The last three kingdoms

Chapter 855
"Wenxuan, you really want to die as a brother!" As soon as we met, Liu Chen gave Liu Yin a big bear hug.

Liu Yin chuckled and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, and I miss you very much."

Liu Chen looked at Liu Yin. He hadn't seen him for three years. Liu Yin had really changed a lot. He grew a beard, and his mustache made him look a lot more mature. He also had the majesty of a general. His military career was exposed to the wind and the sun, and his originally fair complexion has turned into a bronze color, and his skin has become much rougher. Obviously, in the past three years, Liu Yin has also suffered a lot. The expansion of the territory is far beyond imagination. There are many difficulties, and it is far from pointing the country to strategizing, talking and laughing and forcing the captives to be wiped out.

Liu Chen said with emotion: "Wenxuan, you have suffered a lot in the past three years. You have conquered three counties in three years. Even if you are reborn in vain, and Han Xin is reborn, you will not give up."

Liu Yin smiled calmly and said, "It's okay. Brother Wu, how is the situation in Yizhou?"

Liu Chen wondered: "Wenxuan, you don't talk about the results of the three-year attack or Guanzhong, why are you only asking about Yizhou?"

Liu Yin said with a smile: "There is nothing to talk about in the attack. Isn't the result of the battle here? You are guarding Guanzhong, and I am 120 rest assured. The emperor is in Yizhou, and there has been no news for three years. I don't know." I am very concerned about your Majesty's well-being, so I asked first."

"Wenxuan is away from the war, and I can still think about your majesty. My father heard about it, and I will be very happy. Now my father and the court have moved back to Shuzhong, and the temporary capital is Luocheng. You also know that when the capital was moved to Nanzhong, Chengdu was already burned. , became a piece of scorched earth, and the war in central Sichuan was over, and the imperial court was temporarily unable to rebuild Chengdu, so it could only temporarily move the capital to Luocheng as an expedient measure." Liu Chen said.

Liu Yin said: "Didn't Your Majesty intend to move the capital to Chang'an a few years ago? He also specially sent Du Bi to inspect it. This time he moved from Nanzhong back to Shuzhong. Why did he choose Luocheng to establish his capital? Luocheng is just a small city. , it is not suitable to be the capital no matter from that aspect. Chang'an was the capital of the former Han Dynasty, and it has palaces, which are much larger than Chengdu in terms of scale. , the hidden dangers around Guanzhong have been eliminated, and moving the capital to Chang'an can sit and watch the world, which couldn't be more appropriate."

Liu Chen sighed softly, and said: "I also had the same intention. I even sent a letter to my father, but it was a pity that nothing came of it, and I didn't get a reply. Later, in the correspondence between Master Zhang and I, I learned something about it. [-]. It turned out that it was General Jiang’s intention to move the capital to Luocheng. General Jiang believed that Yizhou was the foundation of Ji Han and should not be abandoned lightly. If you stay here for a long time, you will have to move back to the middle of Sichuan. Not to mention the waste of people and money, the blow to the morale of the people may be great, so the temporary capital is Luocheng, and after Chengdu is rebuilt, it will be restored to the old capital."

Liu Yin frowned, rebuilding Chengdu?Just kidding, how can such a huge project be completed in a short period of time? With the current national and financial resources of the Shu Han, it is simply not enough to support such a huge expenditure of rebuilding Chengdu. Jiang Wei may have other deep meanings in keeping the court in Shu .

"How is the situation in Central Shu now?" Liu Yin didn't even know anything about the situation in Guanzhong in the past few years, and his eyes were even darker about the situation in Central Shu. concerned.

Liu Chen knew the situation in central Shu very well, so he explained it to Liu Yin in detail.After Zhong Hui withdrew his troops from Badong Trail and returned to Jingzhou, Jiang Wei took advantage of the situation and recaptured Langzhong and took control of Brazil County. , finally gained the upper hand.

But Wu Guo refused to easily give up the results he had already obtained. Although Lu Kang was transferred away, the new governor of Yizhou, Shi Ji, was also a well-known general in Soochow Wu. It was defense, and Soochow sent him to replace Lu Kang because of his ability in defense and combat.

Now that the Kingdom of Shu has recovered most of Yizhou's territory, morale is booming, and after Soochow's entire strategic policy moves northward, Yizhou can only take a defensive position.

Jiang Wei naturally refused to let Eastern Wu continue to occupy the territory of the Shu Han, and sent his troops eastward to take Jiangzhou and Yong'an. After more than a year of fierce fighting, the Shu army finally took Jiangzhou, and Shi Ji was forced to After retreating to Yong'an, all the land that Wu had invaded and swallowed up in Shu, except for a city in Yong'an, was spit out.

But in the process of attacking Yong'an, Jiang Wei suffered repeated setbacks, and he has not been able to win Yong'an until now.

"It's a pity that Yong'an City has not been taken down until now. If Yong'an can be taken down, all the lost ground can be regained." Liu Chen said with some emotion.

Liu Yindao: "Yong'an is known as the gateway to Badong, and together with Jiange, it is called the double insurance of Shuzhong. The Wu people have taken Yong'an for many years. If you continue to manage it deliberately, Yong'an will be as solid as a rock. If you want to regain it, it will not be easy. thing."

Yong'an City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and faces the river on one side. The terrain is extremely dangerous, and it is the throat of entering Shu. If Lu Kang did not attack Yong'an with a plan, the Wu people would have no chance to enter Shu.

In history, after the fall of the Kingdom of Shu, the Kingdom of Wu took the opportunity to invade with troops, but was resisted by Luo Xian.At that time, Luo Xian only had 2000 troops, but the army sent by Wu Guo had [-] troops, which had an overwhelming advantage.However, Luo Xian was very indignant at the behavior of the Wu people. Since he was an ally, he would not rescue them in times of trouble.

The battle of Yong'an has been going on for more than half a year, and the reinforcements from the Jin Kingdom have not arrived for a long time, but Luo Xian insisted on defending Yong'an City with his own efforts, and failed to let the Wu soldiers advance one step forward.Until Hu Lie led his troops to attack Xiling, the Wu people were tight in the rear and were finally forced to retreat.

Although the battle of Yong'an was saved by Luo Xian's firm will and bravery, it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the special geographical location of Yong'an City that Luo Xian has the opportunity to shine, otherwise such a disparity in military strength In contrast, even with the help of God, Luo Xian couldn't hold it.

Now that Yong'an is in the hands of the Wu people, they will naturally make good use of its value. This is the only achievement that the Wu people have left after paying countless prices for entering Shu this time. Besides, Yong'an is not only the gateway to Yizhou, but also the gateway to attack Jingzhou. As a bridgehead, in order to ensure the safety of Jingzhou, Yong'an City must also be preserved.

Shi Ji came to guard with determination, and Wu Guo had concentrated tens of thousands of troops. Yong'an at this moment is much stronger than when Luo Xian was the governor of Yong'an. No matter how powerful Jiang Wei is, it will not be easy to win.
