Two days later, Zhang Xun and Chen Palace, who were stationed in Chenliu, and Zhang Miao, who was left by Xu Ji to "retire" in Chenliu, greeted a distinguished guest, who claimed to be a member of the Yuan family, who came from Liyang, claimed to be Yuan Qiao, and came to inform the time when Zhen Mi was held hostage to cross the river.

This man, of course, was a Phantom fake, and he had several forged letters on him.

In order to get the handwriting of many people in the Yuan family, Phantom deceived those people and said that all those who participated in the abduction of Zhen Mi would be sentenced to death, but they could be allowed to leave their last words.

The people of the Yuan family knew that they would die, and they didn't have him, not to mention that they could get this opportunity before they died, so they all picked up the pen to write letters.

In this way, the handwriting of many masters of the Yuan family naturally fell into the hands of the shadow.

After interrogating Yuan Jian and Zhen Fu again, I figured out who the leader was and the tone of everyone's speech, etc., and then I had these forged letters in front of me.

Zhang Xun was of course overjoyed to see these letters, but Chen Gong strictly examined this ghost, and on the surface his tone was respectful and polite, but in his words, he was constantly testing this ghost, especially asking in detail about the members of the Yuan family and how he crossed the river.

Of course, this Phantom member was able to be sent here, of course, he had been prepared for a long time, and on the surface, he pretended to be casual and answered all questions about Chen Gong's questions, and his words were not leaky.

Zhang Xunnai is a beloved general under Yuan Shu, of course he is very familiar with the people of the Yuan family, although he has not seen this person, but when he sees this person, he is extremely familiar with the Yuan family, of course, there will be no doubts. After all, there are so many people in the Yuan family that he can't know every one of them. And he had heard of the name "Yuan Qiao". It's just that I'm not familiar with it.

Of course, there was a person in the Yuan family, but this person had already died in the battle that night. When he was found, he was already full of crossbow arrows.

So of course Zhang Xun didn't know that the ghost of Lu Dao was selected by Shi A and others from among the shadows according to the information put forward by Yuan Jian. In terms of appearance, he is very similar to the real Yuan Qiao, of course, his appearance cannot be exactly the same. But it has several significant characteristics of Yuan Qiao, if there is no portrait, only use words to describe it, the guarantee can be fake and true. After all, in a hurry, Zhang Xun and Chen Gong couldn't find the portrait of the real Yuan Qiao, right?

The most important thing is that the handwriting of the letter brought by Yuan Qiao is not wrong, and the tone of the words in the letter is exactly the same as Zhang Xun's understanding of these people, so he is even more convinced of the Yuan Qiao in front of him.

Where did he think that there was an inner ghost like Yuan Jian, and the information of everyone in the Yuan family was no longer a secret.

Chen Gong was relieved when he saw that Zhang Xun was very sure that this person was from the Yuan family. So they discussed the matter of crossing the river together, and the phantom especially emphasized that he hoped that the big man who would stay behind Chen would personally go to Guandu to meet them. The reason is very simple, after all, Zhen Mi will marry Yuan Shu's son after coming here, and it is more decent for someone with status to greet him.

Of course Chen Gong will not go, after all, the war ahead is tight, and the Yanzhou army has always been scheming, not to mention that Chen Gong still has to lead the overall situation, of course Zhang Xun will not go, he is the commander of Chen Liu's three armies.

In the end, it was decided that Zhang Miao would go, after all, Zhang Miao was an idler. Since Xu Ji became the assassin of Yanzhou, he has been even more excluded, so although he is named Chen Liutaishou, the real principal of Chen Liu is an official under Xu Ji of Yu County, but Zhang Miao has been operating in Chen Liu for many years, so he naturally has his relationship. Moreover, in Yanzhou, Zhang Miao is the spiritual leader of the Yanzhou family, and he wants to gain a foothold in Yanzhou. Without Zhang Miao's support, it would be difficult to move an inch, the former Liu Dai. The current Yuan Shu is very polite to Zhang Miao.

Only Yuan Shao, a person who is all over the world, will be very unkind to Zhang Miao when the princes meet the alliance.

