Chapter 117: Standing in all directions (1)
There is such a man who has won the morale of the army and is also a man with both wisdom and courage. Although Wujun was besieged by Zhou Chu, Zhu Yi, and Zhongli Mu, the top three generals of Wu, they always stood firm and remained unmoved.
The war lasted for more than half a month, and the siege of the Wu army began to loosen. The rebellion and the continuous rampage of Shanyue in Wu were much more serious than the monarchs and ministers of the Wu Kingdom imagined. In fact, Shanyue was still Shanyue, and the bandits were just bandits. It was just that the generals and soldiers sent by Eastern Wu were incomparable to the past, and the troops did not increase. The inability to make up for the quality led to successive failures, making Shanyue and the bandits even more arrogant.
Jingzhou and Jiaozhou were integrated and difficult to capture. The Wei army's defenses were all solid. Poor Jiangdong's patriots were full of passion but had no gains. Instead, they suffered from internal losses. In desperation, they had to withdraw their troops and temporarily rectify the internal troubles. In addition to leaving troops to defend their territory, the Wu army, which failed to conquer the territory, went to Wu to pacify the Shanyue and the bandits.
The foreign races in the northern border and the foreign races in the Western Regions invaded the Wei Kingdom and the Shu Han gave the Eastern Wu time to breathe. Although the situation in the world was in chaos, Sima Zhao of Wei Kingdom and Liu Chan of Shu Han were still in the hearts. Even if the chaos in the country was in chaos, the people of Wu could not recover, otherwise it would become a major concern.
The alien races restrained Shu and Wei, and Shu and Wei also used alien races to restrain Dongwu. Shanyue, which had not been eliminated for decades in the establishment of the Sun clan in Jiangdong, was the "weapon" used by the Wei and Shu Han. Cao Wei had stationed troops in Jianye and Wu County, and the powerful navy sent envoys and meticulous workers to contact the mainland of Wu and the bandits. It was easy for Shu Han to occupy Jingzhou and Jiaozhou to infiltrate Wu and it was even more convenient. Shanyue itself was a militant. Without Shu Han and Cao Wei, it was a rebellion. With the "instructions" and "reinforcements" of the two countries, it was even more open to compete with the people of Wu.
On the other hand, even if the main force of the Eastern Wu comes, he will have to worry about it with three points, hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting himself by eight hundred. The rebellion of more than 100,000 people in Shanyue wanted to destroy it by force. Not to mention the loss of its own, it is not possible to deal with one or two months in a month, and it is still unknown whether it is accidentally paid for his life.
The Wu Kingdom was busy pacifying Shanyue and the bandits, and in a short period of time, he was no longer able to counterattack Wei and Shu Han. Therefore, the focus of the world was on the battle between Shu Han and Cao Wei and foreign races. The foreign races in the northern border used the speed of cavalry to almost divide the entire Hebei and Liaodong into several large battlefields that stretched hundreds of miles across, and then the infantry of the foreign race gradually eroded various cities and counties. Among them, Sima Wang's army was trapped in Youzhou, while Zhong Hui's life and death were uncertain in Bingzhou.
The two command systems in the north were cut off by the alien race. Although the remaining Wei army was in groups, they lacked unified command and sufficient military strength, but they could only take one step and completely fell into the control of the alien race. The Wei army in Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and even Luoyang sent troops north, but the effect was not good. In order to seize Jiangdong and garrison the border, the troops in the Central Plains were almost empty. Even if they could divide some troops, the combat power was quite weak. Including the generals, the troops were much worse than the troops in Jiangdong and the north.
Sima Zhao gave the instructions to support Bingzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou first, curb the situation of foreign races continuing to move south, and then steadily fight back. This strategy is very stable and is in line with the current situation of Cao Wei. A large number of military supplies began to return to the north, and all the Wei army in Central Plains and Hebei needed to do was to buy time and stand firm for the main troops of Wei in Hebei.
Unfortunately, Sima Zhao's plan of wishful thinking was so smart, but it was unpredictable for God's will. The general of the north, Zhong Hui, broke through Bingzhou and fled back to Luoyang. That night, Luoyang was captured and occupied by foreign races. At the same time, the entire Bingzhou also fell into the hands of foreign races. A large number of Wei people were brutally killed, and some young and strong Wei Kingdom were forced to join the army and become the combat power of foreign races.
The behind-the-scenes pusher finally came to the stage. The person who led the alien race into the Central Plains to compete in the world was Zhong Hui and Zhong Shiji!
When the Han Dynasty was weak, Cao Cao turned the tide and unified the north. The Han emperor was in Xuchang and had his own court officials. Cao Cao himself lived in Yecheng for a long time, and those who stayed in Xuchang were just some intermediate officials. When Sima and his son were on guard, things were very different. Even if they went to the expedition, the Sima family did not dare to leave the Cao family emperor in the capital. Among them, the emperor was deposed and killed. This shows the difference between Sima Yi and Cao Cao.
Zhong Hui's performance cannot be said to be unsatisfactory, especially before entering Shu, it was almost completely clear. Even if there were any mistakes in dealing with the Shu army, compared with previous contributions, Zhong Hui's winning rate is still the top figure among the generals of the Cao Wei. By the way, Sima Zhao's record cannot be compared with Zhong Hui. Instead, he repeatedly beat Zhong Hui because of several failures, which made Zhong Hui arrogant and narrow-minded tolerate it?
From Sima Zhao's perspective, Zhong Hui's talent is understandable, but his ambitions are worrying. Your situation and actions have gone too far, touching my bottom line. As your leader, who will you knock?
The military strength of the world is in the hands of Sima Zhao. Zhong Hui cannot even use some of his thoughts in the huge Cao Wei. Therefore, Sima Zhao reassuredly handed over the defense of the Western Front to Zhong Hui to arrange it, and left behind elite soldiers to assist Zhong Hui.
From Zhuge Xu onwards, Zhong Hui realized the importance of alien races. When Shu Han won many battles with alien races, it made Zhong Hui feel even more itchy. The alien races were regarded as wild beasts by the Han people, but if they were able to win over themselves, they would be no more than ten times stronger than the military power granted by the Sima family?!
Zhong Hui is not a hesitant person. If you make a decision in your heart, it is a secret planning and implementation. The Zuoxian King Liu Bao and the five Xiongnu tribes were able to withdraw from the border, and Zhong Hui's design and arrangement were of great significance, or even one-hand arrangement. The alien race would not get close to a Han man for no reason, but the five Xiongnu tribes who had been dealing with the Wei people for a long time as a bridge. It is not difficult to supplement with Zhong Hui's great talent and strategy.
For the five Xiongnu tribes, if Zhong Hui had not helped, the five Xiongnu tribes would have been destroyed by the attacks of the Wei army. This was the benefactor of the Xiongnu tribe and even more a hero. At this point, Zhonghui was worshipped by the Xiongnu people as a god and bowed down to his subordinates. At that time, the Wei Kingdom was warned, so the Xiongnu people naturally didn't know what methods Zhong Hui used on the other side, but the kindness could not be repaid for several lifetimes.
