Chapter 485: The Last Battle

Central Plains Kefu.

At present, the voice of the "Sanxing Han Room" on the Shu and Han sides has become higher and higher, and the momentum and public opinion among the states and counties are spreading vigorously.

The unification of the world by the Han army is inevitable!

Since the Wei army moved the capital to Yecheng, defeated the Central Plains, and lost its strength, Saihu, which is now entrenched in Youyan, such as Xianbei, Wuhuan and Gongsun Yuan, who is entrenched in Liaodong, have all had a heart of disobedience and the idea of rebellion.

Even.

Now that the Xianbei Khan Kebi, who has risen to prominence in the Mobei area, can hear about the death of Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, who once threatened Saihu, his ambition to touch the Central Plains was once again ignited in his chest.

And he also sent an envoy to the royal court of Helan Mountain this time to persuade Bu Dugen to give up his past grievances and join his troops to lead the crowd to sweep the border pass.

All of a sudden, the Yanshan defense in the Shanggu and Yuyang areas, as well as the Yinshan defense line in Yanmen and Daijun, couldn't help but feel the pressure doubly with the frequent assembly of the Saiwai Zhuhu.

Border defense has been increased one after another.

In desperation, in order to avoid being attacked by the Hu people, Cao Rong, the son of heaven, had to use Sima Yi as the commander again, and led more than 10,000 Praetorian Guards to Gaoliu in Daijun to sit in the town, and resist the attack of the Hu people with the governor's border war.

As for Cao Xiu, he fully presided over the arrangement of heavy troops between the ferries along the Yellow River to block the strong attack of the Shu army.

On the other hand, even though the defeat on the Eastern Front led to the loss of the hinterland of the Central Plains, because the war situation in Yongzhou on the Western Front was still stable and had not yet reached the point where it could be abandoned, it continued to send Cao Zhen to lead the generals to send troops to defend and fight with Zhuge Liang.

And due to the loss of the large rear of Guandong, and the Guanzhong Plain was occupied by the Shu army, the Wei army could not win the field battle, so it was naturally impossible to expel it.

The stockpiles are gradually running out......

However, they were unable to organize spring ploughing and raise military rations......

Military supplies had to rely on Hebei Prefectures to be transferred to the counties of Bingzhou, and after tirelessly passing through hundreds of miles of Taihang Mountains to Hedong, they were transported from Pubanjin to Chang'an.

But how much logistical pressure will be on this?

Even if it is as rich as Hebei, it can't withstand the consumption of the past.

Therefore, in the face of such an unfavorable situation, Cao Zhen was anxious, and began to think hard about thinking about countermeasures, thinking about how to break the eight formations of Shu Xiang Zhuge Liang in the field and expel the Shu army from the Guanzhong Plain.

And because of the previous experience of Wei Yan's lone army going deep into Jinyang, and now in the face of the Shu army's march into the counties of Bingzhou, the Wei army is only supplemented by partial divisions to defend against danger, in order to avoid short-handed encounters.

Although Wei Yan now vowed to lead his troops to capture the annexed state, he was also temporarily blocked, and the situation had to be helpless to stalemate.

The key to the battle situation on the Western Front also shifted to the confrontation between Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and Cao Zhen.

It's just that with the pacification of the Central Plains, Zhuge Liang's situation is not in a hurry now, but every day the battalion organizes generals to train sergeants, consolidate the deployment of the Eight Formations, and strengthen the relationship between the farmers in Tuntian and Weibin.

Limited by logistical pressure, Cao Zhen is really impatient now!

But even so, Cao Zhen led the army to fight again, and he was still helpless against the Han army between the battles.

There was another stalemate between the two armies.

On the other hand, Guan Ping personally sat in Luoyang, and sent Wu generals Quan Cong and Song Qian, who were attached to the Tai Commanders of Zhou, to lead their troops to attack Tongguan to the west, in order to threaten Chang'an from the east, forcing the Wei army to be unable to engage his own side wholeheartedly.

……

Han Jianxing five years, September.

In the autumn harvest season, the Han and Wei sides in Guanzhong have been facing each other for nearly half a year, and the effect of the Han army's tuntian has been undoubtedly revealed.

On the other hand, the Wei army, where it is based, has no way of making ends meet.

After all, the most fertile Weihe Plain in Guanzhong is firmly occupied by Zhuge Liang, so how can they have any harvest to speak of?

After a stalemate for most of the year, there has been no further new progress in the war in Guanzhong, but the supply from Hebei Prefectures has been difficult to maintain.

In the end, the high-level of Wei unanimously discussed, and the emperor Cao Rong issued an edict, ordering Cao Zhen to lead his troops to clear the wall, and lead his troops to support the bamboo raft from Pubanjin to cross the Yellow River and enter the east of the river to fortify the defense.

As a result, the Battle of Guanzhong did not break out into a large-scale war, and ended in a stalemate and attrition with the Wei side unable to hold on.

The Han army officially regained Chang'an, Xijing.

As a result, the ideal of reviving the Han dynasty and returning it to the old capital has been realized.

At this moment, the Han army once again burst out with strong faith.

Maybe the last battle is about to begin.

