In early 234, the Prime Minister led an army of more than 100,000, and begged all the assets of Shu Han, and launched the last Northern Expedition.
Shu Han has not sent troops so vigorously since the Northern Expedition!
The rise and fall of the Han Dynasty will make another move!
Let’s review the previous several troops sent by Shu Han:
In the spring of 228, the Prime Minister made the first Northern Expedition, and the Prime Minister led the main force to attack Qishan. Zhao Yun set up suspicious troops in Xigu . As a result, Ma Su failed to execute the military order and was defeated by Zhang He in Jieting, and the Shu army was forced to withdraw.
In the winter of 228, the Prime Minister made his second northern expedition, leaving Chencang Road, besieging Chencang , attacking for more than 20 days, and the Sichuan army retreated.
229, the Prime Minister made his third Northern Expedition, and Guo Huai led his troops to rescue him. He was forced to retreat by the Prime Minister's main force. Chen Shi took advantage of the situation to capture the two counties of Wudu and Yinping.
Autumn in the autumn of 230, Cao Ruizhao Grand Sima Cao Zhen and General Sima Yi attacked Shu. Because Hanzhong was difficult and dangerous, the rainy season was the plank road was washed away by rain, Cao Zhen was forced to withdraw his troops, and Wei Yan counterattacked on the western front and defeated Guo Huai.
231, the Prime Minister defeated Sima Yi for the fifth Northern Expedition, but Li Yan did not continue to transport grain, deceived the Prime Minister, and the Shu army retreated, but when retreating, he shot and killed Zhang He who was pursuing.
5 attacks, but the results were not great. It was too difficult to point to the Prime Minister’s own strength!
But as the Prime Minister said in Memorial Hall of the Master
north to settle the Central Plains, so as to exhaust the poor, eliminate evil spirits, restore the Han Dynasty, and return to the old capital.
This is the duty of repaying the late emperor and loyal to His Majesty!
The Prime Minister of the Sixth Northern Expedition gave up the routine plan of attacking from Qishan Road and then cut off the Long Mountains, and went directly to Baoxi Road and to attack Guanzhong .
introduces the Baoxie Road.
Baoxie Road starts from Baogukou in the south and goes to Xiegukou in the north, and walks along the valleys of the Han River Han River tributaries Baoshui and the Weishui tributaries tributaries silence water (now Shitou River ).
During the first Northern Expedition, Zhao Yun had gone out to Jigu as a suspect soldier. When he withdrew his troops, he was forced to set fire to the plank road for hundreds of miles because Cao Zhen pursued him too fiercely.
For this reason, the Prime Minister trained troops, reclaimed farmland, and accumulated food and grass in Hanzhong, and sent people to repair the plank roads as soon as possible.
The southern section of Baoxie Road is the Baoshui River Valley, and the northern section is the Xishui River Valley. There is a Jigu that can be stationed between the two valleys.
Walking from Jigu to the northeast is Baoxi Road. When the Shu soldiers were repairing the plank road, they found that there was a path taken by locals in the northwest: Suiyang Road.
Prime Minister ordered people to broaden the Suiyang Road to facilitate the passage of the army (this path played an important role in the dispute between Yang Yi and Wei Yan)
But Baoxie and the two waters were turbulent and turbulent, so they could not sail at all (Ten thousand people made Baoxie Road for more than 500 miles, and the fruits were close to each other, and the water was turbulent and stones could not be harvested)
Because the Shu army retreated in several northern expeditions, in order to solve the problem of grain transportation, the Prime Minister also worked hard and finally made a great invention: Liuma (in the spring of the 12th year, Liang learned that the public came out of the Xigu and transported by Liuma)
I have to admire the Prime Minister, internal affairs, military affairs, He is proficient in diplomacy and can also invent (brightness is good at thinking, profit and loss continuous crossbow , wooden ox flow horse, all of which are their intentions)
In order to avoid some people saying that we always like to blow on Shu Han, here we also insert inventors of Wei State : Ma Jun
Ma Jun's most representative inventions: restore guide ; improve the heavy hauling machine that operates at that time; invent a keel water truck that draws water from low places to high ground; create a rotating stone generator that can continuously launch stones, as far as hundreds of steps; install wooden primary wheels under the puppet, called "water turning and hundreds of plays".
Well, Ma Jun also modified Zhuge Crossbow (another weapon of mass destruction invented by the prime minister)
How effective is the flow horse?
For this Northern Expedition, the Han army dispatched the largest corps in history, but was no longer troubled by food problems.
April, the Shu army led the camp to the north.
After leaving Xigu, the Prime Minister sent troops to seize Wuzhangyuan , ten kilometers northwest of Xigu.
Wuzhangyuan is very distinctive. Although it is a highland, the top is flat and you can cultivate farming.
