After a month of hard fighting, the Chinese army attacked the depleted Wei State with lightning speed, completely occupied Qinzhou, Liangzhou and Hanzhong County in Yizhou, and forced the Western Qiang King Cheliji to surrender to the Chinese army and pay tribute to the Qiang land every year.
specialty.
Letters conveying the news flew into Yizhou like snowflakes and reached the ears of Wei Emperor Cao Cao. However, due to the dangerous mountains and rivers, the long distance, and the difficulty of traveling to Shu, the news of the Chinese army's attack on Huayin Pass spread.
By the time we arrived in Chengdu, it was already half a month later.
At this time, Qinzhou had been completely captured by Xu Huang. When Cao Cao heard the news, he couldn't believe that the Chinese army was so fast. On the one hand, Xun Yu was left to guard Chengdu, while he took one hundred thousand troops with him.
The army returned to Qinzhou and marched day and night, hurrying and slowly, and finally arrived at Jiameng Pass on the first day of February.
The front army of the Wei State had just arrived here, and news of the fall of Hanzhong County came from the other side, making the Wei State even worse.
Before the Wei State conquered the Shu Han Dynasty Liu Zhang, the country's total military strength was 300,000, which could be said to be dominant in the northwest. When he learned that the Chinese army was massively attacking Liu Bei's troops in the Jing Han Dynasty, Yang Xiu took the initiative to propose that Cao Cao take over the weak Yizhou.
To enhance the strength of the country.
Afterwards, the Chinese army made a bluff, and the northwest field army rushed out of Lingzhou to test the strength of Cao Wei. Cao Cao saw that this was a plan of the Chinese army, so he left Xiahou Yuan to guard Liangzhou, with Xu Shu and Cheng Yu as advisers, and he secretly returned to Chang'an.
After returning to Chang'an, Cao Cao gathered all the ministers to discuss whether to send troops to attack the Shu Han. The ministers unanimously decided to send troops to attack the Shu Han, and finally determined the strategic policy of destroying the Shu Han. He left Cao Ren, Yang Xiu, and Chen
Qun, Man Chong, and Liu Ye jointly assisted the crown prince Cao Ang and asked Cao Ang to supervise the country. He took half of the troops and horses and secretly gathered in Hanzhong, preparing to take advantage of the Chinese army to attack Jinghan and have no time to go west for the time being, and take this opportunity to destroy the Shu Han.
Later, in Hanzhong, he met Pang Tong who came to surrender, which further strengthened Cao Cao's confidence in destroying the Shu Han. So when the battle between the Huaxia Army and the Jing Han Army broke out, he used Pang Tong as the front to fight against the Shu Han without declaring it, and planned to capture Jiameng.
Pass, knocked on the door of Shu Han, and launched a vigorous battle to destroy Shu.
From the perspective of the entire strategic layout, Cao Cao was not wrong, Pang Tong was not wrong, Yang Xiu was not wrong, and all the ministers of the Wei State were not wrong, because this is a good opportunity. This kind of opportunity can be said to be an opportunity that will never be lost again.
.
First of all, everyone underestimated the combat capabilities of the Huaxia Army, and at the same time overestimated the combat capabilities of the Jinghan Army. The Jinghan Army's army was on par with the Wei State, especially the navy, which was invincible and had broken into the Wu State several times.
Looting within the territory
. However, what everyone did not expect was that Zhuge Liang had already laid a plan. Jing Han's 100,000 navy troops surrendered without a fight, and the Chinese army's advance was too fast, causing Jing Han to be in a conflict between the Chinese army and the Wu army.
Under the attack of the enemy, the country was soon destroyed.
Secondly, in order to frighten Liu Zhang, Cao Cao got sick again. When the army approached Zitong, the general Zitong refused to surrender, which angered Cao Cao. He wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on Liu Zhang, and finally decided to massacre the city.
. Thirty thousand innocent people in Zitong were massacred. Although this caused Liu Zhang to surrender without a fight when he later attacked Chengdu, the Shu Han people after the surrender were very disgusted with the Wei army, and dozens of massacres occurred in various counties.
Cao Cao's energy was completely concentrated on Shu, and he did not expect that the Chinese army would launch a plan to seize the northwest in the middle of winter not long after they captured Jinghan, which directly led to the fall of Qin and Liang.
In Guancheng of Jiameng Pass in Yizhou, Cao Cao just received the news of the fall of Hanzhong. He felt a splitting headache. The head wind that had been tormenting him for a long time broke out again and he was bedridden.
Shenji Military Advisor Pang Tong, Huben General Xu Chu, Grand Sima Xiahou Dun, and Grand General Suo Xu all stood in front of the bed. Seeing Cao Cao's uncomfortable look, they all felt very distressed.
Cao Cao opened his eyes, looked at the four close ministers standing in front of the bed, and said bitterly: "Since I cut off the Yellow Turban, I have experienced hundreds of battles, whether it is a big battle, a small battle, failure or victory, I
I have never felt as regretful as I am today. The Shu Han was weak and easy to destroy, but I was too hasty and underestimated the combat capabilities of the Chinese army, and also overestimated the Jing army.
The great army of the Han Dynasty caused all the achievements to be defeated. Although the land of Shu is now obtained, it cannot be like Qin and Liang. The people of Shu hate me and rebel against me. If there is not three to five years, they will definitely not settle down. Hanzhong today
Falling into the hands of Gao Fei again, how embarrassing it is for me... just one month... just one month... the place I have worked hard for a long time is gone..."
"Your Majesty..." Xiahou Dun, Suo Xu, Pang Tong, and Xu Chu all knelt on the ground.
"My defeat was not a crime of war. I only blame God for helping Gao but not Cao... I lived in the northwest from the Central Plains and worked hard to restore my country. I killed countless people. However, I only existed for a few years and was already on the verge of collapse.
