The last three kingdoms

Chapter 199
Under the leadership of Zhuge Zhan, the Han army left Chengdu in mighty force and marched eastward, with banners covering the sun, spears and halberds like forests, and the momentum was majestic.

Liu Yin secretly observed that although Zhuge Zhan had not formally gone to war, he was orderly when marching, and the barriers were strict and the tents were well-organized when he camped. Zhan has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he is well versed in the art of war. He really has the style of his father.

However——Liu Yin shook his head secretly and sighed. On the surface, Zhuge Zhan seemed to have a fortified army, but with these alone, could he be able to fight?Liu Yin still remembers the battle of Mianzhu in history. That battle concerning the future and destiny of the Shu Han was finally ruined by Zhuge Zhan's low-level mistakes. Zhuge Zhan only learned the superficial aspects of Zhuge Liang and thought he was invincible , but in front of the experienced Deng Ai, he was as white as a primary school student.

Perhaps Zhuge Zhan lacked experience. Famous generals like Deng Ai came up from the grassroots step by step. He is an extremely human minister, but this kind of life experience is hardly helpful to him in commanding and fighting. People who grow up in good times are generally more arrogant and arrogant, but when they encounter setbacks, they are obviously more resistant than those who grew up in adversity. Low pressure capacity.

If Zhuge Liang could live for a few more years, and if Zhuge Zhan could spend more time on the border front, maybe the tragedy of the Battle of Mianzhu would not be repeated, but this kind of assumption is impossible. Zhuge Zhan, Zong Yu, Zhang Yi, and Liao Hua are all on the front line now, and there is really no one else who can hold military power in Chengdu except Zhuge Zhan. History has once again pushed Zhuge Zhan to the fore to shoulder the rise and fall of the Shu Han burden.

But his opponent was replaced by Lu Kang from Deng Ai.Although Lu Kang is unknown now, he is the last famous general in Soochow. Lu Kang's battle of fame was the Battle of Xiling a few years later. Killing the rebel general Buchan, this battle also made Lu Kang famous all over the world.The mighty Western Jin Dynasty had the chance to destroy the State of Wu 17 years after the State of Shu was destroyed. It is precisely because Lu Kangrong guarded the border for more than ten years that the people of Jin never dared to cross the thunder pool. After the death of Lu Kang, the State of Wu lost its mainstay , but within a few years it was swallowed up by the Western Jin Dynasty.

At this time, Zhuge Zhan didn't know how terrifying his opponent was. The big banner is also fluttering in the wind, which does not conceal the complacency of the coach.

Liu Yin really wanted to remind Zhuge Zhan to pay enough attention to Lu Kang, but Liu Yin swallowed the words again. Although he said that Zhuge Zhan had a much more friendly attitude towards him after the conversation on the expedition, but he didn't think so. It doesn't mean that he can speak out in front of Zhuge Zhan.At this moment, Lu Kang is indeed unknown, he only holds the title of Lu Xun's son, and he can't show any impressive achievements. If Zhuge Zhan believes that Lu Kang is a terrible opponent, Liu Yin can't come up with anything impressive. Convincing words come.

Compared with Liu Yin, it seems that Yan Yu's relationship with Zhuge Zhan is closer.Yan Yu had a signature smile on his face, and he was even more respectful to Zhuge Zhan. He obeyed Zhuge Zhan's orders, and Yan Yu carried out Zhuge Zhan's orders to the letter.Although Zhuge Zhan knew that Yan Yu and Huang Hao had a good relationship, he didn't reach out his hand to smile. Besides, Yan Yu was also a rare important general in Sichuan. Zheng, Zhuge Zhan still relies heavily on him in many ways, so the relationship between the two seems to be very harmonious.

It is not difficult for Yan Yu to curry favor with Zhuge Zhan. Zhuge Zhan is not only the commander of this expedition, but also the chief minister of the court.

But what puzzled Liu Yin was that Yan Yu not only deliberately made friends with Zhuge Zhan, but also had an extremely friendly attitude with himself, even considered humility. It stands to reason that Yan Yu was the right general, although Liu Chan banned the general Title, but his rank is still higher than Liu Yin's General Anxi, so there is no need to curry favor with him?

In just a few days, the army had already arrived at Qixian County, the county seat of Dongguanghan County.Dongguanghan County is a new county established by analyzing the four eastern counties of Guanghan County during the Yanxi period. It only has four counties under its jurisdiction, and its area is not large, but it is the east gateway of Chengdu, and its strategic location is extremely dangerous.

Qi County is also the line of defense planned by Liu Yin this time, and Zhuge Zhan has no intention of stopping the march so far, which makes Liu Yin secretly anxious.

The army stayed in Qi County for one night, and when it was ready to dispatch the next morning, Liu Yin looked forward to it, and finally waited for the "good" news from A Jian.For the sake of prudence, Liu Yin did not send ordinary scouts, but sent A Jian, who was best at scouting and tracking, to Jiangzhou to spy on the military situation.Sure enough, Ah Jian lived up to Liu Yin's expectations, and got the latest information on Wu Jun's movements in the shortest possible time, and immediately returned to report to Liu Yin.

This news is "good news" for Liu Yin, but it is undoubtedly a disaster for the army of Shu Han. Approaching Deyang, it is only three or four days away from Qi County.Moreover, the number of Wu's army was not at all the [-] people expected before, but a full [-] troops, which was more than double the number of the Shu army.

Obviously, after conquering Yong'an, the Wu army immediately increased its troops to the east of Sichuan on a large scale. One hundred thousand troops entered Sichuan. It seems that the appetite of the Wu people must not be limited to the counties in the east of Sichuan. Their ambition is to win the entire Yizhou.

Since the Wu army blocked the entire land and water transportation in eastern Sichuan after conquering Yong'an, the Shu Han court didn't know much about the situation in Yong'an. If Luo Xi hadn't come to report, I'm afraid Wu Jun would really come to Chengdu and wake up like a dream.Even so, the Shu Han Dynasty's estimate of the situation was still too optimistic. It believed that the Wu army's strength in Sichuan was at most [-] to [-], and it was estimated that they had not yet reached Jiangzhou, let alone pose a danger to Chengdu.

But in fact, the Wu people's determination to swallow Shu at this time is unusually strong. Not only is their strength far beyond the estimates of the Shu people, but their swift action is even more unexpected. The northern attack reached Deyang and came directly to Chengdu.

Liu Yin didn't dare to delay, so he rushed straight to Zhuge Zhan's camp.
