The sword pavilion is thirty miles northeast of Hande County, the break of the big and small sword mountains, the cliffs on both sides, the peaks are straight like swords, and the confrontation is like a door, so it is called the sword gate. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the defensive position of the Sword Pavilion was moved forward, that is, it was fifty miles away from the northeast of the Sword Pavilion, during the Shu Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang took Hande County to have "the road from the big sword to the small sword pass for thirty miles, and the mountains were extremely dangerous", in this "chiseled stone overhead for the Feiliang Pavilion Road, to pass the brigade". In the cliff of Dajian Mountain, the two cliffs are interrupted, leaning on the cliff and building stones as the gate, placing the cabinet captain, setting up a garrison, and becoming a military key pass.

The Sword Pavilion Pass Mountain is sinister, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is known as the danger of the sword gate in the world of "a husband is angry at the pass, and a million can not be sided". One husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open, the description may be a bit exaggerated, but the danger of the Sword Pavilion is no one can doubt, and the Sword Pavilion is the only passage from Hanzhong to Chengdu, and guarding the Sword Pavilion is equivalent to guarding the north gate of Chengdu.

After Jiang Wei retreated to the Sword Pavilion, he set up camp in the dangerous place of Guanshan, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Zhonghui Deng Ai gathered in front of the pass, and attacked in turn day and night, but the Sword Pavilion was majestic and dangerous, and it could not be shaken at all.

The battle line of Wei and Shu is stable on the front line of Daba Mountain, since the Wei army invaded Shu in August, a month's time, Shu lost its division and lost land, even lost Hanzhong, Yinping, Wudu three counties, can be called the biggest defeat of Shu Han since the founding of the country, especially Hanzhong, since the Eastern Han Dynasty Jian'an 24 years Liu Bei defeated Cao Cao to seize Hanzhong, a full 44 years Hanzhong has not been touched by Cao Wei's forces, but today Hanzhong has been lost. Losing the base of Hanzhong, Shu Han no longer had the opportunity to go north to the Central Plains, and the entire Bashu was facing the danger of overturning.

All the spearheads were pointed at Jiang Wei, and in the DPRK and China, the voices against Jiang Wei were higher and higher, and Zhuge Zhan, Dong Ju, Qian Zhou and other ministers of the DPRK and China jointly played a joint petition to demand the removal of Jiang Wei.

Someone must be responsible for the loss of Hanzhong, Yinping, and Wudu! And Jiang Wei, as a general, has been in the north, and the loss of the Hanzhong counties, Jiang Wei has an unshirkable responsibility!

Huang Hao also made a suggestion to Liu Chan again, proposing that the right general Yan Yu take over the position of General Jiang Wei and preside over the defense of the Sword Pavilion.

Liu Chan is indeed very big-headed, don't look at Liu Chan's indulgence in sexuality, he seems to be mediocre and incompetent, but in major matters, he is not confused. It is true that Jiang Wei, as a general, is mainly responsible for the loss of Hanzhong, but Liu Chan knows better that in terms of ability, none of the generals in the DPRK can compare to Jiang Wei. Liu Chan has never fought, it does not mean that he has not read the book of war, the art of war is often cloudy, and changing generals in battle is a taboo for soldiers.

Therefore, although the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee jointly impeached Jiang Wei, Liu Chan ignored it and still maintained the pattern of Jiang Wei commanding the army. Hanzhong is lost, for Liu Chan, if it is lost, it will be lost, as long as he can defend the Sword Pavilion, keep the Wei soldiers out of the Jianmen Pass, and ensure the safety of Xishu, Liu Chan has nothing else to ask for.

Since it was Liu Chan's final decision, the ministers had nothing to say, and the deacons and eunuchs shouted loudly: "There is a morning music, and there is nothing to retreat." ”

Just when everyone was about to get up and retreat, a person with a wat stepped forward and bowed: "The minister has a play." ”

Everyone regarded it as Lieutenant Liu Yin. Liu Yin is an official of more than 2,000 stones, and in this court, there are many people with higher rank than him, and Liu Yin can only accompany the last seat. Listening to the courtiers' joint impeachment of Jiang Wei, Liu Yin couldn't help but sigh secretly, don't look at Jiang Wei leading thousands of troops and horses, and he is majestic on the battlefield, but in this court, the popularity is really bad, the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and the drum is beaten by thousands of people.

Liu Yin was faintly worried, although he thought that Jiang Wei had a fatal flaw in the defense of Hanzhong, but Liu Yin never denied that Jiang Wei was the best commander of Shu after Zhuge Liang, if other generals were allowed to replace Jiang Wei's position, he was afraid that the Shu Kingdom would die faster.

Fortunately, Liu Chan's attitude was very firm at the moment, and he was not shaken by the joint performance of the ministers, maybe Liu Chan also thought that Jiang Wei could save the country at this time.

The loss of Hanzhong has long been expected by Liu Yin, not only the process of previous history, but also Jiang Wei's Hanzhong defense system, Hanzhong must not be able to hold it. Zhong Hui has fully grasped the details of Hanzhong's defense, and in this case, Jiang Wei stubbornly refused to change the formation, and he had already buried the shadow of failure.

Jiang Wei's biggest problem is that he is too big and too confident, thinking that the defense of Hanzhong is impregnable, and the defense system of the three cities of Han, Le, and Yang'an is completely invulnerable, but in fact, no matter how strong the city is, it is impossible to be without flaws, and the loss of Yang'an Pass has made the entire defense system of Hanzhong collapse.

What made Liu Yin feel relieved was that Fu Yan did not die in the battle of Yang'an Pass but retreated, what he had been worried about did not happen in the end, and getting this news in a bunch of terrible news finally made Liu Yin secretly relieved.

Maybe it was his kind reminder at that time that helped Fu Yan escape, or maybe it was God who favored this loyal person, in short, Fu Yan was safe and sound, which made Liu Yin feel a lot more at ease. The traverser is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to turn the world upside down when he crosses, but Liu Yin always tries to change something, Hanzhong is lost as always, but at least Fu Yan's life is still preserved, which gives Liu Yin great confidence that history can be changed.

Liu Yin also tried to change the historical fate of the loss of Hanzhong, but the theft of the Hanzhong defense map and Jiang Wei's refusal to change the decision of the Hanzhong defense system, Liu Yin knew that the loss of Hanzhong was irretrievable.

Even if Fu Yi recognized Jiang Shu earlier, even if Jiang Wei was able to reinforce Yang'an Pass earlier, he could not change the fate of the loss of Hanzhong, Liu Yin even felt that the loss of Yang'an Pass gave the Shu army a chance in an objective sense, a chance to retreat calmly. If Yang'an Pass had not been lost, Jiang Wei would not have been able to retreat to the Sword Pavilion but to reinforce Yang'an Pass, but giving up Yuzhong would mean the loss of the two counties of Yinping Wudu, Yinping Wudu was behind Yang'an Pass, Zhong Hui and Deng Ai could join forces under Yang'an Pass, and with the limited strength of the Shu army, it would be difficult to resist the attack of the Wei army.

What's more, Deng Ai can completely ignore Yang'an Pass, and directly lead the army to attack the Sword Pavilion through Baishui, once the Sword Pavilion is lost, the entire Xichuan will be exposed to the iron hooves of the Wei army, Deng Ai does not have to take the risk to take the Yinping Trail at all, and he can take Chengdu directly from the avenue.

From this point of view, it is undoubtedly the wisest to retreat to the Sword Pavilion.
