The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 618 617 The Burning Yangtze River (57)

Zhou Yuncong said: "Old General Huang has agreed to the commander-in-chief's conspiracy with the outside world, and also agreed to collect intelligence for the commander-in-chief from the enemy's place. However, General Huang still has one more question."

"What question?" Zhou Yu asked.

Zhou Yuncong said: "The young one has been serving by General Huang's side, and General Huang also needs the young one in many places, so it will not be convenient for the young one to pass messages back and forth between the two armies in the future, and there are many people in the navy army. We all know the younger ones, and if they recognize them, it will be difficult for the younger ones and General Huang to protect themselves. That's why General Huang has doubts. If I don't come to pass the news to the governor, then Who should be in charge of this matter, and the others, General Huang, felt unreliable, so General Huang sent a young man here to ask the governor if he had any good suggestions."

Zhou Yu rolled his eyes, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity. Zhou Yuncong knew the enemy's defense loopholes. If Zhou Yuncong used his own scouts to deliver the message instead, it would be more confidential.Moreover, his own scout army can also come and go between the two armies freely, and it will be more convenient to pass messages.

Therefore, Zhou Yu said to Zhou Yuncong: "I don't think it's better than this. Let our army's scouts serve as the link to connect us with each other."

"But how do we contact these scouts?" Zhou Yuncong asked.

Zhou Yu said: "You don't need to know about this, and you don't need to contact them. Naturally, someone will contact you. At that time, how to contact and what contact method to use are all matters between you and the scouts. The governor can take care of it." Not so much."

Zhou Yuncong said: "Since that's the case, I'll hurry back and report to my general."

Zhou Yu said: "Don't worry, you have come from a long way, let's rest first and then talk..."

Zhou Yuncong said: "The matter is very important, I don't have time to rest, I must go back and report to my general."

"Alright. But, before you leave, can you tell me the pattern, time and place of the enemy's patrols you have discovered? If our army's scouts can also figure out the enemy's movements, then they are between the two armies. Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to pass messages back and forth, and in this way, there will be a lot of benefits for our two armies." Zhou Yu said.

Zhou Yuncong said: "Don't worry, the governor. Another purpose of my trip is to tell the governor about this secret passage. Otherwise, we won't be able to communicate with each other, so how can we cooperate internally and externally. However, Dadu The governor must keep in mind that he must order his subordinate scouts to carry out activities according to the location and time period I mentioned, otherwise, once the enemy finds the loopholes in the defense and the distribution of troops is changed, then we will no longer be able to between the two places."

Zhou Yu said: "This is natural, after all, I also want the news between us to be smooth."

Therefore, Zhou Yuncong immediately told Zhou Yu the secret channel that could communicate between the two armies.Zhou Yu asked someone to bring a map, and while marking it, recorded the timetable for the enemy's defense change that Zhou Yuncong said.Then, Zhou Yuncong was let go, and someone was sent to follow Zhou Yuncong to the riverside. After Zhou Yuncong was safely sent out, the matter was considered over.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu took the secret passage he had just obtained, and sent people to prepare according to the time period and place Zhou Yuncong said. As soon as the time came, he immediately sent people to cross the river by boat. Army there.Then they hid the boat in the reeds on the shore, leaving some people to take care of it, and the rest went to contact the scouts everywhere, telling the scouts lurking inside the enemy army that they had found a secret passage to and from between the two armies.

At the same time, Zhou Yu also sent someone to notify the scouts lurking inside the enemy army, asking them to secretly contact Huang Zhong and be responsible for passing on the news. All other things were temporarily slowed down.

Once this secret passage was opened, in just three days, more than a hundred scouts lurking inside the enemy army secretly returned to Chaisang through this passage, and reported to Zhou Yu the results of their long journey.

Zhou Yu gathered all the information together, and basically found several important pieces of information. The first one is that Sima Yi has lost all prestige in the army, and all the officers and men in the army hate Sima Yi to the bone. Many people thought that Zhang Yan was fatuous, he was very close to Sima Yi, but alienated some loyal ministers and ministers. Many people were heartbroken about this matter, and it was almost time to boil.

In addition, many people in the army were quite critical of Sima Yi, but they dared to be angry and did not dare to speak out. Originally, they all expected Zhang Yan to be the master for them, but they didn't know that Sima Yi used Zhang Yan Zhang Yan was very partial to Sima Yi in terms of sorcery, and even the matter of former general Tai Shici being arrested and imprisoned in the navy prison for half a month was nothing.

