The last three kingdoms

Chapter 158 Reinforcement arrives

Finally, a sharp-eyed family soldier saw the flag and shouted excitedly: "It's the military flag of our big man! It's the military flag of our big man!"

Sure enough, the brave men and horses were getting closer and closer, and there was a big "Han" character on the banner in the front. Who were the men and horses who were not Shu Han?
The soldiers cheered involuntarily, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements at last, tears filled their eyes with excitement.Even Zhang Le couldn't help waving his fists, and shouted, "Okay, now we've made it through."

Among all the people, only Liu Yin looked calm and calm, as if he had already determined that the reinforcements would appear, but there was also a long-lost smile on his face.

Liu Yin and the others are at the highest trumpet mouth of Qingchuankou at the moment. After the soldiers and horses of Shu arrived at the valley entrance, the horses in front of them could no longer pass. They saw the riders in front of the team jumping off their horses one after another and going up the mountain on foot. Obviously, they also saw Liu Yin's move. There were people on the side, and they quickly converged.

The one who walked in the front was a general in military uniform. The heavy armor could not stop his pretentious pace, but seeing him walking like flying, he quickly walked towards Liu Yin and said loudly: "Wen Xuan— —”

The person who came was none other than Fu Qian, the governor of Guanzhong. Liu Yin went up to greet him, and said with a salute, "my son-in-law has seen my father-in-law."

Fu Qian was startled when he saw Liu Yin covered in blood, and asked anxiously, "Wen Xuan, why do you look like this, but you were defeated by the Wei army?"

Liu Yin chuckled and said, "Deng Ai is indeed a tough opponent, but it's not clear who will win and who will lose."

A cold light flashed in Fu Qian's eyes, and he lost his voice: "Sure enough, it is as expected by Wenxuan, is Deng Ai leading the army to attack Yinping trail?"

Liu Yin nodded and said, "Master Chen must have informed his father-in-law of the situation here, right?"

Chen Shou was right behind Fu Qian at the moment, and said with a smile, "Master You Cheng entrusted me with it, I am fortunate to live up to my fate."

It turned out that when Liu Yin left Chengdu, he arranged for Chen Shou to go to Jiange to meet Fu Qian in secret.After Liu Yin arrived in Jiangyou, Chen Shou rushed to Jiange without stopping.Of course, Chen Shou made this trip in the name of the official of the Lieutenant's Mansion. After arriving at Jiange, the first person he met was Zheng Yi, the Si Cheng of the Hanzhong Division of the Lieutenant's Mansion.

The army in Chengdu can't count on it, and Jiang Wei's army in Jiange will face the pressure of Zhong Hui's attack, so he will definitely not divide his troops.Of course, the most important point is that Liu Yin can't produce conclusive evidence that Wei Jun marched from Yinping Trail. Neither Liu Chan nor Jiang Wei can fully believe Liu Yin's one-sided words. Liu Yin also believed that neither Liu Chan nor Jiang Wei would be indifferent to the sneak attack on the trail.

But if you really find Deng Ai's whereabouts and report it, it will be too late. To stop Deng Ai, you can only last for three or four days at most. Before Liu Yin's messenger reports the news to Chengdu or Jiange, then The battle on the border is probably over. Unless the Shu army can have a quick-response airborne force, it is impossible to send reinforcements so quickly even if they are killed.

Airborne troops?That will not happen until at least 800 years later. According to the current marching mode, it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive without ten or eight days.

Therefore, Liu Yin could only think of another trick, arranging Chen Shou to go to Jiange was also the result of Liu Yin's careful consideration.Now almost everyone can't count on them. Among the leading generals, only his father-in-law Fu Qian can rely on him. With this relationship between Weng and his son-in-law, even though Fu Qian doesn't really believe that the Wei army will come from the Yinping trail, He is also very likely to lend a helping hand.

The only thing that worries Liu Yin is that Fu Qian is now under the command of Jiang Wei. Without Jiang Wei's nod of consent, can Fu Qian transfer people out privately?
After the fall of Hanzhong Division in Hanzhong, except for the secretly hidden personnel, all the Sicheng Office was transferred to Jiange. With the current enemy, the relationship between the military and the Lieutenant's Office became less tense. After all, the two sides still have a lot of cooperation matters. The military also relied on the Lieutenant's House for information.

