On August 11, 263 AD, Mr. Liu Chan, the leader of Shu Han, prayed very devoutly for five days, the wizard gave the instructions of the "God": the pseudo-Wei will not invade within ten years.

Of course, the geniuses will never give a single answer to their employers for their own wealth and life. Therefore, the wizard also said: If the pseudo-Wei attacks, the entire army will inevitably be destroyed.

Mr. Liu Chan, who received such an "oracle", was satisfied and ended his retreat with a refreshed spirit, and returned to the world.

Of course, what greeted him was definitely not the good news of "the masts and oars to ashes", but a blow!

"Your Majesty! The pseudo-Wei launched an army of 180,000 and attacked in three ways. The Wudu, Yinping and Hanzhong counties in the north of our Han Dynasty, are in a hurry!"

"ah?!"

After a brief panic, Liu Chan suddenly remembered something: "Hahaha, God had a premonition. If the pseudo-Wei didn't come, it would be that the whole army would be wiped out!"

Big...Brother, where do you get your confidence?

"Your Majesty!" Mi Zhao took a heavy step in the court: "Your Majesty! This time the pseudo-Wei came to seek the capital for usurpation of the throne for the Sima family. His determination is definitely not comparable to Cao Zhen in the past, and Cao Shuang's invasion. Now the 30,000 troops of the general are hanging in the distant trough, and the real strategic location of Hanzhong has less than 15,000 troops. The current situation is dangerous... Please send troops as soon as possible to support the general and the Hanzhong defenders!"

"Well, General Wei, do you have any objection?" After scanning the entire court, Liu Chan pointed Zhuge Zhan's name.

"Your Majesty, I think that at this time the puppet Wei had just sent troops and his morale was strong. Our army should not face the front. We ordered the cities in Hanzhong to strengthen the walls and clear the fields to shave their strength. At the same time, we ordered the general to return from Dazhong and sit in Yang'an Pass to ensure that there is no danger in Hanzhong. As for the CD's troops, some of them can be mobilized first, but there is no need to rush to send troops."

"Zhuge Siyuan. Do you know what you are talking about? The 180,000 army of the pseudo-Wei! At this time, my great man not only wanted to drive the CD's army north, but also mobilize the corpses from Yong'an, Fuling and Nanzhong to move closer to the CD..."

"Hahaha, Tiger Cavalry Superintendent, you are an expert in doing business. But this war is really not good. At this time, the enemy's morale is like a rainbow. If we invest all our main forces in Hanzhong at this time, wouldn't we have to break out in a decisive battle ahead of time? Even if we win such a decisive battle, our great man will be greatly damaged! At that time, the Eastern Wu will definitely be against the alliance, and the Southern Zhong will rebel again! If such a situation occurs, our great man will be in danger!"

I have to say that what Zhuge Zhan said makes sense. With the continuous decline of Shu Han's national strength over the years, it really requires great determination and great risks to mobilize the elite of the whole country.

Therefore, after Mr. Liu Chan left the pass, the first round of orders issued by the Shu Han court against Cao Wei was:

First, Hanzhong cities cannot stand firm, and rely on the strong cities to consume the enemy's spirit. Wudu, Yinping strategically gave up - these two counties had no population at all. Moreover, due to geographical reasons, as long as Hanzhong is in hand, it will be easy for Shu Han to get it back after the Cao Wei army retreats.

Second, General Jiang Wei's mobile corps immediately returned from Dazhongdong and entered Yang'an Pass to defend.

Third, change the year name.

That’s right, it’s just changing the year name. From now on, the year name of Shu Han has been changed from the sixth year of Jingyao to the first year of Yanxing.

Compared with Qin's water virtue, the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang has always been fire virtue. So Yanxing is the revival of the Han Dynasty. But... well, is this a good wish?

In addition, the Shu Han court did not have any further instructions. Mr. Liu Chan's request to lead troops north from Guan Yi in Fuling, Yan Yu in Yong'an, Huoge in Nanzhong and other local generals, would not be allowed - they would stay in various places. This attack by the pseudo-Wei is no big deal. Look at your boss, I will change the year name and scare them to death...

