Chapter 303 Pressure(1/2)
Not only Jiang Wei wanted to drag Yang Zheng into trouble, Sima Fu and Deng Ai also had this intention.
Wuhan is located between Jincheng and Jishi Mountain, separated by the Yellow River.
It can also be regarded as the southeast gateway of Jincheng.
In mid-October, Sima Fu's military order came to Yunwu and ordered Yang Zheng to go south to besiege Jiang Wei!
Sima Fu had the authority to supervise the military affairs of Yongliang.
The so-called chastity means that in peacetime, people without official positions can be killed, and in wartime, officials with less than two thousand stones can be killed.
Foreign enemies have invaded, and now is naturally war time.
In addition, Sima Fu also has two identities. One is the Taiwei, the leader of the three princes of Cao Wei!
Secondly, he is the real mainstay of the Sima family!
Sima Fu was indispensable for Sima Shi's ability to successfully take over power from Sima Yi.
The pressure now shifts from Jiang Wei to Yang Zheng.
"Jiang Wei could have returned to Gansong from Taoyang, but he came to Wuhan anyway. His intention couldn't be more obvious." Meng Guan frowned.
"What's your intention?" They were all from Qingying, and Liu Heng was not formal.
Pang Qing is the lowest in the hierarchy. He only works and does not speak. He serves Yang Zheng like a servant.
"Provoke a conflict between us and the Sima clan." Zhang Te said.
"Jiang Wei probably felt that he still had the strength to fight, so he retreated unwillingly!" Yang Zheng said calmly.
The so-called allies are just people with shared interests and mutual use.
It would be foolish to expect too much from Jiang Wei.
There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests.
The situation has changed, and we may one day meet the Shu Kingdom in arms.
"Damn it! If the Shu thieves want to fight themselves, they can just fight them. Why do they force us to do anything?" Liu Heng said angrily.
Meng Guan chuckled and said: "Of course we have to pull us. If the general breaks with Sima Fu, he will have no choice but to defect to Shu."
Liu Heng shook his head like a rattle, "If you don't go, you won't go. If you carry someone else's bowl, you have to be controlled by others. I, Liu Heng, will never tolerate such cowardice."
Yang Zheng couldn't help but laugh, "Nonsense."
On the sand table, various forces are intertwined.
Hu Fen is in the north, Sima Fu and Deng Ai are in the south, extending to the east, and Guo Huai's power is in Tianshui.
Recently, Hu Ji, the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong in the Shu Kingdom, also sent out troops to support Jiang Wei.
As for Jiang Wei, he was originally trapped in Wucheng Mountain and was blocked by Deng Ai's set of civil engineering works. The Shu army also peeled off even though it was dead.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Di Li Jian surrendered to Shu at this time.
There is some kind of necessity hidden in the accident of history.
The strong inertia of history also hides many forgotten details.
A few years ago, during the crusade against Ye Wudai, Yang Zheng and Li Jian had an unpleasant relationship.
Xiahou Ba also told the details of this person, saying that he was a nail deliberately inserted into Longxi County by Guo Huai.
Unexpectedly, after a few years, this person would pop up again.
Yang Zheng suddenly thought, could it be Guo Huai who was behind this?
This is not the first time he has done this.
When Cao Shuang attacked Shu with hundreds of thousands of men, Guo Huai, who was the vanguard, turned around and ran away, causing Cao Shuang to fall into the trap.
There is no doubt that he was on Sima Yi's side back then.
But now, Sima Yi is dead.
One emperor and one courtier.
If Sima trusted Guo Huai, he would not have sent Sima Zhao first and then Sima Fu.
If Deng Ai and Sima Fu defeated Jiang Wei and captured themselves, then the pressure on Yongliang would be transferred to Guo Huai.
Guo Huai may be somewhat loyal to Cao Wei, but for the benefit of the Guo family, he will never set off a table and fight with Sima Shi...
"Then shall we go?" Liu Heng touched his disheveled head and asked in confusion.
Zhang Te, Meng Guan, and Pang Qing all turned their eyes to Yang Zheng.
