Yi Xiaotian didn't know that Zhuge Liang had sent people to the cities around them to collect military information.
But that doesn't mean he didn't take precautions - Li Fu and others, who had not been seen for a long time, had actually been running back and forth between several cities in the past few days, setting up spies, not for a head-on confrontation, but just to ensure that before the battle, the army
The information will not be leaked.
But after all, the manpower was limited, and Jiangdong's front was stretched too long. It cannot be said to be negligence, but it was indeed taken advantage of.
Yi Xiaotian, who was unaware, was not aware of the problem.
After all, in the past, the battles he personally directed were always replaced by people he was very familiar with. Yi Xiaotian did not know Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai, or even Zhu Huan Quancong and others as well as Lu Xun.
This is why, only this time, Yi Xiaotian did not choose to personally direct the battle - admittedly, trusting Lu Xun was also a very important reason, but this time, Yi Xiaotian was indeed beyond his power.
But now Yi Xiaotian and Lu Xun have no time to care about the leakage of military intelligence.
They are busy looking for a key figure who has been missing for a long time...Gan Ning.
——
"What is General Gan's message?"
Back in time, Lu Xun was inadvertently awakened by Yi Xiaotian, and immediately rushed out of the room, anxiously running towards Sun Quan's residence while muttering something like "I see."
Of course Yi Xiaotian was puzzled, so he also chased after him.
Just listen to Lu Xun gasping and say:
"A few days ago, a strong man dressed in shabby clothes came to see me... At that time he..."
Knowing that Yi Xiaotian was confused, Lu Xun quickly explained.
It turned out that...two days ago, a person came to the door, and Lu Xun naturally met him...for no other reason than because the other person said that he had something important to report, which would even affect the future of the war between Liu Bei and Jiangdong.
It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that there is nothing. Lu Xun was busy arranging the battlefield at that time, and the decision to divide his troops to go to Jingkou and Yangxian was also made that day, so he naturally needed some turning points to deal with possible accidents.
However…
When Lu Xun met the other party, the other party only said a few words to Lu Xun——
"I don't remember exactly what it was, but the meaning of the other person's words is quite clear..."
Lu Xun slowed down slightly and said to Yi Xiaotian as he walked:
"He wants me to admit that my lord is the lord of Jiangdong. In the future, my rule will not suffer anything like what Zhang Zhao and I have done openly. Otherwise, they will never support me, even if I fall into the trap of being a bandit in the future——"
Yi Xiaotian frowned and looked in disbelief.
"What does that man mean?"
Seeing Yi Xiaotian's expression, Lu Xun also sighed:
"My husband and I had the same expression at the time, and we didn't quite understand what this person's statement meant... My lord has become the lord of Jiangdong. This is a fact that we have both acknowledged - I just think this person is talking nonsense.
Badao, so he had people drive him away."
"It's just that before this person left, he left a note, which said -"
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the backyard of the government office. Not far away, Sun Quan was busy carrying a pile of documents, his movements were cautious, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
When Lu Xun saw Sun Quan, he didn't hesitate at all and ran towards him shouting.
Yi Xiaotian quickly followed up——
But what about Sun Quan?
"No...isn't it just reviewing some military intelligence reports?
It’s not like I didn’t do it before…”
"Well...relax, it's a very simple thing, this is for your future sake..."
"Lord! So you are here!"
"I go!"
Sun Quan was about to return to his room when he heard the sound he least wanted to hear from behind.
In panic, his hand slipped and he threw out the entire document, which was less than half a man's height.
At that moment, Sun Quan's heart died.
——
The farce finally ended with Lu Su summoning soldiers to clean up the scene.
Yi Xiaotian, on the other hand, looked at everything with a smile. Lu Xun pulled Sun Quan, who had a dark look on his face, into the room, and comforted him as he walked away:
"Don't worry, my lord, it's just a slippery hand. The soldiers will take care of it soon. If you want to do this kind of thing in the future, you can tell me! Why do it secretly by yourself?"
Sun Quan was smiling, but in his heart he wanted to curse: Didn't I do this kind of thing alone just to avoid you?
He has a very strong self-esteem... In other words, he talks about being upright and says he doesn't want to go to the battlefield. But after he actually came and talked with the soldiers in the past few days, he actually no longer wanted to escape.
.
It's just that...he couldn't say this kind of thing. He wanted to shoulder his responsibilities, but he was worried that Lu Xun would tease him after seeing it, so he did such a clumsy thing.
Of course…
Lu Xun had no intention of teasing him right now.
He pulled Sun Quan into the room, took out a wrinkled note from his arms and handed it to him.
Sun Quan was still immersed in the anger just now, and Lu Xun suddenly gave him a note, which made Sun Quan a little confused.
Turning around to look at Yi Xiaotian, he thought it was Yi Xiaotian who was causing trouble, but Yi Xiaotian shrugged and spread his hands, indicating that he had no idea.
"What's this…"
"My lord...this is the note General Gan entrusted to entrust to you...it is the meeting place he has set. My lord...without further ado, let's leave as soon as possible!"
"Wait...wait a minute!"
Lu Xun spoke too quickly and talked a lot in a confused manner, both about the note and about how he got the note before. Sun Quan was confused and his mind was like a mush.
Sun Quan quickly interrupted the other party before he became dizzy.
"Speak slowly! What happened to Gan Ning?
Didn’t he say that he had taken refuge with Liu Bei?”
In fact, at this point, Yi Xiaotian has roughly understood what is going on. Sure enough, it is still the impact of unequal intelligence.
Lu Xun was a little anxious, and his words rarely made sense, but Yi Xiaotian stood up at this moment and put his hands on their shoulders:
"Let me explain?"
Finally... they looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Yi Xiaotian rubbed his swollen eyebrows and started speaking as briefly as possible.
The thing is very simple -
But it starts a few months ago.
The marriage farce a few months ago ended with Zhou Yu's death and Sun Quan's resignation.
This immediately led to the confrontation between Lu Xun and Zhang Zhao.
During that confrontation, Gan Ning was naturally in Chaisang and did not receive too specific news. He only knew that Zhou Yu had died of illness and was extremely upset and sad.
The remorseful heart turned into a desire for revenge after learning that Lu Xun was the one who killed Zhou Yu——
This idea continues even to this day.
Gan Ning chose to join Zhang Zhao's side just to fight against Lu Xun and avenge Zhou Yu. However, little did he know that this indirectly led to the complete loss of communication between the two parties.
