Chapter 525 Zhuge
Zhonghui is short of food, and Jiange is also short of food.

Under Jiang Wei's urging, Chengdu continued to send them up one after another.

But in this way, food for Zhuge Zhan's [-] army was also difficult.

Among the 6000 troops, there are only more than [-] who are truly worthy of a battle, and the others are all young and strong.

However, important towns such as Mianzhuguan and Fucheng are still in the hands of the Shu army.

The Liang army came across mountains and rivers, and it was not conducive to a long battle. As long as Zhuge Zhan guarded Fucheng or Mianzhuguan, it would be fine.

The difficulty is not great.

It doesn't even need so many people at all.

Jiang Wei resisted Zhonghui's army of more than [-] in Jiange, but the army of less than [-], defended imperceptibly.

Therefore, the Shu Kingdom did not take this lonely army in depth too seriously.

It is a big joke that the Liang army with less than [-] troops wants to destroy the big man.

Zhonghui's 12 troops never even captured Hanzhong, and only captured Yang'an Pass.

Zhuge Zhan is in a good mood. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and finally has a place to use his skills.

The right time, place and people are all in hand, so there is no reason.

"I heard that Du Yuankai is also a scholar. All the generals in Liangzhou, except Yang Zheng, is this person. This time I will kill Liangzhou!" This is the first time Zhuge Zhan led an army, and he was praised too much , so self-esteem is also very high.

"Does father have a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Zhuge Shang was also infected by Zhuge Zhan's optimism.

"Hmph, Du Yufengxue sneaked across the seven hundred miles to Yinping, and came across the mountains. He must be exhausted, so our army is fighting fast, and we can't give him a chance to breathe!" Zhuge Zhan had already made a plan.

The [-] army against the [-] exhausted division, the chances of winning are too great.

The Jingzhou faction has not had a bright future for so many years. As long as they win this battle, Zhuge Zhan can lead the Jingzhou scholars to rise again.

As the legitimate son of Zhuge Wuhou, this is Zhuge Zhan's natural mission.

Compared with the northwest, Sichuan in the first month is too warm and humid.

Zhuge Zhan wore Mingguang armor inside and a brocade robe outside, riding a Liangzhou horse, stepping on the spring soil, with infinite longing in his heart.

His father also faced such many crises back then, and then tried his best to turn the tide...

"No, General Wei!" At this moment, Zhuge Zhan's dream was interrupted directly by one person.

When Zhuge Zhan turned around, it was Shang Shulang Huang Chong, a scholar from Yizhou, "Oh? Why not?"

"Du Yu's soldiers were not inferior to Lu Xun's in the past. During the battle in Guanzhong, he was able to easily defeat [-] Hebei cavalry with [-] cavalry among the [-] Wei army. Our army only needs to occupy the dangerous areas around Fu County by force. When the enemy’s food is exhausted, we can naturally capture it in one battle. Why risk a decisive battle with it? If it is unfavorable, the Mianzhu pass will not be guaranteed, and the Liang army will go deep into the plains, and the big man will be in danger!”

Huang Chong said a lot in one breath, completely ignoring Zhuge Zhan's gradually gloomy face.

First of all, Huang Chong is a scholar from Yizhou, so there is a gap between him and Zhuge Zhan.

Secondly, Lu Xun is a hurdle in the hearts of Shu people.

Finally, if Du Yu is Lu Xun, then who is Zhuge Zhan...

Zhuge Zhan stared at Huang Chong coldly for a long time, making the surrounding atmosphere a little colder unconsciously.

The people sent by Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, are also very strange. Only Zhuge Zhan and his son are Jingzhou scholars, Huang Chong and Li Qiu (Li Hui’s nephew) are Yizhou scholars, Zhang Zun is the son of Zhang Fei, and Yuan Cong is a member of the family. , is also Liu Chan's nephew.

Although the military power has been given, as usual, they still restrict each other.

"A [-] army can't control [-] thieves. How can I see Your Majesty and the people of Chengdu?" Zhuge Zhan was well-educated since he was a child, and he was not angry.

Huang Chong let out a long sigh, stopped talking, and took the initiative to fall behind.

