Chapter 492: Capture the Spirit
"The number of Qi in Shu has been exhausted, and this battle is the attack on the city, and the attack on the heart is the top." Du Yu was dressed in a military uniform, and his emaciated body seemed to be unable to support the bright light armor on his body.
"Jiang Wei's quasi-art of war, but only the people's hearts are not accurate." Yang Zheng sighed.
There is nothing wrong with gathering troops in the valley, and there is nothing wrong with using Hanzhong as bait to lure the enemy into the depths.
The mistake is that Shu is no longer the Shu country of the year, Shen Zhen is in the body, and the weakness is not remedied, Jiang Wei's fierce medicine directly took the life of Shu State.
"If Chengdu doesn't fall, won't Yuan Kai go deep alone?" Yang Zheng said worriedly.
To be able to get to this day, Du Yu and Lu Zhi have contributed the most.
"Of course, Chengdu will not surrender easily, so the key to this battle is still in the prince?"
"Oh?" Yang Zheng was puzzled.
"Zhonghui more than 100,000 troops into Hanzhong, occupy Yang'an Pass, the general trend of Shu has gone, Sima Zhao will rise up and pour the people into the Guanzhong, after Zhonghui, a battle in Guanzhong is inevitable, if the prince can fight with Sima Zhao, then his subordinates will have enough confidence in Chengdu, if the prince can not refuse Sima Zhao, then Chengdu will definitely defend to the death!" Du pre-analyzed.
The reason is simple, strength determines everything.
Shu had many options, either to surrender to Liangzhou, to surrender to the Sima clan, or to surrender to Eastern Wu.
Why surrender yourself?
Of course, it depends on whose knife is fast and whose knife is ruthless!
This is an era in which the strength of war determines everything, and politics is the continuation of war.
If you win, you have everything, and if you can't win, you have nothing.
Therefore, Yang Zheng has a great opportunity and a great challenge.
In the past, I jumped left and right, stepped on the right time, and could mix the wind and water, but now it is impossible.
There are only a few in the world.
The relay of three generations of the Sima family has stabilized the Central Plains.
This battle is inevitable, and Yang Zheng has no way to retreat.
"So it's a battle of rage?" Yang Zheng's expression was serious.
Win the world!
Du Yu nodded, "The road is blue, to enlighten the mountains and forests, if the prince wants to fight for the world, he must snatch luck in the hands of the Sima clan!" ”
At this point, even if you don't want to fight, the people around you will push forward and fight.
What's more, Yang Zheng's ambitions have also been growing over the years.
There are more than 100,000 soldiers with armor and horses, and the soldiers are strong in the world, occupying such a vast land, if there is no ambition to annex the world, Yang Zheng is a saint.
The Sima family is nothing more than that.
"The general trend of the world, in this move, the prince has his own destiny!" Du pre-arched his hand.
"Yuan Kai is wrong! If there is a mandate of heaven, I will fight, and if there is no mandate of heaven, I will also fight! The general trend of the world is all man-made, how can it be entrusted to the ethereal destiny? Yang Zheng said with a smile, as long as you enter the level of playing with knives, everyone is at the same level.
Don't say anything about the strength of the Central Plains, you can't beat me, no matter how strong the strength is, it's in vain.
This kind of thing has happened countless times in history.
Great Qin is a small country in the west, but it can annex the Eight Desolations and unify Liuhe.
Wei Wu started in the Central Plains in the land of the four wars, but it was just a county, but it was able to repeatedly break strong enemies.
The destiny of heaven is in man, not in heaven.
Du Yu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "The prince is really very human, and he is in the middle of the trap!" ”
"The affairs of Shu will be handed over to you, but if you don't listen to orders, you can cut them first and then play." Yang Zheng thought about it, called Lin Sen again, and picked out a hundred warriors from the guards, "If you go to Shuzhong, Chengdu can not take it, and Shu can not do it, but Du Yuankai must not have the slightest mistake, even if he gives up his life, you must protect him thoroughly!" ”
Lin Sen and the guards swore to the sky, "The subordinates are broken bones, and they will definitely live up to the trust of the prince." ”
Du Yu looked moved, "Thank you, Junhou!" ”
The 20,000 pro-army foot soldiers have been waiting for a long time.
