Chen Shou did not go south with Jiang Wei, he went north alone and returned to Yang'an Pass.

In general, Chen Shou was disappointed by this trip, he did not persuade Jiang Wei and Liu Yin to carry out a north-south joint attack, trapping Zhong Hui near Chengdu. After Jiang Wei marched into the Sword Pavilion, he instead gave Zhong Hui a chance to escape, but Zhong Hui successfully counterattacked and captured Langzhong Xuanhan, which led to the failure of Liu Yin's plan.

In Liu Yin's plan, it is to force Zhonghui's army to go north from the Sword Pavilion to attack Yang'an Pass, as long as Liu Yin holds Yang'an Pass to the death, it is equivalent to trapping Zhonghui's army in the Baishui Canyon where Chen Shou is walking at this moment.

"This is a great place to trap enemies!" Chen Shou looked at the Baishui Gorge, and couldn't help but feel infinite emotion, the so-called opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again, and a wonderful strategy to break the enemy was miscarried.

After arriving at Yang'an Pass, Chen Shou went straight to see Liu Yin.

Liu Yin was in Yang'an Pass, but his heart was in Shuzhong, and before Chen Shou came back, Liu Yin had already sent several groups of scouts to find out what was going on in Shuzhong, so Liu Yin basically knew what was happening in Shuzhong.

Jiang Wei's sudden dispatch of troops to attack the Sword Pavilion did make Liu Yin feel a little inexplicable, but he quickly understood the profound meaning contained in this, this is the rhythm of Jiang Wei jumping out to fight for merit.

Frankly speaking, from beginning to end, Liu Yin did not have the meaning of competing for strengths and weaknesses, he hated the mutual tilting above the court, and the reason why Shu Han was weakened was not because the endless and endless internal friction hollowed out the national strength of Shu State, which gave Wei a chance to take advantage of.

Since he raised the Northern Expedition, he has never had any thoughts of being proud of his achievements. The Shuhan Building will fall. What Liu Yin thought. It is how to do your best to turn the tide and fight a bloody way. But there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers, and there is no intention to plant willows but willows are shady, I am afraid that even Liu Yin himself never thought that the road of the Northern Expedition would be so smooth, all the way to the sky, even the cities of Guanzhong in the west of Kelong, but also back to Hanzhong. Relieved the siege of Hanle Gold, and completely annihilated the people of Wei and Hanzhong, who guarded Li Fu's department.

Liu Yin's next plan is very simple, that is, to prepare to unite with Jiang Wei to carry out a major annihilation operation against the Zhonghui army that invaded Shu, and by the way, clean up the Lu Resistance Department and restore the Jiangshan Sheji of Shu Han.

Dealing with Lu Kang is only a long-term goal, after all, Lu Kang still has a strong water transportation capability, which can be attacked and defended when advancing, and there is no need to worry about the logistics supply of grain and grass. But the bell will be different. Blocking the grain transportation channel in Hanzhong, Zhonghui's army was already in a desperate situation. Even if Zhong Hui still has some food and grass on hand, it will definitely not last too long, and the army without food is scattered, even if the Shu army does not attack, Zhong Hui's defeat is only a matter of time.

But Jiang Wei's excessive force this time gave Zhong Hui an opportunity, the Sword Pavilion has no strategic value for Zhong Hui, and it can't get through the Hanzhong Dao, even if it is to keep the Sword Pavilion, it is meaningless, although Zhong Hui has long regarded the Sword Pavilion as an outcast, luring Jiang Wei to lead his troops to attack with all his might, but at this moment, Zhong Hui suddenly turned the spearhead and took Langzhong.

On the surface, it seems that this exchange did not suffer a loss, and the Shu army exchanged the land of one county for the territory of four counties in the west, which is indeed a victory worthy of great celebration. But Liu Yin knew that Jiang Wei had missed the best opportunity to eliminate Zhonghui, and although he regained his dominant position in the battle of Shuzhong, the battle situation in Shuzhong was indefinitely delayed.

After Chen Shou came back, he told Liu Yin about his trip to Langzhong very "regretfully", Liu Yin was very speechless, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything, some things, after all, are beyond his control.

Yang'an Guan's carefully arranged defense has lost its value, and the pattern of Shuzhong has evolved dramatically during this period of time, and the dust has gradually settled, it is foreseeable that the war in Shuzhong will not calm down because of this evolution, after the division and combination of various forces, the situation in Shuzhong is still an endless situation, and in a short period of time, it is not easy to completely solve the problem in Shuzhong.

When Liu Yin went to see Deng Ai, he obviously saw a trace of disappointment in Deng Ai's eyes, Liu Yin knew that Deng Ai could spare no effort to help himself, that is, he pinned the hope of revenge on him, this time was originally the best opportunity, but it came to naught in Jiang Wei's thoughts, and it was no wonder that Deng Ai was a little depressed.

Liu Yin also had to tell him that there is always an opportunity, and now the general trend of the world has changed fundamentally, and the situation of Wei Qiang and Shu is weak has changed imperceptibly, Zhong Hui escaped by luck at this moment, but it does not mean that he will have such good luck in the future.

Deng Ai quickly regained his calm, originally he thought that revenge would be a long-term and arduous task, and even little hope, but Liu Yin's performance was so brilliant that the flame of hope in Deng Ai's heart burned more and more fiercely.

The conversation between the two lasted for a long time, and when he left, Deng Ai said meaningfully: "The lord is still very young, and the next road is still very long. ”

Liu Yin was speechless, bowed, and turned to leave.

Deng Ai is right, Liu Yin is really young, this young is not just young in age, the so-called world is hot and cold, people's hearts are sinister, Liu Yin has a lot to learn, the higher the status, the greater the merit, the more suspicion he will face, this time Jiang Wei has taught Liu Yin a profound lesson.

People in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, people in the court, also involuntarily, Liu Yin had no intention of getting involved in the whirlpool of power struggle, but the world is unpredictable, and sometimes it is really involuntary.

Liu Yin personally drafted a letter, which was the first letter he had submitted to the imperial court since the Northern Expedition in August last year. Now that the entire Chenghan Avenue has been opened, and the road leading to Nanzhong is also unimpeded, it is time to report to the rear lord Liu Chan.

Liu Yin played all the things in detail in the past year or so, but for the last battle, he was a brush-by-stroke, vague and vague, right and wrong, at ease in the hearts of the people, and there was no need to say anything more.

After writing the chapter, Liu Yin found that the candle on the case had burned out, and he actually wrote it all night, he sighed sighingly, sorted out the chapter, stepped on the morning light, went out of the house, handed the chapter to the messenger, and watched the horse leave.

It will be a new day, and it will be tomorrow across the mountains, and the world is vast. (To be continued.) )
