The last three kingdoms

Chapter 599
But Luo Xian also knows that it is not easy to take back Yong'an. He has been the governor of Yong'an for many years, and he still doesn't know how strong Yong'an is. , is almost impossible.

The reason why Luo Xian stayed in Xiling Gorge was because he was not reconciled. It is not that he has no chance to return to Shu, but when he thinks of the loss of Yong'an, it is a kind of pain on his skin, and the haze in his heart lingers for a long time. He always hopes One day, he will regain the lost Yong'an with his hands.

Of course Liu Yin could understand Luo Xian's mood, but it would be a huge waste to let a well-known general in Sichuan become a gangster and water thief on the Yangtze River, and meeting Luo Xian was really an unexpected joy , After going around such a big circle, it was finally a worthwhile trip.

"General Luo's Wentao and Wulue, with all his abilities, wouldn't it be a mistake to stay in Xiling Gorge. You should come back to Guanzhong with me, there will be a stage that truly belongs to you."

"Guanzhong?" Luo Xian was stunned for a moment. The past few years of being a water bandit has made Luo Xian almost isolated from the world. Even from the mouths of passing merchants, he can only learn about the situation in Jingzhou and Shuzhong at most. , Guanzhong is indeed out of reach for Luo Xian, it is impossible for him to know the territory of the Shuhan, which has now expanded to the land of Yongliang.

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "It seems that General Luo is trapped here and doesn't know the changes in the world. Our Jihan army has already sent troops to the Northern Expedition and captured Chang'an. The land of Yongliang is all in our hands. Oh, yes, your son Luo Xi is also under someone's tent, and now he is the general of the Yong'an camp, commanding ten thousand people."

This time it was really Luo Xian's turn to be stunned. He knew a thing or two about the situation in Shuzhong. Now that the three kingdoms of Shu, Wei and Wu were in a melee, and the court of Shuhan was forced to move to Nanzhong. He really didn't expect that Liu Yin could send troops to capture the land of Yongliang, which was impossible in the heyday of the Shu Han Dynasty. If Liu Yin hadn't said it himself, Luo Xian would never have believed it was true.

"Then Mr. Liu is now..."

Zhang Le complacently said: "General Luo, my elder brother is now a general of hussars, Lu Shangshushi, and the commander of Yongliang's military forces."

Luo Xian was shocked, and immediately cupped his hands and bowed: "The last general has seen the general." Luo Xian had previously served as Badong prefect and Yong'an governor, and was much lower than Liu Yin. According to official rules, he immediately served as an official. Of.

Liu Yin helped each other with both hands, and said with a smile: "General Luo is a famous general in the world. He is really a talent if he stays here. How about it? Will you go back to Guanzhong with me, fight against thieves and rebels, and revive the Han Dynasty?"

Luo Xiangong said: "An dare not obey orders."

Naturally, Luo Xian is also eager to make contributions, but he is unwilling to return to Shu, the main reason is Yong'an's failure, and the fear of being held accountable by the court is secondary. The most important thing is that Luo Xian feels guilty because of his negligence. , which led to the fall of Yong'an, and he had no face to face the elders in Shuzhong. At this time, Liu Yin told him that he had the opportunity to make another contribution, and Luo Xian naturally yearned for it.

Afterwards, Luo Xian dismissed the water bandits and set off with Liu Yin.Although there are not a few water thieves active in the Yangtze River waterway, and they can deal with Wu Jun through geographical advantages, but the water thieves are a mob after all. Back to Shu, you have to sneak, so Liu Yin didn't consider recruiting this water thief at all, and Luo Xian also understood what Liu Yin meant.
"I don't know where the general wants to go?" After setting off, Luo Xian asked.

Liu Yin knew that Luo Xian had worked in Yong'an for many years and was familiar with the terrain and roads of Badong, so he said, "If you want to go back to Shuzhong, can General Luo have a good way?"

Luo Xian's expression became serious, and he shook his head lightly, saying: "If you want to go back to Sichuan, Yong'an is the only throat, and there is no other way. Since Wu people occupied Yong'an, they strictly guarded against it. Passing Wing On is definitely not an easy task.”

The importance of Yong'an is self-evident, guarding the gate of Badong, if you want to enter Yizhou, you have to go through Yong'an. Naturally, Wu people regard Yong'an's defense as the most important thing, and they want to be extremely strict in the Wu army. It is indeed not an easy task to pass Yongan under such circumstances.

Liu Yin couldn't help frowning, choosing to enter Shu from Yong'an was also a choice Liu Yin could not force himself to make, but when he reached Xiling Gorge, Liu Yin realized that the difficulty of passing Yong'an Fortress was not at all easier than Tongguan Road and Wuguan Road. After traveling thousands of miles, but still unable to find a suitable way home, Liu Yin couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. Why is it so difficult to get home?

Luo Xian pondered for a long time, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Isn't the general going back to Guanzhong? Then why go to Yong'an?"

Liu Yin's eyes lit up, and he said, "General Luo has another way?"

Luo Xiandao: "To go to Shuzhong, there is nothing else but Yong'an, but if the general wants to go to Guanzhong Hanzhong, there is another way. From Yidu to the north, you can go straight to Shangyong, which is not far from Hanzhong. "

Liu Yin's expression darkened, and he shook his head and said, "General Luo doesn't know, he is wanted by the Wei people at this moment, and all places in Shangyong have put up lists and offered rewards for him. When he was in Xiangyang, he also tried to go to Shangyong, but found that the Wei people were not on guard. Yan, that's why I just arrived in the territory of Wu, if I turn back to Shangyong at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass through."

Luo Xiandao: "It doesn't matter. Although the road pointed by the last general is adjacent to Shangyong, it does not enter Shangyong. It's just that this road is high in mountains, dangerous in forests, rough and difficult to walk, and rarely visited by people. I wonder if the general can do it?"

Liu Yin was overjoyed, no matter how difficult the road was, it would not be more difficult and dangerous than the snowy mountains and grasslands. The five snow mountains and the vast grasslands were all conquered by Liu Yin's feet. What is the mere Padang path? , as long as there is a way, no matter how difficult or dangerous it is, Liu Yin is not afraid at all.

The road Luo Xian refers to is actually going northwest along Daba Mountain, heading north from Yidu, turning west when approaching Shangyong, and passing Micang Mountain among the mountains, and then reaching Hanzhong. Jie Road coincides with the famous Litchi Road in later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, in order to please Concubine Yang, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang built a "high-speed road". The post-horse could go from Sichuan to Chang'an in three days, and closed fresh lychees for Concubine Yang. It can be called a miracle in the history of ancient transportation.It's just that even birds and beasts seldom visit this road now, and it is full of thorns and rough.

Of course, there is no doubt that there are benefits, even if there are no people, there will be no obstacles, and the problem of being wanted that has plagued Liu Yin for a long time can be regarded as solved.

After choosing the route, Liu Yin and his party abandoned the ship and went ashore in Yidu, and embarked on the road back to the north.
