The last three kingdoms

Chapter 161
Next, it is the task of cleaning the battlefield.With Fu Qian's 3000 men present, this task is much easier. The Wei army's food, grass and supplies have been exhausted, and the only things that can be cleaned up are some military weapons and the like.

Of course, the more important thing is the head of the Wei army. In this era, the only requirement for reporting meritorious service is the head, which is almost a rigid indicator, otherwise the number of enemies killed will be false. However, there are still many generals in the Three Kingdoms era Indiscriminately killing civilians and taking their heads to make up the number, Dong Zhuo has done this kind of thing.

The total number of Wei Jun's expedition to Yinping Trail was 3, Deng Ai's men were 2000, and Tian Zhang's men were 8000. Except for the loss of 1 people on the way, the others died in battle near Jingjun Mountain. In the end, only more than [-] corpses were found.

The Shu army was very excited to cut off the heads of these corpses. For so many years, the Shu army has fought against the Wei army, and it is really rare to get so many heads. Every head is a share Credit, although the bloody head looks very embarrassing, but you really can't do without it if you want to be promoted or promoted to a noble. I am used to seeing soldiers who live and die on the battlefield, and I am used to this kind of bloody behavior.

Liu Yin noticed that Deng Ai's face was twitching slightly, maybe other people could be indifferent, but Deng Ai couldn't, these were all the soldiers he brought up with his own hands, and now they were lying on this land cold, even if they died, they couldn't enter the soil For safety, the corpses are separated, and their heads will be taken to Chengdu thousands of miles away to invite credit and reward.

This way of asking for merit in this era may be cruel, but there is no alternative. The court only recognizes the head, otherwise no one can tell how many enemies you have killed.Liu Yin could only acquiesce in this kind of behavior, but Liu Yin never moved the dead bodies of Wei soldiers who had been buried, and [-] heads were enough to cause a sensation in the whole of Sichuan.

Deng Ai couldn't bear to look any longer, and accompanied by Deng Zhong, he went back to the camp first. His back looked bleak and lonely. In just a few days, he had aged a lot, staggered, his back was bent, and his beard and hair were all white. Even people who are familiar with him may not be able to recognize him as Deng Ailai at first sight.

After Deng Ai surrendered, Deng Zhong naturally also surrendered. He changed his name to Ai Zhong, and served as a general in the Liu family's private soldiers.

After clearing the battlefield, Liu Yin led his army back to Jiangyou Pass.After arriving at Jiangyou Pass, Liu Yin immediately submitted a form to the imperial court, describing the details of the Battle of Yinping Trail, beheaded ten thousand ranks, beheaded Wei general Tian Zhang and many others, and Deng Ai led the rest of his troops to flee.

Liu Yin sent this form to Chengdu in an expedited six hundred miles, and all the troops temporarily stationed at Jiangyou Pass, waiting for news from the court.

This news set off a storm in the imperial court no less than a tenth-level typhoon. For those ministers who had vowed that the Wei soldiers would never attack from the Yinping trail, this seal was undoubtedly a slap in the face.Especially Qiao Zhou, who threatened that Wei Jun was really a soldier in Yinping Xiaodao and wrote his name upside down, when he heard the news in the court hall, his face was more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly.

Zhuge Zhan's face was not good in the case of Zhongdu Hulu Shangshu. He was a staunch opponent at the beginning, but now that the Yinping Xiaodao incident happened, voices questioning Zhuge Zhan kept coming and going. As the first and assistant minister, the pressure on Zhuge Zhan can be imagined. But there is nowhere to vent the grievances in his belly.

Liu Yin's reputation reached its peak in Chengdu. With less than a thousand private soldiers, he defeated tens of thousands of Wei troops and beheaded tens of thousands. Such a hearty victory has not happened for a long, long time. , all ended in failure. Although there were victories during the period, there was nothing to say about it. Such a grand victory like a rainbow can only be compared with it when Liu Beihao took Hanzhong when Huang Zhong set his army down the mountain and defeated Xia Houyuan, especially this victory. It happened when Hanzhong lost Shu and was at a critical juncture of life and death, which is even more precious.

Needless to say, the heartless Liu Chan is very happy. He has long since cherished his soldiers and forgot about his refusal to send troops to Liu Yin. Now Liu Yin has won a big victory in the Yinping Trail. Before beheading Ma Miao, the rebel general in Jiangyou, Liu Chan was overjoyed, and Liu Yin was indeed showing face to the old Liu's parents. Bing, this kind of credit is well done.

reward!And it must be a big prize!
In the court hall, Liu Chan sternly reprimanded those opponents, even Zhuge Zhan, the chief assistant, showed no mercy.Zhuge Zhan has always been the person Liu Chan relied on the most. At the age of 17, he was summoned as a son-in-law and entrusted with important positions. Zhuge Zhan rose steadily all the way to the position of the chief assistant of the dynasty. Nature is inseparable.This is inseparable from Liu Chan's respect and reliance on Zhuge Liang. Perhaps in Liu Chan's selfishness, only the Zhuge family is trustworthy.But this time when Deng Ai smuggled across Yinping Road, Liu Chan was still somewhat disappointed with Zhuge Zhan's decision-making ability. If Liu Yin hadn't taken the initiative to ask Ying to lead his family soldiers to fight, once Deng Ai broke Jiangyou, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liu Chan quickly appointed Li Qiu, the right governor of Yulin, as the new guard of Jiangyouguan, and led 2000 Yulin troops to station in Jiangyou.

After Ma Miao was put to death, Liu Yin had already reported to the imperial court immediately, and asked the imperial court to send a new Jiangyou gatekeeper to guard the future.However, Liu Yin's first memorial did not cause a big disturbance, and the imperial court did not respond for a long time, nor did it appoint a new Jiangyou gate guard. It was delayed for four or five days until Liu Yin's second memorial. After arriving in Beijing, it caused a sensation.Liu Chan sent Li Qiu to Jiangyou at this time, which also shows that the imperial court finally realized the importance of Jiangyou's defense. Liu Chan was able to allocate 2000 people from the small Yulin army to defend Jiangyou, which shows that Liu Chan It also began to face up to the role of Jiangyouguan.

Li Qiu led an army of [-] feathers to leave Chengdu, arrived in Jiangyou more than ten days later, and took over the defense of Jiangyou Pass from Liu Yin. Zhuo and others returned to Beijing to return to their orders.

Liu Yin handed over Jiangyou's original 3000 defenders to Li Qiu, and led his private soldiers and Fu Qian's [-] troops to leave Jiangyou for Chengdu.

There were more than 900 family soldiers who followed Liu Yin when he went out, but now when they return to Chengdu, there are only 170 or eight people left. Most of the family soldiers died heroically in this battle. Tragic.
