Chapter 517: Confrontation
In July of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Chenhe sent 200,000 troops, 100 airships, 1,000 mortars, and attacked Hanzhong in two ways.
Which two? One route went from south to north, from Chongqing to the north, with LΓΌ Meng as the commander. The other route moves from east to west, from Xiangyang to Fangling and Shangyong, with Mao Luan as the commander.
Let's talk about Yizhou first, Lu Meng is the commander, Wen Ping is the deputy commander, and Yan Baihu, a thief from Huiji County, is the chief of staff, commanding 100,000 troops, and 50 airships are fighting together, breaking through three passes one after another, and approaching Hanzhong.
Since Yang Xi divided the central and northern parts of Yizhou into two counties, Ba County in the east and Shu County in the west, and ordered Da Lei to lead the governor of Ba County and Murong Zixuan to lead the governor of Shu County, both of them spared no effort to develop production, engage in infrastructure construction, and improve Dujiangyan in the Chengdu Plain.
With the assistance of 200,000 troops from LΓΌ Meng and Mao Luan, after two years, they communicated Chengdu to Chongqing as early as possible, and even built the highway north to the interior of the Nanshan area of Daba Mountain.
Today's Hanzhong and Shuzhong are in danger, and there is no difficulty for Chenhe Kingdom, which has such a strong strength.
If Yang Xi wanted the army to enter Hanzhong, he would only use airships to carry dozens of trips, and the 100,000 troops would arrive in Hanzhong.
With this kind of artifact, the natural danger also changes.
At this time, Liu Bei ruled the nine counties of Nanzheng County, Chenggu County, Xicheng County, Baozhong County, Chuyang County, Anyang County, Xi County, Shangyong County, and Fangling County in Hanzhong, and the population also reached more than 500,000 under the governance of Zhuge Liang and other capable ministers.
But with a population of 500,000, facing 200,000 elite soldiers, it is tantamount to using a mantis arm as a car.
The people in Hanzhong were panicked, Liu Bei convened a group of heroes to discuss the matter, and dozens of people had different faces, in fact, most of them were already thinking about surrendering.
It is said that after the surrender, Chenhe Country will not be embarrassed, but will travel and study in Chenhe City, not to mention continuing to govern the place after returning, anyway, don't worry about life, just change a way of life.
And that way of life is really fascinating.
Go out and take the bus, you can buy a car if you have money, use a telephone for communication, and a leisure nightclub. This life can be experienced by some future generations.
After these young people returned, they talked about Chenhe City in a big way.
It is said that there is a thing called an electric light that lights up all night long, and when you pull it, it turns on, just like day.
Someone bought back the flashlight, which is called a miracle, but unfortunately there is a shortage of batteries in Hanzhong, so some Chenhe merchants have to come over.
Liu Bei knew these things, but he was helpless, he cleared his throat and pretended to be calm: "Today, the country of Hechen sent 200,000 troops, and the soldiers came in two ways, all the way out of Xiangyang, and it has arrived in Fangling County, and there is no movement outside the city for the time being, and the other road has already crossed Daba Mountain to Xicheng County, what do you think?" β
It's about asking questions, seeing how many people are firmly on their side, and then making a decision.
Zhang Fei jumped out and said: "Big brother don't have to panic, it's Yang Xi's kid who came in person, and I also led the troops to block it out of the city, so as to export bird's anger for big brother!" β
Zhang Fei roared, but Liu Bei frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "When did I panic?" When did I panic? β
Wei Yan, Chen Dao, Zhao Yun, and the disciples of Zhang Wei, Situ Futian and Shentian, all expressed their willingness to lead the troops to resist the enemy, but Guan Yu did not speak.
Liu Bei set his eyes on the civil officials, and Zhang Song said: "Today, Yang Xi ordered the army to attack, it must be the result of the previous defeat, but the assassination of Yang Xi is not my Hanzhong, my Hanzhong, just an auxiliary, and the main master is Wei." As long as one person is sent to Wei Guochen to say that it is powerful, Cao Cao will definitely send troops to help, so that the crisis in Hanzhong can be temporarily solved. β
Liu Bei nodded, Zhang Song opened his eyes and said nonsense, he must also have such an attitude. Obviously, he is the master, but he has to say that Cao Wei is the master.
