Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 32 The first son, fell in Jiangling
To the west of Jiangling City, there is a forest by the lake.

"Lao Luo, spread your guard. If someone says 'I'm a jungler' later, let him in." Liu Chan stood with his hands behind his back, "The rest of the people should not approach."

"Yes."

About two quarters later, a vigorous man came from the direction of Jiangling and entered the woods. He was stopped by Liu Chan's personal guards and let him talk a few words.

The visitor walked up to Liu Chan, knelt on one knee and said, "My subordinate, Wang Meng, see the young general."

This person was dressed in common clothes, with an average appearance, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and he couldn't find a single distinctive feature in his whole body.

It doesn't even match the word "Meng" in his name.

Liu Chan helped him up with a smile: "It's only you and me here, it doesn't have to be like this."

Wang Meng's hand trembled, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he said: "I have stayed here for more than a year, and I didn't react for a while."

"Have you gotten used to it?"

Wang Meng shook his head and smiled wryly: "I'm not used to it, I can assure you that anyone who has served as a soldier under you, Gongsi, will not be used to being under anyone else."

Liu Chan smiled without saying a word.

It's this effect.

Wang Meng continued: "Gong Si, I can't stay here for too long. To make a long story short, Mi Fang has contacts with both Cao Wei and Sun Wu..."

Following Wang Meng's narration, some details that he didn't know before gradually surfaced.

Cao Wei and Sun Wu both sent envoys to contact Mi Fang privately, and they brought generous gifts every time they came, and Mi Fang never refused.

Although I couldn't hear what was said in detail, I think it was nothing more than Xu Yi's high-ranking officials and generous salary to lure him to defect.

Although he didn't seem to agree, he didn't say anything, and even accepted the gift silently.

At this point in time, Liu Chan believed that he would not rebel easily.

No matter how you say it, he is also the old man's second uncle, and it is through this identity that he has his current status.

As far as his ability is concerned, as long as he still has some self-knowledge, he should know that neither Wei nor Wu can give him the same treatment.

But that's not all...

"I have a good personal relationship with a warehouse guard. The money and food stored in the warehouse obviously do not match the amount of the city..."

The difference in the number is so great that even the guards can see it without checking the accounts.

Another example is that Mi Fang sent people to build ordnance, and often the money was withdrawn, but the ordnance was not put into storage for a long time.

In contrast, there are more and more beauties, fine wines, and rare treasures in Fuzhong.

After all, he was born in a merchant's family, so it seems that this kind of thing is still very slippery.

"Mi Fang is often greedy for ink. It's no secret in Jiangling, but I guess other people don't know that he is greedy for so much." Wang Meng showed contempt.

As the prefect of Nanjun, although he can't interfere with the formulation of major policies, but the specific implementation, as well as such trivial logistical matters, I am afraid that Second Uncle Guan has the temperament to have no patience to intervene one by one.

Liu Chan sighed.

Guan Yu is arrogant but not inferior, but even if he is arrogant, it is usually aimed at some unscrupulous dignitaries.

As the old man's first angel investor, Mi's family, even if Mi Fangde is uncooperative, he normally wouldn't have such an attitude.

Now things are clear.

Uncle Guan is a person who is obsessed with his career and wants to make the company bigger and stronger all day long. How can he like this kind of guy?
However, he probably never thought that Mi Fang would do this to such an extent.

It seems that we still need to find an opportunity to remind.

"That's all."

Liu Chan nodded: "I have arranged a group of people in Jiangling City. If you have an urgent matter, you can go to the Zhao's business in the city to contact in code words. If I have an order, I will pass it on to you through their people."

"Yes." Wang Meng clasped his fists in salute, "This subordinate has been out for a long time and needs to go back. Does the Major General have any other orders?"

Liu Chan beckoned for a personal guard, took a cloth bag from his hand and handed it over.

Wang Meng opened it curiously, and inside was a rough cloth.

He raised his head in doubt: "This is...?"