With the strong strength of Yanzhou, he sent a capable minister like Liang Xi. Coupled with Bocai and Zhang Yan, Zhang Miao, who still can't help Zhang Miao, who is assisted by Chen Gong, is of course extremely harmonious on the surface, but secretly it is like fire and water.

Therefore, now the task of welcoming Zhen Mi is handed over to Zhang Miao, which can be said to be the most suitable person.

This situation is exactly the result that Shi A and the others want, and with this coward Zhang Miao, they can do a lot of things.

After discussing everything and agreeing on a good time, the ghost of the fake "Yuan Qiao" crossed the river with Shi Shiran.

Chen Gong, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Xun of course began to make busy preparations.

The next night, on the opposite shore of Guandu.

Shi Ah and Liang Xi and a few small leaders of the shadows stood leisurely by the river, the shadows around them were busy, but they did not give people a sense of messiness at all.

Shi Ah didn't speak, just looked at the other side, although it was dark night, but as long as there was a slight light, it would be difficult for Shi A.

Liang Xi asked the little leader beside him, "How long is it before I can get ready?" ”

A shadowy little leader said in a deep voice: "Report to Lord Liang Xi, in fact, we have already prepared everything during the day, and all we have to do now is to change our equipment and prepare to cross the river dressed as floating corpses." ”

Liang Xi nodded, but Shi Ah turned around when he heard this, looked at the shadows around him who were carrying some shriveled skins, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Could it be that these things are used to cross the river?" ”

The little leader of the shadow said respectfully: "Mr. Shi Ah said it very well, I heard the lord say that this is made in imitation of what 'lifebuoy', and what 'water is buoyant', as long as these things are inflated, people can float on the water without swimming with these air bags." Mr. Ma Jun didn't use much effort to invent it. This thing is really easy to make, not as time-consuming and labor-intensive as a repeater. ”

Liang Xi sighed and said, "The lord is really a god, and he can design such a thing. ”

Shi Ah completely agreed with this, it turned out that he just admired Xu Ji's martial arts, but since he arrived in Yanzhou, he looked up to Xu Ji.

Hearing this, the phantom shook his head and said to the two: "The lord said that he was just picking up people's teeth, and the lord said that Mozi in the Warring States Period had already expounded the concept and calculation method of 'buoyancy', and also said that Mozi was the name of his old man's initiative compared to what the Western one...... That's right! The man called 'Archimedes' was many years earlier. What else should Newton's first two laws be called Mozi's laws, anyway, we don't understand. However, those Yanzhou craftsmen are really powerful, and they are all ingenious. No matter what you do, you can do it at your fingertips. ”

Liang Xi and Shi A glanced at each other, and the former exclaimed: "These craftsmen in my Yanzhou are indeed extraordinary. However, what I admire even more is the mind of the lord who is tolerant of all rivers, and only this kind of open-mindedness that is not bound by prejudices can start a sect and be called everyone. ”

As he spoke, he saw the phantoms pick up the large and small skins, and began to blow them up, and then fixed four smaller skins to the limbs, one of which was a relatively large oval skin bag fixed in the clothes of the abdomen, and the other relatively large flat skin bag was fixed on the back cover, just enough to cover the entire upper part of the junior.

"With these six skins. The amplitude of our stroke in the water does not have to be so large, so it will not arouse the suspicion of the enemy, and the protruding skin on the stomach will not arouse the suspicion of others, but will only think that it is the abdominal distension of the drowning person after death, because it is on the back, so no one will find the skin on the back hidden under the water. In this way, of course, it will be very easy for us to pretend to be floating corpses. The little leader of the shadow continued, "This section of the river is wide, and the water is not very fast, so there is no fear of being washed away somewhere else when you enter the water. ”

Shi Ah and Liang Xi nodded, satisfied with the phantom's careful planning.

