"Haha...Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Zhang Fei seemed to have untied the knot in his heart and laughed loudly.

"Well, then I'm leaving..."

After that, Liu Chan left quickly without looking back.

Looking at Liu Chan's retreating back, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "Adou, when will you really grow up..."

His voice was so low that Liu Chan couldn't hear him at all.

But Liu Chan's heart suddenly thumped, but he didn't pay attention.

…

After intensive preparations, in the early morning of the third day, Liu Chan and Xu Shu, with more than ten of Wu Yun's men, plus a Qianlong Army of thirty people, boarded a large merchant ship and sailed from the mouth of the river outside Gong'an City.

, entered the Yangtze River and headed for Yizhou.

This large merchant ship was a renovated small building ship that could have accommodated hundreds of people. After some of the military facilities were removed, it was no longer different from an ordinary merchant ship.

From Gong'an to the border of Yizhou, there was almost a thousand miles of waterway, and they were going upstream. In addition, Liu Chan's improved design was canceled, so they were not moving very fast.

It can only reach forty or fifty miles a day. The journey of more than a thousand miles took almost twenty days.

During these days, according to Liu Chan and Zhang Fei's agreement, they communicated every day, but they only talked about common things, coupled with one or two embarrassing pictures of him on the road.

When he really couldn't find anything interesting to draw, he turned the idea onto his own head.

I changed the form of the modern funny cartoons I saw before and used them to make Zhang Fei happy.

By this time, it was already the end of September, and Cao Cao's army had already set off from Yecheng and headed straight to Jiangdong.

Only this time, when he set out, he did not take Xun Yu with him first.

Instead, he waited until two days after the expedition had started, and then used the emperor's edict to send Xun Yu to chase him in a hurry.

He seemed to have made up his mind to let Xun Yu truly realize what kind of person he, Cao Cao, was this time.

A few days after Cao Cao's army was dispatched, the news spread to Jiangdong.

Sun Quan also began to take action, gradually moving the 70,000 troops he had assembled over the past few days towards Ruxukou and the defense line along the river.

However, in the gap between Cao Cao and Sun Quan's armies preparing for the battle, Xun Chen led Jingzhou's navy to fish in troubled waters.

Every time he took a boat out for a cruise from Jingzhou, although Mingli said he was helping Jiangdong patrol the waterfront to observe its changes, in fact, he kept loading the people along the coast into his big boat.

In just over ten days, he had brought back more than 10,000 people from Jingzhou.

Such results were only the result of him only daring to send out more than ten ships at a time.

Although he was robbing people, he also wanted to conceal the number of boats in Jingzhou to prevent the Jiangdong soldiers from becoming suspicious after seeing it.

However, although there were only more than ten ships at each time, after two or three days, he sent out more than ten large ships.

Nowadays, on the Yangtze River, you can see more than ten ships within a few hundred miles.

Under such circumstances, Xun Chen was equivalent to a "turn operation", which confused Cao's army and Jiangdong's army along the coast.

After all, no one has clairvoyance and can fully see the situation on the Yangtze River.

Jingzhou's navy was busy on the river, but Guan Yu suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

Not long after he arrived in Qingni, he just managed to figure out the surrounding situation, connected with Su Fei who was stationed not far away, and combined the two armies into one.

However, Su Fei's military strength was just less than a thousand, which did not increase Guan Yu's power much.

The day after he completed his defense, Guan Yu caught Cao Jun's spy who had sneaked into Qingni to inquire about the military situation.

After some coercion and inducement, Na Xiaozuo explained the purpose of his trip.

At this time, Le Jin and Wen Pin were preparing to march from Qingni to Jingzhou to contain Jingzhou so that Cao Cao could deal with Sun Quan with all his strength.

At this time, Le Jin had already organized his troops and would attack Qingni soon.

Although Guan Yu was not afraid of Le Jin, he thought that if Xu Shu had not returned, they would have ignored such an important place as Qingni.

And if Su Fei is the only one stationed here, Qingni is likely to be captured by Cao's army, and Jingzhou may also be further threatened.

Moreover, not long ago, he also received news of Cao Cao's departure, and learned that Cao Cao claimed to be heading south with an army of 400,000 people.

In his opinion, even if 400,000 is an intimidating slogan, it will not be less than 100,000.

One hundred thousand troops marched south aggressively. If Sun Quan failed to hold on, and Cao Cao had the remaining troops to direct Jingzhou, they would be in a completely passive situation.

And these things suddenly gathered in his mind, giving him a sense of urgency that he hadn't felt in many years.

…

At this time, Liu Chan had no such worries at all. With the special "pass", they successfully passed the border defenses in Jingzhou and Yizhou.

And this special "pass" is the official business certificate, plus some local products.

No matter in that era, the best way to get rid of the little devils is to let them taste the sweetness.

After passing the first level, and with the seal of Yizhou Customs and Defense, their subsequent journey became much easier.

After parking on the same day, Liu Chan released two homing pigeons after passing the customs, one flew to the Governor's Mansion of the Public Security Bureau, and the other flew to Zhang Fei's military camp.

That night, he received a reply.

In the cabin, Liu Chan took the letter he received and came to the door of Xu's concubine's room.

Because their ship was originally very big, but now there are only a few dozen people on it, so they all have plenty of space to rest.

Liu Chan and Xu Shu lived in the two most comfortable bedrooms. The doors of the two rooms also opened facing each other, making it convenient for them to meet at any time.

"Dong dong..."

"Sir, are you asleep?"

Seeing that the lights in Xu Shu's room had been extinguished, Liu Chan knocked on the door very politely.

"Not yet, the door is not locked, young master, please come in."

Xu Shu answered aloud from inside, and then lit the candle that he had just blown out.

"Kaka..."

"Sir, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. I have two special letters here. Please take a look at them."

Because they became a caravan, Xu Shu became the big boss of the caravan, and Liu Chan was the boss's apprentice, so his title was changed from military advisor to sir.

Xu Shu took the two notes handed over by Liu Chan, read them carefully twice under the light, then raised his head and asked: "Young Master, have you read it?"

"Well, I've already seen it."

After hearing Liu Chan's affirmative answer, Xu Shu placed the two notes on the candle and burned them.
