Chapter 491: Mandate of Heaven
The embankment of thousands of miles collapsed in the hearts of the people.
Yang'an Pass was breached, and the situation changed.
The Wei army had a foothold and divided the Shu Kingdom into three, blocking the Sword Pavilion in the south, separating Hanzhong from the east and west, and cutting off Jiang Wei and Liaohua in the west.
There is no longer any point in neutralizing the yinping.
The large amount of food and materials hoarded in Yang'an Guanzhong solved Zhonghui's urgent need.
The wind in Shu is loud.
I don't know when the nursery rhyme of the dead country began to be recited all over the Shu country.
The scorching sun is scorching, the willows are green, and the horses of the east mountains are not chased, but the clouds of the west mountains are followed.
Han Shou, who was in front of the Sword Pavilion, was the most impacted, and Hu Ji, the governor of Hanzhong, was terrified and led the defenders to retreat into the Sword Pavilion.
Liu Chan, the lord of Shu, sent Zhang Yi and Dong Ju to lead another 10,000 Chengdu elites to rescue Yang'an Pass.
In the middle of the storm, Jiang Wei's face was low and terrifying.
The least problematic place is the first to go wrong.
Fu Yi and Jiang Shu are his henchmen, who have followed him to fight for more than ten years, and have always been loyal, even if Jiang Wei is clever, he will not think that the people's hearts have long been unable to hold.
Overcast clouds swept across the sky, and the cold wind whimpered all the time.
"General!"
Outside the hall, dozens of loyal and brave generals knelt on the ground.
The whole barracks were terrible quiet, and the soldiers were terrified.
The strongest Yang'an Pass in Han can be breached, but what else can't be broken?
This was the first time in decades that the Wei army had made such significant progress.
The Shu army was generally suspicious of the strategy of gathering troops and gathering valleys.
There was a lot of discussion in private, if it was still according to Wei Yan's policy of guarding the siege back then, there would be no such thing.
But when Jiang Wei stood in front of everyone, all the panic and rumors suddenly dissipated.
"It's just a Yang'an Pass, and if you take it back, don't you want to be loyal to me for the Han Dynasty?" Jiang Wei is still the same Jiang Wei, the cold wind caresses the knife-like wrinkles on his face, although the hero is in the twilight, his heart is still undiminished.
The soul of the Shu army is in Jiang Wei, and the survival of Shu is actually in Jiang Wei.
If he wavered, the Shu army would immediately collapse.
"How dare you! We are about to fight with the general and recapture Yang'an Pass! The generals bowed.
"Recapture Yang'an Pass!" In the barracks, more than 10,000 soldiers raised their swords and spears and stabbed them into the dim sky, screaming and shouting.
The inheritance of the Han Dynasty is only left with them.
Jiang Wei bowed to the generals.
In a moment, a fire rose in the camp, and thick smoke was blown by the cold wind.
Yang'an Guan is lost, and there is no meaning in it.
The mandate of heaven is not in the Han, how can it be reversed by manpower?
Zhuge Wuhou can't turn things around, what can Jiang Wei do?
Jiang Wei looked back at the direction of Liangzhou in the northwest, and the haze in his heart became deeper and deeper, "Yang Zheng, let's see how you make a move!" ”
The Shu army in Shuzhong was exhausted, joined forces with Liao Hua, abandoned Zhongzhong and Yinping, gathered all the horses and young people, gathered an army of more than 25,000, and withdrew to Baishui, just to meet Dong Ju and Zhang Yi who rushed to Hanshou.
President Zhong drove straight in, and the morale of more than 100,000 troops was high.
More than 30,000 Shu troops could not resist and retreated into the Sword Pavilion to hold on.
The difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, the road from the big sword to the small sword is thirty miles, even the mountain is extremely dangerous, Zhuge Wuhou chisels the stone overhead for the Feiliang Pavilion Road, to pass the brigade, and breaks the two cliffs on the cliff of the big sword mountain, leans on the cliff and masonry for the door, and places the pavilion captain,
Nothing is enough to describe this place.
But such a natural risk has never really protected a corner of the country in Shuzhong.
At the foot of Dajian Mountain, the Wei military camp tent is like clouds in the sky, scattered among the green mountains and green waters.
