Chapter 448 Crossing Wei
In addition to strengthening the defense at Tongguan, Sima Zhao also ordered Sima Liang, the left general of the school, to lead 5000 Chinese troops into Linjin, and Sima Gan, the captain of the Tunqi school, to lead [-] people into Wuguan.

The purpose is obvious, as long as the gate of Guanzhong is grasped, Chang'an is equivalent to Hefei New City in Huainan.

At the same time, let the people of the Sima family brush up their records.

Yang Zheng wanted to use Guanzhong to consume Sima Zhao, and Sima Zhao also used Chang'an to consume Liangzhou and Shu.

With the strength of Chang'an, as long as there is enough food and grass, Liangzhou and the whole country of Shu may not be able to conquer it.

It will take two or three years, and when the Kanto recovers a bit, it will be like destroying Zhuge's birthday, and hundreds of thousands of troops will overwhelm Mount Tai.

In this era, it is really normal for a big war to last for a year and a half.

In July of the third year of Ganlu, Yang Zheng's army was in Yunyang, and Wang Ji's army was in Zhengxian County, with Chang'an in between.

Zheng County is in the south of the Weishui River, backed by Huashan Mountain. It can support Linjin in the north, Chang'an in the west at any time, and take care of important towns such as Lantian and Wuguan in the south.

Experts will know if there is any.

Wang Ji stationed troops in Zheng County, and instantly built a defense system in Jingzhao County.

Chang'an arrived at the front, Zheng County was in the middle, Linjin was the wing, and Tongguan was the rear.

Put on a posture of defensive counterattack, if there is any difficulty in the four directions, support at any time.

Just wait for Yang Zheng to jump inside.

"Wang Ji took the Wei River as a moat, and set up seventeen camps on both sides of the north and south banks. He also cut down the wood of Huashan Mountain to build boats and floats, and went straight to Chang'an. Our army scouts." Meng Guan came to report.

In this way, Chang'an and Zheng County are connected together by the Wei River.

It seems that Wang Ji intends to abandon Fengyi County in the north and concentrate on running Jingzhao County.

This is actually Chen Tai's strategy a few years ago.

"What's the move of the Shu army?"

"Shu general Fu Qian guarded Chencang, Yamen general Zhao Guang guarded martial arts, and Yinping prefect Liao Hua stayed in the middle to support them. According to the detailed reports from Shu Zhong, Shu Shangshu ordered Chen Zhi to die of illness, and Jiang Wei returned to Chengdu."

"I see." Yang Zheng nodded.

Chen Zhi's reputation is not obvious in later generations, and he seems to have no famous political achievements, but he is very important in Shu.

Reconcile the major factions of Jiang Wei, Huang Hao, Yizhou scholars, and Jingzhou scholars.

With him here, the wrecked ship of the Kingdom of Shu can still be stuck together, humming and chirping forward, but when he is gone, the bosses of all parties will not be pleasing to anyone.

Huang Hao also broke away from the constraints, and Jiang Wei's life will be difficult in the future.

It used to be a secret fight, but in the future, it may be an open fight.

It may not be so easy for Liu Chan to find another person like this. The balance of power that has just been established will be shaken again.

When Chen Zhi fell, there was a power vacuum in the court, and Jiang Wei, as a general, naturally wanted to return to Chengdu.

"It's fine without the Shu army around." Yang Zheng murmured to himself in a low voice. If there is more power on one side, there will be another game. The previous two attacks on Chang'an were fruitless, so they kept fighting with the Shu army.

You guard me, I guard you.

It is necessary to use each other, but also to prevent being used by the other party...

Wang Ji was in the deep trenches and high forts in Zheng County, but he was actually playing the same trick as besieging Shouchun.

Deep ditches and high fortifications make fortified strongholds to fight dull battles.

Don't play bells and whistles, just fight for national power consumption!
How could the Liangzhou behind Yang Zheng beat the Central Plains behind Wang Ji?

But if Wang Ji's iron fence is not broken, and Wang Ji is inserted in Jingzhao like a nail for two or three years, Sima Zhao's Mount Tai will come to the top later.

Although this trick is lackluster, it is the best way.

"Renyou, tell me how to break the iron siege of Wang Ji?" After fighting for so many years, Yang Zheng actually has a plan in his chest, but he still asks his subordinates for their opinions habitually.

Pang Qing cooperated with Liu Heng and played very well in Bingzhou.

