Chapter 299: On the eve of the storm
Tiangongfang, guest room.
"See Pavilion Marquis!" When a guard saw Liu Yi coming in, he hurriedly got up and said.
"No need to be polite, County Lieutenant Chen ordered you to come, but there is a situation?" Liu Yi asked.
"Not bad!" The guard nodded and said, "The day after Tinghou left Jiangling, that Fu Shiren went and returned to meet with Mi Fujun, and when the two met, they retreated, and we can't know the content of their conversation. ”
When Liu Yi heard this, he thought silently, this alone is not enough to prove that Fu Shiren has a problem, after all, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and it is reasonable to move around each other, Liu Yi does not have the right to execute officials at will.
Troublesome.
"About the information about Fu Shiren, let County Lieutenant Chen pay more attention." After thinking about it, Liu Yi said.
If Mi Fang's betrayal was out of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Guan Yu, then Fu Shiren gave Liu Yi the feeling that he always had a bit of purpose, ability, and no temper, which is really rare in this world, but unfortunately, Liu Yi doesn't have any intelligence system, and he can only rely on Chen Ergou to do it now, this kid has some means to fight, and the most important thing is that he is clever.
"Whoa!" When the guard heard this, he agreed, and after seeing that Liu Yi had no other instructions, he bowed down and retired, he wanted to rush back to the general as soon as possible and send the news back.
When this matter is settled, I have to find some people who can domesticate pigeons and gather them, which is too slow to pass on information.
Liu Yi is ready to build a pigeon cage to deliver the message, at least two or three months away from the current transmission of the message.
As for how to domesticate, Liu Yi doesn't understand, but there are still people who understand this.
After sending off the guards, Liu Yi returned to the workshop and continued to forge when a merchant ship slowly approached at the port of the fishing village.
"Is this a fishing town?" Looking at the busy scene around, the burly man looked around, and there were people to carry the goods, and he took a few people dressed as nurses, and began to wander around, his eyes swept over the positions of the arches from time to time.
"The head of the family, I can't see that this small fishing town is so prosperous, it is not much better than that Yueyang." Looking at the people who carry goods back and forth, there is an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going, and looking at Jiangdong, there are not many ports that can have such a prosperous port.
"yes." The man who was called the head of the family looked around and said with emotion: "It's better than Mocheng back then, but it's a pity that such talents couldn't be used by the lord in the end, it's a pity!" ”
"The head of the house means ......," the guard looked at the man suspiciously.
Shaking his head, the man didn't speak, just glanced at him lightly, and the guard suddenly looked solemn and didn't dare to say more.
A group of people walked along the road and went straight into the main road, which is also the largest and most prosperous street in the fishing town, with vendors selling along the street, and the tempting aroma of food constantly stimulates everyone's sense of smell.
"Stop, stranger, you can't go any further!" Just as the group was about to go to the Tiangongfang, they saw two men jump out and look at the group vigilantly: "Don't you understand the rules of the fishing town?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Several guards glared at each other, looking at the two men who were not good at Taoism.
"Huh?" These guards are obviously not ordinary characters, they were angry at the moment, and they suddenly exuded a vicious aura, but the two men were not afraid at all, their eyes were glaring, and there was a thick fierce aura all over their bodies.
"I'm sorry, I'm just coming to the fishing town, and I accidentally understand the rules of your land, and I don't think it's strange that I collided with you." The man at the head waved his hand and smiled at the two men.
The two men frowned and looked at this group of people, but there were no guards as heavy as evil spirits around ordinary merchants.
"Farewell!" The man at the head saluted the other party, turned around and left.
Back to the port, go directly to the ship, the money has not been settled, and leave directly.
"Governor, why be so careful?" A guard frowned and looked at the man, this person was the new governor of Jiangdong - Lu Meng!
Lu Meng shook his head and said: "This fishing village is loose outside and tight inside, although there were two people before, but I see that the people on the top of the bucket arch around are looking this way, if I wait to do it at that time, there will be at least ten sharp arrows shot at you and me!" ”
"How can the little fishing village be more tightly defended than that Yueyang City?" A soldier asked puzzledly, they had already explored Yueyang City before, but Yueyang City's defenses were not so powerful.
