Rebirth: I’m Lv Bu

The war came to an end for a while, and the people in Jingzhou who were worried finally let go of their hanging hearts. However, these people did not know that this battle was just a prelude to an unprecedented battle. The real battle is still to come! Although the armies have ceased the war, they are actively preparing for the real battle that is coming. The war-damaged ministries are stepping up replenishment, the soldiers and horses are stepping up training, and the food, grass and weeds are stepping up preparations for transportation. Under the calm appearance, the tense atmosphere did not abate at all.

At this time, a group of merchant-like figures were riding the boat along the Han River. The leader stood on the bow and looked at the water in front of him, carrying his hands on his back, quite the posture of the poet Li Bai. The physique is much more majestic. Although this person has a majestic physique, he has a pale complexion and a very bad appearance. He seems to be a sick man with a disease.

A burly man in strong clothes came to the person, clasped his fist and said, "General, Mr. Gong said that we are about to reach Cao Jun's checkpoint!" It turned out that this pale and sickly looking strong man was not someone else, but it was Ailang. Dressed up, the reason why he became such a look is because he wore a human skin mask made by Jia Xu. He couldn't see his face at all, he had become a sick man with a burly figure but a bad complexion. The brawny man next to him is ugly, but also wears a human skin mask, which is completely different from the previous image. The reason why Ailang did not bring Dianwei with the ugliness was because he was going to Xuchang in disguise this time. There are too many people in Xuchang who are familiar with Dianwei. If you bring Dianwei, I am afraid that it will not take long. Revealed whereabouts.

Ai Lang hurriedly rushed to Wen Chou and said: "How many times have I told you! Don't call me General, I will call me Young Master now!" Wen Chou replied and said depressedly: "Da, no, Young Master, this name is too awkward. That's it!" Ai Lang stared: "If you feel awkward, remember it to me! Don't show your feet in Xuchang!" "Yes. At the end, no, the villain knows!" Ai Lang said with a hmm, and said, "Go on. Tell everyone to be careful." Wen Chou clasped his fists and ran down.

At this time, a man with the appearance of a goatee teacher came over, clasped his fist and said: "My son!" Ai Lang glanced at him, the corner of his eyes jumped, and smiled: "I said Old Xu! What do I think of you like this? How awkward! How do you look like a teacher, you are like a liar who abducts children!" It turned out that this teacher-like person was changed by Xu Shu, but this human skin mask doesn't know what's going on, Xu Shu After putting it on, the original wise and free image is completely gone. With slanted eyes, collapsed nose, and the upturned goatee, it is completely an image full of bad water.

Xu Shu chuckled, and said, "This is no way! Fortunately, those who haven't married yet, I don't worry about being seen by his wife!" Seeing Xu Shu actually utter a joke, Ai Lang couldn't help but laughed. stand up.

Wen Chou rushed back, clasped his fist and said: "My son, I've explained everything." Ai Lang nodded.

At this time, a soldier disguised as a sailor pointed to the front and shouted: "My son, Cao Jun’s checkpoint is here!" Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the soldier's finger, and saw that there were a few grass sheds on the shore. There are a few simple piers near the water. Cao's soldiers can be vaguely seen in and out of the hayloft, while several small boats are patrolling on the water outside those piers. There are so-called levels, is it a far cry from what everyone imagined? Hehe, in fact, all the levels on the water in ancient times are like this.

"Cao Jun's patrol boat is here." Xu Shu said. At this time, a small boat was carrying a few Cao army officers and soldiers straight up.

In a short while, the boat sailed to a short distance ahead, and an officer-like person above shouted loudly: "Who are you?" Ailang Yang said, "We are merchants in business." The officer pointed to the front. The hayloft on the shore shouted: "Look over to register immediately." Ai Langyang said: "Understood." Then he asked his subordinates to look at the simple port ahead. In this era, although the princes of the various parties are hostile, they are still friendly to the merchants who communicate with each other, and generally do not make things difficult, because the princes of all parties know that prosperous trade can bring them wealth and make them stronger. In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lv Meng's white-clothed raid on Jingzhou across the river was done by taking advantage of the convenience that merchants can communicate with all parties.

Under the guidance of Cao Jun's sailors, the merchant ship slowly leaned on to the simple port and dropped the cable. The two Cao Jun soldiers on the port immediately caught the cable and fixed it to a wooden stake on the port. Immediately there was a man with the appearance of a civil servant leading a few soldiers over. The civil servant raised his head and shouted: "Hurry up and put down the pedals. We have to get on the boat for inspection." Ai Lang said to Wen ugly: "Put the pedals down." Wen Chou immediately yelled at his opponent: "Put down the pedals." Several sailors and men dressed as soldiers immediately lifted a pedal and slowly set it down along the ship's side. Once the pedals were put down, the civil officer led a few soldiers onto the ship.

