Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 814 Jiang Wei Reappears
Guan Xing and Zhang Bao entered Chencang, and it took less than two hours from the siege to the capture of the city. The Shu army took Chencang and wiped out the Wei army!

Wei Yan was completely overdrawn and out of strength, especially the last blow to Fei Yao, which dissipated all his potential. There were eleven large and small wounds. According to Wang Ping, he had to cultivate for half a month, and it was hard to guarantee that there would be nothing left sequelae.

Wang Ping helped Wei Yan down the city. Wei Yan wanted to get rid of it several times, but he couldn't use any strength, and he couldn't even speak.Zhang Huan and Huang Yi were still leaning on the ladder, both of them were smiling, but their faces were pale, they breathed out, and they had already passed away.

To say that the Shu army took over Chencang with the help of Wei Yan alone is a bit exaggerated, but Wei Yan's contribution is indispensable. Zhuge Liang finally showed moderate satisfaction with Wei Yan and ordered Wei Yan to go down to rest. Wei Yan developed a high fever that day and night.

Bing is expensive and fast, too much time has been wasted in Chencang.After a short rest for one day, on the 24th of the first month, Zhuge Liang left thousands of people to stay in Chencang, and led the army to Weinan, while Wei Yan stayed in Chencang to recuperate.

Cao Zhen received a report from Fei Yao, knowing that Zhuge Liang was attacking east and west, he estimated that Chencang was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would not be a problem to defend for a month with Fei Yao's ability. Even so, Cao Zhen did not dare to be careless. Go to Chencang Road.

Before reaching Chencang Pass, the Wei army who fled back reported that Chencang was lost and Fei Yao was killed in battle.Cao Zhen was extremely surprised, is the Shu army so fierce?So he ordered to set up a large camp on the south bank of the Weishui River, connecting the rings, and planned to stick to it for a long time.

On the 26th of the first month, Jiang Wei, who was stationed on Qishan Road, arrived.Hearing that Chen Cang had been lost, he advised Cao Zhen that he should send troops to Beiyuan to garrison them. If Zhuge Liang crossed the Wei River and occupied Beiyuan, the connection between Yongliang and Liangzhou would be severed.

Cao Zhen thought Jiang Wei's words were reasonable, and ordered Jiang Wei to take all the soldiers from his headquarters to Beiyuan.When Jiang Wei arrived in Beiyuan, he began to dig deep trenches and build barriers. The barriers had not yet been completed, and he reported that the Shu army was marching towards Beiyuan.

General Jiang Weiju said: "The Shu army came from afar, but I don't know that I have already seized this place. It is better to take the initiative to attack when they come."

Ma Dai and Chen Shi are still boasting about Zhuge Liang's scheme, and taking Beiyuan was a stroke of genius.Jiang Wei led the army to kill, Ma Dai fought with Jiang Wei, and was defeated by Jiang Wei in 5000 rounds of the battle. Gao Xiang fled back, Jiang Wei beheaded [-] people, and built a fortress in Beiyuan, leaving [-] people to garrison.

Zhuge Liang originally planned to lead his own army to confront Cao Zhen in Weinan, and sent Ma Dai and Chen Shi to seize Beiyuan, and Chen Shi built a fort here to stay behind, thus cutting off the road with Liangzhou.After that, Ma Dai sent his army westward to capture Wuwei, Anding and other counties. Zhang Yi sent troops to Qishan Road to attack Longyou and Tianshui, echoing Ma Dai, and took Liangzhou.His wishful thinking was seen through by Jiang Wei. Not only did he fail to obtain Beiyuan, but he lost thousands of troops, which really made him heartbroken.

The soldiers in Shu are too precious, with a full force of only 15, of which [-] are new recruits this year, [-] are defending Yizhou and Hanzhong, only [-] can go to the Northern Expedition, and the loss of attacking Chencang is [-], which is another [-] , I can't afford to hurt you.

Seizing Beiyuan failed, and the plan for a quick battle failed, so Zhuge Liang had to make long-term plans.The poor transportation of grain and grass is an eternal pain in the heart of the Shu army. Spring is coming soon. In order to relieve the pressure on grain and grass, Zhuge Liang ordered Ma Dai and Chen Shi to lead thousands of people to farm.

