, the Wei army has little success; if it storms the Han army that occupies a geographical advantage, what are the chances of the Wei army winning?
Sima Yi suddenly didn't want to think deeply.

Therefore, his mind also turned to Qishui River Valley in Duyang County.

Counting the marching time, Bapu, Sun Li, Qianhong and other troops are about to face each other head-on.

If not, our army can divide half of our troops to go north, so that Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Nishu, has to divide his troops to go north, and resolve Nishu's advantage of occupying the repatriation river valley?
