Chapter 379 Persuasion
At the same time, Tazhong also welcomed envoys from Huainan.

"The Sima clan wants to conquer Huainan and dispatch troops from Chang'an. Now that the pass is empty, does the general have any intentions?"

Jiang Wei stared at the envoy, "Since Huainan is going to be attacked, why does someone want to raise troops now?"

The envoy laughed, and his rhetoric was similar to that of Wu Gang, "Sima Zhao's attack on Huainan must be well-planned and well-prepared. Only three years is not enough to form an army. Deng Ai is good at farming, and Sima Fu is good at governing the people. After three years, Guanzhong will be gone." The image of exhaustion, the tens of thousands of people in the Shu Kingdom, what can they do? If the time is not enough, you will suffer from it, the general is also!"

Every word the messenger said went into Jiang Wei's heart.

In recent years, the Shu army has made frequent northern expeditions, but it has not made great achievements.

He is not in a hurry, but there are people in Chengdu who are more anxious than him.

The Yizhou scholars and Jingzhou scholars became united in this matter, and repeatedly wrote to the Shu Lord Liu Chanyan to rest his troops and recuperate the people's strength in Shu.

To some extent, the interests of Jiang Wei and the Shu Lord overlapped.

If the Shu State Yanwu ceased its troops, Jiang Wei would be suppressed.

Jiang Weitai needed a win.

Shu Lord needs a victory.

Even the Kingdom of Shu needs a victory to boost morale and people's hearts.

Without this enthusiasm for the Northern Expedition, the Kingdom of Shu would not be far from defeat.

So Jiang Wei has already written to Chengdu, preparing for a big counterattack.

Jiang Wei drove the elite of Shuzhong out of Qishan Mountain, and Hu Ji, the general of the west of Shu Town, drove the elite of Hanzhong out of the wooden doorway, and together they attacked the sky and the water!

Just waiting for Shuzhong's approval.

The essence of Longyou is in Tianshui.

Since Guo Huai's death in battle, the Sima family is not the only one staring at this piece of fat.

And Jiang Weiben is Tianshui Kirin.

The purpose of attacking Longxi for so many years was to give the Wei army an illusion that Jiang Wei only dared to join forces with the Qiang people to invade Longxi.

"Furthermore, Zhuge Junhou also contacted Liangzhou together, and then we can attack from three sides and challenge Sima together!" The envoy's words became more and more alluring.

"I would like to ask the envoy to tell Zhuge Junhou that I will launch a northern expedition!" Jiang Wei's eyes are like swords.

The envoy nodded with a smile on his face, "If that's the case, then Sima Zhao will lose his foothold in advance and retreat. The military affairs are urgent. I will return to Huainan and convey the general's wishes."

"Come on, prepare the best horses."

"Wei!" Immediately, some soldiers brought two Liangzhou horses.

The messenger got on his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Junhou Zhuge is waiting for the good news in Huainan."

Jiang Wei led the generals and sent them outside the camp.

The sound of hoofbeats gradually faded away, and the figure was slim.

Jiang Wei kept staring east and did not return to camp.

Fu Qian said in a low voice, "This man is a fraud."

Jiang Wei smiled treacherously, "How do you know?"

"It's too late. Our army is hesitating whether to make a northern expedition. He came here to strengthen my heart. Moreover, Chen Tai led the army to leave Chang'an at this time. Could it be that Sima Zhao really doesn't want to go to Guanzhong?"

"You are right. This is a trap. The Wei people want to lure our army into the Northern Expedition." Jiang Wei said bluntly.

Fu Qian was surprised instead, "Using Guanzhong as a trap? What a big deal."

"Yang Zheng and I are both facing the same problem. Even if we take Chang'an, we can't keep it. That's the reason why the prime minister refused to take Wei Yan's plot of Ziwu Valley." Recalling Zhuge Wuhou, Jiang Wei couldn't help feeling deeply, The Northern Expedition that year was magnificent. Tens of thousands of troops left Qishan Mountain and Qinling Mountains, but the Wei army only dared to defend themselves.