With Zheng Yi's arrangement, Chen Shou soon met Fu Qian.The last time Liu Yin went to Hanzhong, Chen Shou and others accompanied him. Fu Qian still had an impression of Chen Shou. Knowing that he was from Liu Yin, when he asked why he came, Fu Qian was shocked and felt weird.

It's just Fu Qian, and now everyone in Sichuan may think that Liu Yin is really crazy, and that the Wei army will march from the deserted Yinping trail where there is basically no way out. Isn't this a big joke?

However, Fu Qian calmed down, read Liu Yin's letters repeatedly, and decided that this was definitely not Liu Yin's whim. Liu Yin has always had a calm personality, and if he is not fully sure, he will not act rashly.If Liu Yin's prediction is true, the Wei army will definitely send a large army to smuggle across the Yinping trail, and Liu Yin can't resist it with only a few hundred private soldiers.

Fu Qian still tends to believe Liu Yin, even if Liu Yin is really crazy, then he is willing to accompany him to be crazy, not to mention other things, just from an emotional point of view, Fu Qian can't let his son-in-law fall into crisis .

Soon, Fu Qian went to see Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei has now put all his energy on the defense of the Jiange. Fu Qian proposed to go to Jiangyou to defend the Yinping Trail, which really surprised Jiang Wei.Although it is said that Jiange has a natural danger that one man is in charge, ten thousand men cannot open it, after all, Zhonghui has several times more troops than the Shu army. Jiang Wei dare not be careless. If Jiange falls, the entire Central Shu Plain will be exposed Under Wei Jun's iron hoof, Jiang Wei could not afford this responsibility.

Dividing the troops to defend the Yinping trail would be tantamount to dispersing the forces stationed at the Jiange. Facing Zhong Hui's strong attack, the pressure would be great, and Jiang Wei did not dare to take this risk.As for whether there would be a surprise attack by Wei soldiers on the Yinping trail, Jiang Wei scoffed at it. Is this nonsense? Moreover, this plan was proposed by Liu Yin, and Jiang Wei felt even more unreliable.

How can a prince who has never fought a war and was spoiled and spoiled, and only relied on his nepotism to climb to a high position, has such great foresight?
"Gongfu, you have been fighting with me for many years, and you have experienced dozens of battles. How do you know that marching and fighting is not a child's play. Now that the Jiange is facing the enemy, is it appropriate to deploy troops to the deserted Yinping trail?" Jiang Wei was a little displeased. Yue authentic.

Fu Qian cupped his hands and said: "The general has carefully considered this matter. If there is no Wei army on the Yinping trail, everything will be closed. Once the Wei army commander drives him into Jiangyou, Jiange will definitely be attacked by the enemy. The situation is critical. I hope the general will investigate carefully."

Jiang Wei smiled calmly and said, "Gongfu, I know that Liu Yin is your son-in-law, but this is a major national event, and the most important thing is not to just look at the affection of your children, but to defend the Jiange. According to Liu Yin's words , the leader this time must be Deng Ai. I have dealt with Deng Ai for decades. Although Deng Aishan has a conspiracy, but it is not necessarily his style to play such a dangerous game. Yinping Xiaodao is extremely dangerous. It is not conducive to the passage of large troops. Deng Ai is mature and prudent, and will never do such a dangerous thing. Young people have good ideas, but fighting is not just talking on paper. Your son-in-law needs more experience."

Fu Qian said: "General, the last general has absolutely no selfish intentions, nor does he have the intention of protecting the calf. Although the possibility of the Wei army invading the Yinping Trail is small, it is not impossible. In order to protect the river, the last general is willing to lead his troops to garrison. Please The general agrees."

Jiang Wei's face darkened, Fu Qian's stubbornness made Jiang Wei very displeased, Fu Qian was called up by Jiang Wei, and he had always admired him, but at this moment Jiang Wei was faintly disappointed in him.

"Gongfu, the Yang'an Pass has been lost, and the imperial court already intends to hold you accountable. I am trying to protect you under pressure. If you make a mistake in stationing in Jiangyou, how can you block the people's mouths? I'm afraid I will not be able to answer for you again." protected."

Fu Qian said: "The country's affairs are important, and his personal gains and losses are insignificant. If Jiangyou has no invading enemies, he is willing to be punished."

A sharp look flashed across Jiang Wei's eyes, but he finally sighed softly and said, "Since you have made up your mind, I have nothing to say, so let's do it ourselves."

Fu Qian ordered 3000 troops from the headquarters, and rushed to Jiangyou all night and day.
