The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 65
After the court meeting was over, Guan Yi returned home to have lunch, and after a short rest, he sent someone to Qiao Zhou's house to pick up his daughter-in-law.On the other hand, Guan Xiaoqi was asked to bring people to prepare five carts, and then took the convoy to Jiang Wei's house.

Hearing Guan Yi's visit, Jiang's mansion opened the middle door wide, and Jiang Wei came out to welcome him in person.

"Hey! Zifeng, it's good if you come here. Why do you bring so many things?" Jiang Wei, the current general of the Shu Han, is 57 years old (actual age). Years of fighting have made his temples completely gray and slender. On his face, there are many deep wrinkles like knife carvings.When the fists were saluted with both hands, the calluses on the back of the hands became more and more numerous.However, the spine is straight and the spirit is hale and hearty. It can be seen that the body is still very healthy.

"Hehehe, General, this is not a vulgar thing. I believe you will like it."

"Oh, then you need to see and see."

"Is there any wider space in the General's Mansion?"

"A wide area? Yes! Wei rarely goes back to CDs, and he doesn't have much to do when he comes back. So a small school yard was built."

"Good, then please ask the general to send someone to lead the way, and Yi's motorcade can go directly to the school grounds."

A group of people came to the school grounds, and the Guan family opened the curtains on the car. Jiang Wei only took a look, and his eyes showed surprise.

What Guan Yi gave Jiang Wei was a plate-shaped wooden sand table.

As a history enthusiast before time travel, Guan Yi strictly followed the teaching of the Taizu of this dynasty: "When reading history books, you must have a historical map." What Guan Yi read is not a plane map of administrative districts, but a three-dimensional topographic map—— Only in this way can we have a very intuitive understanding of major events in history, especially military events.

(The most typical positive example is the Battle of Changping in the late Warring States Period. Only when you first see the three-dimensional topographic map of the Changping area, and then put Bai Qi's route of attack into this map, can you really understand Bai Qi's battle The subtlety of command. For a negative example, please refer to the Red Army’s fifth anti-encirclement campaign: the Red Army’s foreign military advisers commanded on a flat map, which made a huge oolong and a joke.)
The sand table has existed since ancient times. It is said that there is a national large-scale sand table in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of China.But for ordinary people, there are still some shortcomings in the sand table: first, it is not refined enough-who can open the perspective of God in ancient society.The second is that sand tables are not easy to make and preserve—that is, to temporarily use mud to pile up a few mounds before the war.

But these are not problems for Guan Yi. Before traveling, his favorite thing is to read history books on the basis of three-dimensional topographic maps.And Zhuge Liang's five Northern Expeditions and Jiang Wei's nine Central Plains Expeditions were military events repeatedly verified by Guan Yi before his crossing.So he is very familiar with the geography of Hanzhong and Longxi—thanks to satellites and modern surveying and mapping technology, he has the perspective of God.

Under the guidance of Guan Yi, the entourage of the Guan family assembled more than 500 wooden boards of the same size but with different front contents one by one in a certain order. The map of northern Yizhou was perfectly displayed in front of Jiang Wei.

"General, Yi is in the rear and has a lot of leisure. So I made this Yongliang Yibei sand table based on various maps and books. Yi has never been to Yongliang in person, so there are inevitably mistakes in this. Please forgive me, General ...uh... General? General?"

Guan Yi expressed his understanding of Jiang Wei's current sluggish state.After calling twice to see that Jiang Wei didn't respond, Guan Yi also calmed down, and accompanied Jiang Wei quietly watching this painstaking work that took him more than a year of spare time to make.

After a long while, Jiang Wei, who had regained his composure, bowed respectfully and respectfully to Guan Yi: "Zifeng has a deep friendship, and Wei will always remember it in his heart."

"I don't dare. Yi can enjoy the glory in the rear because of the great general fighting on the front line. It's really nothing to do such a small thing for the general."

"This is really no small matter. With this, my big man's march in Yongliang is like a god's help! Zifeng, I owe you a great favor from all the soldiers of the Northern Expedition!"

"Yi is ashamed and dare not be. General, Yi has never been to Yongliang, so there may be fallacies in this, please correct me, General."

"Hehehe, Zifeng is too modest. Wei took a quick look at it just now. There are no obvious fallacies. On the contrary, many of Wei's previous cognitions have been corrected. Well, that's how it is. No wonder Deng Ai was able to take the lead last time. Machine. It turns out that the terrain here is like this..."

