Chapter 980: Sword Pavilion Ambush


"We can't continue this stalemate now.

It's better to return to Shu first and wait until we have an opportunity to attack the north later."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and finally made up his mind.

He looked at his generals with a gloomy expression. , said to them in a heavy tone.

After all, the opponent's army now far outnumbers our own, and the attacker and defender are often at a disadvantage.

The attacker has to transport food and set up camps, but the defender can reduce these and rely on the terrain. and city defense to deal with the attackers.

What's more, the war between the two countries is mainly based on military strength, but more importantly, it is the comprehensive national strength.

Today, Shuhan only has one state, Yizhou.

Its strength can be said to be the weakest among the three parties, Cao Wei and Soochow.

Cao Wei is not as vast as Cao Wei.

If it weren't for the easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack terrain of Bashu and the steepness of the Shu road, I'm afraid Cao Wei would have brought his army to kill them.

After listening to what the prime minister said, the surrounding generals nodded with heavy expressions.

Wei Yanche's expression on the side became a little heavier.

After all, he would be dissatisfied with retreating his troops in one fell swoop.

Zhuge Liang was sitting in his seat and seemed to have noticed Wei Yan's dissatisfaction.

He gently shook the feather fan in his hand, looked at Wei Yan in front of him calmly, and said to these Wei Yan in a calm and unbreakable tone: "Long" At this time, Wei Yan heard Zhuge Liang calling him, and quickly came back from his thoughts.

He looked at Zhuge Liang with some doubts, and asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice: "Prime Minister, you are now called the last general, but what's the point?

Something?"

"I order you to take your own troops to Jiange immediately."

Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan in front of him, looking at him with some confusion, gently stroking his beard, and ordered Wei Yan with a serious face.

"Jiange" Wei Yan suddenly showed a trace of hesitation on his face after hearing Zhuge Liang's words, and said in a somewhat surprised tone.

Jiange has a very advantageous geographical location.

It is located at the junction of Guan, Han and northwest.

To the north, you can directly attack Xiliang, to the east, you can directly capture Guan, and to the south, you can retreat to Han.

The land of Bashu is the most important in the entire Shu Han. military important location.

So much so that Zhuge Liang discovered this place and moved all the people here to the Han Dynasty, and established a military city checkpoint here, which became one of the most important military locations in the Shu Han Dynasty.

In the late Shu Han Dynasty, Jiang Wei led his army and was stationed in the Jiange area, waiting for the opportunity to make the northern expedition.

The geographical location of Jiange is also very desirable.

Its geography is like a sword.

Its checkpoint is very narrow, like the tip of the sword peak.

It slowly enlarges towards the north, like a sword.

The surrounding mountains It is very dangerous and it is difficult for ordinary armies to take advantage of the number of troops here.

When Li Bai later traveled to Shu, he also came to Jiange, lamented the difficulty of the road to Shu, marveled at the danger of the Jiange pass, and finally wrote about the difficulty of the road to Shu.

The Jiange Pavilion is majestic and Cuiwei.

One man can guard the gate and ten thousand people cannot open it.

This can be said to be the best praise for the Jiange Pavilion.

"If our army retreats now, I'm afraid the enemy will get the news and will definitely send troops to pursue our army.

You go to Jiange first and set up ambush in the two mountains of Jiange.

If you retreat, I will make Cao Wei lose something." " Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan silently, gently shook the fan in his hand, and said to Wei Yan in a heavy tone.

"When the time comes, you ambush the soldiers in the mountains and prepare rolling logs and stones.

If Cao Wei sends troops to pursue them, when you hear my order, quickly lay down the rolling stones and logs to block the enemy's retreat.

When the time comes, The enemy has no way to retreat, and our army can destroy the enemy."

Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan silently, a little worried that his arrangements were unreasonable, so he ordered Wei Yan in a calm tone.

"Prime Minister, please rest assured that the general will obey the Prime Minister's arrangements and do everything well."

Wei Yan looked calmly at Zhuge Liang, who was sitting in front of him, with deep fear and fear hidden in his eyes.

Finally, He replied with clasped fists and walked quickly outside the military tent.

"Chang" Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Yan's leaving figure in front of him, sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice.

