Yinhou of the Three Kingdoms

Guan Yu was a little worried that Jiangdong would play tricks behind his back. If he couldn't let go, he was not sure that he would be able to defeat Cao Wei's army.

However, when Guan Yu was thinking about his strategy, he heard a report from someone outside the door, saying that it was an envoy from Soochow who had come to ask for an audience.

"Oh? People from Soochow are here?" Guan Yu mused, "Since that's the case, I'm going to see what the people want!"

Guan Yudan's phoenix eyes stared suddenly, and a frightening light flashed across. The swordsman next to him was too frightened to look at him.

"Who are you? Why did you come?" Guan Yu asked condescendingly as he sat in the lobby and ordered someone to bring the Soochow envoy to the main hall.

Holding the letter in hand, the envoy bowed respectfully to the main hall.

"The foreign minister pays a visit to the general, and the foreign minister is a partial general under the command of the governor of Lu. Recently, the king of Wu worshiped Lord Lu as the commander of the navy, and the governor sent a foreign minister to visit the general!"

Guan Yu frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help looking at Wang Fang next to him. "General, before Zhou Yu returned to Wucheng to recover from his illness, he asked Sun Ce to appoint Lu Meng as acting governor. The news came from Jiangdong the day before yesterday that Sun Quan feared that the throne would not be stable, so he specially appointed Lu Su as the commander of the navy to control Lu Meng and other generals. Lu Meng took office under Lu Su

Then there was a conflict with it! "

Wang Fang succinctly explained the ins and outs of the matter, and Guan Yu's brows relaxed when he heard it, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Hmph! Sun Zhongmou is really short-sighted, and he actually used this sour child as a general."

Guan Yu contemptuously said without hesitation, his eyes were fixed on the envoy, but he saw that the other party was not only not angry after hearing that his monarch had been humiliated, but became more humble and respectful.

"To the general, the Governor of Lu presented a letter to prepare the gift. Firstly, it is to congratulate Jun Hou Hu for his reputation in China, and the soldiers pointed out that the Central Plains is just around the corner. Secondly, he hopes that Jun Hou can continue to reconcile for the sake of the two alliances. .”

The envoy raised the letter above his head while speaking, and Wang Fang stepped forward to take it and handed it to Guan Yu.

Guan Yu opened the letter casually, but saw that Lu Su's words were quite respectful and humble, with a submissive look, and looking at the gift list, it was quite generous. It seems that the other party really put a lot of effort into it.

"Haha... the kindness of the governor of Lu, the Marquis accepted it with a smile! Erke went back and told Lu Su's son, and said that the Marquis would keep him safe for three years!" The envoy was ecstatic when he heard this, and respectfully After kowtowing to Guan Yu three times, he turned and left, but Guan Yu and the others didn't notice that the moment the other party turned around, there was an incomprehensible expression on his face.

The first thousand and 170 five chapters even went to Jingzhou

Guan Yu waited until the Soochow envoy left, and immediately dispatched troops to Fancheng, leaving only Wang Fang to guard Xiangyang with more than a thousand veterans, and Fu Shiren to guard the public security with two thousand soldiers from the county.

However, Guan Yu didn't know that on the night after he led the army to leave, a fast boat broke through the thick fog and quickly sailed into the camp of the Soochow Water Army.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Guan Yu really led most of the Jingzhou soldiers to Fancheng, now Dangyang, Jiangling and other cities are defenseless!"

When Lu Su heard that the spies had come to report, his face showed joy, but Lu Meng who was beside him was impatient for a long time.

"Very good! You immediately go to Wuchang overnight to report to the king!"

"General Lu, immediately follow our plan and take down all the beacon towers along the way!"

Without hesitation, Lu Su immediately gave instructions to the generals.

"Here!"

Governor Lv Meng's former soldiers and horses mobilized [-] sailors in the starry night, and led a hundred fast boats to head towards Jingzhou in a mighty manner.

Lu Su left some soldiers to guard the camp, and then personally led the rear army to escort the food and grass to follow the front army.

But he said that Lu Meng was on the river by himself, looking at the beacon tower in the distance, with a sinister smile on his face.

"Zhu Ran, follow the plan immediately!" Lu Meng ordered to the people behind him.

