Whether it was open or hidden, the Wei State's plan to attack Shu was in an orderly manner. By February of the sixth year of Xing'an, the preliminary preparations for the Wei army's attack on Shu had been completed. The troops that should be mobilized and the food that should be raised had been in place. Now, only the emperor Cao Liang's decree was left.

Cao Liang did not let the Wei soldiers who were full of fighting spirit wait for a long time. After all, Cao Liang knew the truth that one thing would be declining again and again. Now the morale of the Wei army's legions is at the highest point. If the battle is delayed for a long time, it will have a great impact on the morale of the Wei army.

Therefore, Cao Liang would choose to issue the order to go to the expedition at the most appropriate time.

Of course, Cao Liang prepared three teams, but it does not mean that he will use the attacking mode of three teams at the same time. Instead, he will take the lead in attacking one team and wait for an opportunity to act. In Go terms, this is called a test player. First, see how the opponent reacts, then look at the actual situation and make corresponding adjustments.

This time, Cao Liang chose Deng Ai from the North Road. Among the three armies, Deng Ai from the North Road prepared the longest and most sufficiently. Compared with the middle road, the enemy forces on the North Road are less and more scattered, and there are many conflicts between the generals of the Shu army, which is an important point that the Wei army can use.

Regardless of whether Deng Ai can open up the situation on the northern line, Cao Liang has the next strategic deployment, but it will be fine-tuned with the changes of the Shu army. However, the overall offensive thinking will not change much.

After receiving this order that was called out for a long time, a hint of undetectable excitement flashed through Deng Ai's eyes. It seemed that Cao Liang had chosen him as the first direction of the main attack, and the responsibility and mission fell on his shoulders.

Although this is just an ordinary decree and order, with a short speech, but only ten figures are rare, Deng Ai knows its weight, the vanguard of attacking Shu, Deng Ai takes the lead in his expedition this time. From now on, he needs to forget all his previous achievements and achievements. Starting from scratch, if he succeeds, he will become famous in history. If he fails, he will be detrimental for thousands of years. All his merits, demerits and criticisms will be accomplished in one battle.

Deng Ai immediately summoned Deputy Governor Qian Hong, Ma Long and General Yue Cavalry Wen Yang to first ascend General Yang Bo, General Left Guard Geng Biao, General Rui Cavalry Tian Zhang, General Clan Shizan to discuss matters and read out His Majesty Cao Liang's decree.

In fact, Deng Ai had already clarified the route of the march a long time ago, and had repeatedly discussed with Qian Hong and Ma Long. Overall, the Wei army would be divided into five groups, each battalion was one. General Ma Long commanded the Rui Cavalry Battalion and 5,000 garrison troops to leave Didao, heading straight to Gan Song and Dazhong, and fought with Zhong Hui's main force in Dazhong. General Qian Hong commanded the Left Guard Battalion and 5,000 garrison troops to move south from Qishan to capture Wujie Street and Yinping Bridgehead. The goal was to cut off the connection between Dazhong and Hanzhong.

The remaining three routes were unified under Deng Ai. Yueqi camp left the Xigu, first climbed the camp out of Luogu, and fell into the camp out of Ziwu Valley, and attacked Hanzhong.

Deng Ai started planning this roadmap after guarding Guanlong. It was a long-term plan. Of course, there was still a big gap between the final determination and the initial idea. Deng Ai also made continuous adjustments based on the changes in the situation, hoping to find the most ideal and suitable solution.

The biggest variable in this is that Jiang Wei left the Hanzhong frontline. Deng Ai has always regarded Jiang Wei as an imaginary enemy. Deng Ai has formulated strategies and tactics that are mostly targeting Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei's departure has made the entire Hanzhong battle full of variables.

Although Jiang Wei had already deployed the defense plan for Hanzhong and Yinping Wudu when he left. In Hanzhong, Jiang Wei designed a plan to gather troops and gather valleys, luring the enemy into deep, and using the city and dangerous barriers to protect the Wei army, making it difficult to move, and finally achieved the goal of retreating without fighting.

Jiang Wei has Jiang Wei's plan, while Deng Ai has Deng Ai's response. It is not difficult to see that Jiang Wei has learned Sima Yi's tricks secretly, and he can't stand it or delay the fight. Perhaps Jiang Wei suffered a lot from the Wei army, so he thought of this way to cure others with his own way.

Of course, Deng Ai would not be stumped by Jiang Wei's defense plan. The reason why Sima Yi dared to come to the Shu army to play the retreat tactic was because the Wei army had strong support and supply capabilities. The poor army of Shu Han was exhausted, and their comprehensive strength was destined to be unable to fight a protracted war. Therefore, Sima Yi dared to delay the war indefinitely until Zhuge Liang was exhausted.

Now Jiang Wei wants to play the same trick, but what he overlooks is the huge gap in strength between Wei and Shu. Deng Ai has already hoarded enough military rations to consume in the Guanlong area for two years, and the subsequent grain and grass materials are still being replenished continuously. Therefore, in terms of grain and grass materials reserves, Deng Ai's preparations are far better than those of Zhuge Liang back then.

With strong logistics supply capabilities to ensure that Deng Ai is certainly confident in Jiang Wei's plan to gather troops and gather valleys. Not to mention that the Wei army has strong offensive capabilities, a steep fortress city like Yangping Pass in Lecheng, Seoul may not be able to withstand the Wei army's fierce attack. Even if they can withstand it, the Wei army has the strength to fight a protracted war of attrition. At that time, Deng Ai wants Jiang Wei to see whether the Wei army that sieges collapsed first or the Shu army that defended the city collapsed first?

At this point, Deng Ai has enough self-confidence. In order to avoid the failure of Zhuge Liang, Deng Ai deliberately spent more energy on food and grass supply. In the past few years, Deng Ai has raised a lot of food and grass supplies in order to ensure that the need to attack Shu will not lose its chain at critical moments.

Jiang Wei wanted to fight a protracted war with him, haha, then he really made a mistake in his wishful thinking.

Of course, Deng Ai was not afraid of fighting a protracted war, but if the battle against Shu could be decided quickly, he would be even more happy. Moreover, for now, with such a strong strength in Wei, he still needs to fight with the Shu army to fight a protracted war, which is somewhat a bit of a loss!

Therefore, Deng Ai is more inclined to take the initiative and actively attack methods in terms of offensive strategies. This time, Deng Ai is a big fighter and is not afraid that the Shu army will defeat each one. Therefore, from this strategic layout, it can be seen that Deng Ai is still full of confidence in the attack on Shu.

Of course, this is also related to the current Hanzhong Governor Yan Yu. Since Yan Yu, in order to seize power from Jiang Wei, he has transferred all the Shu troops outside to Nanzheng. This act of self-destructing the Great Wall is enough to make Deng Ai smile secretly while formulating a tactical plan, and he has become more calm.
