Go to the countryside.

Zhou Yi sat on a boulder, looking at the field still shrouded in night, his brows furrowed like a pimple.

Zhou Yin disappeared under his rule, and a Zhou family tribe who escaped by luck rushed to Wuchang and reported to the crown princess Zhou, saying that he had instigated the incident. The crown princess wrote a letter to the crown prince Sun Deng, and Sun Deng asked him to deal with the matter as soon as possible, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the Jianghuai family. Zhou Yi knew the sensitivity of this matter, and did not dare to slack off, so he rushed back to Luling overnight to investigate the matter thoroughly, and after more than a month of investigation, the whole thing was still confusing.

The Zhou family said that the leader was called Fei Yang, and after Zhou Yi came back, he summoned Fei Yang as soon as possible, but the strange thing was that Fei Yang did not come to see him for a long time, and the scout came back and said that Fei Yang was not in the area he often haunted, so he could not be contacted at all. This clue is a paragraph, Zhou Yi was taken aback, Fei Yang has a close connection with him, and these connections are invisible, once exposed, I am afraid it will cause an uproar, and even Sun Quan can't hide it for him. Fei Yang disappeared suddenly, and there was no warning in advance, it was by no means as simple as a coincidence, I was afraid that someone had deliberately set up a situation to deal with him.

Zhou Yi suspected that the matter of his trip to Hepu might have been leaked, otherwise he would not be able to explain the coincidence of time.

As soon as this thought popped up, Zhou Yi couldn't help but shudder. His going to Hepu is a very confidential matter, and few people even know about it in the Taishou Mansion, and the other party actually smelled it, so he set up a bureau and put him on an unclear and unexplained charge, which is not unintelligent. Recalling the before and after in Hepu, Zhou Yi had an ominous feeling in his heart. For the harvest in Hepu, he does not have the joy of success now, only a kind of bitterness that has been fooled.

Presumably Cao Xiu was also in this mood back then.

They stayed in Hepu for a few months and learned a lot of information, but the most fundamental Jishu secret was still not obtained, but they accidentally learned that Wei Ba was building a giant warship. Of course, this news is very important, but this news will not help the promotion of Wu Guo's warship Jishu, it will only increase Wu Guo's fear, and from the perspective of the psychological contest between the two sides, this news is obviously a very demoralizing news. It will only weaken the psychology of the monarchs and ministers of the Wu State. There will be no beneficial help.

After Fei Yang's clue was broken, Zhou Yi put a lot of effort into it, and finally found the clue of the group's evacuation, zuihou. He climbed over the mountain. Came to the countryside.

Shangxiang is already within the territory of Guiyang County. The glowing belt in front is Mushui, and along Mushui, you can go all the way to Hengyang.

Zhou Yi has a conclusion in his heart. Nine times out of ten, Zhou Yin was taken captive by Wei Ba. He thought of the Wuling Pan businessman, and the familiar back resurfaced in his mind. Zhou Yi had been thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this person. He hadn't had time to see Pan Jun yet, and he didn't know if there was really such a person in the Pan family, but he still felt that this person was very suspicious.

When I met that person, it seemed to be near Hengyang.

"My lord, do you still want to chase it?" A personal guard walked over and handed Zhou Yi a piece of cake.

Zhou Yi shook his head, took the cake and took a bite, chewing it slowly. It's been so long that there's no point in chasing. Wei Ba will not admit it, today is the first day of October, if no agreement is reached, the war may have started in Linxiang and Yiyang, whether Zhou Yin is dead or alive, the overall situation has been decided.

"Is there anything unusual in the neighborhood?" Zhou Yi asked casually, he tracked it down, not only to find the whereabouts of Zhou Yin's disappearance, but also to investigate the military movements of the Shu Han army.

"Not yet." The guard shook his head and looked at the dark valley in front of him: "We have sent people to check on several roads nearby, and we have not found any traces of the movement of the brigade. ”

Zhou Yi nodded and didn't ask again. In his opinion, it is not very likely that Wei Ba will send troops over Luoxiao Mountain and enter Luling County.

……

Luling County governs Gaochang, and the morning light illuminates the city wall, and also illuminates Deng Ai's bloodshot eyes.

After three days and three nights of trekking, he finally reached his destination at dawn. This is the road he has already traveled. Not long ago, when Yinfan, Peng Heng and others went deep into Luling to kidnap Zhou Yin, he took three hundred elites to hide in the stone mountain in the south of Gaochang City to respond. From that time on, he paid attention to the geography of the vicinity, knowing where to sneak and where to camp without being easily noticed.

These experiences came from the Shanyue barbarians who had just been recruited, as well as those fine works under Peng Heng, it was these fine works that discovered Zhou Yin, and also noticed the possibility that Zhou Yi was not in Luling County, which contributed to the success of the robbery, and of course led Deng Ai to go back to this road first.

Looking at the city gate that had just opened in the distance, Deng Ai smiled. He waved his hand, and the fifty Shanyue barbarians took off their standard armor, untied the standard war knife at their waists, put on a tattered clothes, hung a worn-out firewood knife on their waists, and then carried a bundle of firewood, and took away the shrewdness in their eyes, and in a blink of an eye, they became authentic local firewoodmen.

"General, here we go."

"Be careful." Deng Ai carefully checked it, and said a few more words, and then watched the fifty barbarians walk out of the valley one after another and walk towards Gaochang City.

