The last three kingdoms

Chapter 853
The battle at Pujin Pass was indeed relatively easy. After all, fighting from east to west is much easier than fighting from west to east. If you want to attack Pujin Pass by crossing the Yellow River from the west, it will definitely be more difficult .

It is of great significance to win Pujin Pass.The Shu army controlled Shangdang and Hedong, but if they failed to take Pujin Pass, these places would be tantamount to enclaves and it would be difficult to control them. But after taking Pujin Pass, the situation changed suddenly, and the whole Hedong and Shangdang can be connected with Guanzhong, and the resources of the two places can be exchanged, laying the most solid foundation for the Shu army to march into the Central Plains.

Afterwards, Liu Yin immediately sent people across the river to get in touch with Linjin Pass on the opposite bank.

The current guard of Linjin Pass is Yang Ding, the prefect of Fengyi County. Since Linjin Pass is related to the defense system of the entire Guanzhong, Yang Ding did not stay in Linjin City, the prefecture, but visited Linjin Pass along the Yellow River in person, faithfully fulfilling his mission. It is my duty to be optimistic about the northeast gate in Guanzhong.

Across the Yellow River, Yang Ding can also feel that there seems to be a war at Pujin Pass on the other side, but Yang Ding is already used to it. The Huns have frequently attacked Pujin Pass in the past two years, and every battle has been fiercely fought. Intense, Yang Ding is more concerned about the battle situation on the other side. The more important reason is that once the Huns take Pujin Pass, it is bound to change the current stable confrontation between Shu and Jin. Yang Ding can do it if he knows the situation in Pujin in advance Maintaining the status quo.

This time, the shouting and killing on the other side quickly subsided, and Yang Ding also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the Jin army repelled another attack from the Huns. In some situations, this situation is not harmful to both parties.

Yang Ding looked at the bank for a long time, feeling his neck was a little sore, he was about to turn around to rest, when he heard a soldier beside him shout: "Prefect Yang, a boat is coming from the other side!"

Yang Ding took a closer look, no, a small boat was riding the wind and waves, and was quickly paddling towards the west bank.

Yang Ding didn't have anything to worry about if it was just a boat. If the Jin army really wanted to cross the river to attack, one boat would not be enough.But in the past few years, the two sides have been confronting each other on both sides of the strait, and they have not communicated with each other for a long time. Suddenly a ship came over, which made Yang Ding feel suspicious.

What does Jin Jun want to do?
attack?impossible!negotiation?It seems that there is no need for that!

Yang Ding was puzzled, but he had given up his plan to go back to the city, and was waiting on the ferry. He wanted to see with his own eyes what the intention of the ship on the other side was.

Soon, the ship was approaching the ferry on the west bank, and the surrounding Shu army habitually raised their swords and put on a defensive posture.

Yang Ding waved his hand, signaling the Shu soldiers beside him to relax, don't be too nervous, it's just a ship, even if they let them go ashore, so what?

At this time, a sharp-eyed Shu soldier said to Yang Ding: "Prefect Yang, the people on board seem to be wearing the clothes of our Han army."

Yang Ding couldn't help being stunned for a moment, how could this be possible, at this moment, a person came out of the cabin, laughed at Yang Ding and said, "Prefect Yang, are you safe here?"

Yang Ding took a closer look, it was none other than Chang Shi Chen Shou, Yang Ding knew very well that Chen Shou was a confidant of General Hussars Liu Yin, it was really unimaginable that Chen Shou would appear in Pubanjin at this moment.

"Where did Chen Changshi come from?" Yang Ding asked in wonder.

"Naturally, they came from Pujin Pass on the opposite bank." Chen Shou said with a smile.

Only now did Yang Ding realize how stupid he was asking. Chen Shou came by boat, and he really had no other place to come from except Pujin Pass, but Pujin Pass is the territory of Jin State. Where did the Jin army cross the river smoothly?

"Then...then how did Chen Changshi pass Pujin Pass?"

Chen Shou chuckled and said, "Prefect Yang, to tell you the truth, this Pujin Pass is already our Dahan's territory, and not only Pujin Pass, but most of the territory of Hedong, Pingyang, and Shangdang counties have also belonged to Dahan. gone."

This time Yang Ding was really stunned, it was too unexpected, it was good news from heaven, the flag of Jin State was still flying on the top of Pujin Pass yesterday, why in a blink of an eye, a large piece of land in Hedong has already belonged to the State of Shu , This is simply a good thing that I dare not even dream of.

Chen Shou said: "Prefect Yang, please prepare a few horses, I have to rush back to Chang'an, I have important things to do!"

Yang Ding quickly claimed that it was such a good news, of course he immediately reported it to the king of the Northland Liu Chen and the governor of Yongzhou, but Yang Ding immediately prepared a few good horses for Chen Shou and others, and rushed to Chang'an overnight.

In the past two years, there has been almost no fighting in Guanzhong. Except for the small-scale nuisance in the border area by the remnants of Beidihu, the whole Guanzhong is safe and sound.However, he is a master of internal affairs. Under his governance, Guanzhong is well-organized, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the wealth is rich. Guanzhong was originally a fertile land, but it became full of sores because of years of wars. The peaceful situation has been maintained for several years, coupled with the construction of water conservancy projects and the extensive development of farmland, it is difficult to think about prosperity and prosperity.

Liu Yin was in charge of the military in the front, and he was in charge of internal affairs in the rear. Liu Chen, who was the supervisor of the army, basically had nothing to do. His task was to sit in Chang'an and patrol hunting on behalf of the emperor.

However, since Liu Yin traveled to the east, there has been no news, which made Liu Chen very worried about him.

After Chen Shou returned to Chang'an, he explained the details to Liu Chen. Liu Chen was overjoyed when he heard about it. At the same time, knowing that Liu Yin and others were safe, he felt relieved.

When Chen Shou returned to Chang'an this time, in addition to reporting the good news to Liu Chen and others, he also took a long list made by Liu Yinkai. The items listed on the list were all the supplies that the Shu army urgently needed.

Liu Chen immediately ordered Quezheng to be summoned to discuss military supplies with him.

However, knowing that Liu Yin has captured the three counties in Hedong, he was very happy and praised Liu Yin for his great contribution. At the same time, he expressed his strong support for Liu Yin's list of military supplies. All the manpower and material resources in the customs must be satisfied The needs of the frontline Shu army.

The supplies urgently needed by the Shu army on the front line are mainly food, horses, armor, ordnance, camp tents, gunpowder and other supplies. The war has consumed a lot in the past two years. It is very difficult to obtain these supplies in Hedong County, so Liu Yin is willing to take them at all costs. At Pujin Pass, only by opening the Qin-Jin passage can the Shu army on the front line get sufficient supplies.

In the past two years, the army was away, the consumption in Guanzhong was extremely low, and the warehouse was full, so he dared to boast about going to Haikou, and tried his best to meet Liu Yin's needs.

While waiting but preparing supplies, Chen Shou made a special trip to Balinghou Mansion.
