Chapter 465: Going East with the River

Shu Han to Shangyong troops, that has to be traced back to the Shu Han before the founding of the country, when Liu Bei captured Hanzhong, the army was prosperous, full of spirit, is to send Meng Da, Liu Feng to attack Shangyong, Xicheng, Fangling, at that time, Liu Bei across Jingyi, full of ambition, faintly have the intention of competing for the world.

But Liu Bei's glory was only a flash in the pan, Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and lost Jingzhou, and Meng Da brought the three eastern counties to Wei, which was tantamount to adding insult to injury. The Shu Han regime that lost Jingzhou and Shangyongdong three counties, in the end can only retreat to the Bashu Hanzhong, although the mountains and rivers are conducive to defense, but also not conducive to attack, in the following decades, Shu Han frequently used troops abroad, but has been trapped in the lofty mountains and mountains of Shu, not an inch in.

The capricious Meng Da was rebellious again because he was not treated well in the Wei State, and wanted to return to Shu Han, but Sima Yi did not give him another chance, and after Meng Da died and died, the three eastern counties were once again unknown. Compared with Guanlong, which is constantly fighting, although it is also on the border of Wei and Shu, for more than 40 years, there has never been a war here in the three eastern counties, and a state of peace has been maintained.

During the period when Jiang Wan was in power, he put forward a plan to move east along the water and take the three eastern counties, but as soon as this plan was proposed, it was opposed by all parties, and the reason was very simple, it was easy to send troops by water, but if it failed, it would be difficult to return. Under the resistance of all parties, this plan was eventually aborted, and later Jiang Wan died, and no one mentioned the plan to take the upper memorial in the east again.

The three eastern counties are a region with a relatively special geographical environment, with heavy mountains and mountains, dangerous mountains and dangerous waters. Surrounded by mountains. Fourth, the danger is important. Since ancient times, it has been called the Austrian District, and within the three counties, it is self-contained and has frequent exchanges, but it is closed to the outside world and isolated from the world for a long time.

It is indeed very difficult to attack the three eastern counties, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, from the east of the Han Dynasty. The terrain descends in steps, and attacking it is like a tiger descending a mountain, but retreating is a high mountain, and the ease of advancing and retreating in the art of war is very inapplicable here.

But Liu Yin has no choice at the moment, Sima Zhao tried to use Wei to save Zhao to resolve the crisis of Zhonghui, why can't he use his own way to govern him?

On the same day, Liu Yin led his troops to leave Yang'an Pass, and the soldiers and horses in Hanzhong still stayed in Hanzhong, Jiang Bin still guarded Hancheng, and Wang She still guarded Lecheng. As for Yang'an Pass, Liu Yin arranged for Liu Yin to be stationed. However, the thousands of Wei troops surrendered, but Liu Yin took them away without leaving any of them.

Hanzhong has always been the defense area of the general Jiang Wei, and the soldiers and horses stationed in Hanzhong are also directly under the command of Jiang Wei, but in the past two years, the siege of Hanzhong has been besieged by the Wei army, and they have to fight separately and lose contact with Jiang Wei. Now that Hanzhong has been recovered, these armies will naturally be rebuilt, and Liu Yin has not used a single soldier in Hanzhong.

Each unit has different subordinates, and for the needs of the war, a general with a higher rank can temporarily command troops elsewhere, but after the war, the original structure and subordinate relationship cannot be mistaken. When Liu Yin's Anxi Army was established, Fu Yan's Yang'an Battalion was originally under Jiang Wei's command, and after Liu Chan's special approval, it was assigned to Liu Yin's command.

With Liu Yin's current authority, it is naturally impossible to assign the Hanzhong army to his own army, of course, Liu Yin does not want to annex the Hanzhong army, let alone intensify the contradiction with Jiang Wei because of this. At the moment of the great enemy, internal strife is tantamount to the most stupid approach, and only by unanimating with the outside world can there be hope for victory.

Jiang Bin, Wang She, and Liu Yin personally went out of the city to see them off, for them, Liu Yin was undoubtedly a life-saving benefactor, if Liu Yin did not come to the rescue, maybe there was still gold in Lecheng in Hancheng, which had fallen at the moment, and had persisted for nearly two years, and the Shu army in Hanzhong had really reached the end of the crossbow.

"Da En doesn't dare to say thank you, if General Liu gets my Jiang someone's place in the future, just open your mouth, and Bin will die in return." Jiang Bin arched his hand and said, his words were sincere and heartfelt. Wang She and Liu Yin also expressed their gratitude in the same way, Liu Yinzhi has made great contributions to Hanzhong.

Liu Yin smiled indifferently and said: "General Jiang is too polite, he is also a minister of the Han family, and it is his duty to help each other, so why thank you." Send you a thousand miles, there will be a farewell, please go back, the defense of Hanzhong, please leave it to you, I hope that in the future on the battlefield of Wei, we will have the opportunity to fight side by side again. ”

Jiang Bin, Wang She, Liu Yin and Liu Yin said goodbye, watching Liu Yin ride away from the dust, and couldn't help but sigh.

Liu Yin left Hanzhong like this, and waved his sleeves lightly, not taking away half of the clouds.

But Liu Yin's heart is still full of heavy gains, and it is also a little unexpected for Liu Yin to recover Hanzhong so smoothly. The recovery of Hanzhong, for the current Guanlong as the base of Liu Yin's army, has a very important significance, there is no worries, the entire Guanlong area has become as solid as a rock, Liu Yin only needs to wholeheartedly pass through the east road, guard against the counterattack from the Kanto, Tongguan to Wuguan has the danger of mountains and rivers, the strong Qin is because of the land in Guanzhong, in order to see the world.

Thinking of crossing over at the beginning, Shu Han will fall, Sheji will fall, the entire Han dynasty is in a storm, Liu Yin simply relied on his own strength to turn the tide and rushed out of a bloody battle in a desperate situation. Now Guan Long is in hand, Hanzhong is recovered, even the land of Bashu has recovered most of it, the most critical moment of the Shu Han regime has passed, next, it is time to consolidate the existing territory, ready to wait for the opportunity to expand the results, Liu Yin believes that as long as the unremitting development, the revival of the Han Dynasty is not an empty word.

After arriving at the gold, Liu Yin ordered the army to take a short rest, and this time he went east to the three eastern counties, and Liu Yin planned to take the land and water routes, and march together. All the way from Yang'an Pass, Liu Yin had already ordered the requisition of all the official ships and fishing boats on the water.

Due to the shallow and turbulent water and the impermanence of the water, in Hanzhong, whether it is the government or the merchants, they use relatively small passenger boats and fishing boats, and there are no big ships like Soochow. However, no matter how small the ship is, it can also carry a lot of things, which is better than nothing for Liu Yin, who is trying to use the waterway to transport grain and grass materials.

However, it seems difficult to rely on the superiority of the sailors, and now it is April, which is the dry season of the water, and the dangerous shoals and reefs are dotted everywhere, and many ships have accidentally stranded on the river.

After Liu Yin completed the assembly of gold, he led the army by land and water, went down the river to the east, and looked at the west city of the three counties in the east. (To be continued.) )
