After a while, General Yan Guo's Military Advisor and Chief Military Advisor Jia Xu rushed over from behind. Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately frowned and knew very well why Gao Fei called him over.
As soon as he got off the horse, Jia Xu walked to Gao Fei's side, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, Cao Cao is still on the run, and now the Chu army is eyeing him again. Our army has suffered so much, and the Central Plains we captured must not be divided up like this."
We must find a way to make the Chu army retreat without a fight."
Gao Fei nodded and said: "I called you here for this very reason. I wonder if the military advisor has any good strategies to defeat others without fighting?"
Jia Xu thought for a while and then replied: "My lord, the envoy of the State of Wu, Kan Ze, is in Chenliu, and Sun Ce, the grand duke of King Wu, has disappeared mysteriously. Why not make a fuss about this matter and say that Liu Bei was at Sun Ce's return home?"
Generals on the way
Ce was captured and killed. Sun Jian would be shocked after hearing this. He would definitely avenge Sun Ce and mobilize all the troops from the country to attack Chu. Once the Chu army learned that the Wu army was attacking Chu, they would definitely withdraw from the Central Plains."
"My lord, this is a very clever plan, and I agree with it." After hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded repeatedly.
Gao Fei thought for a while and said: "Although this plan is good, there is indeed no news from Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su. If the news we gave reaches Soochow, and Sun Ce suddenly appears, Sun Wentai will definitely
He thinks I am deceiving him. Zang Ba has just occupied Xuzhou, and Xuzhou and Yangzhou are adjacent to each other. I am worried that Sun Wentai will make some changes."
Jia Xu said: "My lord's worries are not unreasonable, but my subordinates will definitely do this perfectly. I still remember what Sun Ce was wearing when he came here, so I can ask the tailor to make exactly the same clothes."
, and then find someone among the surrendered soldiers who is about the same age and build as Sun Ce, then disfigure his face and cut off his limbs.
We can just give it to Kan Ze to figure it out, and Kan Ze won't be able to identify who it is. As long as Kan Ze believes it is true, even if Sun Ce suddenly appears in the future, we can use this to shirk responsibility. In addition, Bian Xi is stepping up his search.
Once Sun Ce's whereabouts are found, we will immediately mobilize our troops and generals to kill him, thus eliminating Sun Ce's threat."
After listening to this, Gao Fei showed a sly smile on his face and said: "It is indeed a poisonous plan. Just follow what the military advisor said. This matter must be done flawlessly. In addition, send more manpower to find Sun Ce as soon as possible."
His whereabouts are to be seen alive and his body is to be seen dead, I don’t believe he can disappear from this world!”
"promise!"
"Zilong, lead a thousand cavalry with me. Follow this road to Hulao Pass. There is still a certain distance to Hulao Pass. As long as we keep pursuing, we will definitely be able to catch up with Cao Cao. Military Advisor, you will lead us
Everyone else will go to Yangdi, and you will be in charge of Yangdi.
, Liu Bei will definitely be afraid. In addition, send an order to Chen Dao and ask him to intercept Cao Cao. Try not to let Cao Cao reach Hulao Pass. If he sees Cao Cao, he will be killed without mercy! Send an order to Huang Zhong and ask him to kill him without mercy.
The news of Sun Ce’s death was notified to Wu State in advance.”
"promise!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yun summoned a thousand cavalry and followed Gao Fei in the direction of Hulao Pass. While Jia Xu sent a flying pigeon message to Huang Zhong, he took Wei Yan, Chu Yan and others away from here, while stating
When they arrived, Huang Zhong sent flying pigeons to deliver the message.
……………………
Yan State, Yecheng.
With smooth roads, well-planned shops, and an endless stream of pedestrians, the streets are very noisy, with an endless stream of hawkers and all kinds of people.
"Sir, it's been almost half a month. After we crossed the Yellow River, we walked all the way. What we saw along the way was a peaceful atmosphere. Everyone here seemed to be very happy, and the people we met were...
If a person doesn't say good things about the country of Yan, what kind of magic power does he have that makes so many people praise him?" A young man wearing ordinary people's clothes and a bamboo hat was walking on the street, looking at the people in the city.
The people asked in confusion.
In front of the young man, there was a young man walking. Although he was also wearing ordinary people's clothes, his heroic spirit could not be concealed. The young man was walking in the market and saw a restaurant not far ahead, so he pointed at it.
The restaurant said: "Youping, Zijing, you must be tired. You have walked for such a long time, and you have traveled across mountains and rivers. It is not easy to come to Yan country. If you don't try the wine of Hebei, it will be in vain."