"In this fishing town, I'm afraid there are some important people!" Lu Meng glanced back at the port that disappeared from sight, and frowned slightly: "Have you noticed those bucket arches at the port before?" ”
One of the guards nodded and said: "Those few dougongs are quite ingenious, the entire port is within the attack range of several dougongs, but those few dougongs can only have a dozen people, if we wait for the army to attack, what is the use of a few dougongs?" ”
Lu Meng nodded, compared to the defense of Yueyang City, although this fishing town is prosperous, but in terms of defense, it is not as good as a fraction of Yueyang City......
Just thinking about it, Lu Meng felt a little toothache, how did Liu Bei build such a city in a year?
"Don't be careless." Lu Meng sighed: "That fishing town is bound to win this time, once the war starts, we must fight." ”
If Jiangdong sends troops to Jingnan, there must be a landing point here, as a supply point for the Jiangdong army, in fact, Yueyang City is the most suitable, but unfortunately, Yueyang's city defense makes people sigh, and the most important thing is that Yueyang City has suddenly become tight recently, obviously Jingzhou is not as defenseless as it seems to be for Jiangdong.
"Governor, do you want to go to Gangneung?" One of the guards asked.
"Go, why not?" Lu Meng nodded and said, the matter of Jiangling, for Zhou Yu, death is a pimple, this time, as long as the opportunity comes, Jiangling is Lu Meng's first target, but in recent years, Jingzhou has changed drastically, and Lu Meng is not sure whether Liu Bei has transformed and strengthened Jiangling, if Jiangling is also like that Yueyang City, Lu Meng can only hope to break through from the inside.
"Governor, do you know the craftsman?" One of the guards looked at Lu Meng curiously.
"There was a relationship, the governor wanted to invite this person, but it was a pity that ......" Lu Meng shook his head, Sun Quan was not too concerned about recruiting Liu Yi at that time, so Liu Bei took the lead, and now Liu Yi's reputation has been well-known to the world, the battle of Jingnan, the battle of Hanzhong, the battle of Shu, and even the battle of Chibi that year, there is the shadow of this person.
Sun Quan wanted to ask someone to secretly recruit Liu Yi several times, but now that Liu Yi is enough regardless of identity and status, how can he easily dig up, this time Lu Meng personally came here to investigate, one is to prepare for the upcoming war, and the other is to see if Liu Yi can be found and robbed.
It's a pity that although Jiangdong's spies are now all over Jingzhou, Liu Yi's whereabouts, except for a trip to Jiangling a few days ago, are basically a mystery.
I hope that this mobilization will be able to capture that Liu Yi, with this person, Jiangdong's strength will definitely be raised a lot!
……
"Mr. Fu, there seem to be a lot more people trespassing in the past few days." Fishing Township, after Lu Meng and his party left, the militia general in charge of the security of the fishing township came to Liu Yi's side and frowned.
"The fishing village looks like it's being targeted!" Liu Yi nodded, when the fishing town was built, I didn't expect it to be as prosperous as it is today, and I didn't build too many defense measures, and now I am being targeted, I am afraid that he wants to use this place as a landing point and a logistics supply station, so it seems that Jiangdong's appetite this time is not small.
"Is the port closed?"
"Not yet." Liu Yi shook his head, the fishing town is now making money every day, and the port is really closed, and the loss is not small, now Guan Yu has not moved his troops, and Jiangdong will not attack when Guan Yu has not yet advanced north, so it is still safe for the time being.
Guan Yu's large-scale construction of siege equipment should not be hidden from Jiangdong, so this battle is inevitable.
"Let's prepare more food and grass for emergencies!" Liu Yi looked at the militia commander.
"Whoa!"
The clouds of war linger in their hearts, but most people in Jingzhou are still living a peaceful and prosperous life, but in the invisible place, the plot between the two sides has actually begun.
Half a month later, news came from Jiangling, Lu Meng wrote to Guan Yu several times, and the content of the letter was unknown for the time being, but after Guan Yu read the letter, he was quite happy, and he thought that it was mostly Guan Yu's letter.
Fu Shiren visited Mi Fang very frequently, he visited five times in half a month, Liu Yi is not worried about Fu Shiren now, he is more worried that in this Jingzhou territory, there are no Jiangdong spies that he doesn't know are mixed in, the enemy who has leaked out of the water is not terrible, the terrible thing is that the enemy hidden in the dark is really fatal.
For this reason, Liu Yi also personally went to Jiangling again, borrowed 2,000 people from Guan Yu to garrison Yueyang, and at the same time went to Yueyang to inspect the city defense before returning.
The foundation of the city wall of the fishing village was also dug during this time, and the official construction began.
