Chapter 489 Hit a Wall
Although Jiang Wei changed Wei Yan's policy of guarding the siege by mistake and let the bell go, he would enter Hanzhong, but all the cities in Hanzhong are dangerous places surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Concentrate troops and gather valleys, and concentrate troops and food in heavy cities, waiting for defensive counterattacks.

"Why didn't Wang Hun come to see me?" Knowing the news that Wang Hun had been unable to attack for a long time, Zhong Hui smiled instead of anger, but this smile made people feel a little creepy.

"General Wang wants to trap the Shu army in Huangjinwei so that they will not threaten our army's rear." Ju An said tremblingly, wishing to greet the eighteenth generation of Wang Hun's ancestors in his heart.

After the siege failed, although Wang Hun did not kill him, he gave him a more terrible job to explain to Zhong Hui...

Wang Hun is not easy to mess with, and Zhong Hui is not a kind person.

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "So, I have to thank him?"

"Don't dare, because the Huangjinwei Mountain is steep, the Shu army is quite elite, and the veteran Liu Yin is the champion of the three armies, so General Wang asks for a little more time." Ju An felt that he had never been so useless in his life.

Zhong Hui closed his eyes, but his middle finger tapped on the bamboo table, neither light nor heavy, and the sound was just right, full of pressure.

Ju An felt his head repeatedly rubbing against the knife edge.

There was cold sweat on his forehead.

The current Zhonghui needs human heads too much to make an example to others.

Wang Hun didn't dare to come by himself, so he asked Ju An to come...

These big people are intriguing, and the little people are at risk of losing their lives at every turn.

After a long time, Zhong Hui sighed, "Forget it, let's give it a few more days."

Wang Hun is not Ju'an, but the Taiyuan Wang family behind him.

Wang Chang had just passed away and was posthumously named Situ.

Zhong would kill Wang Hun, which would be detrimental to his own reputation and future.

The military order was nothing more than forcing Wang Hun to bow his head.

"Xie Dudu is magnanimous!" Ju An half-kneeled on the ground and bowed his hands.

You can't win Yang'an Pass, Han and Le Cities, or even Huangjinwei.

Zhong Hui was very upset.

The 12 army has been in Hanzhong for a long time without success, and the situation is gradually getting worse.

Zhong Hui was good at plotting and plotting. In the past, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao attacked Huainan, and they mostly planned strategies behind the scenes. No fish was caught.

There are [-] troops in Hanzhong, Jiang Wei has more than [-] elite troops in Tazhong, and there are six or seven thousand Shu troops in Liaohua in Yinping.

Once Wei Jun showed signs of fatigue, it was time for Jiang Wei and Liao Hua to step up.

"The key point of Hanzhong is Yang'an Pass. Behind this pass is the Jiange. If you get this place, Han and Le will be isolated cities!" Wang Jun suggested when there was nothing to do.

Yang'an Pass is the node of Hanzhong's defense and the first gateway to Shuzhong.

Taking this place will divide the Shu army into three.

Jiang Wei and Liao Hua were blocked to the west, Hanzhong was cut off to the east, and Shuzhong was cut off to the south.

"I will attack it with heavy troops!" Zhong Hui immediately agreed with Wang Jun's suggestion as if he had been enlightened.

In the past, Fazheng once said to Liu Bei: "The belly of a fish and the juncture are actually the gates of good fortune and misfortune in Yizhou."

The belly of the fish is Baidi City, one of the important towns of Yong'an, the place where Liu Bei defeated Tuogu, and it blocked Lu Xun's pursuit.

And the critical point is Yang'an Pass.

This pass is the beginning of the Hanzhong Basin. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the north and south flatlands are about four miles wide. .

It is the gateway among the gates, Guancheng Zhongguancheng, Shuzhong leading to Hanzhong, Hanzhong leading to Longyou, all need to pass through here.

So Jiang Wei sent two heavy generals and 2 troops to defend.

Both Fu Qian and Jiang Shu have followed Jiang Wei for many years.

Fu Qian was once promoted to governor of Guanzhong.

Jiang Shu was also the Governor of Wu Xing in his early years, but after Huang Hao came to power, he began to suppress Jiang Wei and divide the crowd. Jiang Shu came from a humble background, and his family background was not as prominent as Fu Qian. Huang Hao targeted him, thinking that he had no merit, and was dismissed from office. .

Jiang Wei, the old boss, persisted and asked him to help defend Yang'an Pass.

It is true that Zhong Hui found the throat between Hanzhong and Shuzhong, but this throat is not so easy to win.

The superiority of troops cannot be deployed on narrow terrain.

Once the Wei army attacked, there would be no limit to the rolling stones in Guanzhong...

Fu Qian and Jiang Shu were both wise and courageous generals who were at the top of the ranks. Their command was determined, the food in the city was plentiful, and the Shu army worked hard. The Wei army suffered heavy casualties before they even touched the wall.

