In Yang Su's view, Zhou Yafu will definitely try his best to rescue Peicheng, and what Yang Xuangan should do now is to capture the dangerous areas from Jiange to Peicheng as soon as possible, and build fortresses on these dangerous areas. , to block Zhou Yafu's reinforcements.
As long as Yang Xuangan can persist until the Jin army captures Peicheng, the hundreds of thousands of Shu troops in Zhou Yafu's hands, now the largest military force under Liu Che, will completely cut off their escape route.
Li Jing and Wei Qing's 300,000-strong army were staring at them, and their retreat was cut off. As long as they were willing to be patient, there were many ways to force this Shu army to surrender and defeat the enemy without a fight. To force Zhou Yafu's troops to surrender at the minimum cost is much greater than to risk a lot of losses to forcibly defeat this army!
If Yang Xuangan follows this path, the credit he will get in the end will definitely not be small!
……………………
Chengdu!
Meng Da looked gloomy. Now, his situation can be said to be getting more difficult!
Liu Che used a fishing method before and lured out many surrender factions. Then he went straight to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. He picked a few role models and dealt harsh blows. The rest were also punished. Those who deserved were trimmed and those who deserved to be demoted. He was demoted, which dealt a huge blow to the capitulationists.
What worries him recently is that with the continuous defeats of the Shu army in the frontline theater, Liu Che's attitude towards the capitulationists has become more and more rude.
Now seeing the capitulation faction continue to weaken, Mengda gradually began to feel fear in his heart. He knew very well that the day Liu Che failed would be the day the nine members of the Meng family would be executed. Liu Che might even use Liu Che's usual tough methods to cut him into pieces and suffer the most extreme pain in the world before letting him die. Of course, it was really true. By that time, he will also end his life early.
If the Shu army can win, Liu Che might still be able to let the surrender faction survive.
But if Liu Che loses, then the capitulation faction will eventually end up dead without a burial place. With Liu Che's usual style, he would definitely take them away at the last moment.
Therefore, although news of the Jin army's continuous breakthroughs on the front line continued to come, Meng Da, as the main figure of the surrender faction, not only did not feel the slightest joy, but the fear in his heart grew day by day.
And as the fear in the heart grows day by day, it will evolve into a kind of madness.
"General Meng, we have reached this point, and if we continue to cut off the situation, will we suffer chaos instead?" An inexplicable voice began to sound from behind the screen.
However, Meng Da was not shocked at all, as if he had known for a long time that there was a person hidden behind the screen.
"If it comes to pass, I want the post of deputy governor of Yizhou!" Meng Da struggled to say.
The price offered by Meng Da was actually not out of the blue. Although the position of Deputy Governor of Yizhou was indeed very important, if what he wanted to do next was successful, he would still be barely worthy of this position!
Moreover, Mengda doesn’t have that much time to delay any longer!
With Liu Che's personality, if he takes them away first when there is no hope of victory, then they will lose even the hope of a final struggle!
"Okay, but General Meng has to hurry up. If Peicheng is lost, then the price will not be there!" The voice in the darkness pondered for a moment before speaking!
You get what you pay for, but the same thing will depreciate in different times!
If Peicheng is still in the hands of the Shu army, what Meng Da will do next will indeed be worth the price! But if the companionship is in the hands of the Jin army, then what Mengda has to do will not be worth the price!
If Peicheng is really in the hands of the Jin army, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Zhou Yafu's hands will be no different than turtles in the urn. At that time, the situation of Liu Che's forces can be imagined.
Therefore, there is a fundamental difference in the meaning of whether Mengda did what he should do before Peicheng was captured or after it was captured!
"Deputy Governor of Yizhou! Your Excellency can actually take charge?" Meng Da said, seemingly surprised.
The deputy governor of a state, such a position, even if placed in the Jin army, is definitely a high-level person among the top people. The selection of such a position cannot be made by just a few random people.
Strictly speaking, the only person in the Jin army who can truly be the master of this position is Li Xiang.
However, after all, during the war, everything can be discussed. If he can really exert enough value, it may not be impossible for Li Jing, as the governor of the conquest of Shu, to temporarily rise to power.
If the matter of urgency is not a matter of fundamental principle, then it is not completely non-negotiable.
"Although I cannot be the master, the deputy governor has been ordered by the master and has the right to act expediently!" The voice in the darkness said solemnly.
It's not like he was lying to Meng Da. Li Xiang did say this order!
If it's really worth enough, the highest they can promise is the position of deputy governor.
The deputy governor of a state, such a position, even if it is placed in the Jin army, is definitely a high-ranking person among the high-ranking officials. But after all, he is still a deputy governor, not a full governor of a state.
How many times can one subtitle depreciate the value of this position?
There can only be one governor-general in a state. But if it is a deputy governor of a state, not one can exist at the same time, and it is not a problem to even directly install two or three!
Therefore, whether the position of deputy governor of a state is well-deserved or whether it is just an honorary position that may not have real power depends on Li Xiang's mood!
Therefore, Li Xiang doesn't mind allowing his subordinates to be more relaxed in their activities!
After hearing the answer from that voice, Meng Da felt relieved in advance!
Deputy Governor, Deputy Governor of the Floating Water House, the rank of this position may not be very high, but the power held by the person in this position cannot be underestimated.
The deputy governor of the Floating Water House means that this person is also at the top of the Floating Water House! Such a person, if King Jin had hinted before, was indeed qualified to make him the promise of deputy governor of a state.
Therefore, although the other party is suspected of trying to make a big pie, at least he is not deceiving him!
And whether he can turn the pie painted by the other party into something real depends on his next actions!
What's more, Meng Da doesn't have that much choice anymore. He must act as soon as possible!
That old man Liu Che was really treacherous. After a lot of fishing and law enforcement, he had basically defrauded the surrendering faction, and he was just waiting to deal with it later!
