"Qing has met General Yang. He has heard about the general's talents. Today, Qing is lucky to meet him!"
In the mansion, Wei Qing had given Yang Su enough face.
First of all, Yang Su is indeed the number one person in this world. Bai Shui was in his hands and was defended watertightly. Otherwise, Wei Qing would not have resorted to persuading him to surrender.
Secondly, Yang Su finally sacrificed Baishui Pass and helped them capture many generals in the pass alive. People who have made great achievements must not be treated lightly even if they want to set an example.
Thirdly, this is his second-in-command father after all, so he must be given the face he deserves.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time Yang Su and Wei Qing have met. During the previous siege battle, both sides had seen each other from a distance. However, there was no effective communication.
Therefore, this time can be regarded as their first official meeting.
In this battle, Wei Qing could be said to have won a complete victory. He killed Dongfang Bo and captured nearly 30,000 Shu troops alive. He also captured Jiufeng, Fu Jing, Deng Xian and other generals. Only Lu Guang, who realized something was wrong at the last moment, led the Eighth Route Army. Thousands of troops fled Baishui Pass.
"I have long heard of the great governor's talents. I am lucky enough to see him. I am also lucky to see the defeated general!"
Yang Su kept his posture very low, saying bluntly that he was the defeated general, and did not pretend to be a hero at all.
In history, how many people thought they had made great achievements when they rebelled and were proud of themselves! Rebellious generals are disliked by others and are proud of their achievements. How can these people end up well in the end? Xu You, this is a relatively typical example.
And like Yang Su, keeping your tail between your legs is what a smart person should do!
"General Yang, how is the defense of Jiangyou and Peicheng?" After a brief business exchange, Wei Qing took the initiative to order someone to take out a map and asked.
"Jiangyou, Peicheng?" Yang Su was confused at first hearing that these two places were still far away from them.
Even if Wei Qing's troops captured Baishui Pass, there are still Jiameng Pass, Jiange and other places ahead of them, followed by Jiangyou and Peicheng.
However, when he looked up in the direction Wei Qing pointed, Yang Su was immediately shocked and his face changed drastically, "You can't do it, Commander-in-Chief. If we go this way, the whole army will be wiped out!"
As a commander at the top of his game, Wei Qing clearly displayed the map in front of Yang Su. How could Yang Su not see what Wei Qing was thinking!
From the north to Chengdu, there are two plank roads, Micang Road and Jinniu Road, but both roads eventually converge at Jianmen Pass, so Jianmen Pass is a road into Shu.
In addition to Jianmen Pass, there is a continuous mountain called Yinping Mountain to the west of Jianmen Pass. Although there are no major roads in the mountains, there are trails. The scary thing is that the journey to Shu is shorter by walking through Yinping Mountain than by walking through Jianmen Pass.
During the Three Kingdoms era, Deng Ai used this method to achieve unparalleled achievements!
Since Yinping is so important, didn't Zhuge Liang tell Jiang Wei to hold it?
The answer, of course, is to explain.
Zhuge Liang once said: The defense of Shu should be at Yinping. Therefore, there are troops stationed in Yinping. There are two specific places. One is Qiaotou north of Yinping, probably near Yinping County. One is Jiangyou south of Yinping. In this case, guarding both ends of Yinping Mountain is equivalent to guarding the mountain.
Of these two defensive points, Jiangyou is the most important. There is Fucheng to the south of Jiangyou, and Fucheng can directly reach Hanzhong and Jiangyou through waterways. After Jiang Wan became seriously ill, he stayed in Fucheng to direct the overall situation. Therefore, if something happens to Jiangyou, Fucheng's heavy troops can quickly provide support to ensure that Yinping's defense is foolproof.
However, Deng Ai and his party succeeded in the successful attack in the end. It can only be said that the team was too stretched and they could not carry them! Jiang Wei's teammates behind him made various tricks.
Zhuge Zhan hesitated for a moment whether to defend the pass or the city. However, as soon as he hesitated, Jiangyou Pass panicked. The Jiangyou garrison general named Ma Miao saw that the Wei army was pressing on the border and the reinforcements from Peicheng were delayed, so he led his army to surrender to Tian Zhang.
As soon as Jiangyou was lost, the Wei army entered the river valley plain area like mercury pouring down the ground. Plain warfare has always been the strength of the Wei army. As soon as the forward troops of both sides engaged, the Shu army began to lose!
After that, Zhuge Zhan failed to guard the pass and instead launched a charge. It didn't matter if he died, which directly led to the loss of Mianzhu and Luocheng in the rear. Only then was Deng Ai beaten all the way to Chengdu.
However, as long as Jiang Wei's teammates were a little stronger, with Jiangyou, Peicheng, Mianzhu, and Luocheng surrounded by dangerous areas, Deng Ai, who was weak and short of food, would be a dead end in crossing Motian Ridge!
After all, the direct route from Yinping to Shu is not what the Shu Han directly needs. Building one more road will only increase their defense pressure. In this case, there is no need to maintain the Jinggu connecting Guangwu and Baishui, let alone build an official road across Motian Ridge. Letting the entire defense line focus on one point at Baishui Pass will be more in line with the defensive needs of the Shu Han.
And under such circumstances, this is why it is said that after crossing Motian Ridge, Deng Aijun was definitely in a state of exhaustion and lack of food! If the four places ahead were guarded for a few more days, Deng Ai could declare them gone, and there was no possibility of returning the same way!
However, Yang Su did not think that the Liu Che Group would make the same low-level mistakes as the Liu Chan Group. Therefore, Yang Su tried his best to stop it at this time.
He had just surrendered, and his future and even that of his entire family depended on the Jin army. If Wei Qing tried to make some showy moves at this time, Yang Su, an old man like him, would not be able to bear the fright.
"Grand Governor, although Jiangyou has been in disrepair for a long time, this place is already difficult and dangerous, and Peicheng has been an important town in Shu since ancient times. With various defense facilities complete, it may be difficult to move down quickly!" Yang Su explained.
After all, Wei Qing cannot be as lucky as Deng Ai. The enemy in front is Jiang Wei, who is doing his best, and the rest, from Liu Chan to the generals, are taking turns to attack.
The closer to Chengdu, the more Liu Che's cronies, and Yang Su knew that although Xu Shiji had arrived in Jiangcheng before, after the remaining Jiaozhou reinforcements returned, they once again adjusted the defense system in various places in Shu!
In Yang Su's opinion, this road is no different from a dead end!
"General Yang, don't worry. Although Qing is determined to march here with 20,000 elite soldiers, he still has doubts and it is difficult to make a decision! Now that Duke Yang has said this, it is difficult for him to have this intention anymore!" Wei Qing explained with a smile!
Wei Qing, of course, also knew that marching from here would be a dead end! Even if the army has passed, if it fails to break the city in half a month, it will still be a dead end.
However, it is a dead end at this time, but after a while, it may not be a dead end!
