Although Jiang Wei changed Wei Yan's policy of wrongly guarding the siege and entered Hanzhong at the sound of the bell, the cities in Hanzhong were all dangerous places surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Gather troops and gather grain, and concentrate troops and food in important cities to await defensive counterattacks.

"Why didn't Wang Hun come to see me?" After hearing the news that Wang Hun had been unable to attack for a long time, Zhong Hui smiled instead of getting angry, but this smile was a bit creepy.

"General Wang wants to trap the Shu army surrounded by gold to prevent them from threatening our army's rear." Ju'an said tremblingly, wishing he could greet the eighteenth generation of Wang Hun's ancestors.

After the siege failed, although Wang Hun did not kill him, he gave him a more deadly job and explained to Zhong Hui...

Wang Hun is not easy to mess with, and Zhong Hui is not a good person.

Zhong Hui chuckled and said, "So, do you still want to thank him?"

"I don't dare. It's just because the mountains around Huangjinwei are steep and the Shu army is quite elite. The veteran general Liu Yin is the bravest among all three armies, so General Wang asked for some grace." Ju An felt that he had never been so useless in his life.

Zhong Hui closed his eyes, but his middle finger tapped on the bamboo table, neither softly nor hardly, with just the right sound and a full sense of pressure.

Ju'an felt his head rubbing against the knife edge repeatedly.

There was cold sweat all over my forehead.

Nowadays, Zhonghui needs heads too much to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

Wang Hun didn't dare to come himself, so he asked Ju An to come...

These big shots are plotting against each other, and the little guys are risking their lives at every turn.

After a long time, Zhong Hui sighed, "That's fine, just give it a few more days."

Wang Hun is not Ju'an, but the Wang family of Taiyuan is behind him.

Wang Chang had just passed away and was posthumously named Situ.

Zhong Hui killing Wang Chang would be detrimental to his own reputation and future.

The establishment of a military order was nothing more than forcing Wang Hun to bow his head.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your magnanimity!" Ju'an half-knelt on the ground and bowed his hands.

Yang'an Pass cannot be captured, Han City and Le City cannot be captured, and even Golden Siege cannot be captured.

Zhong Hui was very upset.

The 120,000-strong army has been in Hanzhong for a long time without success, and the situation is gradually getting worse.

Zhong Hui was good at plotting. In the past, when Sima Division and Sima Zhao conquered Huainan, they often planned strategies from behind. However, his tactics for attacking cities and territories were far inferior to his strategies. When he entered Hanzhong, he cast nets everywhere and divided his troops to attack, but there was no one.

No fish were caught.

There are 30,000 troops in Hanzhong, and Jiang Wei has more than 10,000 elite troops in Tazhong. In addition, there are 6,7,000 Shu troops from Liao Hua in Yinping.

Once the Wei army shows signs of fatigue, it will be time for Jiang Wei and Liao Hua to bite them.

"The key points in Hanzhong are all at Yang'an Pass. Behind this pass is the Jiange Pavilion. If we get this place, Han will be able to successfully become an isolated city!" When there was nothing to do, Wang Jun suggested.

Yang'an Pass is the defense node of Hanzhong and the first gateway to Shuzhong.

After taking this place, the Shu army was divided into three.

Jiang Wei and Liao Hua were blocked to the west, Hanzhong was cut off to the east, and Shuzhong was cut off to the south.

"I will attack it with heavy troops!" Zhong Hui immediately agreed to Wang Jun's suggestion as if he was enlightened.

In the past, Fazheng once said to Liu Bei: The belly of the fish and the key point are actually the door to disaster and fortune in Yizhou.

The belly of the fish is Baidi City, one of the important towns in Yong'an. It was the place where Liu Bei was defeated and Tuogu was defeated, and this place blocked Lu Xun's pursuit.

The key point is Yang'an Pass.

This pass is the beginning of the Hanzhong Basin. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The north and south plains are about four miles wide. It is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the north, Hanjiang River and Bashan Mountain in the south, Dingjun Mountain in the west, Tiandang Mountain in a corner, and the famous Jiange in the southwest.

.

It is the gateway among gateways. Guancheng leads to Guancheng, Shuzhong leads to Hanzhong, and Hanzhong leads to Longyou. They all need to pass through here.

So Jiang Wei sent two important generals and 20,000 troops to defend.

Fu Qian and Jiang Shu were both people who had followed Jiang Wei for many years.

Fu Qian was once promoted to the governor of Guanzhong.

Jiang Shu was also the governor of Wuxing in his early years, but after Huang Hao came to power, he began to suppress Jiang Wei and divide his people. Jiang Shu came from a humble background and his family background was not as prominent as Fu Qian's. Huang Hao targeted him because he thought he had no merit and was dismissed from his official position.

.

However, his old boss Jiang Wei refused to give up and asked him to help defend Yang'an Pass.

It is true that Zhong Hui found the throat between Hanzhong and Shuzhong, but this throat is not so easy to capture.

The superiority of troops cannot be deployed in narrow terrain.

Once the Wei army attacks, there will be endless rolling stones in Guanzhong...

Fu Qian and Jiang Shu were both wise and courageous generals who were unparalleled in their time. Their command was firm, and the food in the city was abundant. The Shu army worked hard, but the Wei army suffered heavy casualties before they even touched the wall.

