Chapter 257: Everything is under control

PS: Genuine readers will read it in ten minutes, thank you

Liu Yin has been thinking about the itinerary again, if according to the original historical records, Deng Ai set off from Yinping in winter and October, all the way to dig the mountain passage, build a bridge pavilion, where more than 20 days, travel more than 700 miles, first climb to Jiangyou. The specific time of Deng Ai's departure is unknown, according to the record of the surrender of the city after the first day of the lunar month, Deng Ai also set off in early October at the latest, and may even be a few days in early October, more than 20 days out of the Yinping Trail, and later fought a battle in Mianzhu, if it was late, but there was no time to march to Chengdu, you must know that Deng Ai's troops no longer have a war horse, all are infantry.

Looking at the calendar, September is coming to an end, Deng Ai is almost about to set off, and there is not much time left for Liu Yin, after all, there is a distance of seven or eight hundred miles from Chengdu to Jiangyou, even if the road is easier to walk than the Yinping Trail, it will take ten days, Liu Yin must arrive at Jiangyou in front of Deng Ai, occupy the favorable pass first, and make adequate preparations, so Liu Yin decided to leave on the first day of October at the latest.

Of course, it's useless to go early, the Yinping Trail is only a dangerous path left to the world after Deng Ai's passage, and it will be talked about by future generations, and now it is just a barren mountain range, Liu Yin can probably judge which road Deng Ai will appear from near Jiangyou, which road will appear from, this will also be a mystery.

Therefore, as early as a few days ago, Liu Yin had already sent Ah Jian with several Qiang guards to Jiangyou in advance to reconnoiter the movements of the Wei army. According to historical records, Deng Ai set out from Yinping, took Yinping Bridge, crossed the Motianling, passed through Tangjia River, Luoyigou, Yinping Mountain, Ma Zhuanguan, Jingjun Mountain, Qingdao Crossing, and finally arrived at Jiangyou Pass. Liu Yin is very clear. In addition to the start and end points. Other place names at this time are not right at all, because now there is a deserted place, these place names are taken by later generations, and now according to the map, it is simply a fish for the wood. As long as reconnaissance personnel were sent deep into the mountains, it was possible to find out the true route of the Wei army and set up a block in the direction of its advance.

Ah Jian is extraordinary. Mountaineering and crossing mountains, such as covering the ground, the escort ability of several Qiang people who went with him was not weaker than him, providing them with a general direction, they could search for the traces of the Wei army in the deep mountains, and the large operation of tens of thousands of people did not want to be discovered by reconnaissance, which was almost impossible.

As long as the Wei army can be discovered, Liu Yin's plan will be half successful, and the rest. It is necessary to complete the prevention of Deng Ai in a suitable place, as long as Deng Ai is not allowed to enter the plains. Sleepiness can trap him in the mountains.

Since preparing for the trip, Liu Yin has not gone to the lieutenant's palace to report, first, there is no time, second, there is no need, due to the opposition of the ministers of the court, Liu Yin said that he would not use the soldiers and horses of the court and only rely on his own private troops, which of course also includes the power of the lieutenant's office. In fact, in addition to civilian personnel, the Lieutenant's Mansion does not have too many mobile forces, and if the troops can be mobilized, Liu Yin is more inclined to mobilize the Hubu Battalion.

But the emperor's Praetorian Guard troops can't transfer a soldier at all now, Liu Chan alone can't pass this pass, after the attack on Qingcheng Mountain, Liu Chan seems to have fallen ill, and the transfer of the Royal Forest Army troops is like pulling his tendons and picking his skin, in order to win Liu Chan's permission, Liu Yin can only rely on the power of the imperial court.

Although he was a little helpless, this stimulated Liu Yin's bloodiness even more, no matter what, he had to fight for it.

"Young master, there are people outside the door asking to see you." The steward stepped forward to report to Liu Yin.

"Oh, who is it?" Liu Yin asked casually, he was arranging the final task, and after completing it, it was time to hit the road.

The steward said: "It's Zhang Duwei and Zhao Duwei of the Lieutenant's Mansion." ”

"Is that them?" Liu Yin laughed lightly, he has been so busy these days that he has not bothered to contact Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo. "Invite them in."

"Big brother, you're too boring, and you don't discuss such a big matter with your brother!" From afar, I heard Zhang Lego complaining loudly.

Liu Yin smiled slightly apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I've been too busy these days, I'm going to inform everyone before leaving, forgive me." ”

Zhang Le's face was full of displeasure, and he snorted heavily, and said, "Big brother, do you say that we are still brothers?" ”

"Of course, how can you say this for no reason?" Liu Yin was a little stunned.

"Since you are brothers, you go to Jiangyou to intercept the Wei soldiers, why don't you take me and Brother Zhuo, didn't we say okay, share weal and woe with the rich and noble, now that there is something, you actually left our brothers and did it alone, you are too unrighteous!" Zhang Le rolled his eyes and said.

Zhao Zhuo also arched his hand and said: "Big brother, our brothers are righteous and swear to live and die together, now that the national disaster is at the head, we are willing to follow the eldest brother to the national disaster." ”

Liu Yin pulled one with one hand, and said with a wry smile: "How can I forget our brotherhood, just above the court, I have promised Your Majesty not to call a single soldier of the imperial court, you two are on an errand in the Lieutenant's Mansion, if you are pulled here, wouldn't it be dishonest to Your Majesty, so I didn't inform you for the time being, but I want to drink your candied wine before leaving." ”

Zhang Le glared at the beads and asked, "If we don't work in the Lieutenant's Mansion anymore, can we go to Jiangyou with you?" ”

"This is natural, but you are the lieutenant of the lieutenant's mansion, why can you leave your post without permission?" Liu Yin said inexplicably.

Zhao Zhuo said: "Big brother, we have heard about you for a long time, for this reason, Brother Le and I have submitted our resignation to Lord He of Zhijinwu, and Lord He has approved it, now the two of us are white, and we are no longer court officials, and we can't care where the court goes." ”

"You're resigning?" Liu Yin was taken aback, and said in astonishment: "How can you be so arrogant, the left and right auxiliary lieutenants, the official position of six hundred stones, is it easy for you to mix up now?" ”

Zhang Le smiled and said: "This is authorized by Lord He, Lord He said, when he comes back from the battle, he will immediately reinstate our officials, if he really makes a great contribution, he will be promoted." ”

Liu Yin couldn't help but be stunned, although he and He Zeng worked together in the same agency, they did not have a deep relationship, He Zeng looked very bureaucratic, but he didn't expect that he could support himself in this way at a critical time. He Zeng, who openly sent the troops of the Lieutenant's Mansion, may not have the courage, after all, there are so many pairs of eyes in the court, and he dismissed Zhang Le and Zhao Zhuo from their posts to dispatch them by himself, and He Zeng could be regarded as a small trick.

Liu Yin couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, it turned out that he was not alone, with these friends, he was not fighting alone. (To be continued......)
