Chapter Eighty-Seven: Scholarly Livelihood Hides from the World
It is precisely because of Lu Xun's participation that Gan Ning's failure can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
Because Gan Ning doesn't know who Lu Xun is, at least now, who makes Lu Xun have no reputation at all, even if Lu Xun is from Jiangdong, but he doesn't have such a big reputation in Wu County, let alone in other places. In contrast, Gan Ning's reputation is quite big, whether it is in Jingxiang, Jiangdong, or Yizhou, in fact. So here, in the case of mental calculation or unintentional, Gan Ning will naturally not be Lu Xun's opponent, even if he is experienced in a hundred battles, he still can't do it.
After listening to Lu Xun's affirmative reply, Ding Feng smiled and smiled happily. In his opinion, as long as Lu Xun makes a move, Gan Ning is indeed not an opponent. This is not to say that Ding Feng is just confident in Lu Xun, the key is that he does know that Lu Xun is a person with real skills and great skills, and this is enough.
And he believes that except for himself, there should be very few people who know Lu Xun's talent, and even his lord doesn't know, so would he not let him go?
At this time, Ding Feng asked Lu Xun: "Bo Yan, what do you think I should do now?" ”
Lu Xun smiled, and then he said: "Brother Chengyuan doesn't have to be nervous because the junior brother is here, how to do it, how to do it." If you have to ask the younger brother, the younger brother will ask Brother Chengyuan instead. How is my brother going to do it? ”
Ding Feng smiled embarrassedly, too, he was An Lu's commander. An Lu guarded the general, Lu Xun was just a helper, he was not even his own person, and it was not good for him to ask him if he was anything.
Then he heard Ding Feng say: "I mean that the gates of the city should be closed first, and then no one should enter or leave, and a messenger should be sent." Hurry up and rush to Xiling City to ask for reinforcements from the lord! ”
Lu Xun nodded and said, "Not bad." Brother Chengyuan's actions are indeed understandable. But I don't know if my brother has thought about it, how many messengers will be needed to have a safe arrival in Xiling. And it takes a few days to get to Xiling. Asking for reinforcements?
Ding Feng thought about it, and I have to say that what Lu Xun said is really a very critical place-
You said that you found out the whereabouts of the Liangzhou army led by Gan Ning, so when you send a messenger, Gan Ning may not send someone to intercept it, so how many people do you have to send? In order to ensure that at least one person will not be intercepted by others and arrive in Xiling City safely.
And from Anlu to Xiling. It can be said that the distance is not so close, how fast can it be to get to Xiling. Of course, the sooner the better, but the reality is ......
Seeing that Ding Feng was frowning, Lu Xun just laughed, Ding Feng asked directly puzzled: "Why is Bo Yan laughing, what is Bo Yan's countermeasure?" ”
Lu Xun said: "Brother, don't disturb, as long as you do what the younger brother says, then there will be no problem!" ”
When Ding Feng heard this, he became interested and asked directly: "I don't know if this plan will come out?" ”
Lu Xun said with a smile: "Brother Chengyuan, please listen to the little brother coming slowly, now as long as the little brother ......."
The more Ding Fenghe listened to what Lu Xun said, the brighter his eyes became. After Lu Xun finished speaking, four words flashed in Ding Feng's mind, seamless! Isn't that the case, Ding Fengxin said, even if he encountered this matter, he had to be tricked in the end, let alone Gan Ning, he didn't know what it was, right, so could he not be hit?
In the end, Ding Feng also had to say his admiration, and then said to Lu Xun: "Then since this is the case, without further ado, it is necessary to make a hard trip!" ”
Lu Xun said: "A qiē wrap on the little brother's body is!" ”
After speaking, Ding Feng took off a jade pendant from his body and gave it to Lu Xun, "This was given by the lord as a brother back then, and now it is to relieve the danger of Anlu, it should be used as a token, and the lord should know it when he sees it!" ”
Lu Xun nodded, "In this way, the little brother will leave!" ”
After speaking, Lu Xun simply cleaned up, and he left. He wanted to act as a messenger himself and go to Xiling to deliver a letter to Sun Ce-
Lu Xun thought that he could definitely break through Gan Ning's blockade. As long as Guo Jia and Ma Chao of the Liangzhou Army are not here, they will definitely be able to go over and reach Xiling. And Lu Xun still asked Ding Feng to send a few messengers, but it was just a cover, who could know that the real messenger was actually Lu Xun himself.
And Lu Xun made it clear to Ding Feng that he had arrived in Xiling from Anlu and knew the nearest road. Originally, even if he was a local, he didn't necessarily know, but Lu Xun once knew a shortcut from an old woodcutter, although it was a small road, but it was definitely much faster. It's about half a day faster than usual, but don't underestimate this half day, it can be said that it's much worse.
So no matter what aspect it is, Ding Feng knows that he has to let Lu Xun out. And Lu Xun asked for a token for Sun Ce from Ding Feng, otherwise how could Sun Ce believe that he was sent by Ding Feng to deliver the message. But with this jade pendant, Lu Xun knew that it was done-
To tell the truth, Ding Feng originally said that he would let Lu Xun take his letter, but when he asked Lu Xun to tell him, Lu Xun said it himself, saying, "Brother Chengyuan, if you want your little brother to be killed by Gan Ning, then give the letter to your little brother." That's not faith. And the time for the talisman! ”
When Ding Feng heard this, he smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly said: "This is for my brother's indiscretion!" ”
Ding Feng is not an ordinary general after all. So as soon as Lu Xun said it, he understood. Ding Feng personally sent Lu Xun out of the city, and at the gate of the city, Lu Xun left. Then Ding Feng went back to the city directly, asked people to close the city gate, and waited for Gan Ning to come over with the Liangzhou soldiers and horses.
