The last three kingdoms

Chapter 121
The arrival of Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo gave Liu Yin a lot of confidence. Liu Yin's troops also increased from more than 500 people to more than 900 people. The combat unit of 1000 people has basically reached Liu Yin's level. Requirements, especially the [-] Yuan Rong crossbows brought by Zhang Le, are big killers in ambushes.

Zhang Jiajun and Zhao Jiajun compose one song, Anping Palace and Ma's private soldiers compose one song, and two songs compose one. Liu Yin's troops can be regarded as full-scale.Originally, Liu Yin had a troupe, and he could only be the chief conductor. Now that he has been promoted to a troop, the positions of the two chief conductors are naturally Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo, and Liu Yin has no objection to become the chief conductor.

Everything is ready, just waiting for October to come.Liu Yin doesn't want to act in a high-profile manner. After all, there are still a large number of Wei State spies all over the territory of Shu State, and any troubles may be known to them. Yin may be in vain.

Even if he went north, Liu Yin would claim that he was going to Jiange to help the defenders there. Anyway, Jiangyou was on his way to Jiange, and after arriving in Jiangyou, there was still time to change the itinerary.

This may confuse those low-level Wei spies, but the really powerful spies may have grasped Liu Yin's real movements, which undoubtedly worries Liu Yin the most.

I hope that the many barriers on the front line may hinder the transmission of information.

No matter what, Liu Yin's trip is already imperative, just waiting for the day of the opening.

The battle situation in Jiange fell into a stalemate. The Wei army was unable to attack by force and gradually became exhausted. Although Hanzhong Yang'an Pass was captured, the three key passes of Han, Le, and Huangjin were still in the hands of the Shu army. Many roving troops were active, constantly harassing the rear, and attacking the Wei army's transportation lines. This undoubtedly made the Wei army's logistics troops even worse because of the difficulty in transporting food and grass because of the difficult roads. , there are no scattered valleys in the wild, and the food in thousands of miles of counties is naturally exhausted."

This gave Zhong Hui a headache. The toughest battle is undoubtedly the most difficult to fight. To win Yang'an Pass, there is something of luck. If Jiang Shu hadn't rebelled in the city, Hu Lie would have no chance to take advantage of it. So far, Seoul, Lecheng The three major passes, Jin and Jin, are still under the control of the Shu army. These three passes are stuck on the main road of Mianshui, making Zhonghui feel like a thorn in his back.All the cities in Hanzhong are difficult to conquer, let alone Jianmenguan, which is ten times more dangerous, and most of the main force of Shu Kingdom is gathered here. It is almost impossible to win Jiange in a short time.

When Zhong Hui was unable to use force, he moved his pen again and wrote a letter to Jiang Wei, urging him to surrender: "The Duke uses the virtues of civil and martial arts, and embraces the strategy of the world. Far and near all return to their names. Every time in the past, we taste the same Dahua, Wu Zha, Zheng Qiao, can be compared to this."

Zhong Hui's literary talent is good, but unfortunately he used the wrong place. After Jiang Wei received the letter, he threw it into a charcoal basin and turned it into ashes without even reading it.

Seeing that the cold winter is approaching, 10,000+ Wei troops are crowded on the narrow valley road from Baishui to Jiange. Due to the geographical relationship, the huge number of Wei troops cannot be used at all, and the daily food and grass consumption of so many troops is also extremely alarming. For the second southern expedition, the State of Wei made sufficient preparations. The grain and grass collected in Guanzhong and Longxi alone was enough to feed 18 troops for a year.But no matter how much food and grass there is, there are still problems in the transportation link, and it still cannot solve the dilemma of food shortage on the front line.

Food and grass are scarce, and the morale of the army is naturally unstable. If you cannot attack for a long time, your morale will inevitably drop.

Seeing that he couldn't win the Jiange, Zhong Hui already had the idea of ​​retreating.However, this retreat is not a retreat to Guanzhong, but a retreat to Hanzhong.Except for the three golden cities of Hanle, Hanzhong has already fallen into the hands of Wei Jun. Zhong Hui returned to the army this time to solve the problems of these three cities and eliminate his worries.At the same time, you can also lure the snake out of the hole. Now that Jiang Wei is hiding in the Jiange and cannot come out, Zhong Hui has nothing to do with him. As long as the Wei army retreats, Jiang Wei will definitely come to pursue it. In the field battle, Zhong Hui can take advantage of the number of Wei troops. , Take advantage of the momentum to annihilate the chasing enemy.As long as most or part of Jiang Wei's troops can be eliminated, it will be much easier to take the Jiange.

If Jiang Wei continues to hide in the Jiange and cannot come out, it doesn't matter, as long as the Wei army eats the three points of Hanle gold, wipes out the remaining forces of Shu in Hanzhong, and guards Yang'an Pass, when the time comes, Shu will try again if it wants to counterattack Hanzhong. Beat the sky.

As long as the advanced base in Hanzhong is firmly in the hands of the State of Wei, it is tantamount to hanging over the head of the State of Shu, threatening the safety of the State of Shu at all times. On the one hand, the Wei army stationed troops in Hanzhong, On the one hand, large-scale requisition of food into Hanzhong, at that time the soldiers had enough food, wouldn't it be easy to attack Jiange again?
This planned clock meeting has been planned for a long time, and he has carefully considered every detail. It seems that tomorrow it is time to call the generals to discuss and announce the plan.

Taking retreat as an advance is probably the only effective solution Wei Jun can adopt now.Zhong Hui is confident that no one can come up with a better solution than his.

"Report to Commander-in-Chief, Deng Ai, General Zhengxi, begging to see him." At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the Chinese military officer came in to report.

"Deng Ai? What is he doing here?" Zhong Hui frowned slightly, and muttered, although Zhong Hui had the most soldiers and horses under his command this time, even more than the other two groups Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu combined. However, the large number of soldiers does not mean that Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu have to obey him. The three armies are completely independent of each other.

This kind of arrangement was completely made by Sima Zhao. What kind of person is Sima Zhao? Avoid surprises.Sima Zhao is very clear about how the Sima family got his seat. Many people have no ambitions, but no opportunities. As long as there is an opportunity, no matter how loyal the servant is, he will show his minions.

Regardless of Zhonghui or Deng Ai, these people are chess pieces in Sima Zhao's hands, used to attack cities and take the lead, but Sima Zhao is equally wary that one day these chess pieces no longer want to be chess pieces but want to be chess players. Since the Sima family can steal the world from the Cao family, how can they allow the second Sima family to appear.

Of course, the war has not yet been decided. Even if Zhong Hui is an ambitious person, he will not reveal it at this moment. What he thinks more about now is how to compete with Deng Ai, and the three-way army will conquer Shu. Whoever conquers Chengdu first will win the battle. It was the first achievement, and Zhong Hui naturally refused to give up such an opportunity to others.

"Please!" Zhong Hui straightened his clothes and greeted him personally.
