Soldiers come to the world

Dinghailing City is very rudimentary. There are more than [-] wooden houses sporadically built on high places in the city. This is the warehouse in the city, which stores thousands of shi grains and countless military supplies. Except for these dozen wooden houses, the rest They are all tents, and they are also barracks for soldiers.

Lu Xun was led by a soldier to the largest tent. There were several soldiers standing in front of the tent. A soldier stepped forward to salute, "Commissioner Lu, please come in!"

Lu Xun walked into the large tent, which was covered with wood and looked very dry. There were two people sitting in the innermost part. The person in front of him was Lou Fa, while the person next to him was a middle-aged scribe. Lu Xun felt that he looked familiar. Where do you seem to have seen it?

Seeing that Lu Xun had entered the account, the two stood up quickly, and Lou Fa laughed and said, "Captain Lu should know Mr. Yu, right?"

Lu Xun suddenly realized that this middle-aged man is Yu Fan's younger brother Yu Wang, an important figure in the Yu family in Kuaiji, why is he here?After thinking about it, he immediately realized that Yu Wang came here on that ship just now. He should be He Qi's aide. Could it be that He Qi secretly had contact with the Han army?

Lu Xun was confused, Yu Wang bowed, but smiled slightly: "I said goodbye to my nephew three years ago. I never thought that when we met again, I would be overseas. What a wonderful encounter in life!"

Lu Xun patted his forehead and smiled apologetically, "I didn't expect to see Uncle Shi here. I'm very confused. I hope Uncle Shi will forgive me."

"Actually, I'm also in a mess!" Yu Wang chuckled, he was also shocked that Lu Xun actually surrendered to the Han army, which never occurred to him. It seems that the rumors are true.

"Please sit down, both of you, and I will explain slowly."

The three of them sat down, and Lou Fa first said to Yu Wang, "Dudu Lu is our name. In fact, Dudu Lu is an aide of the King of Han. He came to Jiangdong to mediate under the order of the King of Han, and tried his best to protect the people of Jiangdong."

Yu Wang nodded, "This is also the wish of all Jiangdong's aristocratic families. I don't want Jiangdong to suffer from the flames of war again."

Lu Xun suddenly realized that the Yu family in Kuaiji had also secretly handed in the nomination certificate to the King of Han, but Yu Wang was also He Qi's aide. Whether he came here on behalf of the Yu family or He Qi, Lu Xun still had a choice in his mind. I don't quite understand.

Lou Fa got an order from Liu Jing before he left, asking him to obey Lu Xun's advice. Lou Fa also knew that he didn't know strategy and had to rely on Lu Xun. After looking back, he went ashore, so he didn't have a chance to talk to Lu Xun in detail.

Knowing that Lu Xun must be confused, Lou Fa quickly explained: "Shortly after Sun Ben was destroyed, General He Qi sent Mr. Yu to Chang'an, where he met His Highness the King of Han. General He Qi expressed his willingness to do his best for the unification of the world. Not long after arriving on the island, I sent people to Kuaiji County first, and contacted General He."

Only then did Lu Xun suddenly realize that He Qi had secretly surrendered to the King of Han, which was really unexpected!That being the case, why didn't the King of Han let them retreat to Kuaiji?

But after thinking about it again, it should be Sun Cao who formed an alliance, and the King of Han was not sure about He Qi's attitude, so he didn't dare to take risks and let them come to the island. After all, people like He Qi always put their own interests first.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun smiled at Yu Wang, "Uncle Shi must have brought a letter from General He when he came today."

Yu Wang said apologetically, "Because of the safety at sea, General He didn't ask me to bring my personal letter. I just passed on the oral letter to General He. General He is willing to let the Han army pass through Kuaiji County. You can go ashore at any time."

Lu Xun nodded and said with a smile: "With the help of General He, we will be successful. We will definitely be able to restrain the Jiangdong Army from the back and prevent the Jiangdong Army from fully participating in the Hefei War. must."

"Where! Where! General He just did his best, and Bo Yan is overrepresented."

After a pause, Yu Wang asked again: "I don't know when the Han army is going to go ashore?"

Lu Xun and Lou Fa looked at each other, and Lou Fa smiled and said, "This has not been decided yet, but it should be within ten days. I will send someone to inform General He in advance of the specific time."

The two sides discussed some specific details. Yu Wang hurried back to report and got up to say goodbye. Lu Xun sent him on board and watched the big ship go away. ?”

Lou Fa frowned, "What He Qi means is that he doesn't seem to be planning to send troops to participate in our operation, it's just an excuse."

Lu Xun nodded, "At first I asked Yu Wang if he had He Qi's autographed letter, and Yu Wang said no, so I knew that He Qi still had something left, and he didn't sincerely surrender to the King of Han, so he said it was just an excuse, so I said nothing. It’s not surprising, the cunning rabbit and the three caves, this He Qi is a very cunning old rabbit! If I’m not mistaken, he not only sent people to serve the King of Han, but also sent people to serve Cao Cao. Of course, he also expressed his willingness to surrender to Sun Quan He will never make a final decision until the general trend of the world is settled."

"I don't understand, what is He Qi afraid of? Can't he see that the King of Han is strong?"