How can I not be heartbroken?" Cao Cao said loudly, his eyes filled with anger.
Pang Tong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the land of Shu is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If our army guards the main roads entering Sichuan, it will definitely be able to hinder the Chinese army, defend Shu, expand its power to the south, and recruit barbarians as soldiers.
It can form a confrontation with the Chinese army."
"No! I want Gao Fei to pay with blood. How did he lose it? How can he get it back again? The Chinese army has been fighting for a long time and is exhausted of men and horses. The people of Qinzhou and Liangzhou are all the people of Wei. If they know that I have returned to the army, they will definitely respond.
, and with the powerful reinforcements of the Qiang people, Cheliji will definitely send troops to attack Liangzhou. By then, our Wei state will be able to regain the lost territory!" Cao Cao shook his head and held a different opinion.
Pang Tong said: "Although what your Majesty said is reasonable, the Chinese army was able to capture Qinzhou and Liangzhou in just one month, which shows that the military front is in full swing. If we fight against the Chinese army now, I don't think it will be possible."
I’m not even sure..."
"Do you want to leave me?" Cao Cao asked Pang Tong angrily.
"I don't dare. Since I have come all the way from Jingzhou to join the Wei State, I naturally want to be loyal to Your Majesty. But I..."
"Then help me conquer the lost territory. If you can conquer the lost territory, your name will be known to the world, and I will treat you well." Cao Cao said.
At this time, a man walked in from the outside. He was a Shu Han general who had recently surrendered to the Wei State. His surname was Li, his name was Yan, and his given name was Zhengfang. He was now General Zuo of Wei State.
"Your Majesty, a sentinel has just come to report that the movement ahead has been detected. The Emperor of China, Gao Fei, is currently in Hanzhong County. Zhang Ren, the former Shuhan Zhendong General, has defected to the Chinese Army and is now General Huben, leading five thousand soldiers.
Soldiers stationed
Junshan, Huwei General Zhao Yun, the leader of the Five Tiger Generals of the Huaxia Kingdom, led five thousand elite troops to garrison Micang Mountain. The two mountains echoed each other and formed a barrier for Hanzhong County. In addition...in addition..." Li Yan was respectful as soon as he entered the door.
said.
"Speak! Stop hesitating!" Suoxu said sternly.
"Yes, General. In addition, it has been found out that all of your Majesty's clans are marching south of Hanzhong County..." Li Yandao.
After hearing these words, Cao Cao felt a splitting headache, and beads of sweat fell like rain on his forehead. He shouted "Ah" and jumped up from the bed. His head no longer hurt, and his whole body returned to normal.
, a pair of hot eyes stared at Li Yan, who was getting hot, and said sternly: "It is said that my saint
According to the order, the soldiers and horses in the back should speed up and gather outside Jiameng Pass. Suo Xu, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and Pang Tong will accompany me on the expedition. Li Yan will guard Jiameng Pass and first attack Dingjun Mountain and Micang Mountain with a force of 30,000.
We are about to capture Hanzhong and use our flying heads to pay homage to the souls of those who sacrificed their lives for our country!"
…………
Liangzhou, Shanggui.
Sima Yi sat in the town of Gui and invited Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu to come together for a meeting, as military supervisors, to discuss strategies for restoring Liangzhou.
At this time, in the prefect's mansion in Shangguang City, Taishi Ci, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu had not arrived. However, a soldier came first and said a few words to Sima Yi. Sima Yi smiled and said: "Take him with you."
Come up, if there is any news about him in the future, there is no need to report it, just bring it directly to the prefect's mansion."
The soldier turned around and went out, and after a while he pushed a person in. That person was none other than Xu Shu. At this time, Xu Shu had lost his former grace, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were torn a lot.
When Sima Yi saw that Xu Shu had been captured again, he smiled and asked: "Brother Yuanzhi, how many times is this? I admire you for your torment like this, do you still want to continue to torment?"
Xu Shu glared at Sima Yi and hated Sima Yi so much. He originally wanted to let him go, but almost every ten miles there would be a hundred cavalry waiting for him in front. He was arrested and released, and he was released.
In these short few days, even he himself couldn't remember how many times he was arrested and how many times he was let go.
"You are despicable and shameless! You promised to let me go, but you always catch me back after letting me go. You might as well kill me." Xu Shu was really angry and cursed at Sima Yi.
Sima Yi laughed and said: "I don't want to either. Every day in order to catch you, I have deployed troops within ten miles around you. I am willing to let you go, but they won't let you go, so I can only catch you and let you go."
However, if you are willing to surrender, then it will be over once and for all. How about it? Consider my suggestion."
"I said, I will never surrender!" Xu Shu said angrily.
"Well, but you don't want to die either. If you wanted to die, you would have killed yourself long ago. Brother Yuanzhi, I know that you are an ambitious person, with thousands of magic weapons hidden in your chest. Our country, China, needs people.
Why are you unwilling to surrender? Today
The general trend has fallen on the side of the Huaxia Kingdom, and the Wei Kingdom will soon be between heaven and earth. Many years later, it will only become history. You are still young and there is still a long way to go. Brother Yuanzhi is ten times more talented.
If I were in China, I would definitely be reused, which is better than..."
"Shut up, you don't want to let me go at all. You are torturing me. I don't choose to die on my own because I want to return to His Majesty and continue to advise His Majesty. I am not afraid of death!"
"Well, then I have to temporarily imprison you, and then when I settle the matter in Liangzhou, I will take you to see your Majesty and send you back to Wei in person, how about that?"
"I hope what you said is true!"
"Take it down, don't neglect it." Sima Yi waved his hand.
