The last three kingdoms

Chapter 281 Continue to Tear

Huo Yi has been guarding Nanzhong for many years, and he is famous and feared by all the barbarians.Huo Yi was transferred to be the prefect of Yongchang during the Yanxi period. The local Yi tribe's generals rebelled. Huo Yi sent out surprise troops to attack them.Therefore, Huo Yi's prestige in Nanzhong is the result of real swords and guns. Although Huo Yi only controls 4 horses, none of the barbarians in the Southwest with [-] troops dare to act rashly.

With Huo Yi's deterrence, Liu Chan's appeasement policy was implemented quite smoothly. The leaders of the tribes accepted the imperial court's titles, and they all settled down. The most troublesome thing that I thought was the most troublesome matter was handled very easily, but The ministers of Shangshutai were deeply surprised.

However, the surrender of the barbarians was undoubtedly a beneficial thing for the Shuhan Dynasty, which was in an eventful autumn. The situation in Nanzhong quickly stabilized.

Although he left Shuzhong, Liu Yin paid unusual attention to the situation in Shuzhong.In order to keep abreast of the information in Sichuan, Liu Yin asked the people in the Lieutenant's Mansion to provide a report every three days. In case of important information, it must be reported on the same day.

The Zhongwei Mansion has its own intelligence system. Although all the people in Sichuan have moved south, the intelligence agency of the Zhongwei Mansion has never stopped operating. Every three days of routine reporting, the staff of the Zhongwei Mansion who stay in Shu will collect The intelligence is sorted out and analyzed, and sent to Nanzhong with a fast horse. If a particularly important event occurs, the intelligence will be sent overnight to ensure its timeliness.

Although Shu and Nanzhong are separated by two thousand miles, the special information transmission system of the Zhongwei Mansion can still ensure that it will be delivered to Weicheng within three days, so Liu Yin has always been well aware of the situation in Shuzhong.

Everything did not go beyond Liu Yin's expectations. On the ruins of Chengdu, Wei and Wu started a new round of war.

Lu Kang, the coach of the Wu army who initiated the provocation this time, may be because Lu Kang feels that the combat capability of the Wu army in the plains is weaker than that of the Wei army. It was decided to adopt a pre-emptive strike mode and launched an attack on the Xiahouxian Department of the Wei Army stationed at Qinglongba.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhonghui to ignore it. Just when Liu Yin set up an ambush on Tiedengshan to wipe out Panghui, the battle between Wei and Wu for the ruins of Chengdu began in an all-round way.

The battle between the two sides in Chengdu lasted for a month, with many casualties and exhaustion.The battle of Chengdu spread, and the garrisons of both sides in Fucheng and Luocheng were also involved in the melee, and a full-scale confrontation was launched in the land of central Shu.

When the war has reached this level, no one is willing to take half a step back. If you win, you will occupy the land of Shu, and if you lose, you will get nothing. Obviously, Zhong Hui and Lu Kang are not willing to lose their troops and return to the capital empty-handed. It's a showdown.

As for the peace talks, it was a complete joke that the two sides would divide the land of Shu equally. In Zhong Hui and Lu Kang's minds, they both aimed to win the whole of Yizhou. Half of Yizhou was meaningless to them.

The annexation of Yizhou by the Wei State is equivalent to opening the west gate of the Wu State, sharing the danger of the Yangtze River, and laying a good foundation for the next step of unifying the world.If Wu Guoquan takes Yizhou, then Zhuge Liang's grand blueprint can be realized—no, it is even more grand than Zhuge Liang's blueprint. What Zhuge Liang hopes is to cross Jingyi. Going out of Jingxiang in the east, the world can be settled.And Wu Guo won Yizhou, which undoubtedly firmly occupied half of the country, which was more ambitious than Zhuge Liang's idea. Not only could he go out of Jingyi in two ways, but he could also go out in Huainan in three ways, and he could win the Central Plains, just around the corner.

Therefore, as far as the negotiation and the two parties are concerned, they are all seeking skins from tigers. Both Zhong Hui and Lu Kang can be regarded as ambitious people, and they will not give up until they win the entire Yizhou.

In this battle in central Sichuan, not only the general's ingenuity and the morale of the army were contested, but also many contests including logistics. The protracted delay of the war was a severe test for the fragile and long logistics supply lines of both sides.

The supply line of the Wei army is longer than that of the Wu army. It starts from Guanzhong in the north, enters Hanzhong through Ziwu Road or the inclined road, and then enters Shuzhong through Yang'anguan and Jiange. Arriving in Chengdu, the entire logistics supply line stretches for thousands of miles.In ancient times, it was said that grain was not transported for thousands of miles. The Wei State also had a profound foundation. It did not hesitate to send grain, grass and military supplies to the front line in Chengdu. If it was the Shu State, it would have been dragged down by the logistics transportation.

Although Wei Jun's supply line is long, but because it is between the mountains and the rear, there is no need to worry about Wu Jun going to rob the road to block it, and Zhong Hui has no worries for the time being.

However, Zhong Hui became interested in Wu Jun's logistics transportation line. He sent Tian Xu to take a detour to conquer Qixian County, intending to take Guanghan and Deyang eastward and cut off the Wu Jun waterway transportation channel on Fushui.Although the Wei army did not have a water army comparable to the Wu army, Zhong Hui believed that the Fu River was not too wide. As long as the Wei army could control the two sides of the Fu water, the purpose of cutting off the Wu army's waterway traffic could be achieved.

From this point of view, Zhong Hui's thoughts coincided with what Liu Yin thought at the beginning. It was only because Huang Hao was behind him that the Shu army missed the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

At present, the waterway transportation channel of Fushui supports the entire Wu army's grain transportation channel. If there is a loss, not only the defenders in Fucheng will have no food, but even the main force of the Wu army participating in the battle in Chengdu will be in desperation.The Wei army conquered Qi County, which made Lu Kang really feel threatened.

What's more, after fighting in Chengdu for a month, Wu's army was at a disadvantage in cavalry combat. As the war dragged on, the situation became more and more unfavorable for Wu's army. After defeating Zhonghui in Chengdu, the plan to win the capital of Shu failed in the end. , in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, Lu Kang had no choice but to lead the army back, and the troops were divided into two groups, retreating northward to Luocheng and eastward to Guanghan, giving up the battle for Chengdu.

However, they lost the east corner and harvested Sangyu. Although the Wu army failed to take all of Chengdu, they fought in the streets and streets for more than a month during the confrontation in Luocheng, and drove the Wei army out of Luocheng. The situation in which each city occupies half, and at the same time formed a three-point-one-line defense system of Fucheng, Mianzhu, and Luocheng, firmly controlling the middle section of Chenghan Avenue, threatening the Jiange to the north, looking at Chengdu from the south, and letting the The bell will be like a sting in the throat.

Although Zhonghui now monopolizes Chengdu, it is just a ruin. It has only symbolic meaning. The grain road detours around Wenshan Mountain, with twists and turns, and supply difficulties make Zhonghui miserable. Only by opening up the Chenghan Avenue can the grain road be smooth , To create conditions for further control of the entire Yizhou.
