The negotiations with Zhan Hong went smoothly, and since Zhan Hong decided to follow Deng Ai, all affairs were subject to Deng Ai's arrangement. The conditions brought by Deng Ai were also very generous, Liu Yin allowed Lianhong to continue to serve as the Taishou of Longxi County, and the soldiers and horses under his command were still under his command, and the officials in the county were all still appointed, and at the same time, Lianhong was crowned as the general of Jingyuan and the Marquis of Anshun Pavilion.

Liu Yin's power is to appoint and dismiss officials of 2,000 stone and below, as for the knighthood, it is divided by Liu Chen, the king of the northern land of the supervising army, on behalf of the emperor of Ji Han, and Zhan Hong is a key to open Longyou, and taking Longxi County is equivalent to revitalizing the overall situation, so the reward for Zhan Hong is naturally quite generous.

After the banquet dispersed, Deng Ai and Jian Hong discussed overnight, implemented many details one by one, and asked Ah Jian to rush back overnight to inform Liu Yin.

Liu Yin heard the news in Lintao and was overjoyed, it seems that Deng Ai is out of the horse, and it is indeed a success. Ah Jian elaborated on the attack outside Xiangwu City, and Liu Yin was also secretly taken aback.

Deng Ai's trip to Xiangwu was quite secretive, and there were not many people who knew about it, but the people from the Wei State Military Department would intercept and kill them halfway, obviously they got accurate information, and as for how this information was leaked, it is really incredible. However, Liu Yin, the energy of the Wei State spies, has still seen it, who can guarantee that among the 30,000 horses he brought, there are no spies mixed with the Wei State?

This leak incident reminded Liu Yin again, the powerful Wei spies not only did not disappear, but went deeper into the interior of the Shu army, and even approached the decision-making circle, which is a very dangerous thing, and this hidden danger must be removed, otherwise their plans may be stolen by Wei spies at any time.

Liu Yin said with a serious expression: "Ah Jian, there are not many people who know that Mr. Ai went to Xiangwu this time, you go and check it carefully." Be sure to find out this inner ghost. At the same time, the escort force allocated to Mr. Ai has been doubled, and he is always on guard, and if the Wei State spy fails to succeed in one blow, he must be very unwilling, and he will continue to attack Mr. Ai. No matter what, you have to keep Mr. Ai safe. In addition, the guards around all generals above the level of the army must also be strengthened to guard against the enemy's assassination. ”

Wars are often unscrupulous, and the so-called righteous fighting is just a joke, and in order to achieve victory, any means are used to the extreme.

Ah Jian gave up his promise and retreated. Liu Yin immediately went to see Liu Chen and told him that Longxi had conquered.

Liu Chen was surprised and delighted. said: "Wenxuan, this Mr. Ai under your account is very powerful, and he actually said that he moved Longxi to descend with only three inches of incorruptible tongue, and he is really capable!" ”

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said, "Fifth brother, don't hide it, this Mr. Ai is Deng Ai, the former general of the Wei State to conquer the west. ”

"Ahh Liu Chen was stunned, and his mouth was greatly opened into an O-shape. Deng Aike is Shu Han's old enemy. The sound is magnificent, and the children in Shu can stop crying at night when they hear it. Such a big tiger, Liu Yin actually kept it by his side, it is really incredible.

Liu Yin said: "At that time, in the battle of Yinping, Deng Ai was captured alive, and he was allowed to do three things, and he was willing to surrender to him." Deng Ai has been operating Longyou for many years. has deep connections here, Deng Ai's mouth is better than tens of thousands of male soldiers, and the younger brother left him alive at that time, thinking that he might be able to use it in the future. Today, with his help, he took Longxi without much effort. ”

Liu Chen sighed: "Wenxuan is far-sighted and far-sighted. Deng Ai made this special merit, and it should be a heavy reward, and he should be named a liege, so as to show his merits. ”

Liu Yin shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "At that time, one of the three things about Yiyun Deng Ai was not a minister in Ji Han, no matter how high the lord was, he would not accept it. Liu Yin knows that Deng Ai is a proud person, these three things are his bottom line, and it is impossible to touch and surpass, if Deng Aiken was sealed, Liu Yin would have named him a military general, and he would not be incognito until now, just a behind-the-scenes staff.

Liu Chen also knows that everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced, since Deng Ai has such intentions, he is reluctant.

Longxi has been taken, Wudang and Yang'an battalions have also arrived in Xiangwu in advance, Liu Yin ordered to immediately set up the camp, and led the remaining four battalions to Xiangwu immediately.

The four gates of Xiangwu City were opened, and the officials in the county led by the Taishou of Longxi to walk out of the city and ask Liu Yin to surrender. Liu Yin dismounted and personally hugged each other, and the group went straight to Xiangwu City.

And this time, the biggest hero, Deng Ai, once again quietly disappeared behind the scenes, as if he had never appeared.

After Liu Yin entered the city, he immediately became Zhang Bang and the people, the military discipline of the Shu army was strict, Yu Minqiu did not commit any crimes, and after a short period of uneasiness and commotion, Xiangwu City quickly returned to its previous calm.

For the common people, the only thing that feels the change is that the head of Xiangwu City no longer flutters the Chu yellow "Wei" flag, but instead of the crimson "Han" flag, the street patrol is no longer the Wei soldiers in Chu yellow military uniforms, replaced by Shu soldiers in crimson military uniforms.

In addition, there has been no change in Longxi County, Shinong Industry and Commerce, each operating the old business, how to live and how to live, has not been affected at all.

For the common people, a stable and stable life is their pursuit, and food and clothing are their thoughts, as for the land under their feet, surnamed Wei and Shu, for them, there is no difference at all.

Liu Yin was pleased to see such a situation, and he once again ordered to reaffirm military discipline, never allowing any incident that disturbs the people, and the peaceful transition in Longxi is of paramount importance.

As for the supply of grain and grass for the 30,000 Shu army, after taking Longxi, it was temporarily solved, and the grain stored in the Longxi County Treasury could provide several months of grain and grass support, but if he wanted to completely solve the problem of grain and grass, he proposed to Liu Yin that Tianshui County must be taken as soon as possible.

Tianshui County is the largest county in the Longyou region, formerly known as Hanyang County, its county governance Ji County has always been the original Liangzhou Prefecture, but later changed to Yongzhou, the governance office moved to Chang'an, despite this, Tianshui County in Longyou, is still in the center of the position, whether it is population or strategic location, there are in the first place. Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan several times, and the first thing he wanted to seize was Tianshui County.

Tianshui County has the only granary of Wei in the Longyou region, and there is a large amount of grain and grass in the tuning, and if Tianshui is taken, the Shu army of the Northern Expedition will no longer have to worry about food shortage.

Of course, Liu Yin's eyes are not limited to one county in Longxi, the second day after entering Longxi, Liu Yin was already arranging troops and pointing directly at the three counties of Longdong. (To be continued.) )
