Zhonghui is short of food, and Jiange is also short of food.

Under Jiang Wei's urging, Chengdu continued to deliver the goods one after another.

But as a result, Zhuge Zhan's 50,000-strong army also had difficulty in providing food.

Among the 50,000 troops, there are only more than 16,000 who can really fight, and the rest are young and strong people who have been improvised.

However, important towns such as Mianzhu Pass and Fucheng are still in the hands of the Shu army.

The Liang army traveled across mountains and rivers, so it was not possible to fight for a long time. As long as Zhuge Zhan defended Fucheng or Mianzhu Pass, it would be fine.

It's not very difficult.

There is no need for so many people at all.

Jiang Wei resisted Zhong Hui's army of more than 100,000 but less than 40,000 at Jiange Pavilion, and the defense was flawless.

Therefore, the people of Shu did not pay too much attention to the Liang army, which was advancing alone.

The Liang army, which has less than 30,000 soldiers, wants to destroy the Han Dynasty. This is simply a big joke.

Zhong Hui's 120,000-strong army did not even capture Hanzhong, but only captured Yang'an Pass.

Zhuge Zhan was in a good mood. He had been familiar with military books since he was a child, and finally had a place to use them.

With the right time, right place, right people and the right people in hand, there is no reason why we cannot win.

"I heard that Du Yuankai is also a scholar. Among the generals in Liangzhou, except Yang Zheng, he is this person. I will kill Liangzhou this time!" This was the first time Zhuge Zhan led troops on an expedition, and he was praised too highly.

, so he thinks very highly of himself.

"Father, does he have any strategy to defeat the enemy?" Zhuge Shang was also infected by Zhuge Zhan's optimism.

"Huh, Du Yu sneaked 700 miles to Yinping in the wind and snow, and came over the mountains and ridges. He must be exhausted, so our army must fight quickly and not give it a chance to breathe!" Zhuge Zhan had already made a plan.

A 50,000-strong army faces a tired 30,000-strong army. The odds of victory are too great.

The Jingzhou faction has not been able to make a difference for so many years. As long as it wins this battle, Zhuge Zhan will be able to lead the Jingzhou scholars to rise again.

As the legitimate son of Zhuge Wuhou, this is Zhuge Zhan's natural mission.

Compared with the northwest, Shuzhong in the first month is really too warm.

Zhuge Zhan wore bright armor and a brocade robe, riding a Liangzhou horse, stepping on the spring soil, with infinite longing in his heart.

His father also faced such crises back then, and then turned the tide...

"No, General Wei!" At this time, a person directly interrupted Zhuge Zhan's beautiful vision.

Zhuge Zhan turned around and saw Huang Chong, a scholar from Yizhou, saying, "Oh? Why not?"

"Du Yu's military strategy was not as good as that of Lu Xun. In the Guanzhong battle, this man's 30,000 cavalry were able to easily defeat the 80,000 Wei army. He was also able to kill 20,000 Hebei cavalry and retreat calmly. The Liang army went deep alone, so it was advantageous to fight quickly.

!Our army only needs to occupy the dangerous points around Fu County. When the enemy's supplies are exhausted, we can naturally capture them in one battle. Why risk a decisive battle with them? If the disadvantages are unfavorable, Mianzhu Pass will not be protected, the Liang army will penetrate deep into the plains, and the Han Dynasty will be in danger!"

Huang Chong said a lot in one breath, completely ignoring Zhuge Zhan's increasingly darkened expression.

First of all, Huang Chong was a scholar from Yizhou, so there was a natural gap between him and Zhuge Zhan.

Secondly, Lu Xun is a hurdle in the hearts of Shu people.

Finally, if Du Yu is Lu Xun, then who is Zhuge Zhan...

Zhuge Zhan stared at Huang Chong coldly for a long time, making the surrounding atmosphere feel colder unconsciously.

The people sent by the Lord of Shu Liu Chan this time were also very strange. Only Zhuge Zhan and his son were scholars from Jingzhou, Huang Chong and Li Qiu (nephew of Li Hui) were scholars from Yizhou, and Zhang Zun was the son of Zhang Fei and a member of the Yuan Cong line.

, is also Liu Chan’s nephew.

Although the military power was given, as usual, they still restricted each other.

"An army of 50,000 cannot subdue 30,000 thieves. How can I see your majesty and the people of Chengdu?" Zhuge Zhan had a good upbringing since he was a child and did not get angry.

