Lecheng is leaning against Xingshi Mountain in the north and Mianshui in the south. The city is four miles away. Compared with Nanzheng City, which is twelve miles away, Lecheng can only be regarded as a small city.

But it is precisely because of the small city and the important geographical location that Jiang Wei chose it as the three major defensive fortresses in Hanzhong.

As the saying goes, a big city is defenseless, which means that the bigger the city, the more difficult it is to defend. If 10,000 people are used to guard a four-mile city, it is basically enough. However, if 10,000 people are used to guard a 12-mile city, it will be obviously insufficient for troops and it will be difficult to deploy defenses.

And more importantly, building a city with four miles square and a city with twelve miles square are completely different concepts. The gap between manpower and material resources invested is huge, and even more than three cities are built.

Therefore, in Jiang Wei's defense plan, Nan Zheng simply gave up the largest city in Hanzhong. After all, Nan Zheng's city wall was built with rammed earth and could not resist the attack of the Wei army's catapult. The cost of upgrading the Nan Zheng's city wall was unbearable to Shu Kingdom.

Moreover, as the county town and the center of Hanzhong, Nanzheng was naturally built in the most convenient place for water and land transportation to facilitate the management of the counties under its jurisdiction. In terms of terrain, Nanzheng was naturally not at the most dangerous place. Therefore, Jiang Wei eventually abandoned Nanzheng and chose Seoul Lecheng and Yangping Pass as the fortresses to be defended. At the same time, the walls of the three fortresses were upgraded to brick and stone masonry in order to prevent the Wei army from scattering.

However, the upgrade and renovation of these three passes is not as expensive as building a Nanzheng City. Jiang Wei used the most economical method to solve the three core fortresses of the Hanzhong defense system, and built the Seoul Lecheng Yangping Pass as solid as a rock.

Jiang Wei believed that no matter how powerful the Wei army's catapult was, it would not be able to break through these solid fortresses. As long as the three fortresses could stand tall in Hanzhong, the Wei army would not be able to move forward any further.

As for Nanzheng, it was already insignificant for Jiang Wei. It didn't matter if he gave it to the Wei army for free. The entire Hanzhong area would implement a policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, and would not leave a grain of food for the Wei army.

Now is the time of spring famine, and the food and supplies that the Wei army relies on do not need to be transported from Guanzhong. The hardships of the Qinling Mountains are the biggest challenge for the Wei army's logistics supply. As long as the Shu army can find ways to delay the war, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to the Wei army, and eventually fall into a shortage of food and grass, and have to withdraw its troops back to Guanzhong.

Jiang Wei wanted the Wei army to taste the pain they had been suffering. Wasn’t the Shu army’s repeated northern expeditions just trapped in food and grass? If there were sufficient food and grass supply, the Northern expedition might have been successful long ago.

However, the steepness of the Qinling Mountains and the bumpy roads of the ancient roads made the Shu army breathless from beginning to end. The only way to solve the problem of food and grass is to fight quickly. Unfortunately, the Wei army has always adopted a strategy of defending steadily and not fighting, and dragged the Shu army to death.

Therefore, when Jiang Wei deployed the defense system in Hanzhong, he also completely used the defense strategies of the Wei people to lure the enemy into depth and defend without fighting. The Qinling Mountains were a nightmare existence for the Shu army, and it would not be much friendly to the Wei army. As long as the Wei army attacked Shu and entered Hanzhong, they would face the same situation. As long as the Shu army delayed the war indefinitely, it could completely drag down the Wei army.

With his own way, he still used his body. For Jiang Wei, such a defensive method was almost unsolvable. Prime Minister Zhuge made every move and used his troops like a god, but he never failed to break through this dead end. Jiang Wei had made countless attempts, all of which ended in failure. The mountains and Qinling Mountains were like natural dangers that lie in front of them, and they could not pass through them.

Jiang Wei wanted to see what kind of supernatural skills the Wei army had to solve this dead end now.

If it weren't for the idiot Yan Yu, who destroyed the guerrilla plan arranged by Jiang Wei in order to fight for power and profit, the entire battle in Hanzhong would have been more relaxed and the possibility of success would be greater.

However, even if the guerrilla army was abandoned on the periphery, the Wei army reduced some difficulties, Jiang Wei's own defense plan relies on the defense of the three fortresses. The guerrilla army is in a relatively secondary position. Whether their existence will not affect the overall situation in Hanzhong.

Whether the Shu army can defend to Hanzhong depends entirely on Jiang Bin Wang Shefu Qian and the other three. Jiang Wei has high hopes for them. The situation in Yong'an is now tight, and Jiang Wei cannot leave Yong'an yet, so Jiang Wei basically has the full power to handle the defense of Hanzhong.

As for Yan Yu, it was the ears of the deaf - the decorations. He could play a very little role in Hanzhong. Even if Yan Yu tried hard to prove his existence and concentrated all the sporadic troops in Nanzheng, those who really understood it knew that Yan Yu's move was just a blind man lighting a lamp - wasting fuel. He took 10,000 people to guard Nanzheng, which was completely useless.

However, Yan Yu's seizure of power this time was also recognized by the court, so Jiang Wei agreed. As long as he could not hurt the foundation of Hanzhong's defense system, it would be wise for Jiang Wei to make some concessions. Yan Yu was also the governor of Hanzhong. After arriving in Hanzhong, he jumped up and down, eager to take the power of Hanzhong's troops into his hands.

Naturally, Jiang Bin and others would not agree. After all, they have always been Jiang Wei's confidants, and the entire Hanzhong defense system was built by Jiang Wei's efforts. How could it be possible to allow Yan Yu to destroy it? Therefore, Jiang Bin, Wang She, Fu Qian, and the other three guarded their respective city passes and ignored all Yan Yu's actions.

However, Yan Yu still found an opportunity to seize power. He could not seize the three fortresses, but the wandering soldiers and brave men on the periphery would not be able to handle it. Now the situation in Hanzhong has formed the separation of four powers. The three fortresses, coupled with Yan Yu's Nanzheng City, constitutes the new defense system in Hanzhong.

Wang She was stationed in Lecheng as a military supervisor. Among the three fortresses, he was actually the lowest in grade. Moreover, Wang She's background was even more shabby than Jiang Bin, who became famous generals.

Wang She was born in a poor family. His parents died since childhood. He was bullied by people of the same clan. He joined the army only to make a living. However, Wang She was smart, studious, smart and powerful. He soon gained a foothold in the army. He was promoted from an ordinary soldier to a sergeant commander and a commander. He was then promoted to Dubo Junhou with his military achievements. He was appointed as the Sima Clerk. Later, he was appreciated and promoted from Jiang Wei to the military supervisor and became the independent general.
