Chapter 285
After taking Wuling, Fu Youde went north to Jiangling and stationed troops in Zigui.He would wait until the supplies were ready before launching his plan to attack Shu.After arriving in Zigui, Fu Youde began to play leading roles, and Liu Heitai and Huo Jun both came under his command.
Zhang Yi is preparing to attack Yizhou in three routes, the middle route is ready, and the south route is to attack Nanzhong from Jiaozhi County.Zhang Yi chose Lin Fengxiang as the commander-in-chief, and gathered Wang Xiong, Han Shizhong, Yu Dayou, Sun Wuzhong, Ding Feng, and Wang Wei, Liu Min, Fu Xue, Zhang Nan, and Fu Kuang sent by Zhang Yi, with a combined force of 3. People, stationed in Longbian.
Only two counties of Zhang Yi in Jiaozhou did not move, namely Jiuzhen County and Rinan County.These two counties are currently conducting a small-scale settlement of the Zhanren. The combat effectiveness of the Zhanren is much worse than that of the foreign races in the Han Dynasty. The main reason is that they are short in stature, only higher than the Japanese!Therefore, Zhang Yi did not move these two counties, leaving more than 1 soldiers behind.
However, the ten thousand soldiers were not the same group as before. That group of soldiers had been replaced by Zhang Yi at the beginning of the year.You must know that those soldiers are all from Yangzhou. In the past two years, it can be said that they have left their hometowns, and their hearts are returning!So Zhang Yi asked Jiaozhou to train a group of soldiers by himself, and sent another [-] soldiers, including many veterans, who were specially used to teach these recruits in Jiaozhou.
Having sent Jiangling, it is natural to send counselors.The counselor on the middle road is Liu Muzhi, and on the south road is Wang Shouren. As for the north road, Zhang Yi basically doesn't need to worry about it. The commander of the north road army is Di Qing. Because taking the north road is the most difficult and dangerous road, there are only 1 people. Di Qing You only need to bring a few generals with you.Zhang Yi transferred Wei Yan and Lu Xun to Di Qing, allowing Di Qing to join Yong and Xicheng.
Why is this route the most difficult to take?In fact, there are more mountains. The Han River turns into Mianshui River further upstream, because the mountains are steep and there are many waterfalls.The faults in the mountain are too large. It is easy to advance from the top down, but not easy from the bottom up.When Guan Yu defeated Maicheng, many people said that Liu Feng watched Guan Yu die, but this was a bit unfair to Liu Feng.
Although Xiangyang is very close to Shangyong, it is very difficult to get there. When Liu Feng received the news, he did not dare to move in Shangyong.Not long after Shangyong was newly established, Shen Dan devoted himself to Cao.If he went to the rescue, Shen Dan would definitely rebel.In order to rescue someone who lost his territory, Liu Feng will definitely be convicted.Moreover, Liu Feng would not have expected Guan Yu to die like this. His partner Meng Da also thought so, and Liu Feng was not the only one who thought so.
Another thing is that after Liu Bei Yiling was defeated, Huang Quan and others had to surrender to Cao because they were cut off by the Wu army.If the road on Shangyong's side is really easy, Huang Quan will definitely not surrender to Cao Cao.You must know that after Liu Bei heard that Huang Quan surrendered Cao, he said that he was sorry for Huang Quan, but Huang Quan did not feel sorry for him.It can be seen how difficult the road of Shangyong is, and it is impossible to even retreat.
Li Jing went north to Nanyang and settled in Xinye, attracting the attention of Yu Jin from Nanyang.Di Qing led his army up from Zhuyang along Zhushui to Fangling.Fang Ling had already been taken down by Zhang Yi two years ago, but Zhang Yi did not garrison the army, but because Fang Ling was too close to Xiangyang, Hanzhong could send troops from Fang Ling to attack Xiangyang at any time.
After Di Qing reached Fangling, he immediately learned how to go to Shangyong from Fangling's defenders.The soldiers were so fast that Di Qing went directly to the west and broke through Shangyong County in a surprise attack.
Shangyong City is huge, but the road is too difficult to walk.It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the degree is even stronger than that in Shuzhong.The sky in Shuzhong actually belongs to both sides. Shuzhong can keep out the troops outside, and the outside can also block the troops inside Shuzhong from coming out.Just like the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun blocked Liu Bei.
But Shangyong is different, Shangyong is also easy to defend, but it is difficult for outsiders to trap Shangyong inside.However, because the road of withdrawing troops from Shangyong was too difficult, Hanzhong basically did not go back from here since ancient times.
The reason for this is that there is actually an allusion, and this allusion is called mediocrity.This idiom is now used to describe dull people, but it was born after the fall of the Yong state in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Many people in Yongguo have never heard of it, but this country is very powerful, even when it perishes, it is also very powerful.The location of the Yong State is the Shangyong area, but the mediocre people are very good at fighting. Many small countries are vassals of the Yong State. Even the entire Hanzhong was once a vassal of the Yong State. In its heyday, it was bigger than the territory of the Ba State.And it often invades other countries, basically no country can resist their invasion.
The State of Chu is a great country, and King Zhuang of Chu is also a very wise king of the State of Chu.But even during the reign of King Zhuang of Chu, many people in Chu State starved to death due to natural disasters.King Zhuang of Chu was in the process of hiding his power and biding his time, in the so-called three-year period of not flying.At this time, many countries were attacking Chu State, including Yong State.Facing other countries, King Chuzhuang basically had no reaction, but when facing Yongguo, King Chuzhuang unexpectedly showed his wise side, took off his disguise, and quickly contacted the two suffering masters of Yongguo, Ba Guo and Qin State.
So the three countries joined forces to besiege Yongguo, destroy Yongguo, and divide the land of Yongguo.The mediocre people attack the Chu State but are eliminated by the Chu State. This is the original meaning of the mediocre people disturbing themselves.
After Di Qing captured Shangyong, he went on to spy on Xicheng.Xicheng County is also a famous place. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang retreated to Xicheng and was pursued by Sima Yi's army, so the famous empty city strategy was devised.
But the empty city plan is false. The name of the place in Xicheng is wrong in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".It is recorded in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms that after Zhuge Liang lost the street pavilion, he drove more than a thousand families in Xi County back.This Xixian is not the Xicheng of Hanzhong, but the Xixian of Hanyang County.Not to mention making Zhang He into Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang never using the empty city trick, everyone is familiar with it.
But Xicheng is not an easy place to attack, and the road from Shangyong to Xicheng is not easy to walk.Therefore, Di Qing captured Shangyong just to prepare for the attack on Hanzhong, and did not attack immediately.
Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is not a fuel-efficient waiter. He also has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It is basically impossible to attack with only 1 people.He now needs to wait for an opportunity in Shangyong, and what Li Jing has to do next is to create an opportunity for Di Qing so that he can raid Nanzheng, the seat of Hanzhong.
Li Jing stationed [-] troops in Xinye, and the monks, masters and apprentices joined forces and approached Wancheng together.They are going to take down Wancheng and completely solve Cao Cao's nails left in Nanyang.
