"Yang'an Pass is lost? Lost ...... Lost. After listening to Liao Hua's narration, Jiang Wei only felt that the world was spinning for a while. After a while, he quickly grabbed Liao Hua's neck and trembled wildly: "What are the courts doing?" Didn't I already write to Your Majesty in March of this year asking the CD to send reinforcements to strengthen the defense of Yang'an Pass? Yuan Jian, what are you doing? Why did you set off from CD when the enemy army had entered Hanzhong?! ”

"General, stop!" Liu Min, Lai Zhong and others saw an old man in his sixties and shook an old man in his nineties frantically. The old man in his nineties had begun to turn pale and was about to breathe.

Liao Hua, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Jiang Wei with palpitations: "Boyo, I can understand your feelings." But what can we do? If Your Majesty doesn't give an order, we can't mobilize a single soldier in the CD! As for the support army led by the old man now, it was only Zhang Fujiao (Zhang Shao) who took the queen's path to get His Majesty's approval...... Huang Hao's eunuch blinded the Holy Hearing, His Majesty didn't know that the situation had reached such a sinister point! ”

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Jiang Wei's body shook for a while and then actually fell backwards to the sky.

"General!" "Boyo!" Under the rescue of everyone, Jiang Wei woke up slowly, and after recovering his consciousness, Jiang Wei opened his mouth with a cry: "Wei Fuhan has been thirty years, and the Northern Expedition has not been successful." actually lost Hanzhong...... I don't know when the last wish of the prime minister of the Han dynasty will be realized...... In this way, what face do I have to meet the prime minister! ”

"The general must not do this! At this moment, the country's situation is in danger, and we still need the general to lead us to turn the tide! ”

"Yes, Boyo. Although the old man was dissatisfied with your repeated Northern Expedition before. But at this moment, the country still needs you to support it. Please rest assured, from the old man down, Bo Gong (Zhang Yi) and Gong Xi (Dong Ju) are all under your command! ”

"Bo Gong? Gong attack? ”

"Yes, originally this time through the relationship of the queen, CD sent 10,000 reinforcements. The original plan was that the old man would take 5,000 people to stick to the bridgehead and wait for you to return to the division. Bo Gong led 5,000 men into Yang'an Pass to assist Zilian in defending ...... Needless to say, Qiaotou is fortunate that Zhuge Xu is timid and did not break into Baishui Pass and Sword Pavilion all at once. The old man didn't dare to move forward anymore after arriving at Baishui Pass, so he could only send scouts to monitor Zhuge Xu at the bridgehead from afar, until he heard that you were going north to prepare a sneak attack on Zhuge Xu's back road, and the old man knew that you were coming back...... And Bo Gong couldn't save Yang'an Pass all the way...... After hearing the news of the fall of Yang'an Pass, Bo Gong had already retreated to the Sword Pavilion. Dong Gong has already mobilized five thousand Zitong people to strengthen the pass in the Sword Pavilion......"

“…… Fortunately, there are still a few of you. After listening to Liao Hua's introduction, Jiang Wei breathed a long sigh of relief: "Yuan Jian, what I mean is to give up Baishui Pass and enter the Sword Pavilion with the whole army." ”

"Well, Boyo's opinion coincides with mine."

Why do you want to abandon Baishui Pass and defend the Imperial Sword Pavilion with the whole army? There are two main reasons for this.

The first is the issue of geographical location. Baishui Pass is in the northwest, mainly facing the 60,000 people of Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu, and the Zhonghui army from the north can completely turn a blind eye to Baishui Pass. And the position of the Sword Pavilion is in the middle. Whether it is Deng Ai's army or Zhong Hui's army, as long as you want to go south, Sword Pavilion is almost the only way to go. Therefore, instead of dividing forces to defend against the opponent, it is better to combine forces: although the enemy can also join forces, the defender will definitely have the advantage.

And with the loss of Yang'an Pass, the entire upper reaches of the Jialing River basin have been opened. If Zhong Hui was ruthless enough, he could build a ship in Guangyuan and go east along the Jialing River into Brazil County - if Jiang Wei and the others divided their troops to guard Baishui Pass, then when Zhong Hui went east along the waterway into Brazil County, Baishui Pass's army would be beyond the reach of the whip. And the main forces of Shu Han are all gathered in the Sword Pavilion is different - next to the Sword Pavilion is Hanshou, which is the big wharf in the upper reaches of the Jialing River. As long as Zhong Hui dares to go crazy and go down the east of the river, Jiang Wei can happily let Zhong Hui annihilate the whole army.

The second is that the process of the loss of Yang'an Pass really chilled Jiang Wei, Liao Hua and others: the local families in Yizhou were not satisfied with the Shu Han regime. In recent years, with the corruption of the Shu Han officials, even the people of Yizhou have become dissatisfied with this regime. The credibility of those forces, which are made up purely of Yizhou natives, is a big question mark.

Now Jiang Wei, Liao Hua, Zhang Yi, Dong Ju and others have joined forces, with a total strength of nearly 40,000 people. Among them, the Yulin Army brought out by Liao Hua and Zhang Yi from the CD, as well as the Zitong County soldiers in Dong Ju's hands, most of them were natives of Yizhou. Jiang Wei's mobile corps was different: they were all descendants of the Jingzhou soldiers that Liu Bei brought from Jingzhou to Yizhou. In the current situation, only by combining troops in one place and relying on the ammunition pressure of the mobile corps can we ensure that the soldiers in Yizhou also work hard.

