The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1010
Going through Weize Guanjingxingkou is of course peaceful and stable, but after returning to Jizhou from this road, the situation in Jizhou as a whole has not changed much, and it will still return to the original old road.

The situation is different when you go to Yangchangban. As Cao Cao’s fiefdom of the king of Wei, Yecheng has always been the northern capital of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Its importance is self-evident. Yayu Deng Ai's feat of smuggling to Yinping, if Yecheng really falls into the hands of Shu, the situation in the entire north of the Yellow River will undergo earth-shaking changes.

However, risks and opportunities coexist. There is no risk in walking Weize Pass, but Yangchangban is full of challenges. The terrain here is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. If the Jin army lays an ambush here If so, things will get worse.

In short, walking through Yangchang Pass is ten times more risky than walking through Weize Pass.

Fu Qian and others tend to take the relatively stable Weize Pass, thinking that the strength of the Shu army is no longer comparable. After suffering repeated heavy losses, the Jin army has already gone downhill in strength. Between the ups and downs, the advantage of the Shu army is already obvious, and there is no need to take risks again. This time when returning to Jizhou, the Shu army can fully rely on this advantage to fight steadily and step by step, and it will surely be the final victory. Just around the corner.

On the contrary, risky actions such as walking on Yangchang Hill are full of dangers. If you encounter an ambush by the Jin army, it will be tantamount to wasting all previous efforts. Such a result is not something the Shu army can afford.

Liu Yin did not make a statement for a long time, and he waited for the scouts to hand over the news from Yangchangban. Although there was a greater risk, Liu Yin still considered going to Yangchangban.

Liu Yin's success is inseparable from "traveling strange things and taking risks". If Liu Yin didn't choose to go to the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, how could he come to the land of Yongliang, Guanlong?If there is no risk of crossing the Yellow River eastward, how can we expand the territory?
Although every step Liu Yin took before was novel and adventurous, and he had never been in a stable state, with these two roads in front of him, Liu Yin still tended to take the Yangchangban.

This is determined by Liu Yin's character.

Benefits determine everything. If it is not profitable to go to Yangchangban, Liu Yin will definitely choose another one without hesitation, but the situation is different now. As long as the army successfully marches from Yangchangban, the Shu army can go straight to Yecheng Under the city, how can Liu Yin let go of such a thing that gets twice the result with half the effort?
As for whether the Jin army would set up an ambush on the way, he didn't care too much about it. If there is an ambush on the way, there is a way to ambush, and if there is no ambush, there is no way to ambush. That's why Liu Yin sent multiple scouts to investigate. The latest trend of the Jin army, only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win a hundred battles.

However, the news from the direction of Yecheng made Liu Yin a little inexplicable. The fall of the Shangdang, it stands to reason that the Jin army should strengthen the defense of Yecheng to guard against the sneak attack of the Shu army.

But Sima Jun did the opposite. He even took time out of Yecheng's army and ordered Ma Long to launch another attack on northern Hebei.

This in itself is not a normal thing, no matter how stupid Sima Jun is, he will not commit a taboo in the world.Liu Yin had fought against Sima Jun before, so he knew something about Sima Jun. It seemed that Sima Jun was not out of his wits, but had other plans.

Sure enough, the news sent back by the scouts said that a large group of troops from the Jin army were found on the small road in Yangchangban. Liu Yin didn't think they were here for vacation, and since Shangdang was newly defeated, Liu Yin guessed that Sima Jun didn't have the guts to come. Invading Shangdang, the only possibility is that Sima Jun mobilized his troops to set up an ambush at Yangchangban.

"Since it is confirmed that the Jin army has an ambush at Yangchangban, it proves that Yangchangban is not feasible. Wenxuan, this time it happened to go to the north and return to Jizhou through Weizeguan. Changsaka, go to hell." This time, he fell right into Fu Qian's arms, and he said to Liu Yin as a matter of course.

But Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "No, since we have already grasped the news that Sima Jun set up an ambush at Yangchangban, why not come up with a trick and make Sima Jun mistakenly believe that we didn't know there was an ambush and come to attack our ambush, and we can Secretly dispatch soldiers and horses to launch a counter-ambush against Sima Jun, so it's hard to say who will eat who."

Fu Qianlue frowned and said, "But Wenxuan, have you ever thought about it? The terrain around Yangchangban is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Sima Jun takes the first step to occupy the dangerous position, will we still have a chance to counter the encirclement?"

Liu Yin chuckled and said, "Father-in-law, have you forgotten what our Han army is best at? Sima Jun's tricks can only be shot at his own feet." Liu Yin is well-informed, and he is best at Even in the ambush of others, Sima Jun also tried to play an ambush, which is simply asking for humiliation.

It's not that Fu Qian doubted Liu Yin's ability, but it's unreasonable to venture into such a dangerous situation. Instead of fighting to the death with the Jin army at Yangchangban, it's better to bypass Weize Pass earlier and return to Jizhou. .

"Sima Jun wants to ambush us. If we don't go, won't Sima Jun be disappointed?" Liu Yin joked.

It can also be seen from this joke that Liu Yin is in excellent condition. Obviously, Liu Yin can continue to stick to his style of play after knowing that there is an ambush by the Jin army in Yangchangban. He had nothing to say, and agreed in principle to Liu Yin's plan to leave Yangchangban.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the mountains. The reason why Liu Yin has such confidence is not entirely because of his confidence in his own army. Fighting in the mountains, the Shu army has always been the king's army. In this world, if you fight in the mountains, there is no Any army is the opponent of the Shu army.

Sima Jun thought that he could stop the Shu army by relying on the natural danger of Yangchangban, but he was very wrong. Even if Liu Yin didn't know the plan and fell into the ambush of the Jin army by mistake, Sima Jun wanted to gnaw on this army. It is definitely not an easy task for the teacher from the mountain, Liu Yin can make him understand in minutes, the end of Sima Jun's death in front of Guan Gong is probably uglier than anyone else.

Now that the direction of the main attack has been determined, Liu Yin immediately dispatched troops and generals. In view of the narrow terrain of Yangchangban, no amount of troops could be deployed, so Liu Yin chose Wudang Feijun and Yang'an Army as the vanguard to take the lead. Advance to Yangchangban, and the rest of the army will march later.

Zhao Zhuo led the Yang'an army as the vanguard of the whole team, even as a bait. Following Liu Yin's order, he left Huguan in a hurry, marched towards the southeast, and plunged into the Jin army at Yangchangban. within the ambush circle.
