contend

Chapter 507
The snow in Hanzhong comes from Guanzhong first.

The cold wind blew for several days, and the mountains, rivers and cities were all covered with silver.

The Shu army, accustomed to the warmth and moistness in the middle of Shu, was slightly uncomfortable with the severe cold weather, and shivered on the hills.

Jiang Wei guarded the Jiange, thus guarding half of the country of Shu.

Han, Le Ercheng and Huangjinwei are still holding on.

Zhong Hui's army was stationed at Yang'an Pass and stood still. Wang Jun led [-] people to confront Jiange.

Like Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui was also waiting for something.

"The duke, with the virtues of civil and military, cherishes the strategy of the world, and contributes to Ba, Han, and Huaxia, and he is famous from far and near. Every time he goes back to the past, he tastes the same as Dahua. Wu Zha and Zheng Qiao can compare him well. Boyo is more famous than Zhongtu, and he can't win in Gongxi and Taichu."

Zhong Hui expressed his admiration for Jiang Wei in his letter.

This is the fifth letter from Zhonghui since the confrontation.

"Zhong Hui is full of flattering words, so he must have something in mind!" After Dong Jue read the letter, his face became strange.

Since Zhonghui paid homage to Zhuge Wuhou's tomb, the Jingzhou generals felt very close to Zhonghui.

Jiang Bin, Wang Han and others will often communicate with him by letter.

"It's just a trick of arrogant soldiers." Jiang Wei didn't care.

It is well known that Zhong Huixi made friends with celebrities.

War is war, friendship is friendship.

"Bo Yue can no longer exchange letters with Zhong Hui. If this matter gets to Huang Hao's ears, there will be disputes again, which will be disadvantageous to the front line." Dong Jue reminded.

Jiang Wei sighed, "How can the front line be disadvantaged?"

Jiang Shu surrendered to the enemy, Fu Qian died in battle, Yang'an Pass was lost, and the strategy of gathering troops and gathering valleys was in vain. Jiang Wei was already exhausted.

Even if the war bell will retreat and Jiang Wei returns to Chengdu, he will definitely be attacked by Huang Hao's party.

Now that there is no one available in the Kingdom of Shu, it is only necessary to put aside the conflict for the time being.

Dong Jue was taken aback, "The state affairs are difficult, I hope Boyue cheers up."

Jiang Wei didn't answer, but picked up a pen and wrote on the silk.

Dong Jue stopped talking, lost Hanzhong, and the gate of Shu was opened. Although Jiange is a natural danger, the way to attack Shu is not the only way to Jiange.

In addition to Jinniu Road guarded by Jiange, Micang Road and Ziwu Ancient Road, you can go south to Bazhong.

In fact, the Wei army did not need to go south at all. As long as a certain force was maintained in Hanzhong, Shu would have to defend heavily, which could not be exhausted with the national strength of Shu.

Huang Hao came to power, and the government and the public were in a mess.

People's hearts are already in chaos.

Especially the suppressed local scholars in Yizhou, they never wanted to go to the Northern Expedition, and they never wanted to restore the great Han. They just wanted to guard an acre of three-point land. Lord, it makes no difference to them.

It is not scary for a small country to be weak, and if one is united, one may not be unable to turn the tide.

But the country is small and weak, and it is still divided internally, so it can only be broken.

Jiang Wei couldn't see many things, but standing in the position of Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, he was very clear.

Moreover, there are many contradictions within the Jingzhou faction. Luo Xian, who was born in Jingzhou, worships Qiao Zhou, a scholar from Yizhou, as his teacher, and Yan Yu takes refuge in Huang Hao...

In the final analysis, after Dong Yun, Jiang Wan, and Fei Yi passed away, Jingzhou scholars had no one who could take the lead.

After a while, Jiang Wei had written a letter, eloquently.

Show it to Dong Jue.

"I heard that you have come from Huainan, and you have no plans left. Wei Dao's success is all the power of the king. Husband Han Xin did not betray the Han to harass, so that he saw doubts in the peace, and the doctor did not follow Fan Li in Wuhu. If you die, how can you secretly master a foolish minister? Interests and harms make it so. Now that you have made great achievements and achieved great virtues, why not follow Tao Zhugong to go boating and disappear, with all your efforts to protect yourself, climb the mountains of Emei, and swim through the red pine? "

This turned out to be a resignation letter.

