What should be seen and thought of, Zhong Hui has actually seen it for a long time.

If Jiang Wei takes a step back, then Zhong Hui must take a step forward.

This is a rare opportunity.

The entire Shu Kingdom's military strength in Hanzhong is only 50,000.

In Zhong Hui's original plan, the best situation was to lure Yang Zheng south, hunt Hanzhong, and engage in a melee between the three parties.

Then the advantages of the Xiliang cavalry cannot be used. It is easy to enter, but not so easy to exit.

Hanzhong is a big net, but it is not yet known who is caught in the net!

"Three hundred thousand dan of grain harvested from the fields in Weinan." Yang Hu reported to Zhong Hui.

Like Liangzhou, Guanzhong also counts grain.

"Three hundred thousand dan, plus the grain imported from Hedong and Nanyang, the total is 700,000 dan, which can last for half a year." Yang Hu never participated in military discussions or led troops. He was only responsible for the logistics of the Guanzhong army.

"Half a year is enough." Zhong Hui was quite satisfied.

"Gu Zang has assembled an army of 100,000 thieves on foot and cavalry, but has not launched yet. His intention must be in Guanzhong!" Wang Hun, uncharacteristically, spoke enthusiastically.

This unprecedented war will determine the future of the three forces.

Yang Zheng cannot afford to lose, Jiang Wei cannot afford to lose, Zhong Hui cannot afford to lose, and even the wealthy Sima Zhao cannot afford to lose.

If Zhong Hui attacks Hanzhong with an army of more than 100,000 men, then Guanzhong will be empty.

"Unless Hanzhong suffers both losses, Thief Yang will definitely not send troops! Even if he sends troops, today's Chang'an is no longer the Chang'an of the past. Five thousand defenders can withstand it for half a year." Zhong Hui has been strengthening the city defense of Chang'an these days and rebuilding the city gates.

Wengcheng, arrow stacks, and a large amount of supplies were stored in the city.

In addition to the defenders, there were 20,000 to 30,000 civilians helping to defend the city.

As long as Chang'an holds off Yang Zheng's army for several months, Sima Zhao of Luoyang will not stand idly by.

The Central Plains has already had the strength to fight one against two.

During the Three Rebellions in Huainan, Sima Zhao suppressed Zhuge Dan with one hand and Sun Wei with the other. To the west, he had to face the flanking attacks of Yang Zheng and Jiang Wei.

"Jiang Wei gathered his troops in the valley, but stationed his fields in Tazhong. This must have caused the Shu thieves to be unrest in the country. Huang Hao manipulated power, and the Shu thieves were in chaos. If the governor captured Hanzhong, he could march straight in, destroy Shu in one battle, and become an unparalleled king.

Work!" Wang Jun became more and more excited as he spoke.

It is an indisputable fact that the Shu Kingdom is getting weaker and weaker.

The last time Wang Jun's eight thousand elite troops defeated Chencang in one battle, it would have been impossible four or five years ago.

Four or five years ago, the Kingdom of Shu, under the leadership of Jiang Wei, frequently launched the Northern Expedition. He fought against the three famous generals Deng Ai, Guo Huai, and Chen Tai alone, with several times the strength, and was able to retreat with ease.

Zhong Hui's eyes flashed, but soon the excitement on his face faded away. He shook his head and said, "This time we will only take Hanzhong. The decision to destroy Shu still needs to be decided by the Prime Minister."

Without Yang Zheng in the west, these 140,000 troops may not be able to destroy Shu, but with Yang Zheng watching from the side, Zhong Hui must be cautious.

The three parties plotted against each other, but also restrained each other.

And the greater the credit, the greater the risk.

This risk not only comes from the battlefield, but also from behind.

Zhong Huiren knew everything about what happened in Chang'an and Luoyang.

"Uncle, how about you stay in Chang'an?" Zhong Hui asked Yang Hu seemingly casually.

Yang Hu was stunned and hurriedly handed over his hand, "I have never led an army and have only read a few military books. Chang'an is of great importance. If anything goes wrong, it will be a small thing if I am shattered to pieces, but it will be a big thing if it delays the national affairs."

Zhong Hui smiled and said: "Haha, uncle is too modest. I can still recognize talents with my eyes. The one who can guard Chang'an must be my uncle! With my uncle behind me, I can worry about the front, and Yang Thief may not attack Chang'an." , the Prime Minister will not let Chang'an fall."

Among Wang Jun, Yang Hu, and Wang Hun, Yang Hu was the most dignified and elegant, with a height of seven feet three inches and a handsome man and eyebrows. He was a step ahead of Wang Jun. Zhong Hui was best at judging people by their appearance.

