Regarding the people in the Shu army that Zhao Kang mentioned, Yang Wangqing naturally understood what he meant. However, he did not agree, but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, although General Qin has cooperated with a play.
, but it is impossible to use the other party.”
"But, sir, don't worry too much. Tell you, in fact, the king has heard of the situation here for a long time. Therefore, there are corresponding solutions. The king has sent someone to contact the Han army in Jingzhou east to form an alliance with it.
We jointly conquer the Shu army. Therefore, the Han army is afraid that this time, we have begun to take action against Wuling Prefecture."
"If King Situ Che of Shu learned that the Zhao army in Liangzhou in the north was intending to go south, and the Han army in the east also began to attack him, I was afraid that Situ Che would be stubborn and would have to consider the consequences of continuing to be hostile to us. Therefore,
It won’t take long before the Shu army in the south will evacuate. So, sirs, please put your heart in your stomach.”
"The Han army also wants to take action against the Shu army?" Zhao Kang was stunned and immediately said happily, "That's right, this Hanzhong area was originally under the jurisdiction of the Han army. It was raided by the Shu army, causing the Han army to lose its troops and generals, and also lost Hanzhong.
In most areas, it would be strange if the Hanzhong King was not angry with the Shu army. It would be normal for the Han army to take advantage of our battle with the Shu army. If the Han army participates, it would be inevitable that the Shu army will withdraw.
thing."
Chengdu Prefecture, the core area of the Shu Army, Shu Prince's Prefecture.[
Faced with the full range of fine wine and delicacies, King Situ Che of Shu didn't have much appetite. This time the Shu army counterattacked the Zhao army in Hanzhong, which was what he insisted on. He originally thought that this counterattack against the Zhao army would definitely achieve good results.
The result was, but unfortunately, the front-line war was extremely unsuccessful, and it was not as he had expected.
It has been more than ten days since the Shu army headed north and started to fight back. It is almost time to get close to the last time the Shu army and the Han army fought. However, the result disappointed him extremely. The Shu army has been wandering in southern Han and has never been able to enter.
In Hanzhong, no team of Zhao's army had been officially defeated, and no city in Hanzhong had been captured.
The current situation in Hanzhong made Situ Che unable to raise any appetite for food. After all, he did this war deliberately. If there was no result, he would feel the light on his face. Especially as time goes by,
The logistics problems in Yizhou also had serious consequences. Like the Zhao army in Hanzhong, there was a shortage of logistics food and grass problems.
"The army of Jiaozhou and Ningzhou have also begun to enter the military reform in the past ten days. Because the central officials and the generals have agreed, the Zuo Cheng in charge of the matter, so,
The garrison generals and schoolmen have no meaning. For ordinary soldiers, this matter is beneficial to them, so they all very welcome the military restructuring. After the restructuring, the morale among the army in various places has increased."
While eating, Situ Che listened to the officials of the royal family reporting various affairs. Hearing that the reform of the Shu army in the territory was carried out smoothly, Situ Che's mood finally improved a little, and a little proud appeared on the corner of his mouth. This was for him to strengthen it.
It is deliberate to control the army and can proceed smoothly. It has an important impact on the army and on him, so Situ Che seemed particularly satisfied. When he thought of his defeat in the war situation in Hanzhong, the general's power was further tightened.
Holding it in his hand, he will have an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
Hearing this, Situ Che's mood improved and his appetite improved. He picked up the chopsticks and was about to take a few bites. At this moment, the personal army came to report that it was the right chief Li Mingzhan who asked for an urgent visit.
Li Mingzhan was his confidant, so Situ Che did not take it seriously, and just passed it in according to the command. After a while, Li Mingzhan hurried in and bowed and said, "Report to the King, the northern part of Yizhou to report urgently, Dingbei
General He Qingzhang died on the spot after the Zhao army's plan in Yangpingguan. Yangpingguan had fallen into the hands of the Zhao army. In addition, the Zhao army in Liangzhou had approached the line of Yangpingguan, which was intended to go south."
"What?...what did you say?" Situ Che asked anxiously in surprise.
