The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 504

Cao Ren, Yu Jin, Sima Yi, and the others knew very well that Longyou was in danger this time. Zhang Wu, the king of the country, was in charge of the expedition, and he had the right time, place, and people. Even Cao Cao's resurrection would have little chance of winning.

But we can't help it. According to the spies' report, the governor of Longxi has not surrendered and is waiting for reinforcements. If reinforcements are not sent this time, who will defend the city loyally for Wei in the future?
So Cao Ren sent Zhang He, Cao Xiu, and Guo Huai to set off quickly with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry to rescue Longxi County.Since the Weishui Avenue had been blocked by Zhang Wu, Zhang He had no choice but to take a detour to Longxi via Jieting.

When Zhang He led his troops to Jieting, he found that there was already a troop stationed on Jieting Avenue. The banner was the invincible King of Chu, Zhang Wu.

It turned out that Zhang Wu and Fazheng had expected that the Wei army would go to the street pavilion to rescue Longxi, so Zhang Wu asked Zhang Fei and Fazheng to lead the main force to block the Weishui Avenue. In the street kiosk.

Zhang Wu didn't believe it anymore, with him personally guarding the street pavilion, would this history repeat itself?
In the original book, Ma Di's fall to the street pavilion was certainly due to Ma Di's own reasons, but in fact Zhuge Liang was also to blame.

The most important point of being a leader is to know people and be good at assignments. In fact, Zhuge Liang has done a good job in this point and has discovered many talents. However, Zhuge Liang has a fatal flaw, which is also a big problem within the Shu Han, that is, factional struggles are very serious. fierce.

After Liu Bei entered Shu, the Shu Han was divided into the Veteran School represented by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei; the Jingzhou School represented by Zhuge Liang and Xiang Lang; and the Yizhou School represented by Fazheng, Wu Yi, Li Yan and others.Among them, Yizhou School is also divided into Dongzhou School and Xichuan School.

Yizhou is such a small place, and so many factions want to fight for their interests. As the ruler of power, Zhuge Liang must maintain the status of the Jingzhou faction, so Zhuge Liang is more inclined to reuse talents from Jingzhou.

It was still a troubled time at that time, and the Shu Han did not implement the nine-rank Zhongzheng system. If you want to promote and reuse a person, you must first have credit, otherwise others will not accept it.Guarding the Jieting was a very important part of the battle to capture Longyou, and it was related to whether the first Northern Expedition could succeed in the end. Therefore, if you defend the Jieting, you will definitely have a great contribution.

Ma Di is not only the Jingzhou faction whose root is Miaohong, but also has a very good personal relationship with Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang regards him as his own younger brother, and Zhuge Liang also plans to train Ma Di as his successor.

Therefore, such a chance of meritorious service was given to Ma Di who had never led an army alone. If Ma Di finally won the victory, then Ma Di would be the next prime minister of Shu Han after Zhuge Liang's death.

So Zhuge Liang gave up Wei Yan, the most suitable general to lead the army to guard the street pavilion, and chose Ma Di to join the army, because Zhuge Liang didn't want Wei Yan to make any more contributions.Wei Yan, who was also from the Jingzhou faction, had different political views with Zhuge Liang, and repeatedly proposed to attack Chang'an from the Meridian Valley. Zhuge Liang was very annoying to him.
In order to let Ma Di make contributions, Zhuge Liang also arranged for a very cautious general Wang Ping to serve as Ma Di's deputy general. As a result, Ma Di was self-righteous and ignored Wang Ping's suggestion. Leading to defeat and killing.

Although Jieting is an important traffic road from Guanzhong to Liangzhou and Longyou, it is located in the Liupan Mountains. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and there is a lack of water, which is not conducive to the people's living. Therefore, no city was built, only one Very dilapidated small village.

The Loess Plateau has always been short of water, especially in the mountains. In the past, everyone took the relatively wide and easy-to-walk Weishui Chencang Road.

At the beginning, Zhuge Liang said before Ma Di set out that although the street pavilion is small, it has a lot of connections. There is no city wall or danger here, so it is extremely difficult to guard.

When Ma Su came to the street pavilion, he actually laughed and said: "How dare Wei soldiers come to this remote place in the mountains!"

It can be seen that the street pavilion is really very remote, no one comes at ordinary times, it is a place where birds don't shit.

Zhuge Liang originally planned to ask Ma Su to block Zhang Yun at Jieting for a period of time, so as to buy him time to attack Mei County. As long as he takes down Mei County, Chang'an can be broken. This time the Northern Expedition will be considered a complete success. Maybe the big man still has a chance to revive .

We look back at history and think that Ma Su was arrogant and did not listen to Wang Ping's advice. He insisted on stationing his army on the mountain, which led to the water source being cut off and the army defeated.In fact, based on Ma Di's background, can he think highly of Wang Ping?

Ma Di was born in a top family in Jingzhou. He was familiar with military books since he was a child. Even Zhuge Liang often asked him for his opinion. The opinion of a familiar martial artist?So the more Wang Ping talked, the more he refused to listen. Finally, he got annoyed and asked Wang Ping to lead 5000 people to station on the road alone.

Some people would say, it would be better to let Wang Ping lead the army alone!

But Wang Ping's official position at that time was too small to be the commander-in-chief of a large army. Jiang Weigang couldn't surrender, Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi couldn't keep up in Xiegu, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were brave but not handsome.

In addition, there are two other people who can guard the street pavilion, one is Wei Yan and the other is Wu Yi.

But Wei Yan was a little disobedient, and Wu Yi was from the Yizhou faction, and Zhuge Liang didn't want to use him either.

It's all the fault of political factionalism!
Now that Zhang Wu personally led the troops to guard the street pavilion, of course he would not make that mistake again. He set up camp at the main entrance of the Fifth Road, and ordered the soldiers to cut down trees and build a fortress.

Of course, the high mountain in the south had to be used. Wei Yan led [-] soldiers to station on the mountain, carrying a large number of bows and crossbows, and built several catapults.

If the Wei army attacked the Jieting fortress, the Chu army on the mountain would shoot arrows and throw stones condescendingly; Zhao Yun will also lead the army to attack and stab Wei Jun's chrysanthemum.

If the Wei army didn't attack, then Zhang Wu wouldn't come out. It depends on who consumes more energy. Anyway, Zhang Wu doesn't lack food, and he also controls the water source.

The vanguard Cao Xiu led the cavalry to Jieting, and saw that a fortress had been built on the main road ahead, blocking the way, and Zhang Wu was guarding here himself, Cao Xiu did not dare to attack, so he had to wait for the infantry behind to arrive.

After Guo Huai and Zhang Yun arrived, they discussed for a long time but there was no good solution, because humans are not birds, they have no wings, and if they block the road, you have to kill the person blocking the road if you want to pass.

However, if Zhang Wu could be killed so easily, would he still wait until today?
Although there are small roads that can be bypassed in other places, people can pass, but horses cannot pass, or grain and grass cannot be transported.

Although Zhang He has more troops than Zhang Wu, Zhang Wu is the defender and occupies a favorable location. His command is the world's first elite military guard battalion. Not only is the invincible Zhang Wu guarding here, but also generals Zhao Yun and Wei Yan, as well as [-] cavalry.

Zhang Xi said that he opened the wrong dungeon. If Ma Di and Wang Ping's Jieting dungeon is difficult level, then Zhang Wu, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan's Jieting dungeon is hell level.Although the two sides happened to be three against three, no matter whether Zhang Yun, Cao Xiu or Guo Huai, they felt that the three of them could not beat the three on the opposite side.
