Chapter 167: Going to the Banquet Zhang Mansion

After the dinner, Liu Yin did not go back to the room to rest, but went to the annex in the East Wing, where Deng Ai and Deng Zhong's father and son were placed.

The courtyard was very quiet, Ah Jian deliberately changed the guards here, and transferred several of his most trusted Qiang guards over, and no one could enter this courtyard without Liu Yin's permission.

When Liu Yin came in, Deng Ai and his son had just had dinner, and according to Liu Yin's explanation, entertaining Deng Ai and his son was the highest standard of guest gifts, and the food was the best thing in Anping's palace.

Deng Ai and his son got up to greet each other, the two sides exchanged a few words, and after sitting down, Liu Yin said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Ai lives here, have you ever used to it?" ”

Deng Ai smiled indifferently and said: "Ai Rong Ma has been accustomed to a military career all his life, and now he is in a secluded room, calm and peaceful, and it is also interesting. Today, the lord went to the holy court, but he didn't know what reward he received? ”

Liu Yin said truthfully: "By the grace of His Majesty, he moved to the right to hold Jinwu and lead General Anxi, and commanded the three battalions. ”

Deng Ai said: "I have heard that the person who was named the general in the Shu Han Dynasty has a lot of volume, and the lord has this great feat, but he only got the title of General Anxi, and the lord of Shu is too small. In Deng Ai's opinion, Liu Yinguang can be ranked among the generals in front and behind by virtue of only beheading 10,000 people, and General Anxi is second-class. Deng Ai is also looking forward to Liu Yin's mastery of military power, only if he becomes a figure in the Shu Han army who can be ranked with Jiang Wei, Deng Ai Xueqiu will have a chance, from the level of General Anxi to the general, there is a lot of difference.

Liu Yin understood Deng Ai's thoughts, and said with a slight smile: "I first took up the military position. is already ranked as General Anxi, which is not low, not to mention that as long as there are military merits in the future. It's not hard to get promoted. Now that the Wei army is newly defeated, Zhong will be blocked from the Sword Pavilion, according to Mr. Ai's opinion, what will Zhong Hui do next? ”

Deng Ai pondered for a moment and said: "A certain Yongliang soldier will be wiped out all the way, and the entire army of Shu will inevitably shake, and Zhong will not be able to attack the Sword Pavilion for a long time." There will definitely be a retreat. It was thought that Zhong Hui would never withdraw from Hanzhong easily, and most likely would retreat to Yang'an Pass. And set up an ambush on the road to ambush Jiang Wei, if Jiang Wei dared to go out of the Sword Pavilion, it would be in the middle of the Zhongzhong's arms. If Jiang Wei had not pursued, Zhong Hui would have been able to stop his troops at Yang'an Pass. Replenish grain and grass. Attack the Sword Pavilion again in the coming year. In short, the loss of Shu Hanzhong is like losing a barrier, and Wei Zhilongxi Guanzhong is a line of worry-free. Although the Sword Pavilion is dangerous, it has no advantage of depth, and the Wei soldiers come to attack from time to time, once the defense of the Shu army is lax. The consequences are unpredictable. ”

"Mr. Ai thinks Zhong Hui will retire soon?"

Of course, this is just Zhong Hui's wishful thinking, Wei Zhiquan. All in the hands of the King of Jin, the King of Jin is eloquent, this time has made up his mind to go out to attack Shu, will not be discouraged by a small setback, in the Guanluo area, the Wei army still has 100,000 mobile troops, the attitude of the King of Jin will determine the follow-up process of the battle of Shu, if the 100,000 army into Sichuan, Zhong Hui will definitely not retreat, the defensive pressure of the Sword Pavilion will increase. ”

Since Deng Ai promised Liu Yin to be his staff, it seems that he has integrated into the role quite quickly, and he is familiar with the high-level operations within the Wei army.

Liu Yin nodded secretly, what Deng Ai said was reasonable, it seems that the victory of the Yinping Resistance War is far from a time to celebrate, it is just to alleviate the temporary crisis of Shu Han, Sima Zhao is determined to destroy Shu, he will definitely mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to invest in the battle of Shu, Deng Ai's 30,000 horses, this loss, for the powerful Wei State, is just a drop in the penny, far from the point of breaking the muscles and bones.

Next, perhaps a more tragic war awaits the Shu people, and the loss of Hanzhong has opened a door for the Wei State, and the border of the Shu State will never be peaceful.

As for keeping Deng Ai by his side, although Fu Yan objected, thinking that Deng Ai was a tiger and difficult to control, Liu Yin insisted on his opinion, Deng Ai may not be able to be a confidant, but with Deng Ai's outstanding ability, Liu Yin didn't want to waste it in vain, not to mention that Deng Ai only existed as a staff member, and Liu Yin would not give him the opportunity to be a second Meng Da.

The next day, many wealthy families in Chengdu sent invitations to invite Liu Yin to the banquet. These scholars have a very sensitive sense of smell, this time Liu Yin has made a great contribution, added an official to the knighthood, and is deeply valued by Liu Chan, and now Liu Yin has undoubtedly become the first celebrity in the court, and many people have the heart to make friends with Liu Yin.

However, Liu Yin didn't have the heart to go to the banquet, firstly, he was not the kind of person who tended to be inflammatory, and secondly, Liu Yin was ready to integrate his army, as Deng Ai said, Sima Zhao would definitely be unwilling to fail, and then increase his troops in Hanzhong, and the next battle would probably be more difficult to fight.

But there is an invitation from one person, but Liu Yin can't refuse.

The next post is not someone else, it is Zhang Le, but it is Zhang Le's father Zhang Shao, the marquis of Xixiang, who invited the guest, not to mention anything else, just the relationship with Zhang Le, this meal in Zhang's mansion, Liu Yin can't shirk it.

"Big brother, you are a big celebrity now, these dignitaries and nobles are all on the pole and want to slap you." Zhang Le saw a bunch of invitations on Liu Yin's case, and said with a smile.

Liu Yin smiled bitterly and said: "Mu Xiu Yu Lin, what's the matter, Ling Zun also wants to invite me." ”

Zhang Le snorted and said, "Do you think my old man also wants to slap you?" Beautiful you! My lord has spoken, I invite you to the banquet today, because you took care of me on the Yinping trail and didn't let me miss my arms and legs. ”

"Well, it's a must!" Liu Yin said with a smile. Although Zhang Le's reason sounds far-fetched, as the only remaining force of the Yuan Cong system, Zhang Shao has always been the person Liu Yin wants to befriend, not only because the Zhang family is a relative, but also because the founding minister, the Zhang family has a prominent position in the Shu Han Dynasty, if you can get his full support, many things can get twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Yin changed his clothes, went out of the house with Zhang Lexiang, and did not bring many entourages, only took A Jian and a few other family soldiers, and went to Zhang's mansion on horseback.

Although the mansion of Zhangfu is not as magnificent as the Anping Palace, but in Chengdu City, it is also one of the best mansions, the two stone lions in front of the door are majestic, the crimson vermilion lacquer gate is extraordinary, and the plaque of "Xixiang Houfu" with red background and gold characters hanging high at the door is shining.

With Zhang Le leading the way, Liu Yin walked unimpeded all the way, passed through the hall, and came directly to the middle hall.

Above the middle hall, the wine banquet has already been prepared, the aroma of wine is overflowing, and the delicacies are fragrant. (To be continued......)
