The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1054

After mobilizing 3 troops, Du Yu had to shrink his troops on the front line. He gave up Xinye and Huyang, which were currently competing with the Shu army, and retreated in the direction of Wancheng, making preparations to defend Wancheng.

The sudden withdrawal of the Jin army in Xinye made Jiang Wei feel very inexplicable. It stands to reason that the battle between the two sides was very stalemate, and the Shu army did not have a clear upper hand. But at this critical moment, the Jin army suddenly chose to retreat. , is really puzzling.

But then Jiang Wei quickly found out the reason for Du Yu's retreat. The fighting in Luoyang was tight, and Sima Yan had to send troops from Nanyang, which is close to Luoyang, to support Luoyang to ensure the safety of the Yellow River defense line.Naturally, the Jin army, which had just mobilized 3 horses, could hardly maintain a fighting state on the front line of Xinye, so it was a helpless move to retreat to Wancheng.

Zhong Hui also got the news of the retreat of the Jin army, and he immediately rushed to Jiang Wei's camp to pay a visit to Jiang Wei.After Zhong Hui returned to Shu, he was named General Zhenxi and still commanded the old army. Although Zhong Hui was completely under the control of General Jiang Wei, the army he commanded was independent of Jiang Wei's army. Not mixed.

"General, this is great news!" Zhong Hui said to Jiang Wei with a smile as soon as he entered the tent.

Jiang Wei smiled slightly and said, "General Zhong also got the news of Du Yu's withdrawal?"

Zhong Hui said: "That's right, I heard the news of Du Yu's withdrawal, and came here to congratulate the general. For several months, the two sides fought fiercely in Xinye, and there was no winner. Now the battle in Luoyang is tense, and Sima Yan has dispatched Du Yu's troops. 3 people went to Luoyang to support. Now Du Yu is alone. It is a good time for the general to march and sweep the cities of Nanyang. The general should march as soon as possible and take Wancheng as soon as possible. The Han Dynasty. At this very moment, please don’t hesitate, the general, otherwise, if someone else takes the lead, what will the general’s face be?"

Jiang Wei's complexion changed slightly, and he said, "Why did General Zhong say that? I, Jiang Wei, have inherited the behest of Prime Minister Zhuge all my life, and I take it as my duty to revive the Han Dynasty. No matter who can capture Luoyang, it is my great fortune. As for My Jiang Wei's face is nothing to worry about!"

Zhong Hui said with a smile: "General, don't misunderstand, I have no intention of sowing dissension. Liu Huan rode across the north, sweeping the world, and now Luoyang is in his pocket. Such meritorious deeds, with the latitude and longitude of the world, there is probably no one in the world Can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Nowadays, the people in the world talk about the most successful person in destroying the Jin Dynasty, and it is Liu Huanqi, but people don't know that if there is no general in Yizhou to maintain the overall situation and contain the main forces of Wei and Wu. How can he accomplish such a feat? Of course, the general is open-minded and high-spirited, so he naturally has no intention of competing for merit with Liu Huanqi. The world is stupid and does not know the real talents, so they will have some prejudices."

Jiang Wei said indifferently: "The old man is over seventy years old, and he has long been a man covered with loess. His only long-cherished wish in this life is to see with his own eyes that the king of the Han Dynasty can run rampant in the streets of Luoyang, and the banner of the Han Dynasty is flying over the city of Luoyang. This can be a comfort. Prime Minister Zhuge's spirit in heaven, even if I die, I will have no regrets."

Zhong Huidao: "The general devoted his whole life to the Han Dynasty. After his death, he conquered Luoyang. , When you step into Luoyang City, that will be what everyone expects. I would like to help the General, clear all obstacles for the General, and take down Luoyang City."

Rejuvenating the Han Dynasty and returning the old capital is Jiang Wei's long-cherished wish in his life. For this wish, he has devoted almost his whole life. Now that victory is in sight, Jiang Wei is naturally very excited. Of course, if he can personally lead this A victory, then Jiang Wei's life will be brilliant and splendid.

Zhong Hui's suggestion really moved Jiang Wei's heart. It would be such a beautiful thing to jump a horse in Luoyang City. If it was possible, Jiang Wei would naturally do his part.

"Then according to Shiji's intention, what should we do?"

Zhong Huidao: "Now Liu Hussar's army is Chen Bing on the north bank of the Yellow River, very close to Luoyang. Once Liu Hussars breaks through the Yellow River defense line, Luoyang City will be at your fingertips. If the general entangles with Du Yu in Wancheng for too long, he will inevitably Losing the opportunity, in view of his inferior position, the general might as well divide his troops into two groups, one to continue to deal with Du Yu in Wancheng, and the other to march northward, detour Luyang, and go straight to Luoyang. Perhaps the general's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled. As long as Luoyang is captured, Du Yuqi's army will inevitably collapse, and there will be no danger."

Jiang Wei pondered for a moment, and said: "Shi Ji's words are reasonable, and we can act according to the plan." So Jiang Wei ordered Jiang Bin, Wang She and others to lead an army to besiege Wancheng, and he himself led an army of [-] with Zhong Hui, and detoured to Luyang. Go straight to Luoyang.

Naturally, the movements of the Shu army could not be concealed from Lu Kang who was not far away in Yiyang.Now that the world is in turmoil, Sima Jin's demise is irreversible, which also makes Lu Kang feel a deep sense of crisis. The reason why the Three Kingdoms have coexisted for such a long time is because of the power of a tripod.

The three-legged confrontation itself pursues a balance, and once this balance is broken, the pattern of the world will also undergo earth-shaking changes.

After Wu and Shu turned against each other, the relationship between them has never been repaired. Lu Kang will not think that after Shu conquers Luoyang and destroys Sima Jin, it will stop fighting and rule with Wu on the river without interfering with each other. The biggest possibility is that the Kingdom of Shu will take advantage of the victory, destroy the aura of Jin, swallow Wu in one fell swoop, and unify the world.

This is undoubtedly what Lu Kang is most worried about. Now the state of Wu is in the power of a foolish king, and the government is corrupt, while the national power of the state of Shu is booming, and it is changing rapidly. The once weakest state of Shu has now become the hegemony of the world, as strong as a servant Sima Jin finally fell, and Wu, who had always been mediocre, could hardly resist the fire of revenge from Shu.

Lu Kang's health has not been very good for the past two years, and he has been plagued by serious illnesses. He has been worried that he will die soon.Zuo Dasi Martin Feng had passed away two years ago, Zhenxi Governor Shi Ji also died of illness in the same year, Zuo Prime Minister Lu Kai died four years ago, Prime Minister Zhang Bu and Pu Yangxing were killed by Sun Hao, Dong Wu's famous generals and ministers died one after another, talents withered, and national strength declined. If he really fell, then Soochow would have no one who could resist Shu.

Therefore, when he heard that Jiang Wei's army was marching northward to Luoyang, Lu Kang gritted his teeth and got up from the bed, and hurriedly summoned the people in the future to discuss the military situation.
