Chapter 595: Take the Waterway
Brown Bamboo was slightly taken aback, and said, "If you go further south, then you will enter the realm of Dongwu?" "Shu's intelligence system is self-contained, and the intelligence systems of Wei and Wu definitely do not intersect with each other, if it enters the territory of Wu, then it is equivalent to letting Brown Bamboo enter the intelligence blind spot, which will have a fatal impact on his escort work.
Liu Yin said: "This is also a last resort, the road to the west has been blocked, and now in addition to going south to Jiangling, I am afraid there is no second way back to Shuzhong." ”
"However, Lord Baiyang, going south to Jiangling also needs to cross the Wei-Wu border, and it is not easy to think that it is not easy." Brown Bamboo was a little worried, after all, after leaving the territory of the Wei State, the role that Brown Bamboo could play was zero. Although Brown Bamboo did not know Liu Yin's true identity, this did not prevent him from identifying Liu Yin as an extremely important person, Chen Lin had already given him a death order to escort him out of Wei at all costs, Brown Bamboo had not taken on such a task for a long time, so he had to ensure Liu Yin's safety.
In the territory of the Wei State, with the intelligence network and the underground force that the Lieutenant's Mansion has painstakingly operated for many years, it is still entirely possible for Brown Bamboo to control the situation, but once he enters the unfamiliar environment of the Wu State, he can no longer guarantee that he has any reliable means.
Liu Yin is not too worried about this, after all, Wei and Wu are now in a non-war state, in this state, the border control between the two countries is relatively loose, at least it is still acquiescing to people-to-people exchanges, the most important point is that the border between Wei and Wu is in the plain, unlike the junction of Wei and Shu is a dangerous pass, this kind of plain will naturally have multiple paths to communicate. Even if the Wei army blocked the avenue. But he also can't control the trail.
After Liu Yin laid out his plan and inventory. Everyone no longer objected, as for the next move after entering the Wu Kingdom, it is not easy to say, it can only be taken step by step. After all, now Shu and Wu are also in a state of war and hostility, even after Liu Yin enters the Wu State, his identity cannot be exposed.
After the plan was decided, it was still the brown bamboo who came forward. Secretly mobilize the hidden forces of the Lieutenant's Mansion in Wei to escort Liu Yin to break through the blockade.
Perhaps, as Liu Yin considered, now Du Pre's attention is focused on the west, for the south of the Wei-Wu border, it will naturally be more relaxed, in fact, Du Pre whip is beyond the reach, from Xiangyang to the south, is the endless Jianghan Plain, this area is dense water network, there are many roads. If you really want to prevent it, it is simply overwhelming.
The more positive news is. Brown bamboo actually bought off an official at the Xiangyang waterway checkpoint, and at a not too high price, he obtained the right of way for the waterway.
In fact, this official only regarded Liu Yin and his entourage as ordinary businessmen who trafficked goods, and in the Jianghan area, there were obviously not a few businessmen who smuggled between the two countries, and this official should have made a lot of oil and water from it, so he naturally turned a blind eye to Liu Yin's cargo ship passage and acquiesced.
If he really knew that if he passed the checkpoint at this moment, he would be a wanted criminal who was wanted by the imperial court with a reward of 100 million yuan, and he would not dare to do this if he was killed.
So when he watched Liu Yin and his entourage pass through the waterway checkpoint with a smile in their hands, carrying a heavy bag of money in their hands, he didn't realize that the huge wealth and high-ranking officials had quietly flowed away from his fingertips.
The wind was blowing smoothly, and Liu Yin's fleet had already gone down the river and entered the territory of Wu.
In Xiangyang, it is not difficult to get a few boats, as long as it costs money, so Liu Yin has scrapped the carriage and horses in Xiangyang, moved the goods to the ship, and entered the Wu Kingdom by water.
Of course, there will also be checks on the Wu side, but these checkpoints are no different from fictitious, Brown Bamboo only spent less than half of the money on the Wei side of the checkpoint, and got the checkpoint on the Wu side, and by the way, he got a very regular road, stamped with the big seal of the Wu checkpoint, which can undoubtedly ensure that Liu Yin and his party can carry out normal activities as businessmen in the territory of Wu State, without worrying about being arrested.
Wei State's wanted warrant will naturally not be posted on the city wall of Wu State, with the guarantee of the road, Liu Yin is still relatively safe after entering Wu State, as long as he does not take the initiative to expose his true identity, then in Wu State, it is a safe road, Wu State for these businessmen who are active on the border of Wei and Wu, is also secretly supported by the way, as long as these businessmen pay a certain deed tax, Wu State will not deliberately make things difficult and seized, on the one hand, there is money to make, on the other hand, you can also get the materials that Wu State urgently needs, Why not.
Liu Yin also quickly adjusted the plan of travel, originally by land directly from Xiangyang to Jiangling, and then from Jiangling to buy a boat west back to Bashu, now take the waterway, then simply follow the Han River to the south, from Xiakou into the Yangtze River, and then turn west to Jiangling, although it seems to be going around a big circle, but if you take the waterway, the speed is faster than the land route, and more importantly, after arriving at Jiangling, there is no need to change boats, so Liu Yin still decided to go around a big circle and take the waterway.
What's more, along the way, you can also rely on the fascinating ancient battlefield Chibi, as a senior fan of the Three Kingdoms in later generations, Liu Yin still has a soft spot for Chibi, and now he has the opportunity to appreciate the scene of thousands of piles of snow on the shore with rocks piercing through the air and crashing on the shore, Liu Yin is still a little excited.
However, Liu Yin was disappointed in the end, along the way to the west, along the way, the scenery was dull and boring, if it wasn't for the guidance of the Wu boatman, Liu Yin didn't know that he was already in the Chibi battlefield that was the most powerful in the year, what kind of rocks pierced the air and crashed on the shore, the calm Yangtze River was not alarmed at the moment, not even a few waves have been seen, and how to roll up thousands of piles of snow, the war has been many years, even the remaining ruins have been gone, Liu Yin of course can not understand Zhou Yu's faint smile between the strong and annihilated feeling.
Everything that has been in the past, and then here has been annihilated without a trace, I can't help but let Liu Yin sigh the ruthlessness of time again, the battle of Chibi can be called the foundation of the Three Kingdoms, the Three Kingdoms kicked off because of this, at this moment Liu Yin returned to Chibi, the curtain of the Three Kingdoms has slowly fallen, if nothing else, Wei will be replaced by the Jin State before the end of this year, how much time is left for Wu Shu?
No one can answer this question, and the whole river is silent, only the rolling eastward water, whistling forward, never knowing what it will be. (To be continued.) )
