Competing

Chapter 515 Well-planned
After receiving the imperial edict from Liu Bang, king of the Han Dynasty, and the news that the Vietnamese army had entered the Yelang Plateau, Lu Wan felt very uncomfortable.

Lu Wan knew, he knew very well that if the Vietnamese army had really infiltrated the Yelang Plateau, it meant that it was only a matter of time before Bashu fell.There were few troops in the hinterland of Bashu, and the few garrison troops were all transferred to Yiling. It was already too late for Ziai to send troops to stop it.Yiling's formidable defense line has completely lost its effect. It is impossible to stop the Vietnamese army on Yelang's side with just these troops in hand.Although he had already noticed it and was reminded by Liu Bang and Zhang Liang, it was still a bit late after all.

Now it is powerless to stop the Vietnamese army, and at this moment, Lu Wan also deeply understands what it means to be helpless.Now the only option seems to be to evacuate Bashu and join Liu Jia in Xiangyang.This is the suggestion ordered by Han Wang Liu Bangzhao, and it seems to be the most appropriate way at the moment!

But Lu Wan did not choose this way, he was a little unwilling to give up Yiling and Bashu just like this.Therefore, he had another idea. Bashu could not be kept, so he could consider other ways to make up for it.It is impossible to lose Bashu for nothing like this, and make the Yue people cheaper for nothing.

So Lu Wan thought of Jiangling, the Vietnamese army went around to Yelang country, and there was even a plan for a flanking attack.If you want to put it into action, you must continue to mobilize a large number of troops.In this way, will Jiangling's defense be empty?If so, does it mean a good opportunity?Anyway, the Han army is going back east, so it's better to test Jiangling's defense.If there is an opportunity, it would be good to attack this important town in the northwest of the Yue Kingdom.

At least it can suppress the arrogance of the Yue people, and let them pay some price when they get Bashu.Maybe this way, I can balance my heart a little bit, Lu Wan thought in her mind.

Treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he tried his best to bring some troubles to the people of Yue, and it would be good to regain some face.Of course, this is slightly different from Han Wang Liu Bang's edict.But he said that he allowed himself to act cheaply according to the actual situation in Bashu.So now I have put it into practice, whether it will be successful or not is another story.

Of course, Lu Wan didn't know that if her decision was passed back to Xingyang, Han Wang Liu Bang would be furious.But at that time, Liu Bang seemed to be only blaming himself for underestimating Lu Wan's courage. Why didn't he think of forbidding him to counterattack and attack Yue?Of course, these are all later!

Han Wang Liu Bang didn't know it yet, so he naturally wouldn't object.But... when Lu Wan expressed her thoughts, the deputy general around him disagreed: "General, even if the Vietnamese army is deployed in a large scale, Jiangling will always have 2 to [-] people guarding it. With our current strength equal to it, the opponent There is also Jiangling City that can be relied on. I am afraid that there is no chance, and if one is not good, it will lose troops... Besides, the King of Han's edict is very clear, we are ordered to withdraw our troops..."

The deputy general hesitated to speak, and continued: "General, the most feared result is that stealing chickens will not cost you a lot of rice, that would be bad!" The deputy general was already a little afraid of the Yue people in his heart, so he didn't want to take this muddy water .Of course, when dealing with Lu Wan, he could only do everything possible to prevaricate.Fortunately, Liu Bang's edict and the current actual situation have become the best excuses.Safely withdraw to Xiangyang, even if Bashu is lost, there is no need to bear any responsibility.As for the idea of ​​attacking Jiangling, it might be a great achievement if it succeeded.But what if it fails?Life can be lost, the risk and price are really too high.Therefore, if it is not necessary, there is really no need to take risks.The lieutenant general didn't understand, what's wrong with General Lu, why didn't he find him so stubborn in the past!

Lu Wan said: "What you said is also reasonable! It's just that I'm not reconciled to walking away like this."

The lieutenant general said: "General, now Bashu is to the great Han, just like Jiangdong Kuaiji and Yuzhang were to the West Chu State in the past. Think about it, when the Yue State occupied the two counties of Jiangdong, the Chu army was not the same, and they withdrew directly. Now that the situation is here, it is reasonable to withdraw the troops, to preserve the power and reduce losses!" Seeing Lu Wan's insistence, the deputy general appeared again to dissuade him, hoping that the old man would do well and change his mind.But in fact, it didn't have much effect, which makes people inevitably a little disappointed!

Lu Wan shook her head lightly. He was very clear about the significance of Bashu to the Han Kingdom.But the truth is, sometimes it is really helpless.But now that he has made up his mind, he won't give up easily. He only heard him say: "This matter... let's stop in moderation. If Jiangling has a chance, we will attack. If we don't have a chance, we can just withdraw!"