If it weren't for the overwhelming killing atmosphere, it would be a wonder.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet!"
Zhong Hui is dressed in white, fighting with a sword and singing in front of the army, with long sleeves and waves, and the sword light is swallowed, sometimes as fast as thunder returning to the clouds, and sometimes as slow as a drifter on the water.
The Heavenly Sword turned into a burst of cold light.
Those who can be famous for calligraphy will naturally not be too bad in swordsmanship.
All the generals applauded.
Jiang Shu was invited to take the right seat, ahead of the Wei generals.
"The ambition of the husband in his life, but with a three-foot sword, lead 100,000 people, defeat the enemy, open up the territory, and become an immortal fame. Zhong Hui put away his sword heartily, picked up a bottle of wine, and handed it to Jiang Shu in person, "The first credit belongs to General Jiang!" ”
Jiang Shu hurriedly bowed, "Having to meet the governor is the luck of Shu Sansheng!" ”
Zhong Hui was open-minded, helped Jiang Shu up and said with a smile: "Haha, it is also the will of heaven that you and I met today." ”
"Today, Huang Hao is in turmoil, and the scholars of Jingzhou and Yizhou are competing outside, and His Majesty ...... The Lord of Shu is weak, and it is really the death of the Shu Kingdom, and his subordinates are willing to lead an army as the forerunner, break through the Sword Pavilion, and smash Chengdu! After receiving Zhonghui's courtesy, Jiang Shu's hatred for Shu became stronger and stronger, and only by destroying Shu and making more people traitors could he prove that he was right.
Wang Jun also arched his hand and said: "That's right, now the people of Shu are panicked and demoralized, and it is the right time to destroy Shu in a war." ”
Zhong Hui shook his head, "There is Jiang Wei of the Sword Pavilion in the front, and Yang Zheng in the back, although Yang'an is won today, the two cities of Han and Le are still there, and they must not be reckless, it is enough to win Hanzhong." ”
When it comes to Yang Zheng, both of them have nothing to say.
In the future, the situation in the world is in this battle, how can Liangzhou stand by and watch.
"When the Yang thief enters Hanzhong, the cavalry is useless, and if he comes, he will be broken by the governor! If you enter the pass, Chang'an is solid and cannot be attacked, then a partial division of our army can go north from Chencang, attack Xiaoguan, and cut off the grain road of the thieves in the west! Governor's clever plan! In Wang Jun's eyes, no matter how Yang Zheng struggles, he is dead.
is such a hot sycophant, but Zhong Hui was unmoved, "In a few years, Yang Xingyun can rise from a poor place and sweep Yongliang, how can he be a wasted person?" The key to this big battle depends on how he makes a move, our army has Yang'an in hand, and it can be rested. ”
After taking Yang'an Pass, Zhonghui has been invincible.
The Sword Pavilion is dangerous, and there are famous generals in Shu such as Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi, and tens of thousands of Shu troops are defending, so Zhong Hui really doesn't need to fight them.
Moreover, the Wei army has been blocked in Hanzhong for several months, and it is also sleepy and lacking horses, and attacking the more dangerous Sword Pavilion is tantamount to asking for a dead end.
But there is still the way it should be.
Zhong Hui ordered the generals to take turns to send troops, marching noisily, bluffing, and building a camp in front of the Sword Pavilion, sometimes feinting, sometimes holding on.
The Shu army fought many times, intending to recapture Yang'an Pass, but was blocked by the Wei army.
The situation in Hanzhong gradually fell into a confrontation.
But this confrontation was clearly beneficial to the Wei army.
Every day passes, the situation in Hanzhong becomes worse.
And recently, there have been rumors that Sima Zhao will raise the army of the country and go straight to Chang'an.
Shu confronted the entire Central Plains in Hanzhong with the power of a state, and the longer it dragged on, the weaker the country became.
Zhong Hui secretly exchanged letters with Jiang Bin, Wang Han and others.
As always, he did not mention the matter of persuasion, but only talked about what he had seen and heard in the north and south, and the old things of the previous dynasty.
He also ordered a thick burial of Fu He at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and erected a monument to show his loyalty and righteousness, and collected the Shu soldiers who died in Yang'an Pass.
The morale of the Shu people has been taken away, and even the fighting spirit of the front-line soldiers has been weakened.
