Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Mi Kang agreed without hesitation, which made Gu Wei slightly stunned.

As Li Ji's personal servant, Gu Wei knows all aspects of the Han Dynasty today.

For example, when the Mi Chamber of Commerce entered Hanzhong County to do business, they were actually monitored everywhere because they were afraid that a large number of spies had been planted through the Mi Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, behind this Chamber of Commerce ship, there was still a warship from Hanzhong County following and conducting surveillance.

Therefore, Gu Wei also knew that it was not easy for merchant ships to dock on the north bank of the Han River.

However, Mi Kang agreed so directly and readily that Gu Wei did not question it. Instead, he bowed and sent Mi Kang away to make arrangements.

Soon, Gu Wei understood what Mi Kang was doing...

There was a large hole in the bottom of the cabin of the merchant ship, and water was entering the ship seriously.

When the merchant ship barely docked on the north bank of the Han River and in the chaos of small boats transporting people ashore, Mi Kang safely brought Gu Wei and a group of guards to the shore.

When Gu Wei got ashore, he looked back and saw that the merchant ship had already sunk halfway, and there was naturally no time to rescue the large amount of cargo on board.

Mi Kang didn't care about the shipload of cargo at all and bowed.

"Kang can only send you here, please forgive me. The future is uncertain, please take care of yourself, Mr. Gu."

"Zhong Ye was willing to sink the ship to send us ashore. The loss is so huge. Will he be held accountable afterwards?" Gu Wei asked.

"My cousin gave me the task of sending Gu Lang on his way at all costs. Let alone a mere merchant ship, my Mi family has achieved today's glory thanks to the King's grace. Even if I am beheaded today, what's the point of saying that?"

Mi Kang said something, turned his head slightly, and looked at the Hanzhong warship that was monitoring the merchant ships and was about to dock, and said anxiously.

"Please hurry up, Gu Lang, and don't let the Hanzhong soldiers notice Gu Lang. Kang Yi still needs to deal with those soldiers, so I won't see you off."

"If I have the chance someday, I will definitely hold a banquet in Shouchun to thank Zhongye for his help. Take care."

Gu Wei bowed and hurriedly returned the greeting, then quickly walked into the dense woods on the shore under the protection of the guards and disappeared in an instant.

After passing through the woods, he found a road, saw some people, and confirmed his location. Then Gu Wei opened the map he carried with him and began to calculate.

Although Gu Wei looked like a traveling scholar, the problem was that there were not many scholars in Hanzhong, and scholars from the Central Plains rarely went to Hanzhong to study.

So in order to avoid exposing any flaws, Gu Wei had no intention of entering Nanzheng. Instead, he planned to bypass Nanzheng City and continue northwest into Liangzhou.

After Nanzheng City, you can pass through Mianyang City and continue west to Yangping Pass, which guards the Qinling Mountains and Han River, to enter Liangzhou.

Unlike Hanzhong, which was occupied by Zhang Lu for many years and implemented the integration of politics and religion, making it quite stable internally, Liangzhou had experienced long-term wars, with various forces entrenched and Han and Qiang people living together, and there were very few local inspections.

Therefore, as long as they could pass through Yangping Pass and enter Liangzhou, Gu Wei would try to get some horses and travel at full speed along the way.

Having decided on the general route in his mind, Gu Wei quickly put away the map and continued on his way west.

Gu Wei did not enter the two cities of Nanzheng and Mianyang along the way to rest. He slept in the open air, lacked food and clothing, and mostly traded with the mountain people along the way for supplies.

But when Gu Wei, who looked a little disheveled, arrived at Yangping Pass, he couldn't help but frown.

Perhaps due to the chaotic situation in Liangzhou, the inspection at Yangping Pass was extremely strict, with identities checked and all personal belongings searched thoroughly.

"No way!" Checking the identity is easy, Gu Wei still has a chance to disguise himself.

But the problem is that Gu Wei is carrying a secret letter that needs to be delivered to Ma Teng. Once it is searched out, it may lead to unknown consequences.

In desperation, Gu Wei had to try to find ways to bypass Yangping Pass, but was rejected one by one by Gu Wei.

If you want to enter Liangzhou from here, Yangping Pass is a checkpoint that you cannot avoid.

Unless Gu Wei gave up on leaving Yangping Pass, turned back a bit along the original route, went directly north through Jigu, took the sloping road, crossed the long Qinling Mountains to reach Sili, and then entered Liangzhou from Sili.

But it would take too long to take this route, and there was a possibility that Hanzhong soldiers would set up checkpoints and search the area from Jigu to Xielu.

Gu Wei knew clearly that the secret letter on him might affect the success of the Northern Expedition and could not be delayed for too long. Otherwise, something might happen. By then, even if he persuaded Ma Teng to send troops to attack Sili, it would be of no use.

Therefore, Gu Wei gave up the idea of ​​going through Jigu from the very beginning and instead wanted to pass through Yangping Pass.

The only hope Gu Wei could still place on was to find a small path that could bypass Yangping Pass.

But after searching for three days, there was still no result.

This made the group of people who were warming themselves around a bonfire in the night, most of the guards were so tired that they fell asleep, but Gu Wei was still studying the map in his hand bit by bit by the light of the fire.

Suddenly, the guards who were assigned to guard the perimeter shouted loudly.

"Enemy attack!"

The guards who were originally sleeping around the campfire woke up almost instantly, instinctively picked up their weapons, and protected Gu Wei in the middle.

The next moment, the guards on guard outside rushed back and shouted, "There are a large number of soldiers in full armor surrounding us from the west. Quickly protect Gu Lang and retreat eastward."

Immediately, a guard kicked out the campfire in a few seconds, making the environment dark in an instant.

However, the group did not all go east as the guard had deliberately shouted. Instead, five of them deliberately made a lot of noise and went east, while the remaining fifteen people carefully protected Gu Wei as they walked north.

Gu Wei did not say a word the entire time. He held the sword in one hand and carefully protected the secret letter hidden on his chest with the other hand. He tried hard to distinguish the environment in the dark and quickly followed the guards' pace to avoid falling behind.

Less than thirty breaths after Gu Wei and his companions hurriedly evacuated, a group of soldiers holding torches surrounded the original campfire.

Yang Ren, the Hanzhong general with a resolute face and tall stature, walked to the campfire that was kicked apart and snorted coldly.

"What a bunch of thieves! They acted quickly, retreated decisively, and knew how to cover their tracks. It seems that they are definitely more than just scouts of the thief army."

Although we tried our best to cover it up, it could only deceive those who were careless and incompetent.

But from the traces left at the campfire, Yang Ren carefully observed with the help of a torch and it was not difficult to judge that the two groups of people fled to the west and the north respectively.

"Yang Ang, you lead a hundred men to chase eastward, and the rest of you follow. We must not let these thieves get away."

"Yes."

Immediately, Yang Ren and Yang Ang divided their forces into two groups and chased after them in different directions. (End of this chapter)