"Order!"

Zhu Ran is a general of the Jiangdong Navy. Although his commanding ability on the water is not outstanding, his underwater kung fu is one of the best in the Jiangdong Navy.

That's why Lu Meng entrusted him with the sharp knife task this time. He has full confidence in Zhu Ran. In the early years, this guy was a water thief on the waters of Jiangdong, and there was no ship that he couldn't catch in the past.

If he hadn't met Zhou Yu later and was convinced by a contest of wisdom and force, I'm afraid he would still be at ease in the den of thieves at this moment!

Zhu Ran was not wearing armor at the moment, but was wearing a strong suit. Looking at that outfit, he looked like a businessman's guard, and beside him was standing outside a big belly.

"Jump ship!"

Following Zhu Ran's orders, dozens of people stretched out their hands and jumped onto the empty boat behind, naturally including the big fat man in a uniform. "Immediately pass the general's order that the troops from all walks of life lie in the boat and must not reveal their whereabouts. Another report is that Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, Ding Feng and other six generals will advance one after another. Once Zhu Ran succeeds, Immediately block the surrounding waters, don't let it go

one person! "

Lu Meng continued to order with a solemn expression, he understood that if the matter tonight is not successful, it will be benevolent, and there is absolutely no third way to go.

But Zhu Ran and others escorted the goods and drove the fast boat to the beacon tower ahead, but the Shu soldiers guarding the beacon tower had already discovered their traces, and it was only because they saw that there were few people on the other side that they did not arouse their vigilance Heart.

"Stop the boat and accept interrogation!" Shu soldiers shouted with weapons in hand.

"Mr. Jun, we are all merchants. Because the wind in the river is blocked and there are some goods on board, we thought of taking refuge here."

The fat man beside Zhu Ran hurriedly shouted at the Shu soldiers.

"Cargo? What!"

Hearing that the other party was a businessman, Shu soldiers couldn't help but looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

They have been stationed in Jingzhou for many years, and they are naturally aware of the activities in the water. The boats that can take refuge due to the river wind must have a large amount of cargo on them, and they will eat a lot of oil every time they encounter such things.

"Master Huijun, they are all worthless silk and porcelain, as well as some Tujia wine, I want to transport them to the west!"

"West?"

The sergeant guarding the beacon tower couldn't help but stare and asked.

"You dog, how dare you lie to me, the west is my home, how could you accept such crap like you!"

"Hey! Don't be afraid of the military master's jokes. These things should have been sent to the Central Plains, but because Huainan was occupied by the brutal Cao Jun, the goods couldn't get through, so I had no choice but to partner with a caravan from Jingzhou to send them there!"

The fat man was full of bitterness, and said to the crowd with a panicked face.

"Come on, there are a lot of troubles in the middle of the night, here are some worthless things for everyone, I hope you can help me!"

As the clipper slowly stopped under the beacon tower, the fat man walked over with his servants carrying a big box, took out the Tujia wine and silk and satin in front of them, and then sent the belongings to the watchtower sergeant.

Looking at the things in front of them, the Shu army guarding the beacon tower believed in the identities of Zhu Ran and others, and allowed them to park the clippers by the river.

It's just that they didn't know that when they were dividing up the spoils, the Jiangdong navy, led by Pan Zhang, Ding Feng and others, slowly approached from the right side of those ships.

"on!"

Zhu Ran had been following Fatty all the time, but when they were sharing the loot, he quietly got familiar with the surrounding defenses, and those well-dressed guards also separated unconsciously.

"Kill!" Following Zhu Ran's order, the crowd rushed over, startling the Shu soldiers. Although a few who resisted viciously were killed directly, most of them were stunned. , because Lu Meng led the army to follow, and sent the beacon fire

Taiwan surrounded.

Just like that, the guards of the Beacon Tower were killed and bound. Lu Meng only left a dozen or so guards to guard the prisoners, and he drove the fast boat to the next Beacon Tower without stopping.Zhu Ran and the others were a little nervous at the beginning, but after pulling out seven or eight beacon towers in a row, they formed a tacit routine, first pretending to be a businessman, then giving away goods, and finally controlling the beacon tower first if there is an unexpected situation. Don't give it to the Shu Army
