The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 109 The Last Date of the Peacock ([-])

In the early morning of October 263, 10 AD, Jiangyou fell. In the middle of the night on the 28th, Zhuge Zhan and Yan Yu stationed in Fucheng received the bad news that Dong Ming's home would bring.

"This Dong Ming is nothing but trash! Jiangyou Jiancheng! We didn't survive even one night. We didn't give us any time to react. Trash! Trash!"

Seeing Zhuge Zhan scolding Dong Ming in a state of complete inability to stop, Yan Yu couldn't help but frown, but Yan Yu, who has become more and more bureaucratic, actually endured it, and looked at Zhuge Zhan alone. Sing a one-man show there.

"Siyuan! Now is not the time to scold Dong Ming. I think he has died for his country by this time." The one who couldn't help but speak was Shang Shulang Huang Chong.As colleagues at Shangshutai, the two have a very good personal relationship.Others dare not speak, but he dares to speak.

"So what if you die for your country? Jiangyou is so important that it was lost overnight. The door in the basin is wide open! What's wrong with it! This trash! Trash!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about these past events. Now the military situation is urgent, how is our army doing? Please make a plan quickly!"

"Uh..." Speaking of this, Zhuge Zhan finally stopped. "Wen Ping, what do you think our army should do next?"

Yan Yu, who is in his 60s, was called by the 36-year-old Zhuge Zhan, so depressed.But Yan Yu also knew that this guy had a very bluffing father who was used to being arrogant in Shu Han.So it was hard to say anything, so I had to say in a deep voice: "The last letter sent by Chong Liang did not specify how many troops Deng Ai had. Therefore, I am really not sure what our army should do next."

"Oh? Wen Ping, tell me, so what if Deng Ai has a lot of troops? So what if there are few?"

"Well, if Deng Ai's strength exceeds [-], then our army has nothing to say. The whole army must immediately advance to Anchang Pavilion, sixty miles northwest of Fucheng. There is the junction of the mountains on the edge of the basin and the plains in the basin. Our army should firmly block the exit there to prevent the enemy from completely entering the plain. In this way, our army can hold a stalemate with it for a period of time. At the same time, we should urgently report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send troops from Nanzhong and Fuling to support. Deng Ai crawled from the Jinggu Road, and the grain road was broken. It must not last long. Therefore, as long as our army sticks to the exit, we will be able to secure victory!"

"Well, what if Deng Ai has fewer troops?"

"Then our army can let Deng Ai enter the plain and gather them together..."

"No!!!" After hearing Yan Yu's second plan, Huang Chong jumped up in fright: "General You, this action must never be done! Don't tell me we don't know what happened to Deng Ai's army at the moment. How many, even if Deng Ai's army is less than [-], we can't let them enter the basin! This is the way to die!"

"Why did Bo Zhong say this? Deng Ai's army went deep alone, with no reinforcements outside, and no food for the rear. If his troops were insufficient, entering the basin would be a dead end."

"General You made a big mistake! First, the natives of Yizhou have been dissatisfied with my big man for a long time. If Deng Aijun enters the plains, he will be able to get secret support from the Yizhou family. This food and grass is definitely not a problem for him. Second, Deng Aijun Ai's army is all veterans who have fought fiercely in Longxi for many years. Their combat power is comparable to that of the mobile corps under the general's command. They can overcome the difficult no-man's land of Jinggu Road. The will and discipline of this army don't need much. And our army now has 8000 [-] people, and the [-] Yong'an Army of General You will not talk about him. This [-] Yulin... Hehe, this combat power is really limited. Third, Deng Ai is in Longxi has defended against the general for many years, and with the ability of the general, he only competed with Deng Ai. Please Siyuan and General You recall the Northern Expedition of the general in these years. There are so many commanders in the puppet Wei. Who can give the general a complete and complete defeat in Duangu?... Therefore, our army actually has no choice. No matter how many Deng Ai soldiers are, our army should go north overnight to block the vital point of Anchang Pavilion so that it cannot enter Plain area. In this way, our military has a chance!"

For Huang Chong, if Guan Yi was here, he would definitely jump up and clap his hands to applaud. After the applause, he would hold the other person's hand and ask, "Brother, you also came from time travel, right? Why do you see the problem so thoroughly?"

It's a pity that Guan Yi is not here. Now his audience is Zhuge Zhan and Yan Yu.To these two, Huang Chong's words were actually full of irony.

First, what does it mean that Deng Ai will get the enthusiastic support of the broad masses of the people when he enters the plains?Did I, Zhuge Zhan, have done so badly and unpopularly in Shangshutai all these years?I am the son of the prime minister!

Second, what does Deng Ai's army have strict discipline?That is the army of the puppet dynasty.First of all, what you said is politically incorrect!
Third, what does Jiang Wei mean that he can't do anything about it?You mean I, Zhuge Zhan and Yan Yu, are not as good as Jiang Wei, are they all rubbish?
(Guan Yi: Nodding, yes!)
It can be said that if Yan Yu was still noncommittal about which strategy to adopt at the beginning, Huang Chong's words had already made Yan Yu strongly inclined to the decisive battle on the plain.