Han Xin didn't know how to retreat and died tragically at the hands of a woman. Fan Li went boating on the five lakes, retired after success, and enjoyed wealth and honor in peace.

"How could Zhong Huizheng retreat when he is in the prime of his life and his ambition has not been fulfilled?" Dong Jue asked doubtfully.

Seeing Jiang Wei's serious face, Dong Jue read it again, "Bo Yue's words were not meant to persuade him to quit, but to provoke him. Could it be that... Zhong will turn his back on him?"

"It depends on the battle in Guanzhong."

"The battle in Guanzhong? Can Yang Zheng defeat Sima Zhao? Boyue really thinks highly of this man."

Jiang Wei shook his head, "Liang people endure the bitter cold, and 10,000 cavalry come and go freely. If Sima Zhao's [-]+ army can't subdue Yang Zheng, it must be subdued by Yang Zheng!"

Dong Jue was surprised at first, and after careful consideration, he figured out the meaning behind it, "That's right, Sima used deceitful force to take Wei Zuo, if he can do it, others can follow suit!"

In fact, no matter whether Sima Zhao wins or loses, Zhong Hui must have a different heart.

After losing, Sima Zhao's reputation and prestige declined severely.

If he wins, Zhong Hui will attack Shu and Liang, and he will also stand on the cusp...

Yang'an Pass.

After Zhong Hui received Jiang Wei's letter, he was overjoyed, "It is Jiang Wei who knows me in the world!"

Jiang Wei's letter accurately hit Zhong Hui's hidden worries.

Now Sima Zhao is nine out of forty, while Zhong Hui is only thirty-five.

The bad influence of Sima Yi's seizure of power is very far-reaching.

A person who lived a long time, was resourceful, and made meritorious deeds was bound to be a threat to the next generation.

In the history of the Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, the slander of "An Zhi Tan Dao Ji Fei Sima Zhongda Ye" scared Emperor Wen of Song Dynasty to destroy the Great Wall himself.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing made great military achievements. During the expedition to Goguryeo, Li Jing was ill and asked to resign for fear of accidents on the way. Emperor Taizong said directly: How could it be?Wasn't Sima Yi old and sick back then, and he made great contributions to the Wei Dynasty...

Li Jing was so frightened that he kept rolling and crawling, so he changed his mind and wanted to go with all his might...

Sima Yi directly pierced the thin window paper between the monarch and his ministers.

Since then, there have been endless incidents of killing heroes in all dynasties.

In terms of background, Zhong Hui was born in the Yingchuan gentry, and he was more rooted in Zhengmiaohong than Sima Zhao.

Now with the merits of Hanzhong and the 12 people under his command, as long as he is a human being, he will inevitably have other thoughts in his heart.

If Sima Zhao was as talented and broad-minded as Sima Yi, or as brutal as Sima Shi, he would be able to restrain Zhong Hui.

But Sima Zhao is much worse than his father and brother.

What's more, Zhong Hui has never been a person who follows the rules.

How similar is Zhonghui now to Sima Yi back then?

At this time Xun Kai coughed twice, and Zhong Hui's narrow eyes swept over, "The chaos of Guanqiu Jian is the credit of Ziyuan, and the chaos of Zhuge Dan is the credit of the prime minister. If you can wipe out Wu and Shu Liang, you will be extinct in boating, roaming freely in the rivers and lakes, and make friends with famous people all over the world."

"The ambition of the governor is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people!" Xun Kai praised.

The two are about the same age, but Zhong Hui is two generations older than Xun Kai.

Xun Kai's uncle, Xun Xu, is Zhong Hui's nephew. Both of them were born in Yingchuan gentry. According to common sense, they should be regarded as "family".

But Xun Kai's identity is quite complicated. His mother is the eldest daughter of Sima Yi, that is to say, Xun Kai is Sima Zhao's nephew, and he is born close to Sima by blood.

Sima Zhao sent his nephew to be the guard, which was to guard against Zhong Hui.

The water in Wei State is both muddy and deep.
