Cao Cao said sternly: "Since the general has agreed, I will return now and let the caravan guards escort the goods to the checkpoint. Please ask the general to switch the switch and let us enter Longguan so that we can go to Liangzhou."
"no problem!"
Luan Tiquan replied readily.
This time, in order to make profits and get benefits, Luan Tiquan also played tricks.
Cao Cao stood up and said, "I'll take my leave!"
"Go for it!"
Luan Tiquan waved his hand.
Cao Cao got up and walked out. Under the leadership of the soldiers, he left the room. At this time, the deputy general beside Luan Tiquan came over, looked at Luan Tiquan, and said solemnly: "General, do we really let Cao Shang do this?"
The caravan passed by? It was such a big caravan. We only took over 10% of the goods, which was really too little. I suggested that once Cao Shang's caravan arrives, massacre the caravan and then take their goods.
The goods have been annexed. Anyway, we don’t need to worry about the merchants’ affairs.”
"Hahaha……"
Luan Tiquan suddenly laughed and said, "Do you think I would be so stupid as to let Cao Shang pass?"
When the deputy general heard this, his eyes widened and he said, "Could it be that you are..."
Luan Tiquan took the words directly and said: "I deliberately deceived Cao Shang. Hmm, if I don't lie to him, how can I make him feel at ease and let him pass willingly? The reason why Cao Shang came here is to gamble.
I will let you go. These Han businessmen were reselling goods everywhere and making money when wars broke out."
"At this time, he can naturally earn countless money by taking a trip. Once I show a little dissatisfaction, or even show that I want to open my mouth, I may alarm Cao Shang."
"An old businessman like Cao Shang is extremely cunning."
"As long as the general shows a trace of murderous intent, he may be alarmed. At that time, he may superficially agree to the general, and then lead the caravan to leave and no longer go to Liangzhou."
"The agility of a businessman is like that of a dog, extremely astute."
"So, I want to stabilize Cao Shang."
Luan Tiquan said with a complacent expression: "I will open my mouth first, and then reduce the conditions. Cao Shang will naturally agree after weighing them. Under such circumstances, Cao Shang came with the caravan. As long as they enter
Once inside the Long Pass, we are like a turtle in an urn. Yes, as the Han people say, we are like a turtle in an urn. If we want to deal with Cao Shang, it will be a piece of cake."
"The general is wise!"
When the deputy general heard this, he couldn't help but echo.
The deputy general was also extremely happy. As the commander-in-chief sitting at Longguan, Luan Tiquan ate meat, and they could also get some soup to drink, which would always bring some benefits.
Luan Tiquan said: "Go and get busy!"
"Here!"
The lieutenant got the order, got up and left.
After the lieutenant left, Luan Tiquan called in the singer and the girl for his entertainment, and continued to play in the room. On the other side, Cao Cao had quickly descended the tower, then disappeared on the official road and entered
In the forest.
Cao Cao entered the forest and soon met Gan Ning and Huang Zhong.
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Old General, General Gan, Cao has fulfilled his mission. This time, he successfully convinced the general stationed at Longguan."
Huang Zhong asked: "Mr. Cao, how did you discuss it specifically?"
Cao Cao smiled and said: "Speaking of which, it's actually not a big deal. The main reason is that the general at Long Pass is greedy. I proposed to pass Long Pass, and then the general at Long Pass asked for 15% of the profit. In the end, he ended up like this
If he agrees to the conditions, he must be planning to wait for us to pass and then swallow us whole."
"Although the idea of the General of Longguan is well thought out, he never expected that our purpose is not to do business through Longguan, but mainly to enter the gate of Longguan."
"As soon as we enter, we can summon an army."
"With a fierce attack by the army, Longguan can be conquered."
"So, as long as the general of Longguan becomes greedy, it doesn't matter whether he wants 15% of the profits or monopolizes all the goods. He has fallen into the trap."
Cao Cao said solemnly: "Now, we will select three hundred soldiers as escorts to escort the carts of sand and gravel, and then go outside Longguan. However, the first few carts must still contain some genuine goods to avoid random inspections by them.
.”
"That's no problem."
Huang Zhong nodded.
Cao Cao continued: "Now that the plan has been successful, let's start preparations. Next, we will prepare immediately. At around midnight in the afternoon, we escorted the goods and deceived the gate of Longguan into opening."
"no problem!"
Huang Zhong nodded and answered.
Several people reached a unified opinion and went into the forest.
While they were making arrangements, they also arranged for people to go to the rear to inquire about the situation. They were not worried about the war in Chencang County. After all, Wang Can was there, and Zhao Yun was enough to stop Maodun's attack.
What they have to worry about now is that before taking Long Pass, Mao Dun's army will suddenly arrive, which will disrupt all the occupation, so Huang Zhong must make arrangements.
There was no news from the rear before the announcement in the afternoon.
Cao Cao, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning mobilized 300 of the most elite soldiers, and then escorted the carts of goods, and soon appeared on the official road, heading for the checkpoint of Longguan.
Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai have already led their soldiers to quietly lurk near Longguan.