The attendant Fei Yi arrived at the front of the army very quickly. Because he captured Chencang and beheaded the general Fei Yao, Liu Chan ordered Zhuge Liang to be reinstated as prime minister.Everyone guessed that when Guan Xing and Zhang Bao came out of Sichuan, Fei Yi arrived in Hanzhong with Liu Chan's blank edict, just waiting for Zhuge Liang to make a contribution, otherwise how could it be so fast?

Cao Pi was restless in Luoyang, and his hair was gray in his 40s.He didn't want to stick to it, and he hoped that Cao Zhen could repel Zhuge Liang and free up troops to support the Eastern Front, but he still respected Cao Zhen's opinion.As a result, Chen Cang was lost, and Zhuge's approach to Weishui made him very disappointed, and even more worrying.

Liu Ye said that Zhou Cang must have a big conspiracy when he stood still for several months.With the memorial in hand, Cao Pi suppressed his anger, how could I not know?I need a way!
It's not that Liu Ye didn't come up with an idea, his idea can even be said to be unimaginable: abandon Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Sima Yi moved the people to Sizhou and Guanzhong after the breakup, Cao Ren led the army into Guanzhong and Cao Zhen joined Zhuge Liang; Xia Houshang led the army to Shangyong and captured Hanzhong Cut off Zhuge Liang's return route, Zhuge Liang will be defeated, and Yizhou will be at your fingertips.To put it bluntly, Liu Ye's strategy is to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and at the expense of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, concentrate his forces to eliminate Zhuge Liang and seize Yizhou, thus forming a situation of separation from the Han Dynasty.

This strategy was difficult for Cao Pi to accept.Yanzhou and Yuzhou are rich and prosperous places in the Central Plains with outstanding people, while the west is a place of bitter cold and remote. How many important ministers and gentry in the court are from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, including the Cao family who are also from Qiaojun. How could these people be willing to leave their homeland?How can you not be alienated from me in the future?What's more, if Zhuge Liang can't be eliminated, and he retracts to Yizhou, wouldn't it be a waste of time to fetch water from a bamboo basket?

Cao Ren has been through the battlefield for a long time and fought many vicious and dangerous battles. Guan Yu flooded Fancheng and still kept Fancheng intact, and finally turned defeat into victory; Sima Yi was resourceful and experienced in using troops. Cao Pi believed that Cao Ren and Sima Yi had the ability to contain Zhou Cang's army.

Cao Pi put Liu Ye's memorial aside, and he very much hoped that someone would find Zhou Cang's flaws.Jiang Wei, Cao Pi took Cao Zhen to the table again. Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition was Jiang Wei's great victory at Jieting, and the Shu army suffered heavy losses. This time, Jiang Wei defended Beiyuan to turn the tide of the war. This talent is available!

With this in mind, Cao Pi issued an edict to Jiang Wei of Jin Dynasty as General Anxi, and waited to go to Beijing to meet him. He sent Hu Lie, Wen Hou, and Xun Kai to serve in front of Cao Zhen's army, and Kuai Jun to Chang'an to assist Zhang Ji, the governor.

Cao Pi exchanged three people for Jiang Wei. Hu Lie was the second son of Hu Zun, Wen Hou was the second son of Wenpin, and Xun Kai was the sixth son of Xun Yu. What I hate is that Xun Kai has extensive knowledge and careful thinking. He is appreciated by his brother-in-law Chen Qun and Sima Yi, so Cao Pi promotes him. In fact, Xun Kai's personal virtue is not very good.

Although Cao Pi was not optimistic about Liu Ye's strategy, he believed that Guanzhong would become his rear area in the future, and he needed to rely on Guanzhong for military and food sources, so he sent Kuai Jun to Chang'an to develop people's livelihood.

On February 26th, Jiang Wei arrived in Luoyang, and Cao Pi became more and more happy when he saw it. The [-]-year-old Jiang Wei was handsome and full of blood, so he immediately married her as the daughter of Princess Dongxiang.