These people were originally locals, but they were just evaders, so they hid in the mountains to become a coward, and Zuihou moved to Guiyang and became Deng Ai's subordinates. They are seamless in appearance and accent, and this kind of thing is often done in the past, and no one can think of finding flaws in their appearance. As the weather grew colder, the rich families in the city needed a large amount of firewood and charcoal, and there were people who went into the city to sell firewood and deliver charcoal every day, and the soldiers on duty at the city gate did not even bother to look at it, but according to the custom, they drew two sticks from each bundle of firewood and let them in.

It took about an hour for fifty barbarians to divide into several groups and easily infiltrate the city. At this time, the first busy peak of the morning had passed, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were relieved, some went to breakfast, some gathered together to brag, and no one realized that the danger was approaching.

This characteristic has long been clearly understood by Deng Ai. He looked at the city, saw the pillar of green smoke, waved his hand, and gave the order to attack.

The five hundred pioneer battalions came out of their hideouts and walked from different directions towards the city gates. They walked faster and faster, and by the time they reached the city gate, they had already formed a sagittal charge formation, roaring towards the city gate.

The Wu sergeant on the city wall noticed that something was wrong and immediately reported the team rate. The team that was eating breakfast in the city tower came out and was dumbfounded. Where did these sudden outpouring of enemies come from? He didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, pull up the drawbridge, and report to the Taishou Mansion.

The city gate was rumbling shut, and it was about to close, but the soldiers in the city gate cave found a problem, and the city gate was stuck with a few pieces of firewood, and it couldn't be closed. And this firewood is obviously the profit market they forced to harvest in the morning. Just as they were hurriedly pulling out the firewood, more than 20 people suddenly came out of the city, and they brandished firewood knives, slashed and killed, and in an instant, they hacked to death several Wu soldiers.

The city gates were in turmoil.

The team leader on the city wall heard the shouting and killing sound in the hole of the city gate, was shocked, turned around, and was just about to give the order to pull up the drawbridge, twenty or thirty people who looked like people rushed up, some rushed to the front of the drawbridge, and cut the cable of the drawbridge with a few knives, and the other people rushed to the front of the hanging gate, and stuffed the firewood in their hands into the wheel, and then lined up back to back, and protected the wheel.

Sergeant Wu was dumbfounded.

There was a surprise attack on the city gates, the city gates could not be closed, the drawbridge was cut down, the hanging gate wheels were plugged again, and the three lines of defense were lost at the same time, and the city gates were guarded by only fifty soldiers, and it was impossible to stop the enemy who was rapidly approaching. There are still more than 3,000 defenders in the city, but the city gate has been broken, and these more than 3,000 people probably can't help.

Before the Wu soldiers came to their senses, the five hundred vanguard battalions had already rushed into the city and controlled the city gates, and then, Deng Ai entered the city with three thousand main forces, and the three thousand main forces of the Wu army had just been assembled, and before they had time to walk on the city wall, Deng Ai had already controlled several city gates and surrounded the barracks.

Seeing the more than 3,000 enemy troops in a strict and murderous formation, and then looking at the battle flag of the Shu Han army flying high on the city tower, the fighting spirit of the Wu army was completely lost, and they raised their hands to surrender. The strength of the two sides is similar, but the other party is prepared, these people are well-trained elites at a glance, almost all of them are barbarians who are fierce and good at fighting, not comparable to their ordinary county soldiers, and the Shu Han army is famous for being able to fight, and the auxiliary general Lu Xun is not an opponent, and their Taishou Zhou Yi is not in the city, and the dragons are leaderless, who is willing to jump out and fight against these tough enemies.

Deng Ai took over the Luling Taishou Mansion, and used the seals of the Cao of the Taishou Mansion to summon the county magistrates of the nearby counties to Gaochang. Just after the autumn harvest, the account books of the counties have just arrived in Gaochang, and no one can guarantee that there is no mistake in their accounts, and those county magistrates are ready to go to the Taishou Mansion to deal with inquiries, and no one doubts the order issued by Deng Ai, and rushed to Gaochang with relevant personnel.

……

In the depths of Luoxiao Mountain, Zhou Yi trekked on the rugged mountain road, although he was used to walking the mountain road, he was still a little powerless, and almost twisted his waist several times. Zhou Yin's whereabouts are unknown, he has no way to explain to the crown princess, let alone clear Sun Quan's suspicion, which is a great shadow on his career. However, now he is more concerned about Linxiang and Yiyang. Today is the first day of October, Changsha is likely to have started a war, Zhuge Ke of Linxiang is facing Wei Ba himself, and the one stationed in Yiyang is the crown prince Sun Deng. Especially in Yiyang, if the crown prince Sun Deng is injured or has any mistakes, then the loss of Wu Guo will be great.

Zhou Yi was worried about the war in Changsha, but he didn't know that Deng Ai had laid a trap for him in front of him: two thousand elites were waiting quietly in the valley, waiting for him to throw himself into the net...... (To be continued......)

PS: Add more to, ask for a monthly pass.

For three days in a row, Lao Zhuang has a good attitude, you give some encouragement, check the purse, and the monthly pass, hurry up and vote for Lao Zhuang. There are only two days left in February, but you can't drop the chain in Zuihou for two days, it won't be too shocking.