"Please take back the command, Commander-in-Chief. I cannot bear this important responsibility." Yang Hu declined again and again.

"The Prime Minister entrusted the four of you and me with Guanzhong. My uncle repeatedly declined, but why?" Zhong Hui said with a smile.

After carrying Sima Zhao out, Yang Hu wanted to refuse, but he also had to consider the consequences.

"Since the Governor values ​​his subordinates so much, I will definitely do my best." Yang Hu cupped his hands and said.

"Great kindness!" Zhong Hui clapped his hands and laughed.

"My uncle's talent has made a name for himself in the world, so I don't have any worries now!" Wang Jun raised his hand to Yang Hu.

Wang Hun's face darkened.

Wang Chang died of illness. He should have returned to Chang'an to observe his filial piety, but Sima Zhao forced him to stay in his post. If he stayed, he would stay. Wang Hun also wanted to make some achievements.

But Zhong Hui was close to Wang Jun and Yang Hu, but was a little distant from him.

Does Zhong Hui care about Wang Hun's thoughts? He rubbed his hands and said solemnly: "Everything has been decided. I am ordering the three armies to raise troops in three days and follow me to attack Hanzhong!"

"Wei!" The three of them raised their hands at the same time.

Luoyang.

The autumn wind blows southward and the weather turns cooler.

Sima Zhao naturally knew that the world structure had entered a crucial stage.

If this battle is won, the Shu Kingdom will be destroyed within a few years after losing Hanzhong.

Liangzhou's vigorous upward momentum was suppressed.

"Destroying Liang in one battle will be too difficult for Shu, but if we take down Hanzhong, then the world will be ours." Sima Zhao leaned on the yellow jacquard tassel table.

The emperor's jade table was made in the Han Dynasty, and in the winter, he added brocade on it, which is called the jade table. The princes all used bamboo and wood as the table, and in the winter, they used fine silk as a draft to support it. As for the common people, they were not even weak, so naturally No need to rely on it.

The number is a symbol of status.

Sima Zhao now uses yellow jacquard tapestry, and his thoughts are self-evident.

Jia Chong said sadly: "Shi Ji and Yang Zheng are both heroes in the world. How the situation in the northwest will turn out depends on their methods."

Comparing Zhong Hui and Yang Zheng together and praising them as "heroes of the world", Sima Zhao frowned and looked very unhappy on his face.

The person that Sima Zhao hates and hates the most in this world, Yang Zheng undoubtedly ranks first.

"Hero? Gonglu, don't talk nonsense!" Sima Zhao scolded in a low voice.

Jia Chong stood up quickly, bowed with his hands and knees, "This is not what I am saying, but what Governor Zhong said in his letter."

He took out a piece of silk from his arms, knelt forward and presented it.

Sima Zhao took it and after reading it, his face became even more gloomy.

Before Zhong Hui sent troops, people in Luoyang kept discouraging him.

Xun Xu, Zhong Hui's nephew, said: Although Zhong Hui was favored, his nature did not allow him to see Siyi, so he must prepare for it quickly.

Even Zhong Hui's elder brother Zhong Yu warned him: Hui's skills cannot be guaranteed and he cannot be appointed exclusively.

At that time, Sima Zhao smiled and said that if Zhonghui was in chaos in the future, it would have nothing to do with you.

"There are heroes in the world...only you and me..." Sima Zhao read Zhong Hui's letter word by word. This sentence was just like what Wei Wu said to Liu Bei when Qingmei was making wine.

Zhong Hui's calligraphy cannot be imitated by others, it is just as flamboyant as his person.

Although Jia Chong lowered his head, he could clearly feel Sima Zhao's gradually growing anger.

At this time, Chen Tai coughed lightly.

Sima Zhao suddenly threw the silk on the ground and said with a smile: "Don't I know what Shi Ji is like? This must be a plan to provoke the general. Shi Ji and I have known each other since childhood. How could he betray me? Don't say too much!"

Jia Chong was stunned, but he didn't expect that even this could not overthrow Zhong Hui.

Chen Tai cupped his hands and said: "There is a saying in Zuo Zhuan: The soldiers are like fire. If you don't fight, you will burn yourself. The Shu thieves' national power is exhausted. In the past, Fei Yi was still in charge of the army. Jiang Wei took charge of the army and repeatedly raised troops for the Northern Expedition. The national power was exhausted.

Waste and no gain, and now the civil strife is a sign of the destruction of the country. The Prime Minister can gather all the elites in Luozhong and rush to Chang'an. If the Shu Kingdom is destroyed, the day of unification of the world is not far away!"
