Be a master through ancient times

Yuguan Island and several other islands are not too big, but there are many vegetation on the island, and it is convenient for the Japanese to hide. It is a position that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

According to Marshal Zhu's previous thinking, he wanted to directly send troops to encircle these islands, then keep shrinking the encirclement, and then wipe them all out.

Only in this way, I am afraid that many soldiers will have to sacrifice their lives.The Japanese have been stationed there for a long time and have taken advantage of the geographical advantage. How can they be defeated easily?

However, in any war, how can there be no undead?If these Japanese people were not driven back to their hometowns, there would only be more casualties.

Chu Ci also understood this truth, but he felt that it would be better if he could solve the problem without spending so many troops.

Zhu Wei smiled wryly and said: "It's easy to say, but hard to do. In such a position, unless we just surround and don't attack, wait until the Japanese run out of ammunition and food before throwing ourselves into the net. But although there is no food on those islands, the birds will There are a lot of things like beasts, insects and fish. I have heard that Japanese people like to eat raw food, and eating these can also fill their stomachs, so the siege method may not be very effective."

Chu Ci shook his head: "How can we just watch the Japanese eat these things? Only by delivering the food in person can we show the aura of our great country."

When Fan Ju heard it, his heart was not good. How could this Chu Ci have a pedantic and sour temper, saying such words that fuel the enemy's arrogance?But when he looked up and saw the calculating smile on Chu Ci's face, he swallowed back the words that were about to blurt out.

Zhu Wei, who was on the side, also sensed the meaning of his words, but he was still a little elusive about his specific thoughts. He asked a little eagerly: "What's the best opinion of Chu Tixue? Let's just say it bluntly. Let's talk by ourselves. Don’t do those twists and turns. Lao Fan and I are straight-minded, too many twists and turns are easy to get knotted.”

Chu Ci couldn't help laughing. In the ancient times, the people he dealt with most were civil servants, and they were all face-saving. At first, he didn't feel quite used to hearing such a hob talk like Zhu Wei.

Fan Ju also chimed in: "Yeah, Brother Chu, what do you think? Tell me what you think. I thought civil servants could only read what they said. If every civil servant was like you, we gangsters would be ashamed." I'm all convinced."

Wearing one after another of high hats, Chu Ci was a little bit flustered. He indulged for a while, then woke up, and said seriously: "The Japanese people probably don't know about Zhao Kuan's arrest. As long as we make people disguise themselves With Zhao Kuan's appearance, he will give them food and grass, and then he will secretly prescribe medicine, and he will be able to capture these Japanese people without any effort."

Zhu Wei was overjoyed at first, and then frowned: "This method is good, but it's a bit difficult. Let alone whether you can successfully administer the medicine, it's impossible just to make people look like Zhao Kuan. Those The Japanese must be very familiar with him, and if he reveals his secrets, they will startle them and make them take precautions."

"Not necessarily, these Japanese people may not be very familiar with Zhao Kuan."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you still remember those Japanese people in the prison? Their task is to deliver information. If Zhao Kuan had done everything himself, people would have noticed that something was wrong."

"What you said is also reasonable, but if you are not familiar, you are not familiar with each other. You must have seen each other before. You can't even look different."

Chu Ci smiled mysteriously: "It's not difficult. When I inspected the water bandits before, I found that a Japanese man was carrying a medicine powder for disguise. Out of curiosity, I asked for this thing. As long as you smear this thing on, you can easily look like Zhao Kuan. The most urgent thing is to find someone who is similar in shape to Zhao Kuan. Otherwise, the face is exactly the same but the body shape is very different, which will still attract people's suspicion. Also, This person must be proficient in the Japanese language, and when he deals with the Japanese, he must speak in the Japanese language, and it will be bad if he can’t open his mouth to speak.”

Zhu Wei frowned tightly, the conditions were so harsh, where would he find such a person?

Fan Ju had a sad face at first, but after a while he laughed out loud: "Brother Chu, brother Chu, why are you literati so dishonest when you talk? You obviously have someone in your heart, but you still want us to guess." for what?"

Chu Ci smiled and said nothing, but Zhu Wei looked puzzled: "What are you talking about, why can't I understand it?"

Fan Ju faced Zhu Wei, imitating Chu Ci and smiling mysteriously: "This person is far away in the sky, but close in front of us!"

Zhu Wei: "...??!"

……

"Nephew, you've made me miserable this time, alas!" On the big ship going out to sea, Meng Fan stood on the deck and looked into the distance, only to see that there was no expression on his face, but his mouth was talking non-stop.

The attendant with a black and yellow face showed a disobedient smile: "Uncle Meng, what are you talking about? Didn't I come too?"

Looking at the slightly changed Chu Ci and himself whose entire face was covered with paste, Master Meng couldn't help rolling his eyes with difficulty.

But despite the quarrel on the surface, he was grateful to Chu Ci in his heart. If this can be done, his transfer at the end of the year will be sure.Although Du Ti is a sensible person, and there is nothing wrong with working under him, but it is always unpleasant to have someone surnamed Qi occupying the top.Especially the one surnamed Qi is still in cahoots with the governor, they always do things, but the benefits are all there.

