Chapter 264: The more the merrier

At the same time that Jiang Wei's army broke through Wuguan and made a direct approach to Wancheng, but in fact gradually approached the Qingyang battlefield, Wang Ping's 90,000 troops along the way also poured out of the nest and attacked Hangu Pass like a rolling torrent.

According to the plateau in the west, the river is in the east, the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, because it is located in the "Liangjing Ancient Road", close to the bank of the Yellow River, closed in the valley, and is as dangerous as a letter, so it is called Hangu Pass. It is the earliest Xiongguan fortress built in Chinese history.

As long as this place is captured, the gates of Luoyang will be completely open to Shu Han, and Wang Ping's troops will be able to point directly at the core of Cao Wei's rule: Luoyang City.

Hangu Pass is known as "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", during the Warring States Period, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, and Wei jointly attacked Qin, so far defeated.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, the newly established King Chu Huai announced that whoever entered the Guanzhong first would be the king of Guanzhong in order to quell the war as soon as possible. In the end, Liu Bang accepted Zhang Liang's suggestion to take a detour into the customs and was the first to enter the customs, gaining great prestige and indirectly laying the foundation for the establishment of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the Hangu Pass has been a very important danger in all dynasties.

Wang Ping's army of 90,000 troops, after going out of Tongguan, all the way to the east, unstoppable, successively broke through Hongnong, Dayang, Xin'an and other cities, the front of the army reached the Hangu Pass, so that Cao Wei shook the whole country, and the impact was far greater than the impact of Cao Aya's rebellion in Bingzhou and Jiang Wei Luxun's rekindling of the war in Jingzhou.

After all, most of Cao Wei's princes lived in Luoyang, and if Luoyang was lost, everything would be in vain.

At this time, Cao Wei had just changed the Yuan Dynasty, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were looking forward to the rise of Great Wei like the rising sun and ushering in a new round of development.

But the ruthless reality is that the borders of the Great Wei are full of smoke, and the enemy is even going to fight the national capital.

The princes of the court and the central government were in a panic, and they proposed to move the capital one after another, some proposed to move the capital to Xuchang, and some proposed to move the capital to Yecheng, and even the little emperor Cao Fang was a little flustered, and hurriedly asked Sima Yi how to deal with it.

Sima Yi urgently withdrew from the army of Wang Ling and returned to Luoyang, pacified the little emperor, and shocked the princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and issued an edict in the name of the little emperor: Those who move the capital without permission will be punished with death!

Then he urgently sent Sima Shi and Sima Zhao brothers to lead 30,000 troops to garrison Hangu Pass to prevent Wang Ping from breaking through Hangu Pass, and mobilized soldiers and horses from Youzhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou, and 200,000 troops to begin to assemble in Sizhou to prepare for the upcoming war.

This is tantamount to issuing a general mobilization order for Cao Wei, because among the remaining states, Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and Bingzhou were originally constantly fighting, and only one remaining Yuzhou, on the one hand, was unstable because of Wang Ling's rebellion, and at the same time, Yuzhou also shouldered the heavy responsibility of supporting the Jingyang battlefield, and was temporarily unable to support Sizhou.

Therefore, Sima Yi mobilized almost all the elites of Cao Wei, raised a large army, and fought a decisive battle with Shu Han.

One after another, the holy decrees continued to be distributed to the states, and the entire Cao Wei was mobilized. Now by Sima Yi's side, his two sons have been released to Hangu Pass.

And the team that he worked hard to run was either under the command of Biqiu Jian, or under the command of his two precious sons, who stayed by his side and trusted people, only the young prodigy Zhong Hui remained.

However, Zhong Hui is indeed a material that can be made, and on the way to crusade against Wang Ling, who rebelled in Huainan, Zhong Hui made a lot of plans, such as the following decree to pardon Wang Ling's sins, and asked Sima Yi to write a personal letter to Wang Ling to persuade him to surrender.

It was precisely because of this strategy that Wang Ling's rebellion was quelled extremely quickly, so Sima Yi appreciated Zhong Hui more and more.

After issuing the general mobilization order, Sima Yi found Zhong Hui and asked Zhong Hui what he thought of the current situation?

