"Dangdangdang...... Dear compatriots of Dawu, the audience friends of Yangjing and Sanzhou, as well as the overseas compatriots of Yizhou, and the Shanyue and Wulingman friends in the mountains who are not on the government's civil register...... Today is the third day of the tenth month of the sixth year of Yong'an (the year name of Emperor Sun Xiu of Eastern Wu Jing, that is, 263 AD). Good evening, everyone! I am the host Liuluo, I am the host Quan Huixi...... Welcome to Dawu News! ”

"Here's the main takeaway from this news."

"The envoy of Xishu and the general of the Zhenjun Army, Zong Qian, arrived in Jianye yesterday for a friendly visit to our country. He was cordially received by His Majesty the Emperor of our country. ”

"The rebellion in Jiaozhou has been vigorously suppressed by the imperial army. The thief chieftain Lu Xing has been killed...... General Zhengnan said that under the wise leadership of His Majesty the Emperor, a slight rebellion would not affect the stability and prosperity of Great Wu. ”

"Recently, His Majesty the Emperor once again came to Guoxue. Cordial condolences were given to the teachers and students in the Chinese culture. The teachers and students of Chinese culture expressed a warm welcome to His Majesty the Emperor......"

The "Into the Truth" column will report for you later: Recently, news came out of the palace. Last month, His Majesty the Emperor fell ill and asked a male witch to treat him. To verify that the witch was psychievous, His Majesty killed a goose and buried it in a tomb. He told the witch that there was a woman buried in the grave and asked the witch to describe the woman's appearance. The witch looked at the grave for a day and said he saw only one goose and no woman......"

……

Let's move on to the in-depth report. According to Zong Pre, the envoy of Xishu who came to Jianye yesterday, revealed. At the beginning of August this year, the Wei State in the north launched an army of 180,000 troops to attack Western Shu in three ways. The northern front of Western Shu has been defeated in successive battles and has fallen into extreme danger. Mr. Zong's visit is called a friendly visit, but it is actually a request for help. So, what is the direction of this war between Wei and Shu, and what impact does it have on my Great Wu? Today, we invited Mr. Lu Youjie, the son of the former prime minister and the general of the town army, to interpret it for us. Everyone is welcome to ......"

"Hello host, hello audience friends, I am Lu Kang Lu Young Festival."

"Ahem, General Lu, please briefly introduce to us the current form of the war between Wei and Shu."

"Okay. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at this topographic map of Yizhou. We know that before August this year, among the 22 counties in Xishu, the northernmost three counties from west to east were Yinping County, Wudu County, and Hanzhong County. According to the information we received and the information compiled by the Daewu School Office. As of the end of September this year, the two counties of Yinping and Wudu in Xishu have been completely lost. And Hanzhong County, there are only three strongholds left: Lecheng, Hancheng, and Golden City - and these three strongholds are still surrounded to death. It's a dead move. At present, the 180,000 troops of Wei, except for 25,000 people who are besieging the three strongholds I just mentioned, the remaining 155,000 people, all gathered in the Sword Pavilion and confronted the main force of Xishu with 40,000 people. ”

"Huh? More than 150,000 vs. 40,000? The gap is nearly four times, doesn't that mean that Xishu is dead this time? ”

"Not necessarily. Because the Sword Pavilion is a rare Xiongguan. Everyone, please take a look at this topographic map of the Sword Pavilion in my hand...... This is Longmen Mountain, which lies across the north side of the basin. The whole mountain is extremely steep, and the mountain is almost straight, and it is impossible to climb it at all. To pass through Longmen Mountain, you can only walk through the Sword Pavilion, because there is a canyon here. And now Jiang Wei's 40,000 people are in this canyon and rely on the fortified city to defend ......"

"The crux of the matter is that the canyon is too long and too narrow. If the Wei army wants to attack Jianmen Pass, it will not be able to use it at all in such a narrow terrain. In my personal experience, in such a narrow terrain, the attacking side will not be able to put in more than 2,000 troops at a time...... In other words, although Wei had an army of 150,000 troops, it could only invest 2,000 people to attack at a time...... And the defense force of Xishu is as high as 40,000 people. ”

"Oh, I see. Xishu has this sword pavilion, which is really a rare guarantee. So General Lu, why didn't the Wei army stretch out to the east and west sides of the Sword Pavilion and seek a new passage? ”

"Hehehe, the host is worthy of being the son of General Liuzan, the god of my great Wu song, and this military strategy is not bad...... The Wei army had a great numerical advantage, and it should indeed be spread out to the east and west sides of the Sword Pavilion in order to pull the defensive line of Western Shu. But the terrain here is so special...... Everyone, please see, the west of the Sword Pavilion is the Qionglai Mountains, which are not only high and dangerous, but also often collapse, which is not suitable for the army to enter at all. To the east of the Sword Pavilion is the Daba Mountain System, which can be climbed over, but that is limited to individual soldiers, and the grain transport team behind cannot go up the mountain......"

