Chapter 54: Borrowing the Road

Lu Dai is not a fool, nor is he the kind of pedantic ignorant who is ignorant.
In fact, he is very smart!
But the stubbornness and seriousness in his bones made him seem out of place. Liu Chuang felt that the Hailing County Magistrate was really blind. He had such a good laborer but had to try every means to drive Lu Dai away. If Lu Dai really had such a good relationship with Chen Ying, how could he stay in a deserted county and be a minor official? To put it bluntly, he and Chen Ying were probably just ordinary friends and had no friendship.
Otherwise, Lu Dai would have to tell Chen Ying that the Hailing County Magistrate would be in trouble.
It’s not that Lu Dai didn’t want to make things easier, but he just had no way to make things easier, so he kept his stubbornness and seriousness, and swallowed his anger and stayed in Hailing.
In the end, it made me cheaper!
This is the serious talent of the Changshouweng of Dongwu...
"Go to Danyang?"
Lu Dai soon entered the role and shook his head repeatedly.
"Now the guardian of Danyang is Sun He and Sun Bohai, who is the son of Sun Jian's clan and Sun Ce's elder brother.
Sun Bohai is calm and capable, not an ordinary person. If the young master really wants to go to Danyang, he will most likely be blocked by Sun He, which will be inconvenient."
Although Lu Daizu never leaves his home, he knows the situation in Jiangdong very well.
In history, Liu Bei and Lu Bu fought repeatedly, and Sun Ce crossed the river several times. Hailing became the main battlefield of Guangling County and almost turned into ruins. At that time, Lu Dai fled to Jiangdong with his family and took refuge. His understanding of Jiangdong was even better than that of many Jiangdong locals.
After hearing Liu Chuang’s plan, Lu Dai immediately denied it.
Now Jiangdong is in a sensitive period. Sun Ce won a great victory in Kuaiji and drove Liu Yao and Xu Shao away... At this time, Liu Chuang brought hundreds of people from Danyang and would definitely be blocked by Sun He. Your origin is unknown? There are many war horses, how can you let you go?
At this moment, Liu Chuang and others are located on the bank of the north river of the river, east of Danyang.
They had been crossing the Yangtze River for a day, but considering that they had been marching for several days in a row, everyone was very tired and they were temporarily resting by the river.
When Lu Dai asked about the location, he reached out and drew a simple map on the ground.
Liu Chuang couldn't help but exclaim that this guy is indeed amazing. The entire terrain of Jiangdong seemed to be imprinted in his mind and he could pick it up at will.
"We are now on the riverside, and we are heading south to Piling, which takes about one day.
Going west, there are two roads.
One is to go directly to Dantu, and Sun He guards this place.
The other one leads to Qua... Qua'a's side experienced a great battle and was in a state of extreme chaos. Sun Ce took away most of the troops, while the rest stayed with the Dantu. Therefore, it is best for the young master to go west to get out of Qua. Although he would take a little detour, it would be much safer in comparison. More importantly, the young master could replenish supplies in Qua, and then he thought about replenishing supplies, which was quite difficult."
"How do you say this?"
Lu Dai was full of energy and looked confident.
Compared with the unlucky look when Liu Chuang met him in Hailing, he looked like two people.
"Please look... Quake west, there are Jurong, Jiangcheng, Hushu, Moling and other counties along the way, and it is difficult to pass easily. Along the way, there are countless levels, and local tyrants are even more respectful. If the young master does not have many people, they may be able to pass. However, if three hundred people cause misunderstandings, they will create a fierce conflict. In this way, it will inevitably alarm Sun He, and there will be a lot of trouble.
Therefore, I suggest that the young master go south after replenishing his baggage in Qu'a!”
Lu Dai said, drawing a line on the ground.
"There is a barren land between Liyang and Danyang counties, and there is no people in a hundred miles. At that time, we can pass through the two counties and go straight to Niuzhu, cross the river and enter Jiujiang County. Then we pass through Hefei and replenish supplies in Chengde, and then detour through Shaopi and Weize, and go north along the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of the water of
After passing Huai River, it is Xia Cai."
Lu Dai twisted and drew many lines on the ground, which made Liu Chuang and Xu Sheng confused.
This is definitely a living map!
