The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 95: Zhong Hui's Luck ([-])

"Bo Yue, Yang'an Pass, lost!"

"Ah? This... Yang'an Pass is so precipitous, and there is such a loyal general as Zi Lian sitting in it, how could it be lost?"

Rewind the time to more than ten days ago.

On August [-]th, exit at the southern end of Meridian Valley.

"Subordinate Liu Qin, prefect of Weixing County, pays homage to General Zhenxi."

"Liu Taishou has worked hard. Huh~~~ This Ziwu Valley is steep, I would have seen it. If Liu Taishou hadn't guarded the exit in advance. As long as Xishu puts a team here, I would have figured it out. I don't know what to do. It took a lot of effort. If the conquest of Shu can be successful, Prefect Liu will be the first to do so!"

Zhong Hui said such things at this time, but it was really not for show.

As a native of Yingchuan who has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, Zhong Hui was really shocked by the rugged mountain roads here when he crossed such a majestic mountain as the Qinling Mountains for the first time.

Among other things, after entering the Qinling Mountains for more than ten days, Zhong Hui's feet rarely touched the ground—it wasn't that he didn't touch the ground while riding a horse.Instead, the main thing you step on is the wooden boards laid on the narrow plank road. The real ground is tens to hundreds of meters away from the wooden boards under your feet.And in the process of marching, Zhong Hui's horse stepped on a plank and broke it, almost knocking General Zhenxi down the cliff.

For this matter, General Zhenxi was very angry.The first thing to do after crawling out of the hole was to arrest and kill Xu Yi who was in charge of clearing the way for the whole army—who is Xu Yi?The son of Xu Chu, Cao Cao's personal bodyguard!Although this move also has the meaning of killing and standing up.But the experience of hanging in mid-air really strongly stimulated Zhong Hui's nerves.

"I don't dare to be praised by General Zhenxi. I just did my duty."

"Well, Prefect Liu. I won't gossip, what is the current deployment of the Shu bandits in Hanzhong?"

"Here! Your subordinates have already found out. The Shu rebels have shrunk more than [-] troops to Han, Le, Huangjin, and Yang'an Pass. The wheat fields in the Hanzhong Basin have all been harvested, and all the people in the wild have entered the city."

"Hmm... this is a solid wall and clear fields." Zhong Hui's face became very ugly: "Forget it, orderly!"

"I'm waiting for the general's order!"

"Send the order! The whole army will deploy immediately after leaving the valley! Send people to contact the friendly troops in the other two passages. After the rectification is completed, the whole army will march towards Seoul!"

"Here!"

On August 12th, all [-] Cao Wei soldiers entered the Hanzhong Basin and launched across the board.

But the situation they faced was very bad: in the whole Hanzhong Basin, there was not a grain of grain to be found, and not a single commoner to be seen.

Zhong Hui, who had personally walked through the Qinling Mountains once, frowned deeply in the face of such a situation: If this continues, if one or two cities in Hanzhong are not captured as soon as possible, the Wei army with a number of up to 12 will soon fall into difficulties in food transfer , Sooner or later there will be an embarrassing situation of not being able to supply.

On August [-], Cao Wei's forward troops launched an attack on Seoul.Jiang Bin, the guard of the Hanzhong Corps of the Shu Han Dynasty, defended well, and the Wei army did not find any hope of breaking through the city.

On August 20th, Zhong Hui came to the city of Seoul.After circling Seoul, Zhong Hui was also very speechless: This city was built since Wang Ping's era.The Shu Han government continued to strengthen the front and back for more than 5 years.It is impossible to win such a city without taking the lives of [-] to [-] people, and without continuing to attack for more than half a year.

For Zhong Hui, who was born in a noble family in Yingchuan, the lives of ordinary soldiers are nothing.But what he can't afford to waste is time: Sima Zhao's life is counting down, and he will never be given too much time.Therefore, in the face of such a fortified city, Zhong Hui would not dare to do so in such a political environment.

