Really, as long as you dare to think, dreams will come true one day, at least now.

Now Zhu Ran is in such an emotion that he doesn't know how to express in words.

Nearly ten days after leading the troops to besiege Jiangling, there was a military report from Jiangxia County - the entire Jingzhou army had returned to help, and Zhu Ran could now withdraw his troops as appropriate.

Zhu Ran read this military newspaper for a long time, thought about it for a long time, and didn't understand it. Why did the Jingzhou army come back to help!!

Don't say that Zhu Ran didn't figure it out, Shi Bao, who was guarding in Jiangling City, didn't figure it out either!!

What the hell is going on?!

Although the Eastern Wu army besieged Jiangling for ten days, Shi Bao, who was guarding Jiangling City, was not in a hurry at all.

There is no shortage of troops, there is no shortage of equipment to defend the city, there is no shortage of food and grass, and even there is no shortage of reinforcements.

It was impossible for the Eastern Wu army to threaten to break the city of Jiangling in a short period of time, and he, the Jiangling defender, did not send any distress letters to the north.

Why did you suddenly return to the army?!

Shi Bao didn't understand this question, and Liao Hua, who was the first batch of leaders to come back to help, didn't he understand that he had said that he would only bring his troops back to help, and the other soldiers would continue to attack Yingchuan County and even Henan County? !

However, Xu Shu's official seal on the military newspaper reminded the two of them that this was not a joke, but a fact, that the Jingzhou Army had really returned to the army.

And the changes in this, not to mention that Shi Bud doesn't know, Zhuge Liang and Zhang Xi, who are far away in Tongguan, also don't know.

Only Xu Shu and others on the Nanyang front knew the real reason for such an accident.

At the beginning, Xu Shu really didn't want to quit the army.

The opportunity is really good, this is not a good fight, I am really sorry for the soldiers who created such a good situation.

Therefore, after Xu Shu learned that Pang Tong had led the troops to the public security and that the back road could be guaranteed for the time being, he gritted his teeth and took the risk and marched to Kunyang with the army.

But just after Xu Shu led his troops to the front line in Kunyang and joined Wang Ji, Deng Ai and others, a very important intelligence document was passed out from the detailed work lurking in Luoyang.

When Xu Shu saw the bag containing this intelligence document, his face changed greatly, and he retired the personal guards in his tent, and immediately sent someone to invite Zhang Fei, Wang Ji, and Deng Ai.

Before the three of them arrived, Xu Shu did not open the paperwork in a hurry, but stared at the three-color thread on the bag, with a solemn face.

The meaning of the three-color line represents the highest level of secret, which is the rule set by Fei Yi, who was still in charge of intelligence work in Xiangyang, at that time, Fei Yi's direct boss was Xu Shu, so Xu Shu knew the meaning of this very well.

But the problem now is that it should be a top-secret document that was passed on through a special channel, but it went through the intelligence channel that was carefully made in the army, which is not right, and it should not be like this.

This is also the reason why Xu Shu did not open the bag for the time being and took out the information in it, if it is really a major change in the intelligence front, then Xu Shu needs someone to witness this matter together, otherwise it will be easy to say in the future.

With Xu Shu's status and status, he doesn't have to worry about his own safety, mainly to have a proper explanation for those high-level spies lurking in Luoyang and even in Yecheng.

In these years, it is common for the three countries to send each other to work in detail, but most of the general work is to pretend to be a pawn of a trader or a merchant to collect intelligence, and there are many people in this kind of work, as long as you look for it carefully, there is no situation that you can't find it.

But there are some subtleties, which are more advanced existences. Some people even need to penetrate into the upper echelons of the enemy country to obtain more important information.

These people are rare talents, and unlike those ordinary meticulous works, they cannot be easily lost.

And the person who can be qualified to use this highest-level tricolor line to transmit intelligence can only be that kind of high-level spy personnel.

So, it's better to be cautious.

After a while, Zhang Fei and the others arrived at Xu Shu's camp, and at this time, Xu Shu began to tell the uninformed Zhang Fei and others about the importance of this information.

Except for Zhang Fei, who didn't quite understand, the remaining three people had already understood the seriousness of this matter.

Zhang Fei can't be blamed, after all, Zhang Fei's temperament is there, he really doesn't know the source of intelligence, as a general commanding operations on the frontal battlefield, he only cares about the accuracy of intelligence, as for how the intelligence came from, he doesn't have this sensitivity.

Anyway, the source and authenticity of the information that can be put in front of him must have been confirmed by the people below.

But Wang Ji and Deng Ai are different.

Wang Ji is a perennial person who presides over the military and politics of Jingzhou, he knows the importance of this front, and although Deng Ai is also a first-line general, his personality is somewhat knowledgeable about this aspect of things.

Therefore, when this supreme spy appeared on the front line in Kunyang through the channel that should not belong to it, both of them subconsciously felt strange.

Finally, under the joint witness of the three of them, Xu Shu opened the document bag, took out the documents inside, personally checked the integrity of the fire paint, and then opened the letter in person.

Xu Shu took out the letter inside, just glanced at it roughly, and handed it to Wang Ji beside him.

And Wang Ji took it and looked at it for a while, looking surprised. It's just an ordinary letter from home.

It was a Xiangyang businessman who went to Luoyang to do business, and he wrote a letter to his family to report his safety, nothing special.

But Wang Ji is not a fool, how could this kind of letter be transmitted to Kunyang through the fine channel in the army, and the top secret three-color line was hung up?!

