Chapter 491: Mandate of Heaven
The embankment of a thousand miles has collapsed in people's hearts.
Yang'an Pass was breached and the situation changed.
The Wei army gained a foothold and divided the Shu Kingdom into three, blocking Jiange in the south, dividing Hanzhong in the east and west, and cutting off Jiang Wei and Liao Hua in the west.
Tazhong and Yinping no longer have any meaning.
The large amount of food supplies stored in Yang'an Pass solved Zhong Hui's urgent need.
There is a rumbling sound in the Shu Kingdom.
I don’t know when, but the nursery rhyme about the country’s subjugation began to be recited throughout the Shu Kingdom.
The sun is scorching and the willows are green. Instead of chasing the horse in the east mountain, follow the clouds in the west mountain.
Han Shou, who was standing in front of Jiange, suffered the greatest impact. Hu Ji, the governor of Hanzhong, was so frightened that he led the defenders to retreat into Jiange.
Liu Chan, the Lord of Shu, sent Zhang Yi and Dong Jue to lead 10,000 Chengdu elites to rescue Yang'an Pass.
In Tazhong, Jiang Wei's face looked horribly gloomy.
The places with the least problems are the first to have problems.
Fu Qian and Jiang Shu were both his trusted generals. They had followed him in battles for more than ten years and had always been loyal. No matter how clever Jiang Wei was, he would not have thought that people's hearts could no longer be defended.
Dark clouds swept across the sky, and the cold wind kept whining.
"General!"
Outside the hall, dozens of loyal and brave generals were kneeling on the ground.
The entire military camp was eerily quiet, and the soldiers were in panic.
The strongest Yang'an Pass in Hanzhong can be breached, but what else cannot be breached?
This is the first time in decades that the Wei army has made such great progress.
The Shu army generally became suspicious of the strategy of gathering troops and gathering valleys.
There were many discussions in private. If Wei Yan had followed Wei Yan's policy of wrongly guarding all the sieges, this matter would not have happened.
But when Jiang Wei stood in front of everyone, all the fears and rumors suddenly dissipated.
"It's just Yang'an Pass. Take it back. Don't you want to be loyal to me as a great man?" Jiang Wei is still the same Jiang Wei. The cold wind caressed the wrinkles on his face like swords. Although the hero is old, he still has a strong ambition.
Not reduced.
The military spirit of the Shu army lies in Jiang Wei, and the survival of the Shu country actually also lies in Jiang Wei.
If he wavers, the Shu army will collapse immediately.
"How dare you! We are about to follow the general in a bloody battle to recapture Yang'an Pass!" the generals said with cupped hands.
"Take back Yang'an Pass!" In the military camp, more than 10,000 soldiers raised their swords and spears and pierced the dark sky, shouting in a hissing voice.
They are the only ones left with the inheritance of the Han Dynasty.
Jiang Wei bowed his hands to the generals.
After a while, a fire broke out in the camp, and thick smoke was blown by the cold wind.
If Yang'an Pass is lost, Tazhong has no meaning.
Destiny does not exist in the Han Dynasty, how can it be reversed by manpower?
Zhuge Wuhou couldn't turn things around, so what could Jiang Wei do?
Jiang Wei looked back in the direction of Liangzhou in the northwest, the gloom in his heart getting deeper and deeper, "Yang Zheng, let's see how you take action!"
The Shu army from Tazhong mobilized, joined forces with Liao Hua, abandoned Tazhong and Yinping, gathered all the young and strong troops, assembled an army of more than 25,000, and withdrew to Baishui, just in time to meet Dong who had rushed to Hanshou.
Jue, Zhang Yi merged.
President Zhong drove straight in, and the fighting spirit of more than 100,000 troops was high.
The more than 30,000 Shu troops could not resist and retreated into the Jiange Pavilion to defend.
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky. The road from Dajian to Xiaojian Pass is thirty miles long and the mountains are extremely dangerous. Zhuge Wuhou carved a stone to make the Feiliang Pavilion Road to pass through, and the two cliffs were cut off at the cliff of Dajian Mountain.
At the place of the stand, build a stone gate against the cliff and set up a pavilion.
The natural dangers are not enough to describe this place.
But such natural dangers have never really protected a corner of Sichuan.
At the foot of Dajian Mountain, the Wei army camps are like clouds in the sky, scattered among the green mountains and green waters.
