In the early morning of October 28, 263 AD, Jiangyou fell. Late on the night of the 28th, Zhuge Zhan and Yan Yu, who were stationed in Fucheng, received bad news from Dong Ming's home.

"This Dong Ming is simply a waste! Jiangyou Jiancheng! He didn't even hold on for a night. He didn't give us any time to react. Waste! Waste!"

Seeing Zhuge Zhan scolding Dong Ming at some point, Yan Yu couldn't help but frown, but Yan Yu, whose bureaucratic attributes were getting stronger and stronger, actually endured it and watched Zhuge Zhan sing a one-man show alone there.

"Siyuan! Now is not the time to scold Dong Ming. I guess he has already died for his country at this time." The one who couldn't help but speak was Huang Chong, the Shangshu Lang. As a colleague at Shangshutai, the two had a good personal relationship. Others dared not speak, but he dared to speak.

"So what if I die for my country? Jiangyou is so heavy, it is actually lost overnight. The gateways in the basin are wide open! What's the matter! This waste! Waste!"

"Okay, okay, let alone these past events. Now the military situation is urgent, how will our army behave? Please make a plan quickly!"

"Uh..." Speaking of this, Zhuge Zhan finally calmed down. "Wenping, what do you think our army should do next?"

Yan Yu, who was over 60 years old, was so depressed by Zhuge Zhan, who was thirty-six years old. But Yan Yu also knew that this guy had a very scary father who had always been arrogant in Shu Han. So he didn't have to say much, so he had to say in a deep voice: "The last letter from Chongliang did not state how many troops Deng Ai had. So, what should our army do next is really hard to grasp."

"Oh? Wenping, tell me, what if Deng Ai has more troops? So what if he has less troops?"

"Well, if Deng Ai's troops exceed 20,000, then our army has nothing to say. We must immediately advance to Anchangting, sixty miles northwest of Fucheng. It is the junction between the mountains on the edge of the basin and the plains in the basin. Our army must firmly block the exit there and prevent the enemy from entering the plain completely. In this way, our army can hold on with it for a period of time. At the same time, we urgently report to the court and let the court draw the troops from Nanzhong and Fuling to support it. Deng Ai came from Jinggu Road, and his food route was cut off. It must not last long. Therefore, as long as our army sticks to the exit, we can win steadily!"

"Well, what if Deng Ai has fewer troops?"

"Then our army can let Deng Ai enter the plain and gather him..."

"No!!!" After hearing Yan Yu say the second plan, Huang Chong jumped up in fear: "Right General, this move must not be done! Don't say that we don't know how many Deng Ai's army is at present. Even if Deng Ai's army is less than 10,000, we cannot let him enter the basin! This is the way to die!"

"Why did Bo Chong say this? Deng Ai went deep into the army alone, without reinforcements outside, and without food and grass. If his troops were insufficient, entering the basin would be completely dead."

"The Right General's words are very wrong! First, the natives of Yizhou have been dissatisfied with our Han Dynasty for a long time. If Deng Ai's army enters the plain, they will definitely receive secret funding from the Yizhou family. This food and grass are definitely not a problem for him. Second, Deng Ai's army is a veteran who has fought in Longxi for many years. Its combat power is enough to be comparable to the mobile corps under the general's command. Jinggu Road can come through such a arduous no-man's land. There is no need to say much about the will and discipline of this army. Our army is now 8,000 people, and the 8,000 Yong'an army of the Right General's 8,000 will not talk about him. This ten thousand feather forest

...Haha, this combat power is really limited. Third, Deng Ai has been defending the general in Longxi for many years. With the ability of the general, he only has a victory or defeat with Deng Ai. Please recall Siyuan and the Right General. There are so many commanders of the general in the Northern Expedition over the years. Besides Deng Ai, who else can give the general a complete Duan Gu defeat? ... So, our army actually has no choice. No matter how many soldiers Deng Ai has, our army should go north overnight to block the key points of Anchangting so that it cannot enter the plains. In this way, our army has a glimmer of vitality!"

Huang Chong's words, if Guan Yi was here, he would definitely jump up and applaud. After the applause, he would hold the other party's hand and ask: "Brother, you have also traveled through time, right? Why do you think about the problem so thoroughly?"

Unfortunately, Guan Yi is not here, and his audience is Zhuge Zhan and Yan Yu. To these two people, Huang Chong's words are actually full of irony.

First, what does Deng Ai mean when he enters the plains, he will be warmly supported by the general public? I, Zhuge Zhan, have been so unbearable and unpopular at the Shangshutai over the years? I am the son of the prime minister!

Second, what does Deng Ai have strict discipline in the army? That is the army of the pseudo-dynasty. What you said first is that your political incorrectness!

Third, what does Jiang Wei mean? What do you mean is that I, Zhuge Zhan and Yan Yu, are they both trash?

(Guan Yi: Nodding, yes!)

It can be said that if Yan Yu had not agreed to what kind of response strategy he had adopted at the beginning, Huang Chong's words had already made Yan Yu strongly favor the decisive battle in the plains.

