Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 207 Obtaining information
Lu Su saw that Sun Quan had made up his mind after eating the weight, and none of the officials in Jiangdong had spoken up for Liu Bei. It would be unwise to openly oppose Liu Bei at this time, so he changed the subject and said, "My lord, I will send the book to General Guan tomorrow, but I still have to Actively prepare to attack Hefei, otherwise the opponent cannot be easily convinced."

Sun Quan nodded in satisfaction, "Zi Jing's words are very kind. Cheng Gong can organize his troops at Ruxukou to prepare for the war. All the gentlemen in the hall can think of a good reason, so that it will be justifiable for us to send troops to Jingzhou."

"Wei." Cheng Pu replied in unison with everyone.

Lu Su said again: "Jingzhou should be slowed down. Lantian is now the prefect of Lingling and the governor of the four counties in Jingnan. Get the name of sending troops, but Lu Ziming is in danger in Jiaozhou."

"The governor is right. In the past, he defeated Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in Xiaopei, and also defeated Cao Cao's general Xiahou Dun. The combat effectiveness of this army cannot be underestimated. Ziming still doesn't know it." Cheng Pu also became worried.

Sun Quan heard cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, so he stood up and wiped it with his sleeve. He thought about it all night yesterday, and finally settled down today, but he didn't expect that Lu Meng was in great danger.

Sun Quan paced back and forth, and finally pointed to his confidant Lu Fan and said: "Ziheng, I represent you as the prefect of Cangwu, and Shixie as the general of the left. You hurried to Jiaozhou to take up the post. One is to appease the scholar's family and make him return to his heart. The second is to instruct Lu Ziming to attack Yulin County cautiously, and report to Jianye immediately if he finds that Lai Gong's army is in the camp."

"Wei." Lu Fan cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Lu Fan set off on a light boat and arrived in Jiaozhou in the middle of May. Lu Meng's warship docked at Gaoyao and was about to sail into Yushui.

According to Sun Quan's wishes, Lu Meng first sent people by sea to Jiaozhilongbian to appease Shixie, and then took a boat up the Yushui River to reach Guangxin, the governor of Cangwu, and stationed there.

After Lu Fan conveyed Sun Quan's meaning, both Lu Meng and Wei Jing felt incredible.

Lu Meng smiled coldly: "The camp is just well-equipped infantry. What are they worth in front of my Jiangdong navy? If Lantian really dares to come, I will capture him alive."

"Zi Ming should not underestimate the enemy, can Lai Gong's truth be found out?" Lu Fan asked.

Lu Meng had been guarding against Shi Xie before, and he didn't pay attention to Lai Gong at all. The occupation of Cangwu was also arranged by Wei Jing.

Wei Jing replied: "Lai Gong seems to attach great importance to the job of governor, and he has not given up until now. Taking advantage of Wu Ju's death, he sent more than a thousand people into the territory of Cangwu. Encountered, fought several times and won each other."

"Can you find the figure trapped in the camp?" Lu Fan asked.

Wei Jing shook his head, "After being identified by Wu Ju's troops, those are Lai Gong's garrison in Bushan."

"The majestic governor of Jiaozhou, Lai Gong can't possibly have more than a thousand soldiers, what else do you know about the military?" Lu Fan asked again.

Wei Jing smiled wryly: "Lai Gong and Wu Ju have been at war for a long time, so there is basically no information to pass in and out between Cangwu and Yu Lin. According to the introduction of Wu Ju's general, there should be thousands of people in Yulin County. Viet Cong."

Lu Fan asked Lu Meng again: "Ziming has a heavy responsibility to send troops to the state. Didn't he inquire about Lai Gong's truth?"

Lu Meng said embarrassingly: "Jiaozhou is located in a barbaric place. I thought it would be determined by killing Wu Ju, but I didn't expect Lai Gong to be stronger than Shi Xie, so I didn't have time to inquire about Yu Lin. However, I have [-] elite soldiers in Jiangdong. , will be able to kill the Quartet here."

