Chapter 438: Defending as Attacking

The resolution has been taken.

On the Han side, Wu Yi, the general of Linjing, had already sent his sergeants along the Jingshui coast to attack Guo Huai, and Zhang Fei's troops, who were hovering in the vicinity of the Qinling Mountains and Sanguan, also suddenly made a feint to attack Dasanguan, attracting the attention of Zhang He and Guanzhong.

After the two divisions had taken action and had certain results, Zhao Yuncai led more than 10,000 people to cross the river into Shangjun and Xihe by Qiang Road to prepare for the breakthrough of Wei Yan's troops on the Jinyang side.

Before leaving, Fa Zheng was naturally not unprepared, and he also secretly found a way to contact the secret guards, asking them to sneak into Jinyang no matter what, and inform Wei Yan that he had led his troops to meet on the periphery, so that he must find the weak point of the Wei army and break through it.

Jinyang can't be kept for a long time!

At first, Fa Zheng planned to send partial divisions to take and annex states, but it was only generally to contain the strength of the Wei army, making it less difficult to attack the passes, and it would be excellent if he could capture one or two important cities.

But now the plan of his main force to quickly take Guanzhong has been thwarted by the Wei army, and it is impossible to fight in the short term, but if Jinyang does not give up, the battle between the two sides will continue.

Jinyang is the core of the annexed state, how could the Wei army let the enemy invade and occupy it?

Since the failure of the quick pass, Fa Zheng can keenly feel that Liu Bei, the son of heaven, has already dissipated his ambitions, and I am afraid that he will not launch a large-scale war in the short term, but follow the strategic national policy formulated by Zhuge Liang before, and the Wei army should adopt a defensive posture of defending as an attack, and first solve and stabilize the internal situation in Liangzhou.

Then, it is no longer a wise move to occupy Jinyang again at this moment!

Merely.

Fa Zheng could guess what Wei Yan had planned before.

If everything goes well and take Jinyang, then he will be able to attract the attention of the entire Wei army again, and at this time, Liu Bei, the son of heaven, can once again lead the people eastward to fight for several counties in Guanzhong.

But he didn't expect that after this battle, Liu Bei's original ambition seemed to be scattered, and he had already begun to prepare to implement Zhuge Liang's step-by-step strategy of seeking stability.

Within a few years, the Han army could not advance eastward.

Because how to coordinate and ease the relationship between the Liangzhou officials and the Qiang people of all parties requires a certain amount of effort and time to deal with it slowly.

After all, the Han Dynasty has adopted a high-pressure policy towards Liangzhou for more than a hundred years, and if there is a rebellion, they will directly raise a large army to suppress it, and they have never gone deep into Liangzhou to solve fundamental problems.

After a chaotic war among the warlords in the world, Zhang Ji's policy had not yet been implemented, and he suffered from the Guanping chaos in Liangzhou at that time, which disturbed the situation and caused the Qiang tribes with contradictions and discord among various tribes to fight each other.

For more than 100 years, not only did the Qiang people rebel in Liangzhou, but the various ministries also competed with each other and accumulated deep hatred.

This hatred is by no means something that can be properly dealt with overnight!

And now Liu Bei's plan to quickly take Guanzhong almost caused his main force to be surrounded and killed in the hinterland of Guanzhong, but he also took the opportunity to take a stable strategy.

Fa Zheng actually doesn't agree too much with this policy, mainly because it takes too long to stop and stabilize Liangzhou.

It can be as short as three or five years or as long as ten years......

This may all be highly likely.

But now that Liu Bei has made up his mind, as a subordinate, Fa Zheng also knows that he wants to solve problems for him, and his main task now is to concentrate on planning to rescue more than 10,000 people under Wei Yan's department from the Wei army surrounded on all sides.

However, it is not feasible to rely on one's own external strategy, and it is necessary to get in touch with Wei Yan and negotiate a set of solutions between the two sides!

It was also because of the Wei army's resoluteness in encircling and annihilating Wei Yan that the Jinyang line was now surrounded by water, and it was difficult for ordinary sentinels to pass through.