These are all the information of nearly a month, and they were all gathered to Sima, the scout army who is Zhou Yu’s fellow countryman, and he brought them back. At this moment, when all the information is placed in front of him again, Zhou Yu will inevitably He would think of the bloody scene of his fellow countrymen. If he could find this secret passage at that time, maybe his passage would not have died.

Zhou Yu let these scouts rest in Chaisang for two days. Two days later, these scouts were sent to the enemy camp by Zhou Yu again. This time, the task given to them was to keep in touch with Huang Zhong at all times and to inquire about the enemy's strength. situation, where the supplies were stored, and rumors spread within the enemy army.

After receiving the mission, the scouts returned to the Han army's camp in batches and calmly. The path they took was exactly the secret passage that Zhou Yuncong told Zhou Yu.

However, this secret passage is not so secret, because the opening of this passage is all a preparation for one thing.The person who opened up this passage was none other than General Pingnan Sima Yi.

Just after Zhou Yu's scouts returned to Chaisang through secret passages, the few remaining scouts were already being targeted by Jin Yiwei. Compared with collecting intelligence, assassinating the enemy's general, and destroying the enemy's rear, Jin Yiwei is not a scout The originator of the army, but it is even more elite troops than scouts.

The original strength of this army is the dead soldiers who were imprisoned in the Futu Temple and received inhuman training. They were cruel, cruel, and ruthless. They once occupied a large part of their hearts. The things they did were all shady things. , Therefore, they have been hidden in the dark.

It was not until the appearance of Zhang Yan that these dead soldiers were liberated and all of them were incorporated into his subordinates. At first they were only used as scouts. The post of Jinyiwei was added, and they became the first batch of Jinyiwei.Since then, everything they have done is aboveboard, which is equivalent to giving them light.

These dead soldiers were grateful for the new life given to them by Zhang Yan, so they were devoted to Zhang Yan, and only listened to Zhang Yan's words. He was Zhang Yan's intelligence force, guards, and a tool for killing people.

Often there are any difficult problems, as long as Jin Yiwei makes a move, they can basically be solved, so Jin Yiwei's way of doing things is unique, which is also the convenience Zhang Yan will give them in the future.Although the power is great, but because of the strict constraints, there is no abuse of power.

Later, due to lack of manpower, Zhang Yan successively selected elite soldiers from the army to serve as Jinyiwei. In this way, the system of Jinyiwei was expanded, so Xu Sheng became the first commander of Jinyiwei.

After almost all the Jiangdong army scouts had withdrawn, Jin Yiwei followed the vine and quickly arrested the potential internal enemy spies. Using various means, they finally found out how to contact them.

Therefore, under Zhang Yan's planning and Sima Yi's suggestion, Jin Yiwei gathered at this so-called secret passage, preparing to wipe out all the Jiangdong army's scouts, and then replace them.

When the scouts of the Jiangdong Army entered the territory of the Han Army through secret passages at different times, what awaited them was a completely unexpected nightmare. All the scouts of the Jiangdong Army were killed.

Immediately afterwards, Sima Yi appeared with three Jiangdong army scouts who had already surrendered. When the three scouts saw the dead bodies of more than 200 scouts, they were all shocked. They secretly rejoiced that they surrendered, otherwise they would end up with them It's no different.

After Sima Yi confirmed that the sniper scouts were done, he took away the three surrendered scouts, and then asked the surrendered scouts to do what he said, and the three of them were the hub of communication. Started to go back and forth frequently between the two armies.

Sima Yi promised that the three scouts would be rewarded with ten gold each time they completed a mission, and they would be promoted to rank after the war.High-ranking officials and generous salary, wealth, fame and fortune made these three scouts completely return to their hearts, and they were willing to work for Sima Yi.

However, Zhou Yu, the commander of the Jiangdong Navy, was completely unaware of all this, and the information he received from the enemy camp one after another was also false.But Zhou Yu, who was kept in the dark, firmly believed in these information. Whenever there was news, he would appear very happy.

Half a month has passed, and this information-based scam is about to come to an end.At this time, Zhou Yu, who was very pessimistic about the situation of the Han army, suddenly made a decision. He wanted to personally lead the water army to Xiazhi to challenge the water army of the Han army. Is the situation the same as what those scouts said.
