The last three kingdoms

Chapter 467
The Shu Han's use of troops against Shangyong had to be traced back to before the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty. After Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, the army was very powerful and energetic, so he sent Meng Da and Liu Feng to attack Shangyong, Xicheng, and Fangling. At that time, Liu Bei The land straddles Jingyi, full of ambition, and has the intention of competing for the world.

But Liu Bei's brilliance was only a flash in the pan. Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and lost Jingzhou, and Meng Da brought the three eastern counties to surrender to Wei.Losing the Shu Han regime in Jingzhou and the three counties east of Shangyong, they could only retreat to Ba Shu Han in the end. Although the barrier of mountains and rivers was conducive to defense, it was also not conducive to offense. In the following decades, Shu Han frequently used troops abroad , but has been trapped within the high mountains of Shu, unable to advance an inch.

Because the capricious Meng Da was not treated well in Wei State, he felt rebellious again and wanted to return to Shuhan, but Sima Yi didn't give him another chance. After Meng Da died, the East Three Counties became silent again. Obscurity.Compared with Guanlong, where wars continue, although it is also on the border of Wei and Shu, for more than [-] years, there has never been a war in the three eastern counties, and a state of peace has been maintained.

During the period when Jiang Wan was in power, he proposed a plan to go east along the Mianshui River and take the three eastern counties. However, as soon as this plan was put forward, it was opposed by all parties. The reason is very simple. It is easy to send troops by water, but If you fail, it will be difficult to return.Under the resistance of all parties, this plan was finally aborted, and after Jiang Wan passed away, no one mentioned the plan to take Shangyong from the east.

Dongsan County is an area with a relatively special geographical environment. There are many mountains, dangerous mountains and rivers. , long-term isolation.

It is indeed very difficult to attack the three eastern counties. It is easy to attack and difficult to defend. From the middle of the Han Dynasty, the terrain descends in steps. The attack is like a tiger descending the mountain, but the retreat is a high mountain. Very inapplicable.

But Liu Yin had no choice at the moment, Sima Zhao tried to resolve Zhonghui's crisis by besieging Wei and saving Zhao, so why couldn't he use his own way to deal with him?
On the same day, Liu Yin led his troops to leave Yang'an Pass. The soldiers and horses in Hanzhong still stayed in Hanzhong, Jiang Bin still guarded Seoul, and Wang She still guarded Lecheng. Thousands of Wei troops surrendered, but Liu Yin took away none of them.

Hanzhong has always been the defense area of ​​General Jiang Wei, and the soldiers and horses stationed in Hanzhong are also directly under Jiang Wei's jurisdiction. It's just that in the past two years, the siege of Hanzhong was besieged by the Wei army, and they had to fight on their own. Lost contact.Now that Hanzhong is recovered, these troops will naturally have to be rebuilt, and Liu Yin did not use a single soldier in Hanzhong.

Each unit has different affiliations. For the needs of combat, generals with higher ranks can temporarily command troops elsewhere. However, after the war, the original organizational system and affiliation cannot be mistaken.When Liu Yin's Anxi Army was established, Fu Qian's Yang'an Camp was originally under Jiang Wei's command. After Liu Chan's special approval, it was placed under Liu Yin's command.

With Liu Yin's current authority, it is naturally impossible to assign the Hanzhong army to his own army. Of course, Liu Yin did not intend to annex the Hanzhong army, let alone intensify the conflict with Jiang Wei.In the face of a great enemy, internal strife is tantamount to the most stupid approach. Only by uniting with the outside world can there be hope of victory.

Jiang Bin, Wang She, and Liu Yin went out of the city to see them off in person. For them, Liu Yin was undoubtedly a savior. If Liu Yin hadn't come to the rescue, maybe there is still gold in Lecheng, Seoul, which has fallen by now, and has persisted for nearly two years. At that time, the Shu army in Hanzhong was really at the end of its strength.

"I don't dare to thank you for your great kindness. If General Liu can get something from me, Jiang, in the future, he will just open his mouth and Bin will repay it with his death." Jiang Bin cupped his hands and said, the words were sincere and from the bottom of his heart.Wang She and Liu Yin also expressed their gratitude. Liu Yin made great contributions to Hanzhong.

Liu Yin smiled indifferently and said: "General Jiang is too polite. We are both ministers of the Han Dynasty. It is our duty to help each other. There is no need to thank you. Sending you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell. Please go back, Hanzhong's defense, please Everyone, I hope that in the future, we will have the opportunity to fight side by side again on the battlefield against Wei."

Jiang Bin, Wang She, Liu Yin and Liu Yin bid farewell to each other, watching Liu Yin ride away on horseback, could not help but sigh.

Liu Yin left Hanzhong like this, waving his sleeves lightly, not taking half of the clouds with him.

But Liu Yin's heart was still full of heavy gains, and the smooth recovery of Hanzhong was somewhat beyond Liu Yin's expectations.The recovery of Hanzhong is of great significance to Liu Yin's army based in Guanlong. Without any worries, the entire Guanlong area will become as solid as a rock. A counterattack from Guandong is enough. There are mountains and rivers in danger from Tongguan to Wuguan. The Qiang Qin back then was able to view the world because it was sitting in the middle of Guandong.

Thinking back to when he traveled back then, the Shu Han was about to fall, the country was in danger, and the entire Han Dynasty was in a precarious situation. Liu Yin insisted on relying on his own strength to turn the tide and fought a bloody battle in the desperate situation.Now that Guanlong is in control, Hanzhong has been restored, and even most of the land of Bashu has been recovered. The most critical moment of the Shuhan regime has passed. Next, it is time to consolidate the existing territory and prepare to wait for the opportunity to expand the results of the war. Liu Yin I believe that as long as it continues to develop unremittingly, the revival of the Han Dynasty will not be empty talk.

After arriving at Jinjin, Liu Yin ordered the army to rest for a while. This time, he went east to the three counties in the east. Liu Yin planned to go both by water and land, and advance side by side.Walking all the way from Yang'an Pass, Liu Yin had already ordered to conscript all the official fishing boats on Mianshui.

Because the Mian water is shallow and turbulent, and the water potential is erratic, in Hanzhong, both the government and business travelers use relatively small passenger and fishing boats, and there are no large ships like Soochow.However, no matter how small the boat is, it can still carry a lot of things, which is better than nothing for Liu Yin, who is trying to use the waterway to transport food and supplies.

However, relying on the superiority of the sailors seems to be difficult to achieve. Now it is April, which is the dry season of Mianshui. There are many dangerous shoals and reefs dotted around. Many ships accidentally ran aground on the river.

After Liu Yin completed the assembly in Jinjin, he led his army on both land and water, and went eastward along the water, hoping that the west city of the three eastern counties would come to kill them mightily.
