The last three kingdoms

Chapter 231 Evidence
Lu Kang's capture of Fucheng undoubtedly had the greatest impact on the court of the Shu Han Dynasty. The later lord Liu Chan and his officials were in deep shock and panic. The biggest reason was that there were only [-] to [-] Imperial Forest Army in Chengdu, and the serious shortage of troops brought The most important thing is the lack of sense of security. At this time, Huang Hao proposed to call Liu Yin from Qi County to help Chengdu, and Liu Chan agreed without even thinking about it.

The process of drafting the imperial decree and sending out the envoys was completed in less than a moment, which would have been unimaginable in the past.

After the imperial decree was issued, Liu Chan was looking forward to it in the palace, looking forward to the early return of Liu Yin's reinforcements to defend the capital.

But after waiting for a day, there was no movement.

After waiting for two days, there was still no movement.

On the third day, there was still no news of Liu Yin's return to the army, and Liu Chan obviously couldn't sit still.

At this time, the ministers headed by Qiao Zhou and Zhang Jun jointly impeached Liu Yin. His soldiers returned to Chengdu immediately.

Huang Hao also whispered in Liu Chan's ear: "Your view is that Liu Yin is ambitious and has the heart of a tiger and a wolf. When he first took over the military power, he already disobeyed the imperial decree. If his wings grow stronger in the future, how can he take His Majesty seriously?" , his intention to seek rebellion is clearly revealed, Your Majesty must guard against it."

Liu Chan had no idea at this time, so he planned to replace Liu Yin with Dong Jue in command of the army according to the advice of the ministers.

At this time, Zhang Shao came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. General Liu Yin of Anxi was ordered to save the defeat in the battle of Qidong. It is due to the court. Your Majesty did not reward him according to his merits, but he wanted to punish him. Isn't it true?" Have you lost the hearts of soldiers defending the border against the enemy? Liu Yin is loyal to the country and wholeheartedly defending the Han Dynasty. I would like to use my seal and ribbon to guarantee that Liu Yin will never have two ambitions. I am willing to ask your majesty to issue an edict to announce his return to Beijing again."

Liu Chan nodded in agreement, and sent another decree to make Liu Yin the general of Anxi, command the three armies, and return to the army immediately.But Zhengzheng also received clear instructions from the court. If Liu Yin still refused to obey the order, he would be dismissed and sent to prison immediately.

But it was only at this time that he realized that Liu Yin's refusal to obey the order was not because he had any intention of rebellion, but because he had other plans to retreat from the enemy.But the key issue now is that there are no soldiers to defend in Chengdu, and the emperor and all the ministers are in a state of panic. Even if Liu Yin's memorial has not been concealed by Huang Hao, it may not be able to get the approval of the emperor.But he is not good at military affairs, but his decades of official career have made him very clear about the infighting in the court. If Zhang Shao hadn't used his wealth and life to protect Liu Yin this time, it is very likely that Liu Yin would have lost his official position by now. Dismissed, the political vortex is far more terrifying and darker than fighting on the battlefield.

But what happened in the court was right but not easy to tell Liu Yin clearly, coughed lightly and said: "General Liu's intention is clear, but His Majesty's will is clear and correct, I'm afraid there will be no violation. General It is better to report to His Majesty after returning to Beijing according to the order, after all, rumors are terrible."

Liu Yin was clever, but although he was vague, he also sensitively captured a few key words. The rumors were terrible, and it should be that there were words against him in the court. Since Huang Hao dared to hide his memorial It is even more expected to slander in front of Liu Chan, and Qiao Zhou and his like who were severely beaten in the face last time, I am afraid that they will not be at ease at this moment.

With these people holding back, it might not be easy to accomplish something great.

Infighting!Endless infighting!Where did the regime of the Shu Han die? Isn't it because of endless internal friction?The country is already in the most perilous moment, and some people still can't forget to fight each other and ignore the righteousness of the country's survival. What's the use of such treacherous ministers?

A moment of sadness flashed through Liu Yin's heart. Could it be that the court of Shuhan has really reached the point where there is no cure?
Liu Yin said with difficulty: "Okay, Sir, please go down to rest for a while, and I will go to gather troops and horses, and set off at Youshi."

Seeing that Liu Yin nodded in agreement, but as if relieved of a heavy burden, he smiled and retreated.

"Brother, do you really want to return to Beijing according to the order? In this way, our grand plan will be ruined once, and let those Wu dogs sit guarding Fucheng, I'm so fucking unwilling." Zhang Le heard that Liu Yin was about to Go back to Beijing and go right away.

Liu Yin said helplessly: "The court issued two imperial decrees in a row, and if you don't return to Beijing, it will be a crime of beheading."

Fu Qian said a little seriously: "Wenxuan, the king's destiny is greater than the sky, and the imperial decree cannot be violated. Let's wait until we return to Beijing to make a fuss."

Liu Yin nodded. The current situation does not allow him to make other choices. Everything has to be decided after returning to Chengdu. Although it is a pity for Liu Yin that he failed to realize his plan, he also I can only leave Qi County with regret.

Liu Yin ordered the battalions to pack up immediately and prepare to set off at You hour.As for the defense of Qi County, it was handed over to the prefect of Dongguanghan County.

Now that the main force of the Wu army led by Lu Kang has moved to Fucheng, Chengdu's defensive center of gravity has shifted from the east to the north. Relatively speaking, Qi County's defensive position has become insignificant. In fact, the imperial court asked Liu Yin to withdraw from Qi County. And retreating to Chengdu is not inappropriate from a strategic point of view, but they don't know that Liu Yin still has means to fight back in Qi County.

All the generals looked gloomy, and took the order to leave. In the empty hall, only Liu Yin stood silently.

Wei Xuewu quietly appeared behind Liu Yin again, she is always so mysterious, coming and going without a trace, people who are not used to it are often scared to death, but Liu Yin has long been used to it. as usual.Wei Xuewu herself is a top killer, her steps are light, and she can walk as silently as a cat.

"The general is in a bad mood, isn't it good to go back to Chengdu?" Wei Xuewu is just a soldier, and she doesn't know Liu Yin's plan to counterattack the Wu Ren Liang Dao, and there are people in the army who can participate in such secrets At best, there are only a few Liao Miu, all of whom are senior generals.

Liu Yin sighed and said: "Lu Kang's sneak attack on Fucheng was originally just a dangerous move. I had my own plan to defeat the enemy, but Huang Hao got in the way and hid the memorial I submitted to the court. Your Majesty didn't understand his meaning and repeatedly Urging the troops to return to Beijing, ruining the plan to destroy the enemy, how can you feel good?"

Wei Xuewu raised his eyebrows, and said: "Huang Hao is acting as a hindrance? Presumably Huang Hao colluded with the Wu people, wanting to ruin the general's plan to help the Wu people. Such a treacherous man, why didn't the general get rid of him?"

"Huang Hao is the emperor's favored minister. If there is no real evidence, how easy is it to overthrow him?" Liu Yin shook his head and smiled wryly.

Wei Xuewu showed a strange smile and said, "You want evidence? How difficult is it?"