I am afraid that only they have a glimmer of hope to achieve such a difficult task.

With the movement of the Han army, Cao Zhen, the chief general of the Wei army, still slowly made countermeasures.

With the death of the supreme commander Xiahoudun in battle, due to the urgency of the war, Cao Zhen also took over the command of the state side, and now he is in charge of more than 100,000 troops.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the report of Guo Huai's sentinels, the Shu army has swept along Jingshui and Shangjun respectively, but according to the future, the enemy's main force has suffered a defeat at the beginning, and the morale of the army has declined, and now it should not rashly attack our army."

After a slow sigh, he said slowly: "They should be more engaged in a confrontation with our army on the periphery, so as to win a chance for the Shu army in Jinyang to break through." ”

Inside the camp.

Cao Zhen's fingers kept wandering between the maps like silky, and his face was calmly analyzing.

After a moment of silence, he gave the order aloud.

First of all, he ordered Guo Huai to set up a defensive line along the east bank of Jingshui to resist the Shu army on the Linjing side, and then dispatched Hao Zhao's defense line to defend Luocheng, a city located on the first line of Luoshui, to prevent Wei Yan from breaking through along Shangjun from here.

Later, he sent a guide to continue to lead the army to defend Yanmen, beware of the Huns, Saiwai Xianbei and took advantage of the fire to rob and wantonly Koubian.

Immediately ordered Zhu Ling and Xiahou Nan to lead an army to confront the Shu general Zhao Yun in Xihe to prevent Wei Yan from joining forces with him.

After some deliberations and arrangements, the Wei army was already fully prepared, and it was bound to annihilate Wei Yan's headquarters in one fell swoop.

This determination cannot be shaken no matter what!

This is the edict personally issued by Emperor Cao Pi of Wei.

The great general Xiahoudun died in battle, how could he endure it?

The first general is not only the pillar of the country, but also the face of the country and the face of the Son of Heaven.

This forced army was defeated and self-immolated, how can the people of Wei not be indignant?

The so-called "Son of Heaven is angry, and millions of corpses are ambushed." ”

The current Wei Emperor Cao Pi is already furious, and is ready to drive the royal family to behead Wei Yan with his first blood feud, but he is dissuaded by the ministers.

In desperation, he had to temporarily hand over the dispatch of the army to Cao Zhen for coordination, and ordered him to completely annihilate Wei Yan this time and not allow him to escape.

The order was handed down.

When all the generals were ordered to leave, only Xiahou Nan was silent, standing in place with a godless face and waiting, unmoved!

"Zilin, ...... are you?"

Seeing that Xiahou Nan had not moved for a long time, Cao Zhen also suddenly noticed it, and couldn't help but hurriedly walked over and stretched out his hand to pat his arm, so he encouraged: "Zilin, Uncle Xiahou's late uncle and I are all sad and painful, but now the war is not over, Jinyang and other important towns are still in the hands of the enemy, and the murderer who forced my uncle to self-immolate is still in the city, and the situation of my Great Wei at the moment is already in an unfavorable stage." ”

"Zilin, this time you must cheer up and fight to protect the safety of Great Wei!"

After a few words of encouragement again, Cao Zhen comforted him again: "Uncle Xiahou has done his best to defend Jinyang, and he fought for the Great Wei to the last moment, and he definitely doesn't want Zilin to be depressed because of his death." ”

"You should cheer up now, when you resist the Shu thieves, personally cut off Wei Yan's head and go to your uncle's tomb to pay respects, so that your uncle can rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

After some encouragement and appeasement, Xiahou Nan's too uncomfortable and grief-stricken mind gradually recovered......

Cao Zhen can also understand Xiahou Nan's state of mind at this time.

After all, his father had just passed away, and under such circumstances, it was indeed extremely difficult to change the face of Lei Ling Feng to command the battle.

But in the next second, Xiahou Nan suddenly shouted: "The last general is ordered!" ”
