Sun Ce thought happily: "You must know that Gan Ning's force is only Zhou Tai in Jiangdong, and Zhou Cang and other non-human ranks can be compared!"

Of course, Gan Ning also met with the hero Shi A who went to war with Sun Ce as he wished. He heard what Shi A said in person, and truly believed Zhou Shan’s previous words. He even turned to the Jiangdong Army with no doubt.

With the boat, the construction of the pontoon bridge is naturally easy and simple. With the skillful boat-handed skills of Gan Ning, a stable road quickly emerged on the river surface of this not-wide river.

Sun Ce immediately ordered Zhou Shan's scout camp to set off immediately, cross the river first, and sneak into Xiangyang first.

Tomorrow, we will cooperate with the brigade to seize the city gate, set fires everywhere in the city, spread rumors, and disintegrate the fighting spirit of the defenders.

In the early morning, Xiangyang City is still quiet in a peaceful tranquility. This old city, which has a history of 800 years, is becoming increasingly heavy as time passes. Xiangyang is the gateway to the upper reaches of the Han River, connecting Ruluo to the north, Qinshu to the west, Huguang to the south, and Wuyue to the east.

In terms of the world, the emphasis is on Xiangyang. Xiangyang has been a place that military strategists have fought for since ancient times, but now it is the capital of Jingzhou. The ancient brick walls face the rising warm sun, and the gray-brown city walls seem to be coated with a layer of warm red light in the rising sun.

The bitter cold of winter makes people who have nothing to do with important things rather sleep all night and lie in the warm quilt for a while than get up easily and leave the warm quilt and the warm home.

But there are still many people who have to get up early for life and start working hard every day with heavy chills.

The city gate slowly opened in the difficult sound of the spinning shaft. There were about a dozen county soldiers who had been resting all night and had to go to work in high spirits early in the morning and open the city gate. As the heavy suspension bridge fell on the opposite bank of the wide moat, it means that a peaceful life in and outside Xiangyang City began again.

The county soldiers on duty today looked at the people opposite the moat with sympathy, waiting to enter the city to make a living.

"I think I will get up so early when I take the turn. But the people on the other side have to get up early every day, brave the biting cold, and come to the city from a distant place in the village. I just hope to exchange some small production of my family for more food than in the town. It's really hard for the people!"

Shi Chang's eyes swept across the river, and suddenly he felt something was wrong there. He thought of something vaguely, but he couldn't catch the clue, and could not make the doubts appear clearly in his mind.

He lowered his head and frowned and pondered, whispering: "Strange! It must be something wrong, what's going on?"

The two sergeants under him looked at the opposite side while holding their hands in their sleeves, trying to keep their hands warm. Seeing that their boss suddenly became stunned, they both hugged and looked around and came forward.

He made fun of him: "Boss, why didn't you see your sister-in-law all night? You're so panicked!"

Another continued, "That's right, my sister-in-law is as beautiful as a fairy. If it were my wife, I would have to be unable to sleep all night! We should be better off. If I could marry such a beautiful wife, this life would be worth it! Haha!"

I usually like to joke about meat and vegetables, but today I was unexpectedly in a bad mood to get along with my two brothers.

"Go! You two dogs can't spit out ivory bastards, stop making trouble. Don't you think something is wrong today?"

Following the long sight, the two saw that the suspension bridge had begun to crowd the people from all directions entering the city.

One of them laughed and said, "I was scared! What do I think of it! There are more people today. Boss, you forgot that today is a city to make trouble (go to the market). What's so strange about the number of people coming from here in the ten miles? If you don't believe it, I'll ask!"

While he spoke, he reached out to hold a woodcutter who was passing by and tremblingly carrying a large load of wood into the city.

He shouted sternly: "Boy, are you from the village? But the spy from outside?"

The young woodcutter was stunned, but suddenly turned red, pointing to his ears and his mouth, showing that he couldn't hear what he said, and screaming, but he couldn't speak. He was actually a deaf and mute person.

The sergeant who pulled the mute out of the crowd spat: "Your wife! I told me to meet a deaf and dumb waste in the early morning! It's such a fucking bad luck! Get out, get out!"

In the angrily shout, the commander raised his leg and kicked the mute who was still pointing fingers. A hint of anger flashed across the mute's face, but it quickly disappeared, turned around and walked into the city gate with firewood.

The doubtful Shi Chang was just watching at first without saying a word, and when he saw the mute coming into the city gate, he suddenly shouted loudly.

"stop!"

The mute woodcutter's footsteps subconsciously paused, and immediately realized that he wanted to walk into the city.

Shi Chang had already smiled and shouted: "Take it down for me!"

The guards had already raised their weapons tacitly and surrounded the mute who was still trying to resist. The mute who was pointed at by more than a dozen weapons and could no longer move. At this time, I was afraid that if he performed a little abnormally, there would be more than a dozen blood-spill holes on his body.

Shi Chang didn't move, but just looked at the frightened people around him calmly. His years of military career made him know that these spies should not act alone, and that their accomplices must be among the chaotic people around him.

He hopes to use his years of experience to develop a pair of sharp eyes and find a few enemy scouts. This can also slightly shock those thieves with ulterior motives.

But until the city guards tied the disguised woodcutter tightly and sent it to him. He did not find any of the hundreds or thousands of people in front of him that showed any obvious flaws. I don’t know if it was really gone or it was too good to hide it.

Maybe the sergeant was too lucky, and the woodcutter was too lucky. He was caught casually.

Shi Chang looked at it for a while and had to order the release. The stagnant crowd began to surge into the city again, until the last person outside the city

He also walked into the city. The guards of Shi and his men did not meet the spy accomplices who had been expected to be exposed.

Shi Chang couldn't help but wonder: "Is it really my own mistake in judgment? It shouldn't be! So it seems that these spies have bigger plans. What kind of information would they want to spy out from Xiangyang City?"

Walked to the tied man: "Tell me, I know you are neither deaf nor dumb, so don't pretend anymore. What do you want to do when you come to Xiangyang? How many people are there? Where can I meet?

Don’t hold on anymore, confess it well, and we will treat you well. If you don’t say anything, you should know the consequences. It’s not worth it! Your brothers who haven’t seen you have given up on you? No one will come to save you at all!"

The woodcutter pretending to be mute was really dumb. He just raised his head slightly and looked at the slightest bit of his heart who was not giving up and wanted to seduce him to speak. He lowered his eyes again, and ignored him as if he had not seen this person.

Thank you for your friend Miki Yan’s reward again! What a great person! Haha!
