The last three kingdoms

Chapter 74 Hanzhong Division

From Yang'an Pass, along Mianshui all the way to the east, you can go straight to Nanzheng.This road is on the Hanzhong Plain, and the road is flat. Liu Yin and his party all rode horses, and soon arrived in Nanzheng.

Zheng Yi, Si Cheng of the Hanzhong Division, had long been waiting for him at the Shili Pavilion outside the city. After a very polite greeting, he brought Liu Yin and his party to a Taoist temple.

At the beginning, Liu Yin wondered why Zheng Yi placed them in the Taoist temple. After entering the Taoist temple, Liu Yin suddenly realized what kind of Taoist temple it was. It was clearly the residence of the Hanzhong Division of the Zhongwei Mansion. As a resident, it does have the effect of deceiving people.

Liu Yin declined Zheng Yi's proposal to rest, and immediately convened relevant personnel to discuss matters.

There is a special meeting hall in Hanzhong Division. It is a cave dwelling in the middle of the mountain. The cave dwelling is very deep and surprisingly cool inside. It is a natural place to escape from the summer heat. When you step into it, the coolness is refreshing and the heat disappears completely. The light is very dim, and a large butter lamp is lit on each side, casting a long silhouette.

As a meeting hall, the biggest advantage here is that the cave is very deep. Standing outside the cave, you can hear any sound inside.

Traveling long distances under the scorching sun, Zhang Le, who had grown a whole body of fat, complained endlessly. When he came to this cave dwelling, it was cold, and Zhang Le couldn't help shouting happily.

"This place is really not bad, Zheng Sicheng, it seems that you are quite good at finding places."

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "The Lieutenant's Mansion is doing some secret errands. Hanzhong is no more than the capital, and there are frequent activities against the Wei Dynasty. The Hanzhong Division has to keep a low profile. This Taoist temple was originally a place of the Five Dou Rice Sect. The stronghold, since the Five Dou Rice Sect was designated as a cult and eradicated, this Taoist temple has been taken over by the military. During his tenure as the former Sicheng, the current lieutenant Zuocheng Du, he asked for the Taoist temple from the military and served as Hanzhong Division Hanzhong Division has been staying here since then. This Taoist temple is very good, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the environment is quiet, especially in the hot summer season, it is a summer resort."

Du Bi was the Si Cheng of the Hanzhong Division before Du Bi became the lieutenant Zuo Cheng. Liu Yin was very clear about this, but this was obviously not the focus of Liu Yin's concern. He nodded at Zheng Yi and said: "Start Bar."

The furnishings in the cave were very simple, with a few straw mats and some dilapidated desks. Liu Yin took the main seat, and the others took their seats one by one.Not many people participated in the discussion. Apart from Chen Shou, Zhang Le, and Zhao Zhuo, there were only three people present from the Hanzhong Division. Sicheng Zheng Yi also had Sima Chengliang on the left and Sima Yang Tao on the right.

The organizational structure of the Hanzhong Division is also modeled after the headquarters of the Lieutenant's Mansion. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The Si Cheng is divided into left and right Sima. The left Sima is in charge of external espionage activities, and the right Sima is in charge of internal security affairs.Sima Chengliang on the left is a middle-aged man in his 40s, mature and prudent, while Sima Yang Tao on the right is obviously much younger. He looks less than 30 years old, with aggressive eyes and heroic spirit.

This was the first time they saw Liu Yin, Lieutenant Youcheng, their immediate boss. Although they had prepared for it, Liu Yin's youthful handsomeness still shocked them to some extent. In Hanzhong, they will definitely regard Liu Yin as the second generation of officials who parachuted to the Lieutenant's Mansion.

"The imperial court attaches great importance to the latest action of Wei Guo's spies. Master He, the executive king, specially appointed me to come to Hanzhong to handle this matter. I believe you all understand that the task before us is very difficult. Can we stop Wei Guo's spies from attacking?" Actions will directly determine the fate of the Shu Han. Ladies and gentlemen, this is by no means alarmist talk!" Liu Yin's opening remarks were simple and direct, without any pretense, and went straight to the point, and the atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became dignified.

"Zheng Sicheng, take out all the information you have in your hands."

Zheng Yi got up immediately, apparently he had prepared for a long time, and quickly presented several files to the cases in front of Liu Yin. At the same time, the same files were also placed on the cases of other people, which should be transcripts. "This is the latest information on this case, Lord You Cheng and everyone please read it."

Liu Yin didn't speak again, but lowered his head to read the file. He read every word and even every sentence carefully. Obviously, this document contains a lot of original information, which is much more than that presented by Hanzhong Secretary. The report to the Lieutenant's Mansion is much more detailed.

After about a stick of incense, Liu Yin closed the file, raised his head, looked at Zheng Yi, and said, "How reliable is the source of this information?"

This time Zheng Yi didn't speak, and it was Sima Chengliang from the left who spoke for him. Cheng Liang's main job was to be in charge of spying on the entire Longxi and Guanzhong. "Qingsong is the best interim military officer of our Hanzhong Division. He is the highest-ranking person we have hidden in the Wei Army. The information provided is quite reliable, and his analysis is also very accurate."

Liu Yin nodded and said: "Since the source of the information is reliable, it proves that the Wei State has recently assembled a large number of troops in Guanzhong and Longxi, and its intention to invade Hanzhong is quite obvious. It is certain that before the Wei army attacked Hanzhong , It is necessary to grasp the deployment of our army's troops in Hanzhong. It is obviously inevitable to send spies to steal our army's Hanzhong deployment map this time, but it is not clear what step they have taken, whether they have already stolen it or are they in progress? "

Zheng Yi was a little embarrassed. It stands to reason that these matters should be handled by the Hanzhong Division, but the information obtained this time is obviously much more important. As Liu Yin said, it is related to the life and death of the entire Shu Han Dynasty. This is definitely not him alone. The little six hundred shi officials could afford it, so he chose to report it in the first time, but from Hanzhong to Chengdu, even the fastest posthorse would take four or five days to arrive, plus Liu Thirteen days have passed since Yin came to Hanzhong for eight days. During these thirteen days, it is really difficult for Zheng Yi to say whether Wei Guo's spies have taken action.

"Niwei Zhenxi General Zhong Hui arrived in Chang'an on the third day of June. On the same day, Deng Ai accepted the appointment of Sima Zhao in Longxi and took office as General Zhengxi. Niwei frequently dispatched troops in Guanzhong and Longxi until June 18th. On the [-]th, nearly [-] troops have been assembled in the Guanzhong and Longxi areas. Based on various intelligence data, it can be roughly judged that the Wei army is likely to launch an attack in mid-July. That is to say, this time Wei Guo sneaked into the The spies in Hanzhong must gain something in early July and pass the information back to Guanzhong, so the next half month is a crucial half month."
