On the third day of October in the first year of Yanxing, CD, the great court meeting of the Shu Han court.

Compared with a month ago, the atmosphere of today's grand court meeting in the Shu Han Dynasty is very different.

A month ago, at the beginning of September. When the news of the fall of Yinping County, the fall of Wudu County, and especially the fall of Yang'an Pass came. The entire Shu Han Dynasty was simply dead silent - the Yizhou faction was happy in their hearts and it was difficult to express it, the Dongzhou faction was too lazy to express, and the Jingzhou faction and the Yuancong faction were really uncomfortable in their hearts than the dead old lady!

Of course, the most uncomfortable thing is Boss Liu Chan. How so? How so? I sincerely pray to the heavens, doesn't the heavens also say that the pseudo-Wei will either not come, or if he comes, he will be defeated? Why is it that the one who has lost his teacher and lost his land has become my big man now?

So, throughout the month of September, Boss Liu became a two-faced man: in the court, Boss Liu was a model of diligence, urging his ministers to calculate the soldiers, horses, money and food all day long, and invited the old and dying of illness to send out the envoy to Eastern Wu, and ordered the Yong'an Corps, which is currently the strongest combat effectiveness in the rear of Shu Han, to move to the CD...... On the other hand, in the harem, Boss Liu is a tyrant he has never seen before. The palace maids and eunuchs in the harem will be beaten by Boss Liu if they are not careful, and in the past month, the palace maids and eunuchs who have been killed in the palace have exceeded five - this number has exceeded the total number of unnatural deaths of harem staff in the more than 40 years since the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty.

However, as Zhong Hui's army was blocked by Jiang Wei in the Sword Pavilion, he was unable to advance an inch for more than a month. The originally panicked Shu Han court slowly stabilized again: the Yizhou faction was extremely disappointed in their hearts, but they still had to pretend to have an expression of "God bless my big man" on their faces. Of course, the Dongzhou faction is indispensable to continue. And the Jingzhou faction, which was the most flustered before, completely forgot their ugliness a month ago, and once again became arrogant - this arrogant attitude reached its peak yesterday - because now in the Jingzhou faction, the most powerful and the highest military governor of Jingzhou, Yan Yu, the right general, entered the city with 8,000 Yongan soldiers!

"Yan Yu, the general of the minister's right, was ordered by His Majesty to lead the Yong'an army into the CD to prepare for the thieves. Yesterday, all 8,000 Yongan troops had arrived at CD and had set up camp in the north of the city. Chente enters the palace and informs Your Majesty! ”

"Good, General Right has worked hard. Well, does General Right have anything to say about today's battle situation? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Our Guan Yi children's shoes have been out of everyone's sight for a long time - there is no way, he has taken the initiative to ask for war many times, but in Boss Liu's heart, Guan Yi needs to be paid attention to, and the 3,000 people newly trained by Guan Yi are indeed not priced in the eyes of Boss Liu. Don't talk about him Guan Yi, I didn't see that Huo Yi, the governor of Nanzhong, had suppressed Boss Liu's application for war.

Not only that, Boss Liu also sent a special letter to Guan Yi: Comrade Yan Yu led the main force of the Yongan Army to CD, and now there are only 2,000 people from Luo Xian in Badong County. This Eastern Wu, don't look at it as an ally, it's actually worse than the pseudo-Wei. So your 3,000 soldiers and horses can first move to Tongxian (the confluence of the Wujiang River and the Yangtze River, now Fuling District, Chongqing). Once the Dongwu side has an idea about Padang County, you will hurry down the east of the river to support Luo Xian! So, don't come to CD for your people.

(Boss!) You don't even know what's going on! Don't think that the pseudo-Wei is blocked in the Sword Pavilion now, and we will be safe! Hey, forget it, you're not a traverser, I don't blame you for not seeing this. I'll go find Yan Yu, the key to victory or defeat in this war is actually not in Jinggu Dao, but in Jiangyou! ）

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Oh? What is the high opinion of the right general? ”

"Your Majesty, now the Great General is leading two chariot cavalry generals to block the Sword Pavilion, and the main force of the pseudo-Wei is not allowed to advance an inch. However, we must also beware of the enemy spreading from the east and west sides of the Sword Pavilion. To the east of this is Daba Mountain, which is not a big problem. However, the Qionglai Mountains to the west run north-south, and there are many canyons that lead directly to the basin. And the exits of these canyons are almost all in Jiangyou. Therefore, the minister asks His Majesty for permission to let the minister lead 8,000 Yongan troops into Jiangyou and station! ”

When Yan Yu said these words, he couldn't help but think of what Guan Yi said to him when his army passed through Tong County.

"The right general is going to CD, and he should do something."

"Hey~~~ Zifeng, if this is going to do something, it will really not be the blessing of the Han. Because, that means that the Sword Pavilion has been broken through. ”

"Hehehe, the puppet Wei 180,000 army Mount Tai is overwhelming, if it is really the Sword Pavilion that has been broken through, the right general has nothing to do with these 8,000 Yong'an army. What Guan Yi said is here! Jiangyou! ”

"Jiang You?"

"It's Jiangyou. With the ability of the right general, it must be seen that if the puppet Wei wants to break through the sword pavilion guarded by the main force of the general, it will be impossible. If the enemy chieftain wanted to enter the basin, he had to spread his army east-west and find new passages. ”

"Well, what Zifeng said is reasonable, please continue."