The decisive battle in the plains, annihilated Deng Ai's troops, and let the entire Han people see that Yan Yu's military strategy is no worse than Jiang Wei!

Besides, everyone knows that if you block the enemy outside the door, you can at most fight a pursuit battle, and the military achievements you have achieved are very limited. If you open the door and let the enemy come in and then fight an annihilation battle, then the military achievements will be great - isn't this the new Hanzhong strategy formulated by Jiang Wei?

(Guan Yi: Big Brother, but the new Hanzhong strategy has failed.)

"What Bo Chong said makes sense. That's it. I mean, I'll send a scout to investigate first, figure out Deng Ai's troops before making plans. Wenping, what do you think?"

"General Wei's opinion is very good, let's do it."

"No! No! Two, Deng Ai, are famous generals, will never give us enough time to set up defenses at Anchang Pavilion. What our army has to do now is to set off immediately! Immediately!"

"Okay, Bo Chong, this matter ends here. Let's take a look at the scout's report first."

"It's over! It's over! Is my great man going to die today?"

"Shut up! How could you say such words? Come on, Shangshulang is tired, take him down to rest!"

...

At the same time, Cao Wei's army at the east gate of Jiangyou City had been assembled.

"Report to the General of the Western Expedition, our army had a total of 17,000 people. Yesterday, it was killed and seriously injured due to rolling down the mountains. It was injured and disappeared during the marching at night, seriously injured and killed in the attack on Jiangyou. The total number of people was reduced by 3,327. Now there are still 13,673 people, and they have all been assembled. Wait for the general's orders!"

"Shan, by the way, Sima, how far is our rear army from us?"

"The rear army led by the major general has passed the cliff we jumped off yesterday. The news I just received was that it defeated the Shu army stationed at the exit of the canyon this afternoon. It is currently resting in the Wubao there. If necessary, it can join our army overnight."

"Well, let this matter go first. County Ma, are you sure that Zhuge Siyuan and Yan Wenping are now stationed in Fucheng? There are only 18,000 soldiers?"

"It's true, please don't worry, General Xi Jinping."

"Well, the Yizhou family sent 7,000 stones of grain today, which solved the urgent needs of our army, but this little grain..."

"General, don't worry too much. Although Jiangyou is very flat, it is surrounded by mountains, so it is inconvenient to transport grain. If the general takes Anchang Pavilion, then there will be endless food and other things!"

"Good Guardian, where did our scouts go?"

"After our army took down Jiangyou this morning, we had already sent out scouts. The farthest one was probably crossing Anchangting and entering the plain."

"At present, there has been no news of the Shu army marching north, right?"

“Not received yet.”

"Very good!" Deng Ai-chi had a gray beard, turned his head and smiled at Shi Zhuan: "I would like to ask Sima to send a letter to the rear army, asking them to come to Jiangyou for temporary stay for two days, mainly responsible for treating the wounded from our former army and to restore the combat effectiveness of the minor wounded as soon as possible. This time they marched, they should not go with them. After all, they are a guest, so they can't scare Zhuge Siyuan's boss."

"Hehe, so that's it. The general is indeed far-reaching."

"Where are, after all, I am over 60 years old, so I should be gentler to the young." After talking to Shi Zhuan with a smile, Deng Ai looked solemn, climbed a small mound and shouted loudly: "My warriors of the Great Wei Dynasty ran all night yesterday and slept all day today. Are they all energetic, right?"

"Please rest assured, General, we have been raising our energy for a long time!"

"Yes, General, are you going to run for one night tonight?"

"Then run away, the big axe I'm waiting for is already hungry and thirsty!"

"Hahahahahaha~~~~Okay! Now follow the order! The whole army set out and run towards Anchang Pavilion 130 miles southeast!"

"Wow!!!!"

————————————————

In the basic plane of history, Deng Ai's sneak attack on Jinggu Road had been known by Shu Han. It was Zhuge Zhan who stayed in Fucheng and did not take the initiative to approach Jiangyou, which led to the defeat and surrender of Jiangyou. So why did Zhuge Zhan adopt such a bad strategy? During the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Murong Zhen, the general of the Later Yan, revealed the answer: "In the past, Cheng'an Jun did not guard the pass of Jingxing, and finally surrendered to Han Xin; Zhuge Zhan did not take the risk of Shuma, and he was captured by Deng Ai." During the Chu and Han Dynasty, Cheng'an Jun Chen Yuyi

The 200,000 troops fought against Han Xin, but did not follow Li Zuoche's words and abandoned the danger of Jingxing, and wanted to defeat Han Xin by relying solely on superior forces. Chen Yu moved the idea of ​​occupying the danger but repelling the enemy, and in battle, he could wipe out the enemy completely. As a result, he was defeated by the Han army that was "fighting on the back" and moved his head. Zhuge Zhan happened to be a battle with Chen Yu, so he abandoned Jiangyou and just wanted to put the enemy in and destroy the Wei army with his superior forces. In the end, he was also solved by the "fighting on the back" of the Wei army.