If you win, the Han Dynasty will prosper the Han Dynasty, dominate the world, and end the troubled times.

They will also become the founding heroes of the new world, enough to leave a name in history for future generations to sing.

It's a pity that in this year in Pingding Guanzhong, Shang Shufazheng died of illness at the age of more than 55.

For the loss of such important ministers of this country, Liu Chan, the son of heaven, was heartbroken, and learned from the pain to hold a funeral for Fa Zheng, and posthumously became the marquis of Yi.

And gave his son Fa Miao Guan Neihou, enshrined the Che Du Lieutenant, Hanyang Taishou, and continued to stay under the general Guan Ping's account to listen to it.

After Fa Zheng was buried, Liu Chan, the son of heaven, wrote to the two important ministers of the country, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and General Guan Ping, asking about the relocation of the capital.

But the answer came differently.

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang considered strategically and politically, and believed that it was better to move the capital sooner rather than later, and Chengdu was located in the closed Xichuan, with inconvenient transportation.

But now that the territory of the Han Dynasty is unprecedentedly strong, if Chengdu is the capital of the Han Dynasty, it will be extremely inconvenient to control and govern the world.

In the end, he put forward his own proposition that the capital should be immediately moved to "Chang'an" in order to return to the western capital.

Inherited the capital of the Han Dynasty.

This is also Zhuge Liang's implicit exhortation to Liu Chan, the Son of Heaven, to use copper as a mirror, to know the gains and losses, knowing that the first Han Dynasty was strong because of the pro-virtuous ministers and far villains, while the Later Han Dynasty was decayed because of the pro-villain and the far virtuous ministers.

A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future.

"Your Majesty must not be taken seriously!"

After slowly reading Zhuge Liang's persuasion form, he immediately spread out Guan Ping's letter.

However, compared to Zhuge Liang's letterhead, this is much simpler.

"It is imperative for the Han Dynasty to move the capital, and the minister does not object, but the minister also hopes that His Majesty can focus on the overall situation, and now he should eliminate Cao Wei, support the Han family, unify the world, end the troubled times, and let the people of the Han states and counties live a peaceful life."

"As for the relocation of the capital, it will cause great national affairs, it will definitely cost the people and money, affect the military use of troops, and delay the progress of the war against Wei, which the minister thinks is not advisable!"

In the end, Guan Ping persuaded him: "The minister implores Your Majesty to give priority to the military first, and when our army dominates the world, then move the capital to benefit the people of the Han Dynasty." ”

"I hope Your Majesty thinks about it and is cautious!"

The conciseness of the letterhead is, on the one hand, due to the fact that Guan Ping does not have Zhuge Liang's erudite and talented literary style, and cannot find examples that can be cited from the classics...... On the other hand, I don't think it's necessary......

He felt that as long as the causes and consequences of the opposition were analyzed, and the pros and cons of the total, the Son of Heaven would naturally know how to choose.

After weighing and thinking about it, Liu Chan planned for the world, and finally finalized Guan Ping's plan and postponed the relocation of the capital.

Because of the fact that this year is the Central Plains, all the land south of the Yellow River is worth celebrating.

Liu Chan, the Son of Heaven, decided to change the yuan to "Jianxing", and the following year was the first year of "Yanxi".

Winter October.

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang garrisoned Chang'an to raise the people and colonize the valley, develop the economy, enrich the national strength, and treat the people well.

The ruined Guanzhong was gradually restored.

In the spring and March of the first year of Han Yanxi (230).

Prime Minister Zhuge Liang sent Ma Jian as a general, and his disciple Jiang Weifu was sent to command 7,000 elite cavalry, and with the assistance of the old Hexi generals such as Oh He and Yao Ge, as well as the new Qiang king of Baima Qiang, Yang Wan, sent the Qiang people to the west through the Hexi Corridor.

Out of the Yumen Pass and into the Western Regions.

Originally, Ma Chao pacified several counties in Hexi and opened up the Hexi Corridor, so he intended to go out of the customs to clear the Western Regions that had been out of control for many years, but due to his sudden death, the plan to go west was put on hold.

Now, in order to restart the Silk Road, Zhuge Liang dispatched elite cavalry to travel thousands of miles again through the desert to conquer the Western Regions.

Meanwhile.

After several years of naval formation, the Qingzhou Navy has become extremely powerful, now has more than 50,000 troops, the craft of sea ships has also progressed rapidly, and the creation of the compass has become more and more advanced, which is enough to support the navy to go deep into the sea for expeditions.

In addition, Navy Governor Lu Xun also set up a marine corps of more than 1,000 people on the order of Guan Ping, which was specially used for amphibious operations.

Summer April.

Lu Xun followed Guan Ping's instructions, and led his troops to go all the way from Jiangdu to the sea, all the way to the east, looking for the eastern island in the vast sea.

Summer May.

As the situation in the Central Plains states became more and more stable, the combat strength of the Han army was increasing day by day, and the soldiers were full of food, sitting on more than 100,000 elites.

Guan Ping, the general of the Han Dynasty, once again wrote to Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Chang'an, and Liu Chan, the son of heaven, putting the plan of crossing the river to conquer Wei and unifying the world on the agenda.

The final battle is coming!
