"Prime Minister! Jiangzhou Li Feng rebellion! Bring the soldiers of Jiangzhou to rebel and make trouble! ”

This urgent letter was quickly whipped and rushed all the way from Baochuan Road to Zhuge Liang. The content in it is very scary, and it is very likely to affect the entire Shu land.

Li Feng of Jiangzhou is reversed!

Although it has been winning battles in recent years, the Shu army has successively broken through the Wuling counties of Longyou. Relying on the newly acquired population and resources, the Shu army has expanded its strength a lot, but the total amount is still not much.

The total number of troops is only more than 100,000, and most of them are troops responsible for guarding the border passes. There are only 70,000 or 80,000 that can really be used for mobile warfare.

In this year, the Wei army dispatched the entire Northwest Army and launched a comprehensive attack on Shu. This made the Shu Han side have to send all their troops to resist, and transfer all the available troops in Shu to the north.

As a result, the land of Shu was empty, and the number of troops from Chengdu to Hanshou was even less than 10,000.

And at this time, the last potentially threatening bomb in Shu exploded.

Li Yan's son, Li Feng rebelled.

Jiangzhou has been run by two generations of Li Yan and Li Feng for more than ten years, and the internal clans are all of the same heart as the Li family. Although Zhuge Liang had been wary of him before going north, he was not fully prepared because he was in too haste.

They suddenly rebelled and pulled up tens of thousands of horses in Jiangzhou in a very short time. Because of the emptiness of the army in Shu, Li Feng's rebels quickly raged in Shu.

By the time the urgent letter was delivered to Zhuge Liang, Li Feng's rebels had already reached Guanghan County, not far from Mianzhu, the gateway to Chengdu.

The rear was suddenly in an emergency, which made Zhuge Liang, who had always been steady, a little nervous. However, while being nervous, Zhuge Liang also found that something was wrong.

Li Feng knows that he belongs to a straw bag who is greedy for life and afraid of death. After Li Yan was killed, the reason why Zhuge Liang did not liquidate Li Feng was because of this.

A waste with no ability and no guts, he basically didn't dare to make any moves when he put it there. Theoretically, even if he rebelled, he shouldn't have made such a big move.

What's more, even if Li Feng wants to rebel, shouldn't he rebel when the local faction gives it a go and the Shu thieves rise? As a result, now that all the opposition forces in Shuzhong have been uprooted before rebelling, what is the point of this?

Does he still want to rely on that little bit of people in Jiangzhou to defeat Chengdu?

But the reality is that Li Feng has reversed at this point in time that is most not in his interests. This abnormal behavior made Zhuge Liang think of something.

"I'm afraid that someone behind is instigating and planning to force my army to return to defense?" Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and quickly figured it all out.

What Li Feng is doing now has no other effect than forcing him Zhuge Liang to withdraw his troops and return for reinforcements.

From this point is a reverse extrapolation, it is obvious that there must be Cao Wei's people behind it.

"Prime Minister! What are we going to do? Continue to fight......" Du Wei Jufu also saw all this, and asked with some hesitation.

"Naturally, the army has withdrawn, there are rebellions in Shu, what reason do we have to continue the Northern Expedition? Where is this putting Your Majesty's safety at risk? Zhuge Liang shook his head lightly and made a decision very quickly.

No matter what you say, he is a minister, and everything must be done first by His Majesty. Even if Li Feng is basically impossible to threaten Chengdu now, he must withdraw his troops and go back.

The political significance of this is much higher than the military significance, and the planners obviously grasped this point before doing so.

And the most important thing is, what will the Dongwu ally in the east, who has always slept with them, do at this time?

You must know that our Dongwu has an amazing talent in backstabbing. The ghost knows if the Wuling defense line will be the same as Jiangling, hooked up by Dongwu for a while, and then take advantage of the situation to kill Shudi.

The more I think about it, the more scared I become, so hurry up and withdraw the troops!

"But this also gave me a reason to withdraw the army, and Liang Zheng was worried that there was no reason to withdraw the army." After making the decision, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, and he didn't regret anything too much.

This time, there was no plan for the ramp itself, and it was one of the few times Zhuge Liang sent troops to the Northern Expedition without a good plan. Not only did it not fail, but it also took such a big advantage, it should have been satisfied.

In particular, this battle basically crippled Cao Wei's Guanzhong Theater, and the morale of hundreds of thousands of Wei troops collapsed. The army suffered serious losses, and countless grain and straw were depleted, and the Cao Wei Guanzhong area would not be able to exert any strength for at least five years.

Waiting for the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou next year, the entire Longyou side will hardly be threatened. Even after fighting Liangzhou, Zhuge Liang may still have surplus grain to go east to Yongzhou.

Speaking of which, the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou .........

Thinking of the person who Cao Wei supervised the military in Liangzhou in recent years, Zhuge Liang's expression became a little more serious.

Judging from all kinds of intelligence, Sima Yi is a great talent whose ability is not weaker than his. Although Guanzhong was abolished, Liangzhou was no longer so easy to fight.

Next year's Northern Expedition, I'm afraid it won't end so easily!

"Send someone to find Youchang and tell him to withdraw the army, we are going back to Shu to suppress the rebellion. By the way, tell him that if he still doesn't leave, he will be responsible for staying in Shuzhong during the Northern Expedition to Liangzhou next year! ”

"Yui!"

…………

After leading 20,000 troops north for three months, the Shu army, which had made a lot of gains, officially began to withdraw.

Although this battle did not occupy an inch of land in Guanzhong, it had already made Cao Zhen's business for several years come to an end. Although there were 100,000 soldiers, they had no power to attack for several years.

Zhuge Liang sent someone to call Ma Jian back, but the old horse was not very happy at first. But after learning that in half a year at most, the Shu army was going to go north to Liangzhou to fight with Sima Yi, and immediately returned with troops.

When he came back, Ma Tan introduced all the wealthy families in Guanzhong to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang placed all of them in Longyou, and selected more than 100 virtuous and filial piety people, and the treatment was extremely generous.

This is not only to provide an example for the wealthy clan in Guanzhong, but the most important thing is that they brought the most lacking information in Guanzhong.

What is most lacking in Shu is the specific information and needs of Guanzhong. As long as he understands clearly, Shu Han can prescribe the right medicine.

Since then, this battle, which can be recorded in the history books as the Second Northern Expedition of Shu Han, has come to an end.

In this battle, the Wei army dispatched 200,000 soldiers and horses, divided into four armies to attack Shu Han. As a result, a large amount of grain and grass were wasted, and tens of thousands of soldiers were lost, but in exchange for the end of the broken Guanzhong and the centrifugal in the northwest.

Even the Qianghu people began to have less respect for Cao Wei, and looked at this big brother with greedy eyes.

However, when the news reached Luoyang, Cao Rui was indeed surprisingly calm, and seemed to have been mentally prepared. In the face of the comprehensive erosion of the situation in the northwest, Cao Zhen asked to be removed from his official position to apologize, but Cao Rui did not say much.

After all, after so many times, Cao Rui is almost used to it......

There may only be two chapters left, and Shuzhong is starting to hammer today......