“There are several benefits to choosing this path.
Qu'a, Niuzhu, Liyang, and Chengde can be used as supply points, and there will be no danger, and there will be no intercepting of soldiers."
Liu Chuang couldn't quite understand the map drawn by Lu Dai, but he still thought it was very powerful.
"So, as the sir said."
The change of Duke Ding to "Mr." also indicates that Lu Dai's position in this team has been greatly improved.
Liu Chuang roughly recorded the route Lu Dai said and took Xu Sheng to stand up and say goodbye.
"Young master, my child's affairs..."
"Don't worry, sir, when I return to Yingchuan, the first thing I do after returning to my hometown is to send my two nephews to school."
Liu Chuang shook his head helplessly for Lu Dai's repeated reminders.
He walked out of the military tent, and in a short while, he saw Lu Dai's wife walking in with his two children. Lu Dai's eldest son Ming Kai and second son Ming Xuan followed Lu Dai's wife into the military tent, and saw Lu Dai sitting upright on the mattress, drinking genuinely, with a relaxed look on his face.
"Husband, are you still so free at this time? I'd better find a way to find an opportunity to leave here."
"Why are you powerful?"
"But you just..."
Lu Dai smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal the wife to sit down, and asked the two children to have dinner together, "This time, that time... I didn't understand the young master's character before, but now that I have figured it out, I won't worry anymore. Madam, don't you always advise me to leave Hailing? Now that I have the opportunity and go to Yingchuan, why are you so hesitant? Yingchuan is the place that scholars in the world yearn for the most."
"But Mr. Liu, can you believe it?"
"I have read his genealogy, and he is the descendant of Zhongling Hou and the royal relatives, so he is enough to entrust him.
He is now in a downturn and has no choice but to become a bandit. But as long as he returns to Yingchuan and proves his identity, all problems will be solved. With his family background, the children can get a lot of care after they learn. Even if he doesn't care, he will also get a lot of opportunities in Yingchuan... Haha, I decided to gamble! I believe that this young master Liu can do a career."
After hearing what Lu Dai said, the wife finally felt much more relieved.
"Do you just look up to him like that?"
Lu Dai pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "The Marquis of Zhongling is a role model for scholars in the world and respected by the world.
However, Mr. Liu had no virtues of Zhongling Hou. It can even be said that he occupied all the shortcomings that Zhongling Hou hated."
"Then do you still have a good opinion on him?"
"Madam, if you are governing the world, this person will be difficult for the world to tolerate.
But now you and I are in troubled times, and following such people is the safest. A straight gentleman like Zhongling Hou, it is difficult to live in this troubled times. Therefore, I think that the young master can not only stand out, but also has a heroic posture, use all means to do things, and is cruel and ruthless. Such a person can live better in such troubled times... Madam, believe in my eyes, it will not be mistaken."
For a moment, the lady was silent!
Liu Chuang snatched a lot of good things at the Dongling Pavilion Wharf.
However, most of these things are useless to Liu Chuang. Staying around will become a burden... Liu Chuang originally wanted to discard these goods, but after receiving the reminder of Lu Dai, he decided to find a way to take action in Qu'a.
Qu'a is indeed the best place.
Liu Yao first decided to be the capital of Qu'a, and gathered many wealthy people from Jiangdong.
Now that Qu'a is in chaos, we can take this opportunity to exchange for some useful supplies from the rich merchants.
For example, a healthy servant, such as weapons.
Swords were drawn from Jiangdong, and there was Longquan in Kuaiji County, gathering a large number of casting craftsmen. Unfortunately, Longquan was too far away and was in a war zone. Otherwise, Liu Chuang really wanted to go and see the sword-making sage land that was only famous in later generations but famous in the world. It was a pity!
The next day, before dawn, Liu Chuang and others set off for the road.
The horse army was still leading the way, the convoy was in the middle, heading straight for Qu'a.
Qu'a began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and was named Yunyangyi.
Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, changed Yunyang to Yunyang County, and later changed its name to Qu'a. This is an ancient city with an extremely long history, but its real revitalization began in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, people from all over the country moved to Jiangdong to seek peace. Among them, there were also Fuchun Sun Zhong, Sun Jian and Sun Ce who moved his family to Qu'a. After Sun Ce decided to settle Jiangdong, he also established Qu'a as the "land of the imperial base".