Since you can't attack by force, let's persuade you to surrender.In any case, Zhong Hui's articles are very well written, and his calligraphy is one of the best in the world.

That afternoon, Jiang Bin, the guard of the Shu Han in Seoul, received a letter from Zhong Hui.

The content of the letter is very elegant, and there are no words like "please surrender" throughout the text: There are too many wise, wise, civil and military talents in the land of Bashu. As for you Jiang Bin and Zhuge Siyuan (Zhuge Zhan), they are like grass and trees. Dependence is the same as mutual understanding, and Zhonghui is the same kind of person as me.It is said that respecting the sages of the hometown has been a virtue of our nation since ancient times.I came to Sichuan today, the main purpose is to visit the cemetery of your father, where is your father's grave?Please also tell me, I will definitely go to sacrifice and sweep.

Jiang Bin, the guard of the Hanzhong Legion, whose father was the second minister of the Shu Han regime: Da Sima Jiang Wan.When Zhong Hui proposed to visit Jiang Wan's grave, what he really meant was: "I think highly of you, brother, you surrender. If you surrender, I will definitely treat you very well."

"Cut! This Zhong Shiji, do I know you very well? Do you need to pay homage to my father's grave?"

"Then general? How should I reply?"

"Hehehe, isn't this Zhonghui a straightforward person? How can he be so coy in persuading surrender. Forget it, he is not cheerful, I will be more refreshing."

Soon, Zhong Hui also received a reply from Jiang Bin.

"Knowing that you regard me as a bosom friend and wish to be like-minded with you, it is inconvenient to refuse your request due to Yashu's favor. My late father was ill and died in Fu County. Knowing that you have come to Sichuan from the west, you have to kneel down and look at the cemetery to show respect. Yan Hui regards Confucius as his father. This is his benevolence. It is quite sad to know your purpose of coming, and it makes me miss my father even more. gone."

The words are very elegant, but the content is quite arrogant: "Stupid! Who is my father? The big Sima of the big man! I am inheriting his will to defend the big man. How can I surrender? You want to visit my father's grave ? Hehehe, my father’s grave is far away from here. It’s in Fu County! If you can get there, go visit the grave. Hahahahaha~~~”

Zhong Hui, who received Jiang Bin's reply, had ten thousand headaches whizzing by.But on the surface, he still smiled and said to the generals: "This Jiang Bin is really a wonderful person!"

From MB, your elegant persuasion failed, and you actually said that he is a wonderful person.Do you want to face?

The wonderful person passed away, and Zhong Hui was very depressed.

Then he divided the 12 troops into four teams.Launched tentative attacks on Seoul, Lecheng, Jincheng and Yanganguan respectively.

Needless to say, Seoul cannot be defeated.

The same is true for Lecheng, which is the same Hanzhong city as Seoul.

As for the Golden City guarded by Liu Yin, yes, it is a small city.But that city was built on a hill.And it's different from when Ma Di set up camp on the mountainside and was cut off from the water source.On the hill where the Golden City is located, there is its own independent water source—in short, it still cannot be brought down.

As for Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui didn't have any hope at all-it was the most important place among the various strongholds in Hanzhong-it was the bottom of the bag, and it was absolutely unbreakable.Wang Han, Jiang Bin and others gave this checkpoint the most soldiers and equipped it with the most capable generals in the current Hanzhong Army.

Take a look at the leading general Zhonghui sent to Yang'an Pass: Hu Lie, the guard.This master is Sima Zhao's confidant, and the entire Hu family relied on the Sima family to make a fortune.He is the most loyal to the Sima family.That's why he was sent by Sima Zhao to be Zhonghui's guard and monitor him.Zhong Hui sent Hu Lie to attack Yang'an Pass.It was to deliberately make Hu Lie feel ashamed, so that he could further suppress Hu Lie in terms of business affairs in the future.

In short, General Zhenxi is very unhappy at the moment: If none of these strongholds can be knocked down, he can only count on Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu to launch an attack from behind Yang'anguan—in that case, his entire army Where is the face of the military commander?