This time. Zhen Mi, accompanied by several shadows, walked quickly to the river with the dejected Zhen Fu and Yuan Jian, and smiled at Shi A and Liang Xi with a bright face: "Two gentlemen, the little girl is ready, I don't know when the road will start?" ”

Shi A glanced at Zhen Fu and Yuan Jian. couldn't help but despise it in his heart, and only talked to Zhen Mi, but Liang Xi looked at Zhen Fu and Yuan Jian with a smile. However, there was an indescribable chill in the smile and said, "You two, tonight depends on your cooperation." I hope you can take the chance, otherwise. Hum! You also know the methods of our Yanzhou army! ”

Zhen Fu said yes, Yuan Jian couldn't help but shudder when he thought of what happened to him, seeing him like this, a ghost behind him stepped forward, glanced at Zhen Mi, who was talking and laughing with Shi A, lowered his voice and said coldly: "Yuan Jian, you kid be clear!" Don't play tricks on me when you get to the other side, tell you, the kind of medicine we force you to take is a powerful aphrodisiac and a toxic corrosive poison, if you dare to go back on your word, no one will give you an antidote, once the drug has a seizure, you will burn yourself all day long, and the inside of your thing will be damaged by this medicine, so that you can't get hard for the rest of your life, every day against this thing, but you can't play with women, do you know what to do? Yuan Jian was chilled by what this phantom said.

"But ......," the phantom said in a long voice: "That medicine is also an aphrodisiac, as long as you take the antidote, you can even have a few women in bed without leaking, let you roam in bed, where to go, you can do it yourself!" ”

Yuan Jian couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, after all, he had no way back, and cooperating with the Yanzhou Army was his only way to live - once a person became a traitor, there was nothing he didn't dare to do.

Liang Xi secretly praised in his heart: This phantom is really powerful, dealing with others is completely aimed at weaknesses, and now this trick is really a death hole for Yuan Jian, if he doesn't have the ability to play with women, he burns himself every day, which is really worse than killing Yuan Jian.

Shi A had already spoken to Zhen Mi at this time. Turning his head to Zhen Fu and the two of them, he said, "After a while, I will cross the river myself, and I will stand beside the two of you." ”

Zhen Fu and Yuan Jian shuddered when they said this.

Zhen Mi already knew the method of the ghost of the Dao at this time, and a question arose in his heart: "I see that the method on the other side of Guandu does not seem to be very strict, do you have to use this method?" It's not a problem for our troops to sneak across the river, right? ”

Liang Xi shook his head and said: "Of course Zhang Xun's army will not stick to the riverbank, he only needs to leave heavy troops in Chen, according to General Zhang Yan's intelligence, Guandu has 10,000 elite soldiers, Zhang Xun only needs to send a few people to monitor the riverbank, as long as our army crosses the river, these spies will immediately report back to Guandu, 10,000 elite soldiers are enough to hold the city, and the cities around Guandu are Zhang Xun's army, we are just doing this alone, throwing ourselves into the net, so we came up with this strategy, which can make Guandu fight down!" ”

Zhen Mi nodded, and asked again: "But these soldiers are bare-handed, how can they fight the enemy when they get to the other side?" ”

Shi Ah said indifferently: "All the weapons and equipment will be placed on the five big boats we are on and will arrive on the opposite shore. We're going to dump the five boats on the shore, and we'll be there dressed as floating corpses. Just go to the boat and get the equipment. ”

"However, are there no soldiers from Yuan Shu's army on the shore? Won't these shadows be exposed when they come ashore? Zhen Mi's heart is as meticulous as hair. He asked with a frown.

Liang Xi smiled mysteriously and said, "That's why we asked that the person who greeted us in Guandu tonight was Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao." ”

Zhen Mi frowned lightly, still not understanding what the use of this was.

At this time, a shadow little leader looked around at the left and right, looked at the sky again, and said to Shi A in a deep voice: "Mr. Shi A, we are ready, the time is almost up, let's go!" ”

Shi A nodded and waved his hand to Liang Xiyi. Said loudly: "Mr. Liang Xi, please leave it to you here." ”

Liang Xi nodded and said, "I'll grasp the timing!" ”

Shi A turned around and floated onto the boat, Zhen Mi then boarded the boat, and Yuan Jian and Zhen Fu also boarded the boat under the surveillance of several ghosts.

Five large ships, with just over a hundred Shadows, and the rest of the space is entirely used for military equipment.

The five big boats slowly moved and slowly sailed towards the opposite bank of Guandu.

Liang Xi watched the five big ships go away, his eyes shot a fiery look, and then said coldly: "Do it!" ”

Order. The rest of the shadows went into the water one after another, and swam on their backs to the opposite shore.

