There are too few ***, brothers, if you still have them, give them to me... *** tickets are a bit desolate.
——————————————————————
At dawn, it started to rain.
The rain was not heavy, but the pattering of rain made people constantly sad. The continuous autumn rain made Su Wei feel very depressed and his face looked bad.
"Sir, is the market open today?"
"What kind of market is open...haven't the leather goods already been sold out?"
The old housekeeper could tell that Su Wei was in a bad mood.
But he still had to bite the bullet and said: "Master, have you forgotten? The master of the Zhang family sent a batch of furs a few days ago and asked us to try to exchange for some salt. It's just that the master has been busy these days, so he didn't bother to deal with it.
. I heard that the Zhang family in Beishi has established a connection with Haixi, and a large amount of green salt has been transported from Haixi. Do you think you should discuss it with the old Zhang family and make this deal with them? "
If it were in the past, Su Wei would not be very energetic.
But today, he couldn't cheer up at all...
"Let's talk about this later."
"Here!"
"By the way, the caravan has left the city?"
"Don't worry, sir. I watched the caravan leave with my own eyes."
"Then the black spirit in the Northern Wei Mansion, is there any action?"
The steward shook his head and said, "The Northern Wei Mansion is very peaceful. Just don't worry, sir. I have ordered people to keep an eye on it. If there is any action in the Northern Wei Mansion, I will tell you immediately. In fact, why should I worry? Now that the car has left, the goods are gone.
No, we have escaped from it... The county government and the Beibu Lieutenant did not notice, everything is calm. Everything that needs to be dealt with has been dealt with, sir, there is no need to worry anymore."
Su Wei sat up and smiled bitterly.
"Don't worry? How can I feel relieved?"
He stood up and walked slowly to the door of the room, "I got away by luck this time, but what about next time? God knows what will happen.
Liu Bei in Runan is like a plaster. It is not easy to get rid of it. He will never give up without tearing off a few layers of skin.
I think back then, the elder had no choice but to give him some funding.
But do the math, how many benefits has he gained from us over the years? Especially since the Mi family lost power, he has been asking for more from us. After acquiring Runan, I thought it would be better, but look at it now...
If he doesn't do it right, the foundation we have worked so hard to build in Luoyang will be lost in his hands. Your Majesty's choice this time may seem smart, but I'm afraid he chose the wrong person."
The old housekeeper kept silent.
Because he didn't know how to evaluate this matter.
The Su family of Zhongshan can be regarded as a powerful person, doing business all over the world and possessing considerable assets.
When Su Shuang, a descendant of the Su family, passed through Zhuojun, the Yellow Turban Rebellion happened. Su Shuang and others were trapped in Zhuojun and befriended Liu Bei and others. At that time, Su Shuang gave Liu Bei a hundred war horses and a hundred catties of gold.
Nearly a thousand kilograms of pig iron... From then on, Liu Bei and the Su family had close contacts. However, at that time, Liu Bei had not yet accomplished anything, and he did not ask for much. Later, when he arrived in Xuzhou, with the support of the Mi family, Liu Bei
There was no need to contact the Su family. The relationship between the two parties gradually faded, and there was even no contact for a long time.
But who knew that when Liu Bei was taking refuge in Qingzhou, he would send someone to find him again.
And through the power of the Su family in Luoyang, various weapons and equipment secretly transported from Xudu were transferred to Liu Bei's hands in Runan.
Su Wei can be said to be on tenterhooks.
"Liu Xuande seems to be a kind and kind elder, but in fact he is ruthless and daring.
When I killed Zhu Zan, I said it was not necessary... Zhu Zan just found some weapons, so let him check them... I am not the only one who secretly deals in weapons in Luoyang City.
Even if Zhu Beibu finds out about me, we can get away with it. But Uncle Chen refused to die, insisting that the weapons should not be discovered, so he went even more ruthless and ordered people to kill Zhu Beibu.
Good thing now, Zhu Beibei is dead and Cao Beibei is here.
Cao Beibu is obviously tougher than Zhu Beibu, and his methods are also better than Zhu Beibu's...
In business, killing people is not a big deal! Chen Bozhi refused to listen. Well, the more people he killed, the more people he killed, and in the end it was out of control, so he just walked away and let us clean up his affairs. This matter is not over.
! Just watch, Chen Changwen or Cao Youxue will never give up. If not, none of us will be able to escape, and maybe even Xu Du will be implicated."
Suwei almost roared out of anger, but the old housekeeper said nothing.
However, after venting his anger, Su Wei's mood improved a lot.
"Lao Su, pack your things and let's leave Luoyang."
"where to?"
"Go back to your hometown...should you stay and wait for someone to come to your door?"
"What about the foundation here?"
"What should we do?" Su Wei smiled bitterly, "The market is closed. Close the market first. Go back and check the situation. If nothing happens, let's come back."
Su Wei was indeed scared!
The old housekeeper was not an inexperienced person. After listening to Su Wei's venting, he also knew that something was not good.
