There is nothing special about the pigeon, but the sharp-eyed Zhou Yu soon discovered an abnormal phenomenon, this pigeon actually has a reed pipe tied to its left foot. Zhou Yu untied the reed pipe and found a small note inside, but the words on the note, Zhou Yu couldn't understand it at all, it was all a bunch of strange characters that twisted and twisted, in a group of four, but it was very regular, it should not be someone scribbling indiscriminately, it was obvious that this was a secret letter, and these strange characters on the letter must also express a certain meaning.

Zhou Yu handed the note to Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, come and take a look." ”

Lu Xun looked at it for a long time, and his face was inexplicable, and he said: "The last general can't see the reason, but judging from the content, it must be someone who wants to convey some news, and he doesn't want to be known to outsiders. ”

Zhou Yu muttered to himself: "Who is this messenger? Where will this letter go? ”

Could it be that the Jing army was hiding in Jiangdong to inform the direction of Wuchang? ”

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, Lu Xun's guess had some truth, if so, then the situation seemed to be a little bad.

Zhu Ran said disapprerovingly: "Pigeons can also transmit messages, it's too, Jianye and Wuchang are thousands of miles apart, can pigeons really fly to Wuchang accurately and not fly to other places?" If it was really the secret agent of the Jing Army who wanted to pass on the message, such an important piece of information would definitely use an absolutely safe way, relying on a pigeon, it was simply a joke! What's more, this time the governor has been acting in secret, and even the people in Jiangdong have not noticed the meticulous work of the Jing army. How do you know? ”

Zhou Yu was relieved, he really hadn't heard of flying pigeons being able to pass on books or anything like that, maybe this pigeon was made by one or two good deeds. Zhou Yu looked up at the clear blue sky, and the small gray dot finally came out of his sight, blending into the vast blue, and the direction in which the small gray dot disappeared. It is precisely the direction of Wuchang.

Zhou Yu's heart was inexplicably shocked.

In Gan Ning's hand, there was also a small note. If it was usual, what came to Gan Ning's hands must have been translated, but this time the situation was a little special, and this time it was the original sent by the flying pigeon.

After Liu Ze set out on the expedition, the team of Jin Yingwei followed, and Guan Yu went on a northern expedition. took another batch away, and now in Wuchang City, there is only one person left who knows the secret letter, but unfortunately, this person happened to be sick and unconscious with a high fever, so it was passed to Gan Ning. It can only be an original consisting of twenty-six English letters.

Gan Ning was confused, he didn't know how to send messages in codes. I don't know what this letter means, but this letter is marked with an urgent item, which is obviously particularly important information, and Gan Ning doesn't know what to do.

"Dadu Governor, the last general has heard that the queen knows the secret language, and all the secret letters to King Jing in the past were handled by the queen." A staff member beside Gan Ning reminded.

Gan Ning was overjoyed. Immediately rushed to King Jing's Mansion and asked to see Cai Yan.

Cai Yan's life in the past few years has been very leisurely, Liu Ze is away on the expedition, and she teaches her two sons in the house every day, and there is nothing else to do. Wen Ganning asked to see. Cai Yan summoned him in the middle hall.

Gan Ning didn't care about being polite, and immediately presented the secret letter, Cai Yan only glanced at it, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly wrote the translation on the paper and handed it to Gan Ning. There were only a few short sentences on the note: "Zhou Yu sneaked back to Wu, and his behavior is strange, which may not be conducive to Jingzhou." ”

The secret letter was sent back by the Jiangdong Branch of Jinyingwei, although the secret agent of Jinyingwei did not spy on Zhou Yu's transfer of troops, but saw Zhou Yu himself, out of professional sensitivity, Zhao Hu, the commander of the Jiangdong Branch, immediately sniffed out an unusual smell, according to common sense, Zhou Yu should be commanding the army in Yanzhou at the moment, and suddenly sneaked back to Jiangdong secretly, there must be a major conspiracy in this. Zhang Hu immediately warned Wuchang through the flying pigeon and marked it as an urgent secret letter. The way of the express secret letter is to send a message from two pigeons to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Gan Ning's face changed greatly, Zhou Yu secretly sneaked back to Jiangdong, this is by no means a normal situation, Zhou Yu is the governor of Jiangdong, even if he returns to Wu, he is above board, and he acts like this, which just proves that he has an ulterior secret.

