Chapter 578: The Battle of Destroying Cao (40)
Yan Liang, who has always been war-loving, also said: "At the end of today, I will attack Pingxing, although I have killed the city tower many times, but there are too many enemy troops in the city, resulting in a failure." It's not a way to go on for a long time. ”
"Due south."
"Yes." The judge heard Yuan Xi calling him and hurried out of the ranks.
"What do you think?"
"Minister..." The judge glanced at Jia Xu and had a complicated mood.
In normal times, he would definitely oppose Jia Xu and insist on his own ideas. This is not only for the sake of the war situation, but also for the declaration of one's political presence. If Jia Xu spoke, he quickly agreed to echo him, would it be necessary for Yuan Xi to pay attention to him in the future.
But today, what Jia Xu said is very reasonable.
According to Jia Xu's plan, the Hebei army does not need to fight at all, just sit back and wait for victory. Cao Liu's hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped, unable to escape, and had no food, so they would definitely be defeated.
This is of great benefit to the Hebei Army.
The judge really didn't want to destroy this benefit, so he responded: "The minister reconsiders." ”
"Okay."
Yuan Xi looked at Jia Xu: "Wenhe, I'll try it according to what you said, it's a big deal to spend hundreds of thousands of more grains, I don't care." I can afford it in Hebei. ”
"Generals..."
The generals looked upright.
Yuan Xi said: "We are now making adjustments to the strategy. General Yan Liang, General Ma Chao, and General Gao Lan, led 250,000 troops, and stationed here to prevent Liu Bei from escaping. General Hao Zhao led 70,000 troops and confronted Cao Cao in Xuchang, and I would tell him not to engage the enemy in order to trap the enemy. In addition, the remaining soldiers and horses, about 30,000 to 50,000, accompanied me to Huainan to help in the battle, because Zhou Yu was rushing to attack Yangzhou, and I was worried that Yu Ban would not be able to support it. At the same time, I will order General Jiang Wei to capture Hanzhong, let Gan Ning control Neijiang, and let General Pang De capture Wancheng to hold on, because Zhang Liao left Wancheng, Wancheng is already empty, and now is the best time to seize it. ”
Jia Xu arched his hand: "The lord has arranged it like this, and the ministers expect that within a few months, our army will win." ”
"Yes..."
All the generals answered.
.........
Jiang Wei, who had disappeared for twenty days, arrived at Shangyong City, the gateway to Hanzhong, by surprise.
It is difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The soldiers and horses brought by Jiang Wei were all cavalry, and they could not attack the city.
However, he suddenly appeared outside Shangyong City, and Shangyong's defenders were defenseless, and even the city gate was open. The people were still walking back and forth, a peaceful and casual scene.
Jiang Weiqin led all the cavalry and rushed into the city.
It was easy to take the city.
"Zhang Heng." Jiang Wei called the partial general Zhang Heng and instructed: "Shangyong is just a small city, it is useless, you quickly arrange five hundred soldiers to guard it, and go straight to Nanzheng with me." Nanzheng is the county of Hanzhong, and only by capturing there can he be regarded as controlling Hanzhong. ”
"No."
Zhang Heng went to arrange the soldiers who stayed behind.
Jiang Wei was worried that Zhuge Liang would send troops to Hanzhong, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and first led five thousand iron cavalry to Nanzheng.
Nanzheng stayed behind with 15,000 Yizhou troops, and the general who led the army was Meng Da.
Since Liu Bei led his army to leave Yizhou, he was ordered to stay in Hanzhong.
In his mind, no matter how lively the Central Plains fight is, it will not affect here. His army was stationed in the Nanzheng school field, and there were almost no drills, nor did they guard the city, let alone prepare to defend the city.
Jiang Wei's arrival, he didn't know it from beginning to end.
"Kill..." Thousands of cavalry arrived in Nanzheng.
The situation here is the same as that of Shangyongcheng, which is defenseless, and the city gates are open.
