Chapter 231： waterway

The East Gate is the main entrance of the Junzi City. The daily flow of people is almost more than 30,000 to 40,000. The number is huge. Occasionally, during the peak period of traffic flow, the city gates can often see several long queues. The people are carrying the burdens. Line up outside.

However, this happened before the death of Chongming Emperor.

Since his death, there have been rumors that there may be a struggle-buy-flow-blood-event, and the people have become cautious and do not go out easily.

Recently, the flow of people at the gate of the city has been rapidly reduced to less than three or four thousand. It is sparse and sparse, and only some businessmen who are brave enough to risk shipping goods can be seen.

On this day, a caravan appeared at the gate of the city.

There were about twenty or thirty people in the caravan. At this time, they rushed to the gate of the city and rushed to the door. They were all flustered, and even the goods were too much. As if they were robbers, the soldiers who were at the gates were not right. , immediately stop them.

"What do you do, panic, and report it!"

A soldier shouted loudly at them, and other defending soldiers immediately dragged the fence over the gate to prevent them from rushing in.

A middle-aged businessman who looks like a leader quickly stood up. "This guardian brother, they are all workers under my hands. We are coming to Junjun City to run the goods. We are making an appointment with a boss named Yang this afternoon. I have been there many times."

Then he put a pack of silver into the hands of the soldiers.

The soldier smashed the purse in his hand and said, "Since it is coming to run the goods, why is it so rushed, is there someone behind you who is chasing you?"

"No, but..." The middle-aged businessman wants to stop.

"But what, say!" said the soldier impatiently.

Because the three emperors fled the city of Junzi, they ordered them to strictly guard the city gate for the next period of time. They had to fight up. Now it has been half a month, but they still have not seen a shadow. The soldiers have already begun to slack off.

The middle-aged businessman was scared by his tone, and he did not dare to hesitate. He told the soldiers what they had heard in three or two sentences.

They are businessmen who run private goods. If they go to the official road, they have to spend a lot of money, because every time they go through a town, they have to use silver to get through the relationship as they are now. As a result, the cost of goods will increase, and he will not be able to earn. How much money, so like them to rely on - private - goods to make a living, basically do not choose to take the official road.

In order to save this expense, the middle-aged businessman took his caravan to the trail.

Most of the trails are going through the deep forests. As long as the luck is not particularly bad, there will be no danger at all, but it will be nearly twice as long as the official road.

They have been through the road for more than a dozen times. They have been peaceful and have no trace of things, but middle-aged businessmen have found that the path has a lot of footprints.

The footprints are so dense that there are many people passing by. The middle-aged businessmen judge at least a thousand or more. If they are the same as them, the maximum number of businessmen who can run private goods is no more than one hundred.

The middle-aged businessman remembered the rumors that he had been rumored during this time. He was shocked at the time, but he did not dare to speak.

Some people in the caravan soon discovered this phenomenon, but they were all suppressed by him, and they were not allowed to talk until they walked out of the jungle, and they ran up in a panic, for fear that they would be wiped out.

After listening to it, several soldiers looked at each other.

This is a big event. If there are more than a thousand people hiding in it, it is very likely that they are the three emperors.

The soldiers suddenly dared not delay, immediately sent people to inform their team leader, and then the team leader informed that the atmosphere of the original slack was also tense and tense.

The news did not spread. They were afraid of disturbing the people in the city, causing their panic. At that time, many people would rush to think of the city. They should be glad that if it were not for these rumors, the people at the gates would probably have more, if they were When you hear it, the message will be spread.

As for a group of middle-aged businessmen who were taken away by soldiers, they have to determine whether the news is true, rather than middle-aged businessmen lie to them.

Fu Yuancheng soon knew about this incident, and suddenly he was shocked and immediately called Zhu Cheng. "Is there still no news on Zhao Yi?"

"No." Zhu Cheng wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Fu Yuancheng took a deep breath, "I will immediately call Liu Yun and Gong Yun to see you, right away!"

He thought that Fu Yuanyang and Yu Bofei would have to go one month later, and now they have arrived in the past two weeks. And it's still silent, if someone finds something different, and when they react, the city of Junzi has been driven straight into it.