Lu Xun sighed slightly, "He is still watching the Hefei War. He is afraid that the King of Han will lose the Hefei War. This kind of person wants to take all the benefits, but he doesn't want the risk at all."

Speaking of this, Lu Xun asked: "When will we land in Kuaiji?"

Lou Fa took out a letter and handed it to Lu Xun, "This is the letter that His Royal Highness the King of Han asked me to forward to you before leaving, you will know after reading it."

Lu Xun quickly took the letter, opened it and read it carefully. In the letter, Liu Jing appointed Sun Shao as the prefect of Kuaiji County, and Yu Wang as the governor of the county. Once He Qi sent someone to the island to contact him, it was time to send troops.

Lu Xun nodded, he understood Liu Jing's deep meaning

Since Sun Ben was killed by the He brothers, Kuaiji County was actually controlled by He Qi. On the one hand, He Qi secretly sent Yu Wang to Chang'an to express his allegiance to Liu Jing. Serve his life, and at the same time express his surrender to Sun Quan.

But no matter who he is loyal to, He Qi will not give up his core interests, that is Kuaiji County, which is his territory, and the [-] Kuaiji Army is his army, he is the king of Kuaiji, even if Liu Jing really seizes the world, he must Acknowledge his special interest in Kuaiji.

When Yu Wang secretly went to Chang'an as an envoy, Liu Jing vaguely agreed to his request, but he only agreed verbally, without any written acknowledgment, so He Qi was still not at ease.

These two days, He Qi was quite troubled, he received a secret letter from Sun Quan, ordering him to send troops to wipe out the Han army on the outer island, this order made him secretly surprised, it turned out that Sun Quan actually knew that the Han army had garrisoned on the outer island.

But he soon discovered from the letter that Sun Quan was not very clear. The letter said that he was asked to look for the Han army on the islands. If he found the Han army, he would immediately destroy it. Evidence, know which island the Han army is on.

This raised a glimmer of hope in He Qi's heart. He didn't want Cao Cao to know that he had secretly communicated with the Han army, and he didn't want the Han army to know that he had a secret relationship with Cao Cao.

Just when He Qi was upset, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and his brother He Jing pushed the door and walked in, saying anxiously: "Brother, there is news from Yin County that an army has landed in Yin County."

He Qi was startled, he didn't care about blaming his brother for pushing the door open without authorization, and asked anxiously, "Has the Han army already landed?"

He Jing shook his head, "It seems to be true. The news from Yin County only said that an army of unknown origin suddenly appeared, with about three to four thousand people."

He Qi walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, feeling a little uncomfortable. They clearly agreed with Yu Wang to send someone to inform him before landing, but now the Han army did not abide by the agreement.

He Qi actually hoped that the Han army would land in Yanguan County on the north bank of Qiantang Bay, and go directly to Wu County, so it has nothing to do with him, but now they have landed in Yin County, what should we do?

"If the eldest brother thinks something is wrong, the younger brother will lead an army to drive them back into the sea."

He Qi waved his hand, "I can't do this, I will offend Liu Jing, I have to do the etiquette that should be done, and I have to leave a way out for myself."

"What did the elder brother say?"

He Qi thought for a while and said, "You and Mr. Yu led a thousand troops to Yin County, and led them to pass through Zhejiang from Qiantang County. They were not allowed to come to Shanyin County, and sent them out of the country."

"Did you see them, brother?"

He Qi hesitated and said, "Let Mr. Yu test their attitude. If Mr. Yu says it is necessary to meet, then I will rush to Qiantang County to meet them. It is best not to see them."

"Little brother understands!"

He Jing saluted and hurried away. He Qi walked to the window, anxious in his heart. He stared blankly at the sky and couldn't help but sighed. If he didn't handle it well this time, Cao Cao might know that he and Liu Jing had secret contacts. , sandwiched between the two major forces, the future is uncertain, which really makes him feel very distressed

Three thousand Han troops landed on the coast of Yin County, traveled westward along the north bank of Tianmen River, and arrived in Yuyao County two days later. At this time, it was getting dark, and Lou Fa ordered the whole army to enter the county to rest.

There used to be more than [-] households in Yuyao County. After experiencing the brutal rule of Sun Ben, a large number of Yuyao County residents fled, and the population of the county town was less than [-] households.

"My subordinate, Li Zi, welcomes all the generals!"

Lu Xun immediately smiled and said, "Magistrate Li, don't be nervous. We just didn't bring a tent. We'll stay in an empty house in the city for one night. We'll leave early tomorrow morning, so we won't disturb the people."

Hearing that they would not disturb the people, County Magistrate Li felt at ease, and quickly said: "There are a lot of vacant houses in the county town, mainly in the east of the city. Please come with me, generals."

Lou Fa shouted an order and led the army to follow the county magistrate towards the east city. At this time, Lu Xun asked with a smile, "I wonder how much grain is in the official warehouse. We plan to buy some. May magistrate Li sell it to us?"

County magistrate Li was a little confused. There were thousands of stones of food stored in the official warehouse. That was the army's food. How could it be sold to the army?

He looked back at this army, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. The armor and clothing didn't look like He Qi's army. He panicked and backed up a few steps in fright. He asked in a trembling voice, "Where are you from? ?”
