As Xu Cong's voice sounded, everyone in the big tent became nervous. Some of the younger ones unconsciously pressed their hands on their swords.

In the end, it was a fierce general who had fought among thousands of troops and horses, Zhang Hu stood up, pressed his hands down gently, and agreed in a steady voice: "The grass people and others welcome Mu Xianghou." ”

This is really hypocritical. Although it was said that in the Wei, Jin, and Chan dynasties, the county marquis titles and fiefs of these four families were all gone. But there is still an official position of a captain and a lieutenant, and they are still far from the class of "grass people".

"Hehehe, my uncle said this, but it really tormented the little nephew." With this heroic laughter, a strong man who moved the tower strode in: "Yo, everyone is here." I said that I wanted to find Zi Shi and Zi Yin's brothers to drink tonight, why couldn't I find anyone? Well, uncles, brothers, what are you talking about tonight? ”

After Zhang Hu and Zhang Xiong glanced at each other, Zhang Hu smiled slightly: "Ziyuxian nephew, what do you think we are talking about when we get together?" ”

"Hehe, since my uncle asked. The little nephew will just say it. Just now, Cao Cao, who accompanied the army, came to report to me. It is said that the two uncles met with people outside the army last night and this afternoon. And you all have a meeting together tonight, hehehe......"

Although Jia Chong is now in control of Jin Cao, Jia Chong will not be stupid enough to publicly issue an order to all the Jin Cao staff that you must cooperate with the rebellion of Zhang Hu and others. Therefore, the non-Jia Chongyan Jin Cao personnel were still very keen to discover the problems of Zhang Hu and others.

"If you have too many words, the little nephew will not say anything. The little nephew is now in Luoyang, and he doesn't dare to make an accident at this time. But the ancestor of the little nephew was a loyal minister of Emperor Wu of Wei, and the little nephew was also a courtier of the Great Wei when he was born. Therefore, what the little nephew can say about this matter is: In this army, the little nephew tries to suppress all things as much as possible. When the time comes, when the uncles and brothers are about to leave, the little nephew will try to cooperate. At this point, the little nephew retired! ”

Looking at Xu Cong's back, Zhang Hu and the others glanced at each other: Hey, it's not a secret. Fortunately, the grandson at least remained neutral in good faith.

Nothing was said all night. The next day, Wang Hun's order came down: the whole army withdrew to the north of Xiling City and concentrated.

Then, beginning in mid-October, the Jin army attacked the Wu army's wooden walls as much as possible, and this military operation continued until mid-November, with heavy casualties on both sides.

And on the other side...... Yong'an Palace in Badong County, Shuhan. Guan Yi also arrived here in mid-October.

At this time, in the Yong'an Governor's Mansion, there was a lot of noise. Guan Yi, Huo Zai, Sun Gang, Lu Ya, Ju Ning, Luo Xian and others gathered together. is discussing how to pull a part of itself from the fat of the Bu family.

"Hey, it's October 18th, right? Since Shi Gongxu sent troops to Xiling in June this year, it has been more than four months. Are these Wu dogs still there? When did they become so resilient? ”

"Da Sima, Xiling is different. That was the choke point of the state of Wu. Without Xiling, there is no danger to defend in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. For a country like Soochow, Xiling, Xunyang, and Jianye are three strategic places related to the life and death of their country. Unless they voluntarily die of their own country, they will never give up. ”

"Hah! Ling Ze said it well. But it's been so long now, and Wang Xuanchong of the Jin Kingdom can't hold on anymore, right? ”

"According to the information sent by our Si Wencao, the 50,000 troops of the Jin State should have lost one-fifth."

"Hmph, almost. Let's get ready to do it, too. If you're late, you won't get anything. Listen to the order. ”

"I'm waiting for Da Sima's order!"

"Zhongle, you go to Hanzhong County in person. Let Ling Xing and Hui raise 5,000 troops to enter the Golden City, and then put on the appearance that our army wants to take advantage of the weakness to attack Weixing County. ”

"Subordinates receive orders."

"Well, if you go this time, you must show me that reckless man. We are just making a show in the Golden City to help Zhang Hu and the others attract Liu Qin's small army. We don't climb Nangong Mountain ourselves. You went to Hanzhong, you have to help me keep an eye on Zhang Lingxing! No matter what happened to Weixing County, he was not allowed to cross the Golden City and enter Weixing County. If even Liu Qin can't take it, then the descendants of these five good generals will only be a burden to us, but they will have no value! ”

"The subordinates understand, and they must act in strict accordance with Da Sima's instructions."

