The war in Chencang was a battle between Han and Wei with all their strength, and it also touched the heartstrings of everyone in the world.
Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, came to Fu County, Guanghan County to station himself after the spring plowing. The Fu River was connected in all directions, and all the grain and materials from Shu were transported to Chencang through here, so he came to supervise the situation in person.
No coincidence.
Emperor Wei Cao Rui also supervised the transfer of five thousand Luoyang troops to Hongnong County, and personally supervised the transfer of grain and materials from Guandong to Guanzhong to ensure logistics for the Yongliang ministries.
Relatively speaking, he is under greater pressure.
Although the road to Shu has changed, the Han Dynasty has prepared for this war for nearly three years, and many affairs are in order; and since the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty, the results have been remarkable, and all parties have long been united under many interests. Emperor Liu Chan's biggest purpose here , it is nothing more than personal experience and actions to show that we are going through difficult times together with the soldiers and the people, so as to share the same hatred of the enemy.
But Cao Rui is not like that.
In the face of repeated defeats, Wei Daihan's theory of destiny has been questioned. In order to let the powerful families of Guandong fight against the national crisis, he did not hesitate to delegate a lot of power. As a result, the common people in various states and counties could not bear to be treated by the rich The turbulence of embezzlement.
And he also has to make decisions about the war.
They were not from the Yongliang tribes, but from the counties of Hetao and the three eastern counties of Jingzhou that were far away in Monan.
Liu Bao of the Southern Huns rebelled and joined forces with the Tuoba Tribe of Xianbei in an attempt to dominate Monan for personal gain. It was already more than two years old. Even though the governor of Bingzhou and the general Tian Yu who protected the Huns had led troops to Yunzhong County very early, There has been no redress for a long time.
Make bricks without straw.
Although Tian Yu had a good strategy to defeat the barbarians, the Wei State did not have the military or national power for him to implement it.
Due to the lack of troops and food, they could only hold their troops in the clouds, which was almost a disguised abandonment of Shuofang and Wuyuan County.
Cao Rui had no choice about this.
The people in Guandong have done their best to support the war in Guanzhong, so how can they still have the energy to supply the Loop?
Moreover, not long after the restoration of the four counties of Hetao, considering the interests, sending a large army to defeat Liu Bao of the Southern Xiongnu and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei was not worth the gain. Looking at the Qin and Han Dynasties, we know that without the support of strong national power, the Central Plains It is almost impossible for the dynasty to control the grassland.
In fact, some people in Luoyang Temple also made suggestions to solve the border troubles in a way that did not harm the country's strength.
One is to drive away tigers and devour wolves.
For example, the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei was first called Naisuotou. When Tuoba Liwei first came to power, he was under the wings of his wife, Dou Bin, the leader of the Luhui tribe.
Therefore, some people suggested that the Xianbei Moluhui tribe who settled in Dingxiang County could be driven to attack.
Because after Tuoba Liwei became independent, he also betrayed Dou Bin.
But when Cao Rui asked Man Chong for advice, he was rejected.
"Those Huru are only seeking profit but not showing any kindness. It is normal for them to join together and separate. If our country drives out the Luhui tribe, I am afraid that instead of accepting the favor of our Wei country, they will fight with the Tuoba tribe." If we unite, we will bring disaster to Northern Xinjiang."
Man Chong said this.
Cao Rui was told to stop thinking about it.
In fact, he also knew that on the grasslands where the law of the jungle was believed to be the strongest, it was almost impossible to expect the Xianbei or Southern Xiongnu tribes to obey orders when the Wei state was too tired to go on thousands-mile expeditions.
Another kind of advice was to recruit dead soldiers with a lot of money and assassinate Liu Bao and Tuoba Liwei.
Due to the vastness of the grassland and the completely different customs of the nomadic tribes, the personal safety of their leaders is not strictly guarded, nor can they be very strict.
You may not be unable to succeed as an assassin.
But Cao Rui did not dare to adopt this advice.
The chances of assassinating Liu Bao and Tuoba Liwei at the same time are too small!
If one was stabbed to death and the other survived, and the two originally divided parts were merged into one, it would probably cause greater harm to the northern frontier of Wei State.
Therefore, he could only ask Tian Yu to guard Yunzhong County to prevent the hinterland of Bingzhou and Youzhou from being invaded, and then make plans after the war in Guanzhong was over.
As for the war in the three eastern counties, Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou who had moved his troops to Shangyong County, asked whether he wanted to march to the Golden Garrison in Hanzhong County to cope with the war in Guanzhong.
This was decided last year.
Hu Zhi asked questions knowingly because he was not optimistic about the outcome of the war.
In other words, the entire Wei State is not optimistic about the results that the Wei army can achieve by attacking Hanzhong County from the East Three Commanderies.
When Cao Zhen was still alive, Sima Yi, who was guarding Jingyu, had tried it. And at that time, Sima Yi was far superior to Hu Zhi today in terms of military strength and material supplies.
If we continue our journey now, the final result will be nothing more than a waste of food and materials and fatigued soldiers.
However, Wang Chang, the general who conquered the south and was currently stationed in Wancheng, proposed another plan.
On the grounds that Jiangdong was now incapable of invasion and had resumed trade with the state of Wei, he asked Hu Zhi to guard Jingzhou alone, while he himself led his troops into Guanzhong and went to Qixian to work with Wang Sheng, Qian Hong and other troops. Attack Anding County.
The method of "encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao" forced the Han army to divide its troops into Longdong to share the pressure on Chencang.
Wang Chang was not the first person to propose this idea.
Cao Rui refused without even thinking about it.
Without him, he gave Sima Yi full power to make decisions about the war in Yongliang, knowing that he would do better for him.
Since Sima Yi, who had an army of hundreds of thousands, only invaded Longdong with a small group of soldiers and horses, rather than entering Longdong with overwhelming force, he must have other concerns.
In this case, why should he, who is far behind, interfere with the arrangements of the commander-in-chief on the front line?
Furthermore, he had already transferred several Jingzhou soldiers and horses into Guanzhong before, and there was no need to use them again to increase the supply burden of the Guanzhong army.
After much deliberation, he finally let Hu Zhi try to advance.
Just give it a try.
Even if there is no hope and the army returns without success, it will at least cause Hanzhong County, which is against Shu, more trouble in troop deployment and food consumption.
.............
Sun Quan, who had been living in Wuchang Palace since Liao Shi occupied Linhe County and rebelled, was also paying close attention to the war in Chencang.
I am also anxiously waiting for the results.
It's not that he didn't have the strength to mobilize troops yet and still had extravagant hopes of profiting from it, but that he didn't want the Han army to win.
Yes, things are so weird.
Sometimes, the greatest malice comes not from enemies, but from allies.
As an ally of the Han Dynasty, the country of Wu, which had suffered in the past, did not want the Han Dynasty to send good news again.
But when you think about it, it’s easy to understand.
For today's Jiangdong, the war between Han and Wei is indistinguishable, and continuous consumption is the best result.
Because of this situation, Jiangdong, whose national power has been seriously damaged, can restore its foundation and regain the time when the Three Kingdoms were in power.
However, the Han army's offensive has already begun, and there is no way there will be victory or defeat.
Therefore, he expected that the Han army would be defeated and return.
At least, if the Han army is defeated, it can still defend Guanzhong by virtue of its physical victory, making Wei unable to capture Longfu Liangzhou; but if the Han army wins, can the Wei army still be able to defend Guanzhong?
The answer is obvious.
