Chapter 20: New Missions

In the big tent of the Shu army, Zhuge Liang asked the generals what their plans were next, and Yang Yi gave suggestions.

It was suggested that Zhuge Liang send his troops to Chang'an and point directly at Guanzhong.

If Chang'an is taken and Guanzhong is occupied, then Shu Han will occupy the foundation of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the King of Qin will sweep away the Six Kingdoms.

At that time, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, it was because they occupied the Shuzhong Plain and the Guanzhong Plain that they achieved hegemony.

It can be said that Yang Yi's suggestion is to hope to expand the sphere of influence of Shu Han to the Guanzhong area in one step.

Occupy the danger of Cuihan and fight against Cao Wei.

The most important thing is to be able to return the Han family to the old capital and tell the people of the world that the Han Dynasty is not dead.

At that time, as long as the scholars and doctors who still have the Han family in their hearts, they will rush to come to Shu Han.

In this way, it can be regarded as the capital to be able to compete with Cao Wei to dominate the world.

Today's Shu Han only has one state, Yizhou, and Cao Wei occupies the six states of Kyushu in the world, and Shu Han is not an opponent at all.

However, after Yang Yi's words came out, Zhuge Liang did not immediately agree, but looked at the other generals under his account, wanting to hear the suggestions of other generals.

When Wei Yan saw Yang Yi stand up, he was naturally the first to stand up and object, saying:

"It's ridiculous, Yang Yi's words are going to put our army to death."

"Although our army has won a big victory now, Sima Yi has not broken his muscles and bones."

"Chang'an City's high city and deep pool, it is not easy to attack at all, plus Sima Yi is on the side, if you rashly attack Chang'an City, I am afraid that Sima Yi will attack from behind."

"At that time, we will be in a dilemma, I am afraid that the whole army will be intercepted and killed by Sima Yi in the Guanzhong area."

"Prime Minister, I thought that our army should attack Chencang to the west, and then march to Longxi, Tianshui, Anding and other counties, and pocket the counties of Longyou."

"As for Guanzhong, wait for the time to be ripe in the future, after our army is fully prepared, I will lead the army out of the Meridian Valley, and the prime minister will go out of the Chencang crossing, and under the attack from both sides, it is possible to attack Chang'an."

Wei Yan didn't give any face, and directly refuted Yang Yi, making Yang Yi's face red.

Then he once again proposed the strategy of sending troops out of the Meridian Valley, wanting to attack Zhuge Liang on both sides and take Chang'an.

Zhuge Liang did not agree or object, but looked at Jiang Wei, wanting to hear what good strategies his proud disciple had.

Seeing this, Jiang Wei slowly stood up, arched his hand towards Zhuge Liang and said:

"Prime Minister, I think we should still send troops to the north."

"Now we have broken through Guo Huai's camp and occupied the north and south banks of Weishui, which can be attacked and defended."

"As long as you capture Yongcheng next, cut off the Longshan Road, and then contact Huqiang in Yongliang and other places, and capture the counties of Longyou, then the big thing can be done."

Jiang Wei's suggestion was similar to Wei Yan's, but Wei Yan wanted to go west to capture Chencang, while Jiang Wei suggested going north and capturing Yongcheng.

Chencang is the military town of Fufeng County, and has always served as the western gateway of Fufeng County, as long as Chencang City is taken, Fufeng County will no longer be defenseless.

At the same time, Chen Cang is the end of Chen Cang Road, it is Shu Han who wants to cross the Qinling Mountains from Hanzhong and attack Guanzhong, and the first battle is Chen Cangcheng.

Back then, Han Xin helped Liu Bang fight for the world, and the first battle was to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chencang, and this Chencang City was the first battle of Han Xin's fame.

When Zhuge Liang was on the second Northern Expedition, he also wanted to take the Chencang Road, but he met Hao Zhao, a famous general of Cao Wei.

Hao Zhao relied on Chen Cangjian City and only used 3,000 defenders to withstand the three-month siege of Zhuge Liang's 50,000 army, resulting in the second Northern Expedition in vain.

Not only that, Chencang Road is also an important town in the section of the Weishui River Valley, and it can be said that Chencang is a military town connecting Longxi and Guanzhong.

As long as Chen Cang is taken, Guanzhong will inevitably be shaken.

And Jiang Wei's suggestion to capture Yongcheng also has a great origin.

Yongcheng is the starting point of Longshan Road, which passes through Yongcheng, Longxian, Longshan Pass, Jieting, Tianshui and other places.

It is the important place of Guanzhong connecting Longyou.

From these familiar names, you can see the importance of Longshan Road.

Street Pavilion, this place is the biggest pain in Zhuge Liang's life.

At the beginning, as soon as Zhuge Liang came out of Qishan, the first Northern Expedition was also the closest to a successful Northern Expedition.

