Pseudo-Shu Li is arrogant and promiscuous, mostly lives in the forbidden middle, rarely receives the minister, soothes the old ministers, trusts the left and right, is close to the outside and the inside, and values the distance and the near. At the end of the first month, the Jin army entered Shu and drove directly to Wuyang, and Chengdu was shocked. He gathered 30,000 troops, divided into the right guard general Li Fu, Zhennan general Li Quan, and the former general Zan Jian, and went south to base the enemy. However, the authority is in Zan Jian, and the blessing and power dare not speak quietly.

------- excerpt from the introduction

In February of the third year of Yonghe, as soon as the puppet Shu army came out of Chengdu, there were internal contradictions.

Judging from the map, Wuyang City is located in Jiangbei to the east of the river (at that time, the Minjiang River was the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so Jiangdong was Jiangbei, and Jiangxi was Jiangnan), and Jiangbei has always been a prosperous place, and the main road leading to Chengdu is naturally a key defensive place. The Shu army knows this, and the Jin army should also know it. However, the terrain here has been low, there are many roads, and now the Shu army is overstretched, and it is impossible to fortify everywhere.

Next, Li Fu, the general of the Right Guard, continued to propose that according to the "consistent style" of the Jin army, they would definitely take another shot at Jianwei County and Wuyang City this time, avoid the real and go straight to Chengdu from other roads. The erratic attack of the Jin army has made the Shu army suffer a big loss, and the 50,000 elite Shu army has been fooled to the front line of Fushui, and now there is no greater use except for collective manure making and artificial fertilization for Guanghan County.

Therefore, Li Fu suggested that instead of being led by the Jin army like a headless fly, it was better to wait for work at ease, and set up an ambush in the Mumashan area west of the Pijiang River (now Chengdu Fuhe) on the only way to enter Chengdu from the south road, and concentrate troops to encircle and annihilate the invading Jin army.

Regarding Li Fu's suggestion, Zhennan General Li Quan nodded violently there, expressing his very much agreement.

But the former general Zan Jian was disdainful, he sat upright, stroked his beard unhurriedly, and then said loudly with a famous general posture: "The general of the right guard just said that the Jin army's march is erratic, and it is purely a young man. Since he knows that there are heavy garrisons in the north of the Yangtze River, according to their previous courageous actions, they will definitely attack Chengdu through the south of the Yangtze River, and I intend to cross the river from the north of the Yangtze River, set up an ambush in the south of the Yangtze River, and wipe out the Jin Kou in one fell swoop. ”

After listening to Zan Jian's high theory, Li Fu and Li Quan couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly persuaded: "The Jin army is now in Jiangbei, if you take the Jiangnan, you must cross the river, if you want to go straight to Chengdu, you have to cross the river again, so cumbersome and dangerous, the Jin army will naturally not take this and give up the simplicity of Jiangbei." ”

And Li Quan said more bluntly: "The Jin army is building momentum on the east road but secretly fake the south road, which shows that there are many wise and brave generals in the Jin army, and everything they do along the way is all secretly in line with the essence of the soldiers." We can't predict its clever strategy, rather than this, it is better to wait for work in Muma Mountain, it is more safe, otherwise it will be a reappearance of the Fushui war. ”

When Zan Jian heard it, it was very unhappy. This is not to say that he, a famous general of Shu, is not as good as a famous general of the Jin State, and he advises himself not to go to great lengths to guess how the generals of the Jin army will march into Chengdu, it is better to squat honestly in the south of Chengdu, wait for the Jin army to come to the door, and then fight him to the death.

Zan Jian snorted and said unhappily: "There are only a few thousand Jin troops who have come to invade, how dare they go straight to the place where the heavy troops in Jiangbei are gathered." What is the difference between the two generals taking such a countermeasure and waiting to be killed, and how can they be worthy of His Majesty's trust? ”

Li Fu and Li Quan suddenly became angry. Li Fu's face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and he was trembling so much that even his beard was shaking. But Li Quan's face was flushed, his mouth trembled a few times, and finally he shuddered two sentences: "The former general crossed to the west like this, but he let go of Jiangbei, if the Jin army drove straight into Chengdu, you and I would be sinners through the ages." ”

Zan Jian's face immediately changed greatly, and he stood up suddenly: "The Jin army is only a few thousand rogues, and the leading generals are just guts rats, so what are you afraid of." You and the other two would rather garrison near Chengdu than lead the troops south to base the enemy, I'm afraid you have ulterior motives. ”

