Chapter 82: Jiang Wei's reply
When the sky was slightly bright, Liu Yin had just returned to the Taoist temple from Jigukou, and before he had time to catch his breath, the people below came in to report, saying that Hu Ji, the governor of Hanzhong, had been invited.
Liu Yin's heart moved, didn't Jiang Wei have a reply? Jiang Wei's decision was very important, and could even determine the survival of Hanzhong and its Shu Han regime, Liu Yin was very eager to know the result, and he didn't care about eating at the moment, so he stepped out of the gate of the Taoist temple in three steps and two steps, and went straight to the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion.
Hu Xia had already been ordered to greet Liu Yin at the door of the Governor's Mansion, and when he saw Liu Yin coming, he immediately stepped forward to personally hold the reins for Liu Yin, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Youcheng, the Governor of my family has been waiting in the lobby in the morning." ”
Liu Yin has already seen this Hu Xia's face, and he is a typical villain, but Liu Yin didn't have the heart to pay attention to him, so he came to see Hu Ji in the middle hall.
Hu Ji was pacing alone with his hands behind his back in the middle hall at this time, his expression was solemn, he couldn't see whether he was sad or happy, and when he saw Liu Yin coming in, he bowed his hand and said, "Liu Youcheng is here, please take a seat." ”
Liu Yin said: "Hu Dudu is urgently called, but there is a reply from the general's side?" ”
Hu Ji nodded, with a solemn face, picked up the letter on the case and handed it to Liu Yin.
Liu Yin noticed Hu Ji's expression, and vaguely felt that this reply was unusual, and when he took it, Liu Yin couldn't help frowning. In the letter, Jiang Wei only verbally reprimanded, and did not care too much about the loss of the defense map of the Hanzhong Governor's Office, nor did he give Hu Ji any substantive punishment, and Jiang Wei replied very directly to Hu Ji's question of whether to adjust the defense of Hanzhong, and everything was carried out according to the original plan. Jiang Wei pointed out that the defense system of Hanzhong has already taken shape, and even if the Wei army has mastered the situation of Hanzhong's defense, it can completely cope with it with Hanzhong's defense strength, and it must not be confused because of the loss of the defense map. At the same time, Jiang Wei ordered Hu Ji to move out of Nanzheng within three days and move the Hanzhong Governor's Mansion to Hanshou.
Liu Yin was stunned, originally Liu Yin still had a trace of illusion about Jiang Wei, thinking that Jiang Wei would attach great importance to the theft of the Hanzhong defense map, and at least fine-tune the defense system of the entire Hanzhong.
However, Jiang Wei's reply completely shattered Liu Yin's illusions, Jiang Wei still stubbornly held his own opinion, refused to make the slightest correction to the Hanzhong defense system, and ordered Hu Ji to move away from Nanzheng as soon as possible to complete the final deployment of the defense plan.
Jiang Wei really has so much confidence in his plan to gather troops in the valley?
Liu Yin, who is familiar with this period of history, feels sad and helpless, it is really not easy to change history, he is just a small butterfly, even if he flapps his wings hard, he may not be able to set off much wind and waves to turn things around. The crisis is just around the corner, but Liu Yin doesn't know how to save it, maybe Shu Han has really reached the point of hopelessness?
"Liu Youcheng, it's a pity, this is the general's decision, and it's also the final decision." Hu Ji was very helpless.
In all fairness, Hu Ji agreed with Liu Yin's suggestion to adjust the defense deployment in Hanzhong, and it was undoubtedly a very risky act to adhere to the inherent defense system when the enemy had fully mastered the defense system in Hanzhong, but Hu Ji, as the governor of Hanzhong, only had the power to execute and not the decision-making power, and Jiang Wei was very fortunate that he did not pursue him for losing the defense map of Hanzhong.
From this point of view, Hu Ji is still grateful for Jiang Wei's tolerance, this is not the first time Hu Ji has made a mistake, in the nineteenth year of Yanxi, Jiang Wei made a northern expedition to the Central Plains, and Hu Ji made an appointment to meet in Shangqi, but Hu Ji missed the appointment for some reason, resulting in Jiang Wei being defeated by Deng Ai in Duangu, the stars were scattered, and there were many dead. This battle also became one of the few fiascos since Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition, after returning to the dynasty, Jiang Wei followed the old story of Marquis Wu, and degraded himself to a general, which was regarded as calming down the criticism of the government and the opposition. But Hu Ji was not implicated in this matter, which means that Jiang Wei took responsibility for it alone, and Hu Ji has always been grateful.
Jiang Wei's order is very clear, and Hu Ji has no reason to disobey the order, so even if he thinks that Liu Yin's suggestion is very reasonable, he can only say sorry.
Liu Yin smiled bitterly and sighed: "Hanzhong is in danger! ”
Hu Ji was silent for a moment and said: "Liu Youcheng, this governor will leave Nanzheng within three days and move to Hanshou under the order of the general, so the matter of intercepting and investigating the details of Wei can only be asked to Liu Youcheng." ”
Liu Yin also nodded gloomily and said, "Governor Hu, please rest assured, this is a matter of the next, and you should do your best." It's just that with all due respect, if Hanzhong's defense is not changed for a day, Hanzhong will be in danger of survival. ”
Hu Ji sighed and said, "Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven." ”
At this point, Liu Yin also understood that there was no room for recovery, and there was no point in staying in the Governor's Mansion, so he gave his leave.
Hu Ji waved his hand, said to Liu Yin for a while, and ordered the Chinese army to summon the people under the hall to come in.
Not long after, a general with armor all over his body came up, with a black and purple face and thick eyebrows, and bowed to Hu Ji.
Hu Ji introduced to Liu Yin and said: "This is the guerrilla captain Lu Xun, this governor evacuated Hanzhong this time, in addition to Wang She guarding Lecheng, Jiang Bin guarding Hancheng, and Fu Yi guarding Yang'an, there are still four guerrilla armies, each with more than 1,000 people, led by four guerrilla captains, and the area around Nanzheng is guarded by Lu Xiaowei, when Liu Youcheng is investigating Wei Guo's detailed work, if there is not enough manpower, you can recruit Lu Xiaowei's men and horses to assist. ”
turned around and said to Lu Xun: "Captain Lu, this governor orders you to fully assist Liu Youcheng in the investigation and arrest of traitors, and at any time to listen to Liu Youcheng's dispatch, there must be no mistakes." ”
Lu Xun immediately bowed down and said, "The last general will obey the orders of the governor. ”
Liu Yin heard that this person was Lu Xun, and couldn't help but secretly look at it, among the generals in Hanzhong, although Lu Xun's status is not high, but he is a rare general, when Zhong Hui attacked Hanzhong in history, Lu Xun fought with him in Nanzheng, and almost killed Zhong Hui, who lost his front hoof, and almost rewrote history.
"Thank you, Hududu." Liu Yin thanked Hu Ji.
Hu Ji waved his hand very lonely and said: "It's all for the revival of the Han Dynasty, why should Liu Youcheng say thank you?" Say goodbye, meet on a different day, Hu Mou will set up a banquet with wine, and then talk to Liu Youcheng about wine. ”
Liu Yin secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, the ghost knew if they had a chance to meet again, the wind and rain were coming, the building was about to fall, not only Hanzhong, but the entire Shu Han regime was about to enter the storm, waiting for them, maybe only an unknown fate.