In Wang Ji's mind, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed, and he asked Xu Shu in a low voice, "Could it be. This book is written in the Zhou Fu Yin book?! ”

Zhou Fuyin's book, which is part of "Liutao", is dedicated to how to encrypt military intelligence. This is more complicated to say, to put it simply, it is a text in the ordinary sense, and by comparing the content on the Zhou Fuyin book, you can interpret different meanings.

It is rumored that Prime Minister Zhuge is familiar with "Liutao", if this high-level information is written to him, it is reasonable, after all, Prime Minister Zhuge can really read it.

But the question is who has watched "Liutao" at the scene, can they understand what the real content is written in this letter?!

This question is actually easy to answer - in the early years, when Xu Shu lived in Zhuge Liang's house, he once borrowed and read "Liutao", and he also had contact with Zhou Fuyin's book.

But. Xu Shu didn't answer Wang Ji's question at all, because what Wang Ji was holding in his hand was just an ordinary family letter, and it had nothing to do with Zhou Fuyin's book.

What really matters is not the letter paper, but the envelope Xu Shu carefully cut the envelope, and then took the envelope close to the candle flame and grilled it a little, and the envelope, which originally had nothing, slowly showed traces of words.

This is not an advanced operation in later generations, and people who have studied chemistry in junior high school will do it, but in this era. Wang Ji almost popped his eyes out.

But at this time, Wang Ji also knew that it was not the time to ask about the principle, and the focus was to make the information passed on.

After Xu Shu finished reading the contents of the envelope, on the one hand, he understood why the letter was passed through the highest-grade three-color thread, but it was passed through the fine channel in the army, and on the other hand, his brows were furrowed.

Please report that Cao Rong urgently mobilized in Luoyang, launched a policy of drawing one out of three to the people of Tuntian, and is rapidly exploding troops in preparation for the defensive battle of Luoyang in the future.

This is not a new thing, the tuntian system formulated by Cao Cao at the beginning, one of the effects of which is to draw one of the three dings when necessary, and use it for a large number of soldiers.

Although the morale and combat ability of the soldiers who burst out in this way are worrying, the problem is that in the entire Sili area, there are more than 300,000 registered Tuntian men, and if you really want to explode troops to the limit like Cao Rong, you can get nearly 100,000 Tuntian soldiers in an instant.

The price of this is to waste an entire year's income from the tuntian, and it may also cause turmoil in the tuntian system in the future. But if Cao Ei feels the need, the price is worth it.

The most important thing is that through Cao Ei's policy, Xu Shu and others can realize one thing - Cao Ei is still full of courage and has no idea of evacuating Si Li, on the contrary, he wants to compete with the Han in Si Li!!

In this way, the next battle will not be easy to fight.

As long as the Kunyang Wei army in front of him can buy enough time for Cao Rong to train the Tuntian soldiers and initially form combat effectiveness. More than 100,000 Tuntian soldiers guarded Luoyang, and it was really difficult to say whether they would win or lose.

This time doesn't need to be too long, and sticking to it for a month is basically enough.

If that's all it takes, that's it, but the letter also mentions another thing - Cao Rong finally reached an agreement with the clans in the Sili region through a deal.

The Sili family will choose to continue to support Cao Wei and support Cao Heng to stick to Luoyang.

This is the most important thing, and it is also the reason why this secret report can be hung with a three-color line.

Cao Rong carried out three draws on the people of Tuntian, as long as he was in Luoyang and carefully observed, it was not difficult to find that ordinary fine work could also be done.

But Cao Rong and the Sili family reached an agreement through the exchange of interests, and the content of the exchange can be clarified. This person, within the Cao Wei Group, must have a low status.

It is not too difficult for such a person to pass on the information and hang the three-color line.

The only thing that can't be sure is that even Xu Shu doesn't know who this senior spy who has been mixed into Cao Wei's internal high-level is.

On this secret letter, due to confidentiality factors, there will not be too much identity information, and the only evidence is that there is a very small word "Liu" in the place where the letter is signed.

This word is very imaginative.

Hawkers, I don't care who this person is for the time being, after all, this is not Xu Shu's business, I really have to be curious, just go to Chang'an after the war and ask Kong Ming.

Now, the main purpose is to discuss this information - if Cao Wei is really determined to hold Luoyang, and even does not hesitate to use the people of Tuntian to bomb the army, how to fight next.

Yes, how to fight, not how to do . At least at this time, Xu Shu still had no intention of retreating.

100,000 Tuntian soldiers, which sounds like a lot, but what the combat power is is unknown.

This is a situation of both risk and opportunity.

The 100,000 Tuntian soldiers, as well as the support of the Sili family, were enough to give Cao Ei the confidence to continue to hold on to Luoyang, and similarly, for the Han Dynasty, as long as he broke the Wei army in Kunyang and then turned around to defeat the 100,000 Tuntian soldiers, there was hope that Cao Ei would be trapped in Luoyang directly.

If Luoyang can be decided in a battle and Cao Rong can be captured alive, I am afraid that the entire Central Plains and even Hebei can be passed on and decided, which is the result of maximizing the interests of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, whether it is Zhang Fei or Xu Shu, at this time, he still wants to break through Cao Zhen and Sima Yi's army in front of him as soon as possible, and then march into Henan.

Anyway, let's talk about it.

Can. Less than five days after the official start of the war between the two sides, people from Wancheng came.

It was "Guan Suo" who came, and her appearance made everyone's hearts chuckle.