"Let's talk about the east side first, Yi thinks that Zhong will not spread the main force to the east. Because, to the east of the Sword Pavilion is the east-west Daba Mountain. He wants to unfold the army, I'm afraid it will have to be unfolded all the way to Soochow before he can circle back again. ”

Of course, the steepness of Daba Mountain is not much worse than that of Qinling, and for more than 40 years, due to the conscious blocking of Daba Mountain traffic by the first emperor and the prime minister, there is not even a decent plank road in the entire Daba Mountain Range. So, what about Simeon? ”

"The west side is also reasonably safer. Because hundreds of miles west of the Sword Pavilion are deserted. Traveling here, there are no supplies to be found at all. As long as the commander of the puppet Wei does not go crazy, he will definitely not take this path. ”

"Hehehe, what Zifeng is going to say later will be known. This time the pseudo-Wei offended me, and the Vertical Bell Club took a lot of credit because of Jiang Shu's traitor. This veteran Deng Ai is extremely unwilling in his heart, so he will definitely go crazy, right? ”

"The right general is too much better than the general with this alone!"

"Eh, Zifeng, don't be a sycophant, get down to business!"

I'm not slapping you on the back. Your military talent may be much worse than Jiang Wei's, but Jiang Wei doesn't deserve to lift your shoes in terms of power struggle! Just like the psychology of Deng Ai you just mentioned, Jiang Wei, a political idiot, would never have thought of it.

"As General Right said, Deng Ai will definitely go crazy. To the west of the Sword Pavilion is the Qionglai Mountains. This mountain range is not running east-west, between us and the puppet Wei. He is in a north-south direction. Its north end is in the northwest of Sword Pavilion, and the south end is in Jiangyou! Although the road is deserted and the road is extremely steep. But after all, there is a canyon that can be passed. ”

"So, if the enemy's commander-in-chief takes a military adventure in order to achieve military success. So no matter which canyon he walked from in the Qionglai Mountains, its exit was in Jiangyou? ”

"Exactly. General You, imagine if Deng Ai led the troops to walk down the Jinggu Road in the Qionglai Mountains - six or seven hundred miles of uninhabited and dangerous mountains. How much combat power does this army still have? At this time, General Right led the elite of Yong'an to wait for work in Jiangyou, and when Deng Ai arrived, he was captured in one fell swoop......"

……

"So Your Majesty, the main force of the general is now in the Sword Pavilion, and the minister's army will not play much role if he goes there. On the other hand, Jiangyou needs to prepare first in case of emergency. Therefore, the minister asked for orders and led the Yongan Army to Jiangyou to garrison. Fill in this last omission! ”

"Well...... "Well, in fact, Boss Liu doesn't understand military affairs at all, no, it should be said that no one in the Shu Han Dynasty understands military affairs except for Yan Yu."

"Uh...... What about General Wei's opinion? "Yes, Liu Chan actually asked Zhuge Zhan - his father can fight, will he fight?

"Uh...... Your Majesty, the Right General. In fact, the general also mentioned the importance of Jiangyou's defense in his recent recital to the CD. It is said that it was also Guan Zifeng's proposal. Originally, the general meant to send Dong Taishou (Dong Ju) to lead 3,000 troops to garrison Jiangyou. But now there are a lot of things in the court, and I can't wait to be busy, so I left Dong Taishou in Shangshutai to help. Now Jiangyou is there is Jiangyou County Magistrate Ma Miao and Dong Taishou's eldest son Dong Ming and Dong Chongliang led an army of 3,000 people to defend it. If the eight thousand people of the Right General also go there, will it be too many? It should be known that Jiangyou is more than 200 miles away from the Sword Pavilion. With such a large number of troops placed in such a remote place, if something went wrong with the Sword Pavilion, these more than 10,000 troops would not be able to react at all! ”

"What does General Wei mean?"

"Your Majesty, the minister means that Jiangyou will continue to be guarded by three thousand people led by Ma Miao and Dong Ming. On the CD side, the minister led 10,000 Yulin to join the 8,000 Yong'an army of the right general. Settled in Fucheng. Fucheng, located in the traffic hub, whether it is the sword pavilion in the north or the Jiangyou in the northwest, there are official roads to communicate. No matter which direction there is a problem, you can respond quickly! ”

"Well, General Wei's words are very agreeable."

"Your Majesty ......" is really a bureaucrat who succeeds and a bureaucrat who fails. Because Yan Yu was not a pure soldier, it was much easier for Guan Yi to communicate with him than with Jiang Wei. At least Yan Yu was more receptive to Deng Ai's possibility of launching a military adventure than Jiang Wei. But it was precisely because Yan Yu was a bureaucrat that he could not follow through when both the emperor and Zhuge Zhan said that they would not adopt his opinion.

"Maybe Deng Ai won't be so crazy, right? Even if Deng Ai is so crazy and Jiangyou is so strong, it will be no problem to support our reinforcements until they arrive. Forget it, don't offend Zhuge Zhan and His Majesty because of these things. ”

When three days later, Guan Yi received the CD of the flying pigeon message, and couldn't help but touch his forehead with his hand: Zhuge Zhan, you idiot! If you don't lose your father's work, you will never be reconciled!