Li Mingzhan hurriedly said the information aside. Judging from Li Mingzhan's expression, this information also surprised and unacceptable. After Li Mingzhan finished speaking, he fell into a dead silence in the study.
Situ Che sat there frozen, with a strong sense of surprise and surprise surging on his face with no expression. After a while, Situ Che murmured to himself: "How could Yangping Pass be captured by Zhao's army? It's not my Yizhou No. 1
Is it dangerous to pass? He Qingzhang, who is stationed here, repeatedly guaranteed that the Zhao army would not break through there, and I am still planning to enter Hanzhong from there in the future... But, now... how can we break through the Zhao army? It's impossible.
…” Situ Che was shocked, looking lost at this moment.
As a western member of Hanzhong, how could Situ Che not know? The reason why he did not take action here and attack Hanzhong was because the army went to fight was in short supply like the Zhao army. Even the counterattack in southern Hanzhong
The action was just to drag down the Zhao army in Hanzhong, and did not really fight the Zhao army to the death. In Situ Che's heart, Yangping Pass was the passage for the army to enter Hanzhong in the future. But now, before the future, it has already been
It was taken away by Zhao Jun.
"What exactly did He Qingzhang do? Didn't he tell me confidently that he can guarantee that Yangping Pass will not be lost? But now? Not only is Yangping Pass lost, but his head is gone." Situ
Che roared angrily. Yangpingguan was the core of his next action. In his plan, this counterattack against the Zhao army in Hanzhong this time must first cause problems within the Han army and Zhao army. The worst thing is that Han is to be too
The military law is stable. Then when the Shu army came back to its senses, it was conducting another conquest. The next time the Shu army attacked, two groups were launched together, and the Yangping Pass line was the key place. However, with the loss of this place now
, All this has become empty talk.
"King, it's not the time to pursue these things, but the situation where the Shu army in Liangzhou went south. General He Qingzhang's loss of Yangping Pass is also related to the Zhao army in Liangzhou's southward journey. If it were the Zhao army in Hanzhong alone, it would definitely be successful." Li
Mingzhan said anxiously, "But now that Liangzhou's Zhao army is heading south, there is a crisis in northern Hanzhong. The Zhao army in Liangzhou is not short of food and supplies."
Situ Che said coldly: "What's the panic? The Zhao army in Liangzhou is indeed not short of food and supplies, but can they support Hanzhong? Even if they go south, they will not attack. The terrain in the north of Yizhou has been restricted.
The troops they operated."
Li Mingzhan said in a deep voice: "King, even if that is the case, even a small team of people can raid the city checkpoints of prefectures and counties in the northern part of Yizhou. Now our troops are hiding in the northeast of Yizhou, but for Yizhou
The defenses in the northwest are often slack. If the Zhao army in Liangzhou took this opportunity to move forward slowly and raid the cities along the way. Then, the natural danger in northern Yizhou will become the main way for the Zhao army to go south."
"Especially, our food and grass supplies are also in difficulties now. If this continues, the food and grass supplies needed by the troops in northern Yizhou will not be able to be supplied. By then, the defenders in northern Yizhou will be unable to withstand the cold going south.
Zhao Jun.”
Situ Che looked at Li Mingzhan, and couldn't help feeling depressed and said coldly: "What do you mean is that I want me to withdraw the army in southern Hanzhong immediately?"
Li Mingzhan did not care about Situ Che's gloomy expression at all, and said in a deep voice: "King, it has been nearly half a month since this counterattack, but we have not made any progress. Instead, we consume a lot of food and supplies here.
Although it is more convenient for us to transport food and grass materials than Zhao's army, we are farther away from the transportation of food and grass materials than Zhao's army. Moreover, we are still collecting food locally at this moment. If we continue like this, we will not get the benefits, but we will end up with Zhao.
Like the army, it will lead to a lack of food in the army."
"In addition, the troops in the northern part of Yizhou may also be implicated. If Liangzhou immediately goes south and we need support, we will have many difficulties. I am foolish about withdrawing the army first, rest and wait for a long time.
After the military reform is completed and the food and supplies are sufficient, another conquest will be carried out."[
Situ Che said in a narrow voice: "Don't mention this matter again. Our situation is not good. What about the Zhao army in Hanzhong? Isn't their situation even worse? You must know that we have the support of the entire Yizhou and Ningzhou, and food and supplies.
