Chapter 45: First Chop and Then Play

Deng Ai's recital is still very different from others.

Someone else's recital was to ask Cao Chao if he could do this.

And Deng Ai's recital told Cao Chao that he had decided to do this.

Cao Chao had already made up his mind, and after pacifying the Shu Kingdom, he would let Deng Ai go to farming, and never let him touch the army again.

He originally thought that Zhong Hui was going to kill him because Deng Ai was not good-looking, and he destroyed Shu so that Zhong Hui could not be sealed.

But through Deng Ai's recent performance, Cao Chao finally understood why Sima Zhao and Zhong Hui both wanted to kill this person.

How to say it, Cao Chao has never seen such a smart and stupid person.

You say he is smart, he deliberately forced the Qiang Hu, and wanted to use the Qiang people's head to engage in Jingguan, and then caused the Great War of Wei Shu, and now he has crossed Zhuge Dan and others, and directly sent a letter to Cao Chao, saying that he wanted to bypass the Sword Pavilion and attack Chengdu directly.

These things, you say that it is not right to defile yourself, who is so polluted by yourself?

This is pushing yourself to death.

But if you call him stupid, he can successfully eliminate Qianghu, who has been entrenched in Yongliang for many years, and Jiang Wei was embarrassed, and he retreated in defeat after defeat, all the way from Gansong to Sword Pavilion.

Now it is proposed to bypass the Sword Pavilion and go straight to Chengdu.

In fact, unlike what was said in the deduction, there are many ways to bypass the Sword Pavilion, not that Deng Ai found a path that no one knew about and won by luck.

Although there are many ways to get around the Sword Pavilion, there are several problems.

First of all, the roads that can bypass the Sword Pavilion are all mountain roads, and this road is very difficult to walk, leading the army to pass through here, it is easy to overturn, causing a lot of losses.

And once you are discovered by the enemy, the enemy will wait for work, and you will be completely annihilated, and you will not be able to walk this road.

In addition, even if you can get out of this road and bypass the Sword Pavilion, you still have to face the defense line of Chengdu, Chengdu still has the Chinese army in charge, and there is the army of the Sword Pavilion behind you, and the two sides are flanking, you still have no chance of winning.

Lead the army on a long journey, over the mountains and mountains, bypass the Sword Pavilion, and then fight against the elite Chinese army in Chengdu, and then win at a very fast speed, otherwise you will be flanked

Taken together, these conditions made the generals dare not try to bypass the Sword Pavilion again.

Therefore, Deng Ai's success in history depends on his extraordinary talent, and the courage that ordinary people can't match, which is definitely not as easy as some people say by luck and finding a road that no one sticks to.

Even his military achievements aside, his achievements in domestic politics are surprising enough.

He is a good hand at farming, and the kind that is indistinguishable from Wang Ji may even be stronger than Wang Ji on the whole.

This makes Deng Ai look very complicated.

Seriously, if it weren't for his talent, Cao Chao would really want to remove him.

And at this moment, Deng Ai once again talked about his crazy plan.

When he saw this strategy, Zhang Hua subconsciously shook his head.

"It's absolutely impossible."

"The mountain road is extremely difficult to navigate, and even if it can be passed, how many soldiers will be left?"

"After bypassing the Sword Pavilion, Chengdu will be heavily guarded, with a tired army, how can we defeat the elite of Shu who are waiting for work?"

"It's absolutely impossible."

Cao Chao pursed his lips, but as long as he didn't have those memories that transcended time and space, he would order Zhuge Dan and let them stop Deng Ai.

However, after having those memories, Cao Chao knew that Deng Ai was really capable of completing these things.

Besides, it's useless to say anything now, Deng Ai is not asking himself at all, he just tells himself, maybe at this moment, he has already set off.

Zhang Hua obviously reacted, and he immediately changed his face.

"Deng Ai, how dare you do this?!"

"If the army is lost"

"Mao Xian, forget it, since he has this confidence, let him do it, even if he wants to deal with it, he has to wait until he finishes these things."

"Yui"

At this moment, rumors are rife in Chengdu.

The news of this war soon spread to all parts of the country and became known to the ministers.

Moreover, Liu Chan didn't hide much.

Dong Ju in Shangshutai was already panicked and at a loss.

"Dong Gong!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

"Say Hanzhong has been lost?"

Many ministers were crowded into Dong Ju's room at this moment, looking at Dong Ju with an uneasy expression.

The interior of Shu is already a mess.

Dong Ju looked at the ministers in front of him, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, his understanding of this battle is also very limited, the progress of the war is too fast, and the enemy is completely advancing at the speed of sweeping and pushing.

Dong Ju often just received a piece of information, and was immediately overturned by the next one.

The entire Shangshutai was almost paralyzed at the moment, and the ministers were in a mess, waiting for news of the war all day long, and even forgot about the infighting.