At the same time, along with the three thousand troops brought along, they lit torches and began to run haphazardly on the shore. While running, he shouted and shouted to kill, and the sound spread far away until the other side of Guandu.

Liang Xi stood in the noisy crowd with his hands in his sleeves and sneered: "Zhang Miao. See if you're not fooled! ”

Guandu, north.

Zhang Miao was standing anxiously on the shore. He led a large group of representatives of the Yanzhou family and a bunch of archers with a number of 1,000 people to look at the opposite bank.

The time has come to cross the river.

It's just that I can't see anything on the surface of the river clearly in the dark.

Suddenly, countless torches were lit on the other side of the river. It seemed to stretch for two or three miles, and the shaking of the torches was chaotic, and there were bursts of shouts of killing, apparently fighting.

Zhang Miao's face immediately turned pale when he saw this, and he shouted, "What happened? ”

The general next to him said with a solemn expression: "Did an accident happen?" Your whereabouts have been discovered by the Yanzhou Army? ”

Zhang Miao's face turned even paler, and he said in a trembling voice: "If that's the case, let's quickly turn around and go back to Chen." ”

Everyone nodded, after all, most of the people who came here didn't know martial arts, although there was an army, but compared to the Yanzhou army, it was too much worse.

At this time, one person suddenly said, "Lord Zhang Miao, look! ”

Zhang Miao looked at it, but saw five big ships coming in the wind and waves under the light of the sky on the opposite bank.

"Could it be the fleet of the Yanzhou Army?" Zhang Miao said in a panic.

"This is unlikely, if Yanzhou's fleet wants to cross the river, it will definitely send many ships, and it will not be like now with only five large ships." One said categorically.

At this moment, the five warships raised their flags one after another, and the big "Yuan" was written on the big flag of each ship.

Zhang Miao came to his senses and said in surprise: "By the way, this is the code we agreed!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but one of them frowned and said: "But now the situation has changed, and the lights are bright behind, who knows if it is not Yanzhou's plan?" ”

Zhang Miao smiled: "We have already thought of this, just in case, they will send a small boat to confirm when they are close to the middle of the river, including Yuan Qiao, who came to report to us a few days ago." With a wave of his hand, a thousand archers were already lined up, drawing their bows and aiming at the big ship in case of accidents.

As he spoke, he saw a small boat cast on the big boat in front of the opposite form, and there were five people standing on the small boat, one of whom seemed to be a boat, and I saw that under the skillful skill of the boat, the Ye Bian boat was speeding towards this side.

At this time, everyone was open-minded.

After a while, the boat reached the bank of the river, and the four men jumped off.

Zhang Miao perked up and led everyone to greet him.

The leader is, of course, the phantom who calls himself Yuan Qiao, behind him is Zhen Fu and Yuan Jian, and the last is Shi A.

Zhang Miao was relieved when he saw that it was Yuan Qiao, and he smiled and wanted to say a few polite words to "Yuan Qiao", but who knew that this "Yuan Qiao" said to Zhang Miao with a gloomy face: "Lord Zhang Miao, please let our big boat cross the river, our whereabouts have been discovered." I'm worried that the Yanzhou Army will send troops across the river to retrieve Miss Zhen Mi. ”

Zhang Miao was taken aback, and looked at the more and more amazing shouts of killing on the other side. A little flustered: "What the hell is going on?" By the way, aren't they afraid that if they do this, we will kill Miss Zhen Mi? ”

"Yuan Qiao" said with a gloomy face: "Hmph! For the Yanzhou Army, it's better to kill Zhen Mi than to get Zhen Mi by us, right? Tonight, as agreed, we set off from the manor outside Liyang City. Who knew that the Yanzhou army of Lu Dao suddenly appeared and began to pursue, and we had already prepared, so most of the masters of our Yuan family led the family in the courtyard of the village to resist and cut off the rear for us. We crossed the river with a boat that had already been prepared by the river, and without further ado, we asked Master Zhang Miao to quickly welcome Miss Zhen Mi across the river. ”

Zhang Miao crossed "Yuan Qiao", looked at the person behind "Yuan Qiao", and asked: "These three are ......"