Gan Ning's mood at this time was very good. Because for the first time, his lord let himself lead the troops and become the commander. To say that he thinks that he can indeed be on his own, but his lord has never given himself any chance. But think about it. After all, he has just taken refuge in his father-in-law, so it is true that he is not incomprehensible.
But now this opportunity has finally come, so Gan Ning is happy. The heart says that gold will shine sooner or later.
I heard about the guards of Anlu City. It was a subordinate of Sun Ce of the Jiangdong Army, named Ding Feng. Ding Fengzi Chengyuan, a native of Lujiang, and Zhou Yu are considered fellow villagers, and it is said that he is a talent, and he is deeply respected by Sun Bofu.
Anyway, Gan Ning knows so much, although Ding Feng is not so old, but Gan Ning is indeed not a light enemy. Because he knows that it can't be because of the other person's age. I underestimated him. And if that's the case, you're going to be out of luck.
It's a pity that although Gan Ning said that he didn't underestimate the enemy, he didn't know that Lu Xun was the other, so he still had to lose. It's just that he can't be said to have been defeated by Ding Feng, but he was defeated by Lu Xun.
When he was about to arrive outside Anlu City, he reported to the horse: "Report to the general, our army has captured two enemy messengers alive!" ”
Gan Ning smiled slightly: "Okay, kill!" Make persistent efforts, don't let go of any person who has passed, you must strictly investigate, don't let Ding Chengyuan's messenger hide from the sky and pass the sea in confusion! ”
"No!" ――
Gan Ning smiled at this time, and said in his heart, Ding Feng, Ding Chengyuan, how many messengers can you send to ask for help in Xiling. But as many people as you send, I will arrest as many people as I can, and then in the end, I will kill them all to see how many people you have to report the news.
And when it was less than five miles away from Anlu City, Tanma came to report again: "Report to the general, catch a suspicious person!" ”
Gan Ning heard it, suspicious characters? Not a messenger of Ding Feng? Can it be like? Yes, or no?
Gan Ning became interested, "Bring people to me!" ”
"No!"
As a result, a scholar came up from Tanma, at least Gan Ning had such an impression at first sight. At this time, he said in his heart, this Tanma is also quite responsible, and he is not a soldier of the Jiangdong Army at all, but it also makes him suspicious, is it Ding Chengyuan's messenger?
Gan Ningxin said, such a scholar, a person who is "powerless", can still enter the Jiangdong Army? It's not that Gan Ning doesn't believe it, the key is his own Liangzhou army, but there is really no such person-
Of course, you want to say that Guo Jia is also a scholar, but Guo Jia is not an ordinary scholar, and he has followed Ma Chao to fight in the south and the north over the years, so it can be said that you know at first glance that he is definitely a person in the army.
However, Gan Ning looked at the person in front of him, but he was really not in the Jiangdong Army at all. If you want to say that there are a few soldiers who are particularly white-skinned, but this one is a white-faced scholar. At the first glance of Gan Ning, he directly excluded the other party, it is impossible, it can't be someone from Jiangdong Army, it's just a passerby.
And looking at the other party like this, he was trembling, and he didn't know whether he was afraid of himself, or afraid of his Liangzhou soldiers.
Although the suspicion of the other party was ruled out, Gan Ning still had to ask what should be asked, so he heard him say: "I don't know who you are?" ”
The scholar hurriedly said to Gan Ning: "I am from Xuzhou, and my surname is Lu!" ”
Gan Ning nodded, from Xuzhou, Lu Yan-
Don't say it, the other party's authentic Xuzhou dialect, this is really true.
You see Gan Ning mixed rivers and lakes, I don't know how many years, so he himself knows his hometown Yizhou, Jingxiang and Jiangdong very well. And that's not all, even in Xuzhou, north of Jiangdong, Gan Ning knows that he doesn't say much, but he can really hear it. So he knew in his heart that this Lu Yan could be said in authentic Xuzhou dialect.
Gan Ning said to the soldier: "Take it down, check it for a good life, there is nothing special, just let them go!" ”
"No!"
As a result, the soldier took it down to Lu Yan, and Gan Ning said to check it carefully, but it was actually to see if the other party had any letters or other things. And to see how the other horse, if any, is doing.
Finally, the soldier came to report: "Report to the general, the former scholar, except for a few hundred dollars and a sword, there is nothing else on his body.
Gan Ning nodded, there was indeed nothing to doubt about this, but he still asked, "Is it a horse?" ”
The soldier replied: "General Hui, he is indeed riding a horse, but it is a horse!" ”
When Gan Ning heard this, he waved his hand to the soldier, "Okay, let the others leave, this person will not be the messenger sent by Ding Chengyuan!" ”
"No!"
Gan Ningxin said that it was impossible for the messenger sent by Ding Feng to ride a horse. That's really waiting for the letter to be delivered to Xiling, it is estimated that the daylilies will be cold, isn't it, or what else. Gan Ning thought that Tanma was still a little nervous before, saying that this scholar was suspicious, but he didn't see anything suspicious about the other party.
There is nothing on his body, except that the money is a sword, he rode a horse, and then he still has a Xuzhou accent, this is definitely not a messenger, just send it away.
Gan Ning didn't think much about it, this was just a small episode, but he didn't know it at this time, he had already let the big fish run away-
That's right, the scholar who claimed to be called Lu Yan before, and the scholar with a Xuzhou accent was Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, and the messenger sent to Xiling by Ding Feng. (To be continued......)