Du Pre turned over and got on the horse and arched his hand at Yang Zheng, "Take care of the prince." ”
"Yuan Kai should also take care." Looking at the thin figure on the horse, Yang Zheng felt a little reluctant in his heart.
But in the entire Liangzhou, he is the only one who is the most competent.
20,000 armor soldiers rode their horses and led their pack horses to the southeast.
Within two days, it snowed lightly again in Liangzhou.
Sure enough, as Du Yu said, the news came from Xizuo, and Sima Zhao in Luoyang moved, and Sima Zhao hijacked Emperor Cao Chao of Wei to drive the expedition in person, gathered 130,000 Chinese troops, and rushed to Guanzhong.
The bloody gas flowing from the wounds of Shu attracted tigers from the east and west.
Yang Zheng also led 50,000 steps to ride on the light snow and advance eastward.
The soldiers and horses all raised their heads in the wind and snow.
Even the foot soldiers were given two pack horses.
The elite cavalry has one person and three horses, the Hehuang horse is responsible for charging into battle, the Mobei horse is responsible for long-distance running, the pack horse is burdened, and the military food is exhausted, so it is slaughtered.
For this battle, Yang Zheng began to prepare since June, and even the government soldiers from Zhangye, Jiuquan, Hequ, Xihai and other counties were transferred.
There are more than 30 generals such as Meng Yu, Liu Heng, Meng Guan, Jiang Faye, Peng Hu, Wen Yang, and Pang Hui.
In terms of troops, the 50,000 army seems to be lower than Sima Zhao's 130,000 army, but this army gathers all the essence of Liangzhou.
The army of 50,000 was taken from the warriors of all tribes.
The weapons and armor were all carefully crafted, and each soldier was given at least one piece of leather armor.
The grain was carried with the army, and the slaughtered mutton was hung on the war horse, and it was not afraid of rotting in winter.
Sima Zhao's 130,000 army plus Zhong Hui's 120,000 army looked bluffing.
But there is an Achilles' heel - food.
Moreover, the armor rate and the number of cavalry of the Chinese army must not be comparable to that of the Liangzhou army.
The armor rate of the Han army is only four or five out of ten, and the average soldier has no armor.
Yang Zheng also spent time in the Chinese army before.
Not to mention iron armor, being able to wear two crotch armor is elite, and wearing leather armor is a strong army......
Sima Zhao has vigorously expanded the army in the past two years, the Chinese army has been continuously flooded, the level of equipment has continued to decline, and the armor rate is less than two-tenths.
In recent years, Yang Zheng has been pursuing the principle that soldiers are not more expensive, and vigorously improved the level of equipment and training intensity.
Liangzhou is dominated by war horses and livestock, so there is no shortage of cavalry and leather armor.
The Central Plains has a large population, so the army is strong.
After entering Xiaoguan, Zhang Te had already evacuated all the people from seven counties, including Linjing, Pengyang, Jingyang, Jingyin, Yinmi, Wuzhi, and Chaona, to Xiaoguan.
Yang Zheng suddenly remembered that the Xiaoguan defense line he had built was Guyuan Town, one of the important towns on the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty in history.
Relying on the Great Wall and Liupan Mountain, it held the throat of Jingshui in the south of Guanzhong, condescending, looking down on the enemy army coming from the south.
"Even if Sima Zhao has an army of one million, he doesn't want to break through Xiao Pass!" Zhang Teh is ambitious.
"There is a child here, no worries."
"The general wants to go south to Guanzhong to face the battle?"
"Of course, if you defend it for a long time, you will lose, our cavalry is the longest, why attack and defend under the city?" Yang Zheng and Du Zheng had already finished discussing the calculation.
Hiding behind Xiao Guan, he let Sima Zhao eat Hanzhong.
Zhang Te frowned, "With all due respect to his subordinates, Zhong will have a deep ditch and high fort on both sides of Weishui, a beacon in ten miles, a camp in twenty miles, and a dock fort in fifty miles, the cavalry is difficult to march, and the shape is in the enemy's hands. ”
"The offspring is poor, the art of war is cloudy, and those who are good at fighting will cause people but not others. He who can make the enemy self-defeating, also benefit; Whoever can prevent the enemy from reaching will also do harm. I am good at cavalry, how I fight, how I fight, where I fight, I should be mine! Why attack Chang'an? ”
"Where does the prince want?"
"Linjin!"