"Yuan Qiao" pretended to be abrupt. He patted his head and said, "I forgot to introduce it." So he introduced the three people behind him to everyone, but everyone despised Zhen Fu, after all, no one would like a traitor, Zhen Fu didn't care at this time, just accompanied by a smiling face, but he was scolding in his heart, seeing everyone's cold attitude towards him, he hoped that the Yanzhou Army's plan could be implemented smoothly, so that this class of Yuan Shu's lackeys would be defeated.

As for Shi A, of course, he used a fake name casually. The surname "Yuan" is also used.

Yuan Jian, a member of the real primitive family, smiled reluctantly and stopped talking, but no one would blame him, but they all thought that he was worried about his brother of the same clan on the other side of the river.

When everyone heard it, it was all their own people. Hurriedly saluted, after all, time was pressed now, and there was no time to be polite.

And at this time. Zhang Miao hurriedly waved his hand under Yuan Qiao's reminder, and the thousand archers quickly withdrew.

The five big boats, which had been standing still in the middle of the river, began to ride the wind and waves again. Slowly coming this way, not for a while. Five large boats had already come to the shore and slowly stopped.

More than 100 ghosts dressed as family members got off the boat one after another, and Zhen Mi, the "Roselle of the World", also came down with a cold face, and the performance was just right.

Zhang Miao saw Zhen Mi, and stepped forward with everyone to greet him, and the words were flooding.

Zhen Mi just looked at them coldly and didn't say a word.

This Zhen Mi is indeed a peerless stunner, this group of big men is respectful to Zhen Mi on the surface, but secretly they are all drooling and staring at Zhen Mi's fairy jade face and graceful figure, even Yuan Jian, who is worried about the poison in his abdomen, is no exception, although he has seen Zhen Mi many times.

Zhen Futouran, who was left out in the cold, felt that his back was tapped, and when he looked back, he found that it was Shi A, and Jianka bowed to Zhen Mi towards him, only then did he remember his task, and hurriedly stepped forward and smiled at Zhen Mi: "Sister, my brother is not wrong, right?" Only the Yuan family is the one who really cares about us, Xu Ji, but he is from a poor family, and he has always been hostile to my family, and he has no ill intentions towards us at all, and his subordinates are even more lawless, I have persuaded my mother and you many times, but you just don't listen. How about now? If the Yanzhou Army really cares about our Zhen family, how can they be desperately chasing and killing now? This is clearly trying to put my sister to death! ”

Of course, it is impossible for Zhen Fu to say such insightful words, these words are from Liang Xi's handwriting. Only these characters who deal with the family all day long can express the mentality of the family in one word.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the family members present all showed surprise, they didn't expect this traitor Zhen Fu to be able to say such insightful words.

Yuan Jian saw that Zhen Fu had finished speaking, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said his lines, pretending to be generous, and snorted coldly: "Miss Zhen Mi, the Yanzhou army thought that we would kill people as a last resort, hum!" I really underestimate my Yuan family, thinking that my Yuan family is the fourth and third prince, how can I do such a despicable thing? Of course, these words are also the handwriting of Liang Xi.

Zhen Mi glanced at Yuan Jian noncommittally and did not refute.

The people on the side hurriedly slapped their ass, and scolded the Yanzhou army even more, hearing that Shi A was furious in his heart, and a pair of tiger eyes flashed fiercely.

Zhang Miao was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting, "Look! What is in the river? It seems to be a floating corpse, and they are all dressed as family members. ”

Yuan Qiao's "complexion changed" and said to Zhang Miao: "It's not good, let's hurry back to Guandu, right?" It looks like we're going to be overwhelmed. ”

Zhang Miao was the most timid, and hurriedly said: "Pole, pole, pole!" Let's go back to Guandu quickly! ”

"Yuan Qiao" shouted: "As long as we return to Guandu, it will be a victory, and we don't have to care about those boats and corpses in the water!" The spies on the river bank don't have to be monitored here, and they can quickly go to various cities to ventilate and report the news! It doesn't help you to stay here. ”

Zhang Miao then remembered the matter of the spies, and hurriedly ordered the spies to evacuate according to the idea of "Yuan Qiao".

The rest of the people were in confusion, and they retreated to Guandu, leaving only the five big boats.

As a result, Shi A and the others smoothly blended into Guandu, and there was no one on the riverside.

Then, the Phantom landed immediately! (To be continued......)