At the same time, in the northwest corner of the Shu Han territory, Yinping County, and Dazhong.

This is located on the northern foot of the Minshan Mountains that moves to the Sichuan Basin by the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Like many inter-mountain basins inside the Qinling Mountains, there are also many basins with gentle terrain inside the Minshan Mountains. And Dazhong is such an inter-mountain basin with a wide area, fertile soil, and is extremely suitable for cultivation.

Jiang Wei, the general of Shu Han, came here for farming for five years, and within one year, he had cultivated 400,000 acres of wheat fields. After planting the first season of winter wheat in autumn last year, the harvest season of wind blowing wheat waves has arrived in the summer of this year.

According to common sense, the harvest season for winter wheat is usually in late June every year. However, since it is the edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the altitude is relatively high, the harvest season here is a little more than a month later. It is this more than a month that has led to the delay in the operation of Jiang Wei's Corps.

"General! Our army's scouts stationed in the northwest of the basin came to report that they had discovered the vanguard troops of the pseudo-Wei 80 miles away. Judging from the flag, it should be Yang Xin, the prefect of Jincheng, the pseudo-Wei."

"I understand, let's explore again!"

"Here!"

After sending the scout away, Jiang Wei looked at the map with a heavy expression: "In the direction of Gan Song, Yang Xin. Our army is north, Wang Qi. The banner of Qian Hong was found in the northeast direction... The three routes came together, but where was Deng Shizai?"

There are not many people in the hall, but there are still a few. But there are really not many people who can answer Jiang Wei's words.

Let’s take a look at Jiang Wei’s current team: Guardian Liu Min, this is a person of the same age as Wang Ping, who is now seventy years old. Lai Zhong, who joined the army, is almost seventy years old. Next are the cavalry commander Zhao Tong, Ya goalkeeper Zhao Guang and others. They are also middle-aged and elderly people in their forties and fifties. Going further down, there will be no one!

No one answered. Jiang Wei did not ask again. Instead, he spread his right hand and opened the small note that was almost ruined by him: Deng Shizai followed the general, and Zhuge Xu intercepted him on the head. The general returned east quickly! Yi.

This was delivered to Jiang Wei by the Mi Family Store in Hanzhong half a month ago. Relying on the advantages of the time traveler, Guan Yi told Jiang Wei very clearly what difficulties he would face: Deng Ai’s mission this time is not to fight directly with you, but to follow you. As long as the battle situation in Hanzhong is tight, you must lead the army to the east. At that time, you have a tail behind you and an enemy in front of you blocked it head-on. What should you do? So, you should go back to Hanzhong as soon as possible while Deng Ai has not followed.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wei, who was scared of poverty, was indeed as Deng Ai expected. He dragged on until the wheat in Dazhong matured before he began to consider the issue of returning to Hanzhong.

"Zicheng (Lai Zhong), our army's wheat fields have been harvested, right?"

"There are more than 30,000 acres of wheat fields scattered on the hills that have not been harvested. The remaining wheat fields on the flat ground have been harvested and put into storage."

"Oh~~~ I made a mistake. All the 30,000 acres of wheat fields were burned down. The entire army was ordered to prepare their luggage. Two days later, our entire army would return east!"

"Here!"

...

On August 11, 263 AD, Jiang Wei's troops began to set off from Dazhong and march towards Hanzhong County.

But Dazhong, as the northwest corner of the territory of Shu Han, is really too remote.

Here is 280 kilometers away from Yang'an Pass at the bottom of Hanzhong and 260 kilometers away from the bridgehead of the major traffic arteries - this is all about straight-line distance. In fact, under the extremely backward road conditions at that time, the journey of Jiang Wei's army to return east was at least more than 600 kilometers! Without twenty days, Jiang Wei's army could not reach Yang'an Pass at all.

And twenty days are just the theoretical value of everything going well. In fact, this is simply impossible.

Because on this day, the main force of Deng Ai's army stationed in Didao also began to move south.
Chapter completed!
