Chapter 183: Marching to Tianshui

Hot Recommendation:

"What? Deng Aixi, how is it possible? Jiang Wei didn't believe it at all, 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, 10,000 Hun cavalry, plus 2,000 Qilin troops, could let Deng Ai walk away from under his nose, he couldn't believe it anyway.

Liang Xu said: "This matter is very strange, our army followed the general's strategy of only encircling and not attacking, and surrounded Deng Ai's more than 20,000 troops on the top of the Koji Mountain, and today it is already the fifth day, it stands to reason that Deng Ai's army has been without water and food for so long, and the water and food they carry with them should have been exhausted long ago, and they should be exhausted at this moment." ”

Liu Bao also said: "That's right, so since last night, the last general and General Liang have strengthened the siege of the Wei army camp in Lushan, and strengthened the number of night patrol teams to prevent Deng Ai from jumping over the wall and breaking through at night." In the middle of the night last night, the fog began to rise on the mountain, and the fog quickly enveloped the entire mountain, and the visibility was less than three feet. ”

Liang Xu nodded and said: "This fog came quickly, and it was dense and thick, we couldn't see the situation on the mountain at all, so we ordered to set up more torches under the mountain to prevent the Wei army from taking advantage of the fog to leave, so nervously passed the whole night, but no Wei army took advantage of the night and dense fog to go down the mountain to break through." ”

Jiang Wei listened to Liang Xu and Liu Bao's reports, and immediately frowned and asked, "Then how did you know about Deng Aixi?" ”

Liang Xu said:

"Early this morning, the dense fog dissipated a little, the last general sent someone to investigate, looking at the Wei army on the mountain, still neat and tidy, without fatigue, so the last general discussed with General Liu Bao, felt that something was wrong, so he sent someone to the mountain to investigate, and the sentry reported that the Wei army outside the fort was a scarecrow wearing the armor of the Wei army."

Zhuge Zhan was taken aback.

"What? The Wei army actually confused our army with a scarecrow? So where did the Wei army go, could it still be that it could still fly with wings? ”

Liang Xu said: "General Liu Bao and I felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered two thousand Qilin troops and 10,000 Liangzhou iron horses, and eight thousand Hun knights dismounted and climbed the mountain, wanting to find out, but when our army boarded the Wei army camp in Lushan, we found that it was an empty village, except for thousands of scarecrows in the camp, not a single Wei soldier was seen. ”

Ma Dai and Zhuge Zhan looked puzzled, and Zhuge Zhan even muttered to himself: "Could it be that Deng Ai also knows the art of Qimen Dunjia, and set up a big eight array on the mountain to hide the Wei army?" ”

Jiang Wei couldn't find any clue for a while, obviously Deng Ai was facing a certain death, how could he escape? He thought for a long time with a frown, and suddenly thought of a detail.

"Hide it, Liang Xu, you just said, how many people did you take up the mountain?"

Liang Xu said: "There are more than 20,000 Wei troops on the mountain, and in case of emergency, the last general brought 20,000 people to the mountain to investigate. ”

"Then you mean, after you went up the mountain, there were only 2,000 soldiers and horses left under the mountain?"

"Yes!" Liang Xu and Liu Bao nodded one after another.

"Oh no, you've been tricked!" Jiang Wei was shocked and slapped up. Shouted loudly:

"If what I expected is right, Deng Ai must have taken advantage of the cover of the fog to stay on the mountain and find a hiding place, and when you go up the mountain, they will ambush on the mountainside, take advantage of the emptiness of the defense below the mountain, and then desperately break through. Maybe it won't be long before you hear the news that Deng Ai has broken through. ”

"What?!" Liang Xu and Liu Bao both said that it was incredible, this Deng Ai was too cunning.

But before the two of them could sigh, they heard a long cry outside the room.

"Report! ……”

Then a herald entered the house, threw himself on his knees, and reported breathlessly:

"Report to the general, Deng Ai led more than 20,000 Wei troops, from the south of Mount Lu from the fog to kill out, after killing hundreds of soldiers of our army, discarded all the burdens, left only weapons, and fled in the direction of Tianshui."