Seeing this, the deputy general knew that it was Lu Wan's biggest concession, so he nodded slightly.I really smiled bitterly in my heart, I hope that this stubborn general will not go his own way by then!
Lu Wan knew very well that this was a mutual process, but the result was unequal.The Yue people's occupation of Bashu will become a fait accompli, and their attack on Jiangling is just an attack, and it is still unknown whether they will succeed.Even so, Lu Wan still wants to try, otherwise there may be regrets!
At the same time, Han Wang Liu Bang also mentioned in his letter that he had sent people to lobby the Bashu Qin family.Lu Wan just smiled wryly at this. After staying in Bashu for a long time, she naturally understands the Qin family better.An indisputable fact is before us, as long as the Vietnamese army successfully enters Bashu, the Qin family will naturally lean towards the Yue Kingdom.As for the reason, it is obvious!
Now I can't care so much, this Yiling is already a place of right and wrong, I don't know when the Yue army may appear behind, so it's better to leave as soon as possible!

……

Just when Lu Wan was planning to do something about Jiangling, a team of 5000 people had quietly arrived at the edge of the Yelang Plateau, near Bashu.The Yue people plan earlier, so they are always one step ahead. It is this slight advance that has made him invincible.

"General Su, after crossing this forest, you can drive straight into Bashu!" Yun Qingshan said softly while sitting beside the fire.

This time when they went to Bashu, the main force detoured to the side of Yelang Kingdom.Because of the communication with the Yelang people and the familiarity with the terrain in the southwest, Wulingman's warriors are naturally indispensable, and Yun Qingshan volunteered to be the pioneer.So Yin Xu approved it, but out of safety considerations, among the 5000 troops on this road, 5000 were warriors from Wulingman, and the remaining 1 were from Jiangling's garrison, led by Su An.

Su An has been following Yin Xu, and after a long period of training, he is gradually able to stand alone.Yin Xu also intentionally asked him to come out for training this time, in order to accumulate credit and strengthen the power balance of the generals in the Yue Kingdom.

Of course, maybe it also meant to let Su An supervise and balance Yun Qingshan.Yun Qingshan didn't have any opinion on this, King Yue felt relieved, it was a good thing for both of them.Since he has chosen to submit to the King of Yue sincerely, he doesn't care much about these little things.

After going all the way through mountains and rivers, he finally walked out of the rolling mountains in Yelang and was about to enter the Bashu Basin.The soldiers have been traversing mountains and ridges for a long time, and now they are a little tired.Such a situation is not suitable for directly entering Bashu to fight.Therefore, Yun Qingshan and Su An ordered the army to rest here for a day before entering Bashu!

After Su An heard Yun Qingshan's words, he nodded lightly: "We are about to enter Bashu, and victory is in sight!" Su An couldn't help being a little excited. These days are indeed hard work. The warriors of Wuling Man are okay, and they are all used to fighting in the mountains and forests. Running around hunting.Therefore, it is naturally more suitable for mountain combat.

Su An and those [-] ordinary Yue soldiers were enough. They really suffered a lot in the past few days, and they were even a little embarrassed.Today I have finally passed the most difficult section of the road, and victory seems to be not far away, so I am naturally a little excited in my heart.

Yun Qingshan said: "Yes, Mr. Qin promised me that as long as we can enter Bashu smoothly, he will support us!"

It is of great significance to successfully enter Bashu, and their hard work these days is worth it.Su An said: "But don't take it lightly. You have successfully entered Bashu, but Lu Wan is still there!"

Yun Qingshan nodded and said: "Yes! Your Majesty has told you that the first thing to do after entering Bashu is to go around Yiling and attack Lu Wan!"

"Only when Lu Wan's troops are strangled, the Han army will have no control and influence in Bashu. The next step is Qin's performance!" Su An echoed!
"I don't know if General Pu is in place yet?" Yun Qingshan asked in a low voice.

Su An smiled and said: "Don't worry, Brother Pu has always done things safely, there will be no problems!"

……

Since it was necessary to attack from east and west, Su An and Yun Qingshan couldn't be the only ones sending troops.At the same time as they sent troops to Yelang, Pu Jun also set off from Jiangling with an army of [-]. The purpose was very clear, which was to completely keep Lu Wan in Yiling.Yue Wang Yinxu wants to take Bashu, and at the same time swallow his troops.

All of this is to prepare for the future battle of Xiangyang. Yin Xu in the lower reaches of Mianshui can be said to be determined to win, so Liu Bang's garrison at this step must be cleared first.As for Liu Bang will send another army to garrison at that time, it is another matter. The new army is not familiar with the local situation, so how can it be compared with the original veterans in combat!
The actions of the Yue Kingdom have always been carried out in an orderly manner, one after another, and now they are considering actions against Xiangyang while they are attacking Bashu.After Yun Qingshan, Su An and Pu Jun were dispatched, Yin Xu was still a little uneasy.There are still several possibilities, and it is necessary to plan carefully, and then a smile appeared on the corner of Yin Xu's mouth!