"Well, I'll count the time...... In this way, it is now October 18th. Yong'an to Hanzhong, flying pigeons to pass the book is three or four days. It will take you about fifteen days to get there. I asked Ling Xing and Huixing to prepare soldiers and horses first. When you go, start it. The momentum is a little bigger. When the time comes, I will see if the Jin army will withdraw! ”

……

On November 15, north of Xiling City, the Jin army camped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there was an urgent message from the King of Runan last night. It is said that Weixing County Taishou Liu Qin is in an urgent report, and Zhang Zun, the Taishou of Hanzhong County in Western Shu, led an army of 5,000 troops to enter the Golden City, and looked down on Nangong Road in Weixing County. The king of Runan asked me if we could send a part of our troops to support Weixing County. ”

As soon as Wang Hun said this, many of the leading generals in the tent looked extremely anxious.

"Hey! Shu thief! At this time, seeing that my Weixing County garrison is weak, do you want to come to betray the alliance? (Guan Yi: Speaking of which, your family doesn't seem to have signed an alliance with Soochow)

"General Wang, the last general Hu Lie is invited to fight! Please ask the general to give me a 3,000-strong army and horse, and I will gallop to Weixing County in the starry night. Let the Shu thieves not be allowed to enter Nangong Road for half a step! ”

"Hey, after a few months of fighting, our army has lost nearly 10,000 people before and after, if we have to withdraw the army ...... at this time"

Listening to the chaotic discussions of many generals below. Wang Hun only felt upset for a while.

This war should not be fought! There is a consensus on this point from top to bottom in the Jingzhou Legion. It was all blindly commanded by His Majesty the Emperor. Now that it has become like this, its side has suffered heavy losses, and it has not gained any benefits. And so far there is no hope of repelling the Wu army!

That step in Xiling City is really a piece of rubbish. It's been more than a month. The Jin army is really attacking the wooden walls of Eastern Wu. Several times I broke through the wall. If the Bujia army of Xiling City had opened the door and killed at this time, under the attack of the two phases, the Wu army would have collapsed long ago! But this step Zhongsi is to sit firmly in the city and not come out! What was he thinking? When Lao Tzu retreats, how long can you hold Xiling City?

"General Yanglie, the last general Yanghu has something to say."

"Huh? Uncle has something to say. Okay, everyone, be quiet! Listen to my uncle! ”

"General Xie Yanglie. Ladies and gentlemen. Xishu's dispatch of troops to Weixing County actually means such a few meanings. First, Xishu also coveted this Xiling and was ready to pick peaches. Second, a large-scale counteroffensive by Soochow against our army is coming. Our army must be ready to respond and be ready to withdraw at any time! ”

……

And on the other side, under Xiling City, the Eastern Wu Army camp.

Through this war, Lu Kang, who had fully established his prestige, was talking eloquently: "Everyone, first of all, we must make it clear that the first article is that Xishu will never have the slightest interest in Weixing County of the Jin State. They are now making such a big splash in the Golden City, just to force the Jin army to retreat. ”

Weixing County in this era was Ankang City in Shaanxi Province in later generations. In the 21st century, Ankang City is the transportation hub of Shaanxi, northeast Sichuan and Chongqing. The socio-economic strength is very good. But in this day and age.....

The Qinling Mountains stretch from north to south, and there are two large basins in the vast mountains. One is the Hanzhong Basin, and the other is the Ankang Basin. And what about the size of the two? If the Hanzhong Basin is the size of two thumbs, then the Ankang Basin is the size of a little finger.

Because it's a basin, it's definitely surrounded by mountains. Therefore, Weixing County in this era was actually wrapped in the reckless Qinling Mountains. The key is that the flat ground inside is very small and the output is not large.

For Shu Han, taking Weixing County is more annoying than not taking Weixing County: if you take it, you have to garrison troops there. And the output there is not enough to support a certain number of troops. I have to keep throwing money into it. In this era, Hanzhong and Weixing did not have a highway to figure out, and if the grain had to be transported from Hanzhong, they had to go over the mountains and mountains. That's a lot of loss.

Moreover, due to the extremely inconvenient transportation, even if Weixing County was controlled by the enemy, it would be impossible for the enemy to launch a large-scale attack from this base. Even if there is an attack, as long as the Golden City is still there, it is not a big problem.

Therefore, Lu Kang said: Xishu has no idea of taking Weixing County at all.

So, is Xishu really so kind and engaged in such a big battle, just to help Eastern Wu and prompt the Jin army to retreat?

The children of Soochow will not believe this.

So, what was Guan Zifeng in Xishu thinking?

"Great Sima, generals. As soon as the Jin army retreats, the morale of the defenders in Xiling City will drop rapidly. Our army will surround it for another month at most, and we will be able to take Xiling. But there is a premise for this: Xishu does not interfere. What if the Bu family was cut off from foreign aid and the hearts of the people in the city were fluctuating, and they suddenly received news that Xishu came to help? ”