Zhuge Liang knew Wei Yan well and knew that he was a proud man.

To be honest, his temper was somewhat similar to that of Guan Yu.

With such a character, if no one suppressed him in the future, he would probably develop the habit of being defiant.

As a general, he needed to Regulating the various generals, lieutenants and soldiers under his command requires division of labor and cooperation, but such a habit cannot exist.

Zhuge Liang is even more afraid.

No one will be able to suppress him by then.

He is defiant and holds military power.

I am afraid that Zhuge Liang shook his head helplessly, looked at the people gathered around him, looked at himself with a strange expression, and immediately regained his calm expression.

"Jiang Wei, Xiang Yi, you two go ahead and arrange your soldiers and prepare to retreat."

Zhuge Liang looked at the two young men in front of him with a calm expression and said in a calm tone.

"General, obey the order."

After listening to Zhuge Liang's instructions, the two of them looked a little respectful and clasped their fists in salute to Zhuge Liang, then carefully returned to their positions.

"Zhang Yi" Zhuge Liang looked to the side again, General Nian, who had a somewhat resolute look on his face, was wearing a suit of armor, and had a serious tone, and said softly.

"The general is here."

Zhang Yi stood up from his position and said to Zhuge Liang in a respectful tone.

"You will lead a small group of soldiers to Cao's army camp.

Then spread the news that our army is about to retreat and lure the enemy to pursue our army."

Zhuge Liang's eyes showed a sinister look and his tone was sneered.

He ordered Zhang Yi in front of him.

"Zhang Yi, Wu Yi and you two will lead your troops to escort our army to retreat."

Zhuge Liang looked at his generals with a calm expression and said in a quiet tone.

Zhuge Liang then ordered the soldiers who came to report the news, and ordered Wang Ping and Wu Ban to give up the attack on Chencang, and then go to Jiange to assist Wei Yan in setting up an ambush and wait for Wei Jun's hook.

Everything was ready.

In the evening, when the sunlight in the sky was dim, Zhuge Liang felt that it was time to start preparing to lure Cao Wei's army to attack him.

In Cao Wei's military camp, Cao Zhen was sitting in the main seat with a cold expression.

Now that the Xiqiang army had retreated, after receiving the news, he immediately led the army out of the city to set up camp, preparing to deal with Fang Geliang's Shu Han army.

In Cao Jun's military camp, Bai Rong, Guo Zhun, Xia Houxian, Xiang Cheng, Wang Shuang, Cao Shuang, Hou Cheng, Wang Zhen and others were sitting on both sides of the tent in turn.

At this time, they looked at the person sitting in the main position with a somewhat calm expression.

Great Sima Cao Zhen.

"Now that the Xiqiang army has retreated, it is a good time for our army to deal with the Shu Han rebels.

You are all wise men, but do you have any way to deal with the Shu Han army?"

Cao Zhen was already celebrating the New Year at this time, and he was slightly prosperous.

He sat down He asked the generals under him with a kind smile and a soft tone in his position.

"General, we have just received the news.

Now Zhuge Liang is preparing to lead his troops to withdraw to Western Shu."

At this time, I saw a soldier outside coming to the military tent with a serious face.

He spoke with a heavy tone to the person sitting in the main seat.

Cao Zhen said.

"The Shu army is retreating.

It seems that the Xiqiang army is retreating.

I'm afraid Zhuge Liang knows that he can't defeat us.

I'm afraid he is afraid."

Cao Zhen's son, Cao Shuang, who was on the side, heard such words, and his face suddenly showed a hint of laughter, and his tone He said proudly to his father, Cao Zhen.

"Haha, Zhuge Liang is indeed a villager after he retreated.

Da Sima escaped as soon as he left the city."

Hou Cheng, Wang Zhen and others on the side heard the news and immediately burst into laughter, speaking in a flattering tone to the master sitting in the chair.

Cao Zhen said.

On the other hand, Bai Rong, Guo Zhun and Xiang Cheng were sitting with heavy expressions on their faces, looking calmly at the compliments and laughter of the people around them, and shook their heads helplessly.

After all, they don't think that Zhuge Liang is really afraid of Cao Zhen and can assist Liu Bei in separatist rule.

He has no ability to achieve such success
