The last three kingdoms

Chapter 452 Recovering the Sword Pavilion
When Jiang Wei told the generals that Liu Yinbing had taken Guanlong and returned to Hanzhong, the whole tent was boiling.

In the past two years, the Shu army has been suppressed enough. This news is like a shot in the arm. All the generals in the tent are smiling and happy. If it is not because of their status, I am afraid that they would have already cheered. .

Even Zhang Yi, the general on the left chariot, and Liao Hua, the general on the right chariot, were so excited that they could not hold back their tears. Liu Yin's victory was naturally the victory of the Shu Han, and they were naturally elated and elated.Seizing Chang'an has always been the long-cherished wish of the Shu people. After repeated efforts to no avail, the blood of the Shu people has naturally cooled down. From hope to disappointment, to despair, Chang'an City has become an unattainable goal for the Shu people. Dream.

However, the happiness came too suddenly. It was impossible not to be happy when such news came when Shuzhong fell and the water was in dire straits.

Jiang Wei looked at it coldly, not only Zhang Yi and Liao Hua, but also his confidant Ning Sui and the generals also had joyful expressions on their faces, as if they were immersed in the joy of victory.This made the gloom in Jiang Wei's heart even stronger. Even his cronies were like this. If the news spread to Nanzhong, those opposition groups would definitely celebrate and impeach him one by one.

Jiang Wei said calmly: "Bo Gong, Yuan Jian, what do you think we should do now?" Have to discuss it with them first.

Zhang Yi has a straightforward personality. During the Northern Expedition, Zhang Yi believed that the country was small and the people were tired, and that force should not be abused. He was one of the few ministers in the Shu Han court who dared to argue with Jiang Wei about the Northern Expedition.At this moment Zhang Yi's face was flushed, the excitement had not passed, and he said loudly: "Needless to say, now that Liu Zhenbei has captured Hanzhong and cut off Zhong Hui's way back, the army against Wei has become a turtle in the urn. You only need to attack from the north and the south from the inside and outside, and take care of that bastard Zhong Hui. The two years of fighting have made someone so depressed, I really didn't expect such a day of pride!"

Liao Hua also said: "If Zhonghui's grain road is cut off, the morale of the army will be in chaos. As long as our army attacks from north to south, Zhonghui will be difficult to care about. It will be difficult for him to be undefeated."

Jiang Wei chuckled, and said: "You all think that Zhonghui will be defeated, but even a centipede is dead but not stiff, let alone Zhonghui has tens of thousands of troops, how can he wait to die? Now that the Wei army's supply road has been cut off, Where do you think Zhonghui is most likely to go?"

Zhang Yi said without hesitation: "Of course it is to counterattack Hanzhong and regain the grain road."

All the generals agreed and nodded.

Jiang Wei smiled slightly and said: "What Bo Gong said is very true. If I were Zhong Hui, I would definitely not stick to Chengdu and other places. Restoring grain roads is the most important task, and it can even be said to be at all costs. Everyone A very hungry wolf is by no means inferior to a fierce tiger, not to mention the 5000 Wei army. These [-] Wei troops are now [-] howling hungry wolves. The fighting spirit is unprecedentedly strong, and it will never be easy to deal with. According to what Chen Shou said, this time Liu Zhenbei entered Hanzhong, and only brought [-] people. Everyone knows the terrain of Hanzhong very well. The Second City of Hanle may not be able to stop Ni Wei's counterattack."

Liao Hua said: "Then according to the general's opinion, how should we act?"

Jiang Wei calmly said: "The gates of central Shu are all in the Jiange. If Zhonghui wants to retreat, he must go to the Jiange. Our army only needs to snatch back the Jiange, and we will be able to seal Zhonghui's way back to the north. Zhonghui will have no food. Without help, the time of defeat is not far away."

Ning Sui said a little excitedly: "What the general said is very true. The only solution now is to take back the Jiange and trap Zhonghui to death in Shu." The Jiange was where Jiang Wei once resisted the enemy. This is an unspeakable pain for Jiang Wei’s soldiers. They dream of taking back Jiange, so when Ning Sui heard Jiang Wei’s plan, he immediately raised his hands in favor.

In fact, recapturing the Jiange is the result of Jiang Wei's deliberation. Of course, Jiang Wei's goal is not just a small Jiange. Thinking about it, it was just the light of the firefly, not to mention that Jiange was also lost in Jiang Wei's hands back then. Taking it back now is just making up for it.

What Jiang Wei wants to achieve is greater merit, so what counts as great merit?Only the complete annihilation of Zhonghui's army can be considered a major contribution. In Liu Yin's plan, he will attack Jiang Wei from north to south. In this way, even if Zhonghui is eliminated, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin will only be able to share the credit equally in the end. That's all, this is obviously not good for Jiang Wei.

Seizing the Jiange is equivalent to keeping Liu Yin's men behind, and Jiang Wei alone shoulders the task of encircling and annihilating Zhonghui.I have to say that Jiang Wei has a big appetite. With more than 4 troops, he wants to eat Zhonghui's [-] troops.

However, Jiang Wei was not too worried. You must know what the army fights in war, it is logistics.Without food and supplies, no matter how many troops there are, as long as the Jiange is sealed off, and the Jiange is in a situation where one man is the gate and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it, no matter how many people there are in Zhonghui, it will be useless.As long as the Jiange is firmly guarded, Zhonghui's army will inevitably collapse after running out of supplies, and if Jiang Wei can enjoy this credit alone, then the meritorious service of regaining the land of Yizhou is enough to be compared with Liu Yin's contribution to capturing Guanlong. For the time being, his position as a general will be worry-free.

After Ning Sui expressed his support, the generals became even more angry, and seemed to have the intention of sending troops to take back the Jiange immediately.

Only Zhang Yi frowned and said: "If our army attacks Chengdu first, we will definitely be able to drive Zhong Hui back to the north, and we can join forces with Liu Zhenbei to attack from north to south, and encircle the narrow strip between Zhong Hui and Jiange Baishui. The rations are exhausted, and they can be easily captured. If our army captures Jiange, we can close the door and beat dogs, but I don’t know if Zhong Hui, a mad dog, is waiting to die. heavy."

Jiang Wei smiled and said: "At this moment, Zhong Hui only has the way of food in his heart, and he will definitely flee northward with all his strength. Once he is allowed to cross the Jiange and enter Hanzhong, he will return to the mountain. Only by sealing the Jiange can he be regarded as extinct. Thoughts. There have been many years of war in the middle of Sichuan, and there are already ten rooms and nine empty houses. Even if Zhong Hui looted the village, he did not get much. It is not enough to support the army. The day when the food is exhausted is when he will give the head. "

Zhang Yi had nothing to say, Jiang Wei immediately mobilized all his soldiers in Brazil and went to Wang Jiange to kill him.
