On February 20 of the first year of Wude, Xu Chu led the army to secretly arrive at Li Dian's camp, and at the same time, the two armies of Chen Ying and Lü Loan also arrived in Anhui County and Juchao respectively.

At this moment, Zhang Yan has been hiding in Li Dian's naval camp, and regards this place as a command headquarters, and under the cover of Li Dian, everything is carried out in secret.

In order not to attract the attention of others, Zhang Yan has been dressed up as Li Dian's own soldier to facilitate access to the barracks.

On this day, Zhang Yan had nothing to do in the barracks, so he walked around, who knew that he happened to see a group of patrolling soldiers bringing in a person with a lot of flowers.

Zhang Yan stepped forward to ask what was going on, and the soldiers on patrol said that they had caught another spy again.

"Caught another spies? Could it be that you often catch spies? Zhang Yan asked curiously.

"That's not it, this spy is already the eleventh person." The soldier replied to Zhang Yan's words while pushing the spy towards the camp.

Zhang Yan stood in place, motionless, but secretly thinking about the spy in his heart.

Since he came to the barracks, he has been able to catch spies almost every day for five consecutive days, but all the spies who have been caught are very hard-mouthed, and Li Dian can't ask for a single bit of news from the mouths of these spies.

Zhang Yan also talked to the soldiers in the army about him, asked about spies, and asked the soldiers if there were many spies before. The soldier said that there were not many spies in the past, but I don't know what's going on, and the spies have been going on these days, which is very abnormal.

Suddenly, Zhang Yan had an idea. I thought of the messenger that Li Dian had captured. It was as if the messenger had been caught. The number of spies gradually increased.

As for the messenger, Zhang Yan was blank, because Li Dian only wrote in the letter that he had captured a messenger of the Jiangdong Army, but did not mention his name, so Zhang Yan did not know that the messenger was Sun Yi at all. Moreover, after Zhang Yan arrived at the barracks, he did not ask about the envoy.

So, Zhang Yan went to find Li Dian. After retreating, Zhang Yan personally asked what the name of the messenger captured by Li Dian was.

"Sun Yi!" Li Dian replied.

When Zhang Yan heard the name Sun Yi, he was silent for a moment, carefully searched for the name in his mind, and was surprised to find that Sun Yi was Sun Quan's younger brother.

It's no wonder that Jiangdong's spies will continue to come to Xunyang, and they dare to come to find Sun Yi.

At that moment, Zhang Yan came up with a clever plan and was ready to use Sun Yi's matter to make some trouble.

Subsequently. Zhang Yan wrote a letter in the name of Yu Ban and sent someone to the other side.

……

Chaisang.

Zhou Yu and his subordinates waited ten miles west of Chaisang City. From afar, I saw an army slowly approaching in the distance, and under the banner of the word "Guan" was a red-faced and long-haired general.

Zhou Yu had already inquired clearly, the commander of this army was called Guan Yu, Liu Bei's sworn brother, with invincible bravery, it was the army sent by Liu Bei this time, and Guan Yu came together, as well as the five thousand soldiers of Jingnan.

"There are only 5,000 people, it seems that Liu Bei doesn't attach much importance to this joint operation......" Zhou Yu saw Guan Yu leading the army to arrive, and said secretly in his heart.

Before Guan Yu arrived, a scout ran to Zhou Yu's side first, and after seeing Zhou Yu, he directly handed over a letter and said, "Xunyang urgent report!" ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately took the letter from the scout's hand, opened it, looked at it hurriedly, and immediately showed joy on his face, and said happily: "Great, really good, God help me!" ”

However, after a short period of joy, Zhou Yu suddenly frowned again, looked at the contents of the letter again, and couldn't help but feel that there was something strange in it.

This time to send Sun Yi to contact Yu Ban's Jihua, Zhou Yu came up with it.

According to Jihua, Sun Yi first went to contact Yu Ban, and presented Sun Quan's handwritten letter drafted by Zhou Yu on his behalf, in which he first praised the ban, and then threw an olive branch to Yu Ban, promising to give Yu Ban great benefits, and preparing to rebel against the ban.

Of course, the rebellion is fake, and the elimination of the ban is his real goal. Zhou Yu did this in order to paralyze Yu Ban and gain Yu Ban's trust.

But what Zhou Yu never dreamed of was that Yu Ban actually took the initiative to surrender to Sun Quan, and was willing to be the vanguard general of the Sun family, leading his subordinate army to Pengcheng and eliminate Zhang Yan for Sun Quan. Moreover, he agreed to all the conditions put forward by Zhou Yu.

Who is Zhou Yu, how could he not see the flaws in the letter, because the benefits he gave Yu Ban were minimal, if Yu Ban could be bought by this small benefit, then Zhang Yan would definitely not appoint Yu Ban to garrison Xunyang.

In addition, Sun Yi has not returned so far, which has also become a great suspicion.

Compared with the messenger who claimed to be a forbidden soldier, Zhou Yu was more willing to believe Sun Yi.

However, to this day, Zhou Yu still has no news of Sun Yi, and there is no news of the dozen or so spies he sent out in a row.

Zhou Yu looked at the letter in his hand again, although he was extremely calm on the surface, he had already turned over in his heart, and the letter was sent over for no reason, making things confusing.

