A god-level commander like Wei Qing never considers the gains and losses of a city or a place, but considers the entire battle situation!
They were not the only ones who entered Shu. Li Jing, Wu Qi, and Wei Qing would all consider it!
It is precisely because of this that, in the eyes of others, it may be a dead end, but in his eyes, when the time comes, it may be a way of survival!
If Wu Qi had conquered Badi, there would be no need for this army to join Li Jing and they could just go straight to Chengdu along the Peijiang River.
But Wu Qi marched along this area, and Peicheng was the first to bear the brunt. The location of Fucheng was very important. Once the Jiange line could no longer withstand the attack, he would have to pass through Fucheng before entering Chengdu.
Therefore, if Wu Qi's army appears here in Peicheng, Jiangyou and Mianzhu's soldiers will more or less support Peicheng. At this time, Wei Qing is ready to take the Yinping Trail to cross the Motian Ridge.
Jiangyou's soldiers are not many in the first place. If they are mobilized again, they can defeat them in one battle with a sneak attack. After that, the army rushes towards Peicheng, and they attack Peicheng from both sides with Wu Qi's soldiers. They jointly attack Peicheng and seal off Zhou Yafu's army.
With the troops retreating, they can formally pounce south towards Chengdu.
Of course, Wei Qing did not tell the generals about the calculation in his mind. It was not that he did not believe them, but the more dangerous the plan, the more cautious it was.
As Baishui Pass was about to be lowered, Wei Qing ordered the entire army to rest for three days, and then he was ready to continue sending troops!
The battle to defeat Shu has not yet been completed, and Wei Qing and the others are making the slowest progress along the way, and they are far from the time to slack off.
"Deputy Governor Yang!" Wei Qing pointed at the general.
"The general is here!" Yang Xuangan marched out proudly!
Although he has such a great achievement as Baishui Pass, Yang Xuangan will never despise having more merit. Only when he has the opportunity to fight can he make military achievements, so he will not let it go!
"I order you to lead an army of 40,000 to garrison Baishui Pass! Guard the prisoners and ensure the army's retreat! Gao Jun, Ding Yanping, and Qiu Rui will follow your orders under your tent!"
"What!" Yang Xuangan and the generals were all confused.
Yang Xuangan was confused. That was because he thought that what he would get next would be an opportunity to fight, but he did not expect that it would be a stay-at-home mission.
The rest of the generals were confused because they couldn't figure out the intention of Wei Qing's order.
After all, there is no need for them to leave 40,000 troops to guard Baishui Pass, 20,000 or even 10,000 would be enough!
As for guarding the prisoners, although this is important, it will be a huge trouble if there is chaos among the 30,000 prisoners. However, even so, there is still no need to leave an army of 40,000!
Moreover, Wei Qing's army originally had 150,000 troops, but in the previous battle, nearly 30,000 fell at Baishui Pass. Now Wei Qing once again divided four troops to stay at Baishui Pass. Wei Qing's hands can be
Only 80,000 troops and horses are left.
Among the people, only Gao Jiong was relatively sober. Only he knew why Wei Qing left so many troops in Baishui Pass. When the time came, he was also responsible for telling Yang Xuangan the rest of his plan.
The reason why Wei Qing left Yang Xuangan to implement this plan was not because Yang Xuangan himself was valued more, but his father Yang Su.
After all, Yang Su has been in Bashu for several years, and he knows the land of Bashu better than outsiders. What's more, among all the generals under him, no one can lead troops in battle.
It's comparable to Yang Su.
However, it was impossible for Wei Qing to directly hand over such an important task to Yang Su. On the one hand, Yang Su had just surrendered. On the other hand, Yang Su had previously stated that although he was demoted to Jin, he was not willing to be an enemy of his old master.
.
Under this situation, if Wei Qing wanted to make good use of Yang Su as a wage earner, he would need to put more thought into it. Therefore, Wei Qing decided to start with Yang Xuangan.
This plan is a dangerous one. If anything goes wrong in the process, the 20,000 elite soldiers led by Yang Xuangan will be completely wiped out without the logistical support of food and grass.
And how could Yang Su let his only son fall into danger?
At the same time, Wei Qing left Gao Jun behind again, which was also to send another person to watch over this old guy Yang Su to prevent any further accidents. And there is only one Gao Jun here who can watch over this old guy Yang Su.
Damn it!
"General Ashu, lead five thousand soldiers and horses ahead and enter the Maming Pavilion Road! Force Jiameng Pass! Assist Governor Li Jing to enter Guancheng!" Wei Qing ordered again.
Although the danger of Guancheng Pass is not as good as that of Yangping Pass, it is not much different!
And Zhou Yafu's talent is not much worse than that of Dai Tuo!
Xiliu Camp, trained by Zhou Yafu himself, became another elite of the Shu army.
Among the Shu army, the elite cavalry should push the white robes, while the elite navy should push the brocade sails, but among the elite infantry, Zhou Yafu's Xiliu camp is second to none.
However, Li Jing was able to capture Yangping Pass, but he may not be able to capture Guancheng in the same way.
It is impossible to win all wars with tragic casualties. It can be fought once or twice, but if it happens like this every time, let alone how many battles are fought like this, how many soldiers will be left. Just one more time.
, the soldiers will be tired of war, and this battle will be even more difficult to fight.
Therefore, Yangpingguan's method of building a stronghold will never be repeated in a short period of time.
However, although Li Jing wanted to play some high-tech tricks, Zhou Yafu was a pure turtle this time. After retracting into the shell, no matter how tempting he was, the turtle's head refused to stick out again!
However, from the moment Wei Qing captured Baishui Pass, it also meant that Guancheng was about to collapse.
Once Baishui Pass is broken, as long as you cross Maming Pavilion Road, the next step is Jiameng Pass, and after Guancheng, it is also Jiameng Pass.
This situation has resulted in that once something goes wrong at Jiameng Pass, Zhou Yafu's army in Guancheng will be trapped there. There is no need to send troops to fight. They will send troops to block it for several months, waiting for Zhou Yafu's food and grass to arrive.
At the end of the day, Zhou Yafu's army in Guancheng will be dead!
Although Mamingge Road also has defensive fortresses such as Guangshi Fortress, among the important roads in Bashu, Mamingge Road is considered easy to walk. At least, it is much easier to walk than Jiange Road after Jiameng Pass!
How long can these small fortresses hold back Wei Qing's army? After all, even strong passes like Baishui Pass are gone!
Therefore, Zhou Yafu probably would not take too big a risk, but chose to abandon Guancheng and retreat to Jiameng Pass. With the current situation of the Shu army, Zhou Yafu could not afford to take such a risk.