In the past few years, Meng Fankong has a passion, but he has no chance to show it, which is really distressing.

Seeing that the island was getting closer and closer, Meng Fan became a little timid again, and asked in a low voice, "Nephew, will we not be discovered?"

"Probably not, as long as your old man's legs don't shake."

"Then Zhao Kuan really didn't say anything?" Meng Fan asked again.

Chu Ci shook his head: "No, he insisted that the grain and grass were not given to the Japanese, but sold to foreign countries. Apart from the crime of smuggling grain and grass, there is no real evidence to prove that he really has connections with foreign countries. You can put him in prison, but you can't do anything to him for a while."

"Is there no clue in his family?"

"No, this person is very cautious. His house has been searched, but no evidence has been found. Master Fan has ordered people to intercept his wife and daughter, hoping to find answers from them. In addition, if today's actions can If it succeeds, there should be evidence left on the Japanese side."

Meng Fan sighed: "I hope so. Speaking of which, I have eaten at the same table with Mr. Zhao several times. At that time, I thought he was a rare benevolent businessman, but unexpectedly he was a spy. What do you think?" , why did he spend money to build so many piers for Nanmin?"

Chu Ci thought for a while, and said: "Only when the pier is in his hands, and he wants to transport supplies, will he not be discovered so easily. On the official pier, every time a shipment is made, there will be people from the government to check Whether he brought salt, iron, tea and other prohibited items. After he funded the construction of the dock, the local government would only hold him in high regard, and the government must turn a blind eye to what he wanted to transport."

"Oh!" Meng Fan sighed deeply again.

After another five or six miles, the boat will arrive at Yuguan Island, where the dividing line between the inner sea and the outer sea is already located.The official ship of the Wei Dynasty sent it here, and went back with a semaphore.

However, Zhao Kuan's boats kept going forward, and they did not stop when they crossed Yuguan Island, but went forward for another mile or two.After a while, the boatman turned the bow and returned to Yuguan Island, and stopped near the waves on the island.

Chu Ci secretly sighed in his heart that Zhao Kuan was really thoughtful, and the boat would move forward and then turn around, it must be because of his order.Although he is now in prison, his boatman still faithfully carried out his orders, and by the way, he also helped the sailors on board to win the trust of these Japanese.

After arriving, the boatman automatically went back to the cabin on the second floor to wait, while the sailors pretended to be Zhao Kuan's trusted subordinates, and came out of the boat carrying sacks full of grain.When the sacks on the island were piled up into a hill, a few figures suddenly appeared on the seemingly uninhabited island.

The man was chattering to Meng Fan who was pretending to be Zhao Kuan. Chu Ci stood aside and only understood a few words, as if to ask him, why did he come so late this time?

Meng Fan lowered his voice, saying that the Wei people were too strict, and it was hard for them to come out.

The man suddenly asked, "Fujiwara-kun, what happened to your voice?"

Meng Fan pointed to his throat, and said helplessly: "There was a strong wind a few days ago, because I was worried that I couldn't go to sea, I couldn't sleep all night, I caught the wind and cold, and my throat hurt badly." After finishing speaking, he coughed weakly a few times.

Chu Ci lowered his head, trying to piece together the meaning of the words, the word "actress" flashed in his mind, who just asked nervously what to do if someone found out.

After the Japanese man heard this, he was very moved, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart. In fact, he had only heard Zhao Kuan speak two or three times. In the past, a group of people specially delivered news to them, but last time these people were caught, Zhao Kuan had no choice but to come in person.

"Fujiwara-kun, go in and take a rest. Those Wei people have just patrolled once, and the next time should be in the afternoon." The person who spoke was proud. They have been hiding here for several months and have never been seen by the Wei people. I found out that the reason is that they have mastered the habits of the Wei people.Moreover, these islands are in the outer sea, and the Wei people only come out to patrol the sea about once a month.

Although they patrolled frequently for more than a month, they still failed to find their traces.

Zhao Kuan thanked them, and then led everyone to follow them into the island.

The area of ​​this island was much larger than they looked, and the group of people walked for about a quarter of an hour before arriving at the Japanese camp.After arriving here, Chu Ci slightly raised his head and looked around carefully, only then did he understand why they could not be found all this time—their tent was covered with grass and trees from the beginning to the end, and it looked like green from a distance, who would have thought In such an environment, there actually lived a group of Japanese people.

Thanks to Meng Fan spending time with the Japanese in the prison day and night, he always pays close attention to them, so he learned a lot about the likes and taboos of the Japanese, as well as the small movements they habitually make. The Japanese chat did not show any flaws.

After sitting in the tent for a while, Meng Fan pushed that he was tired and wanted to rest, and the Japanese took him to an empty tent for him to have a good rest, and left after speaking.

"Huh..." Meng Fan's mood relaxed. He had been in a highly tense state just now, and he was afraid that if he accidentally exposed his flaws, a whole boat of people would lose their lives.
