Shu Chen

Chapter 529

From the beginning of shrinking and defending to avoid fighting, to now seeking to fight, the change of Wei Yongliang's governor Sima Yi's mentality is very bizarre.

But when I think about it carefully, it makes sense.

As the saying goes, this moment and that moment.

It will be even more difficult for Wei Guohui after the Guohuai tribe is defeated and the Han army has completely occupied the city.

Furthermore, Wei Guo has no way to retreat.

When Gaoping City fell, he retreated to Chen Cang; when Chen Cang City fell, where else could he retreat?

Retreat to Chang'an, the old capital of the Han Dynasty?
If Chang'an City is used as a barrier against the Han army, under the prestige of the Han Dynasty for 400 years, what is the difference between this and surrendering the entire Guanzhong!
Sima Yi thought for a moment, and finally made a decision.

Instead, with Qin Lang as the chief general and Xia Houba as the deputy, he can supervise the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the [-] Luoyang Central Army, and the [-] Yongliang soldiers to go north to join Sun Li and Qianhong.

There is no need to hide your whereabouts, but go all the way with great fanfare.

See if Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Nishu, can divide his troops and go north.

If it is possible, then Qin Lang's troops will turn back and fight fiercely with the soldiers and horses who went north from Nishu; and he himself will use the rest of the soldiers and horses to attack the Nishu camp in the River Valley.

And if the prime minister against Shu did not divide the troops, he would just order Bapu to transfer to Longdong or Guiyang City to avoid the war
After Qin Lang joined forces with Sun Li, Qian Hong and others, he headed all the way west, and went straight to attack Gaoping City, which is now very weakly defended, so that Ni Shu dared not avoid the battle!

And even the Wang Sheng Department, which was guarded in Qi County, was mobilized accordingly.

Sima Yi also asked him to leave only a few hundred soldiers to maintain order in the city, and then all the more than [-] people from his headquarters went up the Jingshui River Valley to attack Anding Linjing City.

Gein is now guarding Qi County, which has lost its strategic significance!

If the Wei army fails to recapture Chencang City, the Youfufeng counties to the west of Mei County will be safe to defend and will no longer be owned by the State of Wei.

This means that Nishu has countless routes to enter and cut off the lower reaches of the Jingshui River Valley and approach Qi County. At that time, the Wangsheng Ministry will also face the dilemma of being alone and helpless, reduced to a dead body in the tomb, and waiting to die.In this case, it is better to send troops now to support the war, so as to increase the odds of winning the war.

After making these adjustments, Sima Yi wrote a letter to Cao Rui, the emperor who is now in Hongnong County, when he encouraged the soldiers before the battle.

There is no pleading guilty for the fall of the outer city of Chencang.

Not to mention asking the emperor Cao Rui to increase his troops or issuing rewards to motivate soldiers.

But just one sentence.

Said: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent. The old minister can only fight to the death with the warlord to survive."

When the emperor Cao Rui received the above form, he was not emotional.

Not that I'm used to it.

Ever since he was in charge of Hongnong County, there was a wave of fast horses brought in from Guanzhong for war and military affairs every hour.

Day and night.

It doesn't matter whether the situation has changed: if there is no, then report it.

Therefore, he had already learned about the fall of the outer city of Chencang, and had already made a decision.

He will personally go to Chang'an to sit in town, and serve as the back town for the soldiers of Yongliang, so that everyone can understand that there is no way for Wei to retreat in this battle!

Only fight to the death!
And on the eve of departure, there was another episode.

Sima Shi, the regular servant of Sanqi who accompanied him, was hastily sent back to Luoyang, took the envoy's guard of honor and credentials, etc., and rushed to Wuchang Palace in Jingnan via Jingzhou.

As early as after Sun Quan accepted Wei's trade and when the Han army began to attack Chen Cangcheng, Gain Sima Shi had a private confrontation with Emperor Cao Rui and made a very bold suggestion.

At that time, Cao Rui felt that it was not advisable.

Now, he felt that some decisions had to be made.

Regardless of whether this decision is humiliating to the country.

After all, wars should not only consider what will happen after victory, but also need to prepare in advance how to meet the worst outcome.

Youfufeng, Duyang County, the birthplace of Dushui (lacquer water).

It has just entered the season of midsummer and June, and the scorching sun is still scorching the earth with unbearable heat.

Especially after noon at this time, not to mention the sun setting on the earth and turning it into a vast expanse of whiteness, it seems to be able to bake a faint curl of smoke; even a sleepy person hiding under the shade of a tree will feel the whole body Everything that is wet is sweat stains.

On a gentle slope descending from a mountain ridge, Qian Hong, who was wearing a fine leather armor and a headband, felt that his sweating body felt like countless ants were running around and biting him, which was very uncomfortable.

But even so, he also stood still, his eyes staring forward like a falcon.

The only movement is to reach out and stroke the neck of the war horse from time to time, to appease the anxiety of the war horse, which from time to time kicks its hooves and shakes its head because of the unbearable heat.

Behind him, nearly [-] Wuhuan Tuqi, who were equally sweaty and equally quiet, remained silent.

Following their gaze, I saw that in the flat valley below, two groups of soldiers and horses were already facing each other and setting up their positions, and they were about to fight to the death.

The white and swaying sunlight blurred people's vision.

But it does not prevent everyone from seeing that the number of cavalry and infantry of the Han army standing under the Chihei Banner is significantly smaller than that of the Wei army.

Relying on the scout guide of the Qianghu tribe who is familiar with the local mountains, rivers and valleys, Zheng Pu, who led his army northward from the Sishui River Valley, stopped Qianhong, Zhou Dang, Wang Qi and other troops in Duyang County without any suspense.

But Sun Libu, who came by detour from Yong County, also rushed over.

This frustrated Zheng Pu's wishful thinking.

He had already met up with Wang Ping's tribe and the Xiliang iron cavalry who had detoured south, and he originally thought that after the superintendent arrived, he would directly stage the scene of "the two armies encountered in the field, and they had to fight to the death"; The Ministry was defeated, and then turned back to attack Sun Li's Ministry.

But in the current situation, if he still ordered like this, he would be attacked from the side by Sun Li's department who had just arrived.

However, this little disappointment is irrelevant.

As long as he intercepted the Wei army heading south from Qi County, a field battle between the two sides would be inevitable.

Gein's two armies were only about seven or eight miles apart, and neither side dared to expose their backs to the enemy's blade.

And Zheng Pu felt that even if the Wei army had more than [-] Huaisi elites from Sun Li's Ministry, making the Han army a side with few troops, the banner that was finally erected on the battlefield was the red and black Han banner.

This has nothing to do with arrogance or blind self-confidence.

It is because of the belief that the Han army has won many battles and is irresistible.

The right is once and for all.

As soon as Sun Libu, who came in light clothes, stopped, Zhou Dang and Wang Qi, who were originally in a circular formation, began to split left and right, serving as the left and right wings of Sun Libu respectively, forming a huge Yuli formation; The Wuhuan Tuqi on the side of the pawns also slowly climbed up the slope, as a flanking army, Zheng Pu had this in mind.

Taking advantage of this time, he also changed the Han army.

It was the same as Wei Jun, who replaced the previous Mu formation with Yuli formation, and let the Xiliang cavalry come out to wait for attack.

Those who are beautiful and beautiful can advance but never retreat, they can only live towards death.