But at this time, Qu'a, as Lu Dai said, had experienced a great war and was in chaos.
Sun Ce was busy leading troops to conquer Liu Yao and Wang Lang, and invaded Wujun, and had no time to properly manage Qua. Therefore, Qua's ancient city seemed very chaotic, with gangsters flooding the streets, and even chaotic soldiers appeared around. The powerful people in the city were all in charge, relying on their power in their hands, hoping to seek greater benefits. When Liu Chuang and his group arrived in Qua, they saw an extremely broken city.
When Liu Chuang and his group arrived, they attracted a lot of attention.
Just looking at the soldiers accompanying the convoy, those guys with bad intentions can only resist the idea of ​​being ready to move.
Liu Chuang ordered his troops to station outside the city, and then asked Pei Shao to take Pei Wei and Changsheng to protect Huang Shao into the city and prepare for the transaction.
Liu Chuang himself did not leave the camp.
They beat Hailing's flag, so they did not arouse too many people's suspicions.
Although Liu Chuang was notorious in Xuzhou, he was still unknown in Jiangdong... In the battle of Fang Xi in Wu County, the eyes of Jiangdong people were mostly concentrated there. Who would pay attention to Xuzhou across the river? Not to mention, the place where Liu Chuang caused trouble was in Donghai County, which was really far from Jiangdong. The trouble he caused later in Guangling County was probably not heard at this time. Even if it came, who would care?
Liu Chuang is now facing an extremely headache, what should he do with Mrs. Gan?
As soon as he stopped the camp, Mi Feng took Mrs. Gan and broke in from outside.
"Big Bear, when will you let Sister Gan go?"
There was no one else in the big tent, so the name of Mian Bu changed.
Since she learned about Liu Chuang's identity, she has always called Liu Chuang "Meng Yan". Now she suddenly became a "big bear", which made Liu Chuang quite uncomfortable. However, Mi Feng was obviously anxious, so she was so rude. If there were others in the big tent, she would probably not be like this.
Mrs. Gan!
Liu Chuang patted his forehead and suddenly felt a headache.
He almost forgot about this matter... If Mi Feng hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have remembered it.
After crossing the river, there is no need to worry about exposing Xingzang. But the question is, how should Mrs. Gan be released? Could it be that I will send someone to send her back?
Liu Chuang is unwilling to do this!
Given his and Liu Bei's persistence, it is dangerous for anyone to send him to him.
"I'm about to tell you about this."
Liu Chuang signaled Mi Feng and Gan Yu to sit down, rub their temples, revealing a look of distress.
To be honest, he had no disgust towards Mrs. Gan. This was a very gentle woman, and she did not cause any trouble to Liu Chuang along the way.
Even in the most difficult times, many people were so tired that they could not move, and Mrs. Gan didn't complain.
This Liu Xuande is really a blessing to marry such a gentle woman.
Liu Chuang looked at Mrs. Gan, then looked at Mi Feng, "The problem now is that I can let the Gan sister go. But the question is, how can she go back?"
"Just send someone to send her back."
"Who will send!"
"this……"
Liu Chuang rubbed his temples and whispered: "Liu Bei must hate me to the core now.
No matter who I send to send my sister to the Gan family back, I will have life worries. For the sake of shopping, your life is valuable. Are the lives of those men who have followed us on a long journey and have never fallen behind and escaped? They follow me to survive, not to die. How can I let them die even though I know that there is a dragon and tiger den ahead? How can I bear it if I do this?"
The elk bit his lip and didn't know how to open his mouth.
Gan Yu had a gentle smile on her face. Looking at Liu Chuang, she looked at her eyes with a look of surprise.
She always felt that Liu Chuang was a vicious person.
However, after being captured by Liu Chuang, she did not see how bad Liu Chuang was... Especially when she learned about Liu Chuang's origin, she couldn't help but feel respect. Naturally, there were also merits from Mian, who would unknowingly say good things to Liu Chuang.
This person is a kind-hearted man!
"But if I don't send someone to escort the Gan sister, I'm afraid she will encounter her first foot.