Once?"
"Sir, I'm afraid this is bad. We walked all the way from Liyang in disguise. The people in the restaurant are talkative. If we encounter any accident and expose our identity, it will be really more than the gain." The young man who spoke earlier was the young man who spoke earlier.
The boy called Zijing, Zijing was his surname, and his name was Lu Su.
There was a burly man beside Lu Su. That man was Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping, and the young man in front of them was Sun Ce.
More than half a month ago, Sun Ce, Lu Su, and Zhou Tai took advantage of the imprisoned Dian Wei to cause trouble, and when Wen Chou went to take care of Dian Wei, they left the Yan army without saying goodbye. The three of them originally planned to return to Wu, but they left
Halfway through, Sun Ce suddenly changed his mind and said he was going to visit Yan State. He said he wanted to inquire about the people of Yan State and wanted to know why the people of Yan State supported Gao Fei so much.
At that time, Lu Su and Zhou Tai strongly opposed it, but they could not overcome Sun Ce's insistence and finally agreed.
Later, Lu Su came up with a plan to temporarily infiltrate into the Yan army, and then waited by the Yellow River. It happened that the Yan army was transported to the south bank by a big ship, so they got on the boat and returned to Hebei by boat.
, and then went all the way north, disguised along the way, and finally arrived at Yecheng.
As soon as he heard about drinking, Zhou Tai's eyes gleamed. Thinking about how he slept and slept in the open, he never had a good meal or a sip of good wine. Now that Sun Ce had proposed it, of course he agreed.
, he followed Sun Ce and walked forward, shouting excitedly: "Okay, okay, let's go drink."
Lu Su frowned, stopped Sun Ce and Zhou Tai, and said, "No, drinking can easily cause trouble. It's best not to drink. We are in Yan State now, not in... In short, if it doesn't work, it won't work!"
"Master, what should I do if Mr. Zijing won't let me go?" Zhou Tai sighed, turned to look at Sun Ce, and asked.
Sun Ce smiled and said: "Zijing won't drink, let's go drink, the money is on you anyway."
"That's right." Zhou Tai smiled, rolled his eyes at Lu Su, and followed Sun Ce.
Lu Su looked embarrassed, touched his shriveled belly, and said, "Let's go! It's just this once, it won't happen next time."
The three of them came to a restaurant together. As soon as they entered the door, Zhou Tai shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, if you have any good wine or food, just bring it."
It was not lunch time at this time, so there were not many people in the store. Apart from the store owner and the waiter, there were only three people, Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su.
When the shop owner heard that Zhou Tai spoke with a foreign accent, he came over with a smile and said: "The accents of the three of you, it seems that they are not from Jizhou. We Jizhou people are the most hospitable. If you want to order anything, you can ask us, small shop
Just do as you’re told.”
"Well, we are from out of town, and we are going to Jicheng. We passed by here and we happened to be hungry. Shopkeeper, if you have any good food and wine in your shop, feel free to order them. We will not give you less money." Lu Su sat down.
After he finished, he replied.
The shopkeeper said: "Okay, okay, please wait a moment. Guys, serve wine to the three guests."
The waiter brought a jug of wine and said, "You three gentlemen, please take your time."
"Wait a minute!" Zhou Tai glanced at the jug and was very dissatisfied. He grabbed the waiter's arm and said, "Can you exchange the whole jar of wine? Such a small amount is not enough!"
The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, just come. How much do you want?"
"Let's go to the three altars first!" Zhou Tai said boldly.
The waiter at the shop was overjoyed, thinking that business was coming, so he immediately picked up three large jars of wine. After putting them down, he was about to leave, but was grabbed by Sun Ce.
"Any other instructions, sir?" the waiter asked.
Sun Ce chuckled and said, "Little brother, I want to ask you something."
"Excuse me, sir."
Sun Ce asked slowly: "We escaped from the Wei State. There was a war in the Central Plains. We were afraid of being affected. We heard that the Yan State was stable, so we came over. I heard that the King of Yan exempted the territory of the Yan State except Youzhou
Three years of taxation, and as long as people from other prefectures and counties migrate to Yan State, they can be allocated fields, build houses, settle down, and enjoy the same tax exemptions. Is this true? "
"Of course it's true. The common people in Yan State have not paid taxes for almost two years. Of course, except for those in Youzhou, because Youzhou has exempted taxes before, so it will no longer be exempted."
