Chapter 1900 The Pen of God
"Sima Lun became the son-in-law in Shu?" Cao Liang was reviewing memorials sent from various places. He read the latest news from Shu and said with great interest.
The princess of Shu Kingdom married Sima Lun, which was also a very sensational thing in Shu Kingdom. Later, Liu Chan gave Sima Lun a mansion and betrothed the princess to him. Now Sima Lun is in the high position of General Cavalry and has the status of a prince consort, and has become a figure in Shu Han Dynasty.
Huan Fan smiled slightly and said, "Everyone in the world says that the Lord of Shu Liu Chan is stupid and incompetent, but this move alone shows his cleverness. Using the position of the prince consort to win over Sima Lun and separate Jiang Wei, which shows that Liu Chan does not trust Jiang Wei very much."
Cao Liang smiled slightly and said, "Jiang Wei has his own troops and will naturally be suspicious of Liu Chan. This is a good thing for us. The endless internal struggle of Shu will sooner or later consume their power. The imperial edict was sent to Deng Ai, and Huang Hao is a piece worth using us. With him in Liu Chan's ears, he would blow the wind from time to time. No matter how capable Jiang Wei is, he will be difficult to do anything, and he will even have life worries. If this piece is used, it will be no less than 100,000 soldiers."
Huan Fan said: "Your Majesty said very well. This time, Jiang Wei returned to the court and wanted to kill Huang Hao, but he was unable to protect him because Liu Chan privately. Huang Hao is an absolute villain. Jiang Wei's life may not be so smooth from now on."
Jiang Wei was the only general in Shu that could compete with the Wei army. He was the only person who continued to hold up the banner of the Northern Expedition after Zhuge Liang. If Shu was not Jiang Wei was holding on, it would be hard to imagine how long it would last.
However, in this situation, the Shu Kingdom could not fully support Jiang Wei. The emperor's suspicion, the hostility of his colleagues, and the conspiracy and plot, Jiang Wei's survival in Shu Kingdom was extremely difficult. He was a god-like opponent in front of him, but behind him was a teammate like a pig. To be honest, Cao Liang felt a little sympathetic to Jiang Wei. If Jiang Wei did not surrender to Shu Kingdom but chose to stay in Wei Kingdom, he would probably become a famous general who was as close as Deng Ai.
Because of his ability alone, Jiang Wei has always been inferior to Deng Ai. It was because Deng Ai was able to rank among the 64 generals in ancient and modern times because he was backing a big tree and had the meritorious contribution of destroying Shu. Jiang Wei was naturally not able to win this honor as a loser.
If two people get along with each other, it is really an unknown number to which one achieves better.
But no one can predict the world. Deng Ai was originally a member of Xinye, Jingzhou. If it were not for the defeat of Dangyang, Deng Ai might have become a general of Shu. Jiang Wei was originally from Wei. By chance, he was forced to surrender to Shu. He was appreciated and promoted by Zhuge Liang and became the only person in the late Shu Kingdom who advocated the Northern Expedition. The so-called Northern Expedition of Shu Kingdom was ultimately taken over by a man born and raised by Wei. This has to be said that history is a joke.
Cao Liang said: "In order to prevent Huang Hao's murder, Jiang Wei must not dare to stay in Chengdu for a long time. The biggest possibility is to go to Dazhong to farm and go to Qishan again, and issue an order to Deng Ai to strengthen his prevention. Jiang Wei will not die for a day and his intention to fight the Northern Expedition will continue."
Huan Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wrong. This time, Jiang Wei did not return to Hanzhong, nor did he go to Dazhong. Instead, he was transferred to Yong'an and was also the governor of Bazhou, Yong'an. Yan Yu, who was formerly the governor of Yong'an, was transferred to Hanzhong and changed his position to Hanzhong. This was equivalent to the exchange of defense areas between Jiang Wei and Yan Yu."
"Oh? Something happened?" Cao Liang was a little surprised. According to the course of history, Jiang Wei had never left the front line of Hanzhong. After he had failed to kill Huang Hao, he avoided the disaster. Now Jiang Wei has actually gone to Yong'an. What's the situation?
Jiang Wei is the pillar of Shu Kingdom. Although he is called "Does the Disaster", Jiang Wei holds the power of Shu Kingdom's military power. Is it that difficult to destroy Huang Hao? The reason why Jiang Wei hides and refuses to send a secret is just to give Liu Chan a face. If he is serious, Jiang Wei holds heavy troops and deposes the emperor and then establishes it is just a matter of raising hands, let alone killing a eunuch.
But what Jiang Wei knew better was that once he did this, he would embark on a road of no return. Zhuge Ke of Wu and Sima Yi of Wei were the lessons of the past. More importantly, with the national strength of Shu, he could not withstand such troubles at all. Any coup could cause Shu to be damaged and headed towards the abyss of destruction.
Therefore, Jiang Wei chose to stay away from the whirlpool of political struggle, but what surprised Cao Liang was that Jiang Wei did not return to Hanzhong or the front line of the Northern Expedition, but came to Yong'an, the eastern gate of Shu Kingdom.
The course of history has long been overturned, so Cao Liang could not ask Jiang Wei to go to Dazhong according to the established script. Since Jiang Wei has come to Yong'an, it proves that Jiang Wei has an extremely keen sense of military smell.
Originally, Yong'an was just a secondary defense center for Shu. Although Wu and Shu were in harmony, they had their own ulterior motives since Zhuge Liang rebuilt the Shu-Wu Alliance, both sides had not used any more wars for decades, and could barely be able to be consistent with the outside world. Therefore, although Yong'an is extremely important to Shu and is also the second largest defense zone in Shu after Hanzhong, its garrison has always been less than 10,000 troops. Compared with the scale of Hanzhong's 100,000 troops, Yong'an's defense forces are much weaker.
However, as Jiang Weidong transferred to Yong'an, the military focus of Shu's country also shifted from Hanzhong to Yong'an, and new changes occurred in Shu's strategic defense system.
Although the Wei army only achieved local victory in Huainan and had not yet launched the battle to cross the river to destroy Wu, Jiang Wei seemed to have noticed something that would have made such a major strategic adjustment.
Once the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, the Wei army could go up the Yangtze River and follow the route of Liu Bei's entry into Shu and open up the second front to attack Shu.
If Shu still sticks to the rules and gathers heavy troops in Hanzhong, then strategic defense will be greatly passive, and Jiang Wei's mobilization is extremely forward-looking, avoiding the defense gap on the eastern road of the Shu army.
Hanzhong and Yong'an are thousands of miles apart. If you wait until Yong'an is attacked before dispatching troops from Hanzhong, it will be that far water will not quench your near thirst. Once the Wei army conquered Yong'an, the entire Yizhou will be without any danger. The Wei army can advance west along the river and take Bazhou and Chengdu directly. The collapse of Shu is about to happen.
After Cao Liang took a closer look, he nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Jiang Wei really does not disappoint the reputation of the number one general of Shu. This operation can be regarded as a stroke of magic."
