Chapter 127 Liu Chen Shocks Jiang Wei (Second Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)
"Da da da!!!"
On the relatively wide mountain road, large groups of people with banners lined up one after another, countless in number, heading straight for Yang'an Pass.
It was Jiang Wei's army.
Although they fought a fierce battle with the Wei army at Jiangchuankou, and although they were in a very sorry state along the way.
However, they still managed to escape the encirclement and pursuit of 70,000 to 80,000 Wei troops led by Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu.
Yangping Pass is just ahead.
Whether general or soldier, no one could suppress their joy, so much so that the fatigue accumulated in their bodies seemed to disappear, and they felt refreshed.
Under the banner bearing the character "姜" (Jiang), which fluttered in the wind.
Jiang Wei felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders and chatted amiably with Lai Zhong and others around him. Yang'an Pass held a large stockpile of military supplies, serving as his prepared frontline for a counterattack. His army could resupply on the spot once they arrived at Yang'an Pass.
His soldiers are all veterans of countless battles, tough and strong, undaunted by hardship, and can recover after half a month of rest.
In Hanzhong, Lecheng and Hancheng are well-fortified. Jiang Bin and Wang Han are both loyal and brave generals, so defending the cities will not be difficult.
The situation will change soon.
Half an hour later, Jiang Wei and his men arrived at Yang'an Pass. The gates were open, and Fu Jin, the garrison commander of Yang'an Pass, led more than a hundred men out of the pass to welcome the general. Among them was Chen Dao, the valiant warrior who had killed He Sui.
Amidst their respect, the group couldn't hide their delight and admiration.
Upon hearing that Fu Qian had come to greet him, Jiang Wei immediately led several hundred men on horseback forward.
"General," Fu Qian led his men in bowing to Jiang Wei, then sincerely said, "General, you are truly a divine being."
The Battle of Tazhong. In this world, perhaps only Jiang Wei could lead the Han army to Yang'an Pass, despite being surrounded and intercepted by the two commanders Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu.
If it were him, he would only be trapped in despair and waiting to die.
Jiang Wei's talent was unmatched in Sichuan and Chongqing.
Jiang Wei remained calm, first dismounting and helping Fu to his feet, then said, "General Fu, this is just a battle, nothing more. Yang'an Pass is close to Hanzhong, and no one understands the situation in Hanzhong better than you. You know the current situation in Hanzhong—"
Explain to me. Where is General Chiang?
Jiang Wei turned his head and looked around, but did not see Jiang Shu. A look of confusion appeared on his face.
The same was true for Lai Zhong and others who served as military advisors to Jiang Wei.
Jiang Shu is a deputy general, how come he didn't come to greet us? Is he perhaps ill?
"Here he comes." Fu Qian thought to himself, then took a deep breath and had Director Chen step forward. With a serious expression, he told Jiang Wei what had happened. Finally, he said to the shocked Jiang Wei, "General, I am incompetent and failed to see the wickedness in Jiang Shu's heart. If it weren't for the guidance of the Prince of Beidi, Yang'an Pass would certainly not have been saved."
Afterwards, he told Jiang Wei about the situation in Hanzhong. Currently, Hanzhong, Lezhong, and Huangjinwei are still in the hands of the Han army, but the rest have been lost.
These were all empty cities or military strongholds, and the population of Hanzhong was preserved.
Cao Wei general Hu Lie led 10,000 elite troops to garrison outside Yang'an Pass, spying on the pass.
Those around Jiang Wei were so shocked that their tongues seemed to have left their own, and they couldn't utter a word.
this!!!!
Many of them followed Jiang Wei back to Chengdu. Most of them had seen Liu Chen, and even those who hadn't, at least had ears.
Anyone in the Han Dynasty with ears would know about the arrogant and infamous Prince Liu Chen of the North.
Liu Chen, despite his cunning, foresaw Jiang Shu's treachery and thus saved Yang'an Pass.
They also left a large amount of supplies for Yang'an Pass, Hancheng, Lecheng, and Huangjinwei in advance. Now that the three generals are able to hold Hanzhong, it must be thanks to the efforts of the King of Beidi.