"Go!" Yang Zheng spat out one word firmly.
If you don't go, you will be giving someone a hand.
If you go, you might be able to fish in troubled waters.
Yang Zheng did not believe that with the Shu army present, Sima Fu and Deng Ai had the guts to kill him first.
"Zi Chan, I'll leave the matter to you in the north!" Yang Zheng said to Zhang Te.
There is another group of troops to the north - Hu Fen.
In terms of military affairs, Yang Zheng never dared to underestimate Hu Fen, but without the guards and the bright swords and guns, Yang Zheng had more confidence in Zhang Te and his own soldiers.
Zhang Te bowed and cupped his hands: "General, don't worry!"
The Guards Camp and the Xiaoqi Camp followed Yang Zheng southward and went straight to Heguan.
The river pass hangs above the head of Wuhan, and it is also the most important ferry crossing at the head of the river.
As soon as Yang Zheng arrived, Sima Fu's military order came again, asking Yang Zheng to immediately send troops to attack Panhan.
Now that he is here, of course he is not afraid of Sima Fu trying to drive the tiger away and devour the wolf.
Anyway, Yang Zheng listened to the orders, but the result was not something ordinary people could predict.
"Zhou's decree, lead five thousand infantry to attack Wuhan at dawn tomorrow, and prepare more flags." Yang Zheng ordered.
"Wei!" Zhou Zhi answered with his hands raised.
Speaking of bluffing, Yang Zheng thought of Liu Heng and Five Hundred Gongs and Drummers.
The more you use this thing, the better it becomes.
"Liu Heng, you lead five hundred gongs and drummers to shout and shout on Beiyuan Mountain, and also plant flags."
It has to be said that Jiang Wei chose Panhan as the battlefield very wisely.
First, we arrived at the door of Yang Zheng's house.
Secondly, Yang Zheng served as the western captain in Wuhan for two years and knew the nearby geography well.
In these days, when you march and fight, you can basically gain an invincible position by mastering the geographical advantages.
Boss Liu Heng reluctantly accepted the order.
Although the attack was scheduled for tomorrow, Yang Zheng sent out a large number of scouts that night to monitor the situation around Panhan.
After this incident, Jiang Wei taught Yang Zheng a vivid lesson on how to get along with allies.
The next day, it was bright and clear, and the area around Wuhan was bustling with activity.
Beating gongs and drums, the atmosphere was full of smoke.
To the west, Zhou Zhi's battle was vigorous, coming and going, but except for dozens of horses killed in battle, there were no other casualties.
From the moment the "Yang" banner was raised, there was a tacit understanding between the two parties.
None of the uncontrollable weapons of mass destruction, such as crossbows and trebuchets, were taken out.
Only a dozen unlucky ones got so excited when climbing the long ladder that they fell and broke their legs.
There were also more than a hundred people who received a few symbolic blows, their arms and thighs were cut, and some blood was smeared on the city wall...
In the words of Zhou Zhi, our army attacked the city wall three times, but the enemy's resistance was extremely fierce and drove our army off the city wall three times.
The gongs and drums were beaten on the northern plateau, and the roars shook the sky, adding a sense of rhythm to the siege.
There were also cavalry rushing back and forth to the north and west, taking shelter from the smoke and dust.
Besieging the scouts sent to the west by Sima Fu...
At first, Sima Fu sent people to inquire about the situation of the war and urge the dispatch of troops, but later no one came, as if Yang Zheng was asked to perform on his own.
There has been a lot of commotion for a day, but there has been no substantial progress.
Yang Zheng felt that the matter was almost done, so he handed over the task to Sima Fu.
The general meaning is that it's not that our army doesn't work hard, but that the enemy is too cunning...
That night, Sima Fu's envoy came again. At first glance, the envoy was green-headed and arrogant, and said, "Yang Zheng listened to the order and asked you to come to the Dongying tent before midnight tomorrow to meet up. No one is allowed."
If there is a mistake, if you disobey the order, beheaded!"
