    Lu Rui took the younger members of the Cao family and did not go directly to Xiangyang City. Instead, they went to Jiangling first, where they purchased a lot of specialties from Jingzhou before going north to Jingzhou. All this was to confuse the defenders of Jingzhou, who would otherwise come from the north.  His business trip will definitely be interrogated by the Jingzhou Army.  "Brother Rui, the Jingzhou Army can no longer tell that we are from the north with the way we are dressed, right?" Cao Chong spoke to Lu Rui in a fluent Jingnan dialect.  After staying in Jingnan for half a month, Cao Chong was able to use Jingnan's language fluently.  A gifted child is a gifted child!  "As long as our acting is realistic, there will be no problem." Lu Rui also spoke fluent Jingnan dialect when talking to Cao Chong.  Lu Rui was from southern Jingzhou in his previous life, and he learned ancient dialects very quickly.  With this language in hand, it is easy to enter the city gate of Jingzhou.  Three days later, Lu Rui and his party arrived outside Xiangyang City, Jingzhou.  At this time, Xiangyang's defense was no longer so tight, especially for businessmen coming from the south, and the inspection was no longer very strict.  Since Lu Rui left, Cao Ang's army has been stationed in Fancheng and Xinye without any movement. Jingzhou civil and military officials judged that Cao's army's cavalry was insufficient, and Cao's army would not take the initiative to attack until after the middle of winter.  Outside Xiangyang City, under the leadership of Cai Mao, the northern defense line has been built. Two strongholds have been built at the northern city gate away from Fancheng, a navy stronghold and an army stronghold, forming a triangle with Xiangyang City.  potential.  "Who's coming?" Lu Rui and his party had just arrived at the south gate of Jingzhou when they were stopped by Jingzhou soldiers.  "My lord, my lord. We are a caravan from the north. We have just come from Changsha County in the south of Jingnan." Shi A held up a piece of silver.  Walked in front of the officers and soldiers.  "Businessmen? Caravans? Humph, how can a caravan be just these people? Don't use this silver to fool me!" A school captain suddenly came over and slapped Shi'a's hand, causing the silver ingot to fall to the ground.  "My lord, my lord, listen to me, listen to me. We are indeed from the northern Yecheng caravan, and these two are our young masters. The caravan group has returned to Yecheng, and our two young masters are in Jingzhou  I've been traveling in the south for several months, so I don't want to miss the Chinese New Year before I think of returning to the north. "Shi A has followed Lu Rui for many days and is very sophisticated. The captain is just showing off, so Shi A has to sing along.  "How many months will the tour last? Aren't you deceiving me?" The captain looked at Lu Rui and Cao Chong.  These two people must have come from a wealthy family. They want to kill me just for a piece of silver ingot. It is really disrespectful!  The captain's fingers kept tapping on his palms, sending an obvious signal.  "Anu, give each of them one ingot of silver. This official will give one ingot of gold!" Lu Rui ordered Shi A in standard Jingchu dialect.  "Hey! After staying in Jingnan for a long time, I actually have a Jingnan accent!" Lu Rui patted his head and shook his head.  "Brother! I'm hungry. Let's go to the city for a meal." Cao Chong also used standard Jingchu dialect to push Lu Rui and asked Lu Rui to hurry up and enter the city.  "It seems that this young master knows the truth. In this case, I won't stop him." The captain laughed.  Pointing with his finger, Shi A quickly presented the gold and silver. The captain and the guard guard took the silver and let Lu Rui and his party pass.  "You go to follow this group of people and see where they stay?" On top of the city tower, a scribe was observing Lu Rui and his party below the city tower, and ordered the captain next to him to follow Lu Rui.  "Alien? Do you think there is something abnormal about them, but I didn't see anything?" The captain scratched his head. Lu Rui and his party were all dressed up like children of aristocratic families, and Lu Rui and Cao Chong spoke in Jingchu dialect.  They did a good job of covering up. If they hadn't stayed in southern Jingzhou for a long time, why would they be so fluent in dialect?  What the captain next to the scribe was thinking was also what the gatekeeper was thinking.  "Hmph! Brother Pang, do you know why I have to stay here for many days?" "Why?" "In order to avoid military disasters in Jingzhou and stabilize the court and the world!" "What about that group of people just now?"  "That group of people may be the people I'm waiting for." "Brother Pang, could you please give this letter to the young man in the lead!" "Okay, since Brother Yidu has doubts, then Ji will go and leave.  It's time." The captain bowed his hands and got off the tower.  "Brother Rui, it seems that there are no talented people in Jingzhou. We got in so smoothly." As soon as they settled in the inn, Cao Chong started joking with Lu Rui.  "Brother Chong, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. It's easy to enter the city, but it's not so easy to complete the mission." Lu Rui rolled his eyes. How to instigate civil and military rebellion in Jingzhou is the key. Instigating rebellion is not as easy as talking.  "Sir, someone sent a letter!" Suddenly, Shi A walked in and handed a letter to Lu Rui.  "A letter?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment. What kind of letter? Could it be that he was discovered when he entered the city?  Lu Rui opened the letter and saw only a manger painted on the large silk cloth. Next to the manger was a straight river and some beautiful flowers and small trees as embellishments.  