As long as Cao Cao gives the order, they will fight out.
As Cao Cao got closer and closer to the city gate, the winding motorcade also approached. When he was less than a hundred steps away from the gate of Longguan, the Hun soldiers on the city tower had already reported the news to Luan Tiquan.
Luan Tiquan rushed out excitedly. He saw the long convoy outside the city and the carts of goods, and his eyes lit up. This thousand kilograms of salt, plus a thousand bolts of silk, as well as some grain and goods,
It was enough for him to make a fortune.
"Come here, open the gate."
Luan Tiquan did not arrange for anyone to go downstairs for spot checks, but directly ordered the switch on and off.
With the current battlefield situation, Luan Tiquan does not think that the Shu army has the strength to resist. Luan Tiquan even thinks that Zhao Yun may not be able to defend Chencang County. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for this caravan to appear.
Accident.
Therefore, Luan Tiquan took no precautions.
"Crunch!"
The checkpoint gate of Longguan slowly opened.
As the city gate of Longguan was opened, the official road to Liangzhou became smooth.
The team led by Cao Cao, Gan Ning and Huang Zhong kept closing the distance. When they were less than ten steps away from the closed door, Cao Cao looked up and saw Luan Tiquan. He looked up and bowed his hands in a gesture of gratitude.
Respect for Luan Tiquan.
At this moment, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning and others were all excited.
It’s about to break!
As soon as Huang Zhong and Gan Ning entered the checkpoint, Huang Zhong approached the right side of the checkpoint gate and immediately ordered: "Do it!"
Gan Ning moved closer to the left, drew his sword out of its sheath, and immediately started to kill the Huns soldiers inside the city gate.
The other soldiers also quickly took action.
The three hundred soldiers who followed were nominally caravan guards and were required to carry weapons. So they easily pulled out their weapons, then killed the Huns soldiers blocking the gate one by one, and quickly occupied the city.
door.
"No, I fell into a trap!"
The cry of killing rang out from below the tower, and Luan Tiquan understood immediately.
At this moment, Luan Tiquan also panicked.
The Shu army actually appeared in the place where he felt most at ease, which was really incredible.
"Quick, quick, mobilize the troops, fight them out for me, and kill the Shu army."
Luan Tiquan ordered loudly.
Thanks to Luan Tiquan, who was about to slaughter the caravan that entered, there were still hundreds of Huns soldiers inside the checkpoint. So following Luan Tiquan's order, these hundreds of Huns soldiers immediately rushed out and quickly resisted
The attack by Huang Zhong and others.
At this moment, Cao Cao also ordered the attack.
"call out!"
A loud arrow shot up into the sky, and on the official road outside the city, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led thousands of troops and quickly rushed out.
The majestic attack of this army shocked Luan Tiquan even more.
Unexpectedly, he was ambushed.
Luan Tiquan ordered the soldiers to fight back. On the city tower, the Huns' horn sounded to summon the soldiers to fight. As the horn sounded, in the camp inside the checkpoint, one by one the Huns quickly raised their swords and rushed out.
However, this period of comfortable life greatly reduced the Huns' combat effectiveness.
They gathered in a hurry and were unable to form a fighting force.
In particular, the defeated Huns soldiers in the pass could not stop the offensive of Huang Zhong and Gan Ning, and were quickly defeated. The army led by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai also followed behind.
The army poured into Longguan, and Gan Ning led the soldiers to resist the rescue soldiers from the Huns camp. Huang Zhong led the army, under the guidance of Cao Cao, to kill on the tower of Longguan.
Not long after, the army climbed onto the tower.
When Luan Tiquan saw Cao Cao, he was extremely jealous. He took the sword from the soldier's hand and shouted: "Cao Shang is a thief, take your life!"
He rushed towards Cao Cao with his sword in hand, preparing to kill Cao Cao.
However, Huang Zhong rushed in unexpectedly.
Huang Zhong entered the battlefield and immediately blocked Luan Tiquan. He saw Huang Zhong's broadsword slashing down continuously, one after another, continuously, and the power wrapped in the sword continued to increase, causing Luan Tiquan to retreat continuously.
As soon as Luan Tiquan and Huang Zhong fought, they knew they were outmatched, and when they saw that the soldiers under their command were being held back inside the checkpoint and were unable to rush to the top of the tower, they knew that Long Pass could not be defended.
"withdraw!"
Luan Tiquan defeated Huang Zhong with one blow and gave the order to retreat.
Even if the level was lost and Mao Dun was in trouble, Luan Tiquan couldn't care less. Under the current situation, he had no choice. If he stayed, he would die in Long Pass.
Luan Tiquan raised the knife and retreated, but Huang Zhong's mouth curled up with a sneer. He thrust the sword into the ground and inserted the end of the handle into the brick wall. He stretched out his hand, took off the long bow from his waist, and then twisted it.
A bow and arrow were placed on the bowstring.
"middle!"
Huang Zhong shouted low, then let go and let go of the arrow.
The bow string vibrated, and the bow and arrow escaped from danger, whistling, and headed straight for Luan Tiquan's vest. (To be continued)
