The last three kingdoms

Chapter 352

Contrary to Liu Yin's expectation, when the rescue army led by him just entered Jincheng County, all the Qiang people who besieged Jincheng retreated. Obviously, the shock brought by the Xiangwu battle to the Qiang people was relatively large. The big one, with 4 or [-] horses, was almost wiped out.

The total strength of the Qiang people is not small, at least there are at least [-] people in all the ministries, but after the invasion of Longyou, most of the troops were scattered, which gave Liu Yin a chance to defeat them individually.

Liu Yin's army is like a sharp knife, with continuous battles and victories, rushing furiously across the land of Longyou, the Qiang people dare not fight with it. After the news, they retreated in a hurry, and the siege of Jincheng was solved in the most incredible way.

Liu Yin led his troops to the base of the city, and Nie Kai, the captain of Jincheng, went out of the city to meet him personally and went up to pay homage.

Nie Kai was originally the military commander of Hubu Battalion. He was transferred to Jincheng Captain by Liu Yin's order. He can be regarded as Liu Yin's confidant. Liu Yin also greatly appreciated his outstanding performance in the defense of Jincheng. sentence.

Looking around, seeing that Jincheng prefect Yang Xin was not among them, Liu Yin asked, "Where is prefect Yang?"

Nie Kai reported: "This time defending Yuzhong, Governor Yang came to the front line in person. He took the lead and never slept. He fainted on the top of the city a few hours ago. At last, the general has been carried back to the mansion to rest." Speaking of Yang Xin, Nie Kai said With a face full of admiration, Yang Xin was willing to take a shot at the head of the city to supervise the battle. He was an example in the defense battle of Yuzhong. As the highest official of Jincheng County, Yang Xin's performance was indeed commendable. Yuzhong was not lost, and Yang Xin contributed the most .

Liu Yin nodded, and said: "Prefect Yang has contributed so much to defend the city. Nie Kai, you lead the way, and I want to visit him in person."

Nie Kai took the order and led the way, and the group went straight to the prefect's mansion.

Yang Xin was shocked when he heard the news, but he quickly calmed down and went to the gate of the mansion with Yang Hu to meet Liu Yin.

"See the general for a humble position." After seeing Liu Yin, Yang Xin took the first step to salute.

Liu Yin and Yang Xin had never met before, but this did not prevent the two from getting to know each other. Even if Nie Kai wasn't there to guide them, there were only two people who came out to greet them. Then he recognized Yang Xin.In Jincheng County, Yang Xin is the only official with a silver seal and green ribbon of two thousand stones.

Liu Yin took a step forward, supported each other with both hands, and said: "Prefect Yang is exempt from courtesy. I heard that Prefect Yang became sick from overwork for defending the city, so Liu Moute came to visit. I wonder if Prefect Yang has ever recovered."

Yang Xin hurriedly said: "The humble position is no longer a serious problem, I would like to trouble the general to come to visit, I am deeply honored by the humble position, I dare not be ashamed."

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "Everything that Prefect Yang has done for the people of Jincheng is obvious to all. He is not afraid in the face of danger, forgets to die, takes the lead in the soldiers, and devotes all his efforts to the preservation of Jincheng. Prefect Yang has contributed a lot."

Yang Xin cupped his hands and said: "The general is too well-reputed, the humble job is to fulfill the responsibility of a county guard, what is the merit?"

"Prefect Yang is as modest as he is, and he is not proud of his contributions. He is also a true righteous man. Who is this?" Liu Yin looked at the young man beside Yang Xin. Since he could stand with Yang Xin, he must have a good relationship.

Yang Xin hurriedly introduced: "This is Yang Hu, the dog. Yang Hu, I haven't seen the general yet."

Yang Hu immediately bowed his hands and said: "Yang Hu pays his respects to the general."

Liu Yin smiled and said: "The tiger father really has no dogs, and Yang Taishou, son is covered in blood. He must have fought bloody battles with the Qiang people for a long time. He is a young hero!"

After Yang Hu returned to the mansion, he was dressed in blood, and before he could change it, Liu Yin had already arrived, so he had to leave the mansion with Yang Xin, but Yang Hu's blood can demonstrate his military achievements, and Liu Yin's praise was also expected.

But Nie Kai beside him said, "I haven't seen Mr. Yang on the city wall these two days, where did Mr. Yang get injured?"

Yang Hu couldn't help but Yang Xin said first: "The dog was ordered by me to go out of the city to investigate the military situation of the Qiang people. On the way back, he was attacked by the Qiang people, and all his troops were killed in battle. Quan Zi also escaped after a deadly battle, and it is inevitable that he will be covered with scars. General, this is not a place to talk, please go to the mansion to talk again."

Liu Yin glanced at Yang Hu, nodded, and accompanied by Yang Xin, entered the prefect's mansion.

Soon, Deng Pu, Fu Zhu, Qian Hong, and Ma Rong, the new general of Zhonglang, all rushed to Jincheng Prefect's Mansion, where Liu Yin held a temporary meeting to discuss the next action plan.

After recruiting [-] Qiang soldiers, Liu Yin temporarily organized them into a battalion, and Ma Rong, the supervisor under the tent, served as the general of the battalion.

Because the Qiang people withdrew very quickly, the Shu army almost fled after entering Jincheng. Now the Shu army solved the crisis in Jincheng completely without bloodshed. However, several subordinates had disagreements about the next step plan.

Qianhong took the lead and said: "After the Qiang people have retreated and the siege of Jincheng in Longxi has been lifted, the general should return to Tianshui as soon as possible. Sima Wang is in Chang'an, and he may invade Longyou at any time. Sima Wang's troops are stronger than the Qiang people. It's Longyou's confidant's serious trouble, and I believe that the general should first take care of the Eastern Front in order to deal with Sima Wang's attack."

Yang Hong did not expect Liu Yin to defeat the Xiqiang soldiers who were known as one hundred thousand cavalry with only [-] cavalry. At this time, Qianhong even suggested that Liu Yin immediately withdraw his soldiers from the western front and reinforce the eastern front. All the hard work was in vain.

So Yang Hong immediately said: "The eunuch Qiang's remarks are unreasonable. The Qiang people retreated because they were afraid of the general's force. If the general retreats and the Qiang people come back again, how can Jincheng and Longxi be resisted? The humble official believes that if the evil is eliminated and the threat of the Qiang people is not completely resolved, the general should not return to the army easily."

Liu Yin nodded, and said: "What Yang Taishou said is very true, and someone is also discussing this. The Qiang people's rebellion this time seems to be connected with Sima on the east front. If we take this opportunity and don't annihilate or subdue them in one fell swoop, then , it will inevitably make a comeback, I am afraid that Longyou will fall into the situation of being attacked from both sides. It's just that the attack on Qiang this time lacks a guide, and the terrain in Xiping is dangerous, so it is not easy."

Yang Hong immediately said: "I have been in Xijiang for a long time, and I am familiar with the road in Xiping. I would like to be the guide of the general."

Liu Yin said in a deep voice: "Okay, since Prefect Yang took the initiative to act as a guide, and there is no delay in suppressing the rebellion against Xiqiang, I have ordered that the army rest in Yuzhong for a day, and set off tomorrow to attack Xiqiang."
