They are now hidden in Xiangyang City, in a brothel called Cuihonglou. ”

After Fu Lin heard it, he also said: "Very good, as long as there is news." After that, these guards all told them what they had heard, and even how many soldiers and horses there were in Xiangyang City, they found out, and it can be said that they are now a mature scout team.

After Fu Lin heard the news, although he couldn't show too much excitement, he also praised these scouts, and waited for all the scouts to leave.

Fu Lin summoned his main ministers to come over to discuss the matter, but Fu Lin didn't have anything to discuss when he thought about it, because this time only the generals who followed Fu Lin out, but there were no resourceful wise men.

Therefore, Fu Lin finally felt that he would sneak into Xiangyang City first and act at the opportunity, but if such a person and horses all entered the city, it would attract Liu Biao's attention if he said badly, and it would be self-defeating.

So Fu Lin ordered Wang 13 to lead one hundred and fifty guards, and Fu Lin asked them to pick him up in Jingshan.

And Fu Lin was protected by Dian Wei with fifty elite guards, and Fu Lin took these people and Xiao Qiao into Xiangyang City before he spoke.

Here, we must explain that Fu Lin and the others first entered Jingshan, but Jingshan is still some distance away from Xiangyang, and the southeast of Jingshan is Jingshan, and the east of Jingshan is Xiangyang.

That is to say, Xiangyang is located between Jingshan and Xiangjiang River, Xiangyang is close to water on one side, and on the other side is against the mountain, only the north and south can make the army easily passable, which is also the unique geographical location of Xiangyang, but although this terrain is easy to defend, but it does not limit the development of Xiangyang, because the commercial transportation of waterways in peacetime is much faster than that by land, especially in the feudal period of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is very inconvenient to transport by land.

Getting back to the point, so Fu Lin ordered everyone to rush from Jingshan to Jingshan, so that it would be convenient for Fu Lin to act and for the guards to pick up Fu Lin in Jingshan.

The plan has been decided, Fu Lin gave an order, everyone took action, and soon, Fu Lin took Xiao Qiao, Dian Wei and fifty elite guards to Jingzhou, and Wang Thirteen followed Fu Lin's order, they stayed in Jingshan to pick up Ying Lin and them.

Of course, during this period, Fu Lin's scouts have never stopped exploring, some report to Wang Shisan, and some specifically contact Fu Lin, there are many ways here, so I won't go into detail here.

That is, an hour later, Fu Lin and the others came to the north gate of Xiangyang, and Fu Lin looked at the prosperous Xiangyang City and thought of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang is located in the prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Hubei Province in later generations, a famous historical and cultural city in China, the birthplace of Chu culture, Han culture and Three Kingdoms culture, with a history of more than 2,800 years, and has been an important economic and military place in the past dynasties. It is known as "the first city in China, the iron-clad Xiangyang, and the place where soldiers must fight".

Xiangyang is located in the northwest of Hubei Province in the later period, in the hinterland of the plain in the middle reaches of the Han River. Xiangyang is named because it is located in the yang of Xiangshui, the Han River passes through the city, divides the Xiangyang and Fancheng on the north and south banks, and faces each other across the river. Both cities were historically military and commercial towns.

Emperor Wu of the Eastern Han Dynasty belonged to the South County of the Department of Thorn History of Jingzhou. Wang Mangshi once changed his name to "Xiangyang". When Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty restored its original name, it still belonged to the southern county of Jingzhou. During the early peace period of Emperor Xian, Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, moved to the state and ruled in Xiangyang City. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, in 208, Cao Cao controlled the northern part of Nanjun and placed Xiangyang County in Xiangyang City. Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms still belonged to Xiangyang County of Jingzhou.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fu Lin has been to many cities larger than Xiangyang, not to mention that Fu Lin was even more knowledgeable in his previous life.

But during the Eastern Han Dynasty, Fu Lin went to Chang'an and Luoyang, not to mention other cities, just talking about the two capitals of the Han Dynasty, they are bigger and grander than Xiangyang, because after all, Chang'an and Luoyang are the capitals of the Han Dynasty?

However, Chang'an and Luoyang are not as prosperous as Xiangyang, and this prosperity does not mean the scale of the city, but the life of the people, or commerce.

Before Fu Lin and the others entered the city, they found that the outside of Xiangyang City was full of merchants and people walking back and forth.

Soon, Xiangyang City came into front of Fu Lin's eyes, only to see two big characters, straddling the city tower at the north gate of Xiangyang, Fu Lin looked up, and after a while, Fu Lin returned to normal.

I heard Fu Lin say: "Walk into the city, you lead the team in the fifth day, if someone interrogates you, say that you are the leader, and if the soldiers and horses at the city gate take advantage of the money, give it to him." Xiao Qiao, Shanjun, you follow to the middle of the team. Put away your weapons. ”

Fu Lin first said to Dian Wu, this Dian Wu was a house slave that Dian Wei received among the refugees later, and now Dian Wei is also a general under Fu Lin, and it is normal to have a house slave, if it weren't for Dian Wei's wife who is strict, Fu Lin would have given Dian Wei a concubine.

And this Dian Wu did not disappoint Fu Lin and Dian Wei, he is a person who knows how to repay his favor, and he is also a clever and clever subordinate.

After Fu Lin, he was afraid that the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang would see that he and Xiao Qiao and Dian Wei had outstanding temperament, so as to cause some trouble.

The one who said, Fu Lin and Xiao Qiao are handsome and majestic, the other is beautiful, the two of them are right to have a temperament, what kind of temperament does Dian Wei have, then you are wrong, Dian Wei is a fierce general in the army, his murderous spirit and tall figure can't hide it.

So Dian Wu, Xiao Qiao and Dian Wei all said at the same time: "No! "No! The subordinates must live up to the high expectations of the lord. "I listen to Brother Lin."

After Fu Lin explained, he and Xiao Qiao and Dian Wei entered the team of the guards, at this time, everyone also entered the team into the city, because of the prosperity of Xiangyang, there are too many people entering the city every day, so it is necessary to queue up to enter the city.

At the north gate of Xiangyang City, a team of soldiers and horses is checking the pedestrians passing by, of course, the pedestrians are varied, there are ordinary people, as well as officials who eat the emperor, and some people from big families, and finally the merchants dressed up by Fu Lin.

"All line up, don't make trouble, be honest, so that you can enter the city faster, and we will have less trouble, and if you dare to make trouble, watch your heads." At this time, soldier A, who was guarding the north gate of Xiangyang, said.

"Lao Li Tou, look, there is a big fat sheep again, don't check it quickly, let these people wait for a while, they don't have any oil and water, you see this caravan, there can be more than 50 people, and ten big money for one person is five hundred dollars. Walk. "When soldier A inspects the people in the past, in fact, it is to strip the people of fat and ointment, generally they are two big money for one person, they keep a big money for themselves, and then hand over a big money, as for where the money goes, it is not something they can manage, the big money mentioned here is five baht money. Therefore, when Soldier B saw that a caravan was about to enter the city, he said that the caravan they saw was none other than Fu Lin.

The two soldiers called all the soldiers at the city gate, and the common people naturally understood what these soldiers were doing, but none of them dared to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the city.

Dian Wu was at the front of Fu Lin's team, and as soon as they came to the city gate, they heard Soldier A say, "Come on, give way to the caravan." ”

This soldier did not do this kind of thing at first glance, although they could get some benefits from the merchants who entered the city, but they also knew the hearts of these merchants, and they soldiers would also give the merchants a little face.
