Zhang Xi arrived at the Baochuan Road and sent someone to notify Chen Dao, and then Chen Zhi opened the central gate and took a group of civil and military generals under his command to greet him.

It's not that Chen Zhi looks down on Zhang Xi or is playing prestige, the rules in the military in this era are like this.

The training and organization of the non-commissioned officers in these years were not high, so the most taboo thing was that there were different voices in the army.

There can only be one commander in the army, everyone must listen to the commander, even though Zhang Xi is the secretary of the military department, but in this place at the Baochuan crossing, all the soldiers should listen to Chen Zhi's command, and Zhang Xi has no right to interfere.

Therefore, according to the rules of this era, even though Zhang Xi is a central official and has a higher official position than Chen Zhi, if Zhang Xi wants to enter the Baochuan Road barracks, even if he is standing at the gate of the barracks, he must first report to Chen Dao, and only after getting Chen Dao's permission can he enter the barracks.

This is a rule that has been handed down since Zhou Yafu ruled the army and the Xiliu Battalion. Although Zhou Yafu's fate was not good, this rule was approved by Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, and it has been used in the army.

Of course, if Liu Bei stood at the gate of the camp, it would definitely not be Zhang Xi's treatment, and Chen Zhi was not Tie Hanhan.

But unfortunately, Zhang Xi is not Liu Bei, and he is not qualified to let Chen Zhi break this convention.

Zhang Xi first sent someone to report to show his respect for Chen Zhi, and then Chen Zhi led his subordinates to open the camp gate to greet him, showing his respect for Zhang Xi.

The two of them greeted each other, and then entered the barracks together and came to Chen Dao's Zhongjun tent.

When they arrived in the Chinese military tent, Zhang Xi and Chen Zhi didn't have to do that set of so-called etiquette, and they could relax with each other.

Zhang Xi didn't say anything polite to Chen, and asked straight to the point, "Old general, how is the situation at the Bao Chuan crossing?!" ”

Chen Zhi just smiled and said, "Cao Ren is dead, Cao Zhen Xiao'er is not afraid, although he has attacked several times, he has not gained an inch of merit, not to mention that now the defense of the slope road, I also saw it when I came to Yuan Chang, they are all stone villages, and Cao Junyan can easily break through?!" ”

As soon as Zhang Xi heard it, since Chen Zhi took the initiative to mention this matter, Zhang Xi had to take the opportunity to ask.

"The brook did see it with his own eyes. It's just a general, why do you want to build a stone village?! Zhang Xi asked puzzledly, "Even though the stone village is strong, but the stone material is rare, why is it so time-consuming and laborious?!" ”

Although there are mountains in your vicinity, what kind of mountains are the mountains in your vicinity, and there don't seem to be many mountains that are rocky mountains, right?!

And even if there is a stone mountain nearby, the mining efficiency of these years, in two years, how did you mine so many stones to build a stone village?!

At last. Is it really necessary to repair the stone village?! Cao Jun doesn't have planes and tanks, so they can't even have the most basic black powder, right?!

Zhang Xi really didn't understand why Chen Zhi wanted to build the stone village, and he also transferred all the cement that was originally used to repair the ramp.

As for Chen Dao, he did not answer Zhang Xi's question immediately, but turned around and ordered the guards to call someone.

Zhang Xi watched with curiosity, until a person dressed as a scribe entered the Zhongjun tent, first saluted Chen Zhi, then smiled and nodded at Zhang Xi, and then stood on Chen Zhi's side.

Chen took the initiative to stand up at this time and said to Zhang Xi, "Come, Yuan Chang, I will introduce you to a great talent, who is from Shu County, surnamed Liu, whose name is hidden, and whose name is Xiuran, and who is now joining the army in our army."

Well. Well?!

Yanagi Hide?!

Golden City Yanagi Hide?!

With only more than 1,000 people sticking to the Golden City, Zhong Hui led an army of 200,000 to besiege for several months, and finally forced Zhong Hui to have no choice but to bypass Liu Yin, the Golden Siege Governor who went south of the Golden City?!

What a great bull.

Zhang Xi hurriedly stood up, saluted and greeted Liu Yin, and then invited Liu Yin to sit down and talk.

At this time, Liu Yin is actually about the same age as Zhang Xi, both of them are in their thirties, but the gap between Liu Yin and Zhang Xi's identities is huge.

This is actually quite abnormal.

Although Zhang Xi said that he took advantage of it, he took refuge in Liu Bei relatively early, and Uncle Liu Huang had already surrendered when Xinye lamented that he had meat on his thighs. But Zhang Xi is from a poor family.

In these years, people from poor families can't compare to the promotion speed of the wealthy families.

But Liu Yin is different.

Liu Yin is a native of Chengdu, and the Liu family is also a big family in Chengdu, although it is not as large as the Li family, but it is not a small family in Chengdu, and it belongs to the kind of family that has the right to speak.

Liu Yin is a standard child of a family.

When he first became an adult, he was already as famous as Du Zhen, Liu Shen and others, and Du Zhen was one of the Taichang of Ji Han Jiuqing later, and even lived to the Jin Dynasty, and when Sima Yan was in power, he also served as the governor of Liangzhou and Yizhou.