Thinking of this, Fu Yuancheng's heart is cold. He always sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Fu Yuanyang and Yu Bofei. The 100,000 army is not a small number. It will be very conspicuous when it goes. He can't receive any news, unless someone betrays him!

The two are commanders and the other is the deputy commander. Now they are the courtiers of Fu Yuancheng, but Fu Yuancheng has not yet fully believed in Gong Yun.

"You should have heard about that, what do you think?"

Fu Yuancheng looked at the two, but his eyes fell on Gong Yun.

Gong Yun's appearance is biased towards decent, and his personality is also a kind of person who is stable and fearless. His mood is not always strong. He was watched by Fu Yuancheng. His face has not changed. Seeing Liu Long did not speak, he opened his mouth.

"The subordinates think that they are more credible, and they are not credible. If Yu Bofei is prepared, he can kill 100,000 troops and disguise himself as a refugee, or take a deep mountain path, or take a waterway to hide people's eyes and ears. If this is true, There is really an army outside the city, and the number should not exceed 5,000."

"how do I say this?"

"The 100,000-strong army is too eye-catching. As long as they are close to the Junzi City, we can't find it. Moreover, if the 100,000-strong army is really outside the city of Junzi, why should they lurk in it and it is better to directly attack it unexpectedly? ”

Gong Yun said it is justified.

Fu Yuancheng immediately believed in seven points. He could think of this when he calmed down. It was just that the pressure was too great during this time, so he did not expect it for a while.

Liu Yun hung his head, but his eyebrows were deeply wrinkled.

"So which road do you think other military units will take?" Fu Yuancheng asked again.

"The subordinates think that the deep mountain path is most likely." Liu Yun immediately replied, "If the disaster situation in Changzhou is not resolved, it is possible to disguise the refugees, but now there are not many Daiya refugees. If the quantity is too much, it is likely to attract attention. Therefore, the probability of the deep mountain path is the largest. As for the waterway, the chance is smaller. Yu Bofei may not be able to find many large ships to transport his soldiers in a short time."

Fu Yuancheng nodded. "There is a reason for Liu Tongling’s remarks. Deputy General Gong, what do you think?"

Gong Yun vowed: "The idea of ​​being under the command of Liu Tong is exactly the opposite."

Liu Yun’s expression is a stagnation.

"Talk." Fu Yuancheng said with interest.

"The subordinates have followed Yu Bofei, and he knows his thoughts. He is used to thinking backwards. Most people think that the deep mountain path is the best choice. He can also think of it, so he will definitely not focus on the deep mountain path, just like Liu. According to the commander, the waterway needs a large number of ships. Where does he go to find so many big ships? We will therefore conclude that he will not take the waterway, which is exactly what he thinks."

Liu Yun is not convinced. "Then you are talking about how he wants to find so many ships to transport the army?"

Gong Yun said: "Before I was accidentally heard by Yu Bofei, he once saved the largest shipping company in Da Ya, and he was a man who was a man of money and a heavy heart. He gave Yu Bofei a promise, if Yu Bofei looked for If he borrows a boat, he will give him eight to nine."

"What you said is nothing more than your guess. Can the shipper help a rebel person for a favor?" Liu Yun felt that the guess was not credible.

Gong Yun did not speak, but looked at Fu Yuancheng.

He just said what he knew. As for how to decide is not his business.

Fu Yuancheng indulged for a while. "Let's do it according to Gong Yun. He is right. He is credible and has no credibility. I have heard of him in the criminal river."

Liu Yun bit his teeth. "Yes, the subordinates will go immediately."

"This matter is handed over to Gong Yun to do it. He used to follow Yu Bofei and knows his thoughts one by one. It is easier to deal with."

Liu Yun's face is a stiff face.

"Subordinate to obey."

Gong Yun’s face is unchanged.

Liu Yun did not leave with him. When he could not see his figure, he immediately worried: "Imperial, Gong Yun is not really surrendering to you, you are not sure, can you give it to him?"

Fu Yuancheng calmly evoked his mouth. "What is urgent? Now is the time to verify whether Gong Yun is loyal to him."

Liu Yunyi, "Emperor Yingming.