After several days of fierce attacks, except for the thousands of corpses and many wounded soldiers, Yang'an Pass was as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhong Hui saw through Jiang Wei's strategy of gathering troops to gather in valleys to lure the enemy in. He marched in with a force of 120,000 troops to defeat the enemy with force. However, as soon as he entered the tactical level, he encountered obstacles at every turn.

We know that Shu is a strong country but can't break through this tough exterior.

There are iron plates everywhere in Hanzhong, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Zhong Hui was depressed and could only temporarily order his soldiers to rest.

"The governor has always been wise and far-reaching. Jiang Wei has been preparing for this battle for a long time. Hanzhong is impregnable, so it is naturally difficult to capture. The two armies are fighting, so don't rush. It is said that if you defend for a long time, you will lose. Now my army of 120,000 has entered Hanzhong. It is like a sword.

Hanging on the neck, Shu's national strength is exhausted, how long will it consume? The governor might as well help the siege and defend himself until the times change. If one of the three places in Hanzhong is destroyed, all of Hanzhong will be destroyed."

At this time, Xun Kai, the guard of the army, came up with a plan.

This person is the great-grandson of Xun or, the grandson of Sima Yi. His father, Xun Fei, is the grandson of Cao Cao, Wu of the Wei Dynasty. He has a prominent family background and is the best in the world...

The Xun family and the Zhong family share the same spirit, so Zhong Hui will naturally listen to Xun Kai's words.

Then he ordered the army to build a fortress on the spot for a long-term attack.

In addition, Zhong Hui personally went to Dingjun Mountain to pay homage to the tomb of Zhuge Wuhou, and wrote thousands of eloquent words praising Zhuge Wuhou and worshiping the sky.

To reassure the soldiers and people of Shu.

If a strong attack fails, the only option is to attack softly.

If you work hard enough, even a drop of water can penetrate a stone.

He also ordered people to shoot letters to the cities of Yang'an, Han, and Le, promising high officials and generous salaries to persuade the generals to surrender.

He even praised Jiang Bin, the guard general of Seoul, saying, "There are many wise, intelligent, civil and military people in Bashu. As for my subordinates, Zhuge Siyuan is like all the grass and trees, and I have the same spirit. The respect of Sangzi has been respected in ancient and modern times. When I arrive in the west, I want to

When I visit the tomb of the great monarch and prince, I should sweep the tomb and pay homage to the shrine. I would like to tell you where it is!"

Zhong Hui came from a top noble family, and Jiang Bin was also a leader of the Jingzhou clan. He was influenced by his father Jiang Wan since childhood and was quite famous for his morale. He wrote to Zhong Hui in reply: "I know that the bad smell means that the scroll will be prosperous, and the elegant trust will flow, and I will not refuse to come."

It is said that in the past, he suffered from illness and diarrhea and died in Fujian County. The fortune teller said that he was lucky, so he settled in his house. Knowing that the king was approaching the west, he wanted to bow down and repair the tomb. He regarded him as his father, Yan Zi was kind, and he felt sad after hearing his fate.

, to increase feelings and thoughts.”

Although the situation on the battlefield did not open up, Zhong Hui's reputation spread.

Everything that happened in Hanzhong was quickly reported to Jiang Wei in Dazhong.

So far, the situation is exactly as Jiang Wei expected.

The next step is to endure it.

Let's see who gets exhausted first.

Although Yang'an, Han, Le, Huanghuang, and Zhonghui attacked Yang'an Pass, Jiang Wei was least worried about this place.

There are 20,000 elites in the city, which can be said to be a well-equipped army.

"Zhonghui has become a fish in the bottom of the cauldron, and the defeat has been decided. The general's strategy of gathering troops and gathering in the valley has taken effect. Winter is about to come. Why not blockade the Qinling Mountains and cut off Zhonghui's supplies?" The situation was excellent, Huang Chong suggested.

Jiang Wei shook his head, "The Wei army is not tired yet, and can still supply food and grass for several months, so there is no need to rush. And the key to this battle lies in Liangzhou!"

"Yang Zheng?"

"In the great battle of Hanzhong, Guanzhong was empty. Yang Zheng strengthened his troops and strengthened his troops. He defeated Gu Zang. If he did not take Guanzhong, what was his purpose?"

"Could it be that Yang Zheng also covets Hanzhong?" Huang Chong frowned.

From the perspective of the situation in Yongliang, Hanzhong has become the most critical place.

If Shu protects Hanzhong, it protects Zuo.

If the Wei State captures Hanzhong, it can advance to Shuzhong, retreat to help defend Guanzhong, strategically squeeze Liangzhou, and gradually invade Longyou.

Similarly, if Liangzhou captures Hanzhong, the entire Guanzhong will be strategically surrounded, and Sima Zhao will definitely not be able to defend it. If Yang Zheng is more ambitious and manages Hanzhong well, he can go south to destroy Shu.

So when Jiang Wei used Hanzhong as bait, Zhong Hui was destined to take the bait.

But Yang Zheng stood still!

The more he remained motionless, the more uneasy Jiang Wei felt.

"Yang Zheng is a tiger and a wolf in the world! He neither sends troops to Guanzhong nor to Hanzhong. What is his plan? Is it because he wants to take advantage of Hanzhong to lose both sides and make the fisherman gain?" This is all Huang Chong could think of.

Jiang Wei put his hands behind his back and walked out of the house, looking at the vast mountains to the west.

Surrounded by green mountains, with towering snow caps and a clear blue sky.

The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down!
