"You are very good at disguise now." Lan Tian couldn't help but praise.
Song Chen scratched his head and smiled, "With these years of experience, it will be much easier to do things."
"Yes, the core staff must be able to disguise themselves." Lan Tian nodded in affirmation at first, and then asked: "Has there been any new news from Hu Ke?"
Song Chen shook his head and replied: "Not yet. I have sent people to investigate. Jianye's grain transport ships frequently leave the port and occupy the position of merchant ships. It should be there after a while."
Lantian asked: "The grain ship is shipped to Ruxu?"
Song Chen nodded lightly: "Yes."
After hearing this, Lan Tian looked solemn and continued to ask: "Notify me as soon as there is news. Also, how is the Jiaozhou Chamber of Commerce doing recently? Are there any new movements among the rats in the city?"
"The rats have been very active recently, but everything they can touch is what we want to show them. But there are two new things we want to report to you." Song Chen answered according to Lan Tian's words.
"what's the situation?"
"They have recently given up buying furniture, fruits and other products, and have instead hoarded a lot of rice and grain to transport away. However, I have informed Panyu Commander Yao Qi that the grain ship has been temporarily trapped in Panyu on the grounds that the ships are faulty. In the harbor, those rats are moving around. If there is no special reason, I'm afraid County Magistrate Yao won't be able to hold on for long." Song Chen answered truthfully.
Lantian was very satisfied with Song Chen's behavior. He immediately gave the reason and said: "It's hard to find a special reason? Doesn't Jianye Port restrict the entry and exit of merchant ships? We can definitely borrow it. Jiaozhou also needs to transport grain to support General Guan's war. Fancheng will be released when the war is won.
In addition, businesses in various places were notified to prohibit bulk grain transactions. This is a strategic material similar to weapons. Jiangdong can buy agate, ivory, fruit, tables, chairs and benches from us, but weapons, grain, and ore cannot be bought. "
"I understand, all war-related resources will not be sold, but the purchase price offered by these rats is too high, and it is difficult for the shop owners to resist the temptation, so they simply caught all these rats..." Song Chen looked helpless.
Lan Tian sneered: "The grain that the rats bought at high prices will be confiscated in the end. But now is not the time to close the net to catch the rats. Do you have any questions?"
"It's still related to these rats. In addition to purchasing grain during this period, they also went to the fields and countryside to recruit some lazy people in the countryside under the guise of hiring followers at high prices. Do you want to step in and take care of it?" Song Chen continued.
"Wait a little longer. After all, they haven't broken the law yet, but they can't let down their guard and report the situation immediately." Lan Tian heard this and said, "Hey guys, isn't this the business of smugglers in later generations?" Jiang Dong's detailed work is really clever.
"Wei." Song Chen cupped his fists.
"In addition to the internal affairs of Jiaozhou, we must dispatch capable personnel to travel to Jingzhou, and pay special attention to the situation of the public security and Jiangling." Lan Tian continued to order.
Song Chen nodded, "I don't have to worry about it. General Guan is sending troops to Fancheng. Sir, I'm worried about Jiangdong."
Lan Tian snorted coldly: "Even though things are calm on the surface, those rats represent the real Jiangdong, and they are not holding back anything good behind the scenes."
Song Chen has traveled all over the country and north in these years, and has been in turbulent waves. He is used to seeing intrigues and intrigues. There are no pure friends in the world, only countless benefits. Being able to work with a high-character monarch like Liu Bei and a forward-thinking boss like Lan Tian has already made him proud. It is luck in troubled times.
Shamoko was ordered to go to Longchuan to quell the rebellion. Everyone thought that the process was smooth and would not take too long. However, more than ten days passed without any success.
Lan Tian was worried and sent scouts to find out. It turned out that the Yue people who broke into Longchuan were very cunning and did not confront Samoko's barbarians. As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, the Yue people scattered and fled into the mountains. As soon as the officers and soldiers retreated, they behaved like hyenas. emerge.
