contend

Chapter 491
Although there is a strategy of defeating Shu, there are many difficulties in implementing it.

With more troops, more logistical supply pressure, and more movement, it is not a smuggling, but a clear break-in.

With fewer troops, how can we break through Chengdu?
In history, Liu Chan surrendered to Cao Wei, but he may not surrender to Liangzhou.

If Liu Chan did not surrender, it would not be so easy to capture a large city with a population of 10,000+. The most likely possibility is that the reinforcements from Nanzhong and Yong'an rushed back to encircle and wipe out Du Yu under the city of Chengdu.

Furthermore, now that Jiang Wei has been squatting in the middle of the pile, it is self-evident who he is guarding against.

In history, when Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping, the first pass was Tazhong, and then he went to Konghan Valley, went south to Yinping, crossed Jinggu Road to Yinping Trail, walked six hundred miles among the mountains, and walked out of Yinping, facing Jiangyou, the important town of Shu. Behind Jiangyou there are Fuguan, Mianzhuguan, and finally Chengdu.

If something went wrong in any of the links, Du Yu died without a place to bury him.

So looking at the complex terrain on the sand table, Yang Zheng had to admire Deng Ai's courage.

Without Deng Ai, there is a high probability that the Three Kingdoms will continue for a year or two. It is not until the death of Liu Chan or Jiang Wei that the Shu Kingdom becomes a mess like Wu, and the Sima family may have a chance.

Now, as long as Jiang Wei stands in the way, there is no chance of smuggling to Yinping.

So the current situation depends on whether the clock will be able to tear down the iron wall of Hanzhong.

Li Te's [-] Qiang Di mountain infantry had already rushed to Fanghan, waiting for the confluence of Du Yu's army.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

If Zhonghui can't win Hanzhong, Jiang Wei, the goalkeeper, won't leave.

It really moves the whole body.

In addition to stationing troops in Dazhong, Jiang Wei also set up seven encircles in Xi'an, Jianwei, Wuwei, Shimen, Wucheng, Jianchang, and Linyuan in Qishan Mountains, blocking Longyou tightly.

This also shows that Jiang Wei is still more afraid of himself than Zhong Hui.

While waiting, the autumn wind gradually turned into a cold wind, and the murderous aura between the heaven and the earth became more and more intense.

It seems to be able to smell the bloody gas of Jin Ge and Iron Horse.

In a blink of an eye, in November of the fourth year of Ganlu, a thin snow fell on the land of Liangzhou.

"The news came from the meticulous work that Zhonghui was short of food." Pang Qing reported.

Yang Zheng couldn't help frowning, did he miss this opportunity for nothing?
Zhonghui will be defeated, and the Shu army will surely win a big victory. With these 12 elites back to blood, the Shu Kingdom may stand up again.

"Zhong Hui's defeat is imminent, so why don't you send troops to Guanzhong, take Chang'an first, and gather the defeated Qinling troops?" Meng Guan suggested.

"Chang'an is not easy to get!" Others don't know how powerful Yang Hu is, how can I not know?
In the last 30 years of the Three Kingdoms, the most dazzling existences were Jiang Wei, Deng Ai, Zhong Hui, Yang Hu, Lu Kang, and Du Yu.

Moreover, Yang Zheng felt that Guanzhong was probably a big hole that Zhong Hui had left for him.

If he moved by himself, Sima Zhao in Luoyang would definitely move too.

At that time, I still can't eat and walk around.

So strategic focus is very important.

Guanzhong must go, but it is by no means the time when the situation is still unclear.

While discussing, the soldiers said outside the hall: "Your Majesty, there will be a letter from the bell!"

Yang Zheng was taken aback, and said Zhong Hui, Zhong Hui would come.

This guy is riding a tiger now, and he still has the heart to write a letter to tease himself?
As soon as his eyes fell on the silk, goose bumps appeared on his body.

"My brother Xingyun, I must take Hanzhong for my brother. I can wait for the good news in Guzang. If you are bored, you can attack Tazhong and recruit Jiang Wei, Liao Hua and other Shuzhong heroes. I will meet you in Hanzhong again. You and my brother will meet again and be happy." Drinking freely, satisfying the ambition of life..."