Lu Fan shook his head, feeling that Lu Meng and Wei Jing still underestimated the enemy, "Could it be that Yu Lin and Cang Wu have no connection at all? It's impossible for Lai Gong to guard against the iron bucket?"

Wei Jing quickly replied: "Although Lai Gong and Wu Ju are often at war, there are still bold merchant ships going to and from Yushui. A few days ago, I detained two Yue merchant ships returning to Bushan."

"Businessmen and merchants must have learned a lot of information when they traveled around for a lot of money. We can use them."

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he asked Wei Jing to bring the leader of the caravan for questioning. That man was Wu Sihei who was stranded in Guangxin. He seemed very reserved in front of the three Jiangdong generals.

Wu Sihei volunteered to come out and take the boat. Although he concealed it well along the way, he failed to send the information back to Bushan in time. hope.

Wu Sihei followed Abu to develop the ability to observe words and emotions. From the conversations of several people, he saw that Wei Jing had the lowest official position, and Lu Meng was very polite to Lu Fan, so he guessed in an instant which of the three had the most right to speak.

"Where are you from?" Lu Fan asked.

"I'm from the Dingzhou of Yulin County," Wu Sihei replied truthfully.

"Han Chinese is very good."

"The general's reputation is too high, and merchants and ships must be able to speak Chinese."

Lu Fan didn't directly inquire about Lai Gong's reality, but slowly set the tone through chatting. Wu Sihei is not an ignorant teenager now, and he can say what he can say but can't say clearly.

After the two talked a lot of polite words, Lu Fan got to the point: "Your caravan travels all over the place, have you ever seen a heavily armored garrison in Bushan?"

Wu Sihei shook his head without any hesitation and said with certainty: "The climate in Jiaozhou is warm, and there are no heavily armored soldiers in the garrisons in various places. A month ago, my caravan passed by Bushan for supplies, but I saw thousands of foreign soldiers. .”

"Foreign race?" Lu Fan frowned.

Wu Sihei scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's also possible that they are of the Yue nationality. Many Yue people in Jiaozhou do not speak any language."

"How many Yue soldiers are there in Bushan?" Lu Meng asked hastily.

"That's quite a lot, there may be thousands of people densely packed." Wu Sihe tried hard to recall.

Hearing that there were only a few thousand Yue soldiers, the huge stone in Lu Fan's heart fell to the ground. It seems that Lantian still didn't intervene in Jiaozhou. He rewarded Wu Sihei with an ingot of gold, and he was ready to be taken back to the dock for seizure.

Wu Sihei refused to accept the gold, but kowtowed and begged: "Generals, please be flexible. My merchant ship has been stranded in Guangxin for half a month. The old and young in the family are still waiting for me to bring back money to buy food."

Seeing this, Lu Fan pulled Wei Jing aside and asked in a low voice: "Is this Yue people's caravan credible? Could it be Lai Gong's elaboration? That guy was able to find so many Yue soldiers, so it can be seen that he was in Yulin. The reputation is not low."

Wei Jing quickly shook his head: "This Yueren caravan has existed for a long time. It has been traveling around Jiaozhou to do business for a long time, and it is very 'sensible'. Lai Gong, Wu Ju, Shi Xie and others are not in trouble. It should not be a certain party. detailed work."

Lu Fan nodded after hearing this, walked back to Wu Sihei, took out two ingots of gold and said, "The leader of Wu Sihei was at the pier just now, did you see our Jiangdong warship?"

"Those ships are so big." Wu Sihei nodded.

Lu Fan smiled and said, "You see the biggest one is called Lou Chuan. I have dozens of this kind of ships in Jiangdong, each of which can carry 5000 troops. The next six or seven ships should be here soon."

"Five thousand." Wu Sihei swallowed his saliva.

"Take these two ingots of gold and send a letter to Lai Gong in Bushan. He who knows the current affairs is a hero. Don't stand in front of me in Jiangdong. Cao Cao's 40 troops in the past were all wiped out, let alone thousands of soldiers? Being able to save your fellow clan from suffering is considered a meritorious service to your clan." Lu Fan said threateningly.

"Then I can go home?" Wu Sihei was overjoyed.

"of course."