After combining all kinds of information, Zhong Hui confidently said to Sima Yi:

"Taifu, now my Great Wei is facing a five-way offensive, Shu Han sent troops on two roads, all the way to Sizhou, all the way to Jingzhou, all the way to Jingzhou, all the way to attack Yangzhou, plus Cao Ayan's rebellion, disrupting Hedong and Bingzhou, it is indeed full of smoke, but as long as the key road is repelled, the remaining four roads can retreat!" ”

Sima Yi felt that Zhong Hui's words were very much in line with his heart, so he asked:

"Oh, I wonder which path is the most important in Shiji's opinion?"

Zhong Hui talked eloquently: "All the way to Yangzhou, Dongwu is unable to go north, but in fact it is bluffing; Cao Aya made a mess, but there was a son of heaven in the court, she was unpopular, and it was difficult for her to become a general trend; Hangu Pass has the world, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are two sons in charge, although Wang Ping has many soldiers, but it is difficult to capture for a while, but the one who can be worried is Jingzhou. ”

"Jingzhou has Jiang Wei and Lu Xun two famous generals who can fight habitually, and their departments are all elite divisions of the two countries, if they form a coalition army, the strength is nearly 200,000, if they can't defeat this army, they will definitely become a big trouble for my Great Wei; On the contrary, if this coalition army is defeated, the Han and Wu will be wounded and weakened, and the national strength will be greatly reduced, and sooner or later they will be annexed by our Great Wei. ”

Sima Yi felt that Zhong Hui's analysis was very reasonable, almost the same as what he thought, so he nodded and said: "Shi Ji is really a talent that can be created, so how does Shi Ji think to break the Han and Wu coalition forces?" ”

Zhong Hui thought for a while and said: "Only by trying to destroy the alliance, let Jiang Wei and Lu Xun deviate from Germany, restrain each other, and unable to work together to the north, when the elite of our Great Wei Zhulu converges in Jingzhou, the strength will be far superior to the Han and Wu coalition forces, and with Taifu personally in charge, it can break the Han and Wu in one fell swoop and determine the world." ”

Sima Yi laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hahahaha, Shi Ji, you really look up to the old man!" ”

Zhong Hui hurriedly handed over his hand, "Taifu uses soldiers like a god, even Zhuge Kongming is not an opponent, just Jiang Wei, Lu Xun, He Zudao, as long as Taifu personally takes action, he will not worry about Han Wu Xiaoxiao rampant." ”

Sima Yi said with a smile: "Shi Ji, now that General Biqiu Jian has given up Xinye and is ready to hold in Wancheng, he has 80,000 elite divisions of the Great Wei under his command, and the Han and Wu coalition forces are unbreakable, and you have to urge the reinforcements from various states to arrive at the battlefield in the near future, and when the main force arrives, you will go with the old man to meet Jiang Wei and Lu Xun for a while!" ”

When Zhong Hui heard this, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and hurriedly replied:

"Yes!"

When Cao Wei was intensively mobilizing his army and preparing for a decisive battle with Han Wu in Jingzhou, Jiang Wei deliberately slowed down the pace of his march.

Xiao Zhuge was very puzzled, found Jiang Wei, and asked why he slowed down the pace of the attack, Didn't he book the battlefield in Qingyang?

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuge don't be impatient, Lu Xun will definitely advance to the north quickly, and bite Biqiu Jian to the death, as long as Lu Xun bites Biqiu Jian, then you might as well let Lu Xun and Biqiu Jian fight first, and find out the truth for our army!" ”

"Brother Boyo, Lu Xun's army is not the elite opponent of the Wei army under Biqiu Jian, don't you know this very well? We, as allies, shouldn't we rush to the battlefield as soon as possible? ”

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Xiao Zhuge , you are still not stable enough, you look at me, you are very steady, not impatient!" What are you panicking about? Biqiu Jian can't run away, there are so many cavalry under the command of our army, and Biqiu Jian can't fly with wings. ”

Zhuge Zhan retorted: "But if it is delayed for a long time, and Sima Yi leads a large number of reinforcements over, won't it be too late to make changes?" Our spies have sent news that the Wei State is almost overwhelmed. ”

Jiang Wei looked unfathomable, and said to Zhuge Zhan: "Wouldn't that be better, the more you come, the more Cao Wei will be injured, I, Jiang Bo, will fight, the more the merrier!" ”