Sun Ce asked curiously: "If we don't collect taxes, how can we support so many troops? Without taxes, the treasury will be empty. Then won't the government be drinking from the northwest wind?"
"The guest officials are indeed outsiders, but in Yan State, the government does not rely on taxes."
“If you don’t rely on taxes, what will you rely on?”
"By mining."
"Mining? What kind of mine?" Sun Ce asked as he became more and more bizarre as he listened.
"The mined gold, silver, copper, coal, iron ore and other minerals are all controlled by the government. The gold and silver mined every year is enough to maintain the hundreds of thousands of troops of Yan State. Moreover,
, In addition, as long as the people need it, they can also be sold to the people. In other words, the government also does business and does business, so most of the government’s money comes from money from sales.”
After Sun Ce heard this, he let go of the waiter. With the various information he got along the way, his thoughts were expanded bit by bit, and his brows became tighter and tighter. He was thinking, if all these
If we place it in the State of Wu, then can the State of Wu be like the State of Yan?
When Lu Su saw Sun Ce's imitation, he whispered: "Sir, we don't collect taxes here. We also help the people reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy and roads, and also provide housing for immigrants. No wonder the people are so supportive. Master, I see
Let’s not go to Jicheng. It’s almost time. It’s time to go back. We’ve been out for a long time, so as not to worry the king..."
"Shopkeeper, I have your letter. The flying pigeon has arrived." The waiter ran in from outside with a pigeon in his arms and shouted loudly.
Sun Ce took a curious look. At this glance, he remembered that the soldiers of the Yan army often released such pigeons, and hurriedly shouted to the waiter: "Where can you sell flying pigeons to pass down books?"
"Sell? This is not for sale. This is for the army only. If our shopkeeper's clan brother was not a military commander, he would not be able to get this kind of thing. This is a tool for our Yan army to transmit information. It is faster than using scouts to transmit information.
There are more, and the manpower consumed has also been reduced. Our shopkeeper saw this as convenient, so he got two from the army through connections. One is placed at our house and the other is placed here. What happened?
, you can have it delivered to you." The waiter explained.
"It's so amazing!" Sun Ce admired it and asked hurriedly: "How can I buy it? I'll pay ten times the price!"
"This isn't mine. I can't make the decision. I have to ask our shopkeeper. If he doesn't want to sell it..."
At this time, the shop owner just finished ordering the chef from the back to cook the dishes and walked out. As soon as he walked out, he heard that Sun Ce had offered ten times the price to buy his homing pigeon, and he happily said: "Will you?"
, I am willing to sell it, but if I don’t sell it for ten times the price, then I am a fool!”
Sun Ce hurriedly asked: "Boss, how should I use this so-called flying pigeon to pass messages?"
As a result, the shop owner explained to Sun Ce, Zhou Tai and Lu Su about Fei Ge Chuan Shu with a very good mood.
"Then how do we make this homing pigeon find its way?" Sun Ce continued to ask curiously.
"I don't know about this. I heard that it is domesticated. As for how to domesticate it, I don't know. I only know how to use it. Generally, these homing pigeons are domesticated by someone. If you want to know, it is not impossible, but it takes time.
A little money..."
"Money is easy to come by. As long as you teach me how to use this homing pigeon, I won't treat you badly."
When the shop owner saw the money, Zhou Tai bought the pigeon after paying a lot of five baht. The shop owner took the money and went out for a while. When he came back, he told Sun Ce how to raise the pigeon.
In addition, Sun Ce also asked the shop owner about a lot of things. Every time he asked about something, he gave the shop owner a little money. The shop owner didn't think much at all and told him everything he knew, even if he didn't.
If he knew, he asked someone to go to the army in the city to ask. Later, he felt that it was too troublesome to run away, so he simply called his brothers who were army commanders together and asked his brothers to explain everything to Sun Ce.
After asking many questions, Sun Ce felt extremely unbelievable. Then, Sun Ce shifted the issues of people's livelihood and civil affairs to the military, and opened his mouth to ask: "So, how are Liannu made?"
The Army Sima sitting opposite Sun Ce was willing to answer the question for the sake of money at first. But when Sun Ce asked this question, the Army Sima's face turned cold and he looked at Sun Ce, Zhou Tai and Lu again.
Su Su, seeing that although the three of them were wearing ordinary people's clothes, they couldn't hide their auras, they couldn't help but put a lot of thought into it.
Army Sima secretly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, glanced at the three people opposite him, and asked in a cold voice: "You have asked so many questions in a row, who are they?"