"General, Yi still wants to ask for advice."

"Zifeng, please speak."

"This Wei Wenchang's Ziwu Valley conspiracy..."

"Oh, Zifeng is also interested in this. Now, how about this. I will be Xia Houmao, and you will be Wei Wenchang..."

Then, the old and the young began to take turns playing the role of the commander-in-chief of the Han and Wei countries on the sand table, and reviewed and deduced the battles between the Han and Wei countries in the Yongliang area for more than 30 years.

As a time traveler, Guan Yi has the advantage that he is very aware of the strength of the commanders of the Han and Wei countries in each battle, the location of the follow-up troops, and has the experience of bickering with the keyboard conductors on the forum many times before the time travel.Therefore, in terms of sand table combat alone, Jiang Wei failed to take advantage of it.

"Hehehe, hahaha, Zifeng is talented! After the ten-year agreement between you and His Majesty is completed, you can come to my Northern Expedition Army to be a deputy commander!"

After so many preparations for MB, I finally let you, a guy, recognize the strength of my map military strategist.

Then, Guan Yi finally revealed his ultimate goal this time.

"General, the Sima family has basically wiped out the opposition forces in the puppet Wei court. In order to facilitate their family's attempt to usurp the throne, they should attack me in a big way in about three to five years, right?"

"Well, I already know Zifeng's analysis two years ago. In Wei's view, this is not a possibility, but a certainty!"

So you know it too.

However, Jiang Wei's next sentence made Yi thunder very serious: "So, after saving enough money and food in the past two years, we have to go on the Northern Expedition again!"

MB you nuts!It's not that I disagree with the Northern Expedition, but frequent Northern Expeditions like yours really won't work!Cut eight times in five years!Cao Wei's national power can't stand this frequency, let alone a small and weak country like Shu Han!
"General, why don't we come to the last deduction. This time, Yi will play Sima Zhao?"

"Oh? Good!"

"Let's talk about the military strength first. The puppet Wei has 50 million standing troops. It is not too much for Yi to use more than [-] troops?"

"Of course. Well, if I'm a big man to deal with it, the mobile corps plus the Hanzhong corps, maybe 5 people. Well, plus CD and Nanzhong's reinforcements, a total of 7 people?"

You have 7 farts in four years, and the army in your hands has never exceeded [-] from the beginning to the end.But Guan Yi couldn't say it clearly, so he had no choice but to nod in approval.

"Well, if I were Sima Zhao, the soldiers would be divided into three groups. One group would attack Yinping with 3 people, one group would attack Wudu with 3 people, and one group would attack Hanzhong with 5 people. May I ask the general how to deal with it?"

"Separate troops to attack Yinping and Wudu? Zifeng, there is a problem with this point: what is the puppet Wei doing to attack Yinping and Wudu? If Hanzhong is not captured, even if Yinping and Wudu are captured, they will not be able to defend after retreating." Because of this, both Cao Zhen and Cao Shuang concentrated on attacking Hanzhong all the way back then.”

"Otherwise, General, it is precisely because the puppet Wei attacked Hanzhong twice before that our army can concentrate on defense, so if Sima Zhao really comes to attack me, he will definitely learn his lesson and attack from multiple directions, so as to disperse our army. Lots of power."

"Well, in this case, I don't want Wudu and Yinping. I will concentrate on defending Hanzhong."

Then the deduction of the two sides was mainly staged in Hanzhong, but the result of the deduction was: the main force of the Wei army starting from Chang'an could not pass through each valley.The Wei army detachment coming from the flank of Wudu County could not attack Yang'an Pass.

"Hehehe, Zifeng. I am a big man who is in great danger. As long as I am blocked in Hanzhong, the enemy will not be able to do anything to me."

MB, you also know that there are serious risks.But why did you later give up this favorable natural terrain?

At this time, Guan Yi took out the war chess representing Deng Ai's 3 people from Yang'an Pass, and swung it to the southwest bridge...

"Well, this is a problem, but at this time CD's reinforcements should arrive at the Jiange at the earliest, right? As long as the Jiange is guarded, this army will still not be able to advance an inch!"

Four years after MB, due to various reasons, the response of the CD government can be called slow.If you hadn't retreated all the way to the Jiange, the Jiange would have been lost!Hey, it's so painful, I can't say this!

Guan Yi thought for a while, then moved the war chess representing Deng Ai's detachment to the southwest, and placed it on the famous Yinping trail in later generations.