Why did the Prime Minister choose Wuzhangyuan as the base?
This high platform can be used to farm. In addition to using plank roads and wooden oxen and horses to transport grain from the rear, farming yields in the local area are the most economical way.
Shu army has strict military discipline and no offense. gets along well with the local people of Wei, presenting a harmonious scene of "The people are safe and the army is selfless"
The largest scale of troops was sent; various methods to ensure the supply of food
Various measures show that the Prime Minister is ready to fight a protracted war with the Wei army, and this time the Shu army will not withdraw easily!
For the Prime Minister's dispatch of troops, the entire Wei State reflected: "The Emperor Worrysms"
Cao Wei The highest-level generals did not get any benefits from the Prime Minister:
The Grand Sima Cao Zhen took the initiative and braved the heavy rain and walked Ziwu Road , and left shortly after he came back.
Carriage General Zhang He was shot and killed by the Shu army while pursuing the Shu army.
General Sima Yi was defeated by the Prime Minister on the front battlefield and has never dared to take the initiative to fight the Prime Minister.
comments to the prime minister at that time: From the land of Ba and Shu in the morning, it was a land of one province, and a great country in the ground, with one nine of its soldiers and people. However, the tribute to the great Wu, resisted the northern enemy, and had farming and fighting troops, the criminal law was neat, and tens of thousands of infantrymen were promoted to the Qishan Mountains, and they were ambitious to drink Mahe and Luo. Zhongda is a land ten times the world, relying on the annexed people, holding the city, holding the elite, and having no intention of a bird's enemy, just to protect yourself, so that the Kongming will go there. If this person does not perish, he will end his ambitions and think about it for years and day by day, then Liang and Yong will not dispel the armor, and China will not release the saddle, and the situation of victory or defeat will be decided.
The Prime Minister relied on his own to make the most powerful country in the Three Kingdoms unable to break the armor or put down his saddle! What added fuel to the fire of Wei State was that in order to cooperate with the Prime Minister's actions, Sun Quan also launched the largest northern expedition of Wu State, attacking Wei State in three ways.
11, from Lu Xun , Zhuge Jin leads the army from Xiakou, and goes up the Han River to attack Xiangyang ;
HThe other way is Sun Shao as the main general and Zhang Cheng as the deputy general, enter Guangling County , go up the small and medium water canal, and march towards Huaiyin .
main force is Sun Quan personally led an army of 100,000, and set out from Ruxukou to capture Hefei.
Shu and Wu launched a large-scale attack almost at the same time this time, which has never happened after the founding of Cao Wei!
but Cao Rui was not panicked, calm and calm, and dispatched troops.
Liu Ye has had such comments on Cao Rui : Qin Shihuang . The talent of the Han Xiaowu is insignificant.
Several successors of the Cao family are really capable!
At that time, the field corps of the Wei State were mainly distributed in several major war zones: Youzhou, Yongliang, Jingzhou , Huainan, and the Central Army adapted to the situation. This time, the three major war zones were attacked at the same time. How should the Central Army stationed in the areas around 期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩期彩
Cao Rui decided to dispatched the Sichuan guards Qin Lang supervised 20,000 infantry and cavalry, and was under the Emperor Jiedu ( Qin Lang As a general of the royal family, he had just led the Central Army to fight in the Northern Expedition Xianbei to win a big victory)
and Cao Rui himself led the army to personally fight to meet Sun Quan (We will write it separately later on Sun Quan's journey)
Qin Lang rushed to Guanzhong at night after receiving the order. What is Sima Yi, the Prime Minister's real opponent, doing?
King Sima Xuan has been very busy over the years, and he himself is also a great talent in internal affairs.
dispatched Jizhou 5000 villages on , practice war formations in autumn and winter, and cultivate fields and mulberry trees in spring and summer.Therefore, the Guanzhong army has more than the country, and the bandits are ready.
opened into a national canal, building Linjin Pond from Chencang to Huaili , attracting more than 3,000 hectares of irrigation in the land of irrigation. The country has not slacked off even if it is enriched!
After the Prime Minister took down Wuzhangyuan, he immediately began to change his tricks.
A good fighter will lead people but not people.
You have to mobilize others, and you cannot let others mobilize you, so that you can take the initiative in the war.
Shu army began to cross the Wei River and control the Beiyuan north of the Wei River.
There are two benefits to taking North Origin
1. It can cut off the connection between Longyou and Guanzhong. Although the Shu army does not have more troops to launch an offensive against Longxi , it can incite Qiang people to invade and shake the rule of Wei.
2. Longyou was cut off, Sima Yi must be saved, and he is responsible for defending the territory, otherwise it would be equivalent to taking the initiative to give up the two prefectures of Yongliang.
Next, it depends on how Sima Yi responds. . . . . .