In the decisive battle in the plains, completely annihilate Deng Ai's troops, let the whole Han Dynasty see that my military strategy, Yan Yu, is by no means inferior to that of Jiang Wei!
Besides, everyone knows that keeping the enemy out of the door can at most engage in a pursuit battle, and the combat achievements gained are very limited.And opening the door to let the enemy in, and then fighting a battle of annihilation, the military exploits will be great-isn’t the new Hanzhong strategy formulated by you Jiang Wei just like this?
(Guan Yi: Brothers, but the new Hanzhong strategy has failed.)
"What Bo Zhong said is also reasonable. How about this, I mean, first send out scouts to investigate first, and then make plans after finding out Deng Ai's strength. Wen Ping, what do you think?"

"General Wei's opinion is very good, let's do it like this."

"No! No! You two, Deng Ai is a famous general, and he will never give us enough time to deploy defenses at Anchang Pavilion. What our army has to do now is to set off immediately! Immediately!"

"Okay, Bo Zhong, this is the end of the matter. Let's read the scout's report first."

"It's over! It's over! Is my big man going to die today?"

"Shut up! How can you say such a thing. Come on, Shang Shulang is tired, take him down to rest!"

……

At the same time, the east gate of Jiangyou City.Cao Wei's army has been assembled.

"Reporting to General Zhengxi, the former army of our army originally had a total of 7000 people. Yesterday, they were killed and seriously injured due to rolling down the mountain. They were injured and disappeared during the rapid march at night, and they were seriously injured and killed in battle when they attacked Jiangyou. The cumulative reduction of three There are 320 people. Now there are 670 people who can still move, and they have all assembled. Waiting for the general's order!"

"Shan, by the way, Sima, how far is the rear of our army from us?"

"The rear army led by the major general has already passed the cliff we jumped off yesterday. According to the news just received, it defeated the Shu army stationed at the exit of the canyon this afternoon. It is currently resting in Wubao there. You can join our army in time."

"Well, let's put this matter aside for now. County Magistrate Ma, are you sure that Zhuge Siyuan and Yan Wenping are currently stationed in Fucheng? There are only [-] soldiers and horses?"

"It is indeed correct, General Zhengxi, please rest assured."

"Well, the Yizhou family sent seven thousand shi of grain today, which can be regarded as a solution to our army's urgent need, but this little grain..."

"Don't worry too much, general. Although Jiangyou is flat, it is surrounded by mountains, so it is inconvenient to transfer food. If the general takes Anchang Pavilion, there will be an endless supply of food!"

"Good. Guard, where did our army's scout team go?"

"Our army has already sent out scouts after taking Jiangyou early this morning. The farthest is estimated to have crossed the Anchang Pavilion and entered the plain."

"Have you not received any news of the Shu army marching north?"

"Not received yet."

"Very good!" Deng Ai smoothed out his gray beard, turned his head and smiled at Shi Zuan: "Please also ask Sima to send a letter to the rear army, asking them to come to Jiangyou to temporarily stop for two days, mainly responsible for the treatment of our former army. The wounded, let the slightly wounded recover as soon as possible. They should not go with them this time. After all, they are visitors from afar, so we can’t frighten Zhuge Siyuan.”

"Hehehe, so that's the case, the general really has far-reaching plans."

"Where, where, after all, we are all over 60 years old, and we should be gentle with young people." After talking to Shi Zhuan with a smile, Deng Ai looked serious, boarded a small mound and shouted loudly: "I am a big boy!" The warriors of Wei ran all night yesterday and slept all day today, are they all refreshed?"

"Don't worry, general, I've been waiting for a long time to recharge my batteries!"

"Yes, General, do you want to run all night tonight?"

"Then run, I'm waiting for the big axe, I'm already hungry and thirsty!"

"Hahahahaha~~~~~ Good! Listen to the order now! The whole army set off and run towards Anchang Pavilion, 130 miles southeast!"

"Huh!!!!"

———————————————————————————————————————

On the basis of history, in fact, Deng Ai's sneak attack on Jinggu Road has long been known by the Shu Han.It was Zhuge Zhan who stayed in Fucheng and did not take the initiative to approach Jiangyou.As a result, Jiangyou defender Ma Miao was defeated and surrendered.So why did Zhuge Zhan adopt such a bad strategy?During the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Zhen, the general of Houyan, revealed the answer: "In the past, Lord Cheng'an did not guard the Jingxing pass, and finally succumbed to Han Xin; Zhuge Zhan did not take the risk of restraining his horse, and was captured by Deng Ai." Chu Han At this time, Cheng Anjun Chen Yu fought Han Xin with an army of 20. He did not follow Li Zuoche's words and abandoned the danger of defending Jingxing, thinking that his superior force alone would be enough to defeat Han Xin.What Chen Yu moved was based on the idea that the enemy army could not be repulsed by danger, but the enemy army could be completely wiped out in a battle.As a result, he was defeated by the Han army who "fighted to the last stand" and moved his head.Zhuge Zhan happened to have an abacus with Chen Yu, so he abandoned Jiangyou, just wanted to let the enemy in, and wiped out the Wei army with superior forces, and was finally solved by the Wei army's "last stand".
