Chapter 504
However, good feelings are good feelings, Sima Qing did not forget her mission because of this, and she did not say goodbye in the barren mountains that day, which shows that her heart is very strong.
The preparations for the assassination of Liu Chan, the emperor of Shu, went quite smoothly, although there were different voices within the Wei court at that time, believing that a mediocre and incompetent Shu lord was beneficial to Wei, and if the Shu lord died and replaced by a new lord with stronger ability, it would be detrimental to Wei. However, at that time, Wei was already planning a full-scale attack on Shu, and the assassination of Liu Chan was bound to cause temporary turmoil in Shu's political situation, so the military leadership still had great expectations for this beheading operation.
Sima Qing is just a spy, not a politician, and it is her mission to complete the task, so in the assassination of Liu Chan, she has always spared no effort.
But the last blow was still in vain, Liu Yin gave up his life to block a sword for Liu Chan, and the change in Sima Qing's mentality at that time also made her subordinates leave a little affection and did not give Liu Yin a fatal sword.
At that time, Liu Yin was just a false name of a marquis, just a Yulin guard beside Liu Chan, no matter from that point of view, he would not pose any form of threat to the Wei regime, Sima Qing's target was Liu Chan, she was not cruel and ruthless by nature, she naturally would not kill innocents, not to mention that deep down in her heart, she still had a good impression of Liu Yin.
But she still underestimated Liu Yin's ability, and within three days of taking office as Lieutenant Youcheng, Liu Yin uprooted Wei's latent force in Chengdu with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, so that the Shu intelligence network that Wei had painstakingly operated for decades was dealt a devastating blow. At that time, when she was captured by Liu Yinsheng, she still had some regret in her heart, she knew that Liu Yin was so good, and the sword a few days ago was not as good as killing him.
At that time, the remorse was still light, and in the years that followed, Liu Yin set off a storm on the land of Guanlong. It made Sima Qing even more shocked, and even more regretful, that sword stabbed too lightly.
Wei Xuewu's identity saved her life again, and Liu Yin was convinced of her false identity, but it was no wonder that Wei Yan had been dead for nearly thirty years. How difficult it is to verify this history, not to mention that this Wei Xuewu originally existed, and the difference between Sima Qing and Sima Qing was only four or five years old, so he was almost impeccable in this regard.
Sima Qing left Chengdu, although she assassinated the black shark who had already committed treason, but this could not cover up the failure of her trip after all, and she returned home on the first mission, which made the arrogant Sima Qing very unconvinced, always thinking of the opportunity to compete with Liu Yin again.
The opportunity came quickly. The Wei army gathered in Guanzhong and urgently needed the intelligence of the Shu army's deployment in Hanzhong, so the military department led by Sima Qing naturally took on the task of stealing the Shu army's Hanzhong defense map. This mission was completely outstanding, which made the reputation of the blue bird resound within the Wei army, and at the same time played Liu Yin in Chen Cangdao, which also gave Sima Qing a sense of accomplishment, and it could be regarded as saving the face of Chengdu's defeat.
After the outbreak of the Wei Shu War, the two sides fell into a stalemate on the front line of the Sword Pavilion. Especially after Deng Ai's failure to smuggle through the Yinping Trail, Wei's attack was at a loss. There is an urgent need for new information to develop a new strategic approach.
Due to the collapse of the spy system of Shu led by Black Shark, the intelligence source of Wei in Shu almost became blank, and at this time, Sima Qing was ordered to sneak into Shu again.
At this time, Liu Yin became famous for his success in blocking Deng Ai in Yinping Dao, and became a pivotal figure in Shu. Sima Qing entered Shu this time. is deliberately approaching Liu Yin, because at this time she has noticed that Liu Yin will definitely become the leader of the new generation of Shu Kingdom.
Of course, at this time, Sima Qing was far from being trusted by Liu Yin, and could only be mixed in the army as a personal soldier with many confidential affairs. She didn't have a chance to participate, and even the pseudonym of Deng Ai's father and son was hidden in Liu Yin's army, and Sima Qing didn't find out. Of course, this also can't blame Sima Qing, she didn't know Deng Ai in the first place, and Deng Ai was very low-key after taking refuge in Liu Yin, even if he had the opportunity to meet, Sima Qing would not associate this old man with white hair and candles and a generation of famous generals in Longxi.
In fact, Sima Qing's biggest mistake was the estimation of gunpowder, although she already knew that Liu Yin had invented a new type of weapon gunpowder and had used it in the battle against the Wu army, but at that time only used mine ambushes and applied them in field battles, Sima Qing was far from realizing that this weapon would have a huge destructive power on the strong city wall, if Sima Qing had secretly stolen the formula of gunpowder at that time, maybe she would have succeeded a long time ago, and she would not have fallen into this step now.
Liu Yin can always have unexpected moves, such a shocking move as a detour to the snow mountain to attack Longxi was regarded as a madman by everyone at the time, even Sima Qing did not think that Liu Yin would succeed, after Han Jia learned of Liu Yin's overall plan, Sima Qing suffered from no foreign help, and he could not get out, so he had to follow Liu Yin through this death process.
After arriving in Longxi, Sima Qing was finally like a fish in water, because she could get in touch with the Wei spy organization again, and because Deng Ai was no longer hiding behind the scenes, Sima Qing finally learned Deng Ai's true identity, and in addition to being shocked, Sima Qing immediately issued an order to snipe Deng Ai. Because she knows how terrible Deng Ai's influence in Longxi is, one Deng Ai is worth 100,000 elite soldiers.
But the final result still disappointed Sima Qing, and the timely action of Zhan Hong made the action of the Longxi Military Division come to naught, and in the face of a strong army, the strength of the Military Division was thin after all. And just as Sima Qing worried, the situation in Longyou became out of control because of the existence of Deng Ai, and in just half a month, the five counties of Longyou were all easy to defend, and the impregnable Guanlong defense line of Wei State was easily torn open by Liu Yin.
Sima Qing still completed her mission, she passed the information back to Luoyang in time, at least providing an early message for the Wei court to deal with Liu Yin's surprise attack, avoiding greater passivity, and in this respect, Sima Qing's credit is indelible.
But Wei's response could not be active and effective, the bad weather made the Wei army's advance plan repeatedly blocked, and the Wei State had nothing to do on the Longxi front line all winter, which can not but be said to be Liu Yin's luck, if the Wei army attacked before he gained a firm foothold, then the possibility of defeat would be very high.
