The last three kingdoms

Chapter 119 I'm Not Alone

Liu Yin has already planned his itinerary again. According to the original historical records, Deng Ai set off from Yinping in winter and October, digging mountain passages and building bridges and pavilions all the way. It took more than 20 days and traveled more than [-] miles. , first ascend to Jiangyou.The exact time of Deng Ai’s departure is unknown. According to the record that the Lord dedicated the city to the city after the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Deng Ai also set off in the first ten days of October at the latest, and it may even be a few days in early October. There was still a battle in Mianzhu, and if it was later, there would be no time to march to Chengdu. You must know that Deng Ai's troops no longer had a horse, and they were all infantry.

Looking at the calendar, September is coming to an end, Deng Ai is about to leave, and there is not much time left for Liu Yin. After all, there is a distance of seven or eight hundred miles from Chengdu to Jiangyou, and the road is even easier than the Yinping trail. , It will take about ten days, and Liu Yin must arrive at Jiangyou ahead of Deng Ai, occupy the favorable pass first, and make sufficient preparations, so Liu Yin decided to leave on the first day of October at the latest.

Of course, it’s useless to go early, and the Yinping Trail is only a dangerous path left to the world after Deng Ai Tong’s journey, and it will be talked about by future generations. Now there is just a barren mountain, Liu Yin can probably tell Outside the vicinity of Jiangyou, it is still a mystery which road Deng Ai will appear from.

So as early as a few days ago, Liu Yin had sent Ah Jian to Jiangyou with several Qiang guards to scout the movements of the Wei army.According to historical records, Deng Ai started from Yinping, took Yinping Bridge, crossed Motianling, passed Tangjiahe, Luoyigou, Yinping Mountain, Mazhuanguan, Jingjun Mountain, Qingdaokou, and finally arrived at Jiangyouguan. Liu Yin knew very well that except Except for the starting point and the ending point, the other place names don't match at all at this time, because it is a desolate place now, and these place names were taken by later generations.Only by sending out scouts to go deep into the mountains can it be possible to find out the real marching route of the Wei army and set up a block to block it in the direction of its advance.

A Jian is very skilled, climbing mountains and ridges, like covering flat ground, the Qiang people who went with him were not weaker than him in guarding, and provided them with a general direction, and they could search for traces of the Wei army in the deep mountains. It is almost impossible to make a big move without being discovered by reconnaissance.

As long as Wei Jun can be found, Liu Yin's plan will be half successful. The rest is to stop Deng Ai in a suitable place. As long as Deng Ai is not allowed to enter the plains, he can be trapped to death in the mountains among.

Since preparing for the itinerary, Liu Yin has never reported to the Lieutenant's Mansion. Firstly, there is no time, and secondly, there is no need. Due to the opposition of the ministers of the court, Liu Yin said in the court that he would not use the court's soldiers and horses and only relied on One's own private work, which of course also includes the power of the Lieutenant's Mansion.In fact, apart from civilian staff, the Lieutenant's Mansion doesn't have too many mobile forces. If troops can be mobilized, Liu Yin is more inclined to mobilize the Hubu Battalion.

But the emperor's imperial guards can't mobilize a single soldier at all now, and Liu Chan alone can't pass this level. After the attack on Qingcheng Mountain, Liu Chan seemed to have a heart attack, and the transfer of the imperial forest army was like cramping him. He is skinny, in order to win Liu Chan's permission, Liu Yin can only rely on the power of the court.

Although a little helpless, this aroused Liu Yin's blood even more, no matter what, he had to fight this one.

"Young Master, there is someone outside the door asking to see you." The steward stepped forward and reported to Liu Yin.

"Oh, who is it?" Liu Yin asked casually, he was setting out the final training task, and after completing it, it was time to go on the road.

The steward reported, "It's Zhang Duwei and Zhao Duwei from the Lieutenant's Mansion."

"It's them?" Liu Yin smiled. He was so busy these days that he didn't bother to contact Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo and the others. "Bring them in."

The steward retreated, and Liu Yin also returned from the school grounds.

"Brother, you are too mean, and you don't discuss such a big matter with your brother!" Zhang Le complained loudly from a distance.

Liu Yin smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I've been too busy these days, I'm going to inform everyone before I leave, sorry."

Zhang Le's face was full of displeasure, he snorted heavily, and said, "Brother, do you think we are still brothers?"

"Of course, why do you say this for no reason?" Liu Yin was a little stunned.

"Since you are brothers, you went to Jiangyou to stop Wei Bing, why didn't you take brother Zhuo and me, didn't we agree to share wealth and wealth together, now that something is going on, you actually leave us two brothers and do things alone, you It's too dishonest!" Zhang Le said, rolling his eyes.

Zhao Zhuo also cupped his hands and said: "Brother, we are sworn brothers to live and die together. Now that the country is in crisis, I am willing to follow Big Brother to go to the country together."

Liu Yin pulled one with each hand, and said with a wry smile: "How can I forget our brotherhood, but above the court, I have already promised His Majesty that I will not use a single soldier from the court. Both of you will be in the lieutenant The servants of the government, if you are brought here, it would be a breach of trust in His Majesty, that's why I didn't inform you for the time being, but I want to drink your farewell wine before leaving."

Zhang Le stared and asked, "If we don't work in the Lieutenant's Mansion, can we go to Jiangyou with you?"

"That's natural, but you are the captains of the Lieutenant's Mansion, why can you leave your post without authorization?" Liu Yin said inexplicably.

Zhao Zhuo said: "Brother, we have heard about your matter for a long time. For this reason, Brother Le and I have already submitted our resignation letter to Mr. He, Zhijinwu, and Mr. He has already agreed. Now we are both white, and we are no longer court officials. Wherever you go, the imperial court can’t control you.”

"You resigned?" Liu Yin was taken aback, and said in astonishment: "How can you be so impulsive, the left and right assistant captains, the official positions of six hundred shi, is it easy for you to get mixed up now?"

Zhang Le chuckled, and said: "This is authorized by Mr. He. Mr. He said that when we come back from the war, we will immediately reinstate our officers. If we really make great contributions, we will be promoted if we don't have enough guarantees."

Liu Yin couldn't help being stunned. Although he and He Zeng worked together in the same department, they didn't have a close relationship. He Zeng seemed full of bureaucracy, but he didn't expect that he could support himself in this way at a critical time.He Zeng may not have the guts to openly dispatch the troops of the Lieutenant's Mansion. After all, there are so many eyes staring at the court, and he dismissed Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo and dispatched them by himself.

Liu Yin couldn't help feeling a warm feeling in his heart, it turned out that he was not alone, with these friends, he was not fighting alone.
