contend

Chapter 486
What should be seen and what should be thought of, Zhong Hui has already seen clearly.

Jiang Wei took a step back, so Zhong Hui must take a step forward.

This is a rare opportunity.

The strength of the entire Shu Kingdom in Hanzhong was only [-].

In Zhong Hui's original calculation, the best situation was to lure Yang Zheng south, hunt Hanzhong, and fight among the three parties.

Then the advantages of the Xiliang cavalry cannot be brought into play, it is easy to get in, but not so easy to get out.

There is a large net in Hanzhong, but it is not known who is in the net!
"Weinan harvested 30 shi of grain from the fields." Yang Hu reported to Zhong Hui.

Like Liangzhou, Guanzhong is also counting grain.

"The 30 shi, plus the grain imported from Hedong and Nanyang, totaled 70 shi, enough for half a year." Yang Hu never participated in military discussions or led the army, and was only responsible for the logistics of the Guanzhong army.

"Half a year is enough." Zhong Hui was quite satisfied.

"Gu Zang gathered a hundred thousand rebels on foot and cavalry, but they didn't say anything. The intention must be in Guanzhong!" Uncharacteristically, Wang Hun spoke enthusiastically.

This unprecedented battle will determine the future of the three forces.

Yang Zheng couldn't afford to lose, Jiang Wei couldn't afford to lose, Zhong Hui couldn't afford to lose, and Sima Zhao, who was rich and powerful, couldn't afford to lose either.

If Zhonghui's more than [-] troops attack Hanzhong, then Guanzhong must be empty.

"Hanzhong won't hurt both sides. Bandit Yang will definitely not send troops! Even if he sends troops, today's Chang'an is no longer Chang'an in the past, and [-] defenders are enough to withstand half a year." Zhong Hui has been strengthening the defense of Chang'an these days, rebuilding the city gates Wengcheng and Jianduo were destroyed, and a large amount of supplies were hoarded in the city.

In addition to the defenders, there are [-] to [-] people who assist in defending the city.

As long as Chang'an blocks Yang Zheng's army for several months, Sima Zhao in Luoyang will not stand by.

The Central Plains already possesses the strength of one against two.

During the three rebellions in Huainan, Sima Zhao suppressed Zhuge Dan with one hand and Sun Chen with the other, and faced the pincer attack of Yang Zheng and Jiang Wei in the west.

"Jiang Wei gathers his troops and gathers the valley, but farms in Tazhong. It must be that the Shu thieves are restless in the country. Huang Hao manipulates power, and the Shu thieves are in chaos. If the governor takes Hanzhong, he can drive straight in and destroy Shu in one battle. Gong!" The more Wang Jun said, the more excited he became.

It is an indisputable fact that the Kingdom of Shu is getting weaker and weaker.

The last time Wang Jun's eight thousand elites went down to Chencang in one battle, it would have been impossible four or five years ago.

Four or five years ago, the Kingdom of Shu, under the leadership of Jiang Wei, made frequent northern expeditions, fighting alone against the three famous generals Deng Ai, Guo Huai, and Chen Tai, with several times their strength, and retreated with ease.

Zhong Hui's eyes flickered, but soon, the excitement on his face faded, and he shook his head, "This time we only take Hanzhong, and the decision to destroy Shu still needs to be ruled by the prime minister."

Without Yang Zheng in the west, these 14 horses may not be able to destroy Shu, but with Yang Zheng watching, Zhong Hui must be cautious.

The three parties calculated each other, but they also restrained each other.

And the greater the credit, the greater the risk.

This risk comes not only from the battlefield, but also from behind.

Zhong Huiren was in Chang'an, and he knew everything about what happened in Luoyang.

"Uncle, how do you stay in Chang'an?" Zhong Hui asked Yang Hu seemingly amiably.

Yang Hu was taken aback, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "This subordinate has never led an army, and has only read a few military books. Chang'an is of great importance. If there is a mistake, it will be a small matter for your subordinates to be smashed to pieces, but it will be a big thing to delay the country's major affairs."

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "Haha, my uncle is too modest. This pair of eyes can still recognize talents. Those who can guard Chang'an must be uncles! With my uncle behind me, I can not worry about the future, and Thief Yang may not attack Chang'an , Xiangguo will not let Chang'an fall."

Among Wang Jun, Yang Hu, and Wang Hun, Yang Hu was the most dignified, handsome, seven feet three inches tall, handsome, and taller than Wang Jun. Zhong Hui was best at judging people by their appearance.