Well, Zan Jian raised the military controversy to the level of conspiracy, and immediately frightened Li Fu and Li Quan. The older and steady Li Fu hurriedly remained silent and lowered his head in contemplation. And the young and vigorous Li Quan was stunned for a while, but jumped up: "Lao Tzu is not afraid, Lao Tzu is also a member of the Li family, and he is loyal to the Han (Cheng Han)." Lao Tzu will distinguish this matter clearly with you before going to the palace, Your Majesty wants us to work at ease, but you ******** to transfer to Jiangnan, who is the ill-intentioned? ”

Seeing that everyone had torn their faces, Zan Jian was not polite, and immediately stood up and said to Li Fu and Li Quan: "Since this is the case, then you will guard your Muma Mountain, and I will go to Jiangnan to set up an ambush to see who can wipe out this Jin army in one fell swoop." After saying that, he walked away.

On the second day, Zan Jian, the former general of the puppet Shu, led more than 10,000 people from his headquarters to cross the river from Yuanyang Qi in Jiangbei (now northwest of Shuangliu Town, northeast bank of Minjiang River) and went straight into Jiangnan, preparing to set up an ambush here and annihilate the Jin army in one fell swoop.

Li Fu, the general of the right guard of the puppet Shu, and Li Quan, the general of Zhennan, watched the Zan Jian Department composed of the "Royal Forest Army" in Chengdu disappear in front of their eyes, and then looked back at their more than 15,000 subordinates who were trembling slightly in the cold wind of early spring, almost wanting to cry without tears. Of the 25,000 southbound troops collected by Li Shi, more than 10,000 were elite men and horses mainly composed of the defenders of Chengdu City and the forbidden army, and their combat effectiveness was barely enough, while most of the remaining 15,000 people were temporarily captured from the vicinity of Chengdu, and there was still a smell of earth on their bodies, but they were forced to take knives and guns and put on armor.

Li Fu and Li Quan looked at their subordinates who were more like soldiers and peasants, and they both had the heart to throw themselves into the river, big brother, we are going to fight, not to collect firewood!

Li Fu sighed, and said to Li Quan gloomily with tears: "I'm afraid that the Li family will not be in the future, let's do our best, and we can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors of the Li family!" ”

Li Quan was silent for a long time, and finally raised his godless eyes and replied weakly: "Then let's go south to Wuyang City, according to the city, these horses may be more useful." ”

In the afternoon, Li Fu and Li Quan ordered the whole army to march south.

Just as Li Fu and Li Quan led the army south, Zeng Hua led the former army to bypass Jianwei County to govern Wuyang City, and went north to attack the important town of Dajiang - Pengmo (now southeast of Pengshan, Sichuan, on the east bank of the Minjiang River), and then Huan Wen led the army to the north, and settled in Pengmo to plan the next move.

It is very close to Chengdu, and the fruits of the victory of the Western Expedition are almost at your fingertips, but everyone's hearts are a little uneasy. This is the same as going to hunt wolves, when they were far away from the wolves at the beginning, everyone was high-spirited and swept everything, but when everyone arrived at the door of the wolf's den, they had to be careful to prevent the wolves from dying and struggling.

Although Li Shi in Chengdu is not a wolf, but the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention that everyone is not here to eat in Chengdu this time, but to raid people's nests, Li Shi can not fight with you? Everyone knows that Li Shi's brigade was deceived to the front line of Fushui, which is hundreds of miles away, and there are only more than 10,000 people in Chengdu, which is almost the same as the more than 9,000 people of the Western Expeditionary Army. But if Li Shi suddenly becomes brave, and one can beat you with 5,000, won't the strength of the Western Expedition army be greatly defeated? What's more, Fushui and Chengdu are not separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and under Li Shi's strict orders, some people may be able to be transferred back urgently, and then they will crash into it, and there will be no place to escape.

Thinking of this, everyone is grinding their teeth and puffing out their cheeks, and no one wants to speak, because this topic is not easy to pick.