After deciding on the strategy for the next battle, Jiang Wei's head regained its senses: "Yuan Jian, when I wait until I arrive at the Sword Pavilion, I should jointly write to Your Majesty." Illustrate the sinister nature of the current situation. His Majesty should dispatch the troops of Yong'an, Nanzhong, and Fuling to concentrate on CD as soon as possible. At the same time, ask for help from Soochow! ”

"Good! When I saw this, I would trouble Dong Gong to run in person, otherwise it would be difficult to say what kind of moth Huang Hao's eunuch was going to do! ”

"Hey, Wei just didn't want to take that step. Otherwise, kill the eunuch! The eunuch didn't know what to think. Isn't it all thanks to Your Majesty that he can be powerful now? If His Majesty is reduced to a prisoner, how can he end well? ”

……

When the news of the capture of Yang'an Pass reached Zhong Hui's ears, Zhong Hui was worshipping Zhuge Liang's tomb on Dingjun Mountain.

In fact, speaking of Dingjun Mountain, this is the pinnacle of Huang Zhong's life's achievements, and it has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang himself - when Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, the military division with him was Fazheng, and Zhuge Liang was only responsible for providing grain and grass in CD. However, because this place is far enough away from the CD, it is remote enough. Therefore, Liu Chan set Zhuge Liang's tomb and temple here - everyone wants to sacrifice to the prime minister and express your sorrow for the prime minister. Only here. It's illegal in other places - it shows how much Liu Chan has a grudge against Zhuge Liang, a powerful minister.

However, after all, this master's status in Shu Han is too lofty, so high that Boss Liu can't openly express his dissatisfaction. Therefore, Zhong Hui came here to pay respects, and in today's words, this tomb has important political significance.

When worshipping Zhuge Liang, Zhong Hui's mood was very depressed: speaking of which, he Zhong Hui had already gone deep into Hanzhong. The land he stepped on under his feet, but it was a place where Cao Zhen, Sima Yi and others could not set foot in their entire lives, such an achievement may be proud, right?

Unfortunately, it was useless. Because since the 120,000 army entered the Hanzhong Basin, there has been no record at all. Not even a single beheading! It's really a chopping capital, no!

"Hey, it's been almost a month since the troops were dispatched. If you sit down like this, the general will be impatient in Luoyang, right? Could it be that this time it will be useless again? It's just a matter of returning in vain. The general's usurpation has been interrupted, will this anger come out of me? That's a certainty! ”

"Newspaper~~~ good news! General Zhenxi! Good news! ”

"Huh?"

"General Zhenxi, the escort army sent someone to deliver good news, our army has taken Yang'an Pass!"

"Oh~~~ What? You mean Yang'an Guan? After figuring out that the herald was talking about Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui's first feeling was: lying! But he reacted quickly: Hu Lie definitely didn't dare to joke on this issue. So deep in my heart, Fang Cai's panic was quickly filled with infinite ecstasy!

After he carefully read the battle report sent by Hu Lie, he couldn't stop laughing: because Yang'an Pass was quickly taken, Hu Lie not only got Yang'an Pass, the southern gate of the Hanzhong Basin, but also got the entire 100,000 stone grain hoarded here by the Shu Han government in Guancheng! One hundred thousand stones! If you save a little food, it's enough to sustain Zhonghui's army for a month—and it's ready-made food. You know, if you want to transfer 100,000 stone of grain from Chang'an to here, the loss on the road is at least 100,000 stone!

"Hehehehehe~~~~ In the past, Emperor Taizu Wu (Cao Cao) attacked Hanzhong, and was stopped by Zhang Wei under Yangping Pass. Taizu had no choice but to prepare to withdraw his troops, who would have thought that Zhang Weijun would suddenly mess up on the night when Taizu withdrew his troops...... I didn't expect my Zhonghui to have such luck as Taizu! ”

When Zhong Hui said this, he immediately realized that he had lost his words. He looked around nervously, and then his expression was correct: "Herald!" ”

"I'll wait for the general's orders!"

"Order, Xun Kai led an army of 10,000 to surround Seoul. Li Fu led an army of 10,000 and surrounded Lecheng. Liu Qin led an army of 5,000 and surrounded the Golden City. The rest of the army all moved closer to Yang'an Pass. After rectifying the establishment, the whole army marched to Zitong County! ”

"No!"

"Confer the rank of general Jiang Shuquan as a general, and the official appointment document will be appointed after the general is enlightened. The defenders of the former Western Shu in Yang'an Guan, who surrendered, were treated well. Well, let's give out 500 dollars per person first! ”

"Yes!"

"Shu general Fu Yan, loyal to his duties. The second generation of father and son are all loyal and righteous people. Protect the army Hu Lie, treat his corpse well, and bury it thickly! ”

"No!"

"Send a messenger to report the victory to the general! Our army has been in the middle of the whole country. is heading towards Zitong County in Xishu! ”

"Yes!"

When Zhong Hui gave these orders, a faint sigh suddenly sounded in mid-air: "Hey, Han Zuo is coming to an end, and the destiny of heaven is hard to violate." However, the creatures of the two rivers are suffering from the military revolution, and they are sincerely pitiful. When you have entered the country, do not kill any living creature in vain. ”

"Who is it?" Hearing this voice in the dark, the pores of Zhong Hui's whole body instantly stood up. However, after repeatedly inspecting the surroundings, it was found that the voice was so ethereal that it was completely different from that of a human.

"Is Zhuge Wuhou admonishing the general? Please rest assured that the kid only thinks about pacifying Xichuan, and has no intention of harming the people! ”
