Chapter 243: Chengdu is in danger

Jiang Wei, who received this message, was suddenly struck by lightning.

Originally, he had a great hope of annihilating Cao Shuang's 120,000 army in one go. He and Wang Ping's two armies have achieved the strategic encirclement of Cao Shuang's 120,000 army.

And successfully defeated the Wei army on the frontal battlefield, as long as the Wei army's camp was broken again, the battle achieved a decisive victory.

And the annihilation of this 120,000 army, Cao Wei is bound to break his muscles and bones, as long as he makes persistent efforts to break through the Wei capital Luoyang in one fell swoop, Cao Wei will definitely be greatly injured, and he will never return to the glory of the past.

Unexpectedly, Deng Ai and Cao Zhi actually attacked Chengdu from the Yinping Trail.

Jiang Wei's brain was dizzy for a while, and he reluctantly remembered that in the history of the previous life, Deng Ai was also a Shu Han who perished on the path of Yin Ping.

At this time, although the strength of Shu Han was many times stronger than that of the previous life, Chengdu's defense was not fundamentally different from the previous life, and it was very empty.

The only difference is that in his previous life, there was also a man named Zhuge Zhan who stood up and led the Chengdu defenders to resist Deng Ai desperately. And in this life, Zhuge Zhan is still by his side.

With Chengdu's weak troops, it is extremely difficult to resist the 45,000 army of Deng Ai and Cao Zhi, and if Chengdu is breached, according to Liu Chan's character, most of them will choose to surrender.

At that time, he only needed Liu Chan's will, and he had to surrender, and Jiang Wei was surrendered by Liu Chan's edict in his previous life. The soldiers in Jiang Wei's army all drew their swords and slashed stones to vent their anger, but they were helpless.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei suddenly made a keen judgment, he couldn't entangle with Cao Shuang anymore, and now that he had completely defeated Cao Shuang, even if he let Cao Shuang, the lost dog, go back, he Cao Shuang wouldn't be able to make any waves.

But in case Chengdu is broken and Shu Han perishes, all Jiang Wei's previous efforts may come to naught.

It happened that Cao Shuang sent He Yan over for peace talks.

In order to stabilize the situation, Jiang Wei quickly returned to Chengdu to help, and tried his best to overcome public opinion, and made a condition that as long as Cao Shuang cut Deng Yang who insulted him three times and gave up all the baggage in the camp, he would withdraw his troops, and give up Lantian and let the Wei army return to Great Wei through Wuguan.

He Yan couldn't be happier, he originally thought that Jiang Wei would definitely not agree, or at least ask the Wei army to disarm, but he didn't expect Jiang Wei's conditions to be so low, so he immediately agreed, and then went back with an excited face.

Jiang Wei then ordered the armies to retreat twenty miles back and remove the encirclement of the Wei army's camp, and ordered Wang Ping to withdraw to Tongguan and withdraw the garrison of Lantian.

The generals were extremely puzzled, and they came to Jiang Wei's camp one after another, all of them blushed, seeing that they were about to annihilate the Wei army, why did Jiang Wei suddenly choose to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei didn't explain to everyone at all, and when he saw that the main generals had arrived, he quickly issued a series of military orders.

Ling Liang Qian led 2,000 Tiefutu, Oh He Yaoge led 20,000 Qiang cavalry, and Liu Bao led 10,000 Hun archers, and immediately set off with Jiang Wei and galloped to Chengdu through Hanzhong.

Ling Ma Dai led 20,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry to withdraw from the Han and Wu coalition forces, and then he could return to Hanzhong, without waiting for Jiang Wei's cavalry, and rushed directly to Chengdu.

Ordered Zhuge Zhan to temporarily lead Chang'an Taishou, and on behalf of Jiang Wei to command Chang'an's Hanzhong soldiers and horses, as well as Yongliang soldiers and horses from all walks of life. Cooperate with Wang Ping and Wei Yan, be sure to capture Wuguan and open up the passage between the Guanzhong Plain and Wancheng.

Ling Liao Hua continued to cooperate one after another, and went north to attack Wancheng.

So that Pan Ping and Zhang Xue did not have to rush to Chang'an, but turned directly to the south and rushed to Chengdu.

In addition, he sent a letter to Jiangzhou and asked Deng Zhi to send troops to Chengdu as soon as possible.

I sent a letter to Nanzhong and asked Ma Zhong to send troops to Chengdu as soon as possible.

