"Dare to ask the lord, where is the army?" Seeing that Liu Bei was only protected by Shi Jian and other embroiderers, Zhong Xuan asked.

"The army is far away, close at hand." Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Mingting and acting according to the plan, this plan is from the public." Be foolproof. ”

"I have known Gongda for many years. When he saw that the plotters were not in the kingdom, and that great chaos was imminent, he recommended him to assist the king. Unexpectedly, he did not come to the royal city, but went to the Golden Terrace Sifang Pavilion. Fortunately, the road met the king, and it became a good story. Zhong Xuan said with a smile. Friends came later, not only on top of Zhong Xuan, but also on the top of the double. Zhong Xuan talked about his old friend, and his face was full of joy. It is really elegant and gentlemen.

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Yuan Chang is also a good ruler. In a few years, he will be a lonely minister. Why envy others. ”

"Thank you, Lord Gong. I wish to saddle the horse before and after the horse, and make a modest contribution to the king sweeping the world. Zhong Xuan's words have a deep meaning.

After the greetings, Liu Bei immediately asked, "How did you know that there is a Taiping Dao in the city?" ”

"The reason is that the ministers want to drain the water and build ......the city," Zhong Xuan said.

When he first came to this city, Zhong Miao wanted to emulate the experience of water control in the old city of Linxiang. First block the city gate, drain the water in the city, dry it, and then dredge and remove the mud to build an underground pipe network. Then around the city wall, build a water-retaining cofferdam. In this way, you can follow the step-by-step process, follow the story of the hometown and the superintendent, build a canal around the circle, and polder for thousands of miles. Unexpectedly, when the job was recruited, no one applied. After asking his officials, the fishermen in the city listened to the rumor that the fisherman lived on the water. If all the water in the city is pumped out, great disaster will come.

Zhong Xuan remained silent and secretly sent someone to investigate. I learned that the rumors came from a witch wish. This person is good at driving away ghosts and spirits, and can cure all diseases. Quite trusted by fishermen. When the words came out of his mouth, the fisherman would rather believe what he had than what he didn't.

What if it comes true?

After in-depth investigation, Wu Zhu finally revealed his feet. The fisherman's house, who often goes to and from the Wuzhu houseboat to make deliveries, hides letters in the belly of the fish. When Wu Zhu looked closely under the lamp, he was peeped by the embroidered clothes on the beam. It is a correspondence with the thieves of the Taiping Road. Zhong Xuan concluded that Wu Zhu was also a member of the cult.

There are many code words in the correspondence. was successfully cracked by Zhong Xuan. This is known that when the Taiping Demon Road starts up, there will be a group of pirates coming from afar, preparing to join forces with the outside and capture Yongnu County. He then went upstream, setting fire to rice paddies along the way. To chaos thistle national army heart and people's hearts.

Take the fire as the number. The Wuhuan of the upper valley and the thieves of Mount Tai attacked up and down. Take the chestnut in the fire and attack the country of thistle.

There are even pirates in Taiping Road. Sect Leader Zhang is a great treasure, and he really does everything.

"Where did the pirates come from, and who is the leader?" Liu Bei had not been able to know the details of this before.

"The pirates are in charge, and the people of Donglai are Changguang. There are more than 3,000 disciples, according to the Beihai Chunyu area, and they are often harmed. Zhong Xuan replied.

"More than 3,000." Rao is Liu Bei couldn't help frowning slightly: "How many boats are there?" ”

"Large and small ships, about thousands of feet." Zhong Xuan replied again.

"Unexpectedly, there is still a water army, lying on your side." Rao is Liu Bei, and he is also very lucky. Taiping Dao hides the killing machine, which is also its usual trick.

In other words, this attack on the country of Ji is a three-way army. Shanggu Wuhuan went south, and Taishan thieves went north. Make a flanking attack in front and back to attract the attention of our army. Then he ordered 3,000 pirates to cross the sea, first to take Yongnu, and then to the west along the waterway of Jiguo, setting fire to the future and harvesting rice along the way. Once the fire starts, the morale of the army will be chaotic. Shanggu Wuhuan, Taishan thieves took advantage of the chaos to kill, not seeking to capture the land, just to plunder, kill and kill. Plundering the grain wealth accumulated by the Thistle Kingdom for many years.

