The last three kingdoms

Chapter 596 Jinfan Thief

After arriving in Jiangling, he did not encounter any troubles. After entering Wu territory, Liu Yin had already replaced all the boatmen with Wu people. With them as sailors and guides, he could indeed get twice the result with half the effort.

As an important town in Jingzhou, Jiangling is naturally also the main point of Wu people's defense. After Liu Yin arrived in Jiangling, he could indeed feel it.Although the Battle of Xiling, which lasted for two years, was over, Wu's defense on the front line of the Yangtze River showed no signs of weakening. Instead, he used the time between wars to repair and strengthen these fortresses in Jiangling. As a military expert, Liu Yin can judge the quality of Jiangling city defense at a glance. Although it is not perfect, the strength of Jiangling city defense is much more complete than ordinary cities. No matter which army comes to attack Jiangling, it is absolutely A headache.

However, the Wu people's lenient attitude toward merchants was beyond Liu Yin's expectations. Could it be that the Wu people were not worried that spies would sneak into Wu from among these merchants, and they seldom checked merchants who entered Wu from Wei.

But now is the non-war period, maybe the Wu people will relax a little bit, and when it really comes to wartime, it may not be like this.

Liu Yin only stayed in Jiangling for one day. In order to behave more like a businessman, Liu Yin sold off the goods on the ship at the pier market in Jiangling, and then bought a batch of other goods, loaded them on the ship, and traveled along the Jiangxi Go ahead and look in the direction of Yizhou.

It is true that no one has ever doubted Liu Yin. Liu Yin disguised himself as a businessman, and it was indeed very unique. Moreover, Liu Yin's behavior was no different from that of ordinary businessmen. Therefore, in the state of Wu In the territory, it did not attract the slightest attention from others.

On the way back to the west, it is getting closer and closer to Yizhou. Zhang Le and others are eager to return home, waiting every day, hoping to return to Yizhou as soon as possible, and end this wandering journey.

When he arrived near Xiling, several Mengchong fast ships suddenly appeared on the river, flying the flag of Soochow, Liu Yin's face changed drastically, could something be wrong?

Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo, and Ajian were on the verge of a formidable enemy, and even showed their weapons instinctively, watching closely. If Wu Jun really rushed up, he would definitely fight them to the death.

"Put away your weapons!" Liu Yin said sarcastically.The surface of the river is no different from that on land. Once anything happens, it will be very difficult for Liu Yin and his party to get away. As for the fight, it is only a few days with them, no matter what it is, it is impossible to be full of Soochow sailors opponent.If the situation on land is not good, you can still find a chance to escape, but on the vast water, if you really want to escape, you have no will, so Liu Yin ordered them to put away their weapons and not let the Wu State sailors see.

In fact, everyone's worry was meaningless, those Mengchong sailed very fast, and they approached very quickly, and even the appearance of the sailors on the boat could be clearly seen.However, the Wu soldiers on the Mengchong ship did not have any malice, and shouted from a distance: "Merchant ships step aside! Merchant ships step aside!"

Although the Yangtze River is very wide, even near the Xiling Gorge, the width of the river is not low, but the real waterway is limited in scope. Sometimes, even the up and down lines cannot be staggered, and the only way is to stop one side.

At this moment, the Mengchong battleship that suddenly appeared on the river was not hostile, it just drove out the merchant ships occupying the main channel. Now on the Xiling River, besides Liu Yin's merchant ship, there are two other merchant ships that are also in Wu Bing's deportation.

"Damn, how domineering is this on your territory?" Zhang Le complained in a low voice rather dissatisfied.

Liu Yin smiled, but he didn't have any ideas. Under the low eaves, he could not bow his head. He immediately ordered the boatman to pull the boat aside. According to normal circumstances, there are small and medium-sized warships like the Mengchong warship opening the way ahead. If so, there must be a large warship coming from behind.

Sure enough, not long after, a huge building boat could be seen on the river coming from the upper reaches, and the flag on the boat could be seen, which was written with the word "Lu".

Liu Yin's face changed slightly. Now there are only Lu Kang and Lu Kai among the generals with the surname Lu in Eastern Wu. Does the flag on the ship belong to Lu Kang or Lu Kai?According to intelligence, when the Wei army attacked Xiling, Lu Kai had been serving as the governor of Xiling, but after the war, he had already been transferred back to Jianye, and this fleet came from the upper reaches, it is very likely that Lu Kang's flagship.

Soon, the flagship sailed close to Liu Yin's merchant ship, and almost passed by. Compared with the building ship, the merchant ship was nothing compared to the real ship, and it was a class of things at all. Liu Yin quickly noticed that , On top of the building and boat, stands a man, all in military uniform, with piercing eyes, looking at the attitude of the people around him, it seems that this man is the commander in chief.

He is Lu Kang?A doubt flashed in Liu Yin's mind. Obviously, he was most likely to be Lu Kang, but why did he appear here?Could it be that the Battle of Central Shu is over, or does Soochow have other actions?
Lu Kang seemed to be aware that someone was watching, but he still glanced indifferently at the merchant ships that were much lower than the building boats, and didn't pay much attention to them. His detached status made him not pay attention to the differences between these merchant ships. There are other mysteries in the above, he looked dignified, just glanced briefly, and then his gaze was still cast in the direction of Jianye, which is the destination of his trip, Lu Kang didn't know, what was waiting for him? what is it
Just passing by inadvertently, without causing any disturbance, Liu Yin, who returned to the main channel, fell into deep thought. If Lu Kang, who knows the situation in Sichuan best, was transferred away when the battle situation in Central Shu was unclear, The situation will undoubtedly favor Jiang Wei.However, Lu Kang returned to Beijing in a hurry, which seemed to be unusual. Could it be possible that Soochow will take bigger actions next?
What Liu Yin knew was the brutality of Wu Lord Sun Hao. With such a monarch in power, it is indeed not easy for those promising ministers to do something. The transfer of Lu Kang back to Jianye seems to convey a message Signal, Wu's defense on the front line of the Yangtze River will change. This may be due to the Luoyang Incident. Soochow saw the weakening of Wei's power, and it was a good opportunity for him to do it.

Liu Yin was in deep thought, and the boat sailed into Xiling Gorge unknowingly.

Xiling Gorge is the last section of the Three Gorges. It is famous for its dangerous beaches, but these boatmen often beg for food on the Xiajiang River. Jiang Shang lost his voice in front of him: "The Jinfan thief! It's the Jinfan thief!"
