"Qing has met General Yang. He has heard about the general's talents. Today, Qing is lucky to meet him!"
Inside the mansion, Wei Qing had given Yang Su enough face.
First of all, Yang Su is indeed considered the number one person in this world. Baishui is in his hands and is guarded tightly. Otherwise, Wei Qing would not have used the method to persuade him to surrender.
Secondly, Yang Su finally sacrificed Baishui Pass and helped them capture many generals in the pass alive. People who have made great achievements must not be treated lightly even if they want to set an example.
Thirdly, this is his second-in-command father after all, so he must be given the face he deserves.
Speaking of which, this was not the first meeting between Yang Su and Wei Qing. During the previous siege battle, both sides had met each other from a distance. However, there was no effective communication.
Therefore, this time can be regarded as their first official meeting.
In this battle, Wei Qing achieved a complete victory. He killed Dongfang Bo and captured nearly 30,000 Shu troops alive. He also captured Jiufeng, Fu Jing, Deng Xian and other generals. Only Lu Guang, who realized something was wrong at the last moment, led the Eighth Route Army.
Thousands of troops fled Baishui Pass.
"I have long heard of the great governor's talents. I am lucky enough to meet him. The general who defeated the army is also lucky in his lifetime!"
Yang Su kept his attitude very low, saying bluntly that he was the defeated general, and did not pretend to be a hero at all.
In history, how many people thought they had made great achievements when they rebelled and were proud of their merits! The rebel generals would have been disliked by others, but they were also proud of their merits. How could these people end up well in the end? Xu You
, this is a relatively typical example.
And like Yang Su, keeping your tail between your legs is what a smart person should do!
"General Yang, I wonder how Jiangyou and Peicheng city defense are doing?" After a brief business exchange, Wei Qing took the initiative to order someone to take out a map and asked.
"Jiangyou, Peicheng?" Yang Su was confused at first hearing, these two places were still far away from them.
Even if Wei Qing's troops captured Baishui Pass, there are still Jiameng Pass, Jiange and other places ahead of them, followed by Jiangyou and Peicheng.
However, when he looked up in the direction Wei Qing pointed, Yang Su was immediately frightened and his face changed drastically, "You can't do it, Commander-in-Chief. If we go this way, the whole army will be wiped out!"
As a commander at the pinnacle of the world, Wei Qing clearly displayed the map in front of Yang Su. How could Yang Su not see what Wei Qing was thinking!
From the north to Chengdu, there are two plank roads, Micang Road and Jinniu Road, but both roads eventually converge at Jianmen Pass, so Jianmen Pass is a highway into Shu.
In addition to Jianmen Pass, there is a large continuous mountain in the west of Jianmen Pass, called Yinping Mountain. Although there are no major roads in the mountains, there are trails. The scary thing is that walking through Yinping Mountain is longer than walking through Jianmen Pass to Shu.
Shorter.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Deng Ai used this method to achieve unparalleled achievements!
Since Yinping is so important, didn't Zhuge Liang tell Jiang Wei to hold it?
The answer, of course, is to explain.
Zhuge Liang once said: The defense of the whole Shu should be in Yinping. Therefore, there are troops stationed in Yinping. There are two specific places, one is Qiaotou north of Yinping, probably near Yinping County. The other is in Yinping
To the south of Jiangyou, in this case, guarding both ends of Yinping Mountain is equivalent to guarding this mountain.
Of these two defensive points, Jiangyou is the most important. There is Fucheng to the south of Jiangyou, and Fucheng can directly reach Hanzhong and Jiangyou through waterways. After Jiang Wan became seriously ill, he stayed in Fucheng to command the overall situation. So if Jiangyou,
If something goes wrong, Fucheng's heavy troops can provide quick support to ensure that Yinping's defense is flawless.
However, Deng Ai and his team finally succeeded in a smooth attack. It can only be said that the team was too stretched and could not carry them! Jiang Wei's teammates behind him made various tricks.
Zhuge Zhan hesitated for a moment whether to defend the pass or the city. However, after such hesitation, Jiangyou Pass panicked. Jiangyou's guard general was called Ma Miao. Seeing that Wei troops were pressing on the border and the reinforcements from Peicheng were slow to come, he decided to
He led his army to surrender to Tian Zhang.
As soon as Jiangyou was lost, the Wei army entered the valley and plain areas like mercury pouring down the ground. Plain warfare was always the strength of the Wei army. As soon as the forward troops of both sides engaged in battle, the Shu army began to lose!
After that, Zhuge Zhan failed to guard the pass and instead launched a charge. It didn't matter if he died, which directly led to the loss of Mianzhu and Luocheng in the rear. Only then was Deng Ai beaten all the way to Chengdu.
However, as long as Jiang Wei's teammates were a little stronger, with Jiangyou, Peicheng, Mianzhu, and Luocheng surrounded by dangerous places, Deng Ai, who was weak and short of food, would be a dead end when he crossed the Motian Ridge!
After all, the direct route from Yinping to Shu is not what Shu Han just needs. Building one more road will only increase the pressure on its own defense. In this case, there is no need to maintain the Jinggu connecting Guangwu and Baishui, let alone
It is necessary to cross the Motian Ridge to build an official road. It will be more in line with the defense needs of the Shu Han to focus the entire defense line on one point at Baishui Pass.
And under such circumstances, this is why it is said that after crossing Motian Ridge, Deng Ai's army was definitely in a state of exhaustion and lack of food! As long as the four areas in front were defended for a few more days, Deng Ai could declare that they were gone, and there was no original path.
Possibility of return!
However, Yang Su did not think that the Liu Che Group would make the same low-level mistakes as the Liu Chan Group, so Yang Su tried his best to stop it at this time.
He had just surrendered, and his future and even that of his whole family depended on the Jin army. If Wei Qing tried to make some showy moves at this time, Yang Su, an old man like him, would not be able to bear the fright.
"Grand Governor, although Jiangyou has been in disrepair for a long time, this place is inherently difficult and dangerous. Moreover, Peicheng has been an important town in Shu since ancient times. With various defense facilities in place, it may be difficult to move down quickly!" Yang Su explained.
After all, Wei Qing is not as lucky as Deng Ai. The enemy in front is Jiang Wei, who is attacking with all his strength, and the rest, from Liu Chan to the generals, and all kinds of moths are taking turns.
The closer to Chengdu, the more Liu Che's cronies became, and Yang Su knew that although Xu Shiji had arrived in Jiangcheng before, after the remaining Jiaozhou reinforcements returned, they once again adjusted the defense system in various places in Shu!
In Yang Su's opinion, this road is no different from a dead end!
"General Yang, don't worry. Although Qing is determined to march here with 20,000 elite soldiers, he still has doubts and it is difficult to make a decision! Now that Duke Yang has said this, it will be difficult for him to have this intention!" Wei Qing explained with a smile!
Wei Qing, of course, also knew that marching from here would be a dead end! Even if the army passed by, it would still be a dead end if it failed to break through the city in half a month.
However, it is a dead end at this time, but after a while, it may not be a dead end!