After several days of fierce attacks, except for thousands of corpses and many wounded soldiers, Yang'an Pass was as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhong Hui saw through Jiang Wei's strategy of gathering troops to lure the enemy into the valley, and the 12 army marched straight in to defeat it with strength, but when it entered the tactical level, it hit a wall everywhere.

Knowing that Shu foreign countries are strong and capable, but they just can't break through this tough outer skin.

There are iron plates everywhere in Hanzhong, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Zhong Hui felt depressed, so he could only temporarily order the soldiers to rest.

"The governor has always been wise and far-reaching. Jiang Wei has been preparing for this battle for a long time. Hanzhong is as solid as gold, so it is naturally not easy to attack. The two armies are fighting, so don't rush for a while. The so-called long-term defense will lose. Now our 12 troops have entered Hanzhong. Above the neck, the national power of Shu is exhausted, how long will it consume? The governor may as well help to defend himself, in case the times change, if one of the three places in Hanzhong is destroyed, all of Hanzhong will be destroyed."

At this time, the guard Xun Kai offered a strategy.

This person is the great-grandson of Xun Yu and the grandson of Sima Yi. His father, Xun Yu, is the grandson of Wei Wu Cao Cao.

The Xun family and the Zhong family are of the same spirit, and Zhong Hui will naturally listen to Xun Kai's words.

So he ordered the army to build camps in place for a long-term attack.

In addition, Zhong Hui went to Dingjun Mountain to pay homage to Zhuge Wuhou's tomb, and wrote thousands of words eloquently, praising Zhuge Wuhou and offering sacrifices to the sky.

With the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Anshu.

If the strong attack fails, you can only come softly.

With enough soft work, it can also wear water through stone.

He also made people shoot books to the cities of Yang'an, Han, and Le, and promised high officials and rich salary to persuade the generals to surrender.

He even praised Jiang Bin, the guard of the city of Seoul, "There are many sages, wise, civil and military men in Bashu. As for your feet, Zhuge Siyuan, for example, the grass and trees are like me. The respect of the sangzi has been honored in the past and the present. When you go to the west, you want to To pay homage to the tombs of great princes and marquises, sweep the tombs and pay respects to the shrines. Please let me know where they are!"

Zhong Hui was born in a top gentry family, and Jiang Bin was also a leader in the Jingzhou clan. He was influenced by his father Jiang Wan since he was a child, and he was quite famous for his morale. That is to say. Death Kao suffered from illness in the past, and died in Fu County. It was said that it was auspicious, so he settled in the house. Zhijun Ximai wanted to kneel down and build a tomb. Looking at the father of Judah, Yan Zi’s benevolence, I feel sad when I hear the fate , to increase emotion."

Although the situation on the battlefield did not open up, Zhong Hui's reputation spread.

Everything that happened in Hanzhong was quickly spread to Jiang Wei in Tazhong.

So far, the situation is generally the same as Jiang Wei expected.

The next step is to boil.

Let's see who burns out first.

Although Yang'an, Han, Le, Jinjin, and Zhong Hui stormed Yang'an Pass, Jiang Wei was least worried about this place.

There are [-] elite soldiers in the city, which can be said to be sufficient for soldiers and food.

"Zhonghui has become a fish in a pot, and the defeat is set. The general's strategy of gathering troops and gathering the valley has worked. Winter is coming soon. Why not seal off the Qinling Mountains and cut off Zhonghui's supplies?" The situation is very good, Huang Chong suggested.

Jiang Wei shook his head, "Wei's army isn't tired yet, and the food and grass can last for several months, so there's no need to rush. And the key to this battle is in Liangzhou!"

"Yang Zheng?"

"In the battle of Hanzhong, Guanzhong was empty. Yang Zheng's troops mobilized horses and horses, and he stopped his troops. If he didn't take Guanzhong, what was his intention?"

"Could it be that Yang Zheng is also coveting Hanzhong?" Huang Chong frowned.

From the situation of Yongliang, Hanzhong has become the most critical place.

If Shu kept Hanzhong, it kept Guozuo.

If Wei Guo wins Hanzhong, he can advance to Shuzhong, retreat to help defend Guanzhong, squeeze Liangzhou strategically, and gradually invade Longyou.

Similarly, if Liangzhou takes Hanzhong, the whole Guanzhong will be surrounded by strategy, and Sima Zhao will definitely not be able to hold it. If Yang Zheng is more thoughtful and manages Hanzhong well, he can go south to destroy Shu.

So when Jiang Wei used Hanzhong as the bait, Zhong Hui was destined to take the bait.

But Yang Zheng stood still!

The more he stayed still, the more uneasy Jiang Wei felt.

"Yang Zheng, the tiger and wolf of the world! He neither sent troops to Guanzhong nor Hanzhong, what is his plan? Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of Hanzhong's defeat and benefit from it?" Huang Chong could only think of these.

Jiang Wei walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast mountains to the west.

Surrounded by green mountains, towering snow tops, and blue sky.

There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers, attracting countless heroes to bow down!
This time, even Jiang Wei didn't see through what Yang Zheng was plotting.