Liang Xu and Liu Bao looked at each other speechlessly, and their hearts suddenly had mixed feelings. The situation that was supposed to die was actually cracked by Deng Ai, and both of them were very ashamed.

Liu Bao raised his lowered head and said: "General, it is all the dereliction of duty of the last general, let the last general lead 10,000 Hun cavalry and go in pursuit!" ”

Liang Xu also arched his hand and said: "The last general is also willing to pursue Deng Ai." ”

Jiang Wei waved his hand and said, "Now Deng Ai must have already taken his life and ran wildly, there is fog everywhere outside, do you know which direction to chase?" There is no need to pursue, no matter where Deng Ai flees now, he can only retreat to Tianshui in the end, so we only need to attack Tianshui, and Deng Ai will not be able to escape. ”

Jiang Wei only felt that all he heard today was bad news, a Cao Zhi, a Deng Ai, none of them were fuel-efficient lamps, there were still capable people in the Great Wei Kingdom, even if Sima Yi was in Liaodong, but the generals of Yongzhou were still not to be underestimated.

On the other hand, except for Yang Yi, who has outstanding administrative ability, can be regarded as first-class, it is difficult for the rest of the generals to have generals who can match Deng Aihuo and Cao Zhi.

However, Jiang Wei, as a traverser, knew that Deng Ainai was a first-class general of the Three Kingdoms, and in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, there were not many generals who could compete with Deng Ai.

Suddenly, Jiang Wei thought of a person, to be precise, a captive, this person was also a famous general in the late Three Kingdoms, and now he happened to be locked up in Lanzhou City by himself.

This person is Chen Tai, a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, if he can subdue Chen Tai, maybe the situation he faces will be greatly improved.

So Jiang Wei ordered: "Xiao Zhuge , you send someone to bring Chen Tai from Lanzhou to our army." ”

Zhuge Zhan was very puzzled: "Brother Boyo, could it be that you still want to persuade that Chen Tai, it's impossible, people's father Chen Qun is the minister of Wei State, how can he return to Han?" ”

"Don't ask so much, just do it, General Ben has his own plans!"

Zhuge Zhan had no choice but to give up his orders.

Jiang Wei ordered again: "Now that the war in Nan'an has come to an end, next, our army will attack Cao Wei's Yongzhou town Tianshui." After ordering Wu Yi to rest for ten days, he will start from Longxi and join the general in Tianshui, and our army must concentrate on pulling out the hard bone of Tianshui. ”

Zhuge Zhan was a little puzzled: "Brother Boyo, aren't we going to fight Wudu?" Isn't our army's goal of opening up the Yongyi Passage to be abandoned? ”

Jiang Wei adjusted his mood and said to Zhuge Zhan: "Little Zhuge , take a good look at the map, if Tianshui is defeated, won't Tianshui and Hanzhong be connected, will Wudu still be important at that time?" ”

Zhuge Zhan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he suddenly felt that Jiang Wei was right.

Indeed, once Tianshui is breached, then Tianshui will be connected to Hanzhong, and there will be many official roads leading to Yizhou, and the importance of Wudu will plummet.

Of course, Wudu is still a nail embedded in Shu Han's body, and it will still make Shu Han feel like a thorn in his back. This is like a needle stuck in the barbecue, although it is very obstructive, but will it affect people to eat the barbecue?

Jiang Wei said: "Now that the army of Hanzhong should have moved, it has made a big move north, entering Tongguan, and wanting to capture Chang'an, so that the defenders of Chang'an can be contained to the greatest extent." As long as Chang'an's army cannot support Tianshui, then our army will have a strength advantage in the Tianshui battlefield. ”

Jiang Wei paused, looked at the emotional people in the room and said: "Everyone, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, my generation should be able to win without arrogance or discouragement, and the lost face will be recovered for me on the battlefield, everyone, with this general, march to Tianshui!" ”