Sun Yi has not returned yet, was he detained by the enemy, or was there some accident?

The more Zhou Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was a bit outrageous, so he turned around and instructed the people around him, and sent a few fine workers again to secretly go to Xunyang to inquire about the news, and be sure to find Sun Yi's whereabouts.

At this time, Guan Yu and the army were getting closer and closer, and Zhou Yu hid the letter in his hand, put the matter aside for the time being, and led people to meet Guan Yu.

After two face-to-face looks, Guan Yu ordered the army to stop advancing, and he turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards Zhou Yu.

"This general is walking with a tiger, and he is Xuanang, if Zhou is not mistaken, the general must be Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, the sworn brother of Xuande Gong, right?" Zhou Yu hugged his fists first and said.

Guan Yu stroked the long hair hanging down on his chest, and said with a smile: "Most of the governors have good eyesight, and a certain is Guan Yunchang!" ”

"Sure enough, it's General Guan, it's better to meet than to be famous, I didn't expect General Guan to be so mighty." Zhou Yu said in a pleasant greeting on the side.

"Most of the governors have been awarded. Guan is just a martial artist. It can be praised by the Grand Governor. It's a blessing for three lives. Actually, the Metropolitan Governor is the ......," Guan Yu also began to tout.

Zhou Yu and Guan Yu exchanged a few words of greetings, and Zhou Yu and Guan Yu returned to Chaisang City together, talking and laughing along the way, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After arriving in Chaisang City, Zhou Yu ordered Guan Yu's army to be arranged on the side of the barracks, and set up a banquet to warmly entertain Guan Yu.

Dinner. Zhou Yu and Guan Yu were very polite, and after three rounds of drinking, Guan Yu asked Zhou Yu when he could send troops to attack Xunyang.

Zhou Yu said that preparations were underway, and the army had not yet been dispatched, once the army was mobilized, he could send troops to attack Xunyang, and let Guan Yu temporarily live in the city for a few days.

After the banquet was over, Zhou Yu returned to the study and wrote a reply to the letter that was sent. and sent men to the other side.

……

Zhang Yan opened the letter sent by Zhou Yu and read it. just smiled, more than a thousand words throughout, but did not say anything substantial, just deduced that it might take a few days to report the contents of the letter to Sun Quan. At the same time, I also inquired about Sun Yi's situation.

Zhang Yan replied again to the content of the letter, which roughly means that Sun Yi and Yu Ban hit it off at first sight, and in order to promote the friendly cooperation between the two armies, they left Sun Yi in the barracks, and Zhou Yu was treated with good wine and meat every day, so please rest assured.

For this reason, Zhang Yan also specially took a thing from Sun Yi's body as a token and asked him to hand it over to Zhou Yu on the other side.

In addition, Zhang Yan even let Li Dian and Sun Yi put on a good show. Of course, Sun Yi will never cooperate, the only way is to get Sun Yi drunk, let one of Li Dian's personal soldiers pretend to be forbidden, and under the escort of Li Dian, openly appear in public, show that he is drunk, and deliberately let those people take a closer look.

What Zhang Yan didn't expect was that this scene was very successful, and Li Dian contributed a lot, and in the process of supporting Sun Yi, he had to pretend to be drunk, which was really inappropriate.

However, this scene was successful, and he was completely seen by the enemy's meticulous work, so he fed back the information he saw to Zhou Yu.

……

Zhou Yu received the reply again, and after reading it in a hurry, he was still a little uneasy, and when the fine work he sent out had a reply, he was still a little skeptical.

Because, the whereabouts of the fine work he sent out a few times ago are still unknown, why did the fine work sent out this time have a result? After thinking about it, Zhou Yu guessed that it might be the enemy's drama for the details. Therefore, what you see in detail is not necessarily true.

However, Zhou Yu can be sure that Sun Yi is indeed in the hands of the enemy, and he is in the barracks of the navy.

Sun Yi is Sun Quan's younger brother, Zhou Yu also hesitated when choosing the messenger, but Sun Yi volunteered to go, Zhou Yu couldn't stop it, so he had to hand over this task to Sun Yi to do.

Who knows, Sun Yi will never return.

In short, no matter where Sun Yi is, Zhou Yu must try to save Sun Yi, because he doesn't want to see Sun Ce's younger brother die at such a young age.

That night, Zhou Yu stayed awake all night, meditated hard, and then came up with a rescue Jihua, then picked up a pen and paper, began to write a reply, and asked people to send it to the other side of the river.

……

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Chen Ying and Lu Yuan's army has arrived in Xunyang, and now Yu Ban is feasting on the two of them, do you want to tell them the truth of the matter now?" Li Dian stood in the camp tent and said respectfully to Zhang Yan, who was dressed as a personal soldier.

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "Don't use it for the time being, let's solve the matter here first." I believe that there will be a reply tonight. ”

As soon as the words fell, a personal soldier walked directly into the big tent, handed Zhou Yu's letter to Zhang Yan, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qiyan, reply from the other side!" ”

Zhang Yan smiled: "How is it?" I'm not wrong in guessing, Zhou Yu's reply is really here! ”

He smiled at Li Dian while opening Zhou Yu's reply, and after a while, his face was gloomy.

Seeing this, Li Dian hurriedly asked, "His Royal Highness King Yan, is something wrong?" (To be continued......)