Yang Zheng just wanted them to harass and plunder, but he didn't expect them to win Yanmen, opening up the situation for Liangzhou and opening up another strategic direction.

Pang Qing clasped his hands and said: "The subordinates feel that our army's advantage lies in the cavalry. There is no need to fight Wang Ji to the death in Zheng County. We should attack Chang'an and drag the battlefield to the vicinity of Chang'an."

"Renzhan?" Yang Zheng looked at Meng Guan.

A staff officer must have the value of a staff officer.

"Wang Ji sticks to the south of the Wei River, and uses Pang Hui and Wen Yang to sweep the north of the Wei River. It is better to besiege and kill these two first, and cut off Wang Ji's minions." Meng Guan cupped his hands.

This proposal is quite exciting.

However, Pang Hui and Wen Yang are likely to be the bait released by Wang Ji.

I am a cavalry, and the opponent is also a cavalry, so it is difficult to surround and kill two people.

Besides, today's Wenyang is famous all over the world, and he is good at breaking through. Back then, Sima Division's 10,000+ army did not leave him behind.

"Wang Ji relied on the Weishui. Two years ago, Yuan Kai was able to repeatedly shuttle through the [-]-strong army, and finally wiped out [-] Hebei Yicong. He also relied on the Weishui. In the Guanzhong land, whoever gets the Weishui will win Being able to come and go freely is beneficial to the invincible position!" Yang Zheng explained Wang Ji's strategic intentions in one sentence.

With Weishui and Beiluoshui, Wang Ji connected Chang'an, Zhengxian, and Linjin together.

"The general is wise." Pang Qingmengguan said at the same time.

Yang Zheng chuckled and said, "But Wang Ji forgot one thing. His [-]-step cavalry can control the waterway from Chang'an to Zheng County, but it can't control the entire Wei River!"

How big is the Wei River?

4 people can defend the Chang'an, Zhengxian, and Linjin areas, which is quite good.

Yang Zheng pointed to the sand table, "Our army can cross Jingshui, enter Fufeng County first, and then go down the river from Fufeng County to directly attack Chang'an. If Wang Ji comes to rescue, our army will leave. If he doesn't come, I will attack Chang'an and capture him alive." Sima Fu, Sima Wang!"

With the cavalry in hand, they have the initiative on the battlefield.

How to fight is my own business, how can I fight Wang Ji to the death in Zheng County?
Those who are good at fighting should target others but not others.

Du Yu's strategy of repeatedly dragging and pulling back then gave Yang Zheng enough inspiration.

Du Yu's [-] cavalry were able to handle the encirclement of an [-]-strong army with ease. Now he has a [-]-strong army, and there are government soldiers gathering behind him. The situation is much stronger than Du Yu's.

Even if he doesn't know how to copy, Yang Zheng doesn't have to mess around in this world anymore.

If Sima Fu could be killed in this battle, it would be like stabbing Sima Zhao in the chest.

Sima Shi and Sima Zhaoneng took over the power smoothly, in fact, it is all thanks to Sima Fu.

This is the core of Sima's.

In the past, Yang Zheng was not strong enough, Deng Ai was watching in the west in Longyou, and the Shu army was in Hanzhong in the south.

Now that Deng Ai is gone, Longyou is his own, and Jiang Wei is caught in the domestic struggle in Shu, and he can't get away for the time being.

It can also be regarded as an opportunity to attack Chang'an.

As for whether the Shu army will backstab after taking Chang'an, that is a matter for the future.

In the battle of Deng Ai and Duangu, the spirit of the Kingdom of Shu was defeated.

"Our army passed through Fufeng, will the Shu army..." Meng Guan asked.

Fu Qian and Zhao Guang who stayed in Fufeng were both radicals of Shu.

Looking at Yang Zheng's smirk, Meng Guan suddenly understood, "This is also a misfortune, dragging the Shu army into the water!"

Jiang Wei also did this trick back then, and now he is returning it to them.

Allies are used to take advantage of, not to mention that they are not allies with Shu now.

"All the troops follow me south to Huaili!"

"only!"

Like Wang Ji, Jiang Wei only selected a few strategically important places to defend in Fufeng County.

Given the current situation of the Shu Kingdom, it is impossible to invest a large amount of national power into Guanzhong.

The focus of its defense is still Hanzhong.

The important towns of Chencang, Meixian, and Wugong all rely on Hanzhong to exist.