After a series of military orders were issued, the generals were a little confused, but they more or less heard some clues, Jiang Wei all these arrangements revolved around a center, Chengdu, the capital of Shu Han.

In the puzzled eyes of the generals, Zhuge Zhan took the lead in asking, "Brother Boyo, but what happened in Chengdu?" ”

Jiang Wei took a long breath and said in a deep voice:

"Deng Ai and Cao Zhi, with 45,000 soldiers and horses in Wudu, passed through the Yinping Trail, and attacked Chengdu by surprise!"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked to the extreme.

How empty Chengdu is at the moment, most of the people present are clear. No wonder Jiang Wei is so anxious, no wonder Jiang Wei is all cavalry.

Indeed, the infantry will definitely not have time to rush to the aid of Chengdu, and even if it is the cavalry, it is unknown whether they will have time to rescue Chengdu.

If Chengdu is captured by Deng Ai and Cao Zhi, then perhaps, all the previous efforts of everyone will come to naught.

In the big tent, everyone looked worried, and everyone understood why Jiang Wei was willing to negotiate peace with Cao Shuang. Because compared with the annihilation of Cao Shuang, the safety of Chengdu is a hundred times more important.

Jiang Wei comforted: "You don't have to be too anxious, Chengdu is the capital of the Han Dynasty after all, the defense is strong, and there are 14,000 royal forest troops under the command of General Xiang Xiang, if General Xiang chooses to take the initiative to attack and set up a formation in Mianzhu Pass, he can drag Deng Ai for a while." If General Deng Zhi received the news, he would definitely send reinforcements to Chengdu as soon as possible. ”

Zhuge Zhan was suddenly a little anxious: "Brother Boyo, I will also go back with you, my sister Zhuge Guo is still in Chengdu, I want to protect her!" ”

Jiang Wei shook his head, in the history of his previous life, it was Zhuge Zhan who stepped forward to resist Deng Ai in Mianzhu Pass, and finally died in Mianzhu Pass, in that battle, Zhuge Zhan led Zhang Fei's grandson Zhang Zun, Huang Quan's son Huang Chong, and Li Hui's nephew Li Qiu to resist Deng Ai.

After these famous generals formed the last line of defense of Shu Han, in front of the battle-hardened Deng Ai was simply vulnerable, most of the sons of Shu Han died in Mianzhu Pass, the last elite of Shu Han was lost, resulting in the emptiness of Chengdu's defense, and finally Liu Chan had to surrender the city.

Even though Jiang Wei knew that this life was completely different from the previous life, he was still unwilling to take Zhuge Zhan to help Chengdu, on the one hand, Jiang Wei was afraid that history had its strong law of cause and effect; On the other hand, Chang'an also needs a person he can trust to guard.

Now in terms of civil affairs, Jiang Wei has transferred Yang Yi to Chengdu, and in terms of military and political affairs, the only thing Jiang Wei can trust is Zhuge Zhan, Zhuge Zhan has followed him for so long, and he should be alone.

So Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuge rest assured, your sister's safety will be handed over to me!" ”

Suddenly, he remembered something again, so he said to Zhuge Zhan: "When I gave Ma Dai an order, I sent a letter to Wen Yuan by the way, before I borrowed troops to help her rescue her father, she promised to repay me a favor, if she is a trustworthy person, she will rush to Chengdu with Ma Dai, and this kindness will be repaid!" ”

Zhuge Zhan was a little surprised: "Wen Yuan is a Wei general after all, let her rush to Chengdu to fight against Cao Zhi and Deng Ai, I'm afraid she won't agree!" ”

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Stupid, you! Who told her what she was doing back to Chengdu? Just tell her it's to save someone! Shangyong will return to Chengdu faster than us, if there is Wen Yuan, I will be much more relieved! ”

Everyone still had a lot of questions, but Jiang Wei immediately stopped everyone and said solemnly: "Time is pressing, the governor of Pontus will not talk to you in detail, all matters big and small are based on Zhuge Zhan's military orders, and if there is something that cannot be decided, Xiao Zhuge can ask me by letter." ”

So he shouted: "Liang Qian, Oh He Yaoge, Liu Bao!" Let the three of you gather your troops and set off immediately! ”

Just as he was about to set off, a report came from the soldiers, saying that Cao Shuang had cut off Deng Yang's head and sent it to the front of the camp.

Jiang Wei looked disgusted when he heard this, and said, "What do you want this thing to do?" Throw it directly to feed the dogs! ”

After that, he hurriedly stepped out of the big tent, gathered his soldiers and horses, and set off for Chengdu.
