?A fierce battle between the Tianyi army and the Cao army southward outside Xiangyang City may have been an amazing battle in the eyes of Liu Biao and others, but in the eyes of the Crouching Tiger Command, it was just a warm-up match.--.

If Zhao Gang had not firmly requested the commander of Wohu to lead the army to Jingzhou to train the troops, Zhao Xing would not have planned to put the Tianyi army on the front battlefield so early. The 30,000 Liaodong army of the Northeast Legion had arrived in the Changshan area of ​​Jizhou. Zhao Xing could draw the distant army to go to Liang Kingdom to take over the task of defending the Canglang Army, and then send the Canglang Army out of Yumen Pass to replace the Pingxi Army in the pass to fight.

The combat effectiveness of the 40,000-pac Western Army is basically the same as that of the Kunlun Army. Once you join the battle group in the northern part of Yizhou, the vanguard army can be completely replaced. At that time, whether it is advancing east to support Xiangyang or besieging Chang'an, it will be easy.

Of course, the Tianyi Army was just a feint to move troops at the beginning and did not undertake the main attack. Now it has opened up a situation in Jingzhou, which has also made the battle to siege Yizhou more thorough and meticulous. For example, today the Yi Army went to Yiling to defend the exit of the Sima family's escape east with Huang Zhong's army, Zhao Xing no longer had to worry about Sima Yi taking advantage of the loophole again and taking out the Heaven.

Yiling is a sad place for the Yizhou army, but for Lu Xun, it is a blessed place for his past and present lives. Although Zhao Gang was seriously injured and could not ask about things, as long as Lu Xun was in charge of the overall situation in Yiling, the Yizhou army would not think of any tricks with him.

The two routes of attacking Yibei Route Army led by Zhang He and Xu Rong had basically destroyed the defense facilities built by the Sima family in the north. The 40,000 elite vanguard troops have now captured Zitong, a major town 300 miles north of Chengdu. The troops are aiming directly at Fushui Pass, and the Kunlun Army crosses mountains and ridges from Gangdi Road and directly penetrates between Fushui Pass and Mianzhu Pass, directly threatening the Yizhou Army stationed in Fushui Pass.

Taishici and the attacking Yinan Route Army had arrived in the Nan'an area, only two hundred miles away from Chengdu. Along the way, the Southern Route Army had almost no decent resistance, just as easy as public travel. Except for the occasional resistance when passing by some cities, the southern part of Yizhou really cannot draw decent troops to block Taishici's troops.

For Sima Yi, who is now in Chengdu City, the army of Taishi Ci, which suddenly appeared in southern Yizhou, was like a sharp knife inserted into his heart, which had completely disrupted Sima Yi's plan and deployment.

At the beginning, the four armies of Yizhou guarded the North Road, East Road, West Road and South Road respectively, which could be said to have kept Chengdu’s defense tightly. Since Sima Yi started to take up the idea of ​​Liu Biao in Jingzhou, everything has undergone irreversible changes.

First, Wu Yi's army defending southern Yizhou was transferred to Yiling, but was blocked by Huang Zhong and unable to move forward; then Sima Yi transferred Jia Long army, who was originally defending western Yizhou, to Yiling to support Wu Yi. As a result, when he was about to break through the Huya Mountain defense line, Li Yanjun, who came from Jiangling to support Huang Zhong, returned to his original form, and he was still looking at the mountains and sighing through the Yangtze River.

The Yizhou Eastern Army, which was attacking Jingzhou, was blocked by Huang Zhong and Li Yan, was unable to advance in Yiling, which completely disrupted Sima Yi's intention to annex Jingzhou and find a way out to the east. So Sima Yi sent Zhang Ren to the eastern front to supervise the battle, and he personally took over the northern front of Yizhou to guard the attack of Liang Kingdom. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Suddenly, news of a barbarian riot occurred in southern Yizhou. At that time, Zhang Ren had made progress in Yiling, and the court also began to attack Jingzhou, which led to Sima Yi taking risks and urgently transferring Yan Yan's army, who had originally defended the northern front of Yizhou, to the south to suppress the rebellion.

Sima Yi, who had realized that the defense of Yizhou's northern line was somewhat weak, urgently recruited 100,000 new soldiers to join the army, but did not throw them into the northern line. Instead, he asked Fa Zheng to take him to Yiling, hoping to go down to Huya Mountain in one battle, quickly seize Nanjun and Wuling County, and then transfer Zhang Renjun back to the northern line, so that Yizhou's new army would station in Jingzhou.

Sima Yi's idea was actually to fight a time difference and strive to take down the southwestern part of Jingzhou before Liang State launched a large-scale attack on Yizhou to find a way out for him, but he did not expect that Zhao Xing had already begun to launch a truly fatal attack on Yizhou.

What led to the Sima family's ultimate destruction was Yan Yan's defeat and capture in southern Yizhou. If Yan Yan's army was not told to suppress the rebellion when they headed south, but wanted to confront the regular troops of Jin, Yan Yan would not have underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, and was easily plotted by Taishici and Li Ru in the La Valley of Nanshan. If Yan Yan's army was still fighting with Taishici in southern Yizhou, the Sima family would not have faced the dilemma of being surrounded by north and south, blocked from the east, and difficult to enter the west.

At this time, the only thing the Sima family could hope for was that Zhang Ren could lead more than 100,000 main troops back to Chengdu in time as soon as possible. Before that, Sima Yi could only rely on the remaining 80,000 troops to stand firm in the range of 200 miles of Chengdu. Once Zhang Renjun could not come back before Chengdu was captured, the Sima family would be unable to escape the fate of destruction.

Although he had reached the end of his life, Sima Yi still had no idea of ​​giving up. He still didn't know that Wei Yan had led 20,000 mountain troops to approach Qionglai Mountain from the snowy plateau, so he also thought that if Chengdu fell, he would flee westward into the Qiang tribe's sphere of influence and would not fall into the hands of Zhao Xing's army in any case.

From the beginning, the Sima family embarked on a path that could not be turned back. They either completely eliminated Zhao Xing and the Sima family separated the southwest to become independent; or they were completely eliminated by Zhao Xing, and there was no Sima family in Hedong in the world.

Although the situation outside Chengdu has become more severe now, the Sima family still seized the last moment to vigorously mobilize the wealthy families around Chengdu, allowing these local wealthy families and families to form civil resistance, and delay the marching speed of the Jin State and Liang ** teams, so as to gain some time for Zhang Ren's return to help.

The leaflets distributed to various places for free were all false statements that promoted and promoted negative news from the Jin and Liang army. They scared the people that once the troops of Jin and Liang army came, they would not only burn, kill, kill, plunder, but also eat human flesh and sleep with human skin. It was simply worse than poultry meat. In the social environment at that time, basically, the government said whatever the government said, the people would believe it, otherwise there would be no news of a plague outbreak that would make Zhao Xing kidnap millions of people from the Guanzhong area.

The people around Chengdu were naturally frightened when they heard that the troops of Liang and Jin were so inhumane. Some were crowded towards Chengdu, while others hid in the surrounding mountainous areas, which made the villages and towns around Chengdu chaotic and panic.

What will happen to Zhang He, Xu Rong, Taishi Ci, who went north, and Wei Yan, who went east, after encountering such a chaotic situation.