"So, if the Wei army wants to enter the basin, they can only go to the Sword Pavilion?"

"There are no absolutes in the world. It is not ruled out that there are other shortcuts to the basin that we have not been able to discover, but from the information I have so far, in order to maintain the grain route of the army, the Wei army can only take the Sword Pavilion. ”

"Okay, thank you very much General Lu for your concise introduction. This gives us a general understanding of the current situation of the war between Wei and Shu. To put it simply: after the initial multi-line attack and defense, now the attack and defense of Wei and Shu are concentrated in one point, that is, the Sword Pavilion? ”

"Yes."

"So General Lu, can you predict the direction of this Wei-Shu war?"

"Well, this, it's really hard to say. If you say it from a purely military point of view. If I were the commander of Cao Wei's army, all I was thinking about at this time would be how to withdraw the army safely. Due to various reasons, the Sword Pavilion could not be taken before Xishu invested heavily in defense, and the war was inevitably protracted. Now, due to the loss of the three northern counties of Xishu, the battle line in Xishu has been shortened, and the pressure on grain transportation has been greatly reduced. And now Cao Wei's grain transport team has to cross the Qinling Mountains, Micang Mountain, Longmen Mountain and other mountains, and the logistical pressure of the more than 100,000 troops is extremely great. Even if Cao Wei is strong, it is impossible to support it for a long time. Once the logistics can't keep up, and the more than 100,000 troops are trapped in Shu, it will be quite dangerous. ”

"So you mean?"

"From a purely military point of view, if Cao Wei can't take the Sword Pavilion within two months or enter the basin through other methods, then Cao Wei will face a great defeat!"

"Okay, thank you very much General Lu for your wonderful review. The next question is, what should I do in this war to maximize our interests? Oh, no, it should be what my Great Wu has to do to maximize the interests of the unbreakable Wu Shu Alliance? ”

"Hehehe, Cao Wei's current main force is trapped in the vast mountains of Shudi, this is an excellent opportunity for my Great Wu. The exact message has been received before the present comes here. According to the instructions of His Majesty the Emperor, the general Ding Feng had already rushed to Huainan and was about to supervise the troops to advance to Hefei. Host: Your younger brother, General Liuping, has also led his troops and horses to Nanjun in Jingzhou, where he will join the troops of General Shi Ji, and is about to launch an attack on Xiangyang in Wei. In addition, His Majesty has issued an order to order the Xiling Governor Bujia to prepare and send soldiers and horses into Jianping County, ready to enter the territory of Shu to support Western Shu. ”

"Oh my God, are you going to use my private soldiers again? Yes? No, no, no? Director, I want to cut out that sentence just now...... Well, are my sons and daughters going to the battlefield again to show their heroism? All right! Well, Sister Quan, what do you mean by sitting there all the time without saying a word? ”

"My husband died violently before he was twenty years old, there must be something shady in this. This should be the main feature for the next in-depth report......"

"Director, cut out the part just now! Hey, I'm so tired of being a host. Well, let's get back to business: General Lu, you just said that from a purely military point of view, Xishu is most likely in danger this time. But based on our Great Wu's understanding of Xishu, Xishu's army has never fought a purely military battle, right? ”

"Well, host, you have a point. In fact, starting with Liu Bei in Western Shu, its military has always served their politics. It is true that they have never fought purely military battles. ”

"So, the level of the leaders of Xishu is ...... now"

"It's really worrying, and it's really unreliable."

"Can you be specific?"

"Absolutely. Liu Chan is a pig, Zhuge Zhan is a peacock who thinks very highly of himself but has no ability, and Huang Hao, hehehe......."

"Your opinion is the unanimous opinion of my Dawu. So, what if this group of guys blindly commanded, causing Xishu to lose the Sword Pavilion in a short period of time or let the Wei army enter the basin through other means? ”

"Then Xishu will be destroyed."

"So what do we do if we find ourselves in this situation?"

"From the bottom of my heart, it's hard to like the group of dead perverts who know all day long that they are engaged in (anti-harmony) base. But in the current situation where Cao Wei's family is dominant, we still need Xishu as an ally. If this ally is gone, the pressure on our Great Wu will be too great...... If this situation really arises, the only thing we can do is to seize Badong County in Xishu as soon as possible. Grasp the entire Yangtze River in your own hands! ”