As soon as the civilian arrived on the boat, he asked, "Which one of you is the boss?"

Ai Lang stepped forward and clasped his fist and said, "This official, I am the boss." The civil officer took a look at Ai Lang, and saw that he looked sick, but he didn't take it seriously. I looked around and said, "Where are you from and where are you going?"

Ai Lang said, "We are merchants in Danyang and we are going to Xuchang."

"Well. What's on this ship?"

"It's just the native products of Jiangnan."

The civilian officer said to a few soldiers next to him: "Go and look around the cabin." The soldiers clasped their fists and agreed, and immediately dispersed into the cabin. Xu Shu clasped his fists and asked: "I ask the official, I don't know how to pay the tariffs." The civil official glanced at Xu Shu and said, "Fortunately, you are lucky. The prime minister has recently awarded the grace. In view of the long-standing wars and difficulties of the people in the south, they are especially exempted. You go through the tariffs that you need to pay everywhere in Jingzhou, so you don't have to pay the tariffs!" Ai Lang felt a little surprised, and then couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Cao Cao, this guy can really buy people's hearts!" At this time, Xu Shu held his fist with a grateful expression on his face and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister, I can't be thankful enough!" The civil official said, "Just know it."

At this time, the soldiers under the civil servants all returned. One of the soldiers clasped his fist to the civil servant and said: "Master Qi, the ship is full of local products and there are no prohibited items." The civil servant nodded and said to Ellen: " Let's go. Remember, you must get to the shore when you arrive at the Xiangyang port, and you can't go up anymore, so as not to be caught as a spy." A few people clasped their fists and thanked them. The civil officer led the soldiers under him off the ship. Ailang immediately sent someone to untie the rope, put the pedals away, and then the merchant ship left the simple port and headed upstream.

Xu Shu held his fist towards Ai Lang and said, "My son, what the official said just now was a bit interesting."

Ellen was unsure and asked, "What's the point?"

Xu Shu said: "The official said just now that you must not cross the water in Xiangyang. Didn't the son think of something?" Ai Lang was taken aback, only feeling at a loss. He could not help but pick his head and said, "Is there anything wrong with this?" Angrily said: "Old Xu, don't sell it! Let's talk, what did you find?"

Xu Shu said: "Since you will be arrested as a spy after you have passed Xiangyang, it means that Cao Jun is doing something on the water above Xiangyang. Cao Cao has now occupied Xiangyang and Nanyang, and is about to move his army south to capture Jiangnan. , You must have a navy. However, although Cao Cao’s foot cavalry is strong, the navy is very weak. Therefore, I guess that Cao Cao is now ordering people to train naval forces to build warships in the waters above Xiangyang, so that side will become Restricted area." After hearing Xu Shu's words, Ai Lang nodded with approval, and said: "Yes, yes! It must be like this!" Xu Shu clasped his fists and said, "Our party will land near Xiangyang and head north. Mooring at the pier in Xiangyang for one night, so I can take this opportunity to send someone ashore to investigate the situation upstream." Ailang felt that it was almost dark when Xiangyang, and it was impossible to drive overnight. I am afraid that I would also berth at the pier in Xiangyang for the night. , Unable to delay his business, he nodded and said: "Okay! That's the decision!"

The merchant ship went upstream and never encountered Cao Jun's checkpoint along the way. When the sun was about to set, the merchant ship turned a bend to the west, the green hills on both sides receded, and a magnificent ancient city suddenly appeared in the distance. When it was completely dark, the merchant ship finally arrived at the Xiangyang Wharf outside the city of Xiangyang and stopped at a vacant place at a pier. Although it was dark at this time, the pier was still bustling with a busy scene. It can be seen that in addition to their merchant ship, there are many merchant ships from the south entering here. Many merchant ships are busy loading and unloading goods, while hawkers selling food and various daily necessities shuttle back and forth from various ports and shout loudly, while the brightly-painted powder heads stand on the side of the merchant ships and the merchant ships. The sailors laughed, and the whole pier seemed to be a chaotic and lively market.

Ailang didn't plan to go ashore, so he stayed on the ship. After accepting Xu Shu's instructions, a soldier in disguise bid farewell to Ai Lang and they left the ship ashore. He was going to investigate the situation in the upper reaches of Xiangyang. The purpose of Ailang and their trip was not to investigate any military intelligence, but Ailang couldn't bear the torment of longing and wanted to sneak into Xuchang to see Cao Ying's situation while the midwinter was about to stop. Regarding this matter, Jia Xu Xu Shu and others were resolutely opposed, but Ai Lang was determined not to listen to the advice at all. Everyone had no choice but to let Ai Lang go. However, Jia Xu insisted on asking Xu Shu Wenchou and the others to accompany him just in case. Ailang couldn't help him, so he had to agree.