After being provoked several times, Shamoko prepared to lead his troops into the mountainous areas for conquest. However, he was finally stopped by Tan Dingzhou's persuasion. He stationed the Wuxi barbarians on the banks of the Longchuan River and passively confronted the Yue people.
The news of Longchuan spread back to Guangzhou. Not only Lan Tian, Jiang Wan and others were shocked, but even the guest Zhang Fei couldn't help but make fun of him: "Ziyu, didn't you learn the art of war in the martial arts hall from the Yue people?"
"Absolutely impossible. How can Sir's wisdom be comparable to that of those people from Shanyue?" Gao Shun hurriedly retorted.
Lan Tian frowned: "Everyone has unique wisdom. There should be some extremely smart people among the Shanyue people, but the actions of these Yue people are unusual. Fortunately, General Sha did not go into the mountains to entangle them."
A local rebellion was not a big deal at that time, and Fa Zheng, as a guest, should not have intervened, but Lan Tian had a great favor for his survival, so he reminded him: "General Lan, Yide has a lot of experience in Wudu, we can't let him Take a hard trip?"
"Uh... it's not impossible." Zhang Feixin said that I am a guest, and I am going to work in the mountains again before my butt is hot?
"Take your time, let's understand the matter clearly before we talk." Lan Tian waved his hand gently.
After all, Lan Tian was the shepherd and rear general of Jiaozhou. Seeing what he said, Fa Zheng stopped trying to persuade him. Just as everyone in the hall was whispering, Lan Yuan burst in with an anxious look on his face.
"Father, Guiyang..."
Lan Yuan looked very impatient when walking and talking, Lan Tian quickly stopped him and said: "General, you should be calm when encountering difficulties. Only when the mountain collapses without changing your appearance can you take on the important task. How is it appropriate to be so anxious? Something is wrong. Speak slowly."
"Prefect Xi sent people to ask for instructions. Wang Jin, the bandit who was entrenched in Guiyang and Zhenyang counties, gathered a crowd to cause a rebellion. Because the bandits numbered three to four thousand people, he wanted to transfer the garrison from Youxian and Chaling back to put down the rebellion. I didn't know that my father What does it mean?" Lan Yuan replied.
Before Lan Tian could answer, Zhang Fei began to mutter to himself: "Are there any bandits in these two places again? When my eldest brother was stationed in Chenxian, I and Zhuge's military advisor fought against them once. I didn't expect them to reappear after so many years."
"Sir, something bad is going on..."
While Lan Tian was still thinking about it, another daredevil Gao Yuan also broke in.
"What's the matter?" Lan Tian frowned.
Gao Yuan looked at the people around him in bewilderment. He raised his head and replied: "There are rumors in Lingling that Liu Zhang colluded with Cao Cao to plot rebellion. Governor Hao sent someone to ask for instructions whether to arrest him and interrogate him."
When Zhang Fei heard that Liu Zhang was plotting a rebellion, he immediately denounced the case and shouted: "My eldest brother is not kind to him. How can this guy dare to rebel? Ziyu, I will deal with him for you."
It was already the frost of the twenty-fourth solar term, and the sun in the Jiaozhou sky was no longer so fierce. Lantian gathered everyone together to taste sweet-scented osmanthus wine, but the two pieces of news were like stones thrown into the pond, directly disturbing the tranquility of autumn.
The news about Xi Zhen and Hao Pu seemed to be an appointment. Two unrelated things, Liu Zhang's rebellion and Wang Jin's rebellion, were put together and linked to the Yue people in Longchuan County. Lantian instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy.
"Ziyu, I didn't expect that your rule would be so chaotic." Zhang Fei saw that Lan Tian ignored him, so he laughed and joked with everyone.
"Everyone, I'll drink the sweet-scented osmanthus wine later. Please move to the combat hall." After finishing speaking, Lantian stood up without any expression on his face.
