Chapter 975: Great Revenge Is Hard to Avenge
readx;?“ Wen Xuan, this is the news that has just come from Jingzhou. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Fu Yan handed over a document that had just been delivered, and Liu Yin was looking at the map intently at the moment.
Liu Yin sighed lightly and opened it casually, his thoughts were still on the battlefield of the Battle of Pingyang.
Just after reading a few lines, a bright color flashed in Liu Yin's eyes, and he quickly finished reading the document and slammed his fist on the table.
"Well done!" Liu Yin roared, and his excitement was beyond words.
Unexpectedly, when the battle of Jiji was stalemate, there was good news from Jingzhou, and the general Jiang Wei led the army east out of Hanzhong, taking the land of the four counties of Shangyong in Xiangyang, and opening up the second front of Shu against Jin.
Taking advantage of the battle between Yanghu and Zhonghui, Jiang Wei raised troops to march eastward, forced down Zhonghui, and won the four counties of Jingzhou in one fell swoop.
Jiang Wei was very successful in grasping the timing of this battle, the terrain of the three counties of Shangyong was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if under normal circumstances, Jiang Wei led 80,000 horses, it was difficult to easily capture these three counties, but it was precisely because of the Yanghu army to conquer Zhonghui, Zhonghui in order to protect Xiangyang not to lose, evacuated the garrison of the three counties of Shangyong, so that Jiang Wei did not encounter any resistance when he advanced eastward.
I'm afraid that even Yanghu didn't expect that this time he actually made a wedding dress for Jiang Wei, if it weren't for Zhong being forced to the point of cornering, I'm afraid he would not have surrendered to Shu no matter what.
Temporary power change, good opportunity, the veteran Jiang Wei in this round of fighting, seized the first move, which played a vital role in revitalizing the overall situation, but also to the declining Sima Jin Dynasty a heavy blow, it is foreseeable that the situation in the world will change completely with the change of the Battle of Xiangyang, the balance of victory is tilted towards the Shu Han Dynasty, and it is irreversible.
According to the tradition of the Han Dynasty, if it is not Liu Buwang, no matter how successful the courtier with a foreign surname is not able to be awarded the title of prince - of course, Cao Cao is an exception - Zhong will be named the Marquis of Xincheng by the later lord, the general of Zhenxi, and still command the people of the headquarters - General Zhenxi is the official of Zhonghui in the Wei and Jin dynasties, from the general Zhenxi of Wei and Jin to the self-proclaimed king of Wei Xing and then to the general of Zhenxi of Shu Han, it seems that he has come full circle and turned back, and he has to sigh the vicissitudes of the world.
Previously, he was still the old enemy of the two armies against each other, and then he was a subordinate who stood side by side with the ministers in the same hall, behind this great joy, Liu Yin saw a trace of hidden worry.
Zhonghui surrendered, it was not a big deal, the situation was poor and surrendered, it was also common in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Quan surrendered to Wei, Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu, and Dongwu surrendered to Jin, and there are countless people.
But what is interesting is the four words of the old department, maybe this is the additional condition when Zhong Hui surrenders, Jiang Wei has to accept this condition for the sake of the overall situation. Maybe this is nothing in the eyes of ordinary people, but it makes Liu Yin smell a very bad smell.
What kind of person is Zhong Hui, a master of intrigue and trickery, with great ambitions and deep city government, if he does not control the military power in Shu, there is nothing to worry about, after all, Zhong Hui has no foundation in the Shu Han Dynasty and cannot set off any storms.
But if he is allowed to hold the power of the army, it will be different, it is equivalent to planting a time bomb in the Shu Han Dynasty, you never know when he will detonate, but his existence is always a threat.
In addition, what made Liu Yin feel sorry was Deng Ai, when Deng Ai surrendered, there was a condition that he wanted to kill Zhong Hui to take revenge, and Liu Yin promised him at the beginning. Ten years of time and command, Deng Ai's great revenge has never had a chance to revenge, but Liu Yin has never forgotten, Liu Yin believes that as long as Zhong Hui is still in the world, there will always be a chance for revenge.
But now that Zhong Hui has surrendered to Shu Han and become the Marquis of Xincheng and the general of Zhennan of Shu Han, he is a minister in the same palace as Liu Yin, and if he wants to take revenge, there is no chance.
Liu Yin thought about it and decided to tell Deng Ai about it.
When Deng Ai surrendered, it was already sixty-six, ten years passed in a hurry, Deng Ai was already an old man, long past the age of antiquity, in view of Deng Ai's age, Liu Yin had suggested that he should retire in Guanzhong, not have to sleep in the army, but Deng Ai has always insisted on following the army, since crossing the Yellow River eastward, in the most difficult period of the Shu army, Deng Ai has also been following Liu Yin's Chinese army action, during which he gave advice to Liu Yin and fulfilled the duties of a staff member.
In fact, Liu Yin understands that what Deng Ai can't let go of is a grudge in his heart, Zhong will hurt him deeply, which makes Deng Ai feel painful, if he can't see Zhong Hui ambushed with his own eyes, Deng Ai is afraid that he won't be able to turn a blind eye until death.
Liu Yin did feel a little guilty, after Deng Ai surrendered, he became his own staff member invisibly, tried his best to assist himself, gave advice, strategized, and offered a lot of good ideas, especially when he captured Guanlong, Deng Ai used his wisdom and connections to make great contributions to Liu Yin's smooth capture of Yongliang Land.
And Deng Ai's only wish, but has not been able to help him come true, if in the past, Liu Yin can still deceive himself, anyway, Zhong will be the enemy of Shu Han, there will always be a chance to take revenge in the future.
The reason why Deng Ai stayed in the army and refused to return to Guanzhong to retire was that he still couldn't let go of this grudge, hoping that one day, he would be able to do it.
As time passed year by year, the hope became more and more slim, and now the news from Jingzhou has completely broken this thought.
Liu Yin told Deng Ai about Zhonghui in a slightly guilty voice, Deng Ai didn't get angry or make a sound, just sat there silently, and didn't move his body for a long time.
From his face, you can see the incomparable loneliness and loneliness, and between his eyebrows, there is a deep melancholy and endless desolation.
"Mr. Ai, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to be the end, there may have been a glimmer of hope before, but now it seems that the chance is slim." Liu Yin said apologetically.
Deng Ai sighed softly and said slowly: "It's been ten years, time may make people forget everything, maybe the old man is too persistent, and he can't help himself in this hatred." In this way, it is actually good...... I'm sorry, but I want to be quiet......"
Liu Yin understood Deng Ai's mood at this moment, so he didn't want to bother anymore, so he said goodbye and withdrew. (To be continued.) )