As for Liu Shen, he was Liu Yin's brother, who was later recruited by Zhuge Liang as an official, and when he arrived in the Jin Dynasty, he also governed Liangzhou and Yizhou as Du Zhen's subordinate officials.

Judging from the later official positions and prestige of these two, Liu Yin, who is also a child of a family, should not be difficult to get promoted.

But now, Zhang Xi is already a member of the highest decision-making level in Liu Bei's group, and Liu Yin. He can only join the army under Chen Zhi now.

Positions in the army can be large or small.

If you are like Lu Su in the Battle of Chibi, you are called to join the army, and you actually represent Sun Quan's will, then you join the army, even Zhou Yu, the commander, dare not ignore it easily.

But Liu Yin's joining the army is even Chen Zhi's adviser, and he has no real power in the army, and compared with Zhang Xi, the gap is huge.

Thinking of this, Liu Yin was actually a little unconvinced.

It's really not that he Liu Yin has no talent, it's purely limited by the family's strategy, he can only stay at home aggrieved.

This time I came to Hanzhong to join the army, but it was the last time Liu Bei's Northern Expedition and defeated Yongzhou and Liangzhou, there were some changes in the strategy within the family, so there was this opportunity.

Really, don't look at Liu Bei now that he is the emperor, but there are still a large number of people in the families in Shu who are not willing to fully cooperate with Liu Bei and are wary of Liu Bei.

Because Liu Bei's policy towards the family is a relatively neutral strategy, pulling a group and fighting a group.

Liu Bei doesn't like the family very much, but if the family can fully cooperate with him, he will not be stingy.

For example, Huang Quan, Yang Hong, Qin Mi and others are all in high positions.

But for the family that doesn't cooperate with Liu Bei, then Liu Bei won't get used to these people, just do what you have to do, we have "Shu Branch", and no one can escape.

Some families in Shu obviously don't like Liu Bei like this, they prefer Liu Zhang.

How good Liu Zhang is, no matter how much trouble the family makes, how they annex land, and how they squeeze the people, Liu Zhang doesn't care about it

This Liu Bei is a bedbug that crawled out of a pit, and that "Shu Branch" is not a thing, and he dares to treat the family and the mud legs equally. Do you know what it means to be in a family?!

The Liu family and the Du family belong to the group of people who are not very optimistic about Liu Bei, they feel that as far as Liu Bei is born, the pattern will definitely not be too big, and it will not become a big deal at all, and they will definitely be eliminated in the end.

Therefore, Liu Shen of the Liu family, Liu Yin, and Du Zhen of the Du family, the three young and famous talents, did not choose to go out to Liu Bei, but continued to "study with peace of mind" at home.

But what these families didn't expect was that Liu Bei not only replaced Liu Zhang, sat firmly on the foundation of Yizhou, but also drove away the Cao army entrenched in Hanzhong, won the duel with Cao Cao to the present, and even won most of Yongzhou and the entire Liangzhou in the Northern Expedition.

At this time, the attitude of the Liu family has begun to change the family, as long as they can survive and strive for the greatest interests of the family, it doesn't matter if they slap themselves in the face, let alone just adjust their strategies.

And the Liu family's adjustment strategy, Liu Yin was very sudden and was asked to go out.

But the problem is that there are already people in key positions in the current Ji Han court, and some of the remaining deputy positions or assistants, those arrogant families are not too embarrassed for a while.

In the end, Liu Yin was stronger, gave up the arrangement that the family gave him, and set his sights on Hanzhong.

Liu Yin knows that Liu Bei's ideal is to support the Han family, and now that Liu Bei is the emperor and inherits the Han family, the foundation of the entire Ji Han Dynasty is to support the Han Dynasty, so he will definitely not choose a corner of peace.

And in the last Northern Expedition, although Liu Bei paid a lot of price, he won after all. Then the next Northern Expedition will definitely not be too long.

Therefore, Liu Yin took the initiative to go to Hanzhong, first asked Huang Quan for a recommendation document, and then came to Chen Zhi's army to serve.

At this time, Chen Zhi was a little anxious.

At that point in time, it was not long after Liu Bei became emperor, and many things were being coordinated, and there were some fluctuations in the defense support for the Bao Chuan crossing.

And it was also at this time that on Cao Wei's side, Cao Ren dragged the sick body and formulated a plan to recapture the Bao ramp crossing.

In fact, there is nothing new, that is, following Guo Huai's advice, a group of catapults were transferred from Luoyang and Yecheng, and they smashed the camps and city fortresses that he left at the Baochuan crossing.

Although Chen Zhi occupied these fortresses and camps, several of the camps in these years could afford to be smashed by catapults.

In addition, these fortresses and camps were all built by Cao Ren and Cao Zhen, and these two know too well where the weak points of these fortresses and camps are, and they are really smashed with catapults.

Chen Zhi actually defended very hard, and even considered whether to temporarily retreat into the Bao Slope Road, as before, to use the geographical advantage of the Bao Slope Road to block the attack of Cao Jun.

But Liu Yin persuaded Chen Dao.

Under Liu Yin's advice, Chen Zhi not only defended these camps and fortresses in the end, repelled the attack of Cao's army, but also renovated all the fortresses and camps by the way, and made them all stone villages.

And Liu Yin's reliance is actually cement, a "divine object" that makes Liu Yin amazed.