"Your mother made it for you, let me tell you, she is fine with food and clothing, so don't worry about it."

Wang Meng lowered his head silently, hid his face at an angle that Liu Chan could not see, and rewrapped the cloth bag without saying a word.

He knelt down on one knee again and made a big salute.

"It belongs."

After saying that, he turned around and left, holding the cloth bag tightly in his arms.

It seems that the coarse cloth is more precious than the fine Shu brocade.

……

After returning to the city, Liu Chan came to the market in Beicheng.

The market in Gangneung is divided into two cities, the North and the South. The market has a unified time for opening and closing. Whether it is a shop or a vendor, it is under the unified management of the "mayor" established by the government.

Liu Chan found Guanshi Zhao, who was busy at the firm, and regrouped the two hundred old reserve team members he brought.

"Shen Zhong, you are here, and you will stay here temporarily. There is an important task that needs to be completed by you."

"Yes!"

The task Liu Chan entrusted to them was not complicated, but it was difficult to complete.

They need to stay in Jiangling, and they cannot reveal their identities as soldiers. They only act as guards for Zhao's firm on weekdays.

Be ready to receive contact from Wang Meng in Mi Fang's mansion at any time, and fully cooperate with Wang Meng in case of emergency.

If there is a change in Jiangling, for example, the city is empty of troops, and an enemy army enters the city through one gate, they must quickly close the gate between the north and the south, light the beacon fire, and stand firm in the other half of the city for reinforcements.

It's not complicated, anyone who can pass Liu Chan's Anthology can understand it and remember it.

But it is extremely difficult to accomplish.

At that time, how many enemy troops will enter the city, how many defenders in the city are willing to defend, and how many are willing to surrender the city are still unknown.

Liu Chan asked himself countless times, what can these 200 people do, can they do it?
Is it the same as sending them to death if you leave them here?Will they surrender when they know they can't do anything?
But... If you can't do it, you have to do it.

Liu Chan has seen a lot of cruelty in the world, and if he can't bear it a little, he will make a big mess.

Raising soldiers for a thousand days, using them for a while, when it's time to harden his heart, he will not hesitate.

"have you understood?"

"Understood!" There was neither confusion nor doubt in the eyes of the crowd.

The answer was crisp and clear, as always.

It's just to resolutely carry out the order, whether it's training, suppressing bandits, or staying in Jiangling.

"If things don't work out...then just stick to the beacon, it's better to stick around for a little longer."

"Yes!"

No one asked why Liu Chan was so sure that there would be enemy soldiers coming, and no one questioned how the 200 of them would complete these tasks.

This made Liu Chan very relieved. Although he felt unbearable in his heart, he never showed it on his face.

"If this is done, everyone will be rewarded and all will enter the regular army."

"Thank you, Major General!"

"Relax!" It was the military order just now, but now, Liu Chan's expression calmed down, "... If anyone in your family wants to entrust me with something, you can talk about it, big or small."

The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, but did not speak for the time being.

Shen Zhong was originally the commander of the regular army, so he took the lead at this time and said with a smile: "Gongsi, my father will have a backache when it's cold, I saved some leather at home, but I didn't have time to make it into a leather jacket... If I didn't go back , find someone to help me make it for him."

Liu Chan nodded: "I've made a note, don't worry."

After waiting for a while, another person finally stood up: "Major General, my name is..."

"Fan Hu, I came back to Chengdu from Wenshan in the autumn of Jian'an 22." Liu Chan smiled, "Just tell me."

Fan Hu was stunned for a moment, then stuttered about his request.

Seeing this, everyone talked about the things they remembered one by one. Some of them were just trivial things, but Liu Chan patiently wrote them down one by one.

When no one spoke, Liu Chan looked around, cupped his hands and said, "Jiangling is a very important matter, please keep your mission in mind."

Under the leadership of Shen Zhong, everyone said in unison: "Don't dare or forget!"

Being in a busy city, they didn't dare to shout like they were in a military camp.

But the resoluteness in the words is better than before.
