The last three kingdoms

Chapter 124 Arriving at Jiangyou Pass for the First Time

Liu Yin has not been idle along the way. Blocking Deng Ai in Yinping is one aspect, and more importantly, from Jiange to Chengdu, the key cities. There may not be a chance to hit Chengdu.Whether it is Jiangyou, Fucheng or Jinzhu, the defense capabilities of these cities are extremely strong. Even if Deng Ai's army has an absolute advantage in numbers without heavy siege equipment, it is by no means easy to conquer these fortified cities. thing.

Of course, if it is a voluntary surrender, it is another matter.

Liu Chan's will must have been conveyed to all the passes along the way. When Liu Yin passed Jinzhu and Fucheng, he had already found that the defenders of these cities had obviously stepped up their guard. For business travelers and pedestrians, the battle ahead was tense, and the atmosphere behind was also extraordinarily dignified.

Obviously, Liu Yin is quite satisfied with this situation. Although the defense forces of these passes are weaker—there are only a few hundred to thousands of defenders at each pass, but an active defense posture is better than a passive defense. The consciousness is a hundred times stronger, and these guards at the pass can conscientiously perform their duties. If Deng Ai wants to hit Chengdu, he will never be as in the past.

Liu Yin possessed the decree written by Liu Chan himself, so it was naturally unimpeded. After leaving Fucheng, Liu Yin speeded up his march and went straight to Jiangyou Pass.

The guard of Jiangyou Pass is Ma Miao. In Liu Yin's impression, this guy should be a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Deng Ai's army approached the city of Jiangyou Pass. It must be that the soul is scattered, and the surrender will be surrendered.For such a courageous general, Liu Yin really didn't know how he was promoted to the position of Jiangyou Pass guard.

Jiangyou Pass faces water on one side and is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Its danger is no less than that of Jiange. It is such a dangerous pass that has completely lost its value in the hands of a mediocre and incompetent person like Ma Miao.Otherwise, if the [-] defenders in the city rose up to resist, it would be an almost impossible task for Deng Ai, who was exhausted after wading through mountains and rivers, to take Jiangyou.

Because of the fall of Jiangyou Pass, Deng Ai's army, which was bloodless, was rested and replenished, laying a solid foundation for the ensuing Battle of Jinzhu.The Shu Han died not so much under Deng Ai's surprise soldiers, but at the hands of these incompetent people.

The closer he was to Jiangyou, Liu Yin really wanted to see Ma Miao himself, who was trapped in the Shu Han Dynasty.

"Young master, Jiangyou Pass is ahead." The sentinels who explored the road reported to Liu Yin.

Liu Yin nodded. He also passed Jiangyou Pass on his way to Hanzhong two or three months ago, but at that time his attention was on Hanzhong, he was in a hurry, and he didn't pay much attention to Jiangyou Pass. Fushui waves are like anger, rushing down from north to south, and the mountains in the west are soaring into the clouds, straight as if they are cut, it really has the momentum of one man guarding the gate, and ten thousand men can't open it.

The defense force of Jiangyou Pass has also been significantly strengthened. Barricades are set up at the gate of the city, and several groups of soldiers are guarding with guns, strictly checking the passers-by. Obviously, Liu Chan's edict has also been conveyed here. It is necessary to disobey the emperor's edict. Regarding the matter of losing his head, no matter how mediocre and lazy Ma Miao is, it is impossible for him to do something against the order. Even if he doesn't take it seriously in his heart, at least he has to do it on the surface.

The defenders saw a group of people approaching from a distance, they couldn't figure out the situation, they couldn't help but became very nervous, lined up with guns, blocked behind the roadblock, and asked loudly: "Who is coming?" ? They will all be stopped and inspected!"

Zhang Le was right next to Liu Yin, and even a few soldiers dared to yell three times, Zhang Le couldn't help being very annoyed, and cursed: "Damn it, how dare some little thieves dare to yell in front of me!" , It’s really unreasonable, these guys need to be taught a lesson.”

Zhao Zhuo said with a chuckle: "Brother Le, these guards don't know what you are doing. Naturally, you have to question them clearly about their responsibilities. I think they are doing their duty well. If the army in the middle of Shu can do this, why are they afraid of Wei soldiers?" Invasion."

Zhang Le resentfully said: "I didn't say they were dereliction of duty, but their attitude made me unhappy. Who made them shout so loudly. Don't you think so, big brother?"

Zhang Le went to ask Liu Yin, but Liu Yin didn't pay attention to him at all, rode his horse forward, walked to the front of the guards, pointed with the whip, and said: "Go, tell your general Ma Miao to come out to see me. "With Liu Yin's status, he naturally didn't need to talk to these little soldiers. If he really wanted to be like them, he would have lowered his status. Liu Yin called Ma Miao by name directly.

The team leader in charge of guarding the goal looked Liu Yin up and down, saw Liu Yin's extraordinary attire, and his tone was so domineering, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect him, put away his arrogant attitude in the past, and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency..."

"Tell Ma Miao that Lieutenant Youcheng Liu Yin is coming to pay a visit." Liu Yin said coldly.

Ma Miao was lying comfortably on the couch at the moment, listening to the singer singing a ditty, shaking his head half-listening and half-harmonizing.Ma Miao was over forty years old and became the guard general of Jiangyou Pass. In fact, the title of general is just a polite title. Ma Miao's title is actually just a lieutenant of Qianshi. Unless you have great military merits, it will be difficult to have another chance.

And Jiangyou is located in the hinterland of Sichuan. Even if the Wei army hits Jiange this time, it is still hundreds of miles away from Jiangyou. Moreover, with the general Jiang Wei on the front line, it seems that they don't need to worry about these little people, although The imperial court had already issued an order to take strict precautions, but Ma Miao still went his own way, drinking some wine and listening to music, looking carefree.

Since there is no hope of promotion, why should Ma Miao work hard.

The diva's song was only halfway through, and one of Ma Miao's stewards ran in in a panic, panting and saying, "My lord... something is wrong... Husband... Husband..."

Ma Miao glared at him, and said, "Why are you panicking, speak slowly."

Before the steward could open his mouth, a woman with plain makeup appeared in the hall, her willow brows stood on end, her almond eyes glared at Ma Miao, the steward swallowed, and finally said: "Madam is here..."

Ma Miao glared at him fiercely, then turned his head, showing a flattering smile on his face, and said to the woman, "It's Madam, I don't know why Madam came here?"