"The governor, please take back the order. The subordinates are really unbearable for this important task." Yang Hu refused repeatedly.

"Xiangguo entrusted you and me with Guanzhong, but my uncle refused repeatedly, but why?" Zhong Hui said with a smile.

Yang Hu wanted to refuse Sima Zhao when he was brought out, but he also had to consider the consequences.

"Since the governor values ​​his subordinates so much, he will do his best." Yang Hu cupped his hands.

"Great goodness!" Zhong Hui clapped his hands and laughed.

"My uncle is famous all over the world, so I don't have any worries this time!" Wang Jun cupped his hands at Yanghu.

Wang Hun's face darkened.

Wang Chang died of illness. He was supposed to return to Chang'an to observe his filial piety, but Sima Zhao took advantage of him to let him stay in office. If he stays, he can stay. Wang Hun also wants to make some achievements.

But Zhong Hui was close to Wang Jun and Yang Hu, but he was a little distant from him.

Zhong Hui didn't care about Wang Hun's thoughts, rubbed his hands, and said solemnly: "Everything has been decided, and the three armies are ordered to rise up in three days and follow me to attack Hanzhong!"

"Wei!" The three of them cupped their hands at the same time.

Luoyang.

The autumn wind is blowing south and the weather is getting cooler.

Sima Zhao naturally knew that the pattern of the world had entered a crucial link.

If this battle is won, the Kingdom of Shu, which lost Hanzhong, will surely perish within a few years.

And Liangzhou's vigorous upward momentum was suppressed.

"It is too difficult to destroy Liang and Shu in the First World War, but if Hanzhong is taken down, the world will be dominated by me." Sima Zhao leaned on the yellow-patterned jacquard table.

The Emperor’s Jade Tables were made in the Han Dynasty, and in winter they were topped with brocade brocade, which is called Ti Tablets. Dukes and lords used bamboo and wood as their tableware, and in winter they used fine 罽 as manuscripts to support them. There is no need for a few.

How much is a status symbol.

It is self-evident that Sima Zhao is using the yellow pattern jacquard tiji now.

Jia Chong said sadly: "Shi Ji and Yang Zheng are both heroes in the world. How the situation in the northwest depends on their means."

Putting Zhong Hui and Yang Zheng together, and praising them as "heroes of the world", Sima Zhao frowned, with a very displeased expression on his face.

The person Sima Zhao loathes and hates the most in this world, Yang Zheng undoubtedly ranks first.

"Hero? Gonglu, don't talk nonsense!" Sima Zhao scolded in a low voice.

Jia Chong quickly got up, cupped his hands and bowed his knees, "This is not what my subordinates are talking about, but what Zhong Dudu said in his letter."

He took out silk from his bosom, knelt forward, and presented it.

Sima Zhao took it, and after reading it, his face became even more gloomy.

Before Zhonghui sent troops, people in Luoyang kept dissuading him.

Xun Xu, Zhong Hui's nephew, said: "Although Zhong Hui has received kindness, his nature cannot be seen to be meaningful, so we must prepare for it quickly."

Even Zhong Yu, Zhong Hui's elder brother, had advised him: it's hard to guarantee the skills of being a master, and you can't be full-time.

At that time Sima Zhao said with a smile that if the clock will be chaotic in the future, it has nothing to do with you.

"Heroes in the world... only you and I..." Sima Zhao read Zhong Hui's letter word by word. This sentence was just like what Wei Wu said to Liu Bei when green plums were cooking wine.

Zhong Hui's calligraphy cannot be imitated by others, just like his people.

Although Jia Chong lowered his head, he could clearly feel Sima Zhao's growing anger.

At this moment, Chen Tai coughed lightly.

Sima Zhao suddenly threw the silk on the ground, and said with a smile: "Shi Ji is a man, don't I know? This must be a plan to provoke the general. Shi Ji and I have known each other since we were young, so how could he betray me? Don't talk too much!"

Jia Chong was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that none of this would bring down Zhong Hui.

Chen Tai clasped his hands and said: "There is a saying in the Zuo Zhuan: soldiers are like fire, and if you are angry, you will set yourself on fire. The Shu thief's national strength is exhausted. In the past, there was still Fei Yi who saved his shirt. Jiang Wei was in charge of the army. Consumption without income, and now the internal strife is already a sign of the country's destruction, the prime minister can use all the elite from Luozhong to go to Chang'an, and the kingdom of Shu will be destroyed, and the day of unification of the world will not be far away!"

Sima Zhao pondered for a while and said, "There's no rush, let's see how the situation in Yongliang is!"
