Chapter 596: Jinfan Thief
After arriving in Jiangling, he really didn't encounter any trouble, and after entering the Wu realm, Liu Yin had already replaced all the boatmen with Wu people, and with them as sailors and guides, he could indeed get twice the result with half the effort.
Jiangling, as an important town in Jingzhou, is naturally the key point of the Wu people's defense, and after Liu Yin arrived in Jiangling, he can indeed feel it. Although the battle of Xiling, which spanned two years, was over, but the defense of Wu on the Yangtze River did not show signs of weakening, but used the time between the war to repair and strengthen the fortresses of Jiangling.
However, the degree of leniency of the Wu people towards the merchants was still beyond Liu Yin's expectations, and the Wu people were not worried that the spies would enter the Wu State from these merchants, and they almost rarely checked the merchants who entered the Wu State from the Wei State.
However, now is a non-war period, maybe the Wu people will be more relaxed, and when it comes to wartime, it may not be like this.
Liu Yin only stayed in Jiangling for one day, in order to behave more like a businessman, Liu Yin got rid of the goods on the ship at the dock market in Jiangling, and then bought a batch of other goods, loaded them on the ship, and traveled along the west of the river in the direction of Wangyizhou.
It is true that no one has ever doubted Liu Yin, Liu Yin disguised himself as a businessman, and he is indeed subtle, and Liu Yin's behavior and style are no different from ordinary businessmen, so he is in the territory of Wu. Didn't attract the slightest attention from others.
Embark on the road back to the west. It's getting closer and closer to Yizhou. Zhang Le and others are like arrows, looking forward to returning to Yizhou as soon as possible and ending this wandering journey.
When he arrived near Xiling, several Mengchong express ships suddenly appeared on the river, flying the flag of Dongwu, Liu Yin couldn't help but change his face greatly, could it be that something was wrong?
Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo, and Ajian's side are like a great enemy. Even instinctively showed his weapons and watched closely, if the Wu army really rushed up, he would definitely fight with them.
"Put away your weapons!" Liu Yin sneered and said sarcastically. The river is not as good as the land, once any situation happens, it will be very difficult for Liu Yin and his party to get away, as for the battle, just by virtue of them for a few days, no matter what it is, it is impossible to be the opponent of the boats full of Dongwu sailors. If the situation on land is not good. You can also find a chance to escape, but on this vast water. If they really want to escape, they are also powerless, so Liu Yin ordered them to put away their weapons and not let the Wu sailors see it.
In fact, everyone's worries were meaningless, those few Meng Chong sailed extremely fast, and soon approached, and even the appearance of the sailors on the ship could be seen very really. However, these Wu soldiers on the Meng Chong ship did not have any malicious intent, and shouted from afar: "Merchant ships stay aside!" Merchant ships pull aside! ”
Although the Yangtze River is very wide, even if it reaches the vicinity of Xiling Gorge, the width of the river surface is not low, but the real channel is limited in scope, and sometimes, even the up and down cannot be staggered, so one side can only stop driving.
At this moment, the Mengchong warship that suddenly appeared on the river was not hostile, but only expelled the merchant ships occupying the main channel, and now on the Xiling River, in addition to Liu Yin's merchant ship, there are two merchant ships that are also among the expulsions of Wu Bing.
"Damn, this is your territory, why is this overbearing?" Zhang Le was quite dissatisfied and complained in a low voice.
Liu Yin smiled, he didn't have any ideas, under the low eaves, he didn't bow his head, he immediately ordered the boatmen to moor the ship to the side, according to the normal situation, if there is a small and medium-sized warship such as the Mengchong battleship in front of the road, there must be a large warship coming behind.
Sure enough, not long after, a huge building ship could be seen on the river coming from upstream, and the flag on the ship could be seen, which was written with the word "land".
Liu Yin's face changed slightly, and now the generals surnamed Lu in Dongwu are only Lu Kang and Lu Kai, so is the flag on the ship Lu Kang's or Lu Kai's? According to intelligence, Lu Kai has always held the position of governor of Xiling when the Wei army attacked Xiling, but after the end of the war, he has been transferred back to Jianye, and this fleet came from upstream, which is likely to be the flagship of Lu Kang.
Soon, the flagship also approached Liu Yin's merchant ship, and almost passed by, compared with the merchant ship and the building ship, it is simply a small thing, it is simply a grade thing, Liu Yin quickly noticed that above the building ship, there was a person standing in full uniform, his eyes were blazing, looking at the attitude of the people around him, as if this person was the commander.
Is he Lu Kang? A trace of doubt passed through Liu Yin's heart, it was obvious that he was most likely Lu Kang, but why did he appear here? Could it be that the Battle of Shuzhong has ended, or does Dongwu have other actions?
Lu Kang also seemed to be aware that someone was seeing, but he still glanced indifferently at the merchant ships that were much lower than the building ships, and did not pay too much attention to them, the detachment of his status made him not pay attention to the other mysteries on these merchant ships at all, he looked solemn, just glanced at it briefly, and then his eyes were still in the direction of Jianye, which was the destination of his trip, Lu Kang didn't know, what was waiting for him?
Just casually passed by, without stirring up any waves, Liu Yin, who returned to the main channel, fell into deep thought, if the battle situation in Shuzhong was unclear, Lu Kang, who knew the situation in Shu best, would be transferred away, and the situation would undoubtedly be in favor of Jiang Wei. But Lu Kang hurriedly returned to Beijing, which seemed to have an unusual meaning, could it be that in the future, there will be greater actions in Soochow?
What Liu Yin knows is the brutality of Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, with such a monarch in power, it is indeed not easy for those promising ministers to do something, and it is indeed not easy for them to transfer Lu to resist Jianye, which seems to send a signal that Wu's defensive position on the Yangtze River will change, which is probably thanks to the Luoyang Incident, and Dongwu saw that the power of Wei was weakening, and it was a good opportunity for his own hands.
Liu Yin was in deep thought, and the ship unknowingly sailed into Xiling Gorge.
Xiling Gorge is the last section of the Three Gorges, famous for its dangerous shoals, but these boatmen often beg for food on the Gorge River, for these dangerous shoals, they are well aware, but just entered Xiling Gorge, those boatmen's faces suddenly changed greatly, pointing to the river in front of them and whispering: "Jinfan thief!" It's a brocade thief! (To be continued.) )
