The last three kingdoms

Chapter 456 Transposition
At this critical moment, Zhonghui was calm, resolute and decisive. He decisively ordered all the troops west of the Fushui to abandon their existing territories, complete the assembly secretly, and prepare to forcibly cross the Fushui and march towards Brazil.

The army of more than [-] troops of the Wei army was scattered in central Shu. Centered on the army besieging Fucheng, it was divided into two parts, the north and the south. The northern army was distributed in Jiange, Jiangyou, Wenshan, Zitong and other places, and the southern army was distributed in Chengdu. , Luocheng, Mianzhu, Guanghan area.

Naturally, when seizing the territory, the more the better, the more troops the better. Zhong Hui would have some headaches if he wanted to assemble the army now. The army is very fast, so we must seize the opportunity of Jiang Wei to attack Jiange Langzhong and empty, and take down Brazil County in one fell swoop. Otherwise, if Jiang Wei turns his head around, Wei Jun will be caught in a dilemma.

In order to confuse Jiang Wei, Zhong Hui did not withdraw the troops defending the Jiange. Instead, he issued an order to the troops stationed at the Jiange to stand firm to the death. Fu rescued Jiange's appearance.

The rest of the army, on the other hand, quietly packed up their luggage and quietly assembled at the designated location, completing the final deployment within two days.

┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄┄

At this moment, Jiang Wei has led his army to approach Jiange.

Not only Jiang Wei, but the entire Shu army couldn't hide their excitement when they returned to their hometown.When they withdrew from the Jiange last year, the pain experienced by these soldiers is still vivid. On the stones by the roadside, the traces of the soldiers of the Shu army cutting the stones with their angry swords are still clearly discernible. Now that they return to the Jiange, many people seem to be dreaming. middle.

But Jiang Wei has a calm face. He is very clear that the danger of the Jiange is not blown out. Although the Wei army only has 3000 people stationed here, relying on the dangerous terrain, it is not easy for the Shu army to take the Jiange lightly. .Moreover, according to the news just received, Zhong Hui had dispatched Hu Lie to lead an army of [-] troops from Fucheng to the north to help Jiange.The situation suddenly became severe. If the Shu army could not capture the Jiange before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, it might face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

However, Jiang Wei is still full of confidence. This confidence comes from his familiarity with the mountains and water here. Jiang Wei knows every mountain ridge and every stream. Jiang Wei has invested a lot of energy in Jiange. Jiang Wei is also clear about Jiange's strengths and weaknesses.

The battle was very fierce. The Wei army did not give up defense because of their numerical disadvantage. Instead, they fought very tenaciously. They stuck to every key point, fought desperately, and started a life-and-death struggle with the Shu army.

Jiang Wei's understanding of the Jiange played a vital role. He sent a small force to burst out from the first line of the sky and go straight into the gate of the Jiange.After two days and two nights of fierce confrontation, the Shu army finally wiped out the defending enemy and captured the Jiange.

All the Shu troops were cheering, excited and unable to contain themselves. Since they left Jiange with hatred last spring, they finally returned to Jiange and returned to this familiar land.

When he heard the news that Hu Lie had turned around and fled south, Jiang Wei smiled slightly with his beard. This Hu Lie is very knowledgeable about current affairs and knows that the Jiange is easy to defend. His coming here at this time is of no help. The retreat is undoubtedly his The smartest choice.

Recapturing the Jiange also rebuilt Jiang Wei's self-confidence. The significance of taking the Jiange is that it will completely block Zhonghui's retreat. The Zhonghui army without food and grass supplies will soon face the fate of collapse.

Although some people were worried that Zhong Hui might attack Nanzhong because of his urgency, but Jiang Wei thought that was pure nonsense.Nanzhong and Shu are separated by two to three thousand miles. With such a long distance, even if Zhong Hui is fully prepared, he may not be able to fulfill his wish. What's more, he is short of food and grass now. I am afraid that most of the team will be gone before he reaches Nanzhong. Already starved to death.

For Jiang Wei, recapturing the Jiange is only the first step. He has a more ambitious goal at the moment, which is to wipe out Zhonghui's army, expel Lu Kang, restore Shu Kingdom, and rebuild Chengdu. Only such achievements are worthy of it. Assuming his duties as a general, and obviously, such a goal is already close at hand.

"Report! Qi report to the general, the big thing is not good, Zhong Hui will gather an army of [-], and attack Langzhong by night." The scout's report poured on Jiang Wei's head like a pot of cold water, extinguishing the burning fire in his heart. fire.

"What? Say it again!" Jiang Wei even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

The scout was taken aback, he had never seen General Jiang lose his composure so much, so he had to say it again.

Jiang Wei's brows were twisted into a knot, his blood surged up immediately, and his hands and feet were cold.

It turned out that Zhonghui had planned it long ago, and the defenders of the Jiange were still guarding. I am afraid they would not know until their death that they had been disposed of by Zhonghui as abandoned sons. No wonder Hu Lie's northern aid walked slowly. He also didn't want to act like a firefighter. He had already received Zhong Hui's order to withdraw troops, but he was just showing Jiang Wei that when the time came, he could run faster than a rabbit.

This time, Jiang Wei mobilized almost all his troops to ensure that he won the Jiange. Now Langzhong has only the prefect of Brazil with 3000 troops stationed there.

"General, why don't we send troops back to help Langzhong?" Ning Sui said beside him.

Jiang Wei shook his head bitterly. Zhong Hui devoted all his strength this time and assembled an army of [-]. With the soldiers of a single county in Brazil, they couldn't stop him at all. Take Brazil County.

Seizing Jiange and losing Langzhong seems to be a simple exchange, and neither side suffers, but Jiang Wei understands that his plan to wipe out Zhonghui is already bankrupt. As long as they can get food supplies, Zhonghui's army will be brought back to life.

Jiang Wei was not immersed in frustration, and Zhong Huidong would undoubtedly give him a new opportunity. Jiang Wei immediately ordered to detour Wenshan County and go straight to Mianzhu, Luocheng and Chengdu.

Now these cities have become unclaimed lands. The Shu army marched southward to take Mianzhu, but fought an encounter with the Wu army who went south from Fucheng.Lu Kang also saw an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he sent troops to rob Mianzhu.The Shu army has long been red-eyed, and if they lose Brazil and can't take Chengdu Mianzhu, this embarrassment will be lost at home.

The Wu army was trapped in Fucheng for a long time, and its combat power was almost exhausted by the Wei army. In addition, most of the main force was in Yong'an Jiangzhou. They were finally defeated and lost the qualification to compete for Mianzhu.

However, Jiang Wei's army captured Mianzhu and Luocheng all the way, and captured Chengdu, which had long been a pile of ruins.