If it weren't for the overwhelming killing atmosphere, it would still be a strange sight.
"The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, the Weijia sea is coming back home, and the strong soldiers are guarding the four directions!"
Zhong Hui was dressed in white clothes and sang with his sword in front of the army. His long sleeves were fluttering and his sword was shining, sometimes as fast as thunder returning to the clouds, sometimes as slow as the floating leaves on the water.
The Yitian Sword turned into bursts of cold light.
Those who are famous for their calligraphy are naturally not bad at swordsmanship.
All the generals cheered.
Jiang Shu was invited to take the seat on the right, in front of all the Wei generals.
"The ambition of a man in his life is just to carry a three-foot sword, lead a hundred thousand people, defeat the enemy, expand the territory, and achieve unparalleled fame. Now that Yang'an Pass has been conquered, Hanzhong will be gained for me. Good luck!" Zhong Hui!
He sheathed his sword heartily, picked up a bottle of wine, and handed it to Jiang Shu personally, "The first credit goes to General Jiang!"
Jiang Shu quickly bowed down and said, "It is Shu's great fortune to meet the governor!"
Zhong Hui felt great, helped Jiang Shu up and said with a smile: "Haha, it is God's will that you and I meet today."
"Now Huang Hao is causing trouble at home, and the scholars in Jingzhou and Yizhou are fighting outside. Your Majesty... the Lord of Shu is weak, and it is really the fate of Shu that will be destroyed. My subordinates are willing to lead an army as the vanguard, attack the sword pavilion, and march straight to Chengdu!"
After receiving courtesy from Zhong Hui, Jiang Shu's hatred for the Shu Kingdom became stronger and stronger. Only by destroying the Shu Kingdom and making more people become traitors could he prove that he was right.
Wang Jun also cupped his hands and said: "That's right. Now the people of Shu are in panic and morale is low. It's the right time to destroy Shu in one battle."
Zhong Hui shook his head, "There is Jiang Wei in the front and Yang Zheng in the back. Although Yang'an has been taken, Han and Le cities are still there. Don't be reckless. Winning Hanzhong is enough."
When Yang Zheng was mentioned, both of them had nothing to say.
From now on, the world will be in the middle of this battle. How can Liangzhou just sit idly by?
"The Yang thieves enter Hanzhong, and their cavalry will be useless. They will be defeated by the governor! If they enter the pass, Chang'an is impregnable and cannot be attacked. Then a partial division of our army can go north from Chencang, attack Xiaoguan, and cut off the thieves' food route to the west.
!The Governor’s clever plan!” In Wang Jun’s eyes, Yang Zheng would die no matter how hard he struggled.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Zhong Hui was unmoved by such a hot flattery, "In a few years, Yang Xingyun was able to rise from a humble place and sweep Yongliang. Is he a person who has gained fame in vain? The key to this battle is still
It depends on how he takes action. Our army has Yang'an Pass in hand and can rest and recuperate."
By capturing Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui was already in an invincible position.
The Jiange is dangerous, and there are Jiang Wei, Zhang Yi and other famous Shu generals, and tens of thousands of Shu troops are defending it. Zhong Hui really doesn't need to fight with them.
Moreover, the Wei army had been blocked in Hanzhong for several months and was depleted of men and horses. To attack the more dangerous Jiange was tantamount to seeking death.
But it still looks like it should.
Zhong Hui ordered the generals to send out troops in turn, marching in with great noise and bluffing, building a fort in front of the sword pavilion, sometimes attacking, sometimes holding firm.
The Shu army fought many times with the intention of retaking Yang'an Pass, but was blocked by the Wei army.
The situation in Hanzhong gradually fell into a confrontation.
But this confrontation is obviously beneficial to the Wei army.
Every day that passes, the situation in Hanzhong becomes worse.
Moreover, there have been rumors recently that Sima Zhao will raise an army that will overwhelm the country and march straight to Chang'an.
The Shu Kingdom used the power of one state to confront the entire Central Plains in Hanzhong. The longer the time dragged on, the weaker the country became.
Zhong Hui secretly exchanged letters with Jiang Bin, Wang Han and others.
As always, he did not mention the matter of persuading surrender, but only talked about his experiences in the north and south, and the past affairs of the previous dynasty.
He also ordered Fu Qian to be buried lavishly at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and a monument was erected to show his loyalty, and to collect the Shu soldiers who died in Yang'an Pass.
