The last three kingdoms

Chapter 470 Mulan plug

Shen Quan didn't dare to disobey, but he thought that his literary talent and calligraphy were not good enough, and he couldn't write what Liu Yin wanted, so he immediately called the chief secretary of the prefect's mansion, explained the general meaning, and let the chief secretary handle the knife.

Writing such urgent official documents is the chief secretary's forte. The prefect has orders, so he naturally dare not disobey. He writes immediately, and it is finished quickly, and respectfully handed it over to Shen Quan.Shen Quan glanced at it, and then forwarded it to Liu Yin respectfully.

Liu Yin took it over and took a look. Although there was no special literary talent, the writing was well-regulated and met the requirements of official documents.The content of this emergency document was exactly the same as what Liu Yin requested, so Liu Yin didn't say anything more, and ordered Shen Quan to send a competent person to Wuguan Road overnight to submit a letter to Du Yu.

Shen Quan immediately called a family member and gave him such instructions. The family member took the order and turned away with the letter.

Shen Quan said to Liu Yin with a smile on his face: "This man is a low-ranking domestic slave named Shen Bao. He is superb in martial arts and has great courage. Send him to deliver the letter, and he will be safe."

Liu Yin nodded coldly, in front of Shen Quan, Liu Yin naturally had to put on a dignified appearance.

"What is the relationship between Shangyong Governor Yang Qi and you?"

Shen Quan showed a bitter face at this moment, and said: "This Yang Qi is from Ruyin, Yuzhou. Two years ago, he was transferred to be the prefect of Shangyong. His uncle is Taiwei Wang Xiang, who has been bullied several times, and his humble position has no choice but to swallow his anger."

Liu Yin secretly said in his heart, everyone said that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake, but Shen Quan, a local snake, also has times to be frightened. In fact, he can't blame him. After all, this Yang Qi is the nephew of Taiwei Wang Xiang, and he has such a big backer in the court. , It's strange not to be arrogant.However, the relationship between Shen Quan and Yang Qi is very stiff, and naturally there is nothing to borrow. It is unrealistic to persuade Yang Qi to surrender through Shen Quan. There was a bigger storm.

The purpose of dispatching troops to the three eastern counties this time is to attract Du Yu's army to return to aid. Obviously, just taking down one west city will not attract Du Yu's attention. If Du Yu is to be alerted, at least the Shangyong and even Nanxiang have completely muddied the water in the three eastern counties, so that there may be hope to lure Du Yu's army back to rescue.

When attacking from Xicheng to Shangyong, there was a pass that had to be captured, that is, Mulansai. Liu Yin immediately sent Fu Mu and Lu Xun to lead the Hubu Youying Battalion and the New First Battalion to Mulansai to snatch this pass.

The news of the fall of Weixing County quickly spread to Shangyong. Although the three east counties are relatively closed to the outside world, within the three east counties, if there is any trouble, the news spreads quickly, let alone the fall of the west city. The shocking news is that on the second day after the fall of Xicheng, Yang Qi, the prefect of Shangyong, already knew the situation of Xicheng.

Yang Qi was deeply shocked, he did not expect that at this time, the Shu army would suddenly march from Hanzhong, completely catching him by surprise.The west city fell, and Yang Qi only had more than 2000 defenders in his hands. Facing the army of Shu, which was more than ten times larger, the situation in Shangyong suddenly became severe.

Yang Qi understood that if he just led these 2000 people to defend Shangyong, it might be difficult to defend. His eyes, like Liu Yin's, turned to Mulan Sai.

So Yang Qi only left a small number of people to guard Shangyong, and led an army of less than 2000 people to Mulansai to stop the Shu army.

Mulansai is an important pass on the north bank of the Han River, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water on one side.Mulansai was originally in Weixing County, and the prefect of Weixing County had sent a small team to garrison it.But after Yang Qi took office, he believed that Mulansai was the gateway to Shangyong, and the prefect of Shangyong should have sent troops to garrison it.Although Shen Quan disagreed, the powerful Yang Qi forcibly incorporated Mulan Sai's garrison, and sent another group of troops to garrison Mulan Sai.

After this happened, although Shen Quan was furious, he finally had to swallow this bitter pill with hatred. If it was Yang Qi alone, Shen Quan would never give in, but behind Yang Qi, he stood behind the entire Great Wei The well-known Taiwei Wang Xiang in the capital of the court, and an important minister who has won the trust of Sima Zhao, Shen Quan can't compete with him at all.

Moreover, Shen Quan is keenly aware that this unusual personnel transfer seems to be aimed at him intentionally. Perhaps Sima Zhao thought that he, a free and easy emperor, had stayed in the three eastern counties for too long, and deliberately sent Yang Qi to serve as Shangyong. The prefect is to restrain the Shen family's influence in the three eastern counties.

What Yang Qi did after he took office seems to have further confirmed Shen Quan's judgment. He deliberately targeted the Shen family everywhere and deliberately cultivated opposition forces. After all, thinking of a long-term plan, he couldn't have an open conflict with Yang Qi, so Sima Zhao found a reason to dismiss him.

Although Yang Qi was born as a civil servant, his vigor was not inferior to that of a general. After receiving the news of the fall of Xicheng, Yang Qi made a decisive decision and personally led the army to Mulansai for reinforcements.

As soon as Yang Qi arrived at Mulansai, before he had a firm foothold, the [-] Shu troops led by Fu Mu and Lu Xun had already arrived.Yang Qi personally took the arrow and entered the fortress to fight against the Shu army.

Fortunately, the troops from the previous song had been stationed here for a long time, repaired and reinforced the Mulan Fortress, and the defense facilities were well prepared. The first wave of the Shu army's attack was easily repulsed by the Wei army.

Fu Zhao was very depressed. He easily captured such a big county like Xicheng. When he reached Mulansai, he encountered tenacious resistance. Is it possible to become a stumbling block for the Shu army?
Fu Mo was not reconciled, and immediately organized the army to launch a second wave of attack.

The roads in Mulansai are narrow, let alone more than 1 people, even the Hubu Youying Battalion under the command of Fu Zhao himself can't deploy it, so he can only send thousands of troops to attack.

The fortress was built on the top of the hillside, and the Shu army had to attack upwards when they attacked, and this attack method was completely beneficial to the defending side.

The Shu army's offensive was very fierce, but the Wei army defended more tenaciously. The two sides were arrows like rain, and the battle was stalemate.After fighting fiercely for a day, seeing the red sun sinking in the west, Fu Mo still failed to break through the Mulan Fortress. In desperation, he discussed with Lu Xun and retreated ten miles for the time being, and camped on the east bank of Xunshui, waiting for Liu Yin's army to come. Come.
