After Jiang Wei implemented the plan to gather troops in the valley, the status of Hancheng rose sharply, and even surpassed Nanzheng to become the de facto county seat of Hanzhong, after the Hanzhong Governor's Office withdrew from Hanzhong, Jiang Bin, the protector of Hancheng, also became the de facto supreme commander of Hanzhong.

It was only two years ago that the Wei attack made Seoul an isolated island, and Jiang Bin's influence has since been confined to the walls of Seoul. After the fall of Yang'an Pass, the Wei army invaded Shu in a big way, Jiang Wei was forced to retreat to the Sword Pavilion, and the plan to gather troops in the valley was also declared bankrupt, and the strategy of defending the lost defense also came to naught.

The only thing that made Jiang Bin feel relieved was that Zhong Hui's army was in a hurry to go south, and it didn't seem to be much of an attack on the Second City of Hanle, but only sent Li Fu and Xun Kai to leave 20,000 troops to besiege the Second City of Hanle. Zhong Hui also knew very well that the Second City of Hanle, as the two fortresses that Jiang Wei had painstakingly managed, even if he poured out 100,000 troops to attack, it would take a little effort to take it, and the top priority now was to seize the Sword Pavilion and open up the road to Xichuan. After taking Yang'an Pass, the status of the two cities of Hanle plummeted, and there was no longer much strategic value, as long as it was besieged for a long time, there would always be a day when the city would run out of food, and then these two fortresses would naturally be at your fingertips.

At the same time, Zhong Hui showed off his literary brilliance and calligraphy, and wrote a letter of persuasion to Jiang Bin, in which he praised Jiang Bin's father and persuaded him to surrender.

But Jiang Bin is not Ju'an and Jiang Shu, as the famous minister of Shu Jiang Wan, Jiang Bin not only inherited his father's title, but also inherited Jiang Wan's righteous and dignified character. He was not arrogant or impatient with the messenger sent by the Zhonghui. Neither humble nor arrogant. The words gently gave Zhong Hui a soft nail.

The city defense of Seoul is strong, but there are few soldiers in the city, which is not enough to support the decision to go out of the city and the Wei army, and all Jiang Bin can do is to hold on to it, grit his teeth and insist, and this insistence is a whole year and half a year.

Over time. Holding on to Seoul became more and more difficult, and the Wei army set up a fortified village outside the city and dug deep trenches, besieging Seoul and making it impassable, and the defenders of Seoul were completely cut off from the outside world.

Although the garrison of Seoul was sufficient, and the storage of grain and grass was also abundant, it was only a matter of time before the abundant grain and grass were consumed and not replenished. Another spring is coming, and the granary in Seoul has bottomed out, which can't help but make Jiang Bin worried, there is no grain and grass. This Seoul can't be defended no matter what.

Just when Jiang Bin was worried about the future and fate of Seoul, the besieging Wei army suddenly retreated. Overnight, the Wei army's camp became empty, and there was no one left.

Jiang Bin couldn't help but be inexplicably surprised, and couldn't figure out what was going on, so that the Wei army suddenly withdrew. After the Wei army withdrew, the brigades of the Shu army arrived one after another, and Jiang Bin saw Wang She, Liu Yin, Lu Xun and others, and then understood the reason.

Jiang Bin personally went out of the city to greet Liu Yin, with a respectful attitude. This is not only Liu Yin's position above him, but more importantly, Liu Yin's immortal achievements, which can be called unprecedented. Jiang Bin was born in a famous family, when his father was alive, he was the prime minister of Shu Han, Jiang Bin naturally did not need to look up to people when he was young, but Jiang Bin admired the hero the most in his life, Liu Yin's feat deeply shocked him, and he naturally had a good impression of Liu Yin.

Liu Yin was also amazed by Jiang Bin, trapped in the lonely city for such a long time, others would have been unable to hold on for a long time, whether it was Jiang Bin, Wang Han or Liu Yin, they persevered with tenacious will and perseverance in extremely difficult circumstances, and they deserved to be the most loyal generals in Shu Han.

With the resolution of the siege of Hancheng, the history of the siege of the three key passes in Hanzhong has finally come to an end, and the entire Hanzhong has returned to the embrace of Shu Han. From the soldiers out of the Meridian Valley to the siege of Hancheng, it was only ten days before and after, Liu Yin's army swept across the entire Hanzhong Plain, and the once arrogant and invincible Wei army fled at this moment, and even the courage to respond to the battle was lost.

Liu Yin originally thought that the Wei army would fight a blocking battle at all costs, after all, the second city of Hanle had been besieged for so long, and it was almost time to reap the fruits of victory, but the sudden reinforcements of the Shu army disrupted Li Fu's steps, and it was only because of him that he gave up the siege of the second city of Hanle and withdrew his troops to defend Yang'an Pass.

Solving the siege of Hanle Second City is just the first link in Liu Yin's strategic steps, and the most important key is how to take Yang'an. Yang'an Pass is the throat of Hanzhong, only by mastering Yang'an Pass, can it be regarded as taking Hanzhong in the real sense, and at the same time, it can also be the most direct threat to Zhonghui in Shu.

Liu Yin's appetite is very great, Zhonghui's army of more than 100,000 has entered Hanzhong Shudi, and the food and logistics support all depend on these valley roads in Hanzhong, and now in one fell swoop, it has cut off the Wei army's retreat and supply lines, which is equivalent to putting Zhonghui's 100,000 army in a desperate situation.

If Zhong Hui learns the news of the cut off of the grain road, he will definitely send troops to help as soon as possible, so what Liu Yin is in front of is that he must take Yang'an Pass and seal Zhong Hui's retreat before Zhong Hui's reinforcements arrive.

Therefore, after the army arrived in Seoul, Liu Yin almost did not stop, picked up his men and horses, drove long, and went straight to Yang'an Pass.

Now Liu Yin has troops, in addition to the five battalions of 25,000 men and horses he brought into the Meridian Road this time, he also holds the six or seven thousand men and horses of the Shu army in Hanzhong. At the beginning, there were more than 15,000 people left in Hanzhong, after two years of arduous battles against the enemy, the strength of the Shu army in Hanzhong was sharply reduced, and only less than half of the troops remained, among which the heaviest losses were the four guerrilla captains headed by Lu Xun, except for Lu Xun, the other three troops were almost wiped out.

This time Liu Yin's soldiers surrounded Yang'an Pass, and naturally integrated the remnants of the Shu army in Hanzhong, divided into two battalions, named Hancheng Camp and Lecheng Battalion, respectively, commanded by Jiang Bin and Wang She, although it was not yet compiled, but the morale of the Shu army was quite high, and they were united and actively participated in the siege battle.

From Seoul all the way to the west, over Dingjun Mountain, you can clearly see the familiar city of Yang'an City, when Fu Tong fought fiercely with the Wei army in Yang'an Pass, how heroic, it was because of Jiang Shu's betrayal, Yang'an Pass was finally lost, and now Liu Yin returned to Yang'an Pass, he couldn't help but secretly swear that no matter how much Wei Jun ate, he would want him to spit it out with interest.