Jiang Wei led the army to rush in easily.
"Where's Munda?" Jiang Wei grabbed a few enemy soldiers and asked.
"In... In the castle guard. The soldier replied tremblingly.
"Go to the castle guard."
Jiang Wei led the army to the city guard mansion and grabbed Meng Da in the bed.
Until now, he didn't know what had happened.
"You... Are you Jiang Wei? Meng Da was shocked when he saw the flag outside the courtyard.
"Count yourself insightful." Jiang Wei found a place to sit down, and said to Meng Da: "General Ben pretended to attack Xiliang, but in fact, he made a surprise attack and captured Shangyong and the Southern Expedition, and you are still sleeping." Hahaha... I really can't believe that Hanzhong's defense is so lax. ”
Meng Dadong looked around, looking anxious.
Jiang Wei smiled: "Don't think about running away, it's all my troops outside, you can't escape, or listen to me honestly, I may be able to give you a way to live." ”
"Yes, yes... Please command, general. Meng Da also knew that the situation was irreversible and had given up his intention to struggle.
"How many troops are there in the city of the Southern Expedition? Where are they stationed? And how many troops are there in Hanzhong? Where are they being guarded? You are truthful. Jiang Weidao.
"I don't dare to hide it..." Meng Da made everything clear.
Jiang Wei took Meng Da to the Nanzheng School Field, surrendered all the Hanzhong troops, disarmed and imprisoned.
Fifteen thousand soldiers, without any resistance.
Meng Da also expressed his willingness to submit to Yuan Xi.
Things went surprisingly well, and even Jiang Wei couldn't believe it.
But according to his verification, Meng Da was originally Liu Zhang's general, and he did not hesitate when he returned to Liu Bei. It can be seen that for Meng Da, allegiance to everyone is the same, as long as he can save his life.
For such a person, it is possible to trust it temporarily, but it cannot be attached to military power.
Zhang Heng led the army to Nanzheng and joined Jiang Wei.
At this time, Zhuge Liang sent a letter to Hanzhong, instructing Meng Da to guard and not be attacked by Jiang Wei.
After Jiang Wei read the letter, he laughed a few times: "Although Zhuge Liang has foresight, he woke up too late.... ”
Meng Da said on the side: "General Yushang, Zhuge Kongming, clever and calculating, very good at leading troops, you need to be well guarded." ”
"Are you worried that he will capture Hanzhong and punish you?" Jiang Wei sneered: "Don't worry, Hanzhong is already in my hands, how can Zhuge Liang take it back?" ”
"Yes, the general's journey of thousands of miles, the clever capture of Hanzhong, no matter how clever Zhuge Liang is, he will definitely not be the general's opponent." Meng Da slapped a sycophant.
Jiang Wei snorted: "You don't talk about these sweet nonsense, tell me quickly." What other armies are there in Hanzhong? Where are they stationed? I want to occupy the whole territory of Hanzhong as soon as possible. ”
"Yes."
Meng Da introduced the situation in Hanzhong to Jiang Wei one by one.
Especially where would Zhuge Liang come out if he wanted to capture Hanzhong.
Jiang Wei carefully studied the terrain of Hanzhong, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Judging from the map, Hanzhong is not an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, or even on the contrary, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Once Zhuge Liang's army entered Hanzhong, it was difficult for him to resist.
Meng Da said: "General, Zhuge Liang will definitely pass through the Thousand Miles of Shu Road when he sends troops from Yizhou, and then to Jiange Pass, and then to Yangping Pass." You must guard Yangping Pass, that is the only way for Zhuge Liang. It is also the only dangerous pass in Hanzhong. ”
"You're right, but..."
Jiang Wei was very difficult.
He doesn't have an infantry in his hands now.
The 15,000 Hanzhong troops that had just surrendered could not be used, so what could they take to defend Yangping Pass?
Not only that, but he also had to watch out for Meng Da in front of him, who could stab him in the back at any time.