Yang Zheng was speechless. When did he become a "brother" and he became a younger brother?
But judging by his stern tone, it seems that he has a good chance of winning.

"Send this letter to Jia Chong as well."

In the city of Luoyang, Sima Zhao wished he could cut himself into pieces. You, Zhong Hui, would call him a brother here, so you don’t take Sima Zhao seriously.

"Wei!" Pang Qing took the letter.

Zhong Hui's letter at this time undoubtedly gave Yang Zheng a reassurance.

Although this guy is arrogant and looks like a celebrity, he will never talk nonsense, and he will definitely do what he says.

"Wait, give Jiang Wei a copy of this letter." Yang Zheng had an idea.

In the current situation, the one who should be most worried is not himself, but Jiang Wei.

There are Huang Hao and others holding back inside, and there are 12 troops outside, as well as myself who is watching.

Ordinary people would have collapsed long ago under this kind of pressure.

The current state of Shu, which is Jiang Wei's pillar, is nothing to worry about.

Soon, more than a dozen riders crossed Niutou Mountain from Longxi and entered Tazhong.

Jiang Wei was in good spirits, and every day Zhonghui's 12 troops weakened.

The strategy of gathering troops and gathering valleys has also withstood tremendous pressure.

But after seeing Zhong Hui's letter, Jiang Wei's expression gradually became gloomy.

People at Zhonghui's level, if they can't do what they say, they will be ridiculed by the world.

"Does your master have something else to say?"

"My lord is just reminding the general to be careful." The envoy clasped his hands.

"Go back and tell the master of the Ni family, thank you for the reminder, but Hanzhong doesn't need him to worry, he will have his own strategy to defeat the enemy!" Jiang Wei said in a deep voice.

"Let's retire."

"No delivery."

After the envoy left, Jiang Wei took out the letter and read it again.

"Yang'an, Han, and Le are as solid as gold, and have enough soldiers and food. Even if they have an army of [-], they will not be able to attack from the outside!" Huang Chong said intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Wei seemed to be reminded, "If you can't be breached from the outside, then you can break through from the inside?"

These days, the news of Zhong Hui's frequent letters to Jiang Bin has already spread.

Isn't Zhong Hui a restrained person who will make huge waves even if he has nothing to do? How can he not publicize the letter between him and Jiang Bin?

Huang Chong is a native of Yizhou, while Jiang Bin is a scholar of Jingzhou. The two sides competed openly and secretly.

However, Jiang Bin surrendered to Zhong Hui, which was impossible no matter how you looked at it.

The Kingdom of Shu is destroyed, and the Jingzhou faction will not benefit much. Jiang Bin's family is all in Chengdu...

What's more, the soldiers in the city may not follow Jiang Bin to join the enemy.

"This must be because Zhong Hui's strong attack is not good, and he deliberately disturbed our army's morale." Jiang Wei said.

"Although this is the case, we must guard against it. If Yang'an, Han, and Le are destroyed, all three will be destroyed. Zhonghui is not good at using troops, but he is very good at conspiracy!" Huang Chong helped Erliang Jinxian crown.

Jiang Wei took a few steps. In fact, after Duan Gu's defeat and Hu Ji's failure, he really didn't trust the Jingzhou faction, otherwise he would not have given the most important Yang'an pass to his confidants to defend.

The Kingdom of Shu is a dilapidated ship with leaks everywhere, and no one knows what the people on board are thinking.

Hu Ji's blow to Jiang Wei was too great, and the damage to Shu was also great.

"Even if Seoul falls, with Yang'an locked in, Zhonghui is still the softshell! Yang Zheng sent Zhonghui's letter to me, it may not be An's kindness!" Jiang Wei finally strengthened his judgment.

Huang Chonggong cupped his hands, "The general has far-reaching thoughts, and I am too late. Now that Huang Hao is here, I am afraid that the food and grass will be lost. I will return to Chengdu immediately."
