Eight hundred and fifty-two Zheng Du's strategy
After obtaining military supplies from the Shu army, the Wei army soldiers happily ate and drank, and then marched towards Chengdu with greater enthusiasm.
Liu Zhang was so scared that his mind was blank. The whole Chengdu was in chaos and he no longer had the heart to support the front line.
The front line was over, and the resistance general was dead. The Wei army advanced westward without any resistance, and the Shu Han regime was about to end.
Once the situation that the pro-war faction struggled to maintain collapsed, the suppressed surrendered faction immediately looked up.
They flocked to Liu Zhang's palace, knelt down and cried, begging Liu Zhang to give up resisting and surrender to the Wei army, saying that if the war is the main force to harm the country, and if the entire Yizhou people continue to fight, they will be massacred by the Wei people.
Now the pro-war faction no longer has the confidence and bargaining chips to use to fight against the pro-regressive faction.
They could no longer persuade Liu Zhang to continue resisting.
Because except for the 5,000 Chengdu garrison troops, Liu Zhang no longer had any other mobile troops. The last army that could be mobilized was in Nanzhong. It was the guardian army that he had suffered from his many years of fighting against Nanzhong. Generally speaking, he was still immobile.
So if we fight again, even the chefs in Chengdu will be dragged to the battlefield to fight the Wei army, and the eunuchs around him may follow him onto the battlefield.
This is something they can't accept.
Liu Zhang hid in the deep palace and kept crying, begging to the heaven that it was not true, and praying to this was a nightmare.
He would soon wake up from his dream. Yan Yan would write to tell him that he had repelled the Wei army, and Wu Yi and Zhang Ren would also bring good news that the Wei army had retreated.
But Liu Zhang did not wake up because he didn't sleep at all. This is reality.
Liu Zhang's psychological defense was shaking, and most of the war-holding factions were trapped in self-doubt and silent. At this moment, not many people were trying to turn the tide.
Liu Zhang promoted the Chengdu County Magistrate Zhang Su to be one of them.
He has no talent, but as an old official of Liu Zhang, he must pose and stand on the same front as Liu Zhang no matter what.
So he met Liu Zhang and made his own suggestions to Liu Zhang.
"The Wei people came from afar. They seemed powerful, but in fact they were as dangerous as they were. Your Majesty should send a capable general to lead an elite army to penetrate the rear of the Wei army, attack their food channels, and cut off their food channels. Then the advance Wei army will retreat and Chengdu will be safe."
This kind of trick that is so concise and has no characteristics or useless is something that Liu Zhang can think of, and Zhang Su can say it, which is already a sign of loyalty.
But anyone can say it, what about doing?
What kind of general is considered a capable general?
What kind of soldiers are considered capable soldiers?
How many is one?
How to insert the rear of the Wei army?
How to attack the food road? : :
Which way to go?
How much food should you carry?
What if it is defeated by the Wei army guarding the food road?
These are not things that Zhang Su would consider, he is only responsible for bringing them up.
Liu Zhang was very grateful to Zhang Su for his loyal statement, and then rejected Zhang Su's suggestion.
"I already understand Zhang Qing's heart, but this matter is of great importance. You cannot make decisions so simply, and I will consider them."
"His Majesty……"
"Zhang Qing, you go."
Liu Zhang waved his hand and asked Zhang Su to leave.
Zhang Su wanted to persuade him again, but looking at Liu Zhang's expression, he could only take his back helplessly.
When Zhang Song returned home, he happened to meet Zhang Su. The two brothers decided to go together and felt that the future was not good.
"Brother, your Majesty doesn't need your plan is already a statement. In my opinion, your Majesty no longer wants to continue fighting."
Zhang Song thought about it and gave his own opinion.
Military ability and political ability are two abilities. The Zhang brothers' military ability is basically not equal to none, but they still have political ability. You can analyze it with a little analysis.
"I also saw that His Majesty seemed a little discouraged, but like this... Ziqiao, do you think it's really OK? Will His Majesty surrender to Guo Zifeng?"