In the end, Sima Wuji, the Taishou of Nanjun who was still with the army, was really Wuji, and first said: "I don't know that our troops are divided into two roads, each following Jiangbei and Jiangnan as well as Chengdu, so that the pseudo-Shu army can also be forced to divide its troops to deal with it, which can not only reduce our pressure, but also make the Shu army unable to distinguish our main force." As long as one of us breaks into Chengdu, the nearby puppet Shu armies will definitely be in chaos without a fight, and the big thing will be done. ”

Yizhou Assassin Zhou Fu and Zhou Chu, two fathers and sons who joined the army (forgot to explain, Zhou Fu and Zhou Chu are also two fathers and sons without DNA testing, and they are both Huan Wen's henchmen) agreed with this suggestion, but Mao Muzhi and Sun Sheng disagreed with this suggestion, but they couldn't put forward a more favorable and feasible opinion, so the two voters began to argue.

The decision-maker Huan Wen sat in the middle but didn't say a word, but just touched his beautiful beard vigorously, and it seemed that his heart was also undecided. Now that we've come to this point, it's a bit hard to ride a tiger.

Soon, Huan Wen made a move, he turned his gaze to Zeng Hua, the former military protector and captain of Changshui, who was on the right seat, and said, "Xuping, what do you think?" ”

When everyone heard this, they all stopped arguing and turned their attention to Zeng Hua, the former commander of the Protector Army and Captain Changshui. Everyone understands in their hearts that the Western Expeditionary Army came to the south of Chengdu so easily today, and it is close to the great achievements because of this Western Expeditionary Army vanguard and the 3,000 brave Changshui Army he trained single-handedly. Zeng Hua's performance along the way has made everyone clearly understand how important the position of this captain Changshui in the Western Expedition army is, and it is estimated that without Zeng Hua's approval, the Western Expedition Commander Huan Wen will not agree to any suggestions.

Zeng Hua, who had been silent on the side just now and did not participate in the dispute between the two votes, raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said with a slight smile: "Our army lasted three months, traveled tens of thousands of miles, and has gone deep into the hinterland of pseudo-Shu, hanging alone in the eyes of strong enemies. Everyone is also very clear about the current situation, success will lead to a great victory, and an immortal achievement will be established, and defeat will lead to the destruction of the whole army, and no one will be left behind. ”

Hearing this, Huan Wen, Zhou Fu, Sima Wuji and others nodded in agreement.

"At this time of great danger, can we still divide our troops? We now have only 10,000 people (in fact, there are only more than 8,000 people), and the battle is like the end of a strong crossbow, if we do not work together to conquer Chengdu, we are afraid that we will die without a place to bury. If the troops are divided, what will the subordinate soldiers think? Most of them will not understand our division of forces, and will only think that we are exhausted and flee. With such a big demoralization and discouragement, how can you still fight? Besides, once the troops are divided and advanced in both directions, the strength of each road will be greatly reduced, and it will be more difficult to resist a strong enemy. Once frustrated on the way, even if Sun Wu is reborn, there is probably nothing to be done. ”

Speaking of this, everyone was silent, and it seemed that they had been calmed by Zeng Hua's words. It seems that it is still necessary to learn more dialectics, think more about the positive and negative sides of affairs, and choose the side with the best result. When I got back, I had time to blow Hegel to my men.

However, the current Zeng Hua just flashed some "strange thoughts", and then continued his topic.

"Today's plan is to have a chance to win only if the whole army is united, marches forward bravely, and fights to the death. Duke Huan, I suggest that the whole army abandon all the burdens and only carry three days' rations, in order to show that they are invincible and will not return, and continue to go north while the heavy troops of the puppet Shu Fushui have not yet returned to defense. My Changshui Army is willing to continue to be the vanguard, break through the front 30 miles, echo with the front and rear of the army, and drive straight to Chengdu! ”

Huan Wen was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered the whole army to discard the excess baggage, go into battle lightly, and still take the Changshui Army as the vanguard, starting from Pengmo, taking Jiangbei, and going straight to Chengdu.

On the tenth night of the second month of the third year of Yonghe, on the east side of the Min River north of Pengmo, an army was marching in a hurry.

Looking at the column in front of him marching rapidly but in formation in the moonlight, Zeng Hua couldn't help but be a little stunned. This army was brought out by himself, integrating all his hard work, and also infiltrating his own "unique" thoughts in this world. It is the foundation of its foothold in this world, but also its most solid support in this world, in its own dreams, it has to shoulder a heavy task, there is still a long way to go, now its skeleton and ideas have been established, but also experienced the test of blood and fire, began to grow up slowly, and they will slowly do everything to enrich its wings, so that it becomes a war machine with the most advanced technology, the strictest discipline, the most effective tactics, the most perfect system, it is not only invincible, And have a mind of your own and know what to fight for!

