During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many loyal and righteous people, their stories have been passed down to this day, these people have unique talents, or Wen Tao martial strategy, or brilliant intelligence, or loyalty and courage, so they left a good reputation, today I will talk about the story of Liu Yin, he is a very loyal general.
All-rounder in literature and martial arts
Liu Yin is a native of Chengdu, when he was young, he was on a par with Du Zhen and Liu Shen of the same county, quite famous, he was sincere, high wind and bright festival, so he had many friends, and later came out of Shu Han, and had some political achievements.
Not only politically, but also in the general Liu Yin is more talented. He once followed the great general Jiang Wei in the Northern Expedition, and gradually highlighted his talents in the process of the Northern Expedition, not only had extraordinary strategies, but also had the ability to adapt to changes, he could personally come to the front line to charge the front, and he could also command soldiers to bravely kill the enemy and bravely crown the three armies, so he was quite trusted by Jiang Wei, and was promoted all the way to the rank of Yamen General, Bajun Taishou, Riding Lieutenant, and later moved to Hanzhong Golden Siege Governor, responsible for the defense of a siege in the important area of Shu Han.
Stick to gold
Usually, famous generals are highlighted in the baptism of war. Sima Zhao, a powerful figure in Cao Wei, wanted to send troops to destroy Shu Han in one fell swoop on the grounds that the Shu Han general Jiang Wei had repeatedly harassed the frontier, and at this time Sima Zhao felt that Shu Han had been in the Northern Expedition for many years, the national strength was empty, and some famous generals had long withered away, so this was the best time to destroy Shu Han, but Sima Zhao's idea was opposed by the qun courtiers, and only Zhong Hui agreed with Sima Zhao's idea, so Sima Zhao and Zhong Hui secretly discussed the important matter of destroying Shu, they weighed the advantages and disadvantages, carefully analyzed, so they decided to send troops to destroy Shu Han in one fell swoop.
At this time, the Shu Han state power was empty, the eunuchs were in power, coupled with the late lord Liu Chan was faint and incompetent, so he neglected to take precautions, at that time, Jiang Wei asked Liu Chan to send Zhang Yi and Liao Hua to guard Yang'an Pass and Yinping Bridgehead respectively to prevent the Wei army from attacking, but the eunuch Huang Hao was superstitious about ghosts and gods, believing that the enemy army would not come, so that many ministers of Shu Han did not know about this matter, and when the Wei army of more than 100,000 troops cut down Shu, Zhong would march into Hanzhong, and Deng Ai would march into Puzhong, Liu Chan sent Liao Hua to support Yuzhong, and let Zhang Yi and Dong Yue support Yang'an Pass.
As Jiang Wei reduced the strength of Hanzhong' forces, Zhong Hui smoothly entered Hanzhong and led his army to attack the cities of Han and Le, as well as the various sieges of Hanzhong, including of course, the Golden Siege guarded by Liu Yin. At this time, Jiang Shu Kaicheng at the Yang'an Pass surrendered, so Zhong Hui took the pass and immediately led his army to drive straight in, and Jiang Wei and Liao Hua could only retreat to the Sword Pavilion. Jiang Wei and Zhong Hui then confronted each other at the Sword Pavilion, and finally deng Ai smuggled across jinggu Road, marched into Mianzhu, attacked Chengdu, and forced Liu Chan to surrender.
And zhonghui garrisoned Hanzhong until Deng Ai destroyed Shu Han, Cao Wei's army did not capture the gold that Liu Yin was holding, and no matter how Zhong Hui's army attacked, it could not conquer this city. After Liu Chan surrendered, he wrote a warrant ordering Liu Yin to surrender, and Liu Yin went out to surrender. After Sima Zhao heard about Liu Yin's deeds, he thought that his loyalty and righteousness were commendable and that he was a rare general.
Tell the old man to return home
After Liu Yin surrendered, he was appointed by the imperial court as a huilang, and when Emperor Wu of Jin ascended the throne, Liu Yin was appointed as the Taishou of Xihe, and after three years in office, he managed Xihe very well, and later Liu Yin returned to his hometown on the grounds of old age, and finally died of illness at home, at the age of eighty, two sons were excellent, one became Liandao County Ling, and one was recommended as Xiucai.
brief summary
Liu Yin is worthy of being a famous general of the ancients, and indeed has a festival of superiority, and posterity has evaluated him as "fierce in the West River, loyal and loyal in righteousness", which shows that he is loyal to people.
