Chapter 2024: Is there any certainty of a war?
Fa Zheng ordered the army to be stationed on the road leading to Langzhong.
Jiang Wei on Jianmen Mountain got the news, and his face was not very good immediately.
A partial general who followed him asked, "General Jiang's face is not good, has he encountered something difficult to solve?" ”
This partial general's name is Li Yan, although his status is not high at this time, if history advances according to the original process, he will also become a minister of Shu Han in a few years.
There is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is a pioneer, which is to describe the withering of later Shu Han talents.
Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as prime minister.
Zhuge Liang did a lot of things in Shuzhong.
But at the same time, he was also suppressing some really talented people, so that the later Shu Han was useless when it came to war.
Those who can lead troops to fight are basically mediocre talents.
Characters like Li Yan have also gradually grown up in that environment.
Of course, these are things that happen according to the normal course of history.
Now the appearance of Cao Shuo has long changed history, and everything is no longer the same.
Shu Han, who should not have reached the time of decline, was pressed by Cao Shuo step by step, although there were still some talents, but it was also at a time when it was overstretched and unsustainable!
"What's more difficult to solve?" Jiang Wei glanced at Li Yan: "Fa Zheng stationed the army on the road to Langzhong, but he refused to send troops to attack Langzhong City, just to trap His Majesty to death." Liao Hua and I each led a group of men and horses to be stationed in Jianmen Mountain and Bashan, although we were far away from Langzhong, we never had the opportunity to send troops to help. ”
"What does the general mean......" Li Yan also sensed that something was wrong, and asked Jiang Wei, "Is it difficult to see it like this?" ”
"What else can the general do but watch?" Jiang Wei asked him.
Li Yan didn't know how to respond to the question, his lips moved without saying a word.
"The next step for Fazheng should be to send troops to collect grain and grass around the area." "He will also scuttle boats in the waterways so that people in the city cannot evacuate from the waterways," Jiang said. His Majesty's stay in Langzhong is indeed very dangerous. ”
"He sent men to scuttle ships and plunder grain and grass, and we also sent men and horses to attack and harass them." Li Yan said: "As long as the people can escape early, the grain and grass they can collect will definitely be extremely limited. As for the ships, it is far better to send more men to protect them than for us to stay here and wait and see! ”
"That's what General Lee said!" Jiang Wei nodded first, and then asked him, "If you see Xiahou and the others, do you dare to fight?" ”
Xiahou and the others were all fierce generals in the world, although they had never fought each other, Li Yan knew that he was not their opponent at all.
Swallowing his saliva, Li Yan turned his heart sideways and said to Jiang Wei: "As a general of Shu Han, I have a lot of favors from Your Majesty. Now that Shu Han is in trouble, how can I sit idly by? General Boyo commanded me to go. ”
"I don't have many soldiers with me, and even fewer can I give you." Jiang Wei replied: "Don't pay attention to the enemy troops on the riverside, although they try to scuttle the boat, after all, they are close to the shore of Langzhong, and they will not be able to reach it for a while. The general can lead a thousand men and horses to attack the enemy army who is harassing the grain. It is important to remember that no matter who leads the enemy army that robs the grain, do not fall in love with the battle. Fight one and leave, and wait until they haven't come to their senses, and then go to the next one. ”
"General Boyo wants me to attack the enemy?" Li Yan asked.
"You can say the same thing." Jiang Wei replied: "It's just that the enemy army who is attacking is robbing grain, and some looted people are recruited in addition, our army is not enough in number, although the people come to the army to play no role, after all, one more head, but also a little more momentum!" ”
"I see!" Li Yan responded and said to Jiang Wei: "I'll do it!" ”
Li Yan left, but Jiang Wei was still very unoptimistic about the future situation.
Fa Zheng came to Langzhong, as long as he dared to launch an attack on Langzhong City, the Yizhou army would be able to make corresponding countermeasures.
But he didn't do that, but just stationed on the road to Langzhong.
With his stationing, Liu Bei in the city can't get out, Jiang Wei and Liao Hua outside the city can't get in, and the situation on the battlefield is even more difficult to control.
Jiang Wei ordered Li Yan to lead a thousand men and horses to attack and harass Fazheng and send a team to grab grain.
Liao Hua of Daba Mountain was more convened than him at this time.
The enemy army did not attack Langzhong, and all the plans and Jiang Weiqian were very different from what he had said.
Liao Hua is also a person with some skills, but he and Jiang Wei can't be compared.
There are many details of the problem, he can't be as thoughtful as Jiang Wei thinks when he thinks about it.
Standing on a stone on Daba Mountain, Liao Hua looked in the direction of Langzhong.
"The general has been standing here for a long time, is there something troublesome going on?" A voice came from behind him.
Liao Hua glanced back, and it was a partial general in his early twenties who walked over.
This person's name is Zhang Wei, and he is also a partial general in Shuzhong.
Like Li Yan, if it develops according to the historical process, Zhang Wei will also be reused in the future and become a general with troops.
But now, his status is not high.
Especially in this expedition, he only became Liao Hua's deputy general when Jiang Wei divided his troops and horses.
"General Zhang!" Nodding towards Zhang Wei, Liao Hua's gaze fell back to Langzhong City in the same place again: "Fazheng's army has arrived, but he doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking Langzhong at all, but is stationed on the road that must be some distance from Langzhong."
"Wouldn't it be better if the Fa Zheng didn't fight in the middle of the war, and His Majesty could settle down in peace?" I didn't understand what Liao Hua had to worry about at all, so Zhang Wei asked.
"How long can you be stable?" Liao Hua said: "If Fazheng doesn't fight now, he will fight sooner or later." By the time he attacked, he was afraid that the city had been short of food for a long time......"
"Didn't General Boyo say before that the enemy army came from Hanzhong, and they were short of food and grass." Zhang Wei said suspiciously: "Could it be that the food in Langzhong City is not as good as that in the Fazheng army?" ”
When Liao Hua said these words, he was also at a loss in his heart.
After all, he didn't know what Fa Zheng was planning.
Just as he didn't know what to answer, a scout ran up.
The scouts who ran up from the bottom of the mountain came to the two of them, and they reported breathlessly: "General Qiyu, Fa Zheng sent Ma Chao to lead a thousand men and horses to nearby villages and towns to grab grain!" The enemy army grabbed food when he saw it, Ma Chao even did not restrain the soldiers, and many women were also humiliated. ”
The scout's report confirmed Liao Hua's speculation, and he said to Zhang Wei: "General Zhang, the enemy army is robbing grain to besiege Langzhong for a long time. We can't just sit back and watch this happen, it looks like you're going to have to go. I don't know if you meet Ma Chao, do you have any confidence in a war? 2k reading network