Just as Zeng Hua was in infinite reverie there, a voice next to him interrupted him.

"Captain!" The one who opened his mouth was Xu Dang, the owner of the third building, who was an officer on duty today and had just returned from inspecting the team.

"Joyama, where have we been?" Zeng Hua came back to his senses, looked at the Chengdu Plain under the moonlight and asked. He had traveled to Chengdu once before, but he still didn't feel the "Chengdu taste" that he appreciated. Damn, the gap of thousands of years is still quite big!

Xu Dang hurriedly replied: "Back to the military master, we have just passed Baima Beach, and five miles in front is the Old Crow Forest, less than a hundred miles away from Chengdu. "According to the system of officers on duty formulated by Zeng Hua, in addition to all the intelligence information collected in the military service bureau led by Che Yin, because the officers on duty are responsible for guarding the important military center, some important information will also be copied to him.

"At this marching speed, can you get to Twin Beaches, eighty miles away from Chengdu, before dawn?" Zeng Hua Q&A.

Xu Dang looked up at the sky, it was already the third watch, and twenty miles should be able to arrive before dawn, and he was still confident in the speed of the rapid march of the Changshui army.

"No problem!"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it!" As soon as Xu Dang's words fell, a negative voice came from afar.

"Che joins the army!" "Wuzi!" Zeng Hua and Xu Dang immediately heard that it was Che Yin who joined the army who poured cold water.

"Wuzi, why do you say that?" Zeng Hua turned around and asked.

"Lord, the Chinese army has sent a military order from Lord Huan, saying that our front army is marching too fast, and it is fifty miles away from the Chinese army, and asks us to stop and wait for them." Che Yin replied.

Hearing this answer, Zeng Hua was a little crying and laughing.

The rapid march was the daily training subject of the Changshui Army, and under Zeng Hua's strict supervision, it had become a "flying army." On that day, he traveled from Jiangyang for three days and three nights, and drove 500 miles of mountain roads, which not only frightened the Shu army, but also frightened his own friendly army.

This time, the whole army took Chengdu lightly, and the Changshui Army was the vanguard again, so they immediately raised their legs and left, leaving the army far behind. The armies behind are in a hurry! If this fight continues, people haven't seen what Chengdu City looks like, the Changshui Army has rushed into Chengdu, according to their fierce energy, it is estimated that the pseudo-Shu army guarding Chengdu City will inevitably be attacked by night again.

However, Huan Wen considered it from the perspective of the whole army, hoping that the front army would not be too far away from the army, and it would lose the role of echoing the front and back. So he sent an order to Zeng Hua, hoping that the Changshui Army would stop and rest.

Zeng Hua understood what Huan Wen meant, and sent an order to Xu Dang, asking the whole army to rest on the spot and wait for the state of the Chinese army to make a decision.

Approaching the fourth watch, the front camp outpost suddenly reported an urgent military situation, and found that there was a Shu army stationed in Tanggou, about five miles northwest of the front, with about 10,000 people, and the number and main general were unknown.

When Zeng Hua heard this, he immediately jumped up from the grass. If you don't eat the fat meat in your mouth, you don't eat it in vain, what's wrong with 10,000 people, in the night attack, 20,000 people of the Changshui Army dare to fight. If you take advantage of it but can't win, let's just pull out our legs and run, and you can't catch up, this trick is very familiar with the Changshui Army.

"Send a message to Lord Zhongjunhuan. Now they should be in Hua'ao, forty miles away, tell them to be careful, and send more spies around, I always feel that there is more than such a Shu army around. It's almost time to arrive in Chengdu City, and the pseudo-Shu can't give us another empty city plan, and it should be time for the Shu army to greet us. ”

Zeng Hua's intuition was really accurate, stationed in Tanggou was the 10,000 horses of Li Quan, the general of the southern part of the puppet Shu Zhennan, while the 5,000 men and horses of Li Fu, the general of the right guard, were stationed on the slope of Hua'ao only a few miles away. After the two of them knew that the Jin army bypassed Wuyang and directly captured Pengmo, they did not retreat, nor did they advance. As soon as the two of them combined, they simply divided the troops into two ways, and took advantage of the fact that the Jin army was stationed in Pengmo to repair and attack, and the Jin army was encircled and counterattacked.

Friends, be kind, you can't just watch and not vote!