Cai Yan said: "The lord's army is outside, Jingxiang's defense is empty, although Jiangdong is an ally, but often has a second heart, this time Zhou Yu acted like this, there must be a major event that is not conducive to Wuchang, and it must be treated with caution." ”

Gan Ning got up and bowed: "The lord is about to leave Fu Ning to guard Jingxiang with heavy responsibility, Ning dare not do his best, if Zhou Yu dares to attack, he will be made to have no return." Gan Ning retired and immediately went down to prepare for the unexpected.

The Snake Mountain Wharf outside Wuchang City is the water and land hub along the Yangtze River, and the merchant ships from Jiangdong, Yizhou, Changsha, Xiangyang and even Guangzhou gather here.

Due to the frequent trade between Jiangdong and Jingzhou, even if Zhou Yu's large-scale merchant fleet entered the port of Wuchang, it did not arouse anyone's suspicion, and the merchant patrol ship in charge of inspection on the river only boarded and inspected the ship as a routine matter, and then issued an access pass to the merchant ship, which made Zhou Yu's painstaking efforts in vain.

Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and Zhu Ran got off the boat and went to the dock, the wharf was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, Zhou Yu and the others were all dressed as business travelers, mixed with the crowd, no one could tell the difference. The sailors who arrived in Wuchang with Zhou Yu also left the merchant ship one after another, all armed with sharp blades, some hidden in their clothes, some in their bags, and some in their goods.

Zhou Yu ordered these sailors to immediately sneak into Wuchang City secretly, according to the time estimate, Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin's land men and horses should be almost there, as long as these thousands of sailors mixed into Wuchang City, when Pan Zhang and Jiang Qin's 30,000 elite soldiers arrived, they could take Wuchang in one fell swoop.

The north gate of Wuchang City, not far from the Snake Mountain Wharf, is full of traffic all day long on this spacious galloping road, and it is very lively. For the sake of prudence, Zhou Yu did not let thousands of sailors pour into Wuchang at one time, but entered in batches, with Lu Xun leading the leading troops to enter the city first.

Because the north gate is adjacent to the wharf, the business travel is continuous, there are countless people in and out of the city gate a day, and there has never been a bad incident in Wuchang City, so the defenders at the city gate only symbolize Liao Liao and a few people, and the passing merchants are not deliberately checked.

Sun Xun walked at the forefront, and when he saw the lax defense of the north gate, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, thinking that the governor really had a clever plan, so Wuchang was simply at his fingertips.

"Stop! Lu Yin brought it. The city gate official stopped Lu Xun and his party, obviously he saw that Lu Xun was a foreigner, and routinely checked it.

Lu Xun was the first to enter the city, naturally very careful, only brought a hundred or so people, and the weapons were hidden at the bottom of the cart full of silk fabrics, he smiled and stepped forward to hand over the road guide, and said: "Xiao Ke's surname is Cheng, Wu Junren's name, the first acquaintance with the trafficking of silk to your land, please make it convenient for adults." As he spoke, Lu Xun handed over a money ticket that was remitted to the world's money bank, and the amount of the money ticket was neither big nor small, 10,000 yuan.

Obviously, how much to bribe Lu Xun was also well thought out, if it was too little, he was afraid that the city gate officials would not see it, and if he said too much, it would expose his true purpose, and 10,000 yuan was nothing to a wealthy businessman.

Money can be channeled, the city gate official took the money ticket, his face was naturally full of smiles, just looked around a few big cars, and waved his hand to let him go.

Lu Xun smiled slightly, calmly walked towards the city gate, just walked to the city gate, suddenly a group of Jing troops poured out of the city, swords and guns, the cold light was pressing, surrounded Lu Xun and his party, only to hear one person sneered: "Lu Boyan, it's been a long time!"
