Chapter 2418 make up your mind
But Jiang Shu seemed to be unable to hold back and took the initiative to ask Fu Qian for a fight.
Jiang Shu believed that this opportunity was fleeting, and took advantage of the fact that the Wei army had not yet reacted and attacked decisively, and perhaps there was still a chance to win a battle, but if he had been so hesitant and waited for the Wei army to react, the opportunity would be completely gone.
So Jiang Shu was particularly active this time and volunteered to fight. In his opinion, if such a good opportunity was not seized and wasted, it would be a waste of resources.
Of course, Fu Qian would not let Jiang Shu attack. First of all, this time the opportunity is so good. As the main general, how could Fu Qian give such a good opportunity to others? Secondly, Fu Qian was not very relieved about Jiang Shu's ability. This time he had only one chance to attack, which was a one-time deal. If Jiang Shu was messed up, wouldn't that be a pity?
Therefore, even if Jiang Shu asked for a fight, Fu Qian was unmoved. He just said that he should not be impatient. Wait for two more days and there would be a result.
Jiang Shu was also helpless, but as the chief general of Yangping Pass, Fu Qian made decisions in his hands. Jiang Shu could only make suggestions at most, and the one who really made the decision was Fu Qian.
Two more days later, the scouts sent out for reconnaissance returned one after another, and they provided Fu Qian with the most detailed information and information.
The Shu army scouted the target within forty or fifty miles of Yangping Pass, and the search results were not unexpected. No trace of the Wei army was found in this area. In other words, the Wei army did not ambush near Yangping Pass, only Wen Yang's three thousand troops were there.
Now the main forces of the Wei army have all gathered near Seoul. At least 40,000 to 50,000 troops have encircled Seoul, and the three inner and three outer layers are surrounded.
Moreover, the Wei army had launched a fierce offensive against Seoul, and the two sides launched fierce offensive and defensive battles, but these scouts could not get too close, and the specific situation was not too clear. However, with Seoul's defensive ability, even if the Wei army concentrated heavy troops, it would not be possible to conquer Seoul overnight. Therefore, the battle there should last for a long time.
When Fu Qian heard this news, he couldn't help but be worried about Jiang Bin. The Wei army gathered heavy troops to besiege Seoul, which was a test for Jiang Bin.
No one has tried whether Seoul's defense can withstand the attack of the Wei army, so whether it is Jiang Bin Wangshe or Fu Qian, they are actually crossing the river by feeling the stones. They are not sure whether they can defend the various fortresses.
Jiang Wei's established policy of fighting each other makes it impossible for them to rescue each other. No matter how critical the situation in Seoul is, Fu Qian can only watch the fire from the other side. Apart from the support of friendship, it seems that he can't do anything else.
But wait, if Fu Qian could wipe out this Wei cavalry under Yangping Pass, it would be the strongest support for the fighting Shu army in Seoul. It not only attacked the arrogance of the Wei army, but also inspire and boosted the fighting spirit of the Shu army. It can be said that it will kill two birds with one stone.
After obtaining this series of information, Fu Qian no longer hesitated and decided to leave the city to raid the Wei army's camp tonight.
What Fu Qian was most worried about was that he might fall into the trap of the Wei army after leaving the city. Now it seems that this kind of worry seems to be redundant. The main force of the Wei army besieged Seoul, and no Dong cared about Yangping Pass at all. Deng Ai sent 3,000 Wen Yang to Yangping Pass, and his intention was relatively clear, that was, to intercept the Shu army in Yangping Pass and not give them the opportunity to go to Seoul for rescue.
If you don’t eat the fat meat you deliver to your mouth, it’s simply unreasonable.
Perhaps Deng Ai was more arrogant, or perhaps the Wei army was relatively tight and could not draw too many troops, so Deng Ai only sent Wen Yang to Yangping Pass to block the Shu army.
After all, Deng Ai was somewhat confident in this Yue cavalry. Deng Ai used to be the Yue cavalry captain and Yue cavalry general, and Deng Ai's predecessor was Cao Liang himself, so Yue cavalry was called the number one ace of the Wei army and had extraordinary combat power. Perhaps Deng Ai really believed that three thousand Yue cavalry could block the tens of thousands of Shu troops.
Thinking of this, Fu Qian smiled coldly. Although Fu Qian also recognized the combat effectiveness of the Yueqian Camp, if three thousand Yue cavalry could defeat more than 20,000 Shu troops, he would not believe it if he was killed.
Of course, Fu Qian could not have been able to go out in this sneak attack. He decided to bring 15,000 people to attack, and stayed at Yangping Pass. In addition to Jiang Shu's Ximen's 3,000 troops, at the East Gate, Fu Qian also specially sent his most trusted lieutenant Li Du to guard the guard.
No matter what the result of this attack is, at least Fu Qian cannot let Yangpingguan have any possibility of something happening.
Of course, Fu Qian also felt a sense of vigilance, that is, Tushan, where the Wei army stationed troops, was only about five miles away from Yangping Pass, and arrived in a moment after leaving the city.
And the distance is just right, not far or near. If the distance is too far, Fu Qian may have another consideration.
The five miles away is enough to ensure that Fu Qian can retreat in an emergency.
This is also the real reason why Fu Qian dared to attack. Even if the attack fails, at least there is a way out to retreat and has no impact on Yangping Pass’s defense.
Even if this attack will endanger the defense of Yangping Pass, Fu Qian would definitely reject this attack plan without hesitation. No matter how great the result of this attack will be or how victory will be achieved, as long as there is a little damage to the defense of Yangping Pass, it will be unacceptable to Fu Qian.
Fu Qian's mission is to defend against Yangping Pass. Everything must be guaranteed to be safe and sound. Only under this premise can Fu Qian consider annihilation of the enemy.
The reason why Fu Qian arranged for the captain Li Du to guard the East Gate was because Li Du was his confidant general and the person Fu Qian trusted the most. Only such confidant general would Fu Qian hand over his safety and retreat to his hands.
As for Jiang Shu, although Fu Qian did not reject him, he might not trust him very much, so Fu Qian arranged Jiang Shu to the west gate of Yangping Pass to guard. In that direction, there was no Wei army at this moment, at least there would be no danger for the time being.
Only when the defense of Yangping Pass was arranged properly can Fu Qian send troops boldly. Anyway, the length was only five miles away, and there were no other Wei troops within fifty miles around. When there was a danger, Fu Qian could also calmly retreat to Yangping Pass.
