Editing of the ten loyal ministers and the emperors standing up

Chapter 38 Right General Zhuge Liang
Above the sky, the curtain slowly unfolded.

General Zhuge led [-] soldiers and horses, known as one hundred thousand, and attacked Chencang in a mighty manner.

You read that right, it’s not Prime Minister Zhuge, but General Zhuge.

Because after the failure of the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang demoted himself to the third level and his position was changed from prime minister to right general.

Only more than half a year had passed since the failure of the first Northern Expedition. Zhuge Liang actually used troops again, and did not leave Qishan again, but took the Chencang Road.

When watching "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I have the misconception that the Shu Han always used troops in the Northern Expedition, and the Soochow Wu used soy sauce.

The State of Wei regarded the Shu Han as a serious threat and paid little attention to the State of Wu.

The historical reality is that the Wei-Wu battlefield has always been the main battlefield of the Three Kingdoms, similar to the Soviet-German battlefield in World War II;

The Wei-Shu battlefield was similar to the North African battlefield. Although it was important, it was definitely not the main battlefield.

The scale and intensity of the wars between Wei and Wu were mostly stronger than those between Wei and Shu.

The troops accumulated by Wei State on the front line of Soochow were at least 10,000+ people;
Wei's permanent troops in the Yongliang area were less than [-] at their peak.
Even including the neighboring Guanzhong Group, the total strength never exceeded [-].

The Central Plains are mostly plains. If one point is broken through, it is completely possible militarily for rapid mobile troops to suddenly attack the core areas such as Luoyang and Yecheng.

Therefore, when Guan Yu flooded seven armies and the situation in Xiangyang was unfavorable, Cao Cao considered moving the capital to avoid his attack, which was not cowardly.

Assuming that if Xiangyang is captured and the Nanyang Basin is undefendable, Xuchang will be directly exposed to Guan Yu's attack range.

The main direction of the Northern Expedition of the Shu Han Dynasty was Longyou. Even if it was lost, it could still rely on Guanzhong to hold on and reach the core area of ​​Cao Wei in a short while.

It is clear which of the two countries Wu and Shu poses the greater threat.

Therefore, most of the time, Cao Wei adopted the deployment of "defend in the west and attack in the east".
In the western theater, the number of troops was less than that of the Shu Han, and they were basically on the defensive.

……

Below Chencang City, the sound of fierce fighting came!
Countless menacing Han troops appeared in this small town one after another.

Countless soldiers pushed the battering ram and smashed it hard against the dilapidated city gate of Chencang, splashing dust.

Cao Wei general Hao Zhao not only strengthened the city defenses, but even personally supervised the front line and commanded the soldiers to repel the Han army.

There was a shortage of rolling logs and stones in the city, so he even tore up other people's coffins and used them to defend the city.

Outside the city, a deputy general reported:
"Report, Your Excellency Prime Minister, we have lost hundreds of troops and horses, but we still failed to capture Chencang."

Prime Minister Zhuge gently shook his feather fan and said calmly:

"I am the right general, not a prime minister. Please pass on the order and the entire army will step up the offensive. We must frighten Cao's army."

"promise!"

Above the sky, more than 20 days passed in the blink of an eye.

But Chencang is still in Cao Wei's hands, and the city has become a river of blood, a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.
Even the momentum of the Han army was reduced a lot, and the offensive in the past few days has gradually weakened.

Prime Minister Zhuge was still calm and calm.

However, some people couldn't sit still, and the fighting sounds were filled with taunting barrages:
[Hahaha, is this Zhuge Villager? Can't a 30-strong army defeat a few thousand people? 】

[Stop the Northern Expedition, go home and nurse your children! 】

【Who are you?

I will scare you when I say my name. I am the right general, and so is Zhuge Liang. 】

[Han Xin: No way, no way, there is really someone who can’t even capture a Chen Cang, right? 】

[Zhuge Liang is not as good as Hao Zhao of Wei State. Based on his commanding ability, I feel that commanding 500 people is considered exceptional. No wonder he lost the five Northern Expeditions. 】Some people want to speak for Prime Minister Zhuge, but they can’t find a point to refute.

Because the current behavior of Prime Minister Zhuge seems to be to disregard human life and let the soldiers under him die for nothing!
Wouldn't this be too stupid?
Daqin,

Young Master Fusu looked at Prime Minister Zhuge with a worried look. As Mr. Zhuge's little fanboy, he had naturally put himself on the side of the big man.

He looked a little disappointed and said to Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng:
"Father, Mr. Zhuge hasn't recovered from the defeat of the first Northern Expedition? Since we can't conquer it, why don't we change places or think of other ways?"

Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng looked at Prime Minister Zhuge who was taking his time. Although he didn't know what medicine was being sold in the gourd,

But... Judging from the other party's calm demeanor, the other party is confident and may have other back-ups.

Then, Ying Zheng smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter, just look at it calmly, maybe there will be a turning point."

Seeing what his father said, Young Master Fusu could only turn his attention to Prime Minister Zhuge to see how he would respond.

The big man, Prince Liu Zhi, also felt depressed. He said impatiently:
"Father, Chen Cang is too difficult to fight. Prime Minister Zhuge can't do anything to him. What should we do?
General Huo, what would you do if you came to attack the city? "

Huo Qubing and Liu Che both glanced at the prince Liu Zhi. The two looked at each other slightly, and Liu Che said with a smile:

"My Captain Huo, how should you break the situation?"

Huo Qubing smiled and said:

"It's not that Prime Minister Zhuge couldn't attack the city, it's just because the preparations were too hasty. In Yichen's opinion, Prime Minister Zhuge may not have the intention to capture Chencang at all."

"Oh! What do you think my General Huo has to say? Come quickly!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che became interested, so he smiled and asked,
"Mr. Zhuge raised his army in a hurry. Although he claimed to have an army of 30, he was afraid that it was only [-]/[-].
Coupled with the lack of food and grass, the preparations were not sufficient, and there were no siege equipment. However, Cao Wei had already prepared, so Chencang could not be captured at all. "

Huo Qubing said confidently.

"This... General Huo, how can Prime Minister Zhuge win? When reinforcements arrive, isn't Prime Minister Zhuge finished?"

Liu Ju said with a worried look.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che patted the prince on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Ju'er, couldn't Prime Minister Zhuge have thought of the things you can think of? There will be a good show soon."

……

Ji Han!

Zhang Fei started shouting with a loud voice, and he said a little unconvinced:
"Military advisor, thank you for teaching us how to use our brains and strategies to fight. Why are you so confused in the future?
It's still because I don't have Lao Zhang. From now on, the main vanguard general will still be given to me, Lao Zhang. I will teach you how to attack the city. "

Zhuge Liang smiled instead of being angry. He shook the feather fan in his hand and asked with a smile:
"Oh, then I dare to ask the third general how to teach me, why teach me Kong Ming?"

Zhang Fei looked like a teachable child, patted his chest and pointed:

"Military advisor, no, I, Lao Zhang, was bragging back then. When you and I entered Sichuan together, how difficult was this Sichuan-Sichuan land to conquer?

It's not like we, Lao Zhang, are allowed to enter Sichuan a few steps ahead. It's up to you to make suggestions, but when it comes to actual combat, it has to be rough guys like us. "

"Hahaha!"

The generals of the Shu Han Dynasty were all very happy. They couldn't help laughing when they saw the second general's tail jumping into the sky.

Liu Bei glared at him, but Zhang Fei responded with a playful smile.

"Brother, why are you glaring at me? Even if you are glaring at me, I am still better than the military advisor."
