The last three kingdoms

Chapter 445 Jiang Bin
Formerly known as Mianyang County, Seoul was only a small county between Nanzheng and Yang'anguan before the heavy troops were stationed there. After Jiang Wei implemented the plan to gather troops and gather valleys, Seoul's status rose sharply, even surpassing Nanzheng and becoming Hanzhong. After the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion was evacuated from Hanzhong, where the county government was located, Jiang Bin, the guard of Seoul, also became the de facto supreme commander of Hanzhong.

It's just that the Wei army's attack two years ago turned Seoul into an isolated island, and Jiang Bin's influence has since been confined within the walls of Seoul.After the fall of Yang'an Pass, the Wei army aggressively invaded Shu, and Jiang Wei was forced to retreat to the Jiange.

The only thing that made Jiang Bin feel gratified was that Zhong Hui's army was eager to go south, and didn't seem to care much about attacking the Second City of Hanyue. They just sent [-] troops from Li Fu and Xun Kai to besiege the Second City of Hanyue.Zhong Hui is also very clear that the Second City of Hanle is the two fortresses that Jiang Wei painstakingly managed. The road into Nishikawa.After capturing Yang'an Pass, the status of the Second City of Hanle plummeted, and it no longer had much strategic value. As long as it was besieged for a long time, there would always be a day when the city would run out of food, and these two fortresses would naturally be within easy reach.

At the same time, Zhong Hui showed off his literary talents and calligraphy, and wrote a letter of persuading Jiang Bin to surrender. In the letter, he praised Jiang Bin's father and persuaded him to surrender.

But Jiang Bin is not like Ju An and Jiang Shu. After becoming Jiang Wan, the famous minister of Shu, Jiang Bin not only inherited his father's title, but also inherited Jiang Wan's upright and dignified character. Impatient, neither humble nor overbearing, his gentle words gave Zhong Hui a soft nail.

The defense of Seoul City is solid, but there are few soldiers in the city, which is not enough to support the decision to go out of the city and the Wei army. All Jiang Bin can do is to stick to it and stick to it. This persistence is a full year and half a year time.

With the passage of time, it became more and more difficult to hold on to Seoul. Wei Jun set up strongholds outside the city and dug deep trenches, encircling Seoul completely, and the defenders of Seoul were completely cut off from the outside world.

Although the defense of Seoul is sufficient, and the storage of food and grass materials is also sufficient, if the abundant food and grass are only consumed and not replenished, it is only a matter of time before they are exhausted.Another spring is coming, and the granary in Seoul has bottomed out, which makes Jiang Bin very worried. Without food and grass, the city of Seoul will not be able to hold on no matter what.

Just when Jiang Bin was worried about the future and fate of Seoul, the Wei army who besieged the city suddenly retreated. Overnight, the Wei army's camp became empty and there was no one left.

Jiang Bin couldn't help being inexplicably surprised. He couldn't figure out why Wei Jun suddenly withdrew.After the Wei army withdrew, the brigades of the Shu army arrived one after another. Jiang Bin saw Wang She, Liu Yin, Lu Xun and others, and only then did he understand the reason.

Jiang Bin went out of the city to meet Liu Yin in person, with a respectful attitude.This is not only because Liu Yin's position is higher than him, but more importantly, Liu Yin's immortal achievements are unprecedented.Jiang Bin was born in a famous family. When his father was alive, he was the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty. Jiang Bin naturally did not need to look up to others when he was a child, but what Jiang Bin admired most in his life was a hero. This feat of Liu Yin deeply shocked him. Liu Yin liked it very much.

Liu Yin was also full of praise for Jiang Bin. After being trapped in the isolated city for such a long time, it would have been impossible for others to persist. Whether it was Jiang Bin, Wang Han or Liu Yin, they used their tenacious will and strength to overcome the extremely difficult situation. The tenacious belief has persisted, and he is worthy of being the most loyal general of the Shu Han.

With the settlement of the siege of Seoul, the history of the siege of the three key passes in Hanzhong finally came to an end, and the entire Hanzhong returned to the embrace of the Shu Han.It took only ten days from when the soldiers came out of Ziwu Valley to when the siege was cleared in Seoul, Liu Yin's army swept across the entire Hanzhong Plain. The arrogant and invincible Wei army was fleeing at the moment, and even lost the courage to fight. .

Liu Yin originally thought that the Wei army would fight a blocking battle at all costs. After all, the second city of Hanle had been besieged for so long, and it was almost time to reap the fruits of victory. It was only then that the siege of the Second City of Hanle was abandoned, and the troops were withdrawn to defend Yang'an Pass.

Rescuing the Second City of Hanle is just the first link in Liu Yin's strategic steps. The most important key is how to win Yang'an.Yang'an Pass is the throat of Hanzhong. Only when Yang'an Pass is mastered can Hanzhong be taken in a real sense. At the same time, it can also be the most direct threat to Zhonghui who is in Shu.

Liu Yin has a big appetite. Zhonghui's 10,000+ army has entered the Hanzhong Shu area. The food and logistics support all depend on these few valley roads in Hanzhong. Wan Dajun fell into a desperate situation.

If Zhonghui heard the news that the grain road was cut off, he would definitely send troops to help him immediately, so Liu Yin had to take down Yang'an Pass before Zhonghui's reinforcements arrived, and seal Zhonghui's retreat .

So after the army arrived in Seoul, Liu Yin hardly stopped, picked up his troops, drove forward, and went straight to Yang'an Pass.

Now Liu Yin's military strength, in addition to the five battalions and 5000 troops he brought into Ziwu Road this time, also includes the 7000 troops of the Shu army in Hanzhong.At the beginning, more than [-] people stayed in Hanzhong. After two years of arduous battles against the enemy, the strength of the Shu army in Hanzhong decreased sharply, leaving less than half of its troops. Among them, Lu Xun suffered the most heavy losses. Except for Lu Xun, among the four leading guerrilla captains, the other three troops were almost wiped out.

This time Liu Yin's soldiers encircled Yang'an Pass, they naturally concentrated and integrated the remnants of the Hanzhong Shu Army and divided them into two battalions, named Hancheng Camp and Lecheng Camp, commanded by Jiang Bin and Wang She respectively. Dissatisfied with the editor, but the morale of the Shu army is quite high, and they are united as one, actively participating in the siege operations.

From Seoul all the way to the west, crossing Dingjun Mountain, you can clearly see the familiar city walls of Yang'an City. At the beginning, Fu Qian fought fiercely with the Wei army at Yang'an Pass. It was because of Jiang Shu's betrayal that Yang'an Pass It was finally lost, and now that Liu Yin has returned to Yang'an Pass, he can't help but secretly swear that no matter how much Wei Jun eats, he will spit it out with profit.