A minister asked solemnly: "Dong Gong, tell me, where is the thief Cao?!" ”

Dong Ju looked at the people in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and then said: "You don't have to worry, the general is already sitting in the Sword Pavilion, and he will definitely be able to block the incoming enemy."

"What?! Cao Jun has all fought to the Sword Pavilion?! ”

Dong Ju's words were in the ears of the ministers, and that meant something else.

Dong Ju couldn't say it clearly, he wasn't a person who could speak well, and his explanations were not clear, so the ministers were even more anxious.

By the time they left Shangshutai, there was something wrong with everyone's faces.

They looked at each other, and they stopped talking.

Qian Zhou's hatred of the country caused a huge impact in Shu, and the beliefs of the ministers suffered a great impact.

When they found that the war had been irreparably eroded, the first thing the ministers thought of was how to protect themselves.

If Jiang Wei was beaten to the Sword Pavilion, then there was no possibility of saving the matter.

Hearing that Yong'an was even more crumbling, Yan Yu had already sent people to ask for support several times in a row.

So, if Cao Wei's army is killed, how can he protect his clan from being slaughtered?

It's not just the ministers who think like this, but even the old generals.

When they learned that Jiang Wei was defeated and the enemy had reached the Sword Pavilion, they didn't even have the slightest touch, Liu Chan ordered them to lead the army, and they were also unhurriedly prepared.

As Zongzhu said, we have all been fighting all our lives, we are all over 70 years old, and when we are dying, why do we have to do these meaningless things again?

It was under such circumstances that Zhuge Zhan returned to Chengdu.

Zhuge Zhan's return still gave everyone in Chengdu a shot in the arm.

Because of the praise of Zhong Hui and others, Zhuge Zhan's reputation in Shu at the moment is higher than before.

He came in a hurry, and the first thing he did was to meet Liu Chan.

Liu Chan finally had no beauties to accompany him, and there was finally no delicious food in front of him, so he sat on the top in a panic, and there were many guards standing at the door.

It's just that Huang Hao is still standing by his side.

When Zhuge Zhan strode in, Liu Chan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly stood up and walked quickly in his direction.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Zhan was just about to bow and greet him, when Liu Chan grabbed his arm and hurriedly helped him up.

"Siyuan, you're finally back!"

Liu Chan was indescribably annoyed at the moment.

I knew that Zhuge Zhan should have replaced Jiang Wei as soon as possible, and look at the current situation, if it weren't for Jiang Wei, would the situation have collapsed to this point?

The defeat of Shu in history is actually inseparable from Jiang Wei, who adjusted his defensive strategy before the war.

Jiang Wei borrowed from Wei's tactics against himself, and adjusted his defensive strategy to abandon the checkpoint when the enemy attacked, put important troops in the city, and the rest of the soldiers fought guerrilla attacks outside, so as to lengthen the opponent's supply line and consume the enemy's army.

It's called applying what you've learned.

But the problem is that the strategy that suits Wei may not necessarily suit Shu.

Wei didn't worry about food supplies at all, you followed the cat and the tiger, and took the initiative to abandon the checkpoints with favorable terrain, which made the Wei army's offensive much smoother

Liu Chan is really angry with Jiang Wei.

But Zhuge Zhan didn't care about this, he hurriedly asked about the battle situation.

Liu Chan asked Huang Hao to step forward and inform Zhuge Zhan of the general situation.

Although Huang Hao is a villain, his understanding of today's military situation seems to be more thorough than Dong Ju, and he is familiar with the situation in various places and the dilemma facing Shu now.

Wei copied from Liangfang, and needed to call in troops stationed further south to support.

Zhuge Zhan listened very carefully to Huang Hao's description of the situation.

"Your Majesty, the Sword Pavilion is the Xiongguan of the world, the general is guarding here with heavy troops, the Wei people have no way to break it, but Yong'an is here, it is in danger, and it is necessary to let the Wu State send troops to solve the trouble."

Zhuge Zhan said a few methods, although these ideas were not too subtle, but this was the first solution to the problem that Liu Chan had heard in these days.

Except for Zhuge Zhan, no one has ever said anything to Liu Chan, and Liu Chan has repeatedly asked them, but they can't say anything.

"Okay, okay, just do as you say!"

Liu Chan finally calmed down.

"I originally wanted you to replace Jiang Wei and sit in the Sword Pavilion, but when you say this, the most likely problem is Yong'an, and it's not good to change generals in battle, you better stay by my side, if any side loses, you can go to reinforcements in time."

Huang Hao, who was standing on the side, knew Liu Chan's thoughts very well, his majesty didn't want to replace Jiang Wei, he just didn't want Zhuge Zhan to leave too far.

This time, when Zhuge Zhan went to Jiangzhou to reinforce Yong'an, the emperor was frightened and restless all day long, even when he was playing, he would have a worried look.

Now that Zhuge Zhan has finally returned to Chengdu, he naturally will not let him leave easily.
