The last three kingdoms

Chapter 57

"Lord You Cheng, here are all the documents you want." Chen Shou carried several volumes of files and put them on the cases in front of Liu Yin. The bamboo slips naturally occupied most of them, and some paper files were returned.

Liu Yin was very surprised, and it was hard for Chen Shou to get Wei Yan's materials in a very short time. Even a qualified librarian would not be able to get the materials in such a short time. What's more, Liu Yin noticed that Chen Shou didn't look at the index at all. It seemed that these things were all in his head. Liu Yin couldn't help but admire him sincerely.

During the Three Kingdoms era, there were many geniuses with a photographic memory, such as the famous Cai Zhaoji, and Zhang Song, a strange talent in Shu who could recite Cao Cao's military manual with just a glance. Could it be that Chen Shou also has a photographic memory?

Thinking about it, it is very possible. After all, Chen Shou will finish "Three Kingdoms" in the future, and those vast materials may be hidden in his heart, and he can use them with ease.

Liu Yin opened the file and read it carefully one by one. There were investigation conclusions about the whole case, there were memorials written by Yang Yi and Wei Yan to attack each other at the court, and there were edicts from the Yi, Wei, and Yan tribes issued by the later lord Liu Chan.At the end of the reading, Liu Yin also discovered the records about Wei Yan’s wife, Zhang’s family. The records stated that when the imperial army was ordered to search the Wei family in Nanzheng, they encountered fierce resistance from the Wei family’s trilogy and killed more than ten Wei family tribunes on the spot. There were seven dead and eight injured in the imperial army, and Wei Yan's wife, Zhang, fled.The record mentioned that Zhang was suspected of being pregnant, and she was not captured in the subsequent arrests.

After closing the file, Liu Yin fell into deep thought. Now there is sufficient evidence to prove that what Wei Xuewu said is true, but this undoubtedly created a huge problem for Liu Yin.Wei Xuewu's vengeance for her father is justified by emotion and reason, but she assassinated today's son, and this kind of crime is a crime that cannot be punished. Even if Liu Yin has some selfish intentions to protect her, there is almost no reason. There is a possibility that if you are a little careless, you will harm yourself by covering up the assassin.

"Chen Lingshi, do you think there is a possibility that Wei Yan, General of Zhenbei, will be wronged?" Liu Yin turned his head and asked Chen Shou.

Chen Shou has been standing by the side all the time, he was slightly surprised when he heard Liu Yin suddenly asked such a sensitive question, but he soon recovered his normal state, and said indifferently: "Master Youcheng, I am just an official responsible for preserving these historical materials. , but dare not discuss these historical materials indiscriminately, my lord asked whether General Wei Yan was wronged, I am sorry that I cannot answer."

Liu Yin chuckled, and talked lightly and deeply. This is a big taboo in dealing with people. It seems that Chen Shou is well versed in this way, but it does not match the character of Chen Shou in the legend. If Chen Shou is really the kind of person who handles things smoothly, Not relegated to the position of librarian.

"Mr. Su Wen is upright, open-minded, and doesn't follow others, but why keeps his mouth shut on a piece of historical material that has been dusty for many years. This doesn't seem like Mr.'s style of doing things?"

Chen Shou said indifferently: "Lord Youcheng is absurd, I just abide by my own principles. As for the matter of General Wei Yan, His Majesty has dealt with it back then, and it has long been a final conclusion. What's the point of saying it now?"

"The conclusion of the coffin? I don't think so. Wei Yan has been loyal all his life. He has made great achievements in the court after several battles. His reputation as the mastermind of rebellion is nothing more than Yang Yi's villain. He is good at soldiers and despises doctors. He is proud of his superiors and does not disgrace his inferiors. He is incompatible with Yang Yi. After the death of Prime Minister Zhuge, the power belongs to Yang Yi. Because of Wei Yan's arrogant character, he may not be willing to succumb to his inferiors. It is reasonable to see Yang Yi's retaliation. Judging from Yang Yi's and Wei Yan's tributes to the court, the court should have dealt with each other in a fair manner, but at the critical moment, it was biased, causing Wei Yanbing He was defeated and punished. Yang Yi was also deposed and committed suicide the following year because of his wild and rebellious words. Such a villain has no credibility. Therefore, from a foolish point of view, General Wei Yan died in Hanzhong in vain, and he really suffered an injustice. "

Chen Shou revealed a slightly surprised look, and said, "Aren't you afraid that the words of Lord Youcheng will be spread to the court?"

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "Mr. is upright and upright, as magnanimous as a dick. How can it be that kind of nasty villain's behavior? Although I don't know the wisdom of people, I'm afraid I can't take my eyes off of you."

Chen Shou smiled softly and said, "Then You Cheng read the files of Wei Yan's case today, could it be that he wants to clear up General Wei Yan's innocence?"

Liu Yin said: "I may not have that ability, but justice is at ease in people's hearts, which cannot be eliminated."

Chen Shou was speechless for a while, and said silently: "Master Youcheng can have such a thought, I think General Wei Yan's spirit in the sky will also be very gratified. If you only talk about general talent, General Wei Yan is a famous general in the world, bravely crowned the three armies, The director of General Lue once proposed the plan of surprise troops to attack Guanzhong from Ziwu, which is a shocking plan, but it is a pity that Prime Minister Zhuge was cautious all his life and did not accept this plan, which led to the failure of the Northern Expedition."

Obviously, Liu Yin's straightforwardness infected Chen Shou, and Chen Shou couldn't help but express his heart.

The Meridian Strange Conspiracy was a "bold" strategy put forward by Wei Yan when the Shu army made the first northern expedition to the Central Plains: Wei Yan personally led more than [-] elite soldiers from Ziwu Valley to Chang'an quickly, and took Chang'an and Tongguan in one fell swoop, while Zhuge Liang's army marched out of Xiegu In Chang'an and Tongguan, the two armies joined forces at Tongguan, just like Han Xin's old story.

It has to be said that Wei Yan's plan is very imaginative, let alone the success or failure of this plan, this kind of mind and courage alone are not comparable to ordinary generals. In fact, in history, only Deng Ai attacked Yinping Dao can be compared with it, the difference is that Wei Yan's plan was stillborn, but Deng Ai's sneak attack succeeded.Many people in later generations have been discussing the feasibility of Meridian's plot. There are many opinions and no consensus. However, this is of no use, because any surprise attack is both risk and opportunity, and many accidental factors may determine the success or failure of the strategy. .

Zhuge Liang, the only cautious man in his life, categorically rejected Wei Yan's plan. Maybe Zhuge Liang had deeper considerations, because the confrontation between the two countries is not just a military contest. .But no one can deny that Shu may have missed a chance to succeed in the Northern Expedition.

Liu Yin's eyes were brightened, and he said: "Then what is the chance of winning the master's conspiracy?"