Zhuge Shang said in a low voice: "Huang Chongzhi's words are quite suitable for the situation, why doesn't father use it?"

Zhuge Zhan shook his head, "Jiang Wei's [-] troops are stationed in Jiange, and my [-] troops are going to Mianzhu. Chengdu is short of food and grass. If we can't win Du Yu quickly, Chengdu will definitely be out of support."

"Since there is no food and grass, why do we need [-] troops? Thousands of soldiers and horses can defend Mianzhu and Fucheng."

"No, the two thieves Jiang Shu and Ma Miao surrendered, Yang'an and Jiangyou fell, and the country was in decline. A big victory was needed to boost morale, so I had to do this as a father. You and my father and son must lead the way in this battle. Lost the reputation of the ancestors!"

"The thieves think that our country is weak, so this time I want them to see the bravery of the great man!" Zhuge Shang clenched his long spear tightly.

The army rushed to Fucheng aggressively.

At this time Du Yu also sent troops to the south.

Huang Chong persuaded again, "Liang people are good at field warfare, and now there is a dangerous city of Xiongguan, why bother to fight with the enemy? Even if you want to fight, you should first seize the land."

Zhuge Zhan still didn't listen.

Zhuge Zhan sent vanguards to attack the Liang army, but the Liang army occupied the ground first. With Tian Zhang, Tian Xu, and Li Te as the vanguard, within an hour of the battle, the Shu army collapsed on its own. After a hard fight, seeing the brave people of Liang, the situation was not good, the young and strong in Chengdu took the lead in fleeing, causing the stalemate to collapse, giving the Liang army a chance to make a big advance.

For a while, the wind swept away.

Black tides flow over hills, rivers, woodlands...

The Shu army was invincible and only knew how to flee.

Zhuge Zhan looked from the top of the city, and saw Liang's army spread all over the mountains and plains, and their momentum was overwhelming. Zhuge Zhan was raised in the land of splendor since he was a child. How has he ever seen such a killing spirit?Seeing that the soldiers around him had no fighting spirit, and knowing that they could not defend themselves, they abandoned Fucheng and retreated to Mianzhu.

Liang's army drove straight in without resting for a moment, and they reached Mianzhu pass in three or four days.

Swords and guns are full of mountains and fields, and murderous aura moves in the sky.

Dark clouds overwhelmed the city, the sun shone coldly, and the roar was like thunder.

The Shu army who closed Mianzhu Pass was terrified.

Hundreds of heavy-backed soldiers from the Liang army lined up at the pass with swords, mocking that there is no one in Shu, and that the son of Zhuge Wuhou is just mediocre!

Zhuge Zhan's face was as red as blood. Those who inherit fame must be burdened by fame. Zhuge Wuhou got a son when he was old. Zhuge Zhan was the proud son of heaven when he was born, and countless people looked up to him.

To become an official is to ride the captain, marry the princess, and become the Marquis of Wuxiang at a young age.

Smart since childhood, but little practice.

In his eyes, he would rather die in battle and lose Mianzhuguan, and Zhuge Wuhou's reputation would not be tarnished in the slightest.

Seeing that the troops were discouraged, they still decided to fight, "Your Majesty has received great kindness from the great man, and the country is in danger now. Why should we be afraid of death!"

Huang Chong persuaded with tears in his eyes, "Mianzhuguan is the last barrier of the Han Dynasty. Chengdu is extremely empty. Why go to war?"

However, Zhuge Zhan seemed to be possessed by a demon, "If you can't kill the cold thief, the big man will also perish!"

As soon as the word death was uttered, everyone around was stunned.

Because he told everyone's secret.

The current situation of the Shu Kingdom is indeed not good.

These years of fighting again and again, the country has long been exhausted.

Jiang Wei had no choice but to gather troops to gather in the valley, withdraw the Qinling defenders and occupy the city.

Now, the Kingdom of Shu has reached its limit to support not only Jiang Wei's [-] troops, but also Zhuge Zhan's [-] troops.

Not to mention that the Lord of Shu is still having fun with Huang Hao at this time, ignoring state affairs.

Zhuge Zhan drew his sword and raised his sword. The man who has never been angry is also furious today, "Those who do not obey orders, beheaded!"