Even if it is difficult now, there will never be situations like the Zhao army, where the local unstable and food are cut off. Therefore, the longer we confront the Zhao army and the more intense the battle, the worse the situation in Hanzhong will be.
”
"What would happen if we withdraw our troops now? It would allow the Zhao army to get support from Yongzhou immediately, and would allow Hanzhong to quickly calm down, and would cause tens of thousands of troops to suffer for more than ten days. But as long as we support it, then, Hanzhong Zhao
The army must insist on law. Even if our army wants to retreat, we must wait until the situation in Hanzhong reaches an uncontrollable level."
"As for the Zhao army in Liangzhou, do you think the Zhao army in Liangzhou will really go south immediately? Do you think the steep terrain in northern Yizhou and the dangerous passes in various places are so easy to be broken by the Zhao army? Also, since the Zhao army in Liangzhou is,
Why do everyone know that the army is going south? Even we already know? Don’t they know that the silent southward will have unexpected effects? The Zhao army in Liangzhou went south to attack the northern part of Yizhou, but it was not on any plain.
If two armies want to fight, the greater the momentum, the better. Here, the more unexpected it is, the more it can achieve great results."
"But you know the news that the Zhao army in Liangzhou is going to take action. Are they not afraid that we will step up our defenses in various places? Is the Zhao army arrogant enough to use soldiers to fill in those dangerous cities? By the way, yours
Where did you get the news?”
Li Mingzhan was slightly stunned by Situ Che's scolding. I have to say that what Situ Che said at this time was quite reasonable. Hearing Situ Che's inquiry, Li Mingzhan said in a deep voice: "It's from Hanzhong."
The detailed work was reported, it is said that it was circulated by officials in Hanzhong City."
After hearing Li Mingzhan's answer, Situ Che sneered: "Hmph... the officials of Hanzhong City? When did the actions of the Zhao army in Liangzhou have even known about the officials of Hanzhong City, and it is spread everywhere?
Tell me that our detailed work has reached the point of entering the Zhao army center in Hanzhong City. Don’t tell me that even a minor official in Hanzhong City can understand such a major military event."
"...This..." Li Mingzhan was speechless. What Situ Che said was not unreasonable, which made Li Mingzhan refute. However, he did not want tens of thousands of Shu troops to continue to be stalemate with the Zhao army in southern Hanzhong.
Consumption of a large amount of food and grass supplies, but the results were not obtained. Moreover, the Yizhou treasury began to become tense, which put Li Mingzhan under great pressure. The Youcheng was not so easy to do. The local government reported the food and grass every day
The report on the baggage issue has already made him feel like a big blow.
Just then, the personal army came to report that the left chief Lin Shiwen had an urgent matter to ask for a meeting.
"Lin Shiwen? Are he with you?" Hearing the personal army's report, Situ Che couldn't help but frown and looked at Li Mingzhan beside him.
Li Mingzhan shook his head in surprise and said in a deep voice: "No, I don't know that Zuo Cheng will come. However, I think that Zuo Cheng will definitely report important things to you when you come. Otherwise, you won't be here.
The king came to ask for a meeting at lunch.”
Situ Che nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's true. Lin Shiwen has rarely asked for a visit to me. It seems that there is indeed something he has to decide." Soon, Situ Che asked someone to invite Lin Shiwen in.
After a moment, Lin Shiwen walked in with a serious look on his face, not caring about Li Mingzhan around him at all, and said to Situ Che in a deep voice: "King, the situation is not good. The officials sent to rectify Wuling Prefecture to send back to the east of Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Fei Ge sent a letter saying that the Han army in Jingzhou left Jiangling Prefecture three days ago, and the navy from Youjiang and Yuanjiang raided Wuling Prefecture together with the left and right routes and land routes. Now 30,000 Han troops have entered Wuling Prefecture
, captured half of the Wuling Prefecture."