The letter is quite poetic, but the silk cloth surprised Lu Rui and others. Has anyone figured out the identity of Lu Rui and others?  Lu Rui held the silk cloth, his eyes kept swinging back and forth on the table, and his mind began to spin rapidly, thinking about every detail from entering the city to moving in.  "Shi Ah, give this letter to the person who sent it." Lu Rui thought for a moment, then drew a picture of poets admiring the moon and gave it to Shi Ah.  "Yes, sir!" Shi A took the silk cloth that had just been dried by the fire, cupped his hands, and retreated.  Lu Rui was shocked at first when he received the silk cloth, but then calmed down quickly.  This person obviously doubted his identity, but he did not stop him under the city gate, which means that this person did not want to reveal his identity at this moment, so this person may be a member of the pro-Cao faction.  Now that he sent this silk cloth, it was obvious that he wanted to tell Lu Rui about the details. In this case, Lu Rui was not ambiguous and directly compared the paintings to the paintings. He was going to meet this mysterious person tonight.  Except for Cao Zhang, the younger members of the Cao family in the room understood Lu Rui's intention.  "Brother Rui, aren't you afraid that Liu Biao's spies are testing us?" After Shi A left, Cao Pi began to express his doubts. Although he could not leave the city now, Lu Rui would expose himself so soon. I'm afraid that  Not quite right.  "Second brother, you are wrong. If we are Liu Biao's men, what is the difference between arresting us in the city tower and here?" Cao Chong picked up the Lingnan fruit on the table and took a leisurely sip. Cao Chong was not worried about himself and Lu Rui now.  situation.  "Yes!" Cao Pi nodded. Cao Chong is indeed talented and intelligent. No wonder Cao Cao looks down on the disciples of the Cao family. No matter how hard he, Cao Chong, and Cao Zhang try, they are not as favored as Cao Chong. This is a flaw in intelligence.  He was young and lacked experience, but this did not affect Cao Chong at all.  Pang Ji, who was outside the inn, received Lu Rui's reply and was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Kuai Yue was really right. There was something weird about this group of people.  Pang Ji did not dare to hesitate and quickly sent someone to notify Kuai Yue. At the same time, he sent his confidants to investigate secretly around the inn to prevent any unexpected events.  "Young Master, the messenger has replied. The master will come to meet the Young Master tonight!" Shi A returned to Lu Rui's room, cupped his hands, and reported back to Lu Rui.  "Well, I understand. You go down and order the brothers to eat and drink. There is no need to keep vigil tonight." "No!" "Brother Rui, why don't we also order some delicious food? Anyway, there is no entertainment at night.  "Cao Chong understood as soon as he heard Lu Rui's words that he could be a little more indulgent tonight. The delicacies in Jingzhou can make Cao Chong salivate.  "Okay, I'll do as you say!" Lu Rui smiled slightly, and he had to relax when he was working. Anyway, the person who was most worried about his safety tonight was not himself, but the people who wanted to meet him.  "Brother Rui, tell me, who in Jingzhou loves his father?" When Cao Chong saw Lu Rui giving the order, he began to speak casually. There is no need for red tape when speaking between brothers!  "Guess?" Lu Rui touched his chin. He couldn't tell who had his heart for Cao Cao, because there were many celebrities in Jingzhou who had fled to the north, and many of them had good relations with Cao Cao. Who had his heart for Cao Cao?  Lu Rui didn't dare to say anything without any solid evidence.  "Brother Rui, I think it's Uncle Cai. You don't know that when grandpa took you out, Uncle Cai came to our house to patrol the countryside with his father!" Cao Zhang blinked and gave a ghostly smile. These things are Cao Cao's fault.  Cao Zhang couldn't say much about the scandal.  Xunye naturally went to look for flowers and willows. Cao Cao was Cao Cao's wife, but this wife was a bit interesting. He didn't like the wives. Cao Cao was very generous and often introduced them to friends from aristocratic families. Yuan Shao and Xu You were Cao Cao's dog friends. Cai Mao  She is Cao Cao¡¯s wife and friend!  "Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Cao Pi immediately scolded Cao Zhang. At this time, the majesty of his elder brother as the second son of the Cao family was revealed.  "Second brother, who is my father? Everyone knows that my mother has a good temper. If the aunt finds out, hey!" Cao Zhang has no restraints when he comes out and speaks freely. Of course, Cao Cao and Cai Mao went to look for flowers and willows without telling Ding Huhu.  Otherwise, the Cao family will have big problems.  "Humph!" Lu Rui just smiled and listened to the Cao family members arguing.  It's just that although Cai Mao is the official with the best relationship with Cao Cao in Jingzhou, Cai Mao is not a soft persimmon, otherwise Zhou Yu would not be so jealous of him, and Cai Mao is the main combatant in Liu Biao's army. Now Cao Jun's cavalry is paralyzed.  Cai ??It will never surrender without a fight.  If Cai Mao refuses to surrender, then he is someone from the Jingzhou civil service system. Is it Kuai Yue or Kuai Liang?  Or other civil servants?  This is difficult to calculate. After all, these people are basically from the Xi Cao sect, and many of them are important ministers of Cao Wei.  No matter what, the first step of Lu Rui's trip to Jingzhou was considered a victory.  PS: My stomach is finally feeling better, please update a little first!
