The last three kingdoms

Chapter 282 Three Kingdoms Melee
The end of the Battle of Chengdu does not mean the end of the war in Central Shu, but it is intensifying. Attacked Guanghan and Deyang from the west, and burned the entire war all over the Central Shu Plain.

Different from the field battle, although the Wu army defending the city is not as capable as the Wei army in land warfare, it can still obviously restrain the Wei army's offensive by relying on the solid city defense. Vested interests are preserved.

This is destined to be a long-term and arduous tug-of-war, and the contest is the comprehensive strength of both sides. The 15 troops of the Wu State entered Sichuan, which accounted for almost half of the total force of the Wu State. With more than 23% of the army, the two sides assembled heavy troops in Shu, which is completely the momentum of a decisive battle. From the perspective of both sides, whoever wins Yizhou will have the qualification to dominate the world.

As for the remaining forces of the Shu Han who fled to Nanzhong, they were selectively ignored by both sides.

Of course, it is not completely ignored, but the battle situation in Shuzhong is stalemate. Neither Wei Fang nor Wu Fang can afford to take care of Nanzhong. However, in their view, the Shu Han court fled to the desolate and remote Nanzhong, and it is doomed to have no future for development. , can only linger on.In the future, no matter who wins the decisive battle in the middle of Shu, if they go south with the winning army, they will be able to pacify Nanzhong in one fell swoop and destroy the last remaining power of the Shu Han.

As for now, it is still necessary to decide whether to win or lose in the middle of Sichuan. For this reason, no one is willing to retreat easily and hand over vested interests to others. The situation in Central Shu has become a situation of endless death .

The dispute between Wei and Wu in Yizhou is not only a matter for the soldiers on the front lines of the two sides. Sima Zhao, the king of Jin, and Sun Xiu, the lord of Wu, have launched a behind-the-scenes contest. thought.

The battle in central Shu was in full swing, and Jia Chong's attack on Langzhong seemed to be an idle move, and it seemed to be of little use except to shake Jiang Wei.

When Jia Chong led troops into Shu to attack Langzhong, he wanted to open up a second front and open another door to Yizhou.Jia Chong used his military skills to fight step by step in the battle of Langzhong, eroding the defense line of Shuzhong step by step, and finally killed the heavy general Zong Yu of the Shu Han. According to Jia Chong's combat mode, Langzhong is just around the corner.

However, Jia Chong's plan was good, but his luck was a bit off. If Lu Kang from Wu State did not come to disrupt the situation, Jia Chong would definitely enter Yizhou before Zhong Hui.But when Wu entered the game, the situation changed suddenly, and after Fucheng fell, Jiang Wei voluntarily gave up Jiange, and let Zhong Hui pick up a ready-made bargain, and sent his troops to Shu.

However, Jiang Weijun, who blocked Zhonghui from entering Shu, became a stumbling block for Jia Chong at this time. Langzhong, which could have been easily captured, became a strong city due to the influx of Jiang Wei's army. Jiang Wei's original [-] army plus The garrison of Shanglangzhong has already surpassed Jia Chong's army in terms of strength. In addition to defending against danger, the Wei army can't surpass it at all.

Jia Chong was not discouraged. On the battlefield, the situation is ever-changing. How to judge the situation is the way to survive for a general.Jia Chong wrote a letter to Sima Zhao, thinking that now that the main force of the Wei army has entered Chengdu, it is meaningless to attack Langzhong again at this time. Battle Lu Kang.

Sima Zhao agreed to Jia Chong's suggestion to return to Hanzhong, but he did not order Jia Chong to enter Shu from Jiange.

Sima Zhao was obviously playing a bigger game, and when everyone's eyes were limited to Yizhou, Sima Zhao had secretly arranged for a full-scale war with Wu.Now that the Wu State has invested half of its troops in Yizhou, it is an indisputable fact that the country is empty. Sima Zhao decided to seize the opportunity to realize his great cause of unifying the world.

Transferring Jia Chong back to Beijing is to enrich his staff team, and to start a full-scale war with Wu State must coordinate the overall situation. At the beginning, Jia Chong was sent to Langzhong to find another way to open up another way to enter Shu, but now the situation has changed. Zhao's confidant and important official are like a weakling in the remote Langzhong, and it is imperative to transfer him back to Beijing.

Sima Zhao obviously had more meaning in arranging for Du Yu to bring 14 troops to Shangyong.Jia Chong proposed to send 18 soldiers and horses to the middle of Shu, but Sima Zhao thought it was unnecessary. Now Zhong Hui still has [-] troops ([-] when he entered Shu, [-] were lost by Deng Ai, and [-] were lost by Pang Hui). [-]), enough to support the entire battle in Central Shu.

What's more, Sima Zhao was also very wary of Zhong Hui. Sima Zhao couldn't be more clear about how the Sima family got their fortune. How could he let others usurp his position in the Sima family? People don't use it, Sima Zhao does the opposite, and reuses suspects.When Fan Zhonghui led his troops to the expedition, Xicao Shaoti once reminded Sima Zhao to be more wary of Zhong Hui, thinking that Zhong Huizhi was talented and ambitious, and he should not let him take power alone.

Sima Zhao smiled darkly. Everything was already under his control. Zhong Hui was ambitious, but he was also capable. Such a person is available but must be guarded against. Now that the situation in Central Shu is unclear, forgive Zhong Hui and dare not have it. The plan, as for strengthening its wings, was not what Sima Zhao hoped for. A hungry tiger can hurt people, but if it is too full, it will devour its master.

Wei Guo withdrew the troops surrounding Langzhong, which liberated Jiang Wei's [-]-odd army. Of course, Jiang Wei couldn't just sit idle. Using Brazil County as his base, he went south to attack Jiangzhou, and went west to harass Zitong. It means to completely muddy the water in the middle of Shu.

Jiang Wei's 14-strong army does not have an advantage in terms of strength, whether against the 15-strong Zhonghui Army or the [-]-strong Lu Kang Army. identity of.Jiang Wei has a deep and long plan, and has a clear understanding of the situation in central Sichuan. Now it is almost impossible to turn the tables in one fell swoop, and he does not want to let himself be the target of Wei and Wu. They continued to carry out nuisance operations in the direction of Jiangzhou and Zitong, and took a bite when they saw the opportunity.

Jiang Wei's mobile combat strategy caused Lu Kang and Zhong Hui a lot of headaches, but they spared no effort to fight Jiang Wei in a decisive battle, and Jiang Wei has always avoided large-scale battles with them, avoiding their edge and attacking them. Weak, in the three-party melee, Jiang Wei has always been able to do a job with ease, much easier than Lu Kang and Zhong Hui.