Huang Chong sighed, said nothing, and took the initiative to fall behind.

Zhuge Shang whispered: "Huang Chong's words are quite suitable for the situation, why don't father use them?"

Zhuge Zhan shook his head and said, "Jiang Wei's 40,000 troops are stationed at Jiange, and I have 50,000 troops to go to Mianzhu. Food and grass are scarce in Chengdu. If we cannot defeat Du Yu quickly, Chengdu will definitely be without supplies."

"Since there is no food and grass, why do we need 50,000 troops? Thousands of soldiers and horses can defend Mianzhu and Fucheng."

"No, Jiang Shu and Ma Miao have surrendered. Yang'an and Jiangyou have been lost. The country is in decline. A great victory is needed to boost morale, so I have to do this as a father. You and I, father and son, must take the lead in this battle. You must not

The reputation of our ancestors has been ruined!"

"The Liang thieves think that our country is weak, so I want them to see the bravery of the Han Dynasty!" Zhuge Shang tightened his grip on his long spear.

The army rushed to Fucheng with great momentum.

At this time, Du Yu also sent his troops southward.

Huang Chong urged again, "Liang people are good at fighting in the field. Now that we have a strong pass and a dangerous city, why should we engage in battle with the enemy? Even if we want to fight, we should first seize the territory."

Zhuge Zhan still didn't listen.

Zhuge Zhan sent his vanguard to attack the Liang army, but the Liang army took advantage of the terrain first, with Tian Zhang, Tian Xu, and Li Te as the vanguard. Less than an hour after the battle, the Shu army collapsed on its own. Many Shu people could not fight for a long time and did not want to.

After a hard fight, seeing that the Liang people were brave and the situation was not good, Chengdu Qingzhuang took the lead in fleeing, causing the stalemate to collapse and giving the Liang army an opportunity to advance.

For a moment, there was a storm.

The black tide flows over hills, rivers, woodlands...

The Shu army was invincible and could only flee.

Zhuge Zhan looked from the top of the city and saw Liang's army all over the mountains and plains, with overwhelming momentum. Zhuge Zhan had been raised in a beautiful land since he was a child, but had he ever seen such a murderous spirit? When he saw that the soldiers around him had no fighting spirit, he knew that he could not hold on, so he abandoned Fu.

City, retreat to Mianzhu.

The Liang army commanders drove straight in without stopping, and in three or four days they reached the foot of Mianzhu Pass.

Swords and guns fill the mountains and fields, and murderous aura moves in the sky.

Dark clouds rolled over the city, the sun shone coldly, and the roar was like thunder.

The Shu army at Mianzhu Pass was horrified.

Hundreds of powerful Liang warriors lined up at the pass with swords in hand, laughing at the fact that there is no one in Shu, Zhuge Wuhou's son is nothing!

Zhuge Zhan's face was as red as blood. Those who inherit fame will be burdened by fame. Zhuge Wuhou had a son when he was old. Zhuge Zhan was the proud son of heaven as soon as he was born, and countless people looked up to him.

To enter the officialdom is to ride as a captain, marry a princess, and become a Marquis of Wuxiang at a young age.

He has been smart since he was a child, but he has little experience and practice.

In his eyes, he would rather die in battle, lose Mianzhu Pass, and not allow Zhuge Wuhou's reputation to be tarnished in the slightest.

Seeing that the troops were discouraged, he still decided to fight, "My lord, I have received great favor from the Han Dynasty. Now the country is in danger, how can we fear death!"

Huang Chong advised with tears in his eyes, "Mianzhu Pass is the last barrier of the Han Dynasty. Chengdu is extremely empty, so why go to war?"

Zhuge Zhan was like a man possessed, "If you can't defeat the Liang bandits, the great Han will also perish!"

As soon as the word "destruction" was spoken, everyone around him was stunned.

Because he told everyone's secret.

The current situation in Shu is indeed not good.

After years of continuous fighting, the country has long been exhausted.

Jiang Wei gathered his troops in the valley and had no choice but to withdraw the Qinling garrison and defend the city.

Now, the Shu Kingdom has to support not only Jiang Wei's 40,000 troops, but also Zhuge Zhan's 50,000 troops. It has already reached its limit.

Not to mention that the Lord of Shu was still having fun with Huang Hao at this time and ignored state affairs.