Under Zhuge Liang's sudden attack, the counties of Longxi surrendered, and only Longxi County and Guangwei County were still resisting.

The three armies of Nan'an County, Anding County, and Tianshui County surrendered without a fight, which can be said to have given the Shu army a great advantage.

At this time, Zhuge Liang sent people out of the praise slope to attack Meixian and other places as suspicious soldiers.

It can be said that the situation is very good, as long as Longxi County and Guangwei County are taken next, and these territories in Longxi are successfully digested, I am afraid that Shu Han will be a different situation.

However, after Cao Zhen saw through Zhuge Liang's intentions, he only left a partial division and stationed in Chencang Road to guard against Zhao Yun and others.

He personally commanded 100,000 Yongliang troops and Yongzhou assassin Guo Huai in Shangtai City and confronted Zhuge Liang.

And Cao Wei Emperor Cao Rong ordered Zhang He to lead an army of 50,000 from Wancheng to the north to rescue the counties of Longxi, and Cao Rong himself personally drove to Chang'an to supervise the battle.

Wei and Shu gathered 200,000 troops in Longxi and began to fight each other over the counties of Longxi.

Although the Shu army has fewer troops, it occupies the initiative.

As long as Sima Ma Tan, who joined the army, led the army and blocked Zhang He in the street pavilion, the Shu army would be able to win a complete victory in this battle.

The reason why Zhang He wanted to take a detour to the street pavilion was because there were only two roads to enter Longxi from Guanzhong.

The first was to march west along the Weishui River valley from Chencang City, but the road was winding and rugged, and was not suitable for a large army.

The second one needs to take a long detour, take the Longshan Road, go north through Yongcheng, and then go west to Jingjieting and arrive in Longxi.

Zhang He led an army of 50,000 and finally defeated Ma Tan on the Longshan Road, resulting in Zhuge Liang's failure.

Now that the Shu Han army has occupied the north and south banks of Weishui, the first Weishui River valley itself has been blocked by the Wei army.

If you go to occupy Yongcheng again, the Shu army will completely cut off the road from Guanzhong to Longyou.

Jiang Wei's route sounds like the most feasible route.

After all, the Chencang City that Wei Yan said was too strong, and Zhuge Liang's original army of 50,000 could not take the Chencang City garrisoned by 3,000 people.

Coupled with what Jiang Wei said, contacting Qianghu and Haoqiang in the counties of Longyou, then it is very possible to cut off the Guanzhong and steal Longyou's plan.

As long as Shu can occupy Longxi, then Shu will have a condescending posture towards Cao Wei's Guanzhong.

In addition, Longxi has the most scarce population, food and war horses in Shu, the most important thing is war horses, and the number of war horses in the Shu army is in short supply.

When the time came, Cao Wei's Guanzhong General had to garrison heavy troops to defend the Shu army.

Under the advantages of the other, it is really possible for Shu Han to be able to compete with Wei in terms of strength in the future.

Zhuge Liang slowly showed a smile on his face, Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with his carefully trained disciple.

Jiang Wei grew up in Longyou since he was a child, and has also served as a Langzhong in Tianshui County for a long time, so he knows the local customs and geographical environment well.

He was able to rely on his own understanding of the terrain and make suggestions according to the appropriate location, so as to better attack the Wei army.

Zhuge Liang originally planned to implement Jiang Wei's plan, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of Liu Yu standing in Wei Yan.

Thinking of Liu Yu's previous performance, Zhuge Liang mentioned it casually:

"Dexing, I wonder what you think?"

Liu Yu was stunned when he heard this, but then he stepped out of the column and walked into the center of the big tent, intending to speak out in support of Jiang Wei's proposal.

After all, from an objective point of view, Jiang Wei's suggestion is the most pertinent.

Now the Shu army has begun to reclaim wasteland and farm on the south bank of Weishui, in order to be able to fight a protracted war with the Wei army.

And if it is a protracted war, Jiang Wei's strategy can be described as a brilliant strategy.

But just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Ding Dong!】 A new task is detected, please check it in a timely manner. 】

Liu Yu hurriedly checked, only to see the new task content:

[Release task: Within half a month, let the Shu army withdraw. 】

[Mission Success: 10,000 Bonus Points]

[Mission Failed: Death]

Liu Yu only felt that a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

Now that the Shu army has just won a big victory, it is the time when morale is high, and at this time, the proposal to withdraw the troops is only afraid that they will be beaten to death by the generals in the tent.

But at this time, Liu Yu had no way out, so he could only bite the bullet and say to Zhuge Liang:

"Prime Minister Qi, I think that our army should return to Hanzhong and choose a day to carry out the Northern Expedition."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the tent, and everyone looked at Liu Yu in disbelief, suspecting that they had heard it wrong.