Good calculation.

If it weren't for Zhong Xuan's stationing here. How could Liu Bei know about such a confidential matter.

At this time, it is clear that talent is important.

Liu Bei descended from the sky, and he was beyond the reach of the whip. If there are no incompetent ministers under his command, how can the conspiracy and trickery encountered along the way be discovered.

There were Li Ru and Xi Zhicai first, and then Jia Xu and Xun Younai were the masterminds. Guan Ning, Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, and Zhong Xuan are all capable ministers. The two ministers have been with each other since childhood, taking care of each other, being elegant and elegant, and having the style of a countryman.

The so-called prime minister can hold the boat in his belly.

The position of the prime minister of the country is important in virtue. Be able to know that people are good at their jobs, and make the best use of their talents. It is the great fortune of the country. The national affairs are all under control, no matter how big or small, everything must be done personally. How can it last long if it takes so much effort?

Well, when you meet Prime Minister Zhuge in the future, you must persuade you well. With the talent of the king, a long life is more important than any magic and trickery. It's the same with Bonghyo.

As soon as Liu Bei's flagship left Nangang, Zhong Miao preached that the king would inspect the border and would come to Yongnu in person. Half a month ago, Water City was well known. The so-called shooting people and horses, capturing thieves and capturing kings. The fighter plane was fleeting. What is more profitable than taking it by surprise, attacking it unprepared, and capturing Liu Bei, the king of thistles!

In this way, you can exchange countless grains and money for money without spending a single soldier. It can also make a big noise. The 36-party Yellow Turban Army took advantage of the situation, and the big thing can be called!

It is expected that the thieves will move when they learn that the king of this is unprepared and inspects Yongnu.

How can we plan and catch all the pirates? Cut off the sea troubles, and then grab greater benefits......

Let's wait for Xun Yu to come and talk about it.

The embroiderer came to report, and Wu Zhu spread the news that night. At this time, he may have crossed the ocean and headed to Qingzhou. Or perhaps, at this time, the thieves have first ambushed on a deserted island off the coast, waiting for the news to come, waving their troops to attack. It is also unknown.

It is said that on the way to inspect the border, Liu Bei returned to Lousang and agreed on the border with the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms. When the letter from Shang Shutai came, it took more than ten days to come back and forth. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the thieves had ample time to set up an ambush.

What will be the case, we will see in three days.

Three thousand pirates familiar with the nature of the water swarmed to attack. And the high-rise buildings and ship buildings in the city are all wooden. If you set fire to the wind with a fast boat, it will be too late to regret it.

Although Yongnuxu hides a dark river. Outsiders don't know. The 500-stone boat trespassed without permission and was very easy to run aground. It must be a light and flexible red horse, a yacht, a boat, and so on. The thieves must not know that Liu Bei is coming, but it is a plan, and they will take Liu Bei, the king of thistles, as a hostage. However, we must also prepare for both. If you can attack, you will attack, and if you can take it, you will take it. When you see that you can't do anything, the wind will inevitably be tight. If the situation is urgent, it is common sense to set fire to the city and block the pursuing soldiers.

Fire attack is one that must be defended.

The next day, a fleet of seagoing ships was moored in the open sea. The boatman sent people into Yongnu City in a flat boat. It is a merchant ship from Beiping County, Pingbo Shuiqi across the sea. On board were winter rations bought by the new Xun County Magistrate.

It can be collected by all households.

As soon as the news came out, there was thunderous cheers. The new county magistrate is trustworthy and true to his word. The matter of locking down the city and scooping up water may be discussed again?

The fishermen went to the witch blessing office one after another to ask. Although Wu Zhu did not let go, his heart became more and more urgent. Let the thistle king buy people's hearts, and in the long run, it will be difficult to do anything.

Behind the hiding door, peep into the waterways in the city and send grain back and forth, and every household has a happy face. Wu Zhu's heart became more and more anxious.

The epistle has already been circulated, so why is no one coming?

If the grain is finished, the thistle king returns. It's too late to regret.

Time passes by the second.

Three days later, the caravan anchored in the open sea crossed the sea on its own and returned to Pingbo Shuiqi.

That night, a huge fleet of pirates, riding the wind and waves, sailed towards Yongnusu.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