Duke Lu Ding said that Jiangdong is very chaotic now... The Gan family sister is a beauty again, and she is out... Who can guarantee her safety? I am also having a headache about this, how to place the Gan family sister. But I thought about it for a long time, but I still couldn't come up with a proper and safe way."
Mi Feng also showed embarrassment on his face.
She looked at Liu Chuang and then looked at Mrs. Gan, "Meng Yan, what should I do?"
Liu Chuang did not answer, but looked at Mrs. Gan.
Mrs. Gan's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head, which made people feel pity.
"Madam, what's your idea?"
"I am willing to arrange it by the young master."
This is a child!
Absolutely... In history, this Mrs. Gan seemed to have been obedient. She had been captured many times, but she never complained.
But the more this happens, the more embarrassed Liu Chuang feels.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "I have two ways for my wife to choose."
"Please tell me clearly."
"First, I sent someone to send my wife across the river.
However, I can only send my wife across the river, and at most I can send her to the outside of Jiangdu City, and then I can't continue to escort her. Secondly, if the wife trusts me, she will follow me to Yingchuan. After I return to my ancestors, I will send her wife back. In this way, Liu Bei dares not cause trouble for my people, and the wife can also return safely. The wife can choose any of these two roads, and I will never force her."
"I can only send it to Jiangdu?"
Mi Feng asked softly.
"I can only go to Jiangdu, no matter how far I am, I can't guarantee my husband's safety.
In fact, even if I send it to Jiangdu, I have to take risks. Duke Lu Ding said that if Sun Bohai is guarding the Dantu, the investigation will be strict. If there is anything, none of us can guarantee it... In short, please make a decision as soon as possible, so I can also make arrangements."
"Three Lady, what do you say?"
The elk frowned and gently patted the little head, which was also very distressing.
"I naturally hope my sister is safe, but... if my sister is willing, it would be better to go to Yingchuan first and then go back. This is definitely the best. But I was worried that Liu Bei would have a misunderstanding. When my sister goes back, she may even be wronged."
After saying that, she shook her head vigorously, "It's so troublesome!"
Mi Feng looked at Liu Chuang with a bitter look on his face, "Big Bear, it's all your fault... You said you, why did you kidnap Sister Gan over?"
"I……"
Liu Chuang was speechless.
Mrs. Gan was in her heart for a long time. After a while, she gritted her teeth and whispered: "It is better to choose the safest way than everyone is worried. I will go to Yingchuan with my sister. As for the future, let it go. In short, this is fate!"
Yes, it seems to be fate!
Historically, Mrs. Gan was captured at least more than three times.
Lu Bu should have captured her twice, and Cao Cao once...
Liu Chuang looked at Mrs. Gan and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a cabbage was warded by a pig, but he was still a pig that had been unlucky for most of his life.
Mi Feng didn't have much thought. He heard that Mrs. Gan could walk with her, and he was immediately happy.
This team of people are all stinky men.
There is no one around me who can talk except Xiao Douzi.
Liu Chuang was busy with work, and it was not easy for Mi Feng to disturb him. Along the way, there was a little loneliness... But after Mrs. Gan came, this situation was alleviated. Although Mrs. Gan was not a very knowledgeable woman, she could at least talk to Mi Feng.
Along the way, I won’t be too lonely, it’s a good thing after all.
When Liu Chuang saw Mrs. Gan make a decision, he was relieved.
"It's better to do this. Please write a letter from my wife. I'll find a station in Qu'a to send it to Haixi.
This is better than making the wife embarrassed.”
"Then I'll bother you!"
Mrs. Gan did not refuse, and then said goodbye to Mian Feng and left.
After the two women went out, Liu Chuang sat down and patted his forehead, and finally felt much more relaxed.
After Qu'a has finished replenishing, he will set off again. According to the route designed by Lu Dai, although it is safe, it is indeed a thousand miles away. Liu Chuang even worried that by the time he arrives in Yingchuan, it will be the end of the year. This is not as convenient as later generations, and there is even no road to travel in many places. After a long journey, it is inevitable to work hard.
However, as long as you arrive in Yingchuan, everything is worth it!
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang closed his eyes.
"Report!"
Outside the military tent, Pei Wei's voice came.
"Come on."
Chapter completed!
