The last three kingdoms

Chapter 166
When Liu Yin and his party returned to Chengdu, it was already the end of the year. In the sixth year of Jingyao—no, Liu Chan changed his name to Yanxing in August, and now it should be called December of the first year of Yanxing— — the calendar row is coming to an end.Looking at the majestic and towering city walls of Chengdu not far away, Liu Yin couldn't help feeling infinitely emotional.

In the calendar of the Great Han Dynasty, the first year of Yanxing is the end point. The Han Dynasty, which lasted for 460 five years, came to an end in this year, and the Great Han Dynasty was extinct from then on.Although there are still some dynasties in the history of later generations that have continued to use the country name of Han, such as Zhao Han, Cheng Han in the period of Sixteen Kingdoms, and Later Han, Southern Han, and Northern Han in the period of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but it is just a country name. The continuation of the dynasty established with Liu Bang as the founding emperor's lineage of the Liu family ended in 263 AD after experiencing the three dynasties of the former Han, the later Han, and the Ji Han.

However, the course of history has quietly changed at this moment, and the Shu Han regime will undoubtedly enter the second year of Yanxing. From this point of view, Liu Yin has changed history, from an insignificant traveler to a Maker of new history.The second year of Yanxing will be a brand new era. For Liu Yin, it will also be a strange era. All the memories of the previous life will be reset to zero, and will lose any meaning of reference. To welcome him, There will be more opportunities and challenges.

Looking at the city walls of Chengdu, Deng Ai's mood was even more unsettled. He had fantasized about seeing the city of Chengdu more than once, but it was unexpected for Deng Ai to come under the city of Chengdu in his current capacity.

He used to be a feudal official with power all over the world, and he was once a leading figure in the wind and clouds, but now, he has to hide his name and is willing to be someone else's retainer and staff. The change of status and status, between success and frustration, such a big gap, Let Deng Ai have a sense of ups and downs.Deng Ai would never accept this humiliation if it was just for the sake of surviving. He would rather choose to kill himself with a horizontal sword than bend his knees and turn his back.Sima Yi had the kindness to support him. If it weren't for Sima Yi's insight to recognize talents, Deng Ai, who stuttered, was doomed to be a mediocre official all his life. This kind of knowledge made Deng Ai unable to rebel against Wei and descend to Shu.

As for the family members who stayed in Wei State, Deng Ai was not too worried. For Wei generals who voluntarily surrendered or were forced to surrender to Shu State after defeat, the Wei State court has always been very generous. He was not implicated either, and after Guo Xun descended to Shu, his family was safe and sound (afterwards Guo Xun assassinated Fei Yi, and his son was named Liehou).

But what Deng Ai couldn't let go of was the enmity with Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui held a high position and held nearly half of Wei's military power. Wanting revenge, for Deng Ai at this time, was no different than going to heaven.So Deng Ai had no choice but to let go of his dignity and become Liu Yin's retainer incognito. He put all his bets on Liu Yin. Although this young man's qualifications are still young, Deng Ai believes that given time, he will surely skyrocket. .

"Brother, look quickly, there are quite a lot of people waiting for us!" Zhang Le said excitedly, pointing to the front.

Outside the north gate of Chengdu, flags were fluttering and crowds of people gathered, obviously to welcome them into the city.

Today, Prince Liu Sui was waiting outside the north gate, leading the kings and hundreds of civil and military officials under two thousand shi, including Beidi Wang Liu Zhan and Xinxing Wang Liu Xun.Such a welcoming ceremony was naturally ordered by Liu Chan. As the king of a country, Liu Chan must not go out of the city to greet him. In order to show his respect, Liu Chan specially arranged for the crown prince Liu Zhen to represent him.

Everyone from Liu Yin hurriedly got off their horses and greeted the princes, kings and ministers.Prince Liu Su strictly followed the rules of etiquette. Although he and Liu Yin were cousins, they didn't have a close friendship. They just exchanged a few words with Liu Yin according to the etiquette that should be followed, and never said a single unnecessary nonsense. .

But Xinxing Wang Liu Xun's expression was worse than swallowing a fly. Originally, he didn't want to come, but he didn't dare to disobey the order. Standing behind Liu Zhen, looking at Liu Yin, who is so beautiful, he felt jealous. I hate it.

The king of the North, Liu Chen, was completely different. He took Liu Yin's hand, asked for his warmth, and even praised him, which made Liu Yin feel ashamed.

The common people in Chengdu lined the road to greet each other, burned incense and kowtowed. There was a crowd of people and cheers. Everyone wanted to see the demeanor of Liu Yin and others, so that the roads were blocked and difficult to pass.In the end, the Yulin Army had to be used to maintain order, so that Liu Yin and his party came to the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace smoothly.

To see the emperor, of course, these thousands of people can't go to the palace in a mess. Some military officials have come to arrange Liu Yin and Fu Qian's subordinates properly. Only Liu Yin, Fu Qian, Zhang Le, and Zhao are really qualified to go to the palace. Zhuo waited for a few people.

Liu Yin had already secretly ordered Ah Jian to take Deng Ai and his son back to the mansion first. After all, there are so many people in Chengdu that there will be no one who knows Deng Ai. He and Fu Qian and others came to Wuyimen, waiting for Liu Chan's summoning.

Soon there were deacons and eunuchs leading Liu Yin and the others to the palace.

Liu Chan sat in the middle. Compared with a few months ago, Liu Yin found that Liu Chan had gained a lot of weight, probably because he was in a better mood. Liu Chan had a cute smile, and his white and tender chin was very cute—of course, Only Liu Yin would use the adjective cute to the emperor.

There is no reason for Liu Chan not to be in a good mood. The Yinping blocking battle can be described as the most glorious victory. Liu Yin led more than a thousand people to defeat tens of thousands of Wei troops in one fell swoop. This is a victory that Liu Chan has never had since he became emperor. After returning in vain, Liu Chan got a headache when he heard about the war. Never before had such good news lifted his spirits.Although it is said that Deng Ai was not captured and killed, the result of beheading the [-]-level is enough to cause a sensation in Yizhou.Moreover, this victory fundamentally reversed the decline of Shu Han, and the haze of Hanzhong's fall was swept away. Many optimistic people even began to plan for the great cause of regaining Hanzhong and then the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

Liu Chan was not stingy about rewarding Liu Yin this time. In addition to rewarding a large amount of gold, silver and satin, Liu Chan named him Zhijinwu, commanding the entire Lieutenant's Mansion, and named him General Anxi, commanding the three battalions. Besides the first battalion, the Hubu battalion and the Huqi battalion were also officially under Liu Yin's command at this time.

Although Fu Qian had the failure of Yang'an Pass, he made great contributions to assisting Yinping. He still served as the governor of Guanzhong, and was promoted from General Zuo Zhonglang to General of the Town Army.

Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo followed Liu Yin for their meritorious service in defending against the enemy, and they were specially named Fenwu Zhonglang General and Jianwei Zhonglang General.

There are officers in Liu Yin's army, and all of them are rewarded.