Zhuge Liang said: "Ziqiao's words are wrong, in my opinion, Cao Cao will not send troops, not unwillingly, but undaring." Yang Xi had already given him a step, and if he didn't make this matter public, how could Cao Cao not see it clearly. At this time, Yang Xi stabilized Cao Cao, but he didn't want to use force against him. β
"Then according to the words of the military advisor, what should be done?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Today, Cao Cao's headaches are more frequent, it is rumored that he does it almost once a month this year, and if he does not do it once, he needs to rest for three or five days, and his internal and external affairs are all handled by the prince Cao Pi." It was the assassination of Yang Xi before, and it was also organized by Cao Pi, and the most feared person by Cao Pi was the Chenhe country. Chenhe State is the backer of Cao Zhi, Marquis of Anchang, and the lord can send someone to contact Cao Pi, Cao Pi is not good at sending troops, or through Wancheng Depot, secretly transport soldiers and horses and weapons to Fangling County, and resist Chenhe Country with Yu Shao'a. In this way, the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong can concentrate all their strength to resist the soldiers and horses of Lumeng in Xicheng County. In this way, it may be possible to survive this catastrophe. β
Zhuge Liang analyzed it like this, and everyone in Hanzhong felt that there was still a glimmer of hope.
At this time, Fa Zheng came out and said: "This plan is a battle against the water, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, if it is not successful, then the lord will have no way to retreat, in case Hanzhong falls, the lord is afraid that there will be no room for turn." But if this is not the case, there is only one way to seek peace, that is, to seek peace, and Chenhe Country may not agree. β
The implication of Fa Zheng's words is that peace cannot be achieved, and only by surrendering can his life be saved. Fa Zheng is a reminder to Liu Bei, maybe he can make peace.
Liu Bei and others all know this principle, but Liu Bei has great ambitions and has the backing of Taoism, so it is impossible to really descend.
Fa Zheng's words are only to mention, not to suggest, Liu Bei is noncommittal, so Liu Bei took Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, and Situ Futian as generals, Fa Zheng as the military advisor, and Zhuge Liang as the governor of logistics, and personally led 80,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong to welcome Lu Meng.
He bullied Lu Meng to sit down without a general, and he had four fierce generals, among which Situ Futian was a disciple of the Heavenly Master, and his courage was not under Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun.
There are no fierce generals under Lu Meng, and there are no fierce generals who can fight with any of the five generals Liu Bei. Yan Baihu can't walk more than fifty times under Sun Ce, and Wen Ping only has 96 physical functions, and these generals are only at this level.
But the Chenhe army has military law, and it has long used that kind of tactic.
Generals at and above the regimental level are not allowed to be present in the front line in accordance with military law, and if they violate the rules, they need to be tried by military courts.
This is the rule set by Yang Xi, if a regimental general dies in battle, it will greatly affect the morale of the army, and the army may be defeated if it lacks command.
Once defeated, this is not something that the generals themselves can bear, but according to this rule, they are responsible for the whole army, and at worst, they are responsible for the more than 100 million citizens of the entire Chenhe country.
In this army, there are their relatives and children.
Xicheng County is not big, and the county seat naturally cannot accommodate an army of 80,000, so Liu Bei ordered people to garrison troops on the north bank of the Han River to block LΓΌ Meng.
There is the upper reaches of the Han River in this Xicheng County, meandering from here, from west to east, there is a tributary of Lanshui in the south to inject the Han River, the amount of water is not large, but the terrain is complex, and Lu Meng is not rash.
In terms of resource consumption, it only takes three months for a population of 500,000 people in Hanzhong to raise 80,000 troops, and the economy collapses and the people all go to beg for food. Lu Meng, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, and the fine grain and beef were airborne from the airship every day, and the army only regarded this as an exercise.
On the other side, Yu Shao'a learned that the army of Chenhe Kingdom was coming, and Liu Bei did not divide his troops to defend Fangling and Shangyong County, but there was no way, Yu Shao'a had to lay down a defense line in the two counties, and all the 15,000 soldiers and horses of the Changxin Fertilizer Plant were transferred to the defense along the line, and the fertilizer plant naturally stopped production.
Fortunately, Liu Bei ordered someone to contact Cao Pi, and Cao Piguo agreed to help. Under Cao Pi's organization, Yu Shao'a took Wancheng Depot as a transit and received 50,000 Wei reinforcements, and Cao Cao only turned a blind eye. These 50,000 military horses, but they are deployed as Yu Shao'a, and they have nothing to do with Cao Wei on the surface.
In August, Li Tianhong brought great surprises to Mao Luan, commander of the East Road, and commander of the South Road, namely two radio receiving stations and 20 wireless telegraphs.
This is another achievement of Yang Xi in two months.
The wireless telegraph should be said to be a person who understands technology is very simple, it uses electric keys to control the oscillation of a low-frequency signal generator, and then is modulated by a high-frequency carrier signal, amplified by power, and emitted by an antenna.
At the receiving end, the arrangement information of the low-frequency signal with and without composition can be obtained by the detection wave, which is decoded by the operator, and the composition of the code is the code that Yang Xi handed over to Sangou and others, also known as Morse code. This thing is simple, but the communication distance can reach more than 1,000 kilometers, Mao Luan and Lu Meng experimented with this thing, it was simply amazing.
They didn't know that the first radio station in Chenhe Country had been built, and Yang Xi was developing a radio and tape recorder.
