Chapter 599: Find a different way

But Luo Xian also knows that it is not easy to recapture Yong'an, how many years he has been the governor of Yong'an, and he still doesn't know how strong Yong'an is, even if he gathers a large number of rabble, it is almost impossible to take Yong'an without making mistakes in the defense of the Wu people.

The reason why Luo Xian stayed in Xiling Gorge was because he was unwilling, he didn't have the opportunity to return to Shu, but when he thought of the loss of Yong'an, it was a kind of pain, and the haze in his heart lingered for a long time, and he always hoped that one day, he would regain the lost Yong'an with his hands.

Of course, Liu Yin can understand Luo Xian's mood, but it would be a great waste to let a famous general in Shu be a flowing river bandit and water thief on the Yangtze River.

"General Luo Wen Taowu is strategic, with all his skills, wouldn't it be wrong to stay in Xiling Gorge, it's better to go back to Guanzhong with me, there is a stage that really belongs to you."

"Guanzhong?" Luo Xian was stunned for a moment, the past few years of water bandit career, Luo Xian almost isolated from the world, even from the mouths of past merchants, at most can only learn some about Jingzhou and Shuzhong, Guanzhong is indeed out of reach for Luo Xian, he can't know the territory of Shu Han, and now it has expanded to the land of Yongliang.

Liu Yin smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that General Luo is trapped here, and he doesn't know the changes in the world. Oh, by the way, Ling Lang Luo is also under a certain account, and is now the general of the Yong'an camp, commanding 10,000 people. ”

This time it was really Luo Xian's turn to be dumbfounded. He knows a little about the situation in Shuzhong. Now the three kingdoms of Shu, Wei and Wu are in a melee. The Shu Han court was also forced to move to Nanzhong, but the entire Shu Han was in a state of collapse, he really didn't expect Liu Yin to send troops to capture the land of Yongliang, which was impossible to do in the heyday of Shu Han, if it wasn't for Liu Yin himself, Luo Xian would never believe that this was true.

"Then Liu Gongzi is now ......"

Zhang Le said complacently: "General Luo, my eldest brother is now a hussar general, a Lu Shang scholar, and the governor of Yongliang and the military. ”

Luo Xian was taken aback, and immediately bowed his hand and said, "The last general has seen the general. Luo Xian previously served as the governor of Padang Taishou and Yong'an. is many levels lower than Liu Yin, and according to the rules of officialdom, he immediately bowed to the officials.

Liu Yin held his hands together, and said with a smile: "General Luo is a famous general in the world, stay here, really Qu Cai, how about it, are you willing to go back to Guanzhong with me, crusade against thieves, and restore the Han Dynasty?" ”

Luo Xian said respectfully: "An dare not obey orders." ”

Luo Xian is naturally eager to make contributions. But he was reluctant to return to Shu, the main reason was the loss of Yong'an. Afraid that the court will be held accountable, the most important thing is that Luo Xian feels guilty, because of his negligence, which led to the loss of Yong'an, he has no shame to face the father and elder in Shuzhong, at this time Liu Yin told him that he has another opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Luo Xian is naturally yearning.

Subsequently, Luo Xian dismissed the water thieves and set off with Liu Yin. Although there are not a few water thieves active in the waterways of the Yangtze River, they can also have a deal with Wu Jun with their geographical advantages, but after all, the water thieves are a group of rabble, and Liu Yin did not expect to be able to break through the pass of Yong'an with water thieves, and if he wants to return to Shu, he has to sneak, so Liu Yin did not consider absorbing this water thief at all, and Luo Xian also understood what Liu Yin meant.

"I wonder what the general wants to do?" After leaving, Luo Xian asked.

Liu Yin knew that Luo Xian had served in Yong'an for many years and was very familiar with the terrain and roads of Badong, so he said: "If you want to return to Shuzhong, does General Luo have a good way?" ”

Luo Xian's expression became solemn, and he shook his head lightly and said: "If you want to return to Shuzhong, Yong'an is the only choke point, and there is no other way to do it." Since the Wu people occupied Yong'an, they have been strictly guarded, and it is not easy to pass through Yong'an. ”

The importance of Yong'an is naturally self-evident, guarding the gateway of Badong, if you want to enter Yizhou, you have to pass Yong'an, the Wu people naturally regard Yong'an's defense as the top priority, and it is indeed not easy to pass Yong'an under the condition that the Wu army is extremely well guarded.

Liu Yin couldn't help frowning, choosing to enter Shu from Yong'an, which was also Liu Yin's choice that he couldn't force himself, but when he walked to Xiling Gorge, Liu Yin found that the difficulty of Yong'an Fortress was not easier than that of Tongguan Road and Wuguan Road.

Luo Xian pondered for a long time, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Isn't the general going to return to Guanzhong, so why do you need to go to Yong'an." ”

Liu Yin's eyes lit up and said, "General Luo, could it be that there is another way?" ”

Luo Xian said: "This goes to Shuzhong, except for Yong'an, there is nothing else, but if the general goes to Guanzhong Hanzhong, there is another way, from Yidu to the north, you can go straight to Shangyong, and it is not far from Hanzhong." ”

Liu Yin's expression darkened, shook his head and said: "General Luo doesn't know, at this moment, he is wanted by the Wei people, and all places in Shangyong are wanted. ”

Luo Xian said: "It's okay, the road pointed out by the last general, although it is adjacent to Shangyong, but it is not in Shangyong, but this road is high and dangerous, bumpy and difficult, and inaccessible, I don't know if the general can do it?" ”

Liu Yin was happy on his face, no matter how difficult the road is, it will not be more difficult than the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, the five snow-capped mountains and the vast grasslands have all been conquered at Liu Yin's feet.

The road that Luo Xian refers to, in fact, is to look northwest along Daba Mountain, from Yidu to the north, when it is close to Shangyong, and then turn to the west, pass through the Micang Mountain between the mountains and mountains, you can go straight to Hanzhong, one of the roads coincides with the famous lychee road in later generations, in the Tang Dynasty, in order to please Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong also built a "high-speed road", the stagecoach can go straight from Sichuan to Chang'an in three days, and close the fresh lychee to Yang Guifei, which can be called a miracle in the history of ancient transportation. It's just that now this road is rarely patronized by birds and beasts, and it is full of thorns and bumpy and difficult to walk.

Of course, there is undoubtedly a benefit, even if there is no crowd, there will be no obstacles, and the problem of being wanted that has plagued Liu Yin for a long time can be regarded as solved.

After choosing a route, Liu Yin and his entourage abandoned the ship and went ashore in Yidu and embarked on the road back to the north. (To be continued.) )