Especially Yang'an Pass.
This place was stockpiled with a large amount of military supplies and was the forward position reserved by Jiang Wei for a counterattack.
It is very close to Hanzhong, and you can reach the legendary Dingjun Mountain, the place where Fazheng and Huang Zhong made their names, and the tomb of Zhuge Liang, by taking a small path.
It was in this battle that Emperor Zhaolie beheaded Xiahou Yuan, severely damaging the Wei army militarily.
Moreover, when Emperor Zhaolie fought the Battle of Hanzhong, Hanzhong was entirely in the hands of Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He. Now, Jiang Wei still holds the cities of Han and Le, as well as the Golden Enclosure.
That's the situation, of course. But how the troops are deployed depends on the wits and courage of both sides. After all, there will never be another Xiahou Yuan who was killed while repairing deer antlers.
Xiahou Yuan, the General with Deer Antlers, is a unique figure throughout history.
But if we lose Yang'an Pass, then we can forget about Hanzhong.
Even if Huang Jinwei still held the cities of Han and Le, he was now completely isolated and awaited being trapped and killed.
Even later passes like Hanshou Pass could not be held, because the passes lacked sufficient supplies to support Jiang Wei's troops in Tazhong.
They could only retreat to Jiange and rely on the provisions of Fucheng.
In short, Yang'an Pass was a matter of life and death; losing it would drastically worsen the situation, while gaining it would allow for both offensive and defensive maneuvers.
But Jiang Shu actually...
Upon realizing this, everyone around Jiang Wei was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. They looked at each other and saw relief in each other's eyes.
Then, they couldn't help but think of Liu Chen again, their emotions becoming complicated.
At first glance, this man is indeed handsome. No wonder he is the grandson of Zhaolie, a dignified ruler. But upon closer inspection, he is truly all show and no substance, rotten to the core, and utterly repulsive.
Looking at it now, it's practically gold!
Why is that?
To endure?
They filth themselves with dirty water, conceal their talents, and wait for the right opportunity to act.
It's this very movement right now.
So what are Liu Chen's plans?
He probably harbors ambitions to seize the throne.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Many people are starting to worry about the situation in Chengdu.
Judging from Liu Chen's performance and the old emperor's incompetence, it would certainly be a blessing for the Han Dynasty if Liu Chen could ascend the throne safely.
But that's clearly impossible. The old emperor is still alive, and Liu Chen has a crown prince above him, along with two older, ambitious brothers.
Liu Chen wanted to rise to power and then cause trouble in Chengdu.
Zhong Hui's army is currently out in force and is already extremely difficult to deal with. If Liu Chen were to rebel in Chengdu, the rear would be completely overrun.
this!!!!!
What should we do?
Everyone turned to look in the direction of Chengdu, sensing an impending storm.
Not good.
What everyone else wanted, Jiang Wei certainly wanted as well. Even after experiencing countless storms and facing seemingly insurmountable odds, he was still able to lead his troops to safety. The great general of the Han Dynasty, whom Fu had described as "truly a divine being," couldn't help but be stunned for a long time.
But his reaction was much faster than the others. He looked up at everyone's faces and sighed, "Gentlemen, have you forgotten how I was scared away by Huang Hao after entering Chengdu and facing such a mess? We can't control what's going on in Chengdu, whether it's good or bad."
"Let's leave it to fate. We'll just focus on dealing with Zhong Hui."
He paused, then looked at Director Chen and said, "I was forced to leave Chengdu and return to the army. But the Prince of Beidi did a good job, better than me. He killed He Sui and weakened Qiao Zhou's power. Moreover, without Yang'an Pass, the Han Dynasty would be in grave danger. Why not entrust Chengdu to the Prince of Beidi?"
After settling the matter, Jiang Wei's eyes revealed an expression of appreciation, and he asked Director Chen, "Brave Warrior Chen, how did you kill He Sui back then? It was truly gratifying. Please tell me in detail."
