The last three kingdoms

Chapter 594 Continue South
The warrants for Liu Yin and Qing'er's arrest have spread throughout the entire Wei Kingdom, and pictures of them are posted at the gates of every county and county. The reward amount of up to [-] million is staggering.

However, like Liu Yin's analysis, the scope of Wei's wanted arrest can cover all states and counties, but in terms of strength, there are differences. Although Liu Yin used to be a Jingzhou merchant, it is clear that the Wei State court It is impossible for this side not to see through this fake identity. How could a businessman from Jingzhou have such great energy? Combined with the fact that Qing'er had been active in the Shu Kingdom before, Sima Yan easily judged this fake Wen Chuan It must be from the Kingdom of Shu. Although he did not know the real name of this person, nor his specific official position, this did not prevent Sima Yan from setting up heavy troops to block the main passes leading to Guanzhong and the Kingdom of Shu.

Therefore, the road leading to Jingzhou is relatively safe. Because of the good disguise, there were no accidents along the way, and Liu Yin and his party arrived at Xiangyang City in Jingzhou very smoothly.

Xiangyang has always been the number one city in China, the iron-struck Xiangyang, a place that must be contested by military strategists. In the Three Kingdoms era, Jingxiang was even more strategic. Liu Bei started in Jingxiang, but was defeated by Jingxiang. The most important three wars in the Three Kingdoms , happened twice in the land of Jingxiang. In the post-Three Kingdoms era, Jingzhou was still the strategic point of the three-party struggle, and Xiangyang, as the barrier for Cao Wei to defend Luoyang and the bridgehead to attack Soochow, has always been highly valued. of.

After Yang Hu, the governor of Jingzhou, was transferred to Beijing, the defense of the Jingzhou area was in charge of Du Yulai, the general of Zhennan. Since this place is already close to the border, the alert level of the Wei army has been significantly raised. also became severe.

Entering Xiangyang, Liu Yin and others temporarily found an inn to live in, while Brown Bamboo was in charge of contacting Sima of the Jingzhou Army to learn about the information around Xiangyang.

According to the original plan, after arriving in Xiangyang, Liu Yin and his party can go up the Han River and return to Hanzhong via the Shangyong New City area. This place is close to the junction of Wu and Shu, and the brown bamboos are naturally handled carefully.

Xiangyang is the hometown of Zhuge Liang, and most of the courtiers in Shu are also from Jingxiang, so Xiangyang has a special status for Shu people. After Liu Yin arrived in Xiangyang, he also observed this important town with great interest.

As the most cutting-edge fortress in the Cao and Wei dynasties, the Jingzhou governors who served for decades have been constantly repairing and building Xiangyang City. Xiangyang City is surrounded by water on three sides, and the Han River flows through here. A hairpin bend, only the southwest of Xiangyang City faces the land, and the other directions face the water. It faces Fancheng across the Han River and leans on each other.

Liu Yin has a habit, every time he arrives at a place, he always studies the geographical conditions of the place and the city guards, especially for those important towns and famous cities, Liu Yin seems to have a special liking, even if he doesn't lead troops to fight, he can Don't forget this habit, in Liu Yin's mind, he will always regard these cities as imaginary enemies. Maybe when there is a real war in the future, Liu Yin can be regarded as doing his homework first.

Just a brief observation, Liu Yin didn't dare to get too close to the city wall, after all he was walking in disguise, the other side of the city wall was closely guarded by Wei soldiers, if he was not careful, his feet would be leaked, Liu Yin returned quickly Inn.

Brown Zhu has returned, and it seems that he has established a line with Sima Jun of the Xiangyang area, but judging from Brown Zhu's expression, it seems that he is not too optimistic.

"Lord Bai Yang, the road to Hanzhong may not work."

Liu Yin was slightly taken aback. He didn't take Tongguan Road and Wuguan Road because he was worried that Sima Yan would strengthen the blockade of these two roads. Now that he arrived in Jingzhou, it didn't work, which made Liu Yin feel worried.

"What's the situation?" Liu Yin asked in a deep voice.

The information held by Brown Bamboo was provided by the Jingzhou Division of the Lieutenant’s Mansion. After Yang Hu left Xiangyang, Du Yu temporarily took over his position. As a supporter of the Yan Party, Du Yu was still quite loyal to Sima Yan After receiving the news of the Luoyang incident and the arrest warrant for Liu Yinqing'er, Du Yu immediately deployed the Jingxiang area to review. At present, the road from Shangyong to Hanzhong has been completely closed, whether it is pedestrians or business travelers. , all traffic is prohibited.

Due to the long-term hostility between Wei and Shu, it is not uncommon to close checkpoints. Although private exchanges between the people are not prohibited in normal times, the inspection is not shallow, just to prevent spies from the Kingdom of Shu and merchants from carrying prohibited goods. The goods went to the Shu Kingdom, and when the war came, the entire road was completely closed, no matter who it was, it was completely forbidden to pass.

This time when Du Yu received the order, he was naturally facing an enemy. Although he was not sure whether Liu Yin would go the mediocre way, in order to prevent problems before they happened, Du Yu still followed the wartime practice and covered the entire road. closed up.

Almost none of the roads leading to Guanzhong and the Kingdom of Shu is not a rugged mountain road. It is easy to set up checkpoints to close such roads. If it is a flat plain, there is no point in setting up checkpoints. Find the escape route, but sometimes there is only a narrow plank road to pass between the high mountains, and the Wei army can easily intercept these dangerous places.

As a result, the road to Hanzhong is also blocked, which undoubtedly makes everyone present a little worried.

Zhang Le snorted and said, "I can't go here or there. This Sima Yan is really wicked. At worst, he will fight with them and fight for a bloody way."

Liu Yin chuckled lightly and said, "Second brother, can we kill so many Wei soldiers with just a few of us? I'm afraid you were captured by Du Yu before you reached Shangyong, and you want to go back In Shuzhong, it seems that we have to find another way."

Zhang Le muttered, and said, "The road to the west has been blocked by the people of Wei, what else can we do? Sima Brown Bamboo, you have been active in Wei for many years, don't you have any shortcuts?"

"I really don't have this one." Brown Bamboo also had a look of helplessness on his face. The secret road in Luoyang is relatively short. It took time to repair it, and it was not an easy task to find another road between the mountains and mountains.

Zhao Zhuo, A Jian and the others also looked miserable. They would not be afraid of fighting, but finding a safe and safe way on the dangerous road is not their strong point.

Liu Yin thought about it for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "In that case, then continue to go south!"