"What?" Situ Che stood up suddenly and was shocked by the news. "You said the Han army raided Wuling Prefecture in southwest of Jingzhou? Situ Fei's men?" Situ Che couldn't believe this at all. The Han army and the
The battle between us in Hanzhong was a huge loss. Now he dared to make his own decisions. How could he not feel unbelievable?
"King, the emergency military information of the Wuling Prefecture government will be transmitted here in no time. I think the situation will not be false. According to the officials sent by me, there are not many defenders in Wuling Prefecture, and the Han Dynasty has also reported that there are not many soldiers in Wuling Prefecture, and the
The army's surprise attack was beyond everyone's expectations. Therefore, the Wuling Prefecture defenders were defeated. In addition, according to the current situation, how big is the Han army's troops dispatched about 30,000, and they are all brave men." Lin Shiwen looked solemn
Said.
"But... But where did the King of Hanzhong get the troops? Could it be the Luo Army? It's impossible. According to the information, there are many conflicts between the King of Hanzhong and the Luoyang King now, and the Luo Army will never fight.
The Han army attacked us by the banner. After all, the Han army was under the jurisdiction of the Han army in the north of Wuling Prefecture." Situ Che couldn't believe it. Even Li Mingzhan, who was standing aside, looked surprised.
Lin Shiwen smiled bitterly and said, "King, this should be a suspicion of the Han army. In the past, the King of Hanzhong fought with us, and he also left people in Jingzhou. After all, he was also half the lord of Jingzhou. How could he not leave any help?
I am not afraid that the King of Luoyang would occupy all Jingzhou. In addition, the King of Hanzhong who returned also gathered the garrison troops in his jurisdiction, drew the elite troops in his territory, and formed combat troops. In addition, their weapons, armor and equipment,
I think it should be provided by the Zhao army. The king should know that the Luo army and the Han army in Jingzhou have trade relations with Yongzhou. In the past, the Han army in Hanzhong obtained the weapons of the Zhao army and had to stand stalemate with us for so long
Only then can we suffer heavy losses.”
"Now the Han army is going to be hostile to us, which is naturally what the Zhao army wants to see, so their armor and equipment are naturally provided by the Zhao army. In addition, according to the information received by the officials sent by the ministers, the Han army was informed that the Han army was
More than 2,000 cavalry have been formed, and even brave enough in Wuling Prefecture. During field battles, our soldiers were defeated by the Han army several times. It is also because of this that Wuling Prefecture was lost in just a few days.
More than half of it.”
"Damn it! Damn it! This Hanzhong King is indeed not a good person. He just fought with us in Hanzhong and now he is attacking us again. He is revenge on our revenge on Hanzhong. It's hateful. Didn't he see it now?
Is it the Zhao army in Hanzhong, not our Shu army?"
Lin Shiwen ignored Situ Che's complaint and said in a deep voice: "King, I think that now we should send troops to support us immediately, otherwise, the loss of Wuling Prefecture will even allow the Han army to enter Yizhou and Jiaozhou in the south.
We cannot let the Han army enter the state or the Han army. It would be fine if it was just Wuling Prefecture, after all, this was the jurisdiction of Jingzhou in the past. If Yizhou and Jiaozhou were invaded by the Han army, our Shu Kingdom would lose all its face.
The upper and lower parts were shaken. Especially in Jiaozhou in the south, if the Han army went south and cut off the ties with our Yizhou, then the Zhao army in eastern Jiaozhou could take advantage of the situation and advance westward and all the western part of Jiaozhou occupied by our army into the Zhao army.
With the hands of the Han army. After all, from the moment, the Han army has joined forces with the Zhao army.”
Situ Che took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Immediately, the troops in western Yizhou and northern Ningzhou will begin to approach eastward to support Wuling Prefecture. Especially in the south, where Jiaozhou connects with our Ningzhou, we will ensure that it will not be
It will be occupied by the Han army."
Lin Shiwen smiled bitterly and said, "King, most of the Yizhou army is in northern Yizhou and is hostile to the Zhao army in Hanzhong. In addition, more importantly, our food and supplies are now supporting tens of thousands of troops in the north. So, even if
We want timely support, but we are afraid that the army and food and supplies are all problems. The army is okay, and we can mobilize from Ningzhou, but food and supplies..."