"It seems extraordinary, but in fact, brother, we can make plans early."
Zhang Song shook his head: "Your Majesty is discouraged. The situation will be unclear. We must seek our own path."
Zhang Su was very confused about this.
"Our own way? Ziqiao, are you going to betray Your Majesty for your brother?"
"Brother, it was His Majesty who betrayed His Majesty himself. His Majesty himself found a way out for him. He will definitely be able to survive. What about us? Have you ever thought about us who follow him to resist? What should we do if His Majesty doesn't care about his own safety at that time?"
Zhang Song asked Zhang Su back, but Zhang Su had nothing to say.
"If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your family. If you don't prepare early now, then the old man Xu Jing bit his back in front of the Wei people and we'll be done!"
Zhang Song looked at Zhang Su with a nervous expression. After Zhang Su panicked, he looked at Zhang Song helplessly.
"Zi Qiao, then...what should we do?"
"Brother, don't panic. We'll know Your Majesty's intentions early. If you know and make arrangements early, there will be no way out. There will definitely be ways to survive in our family!"
Zhang Song turned his eyes and began to think about countermeasures.
Think about some countermeasures that could allow their family to continue to exist after the Wei State ruled Yizhou.
Zhang Su made a statement, and Zheng Du, the employed person around Liu Zhang, also chose to make a statement.
Zheng Du was from Guanghan County and a native of Shu. He was promoted by Liu Zhang in the past and was loyal to Liu Zhang. When his ministers were all declining, Zheng Du went upstream and entered the palace to offer a plan to retreat to Liu Zhang.
Like Zhang Su, as an old official promoted by Liu Zhang himself, Zheng Du must make his position clear and stick to his integrity until the last moment.
Liu Zhang naturally chose to meet Zheng Du, and Zheng Du told his plan.
It turned out that Zheng Du believed that Liu Zhang still had 5,000 troops in his hands. Although Jiangzhou was lost, Liu Zhang was not without the power to fight back.
The Jiange army ahead was defending and was still blocking the Wei army. The Chengdu plains were not completely destroyed. The Wei army had only one army that entered Shu. There was still a chance to recover everything, so it was recommended that Liu Zhang take action immediately.
He suggested that Liu Zhang implement a plan to strengthen the walls and clear the country.
Compared to Zhang Su's concept that was difficult to implement, Zheng Du's ideas are much more practical, as well as suggestions on the execution steps and specific suggestions on how to do it.
Zheng Du believes that Chengdu can send troops out and mobilize local officials to move as many residents near the distance from Jiangzhou to Chengdu as possible, and all the population and all the materials will be moved away. How much can you take away? The fire that cannot be taken away will be burned. Computer terminal::/
The Wei army relied on water to transport grain and advanced on water to move forward. Then they set up a Hengjiang iron cable on both sides of the water to lock the water to cause trouble for them.
Then, when encountering a road, destroying the road, when encountering a bridge, poisoning the well, blocking it, or filthing it with animal corpses, and setting traps on key roads.
This will definitely greatly slow down the speed of the Wei army's advance. Not only that, it will also prevent the Wei army from supporting the war and cannot obtain any food supplements. It must rely on the rear transport.
For more than a thousand miles from Jingzhou to Chengdu, the Wei army was under great logistics pressure, and the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields would inevitably work. The Wei army had to pay a huge price for every step forward. Whether they could bear it was still unknown. At that time, it was Liu Zhang's opportunity.
Send troops everywhere to garrison, and small groups of actions can also lurk in the rear of the Wei army, destroy the Wei army's post station along the waterway, and transport grain ships.
Attack the Wei army's grain transport team at all times, but without entanglement, fight when you have the opportunity, and run away when you don't have the opportunity. This can shake the morale of the Wei army and force the Wei army to retreat sooner or later.
At that time, if Liu Zhang could send troops to pursue him, he would definitely have great success. If he continued to pursue him, he might expel the Wei army from Shu and restore his pre-war state.