However, Jiang Wei only plundered some people in Longxi in recent years, which did not help the general situation.

"So Sima Zhao wants to attract our army or the Liang army to advance eastward and destroy it under the city of Chang'an?" Fu Qian was brave and resourceful, and quickly figured out the key point.

The battle in Longxi was very different from the battle in Chang'an.

The Shu Army’s food road in Longxi does not need to be transported so far, and there are high mountains and mountains as its support. The Shu Army is good at fighting in the mountains.

Going to Chang'an is because the Wei army has the advantage of the inside line, and there is no trouble in transporting food. Moreover, the Guanzhong Plain is conducive to large corps operations, and Luoyang cavalry can arrive in ten months.

"Since the general saw through it, why didn't he kill this person?" asked Huang Chong on the other side.

"This person is not wrong. After three or four years, Guanzhong's strength has recovered, and it will be even more difficult for our army to make achievements. If you want to take Guanzhong, you must take Longyou. If you want to take Longyou, you must go to Tianshui! Back then, the prime minister did not take Guanzhong, he first took Longyou That's why! It's a pity that the defeat of Ma Di Jieting and the great situation of the Northern Expedition have come to nothing!" Jiang Wei's voice was somewhat desolate.

Tianshui Qilin'er has long since passed away, at the age of fifty-six.

The old age is far away, and the elite of Sichuan are also getting old.

When Zhuge Wuhou was mentioned, Fu Qian and Huang Chong fell silent.

After a while, Fu Qian said: "If that's the case, why didn't you know that Yang Zheng would call? If Liangzhou is severely injured, our army will not be able to help."

Huang Chong snorted coldly, "Since he took Liangzhou, Yang Zheng was quite arrogant, and he directly rejected His Majesty's kindness. You might as well let this person stumble and suffer serious injuries, so that he can ask me and depend on me! Sima Zhaoxing said this A poisonous trick, seven out of ten is to seduce him."

Jiang Wei nodded and said: "Although Yang Zheng is our potential ally, he is also a potential enemy. We should not let him become too prosperous. Everyone has their own destiny. It is up to him whether to attack Chang'an or not, but our army must take Tianshui!"

In Nan'an, outside the city of Bindao, among the villages, there are crowds of people.

The plan for a year lies in spring.

Yang Zheng just put on a show, but Deng Ai did it personally. Every time he plowed in spring and harvested in autumn, he would work with the soldiers.

Leading by example, even though he is mean, the soldiers are still willing to serve him.

At that time, Jiang Wei was fifty-six, while Deng Ai was sixty-two.

He looked slightly younger than Jiang Wei.

Dark skin, strong arms, and a straight body are always like a spear.

A man dressed as a farmer held a token and went straight into the field.

Deng Ai scattered around.

"The general has an order. The Tianshui and Guangwei Yongliang troops are all at the disposal of General Deng!" the envoy said in a deep voice.

Deng Ai was startled, he knew exactly what this meant.

Tianshui has more than [-] elite troops from Yongliang Army, and Sima Wang's [-] Luoyang Central Army, plus the [-] Nan'an elite troops in his hands, the strength reaches [-].

This is not a temporary farmer, but a real elite who has fought for several years, and it is also the last essence of Wei Jun in Longyou.

It is a mourning army.

Deng Ai and Yongliang's army were defeated by the same person.

He was always thinking about revenge, and this moment finally came.

"General Deng never blamed the defeat of the Qiang and the failure of the Yin. When the time came, the general once said that the one who can turn the tide of Yongliang is none other than General Deng!" Hit Deng Ai's heart.

The two generations of Sima Yi and Sima Shi have favored Deng Ai, and now Sima Zhao relies so heavily on him.

Scholar die for the confidant!

Deng Ai immediately knelt down in the paddy field, his face carved with knives and axes became more resolute, tenacious, and determined. He received the token and the edict, "If you don't break the bandits, Ai will be a minister in vain!"

Then he raised the token to the soldiers behind him.

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes lit up in the farmland, like wolves in the wilderness.

"Revenge is not far away!" Deng Ai raised his arms and shouted.
