Chapter 78 Hanzhong Defense Map

As soon as Hu Ji came in, he saw that the scene was very stiff, and he couldn't help frowning, although the relationship between the military and the Hanzhong Division of the Lieutenant's Mansion has never been harmonious, but Liu Yin is an official from the imperial court, and he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, Hu Ji doesn't want to stiffen the relationship, so Hu Ji glared at Hu Xia and reprimanded: "Presumptuous!" In front of Lord Youcheng, you dare to be so arrogant, how unreasonable! ”

Hu Xia's expression withered, and in front of Hu Ji, he could only obediently clamp his tail and retreat resignedly.

Hu Ji said with a smile: "Liu Youcheng, the people below are ineffective and slack, I'm really sorry." All the documents and files in this secret room, Liu Youcheng only needs to check them. ”

This Hu Ji's former condescension made Liu Yin a little inexplicable. In fact, Liu Yin left Hu Ji's middle hall with his front foot, and Hu Ji called someone to inquire, not to mention, the intelligence source of the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion is also very accurate, and he also has a clear grasp of the personnel changes in the court.

Hu Ji couldn't sit still, although his official rank was above Liu Yin, but he was a member of the royal family, and this person Hu Ji really couldn't afford to offend. So he immediately rushed to the confidential room.

Liu Yin is not a roundworm in his stomach, so he naturally doesn't know why Hu Ji's attitude will make a 180-degree turn, but since the military is willing to cooperate with him, it makes Liu Yin more worry-free, and after thanking him, Liu Yin's eyes fell on the box where the Hanzhong defense map was stored.

The most important thing to judge whether this box has been moved or not is to look at the dust, dust is a thing that is difficult to fake, and the dust that falls naturally is very different from the dust that is artificially sprinkled, and it is easy to distinguish. Liu Yin noticed that the box was made of walnut wood, and there was a layer of light dust on and around the box, which was very uniform and consistent in thickness, and it could be intuitively seen that this wooden box had not been opened for at least a few months.

Liu Yin motioned for Zheng Yi to open the box and took out the scroll inside.

The Hanzhong defense map is drawn on this silk scroll, the geography of the mountains and rivers in Hanzhong, the deployment of troops are all detailed in the drawing on it, where to garrison troops, where to store grain, the number of troops in each encirclement, and the details of the deployment are clearly marked.

Liu Yin knew very well that this defense map was exactly what Zhong Hui, the commander of Wei, was most eager to obtain, and once it was stolen by Wei spies and fell into the hands of Zhong Hui, Zhong Hui could fully grasp the deployment of the Shu army in Hanzhong and formulate a perfect attack plan. The safety of Hanzhong and even the survival of Shu are only tied to this map, which makes Liu Yin only feel that this picture seems to be a thousand weights.

Even Liu Yin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, if this map was destroyed, the Wei spy would not be able to succeed even if he was as cunning as a fox.

However, in an instant, Liu Yin gave up this unrealistic idea, first of all, this picture is just a transcript, and the original is still in Jiang Wei's place, and secondly, such a top-secret document, of course, is salivating for the Wei State, but it is also very important for the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion of Shu State, at least Hu Ji must use it to grasp the deployment of the three cities of Hanle, Yang'an, and An, if it is really lost, the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion will only become a deaf and blind man, and he can't even do it as a confidant, how to know the other, how to deal with the war?

Liu Yin quickly put away the defense map and put it in the box, put it back in its place, quarreled with Hu Jihan, said goodbye, and left the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion.

After going out, Liu Yin did not immediately return to the Hanzhong Division outside the city, but found an inn on a street outside the governor's mansion and stayed.

"Why does Lord Youcheng want to stay in the inn? The conditions on the Hanzhong Division side are much better than the inn. Zheng Yi was very puzzled.

Liu Yin smiled indifferently, this trip to Hanzhong is shouldering an important mission, and it doesn't matter if the food and lodging are good at all, and the most important thing is that Liu Yin wants to compete with the blue bird.

This inn is one of the largest inns in Nanzhengcheng, with a three-story structure and magnificent momentum. Liu Yin chose a guest room facing the street on the third floor, and when he opened the window, he could see the tall courtyard wall of the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion, which was a few hundred steps away from the secret room.

"Who is this Hu Xia?" Liu Yin looked at the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion and asked.

"Although Hu Xia is a member of the army, he is Hu Ji's own nephew, and he is very ostentatious in the Governor's Mansion, if Hu Ji does not come forward today, I am afraid that Lord Youcheng will not be able to bargain on Hu Xia." Zheng Yi has been in Hanzhong for a long time, and he knows the personnel situation in Hanzhong well.

Liu Yin nodded slightly, this coincided with what he was thinking, and as soon as he made contact, Liu Yin understood that this Hu Xia must have a great relationship with Hu Ji, he is Hu Ji's nephew, no wonder he is so public. And he was in charge of the defense of the confidential room, which made Liu Yin very worried.

"This Hu Xia is not only flamboyant but also very arrogant, Hanzhong's defense plan is very important, if you rely on this person alone, it is very dangerous. Zheng Sicheng, you go back and mobilize some people to come over, secretly set up some secret posts around the Governor's Mansion, and closely monitor the people who enter and leave the Governor's Mansion in Hanzhong, especially around the confidential room, and make sure that they are not infiltrated by the Wei State. ”

Zheng Sicheng gave up his order and immediately returned to the Taoist temple to arrange for people to come.

Liu Yin divided the officers of the Hanzhong Division into two groups, one on East Street and one on West Street, all of which adopted the situation of secret sentry and closely monitored the situation around the Governor's Mansion.

For three days and three nights, nothing happened.

In the past three days, Liu Yin almost didn't close his eyes at night, personally patrolling on the front line, he knew very well that the blue bird was eager to get the Hanzhong defense map, and he would definitely sneak into the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion to steal it, as long as the Lieutenant's Mansion and the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion cooperated inside and outside, it would not be easy for the Blue Bird to succeed.

On the fourth night, Liu Yin was really sleepy, so he handed over the task of squatting to Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo, and fell asleep in the guest room. Originally, Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo's task was to check the checkpoints around Nanzheng to check the passing pedestrians and merchants, but Liu Yin thought that the really good spies would not bother with infiltrating this at all, and it was likely that the blue bird had already infiltrated Nanzheng City and waited for an opportunity, and now it was in vain to intercept it on a large scale outside the city.

Therefore, Liu Yin arranged for others to continue to check at the checkpoints outside the city, and Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo, two capable cadres, were transferred back to the city, and with them assisting Zheng Yi to squat, Liu Yin seemed to feel that he could sleep for a while.

Unexpectedly, just after the fourth watch, Zheng Yi rushed in in to wake up Liu Yin.

"Lord Youcheng, something is wrong-"