"Then, I will make arrangements now."
Su Wei sat down slumped, closed his eyes, and nodded.
Even though he doesn't go out much, in fact, he has eyes and ears all over Luoyang.
The Su family's trading house in Luoyang was built during the Chuping period, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and it has only been around for ten years.
At the beginning, the heads of the Su family, Su Shuang and the Zhang family, advocated world peace. They saw business opportunities in the dilapidated Luoyang City, so they worked together to open merchants. Ten years later, the Su family firm has established a firm foothold in Luoyang. They
If he has money, he can bribe local gangsters and tip off the news; he can also recruit a lot of people to look after homes and nursing homes. Su Wei feels that if he is given another ten years, he will be able to control Luoyang North City...at least in Pishi and Ma
In terms of market, he can definitely monopolize the entire market and become the number one in Luoyang Commercial Market.
But now, it’s all gone!
Su Wei sighed, maybe everything was destined from the first year of Zhongping...
————————————————————————————
Chen Shao escorted the vehicle along the avenue.
After leaving Luoyang City, he was in a good mood.
The ordnance and baggage obtained from Luoyang this time is extremely important to Runan. This batch of ordnance originated from the Heyi Workshop and was equipped for the Changshui Camp. Through various efforts, Xu Du,
Transfer this batch of weapons to Luoyang, and then send them to Runan through Luoyang.
Whatever comes out of the river must be of high quality.
This has become a concept recognized by many people.
For this batch of weapons, Captain Changshui Zhongji also spent a lot of effort to get them out of Sikong Mansion.
If it can get into the hands of the lord Liu Bei, it can at least increase Bai Qi's combat power by 30%. Bai Qi was seriously damaged before, especially after Cao Peng forcibly kidnapped 300 people, and his vitality was severely damaged. Later, he was attacked by tiger and leopard cavalry.
, causing heavy casualties to Bai Qi. Liu Bei first gathered a group of elite soldiers in Qingzhou, and then recruited troops in Runan, thus increasing the number of Bai Qi from 400 to 1,500. The number of Bai Qi increased.
, but to achieve the previous combat effectiveness, it will not be successful all at once...
So, Liu Bei thought of the weapons from Heyi Workshop.
If Bai Qi can be equipped with excellent weapons, even if the combat power of Bai Qi cannot be restored to the cause, Bai Qi can become stronger.
Maybe, some people will ask, why did Chen Shao put so much effort into powerful Bai Qi?
Well, you can tell from his name.
Chen Shao's nickname is Bo Zhi, while Bai Qian's coach Chen Dao is also nicknamed Shu Zhi.
Chen Shao is Chen Dao's eldest brother.
Chen Dao has always been the coach of Bai Qian.
But now, Chen Dao's status is threatened.
In the past, a brave general under Gongsun Zan led more than a hundred people to defect to Liu Bei.
This man has a close relationship with Liu Bei. He and Liu Bei became friends as early as the first year of Xingping. Not only that, this man is proficient in guns and horses and has excellent martial arts. When Liu was being chased by tiger and leopard cavalry, he assassinated twenty-three people.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry seriously injured Cao Chun, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry coach, and protected Liu Bei from danger. After his arrival, Liu Bei immediately appointed him as the captain of his soldiers, replacing Chen Dao's previous responsibilities...
In terms of relationship, that person knew Liu Bei first.
In terms of qualifications, he once served under Gongsun Zan and was a brave general of Baima Yi Cong.
In terms of martial arts, Chen Dao was no match for him. Although Chen Dao could also fight, he was just a first-class general. His greatest talent was training and running the army.
And that man's martial arts seemed to be no less than those of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Chen Shao must consider his brother. If Chen Dao's Bai Qian can get this batch of weapons, he will have confidence in Liu Bei's account in the future.
Who can be truly selfless in this world?
"Captain, ahead is Yique Pass."
Chen Shao smiled and said: "What are you afraid of? We have the clearance documents, so we can pass smoothly when the time comes.
By the way, inform Mr. Zhang Liang and let him lead his troops through first. Everyone, please be careful and cheer up. Once you pass Yique Pass, it will be safe."
"Here!"
Yique Pass is the entrance to Xishan Mountain (now Longmen Mountain) and Xiangshan Mountain.
The two mountains stand between each other, and the Yishui River flows through them. This is the only way for Luoyang to go south and Ruying to go north. In the first year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. In order to defeat the Yellow Turban Army and defend Luoyang City, Hanling
The emperor ordered eight passes to be set up around Luoyang. Yique Pass was one of them.
The valleys are connected and have been strategic defensive positions since ancient times.
As long as you pass Yique Pass, you will enter Yingchuan County.
When the time comes, we will pass through Yingchuan River and reach Runan directly...
Chen Shao took a deep breath, urged his horse forward, and rushed to the front of the team.
"Yuanan, have everything been arranged?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Captain, don't worry, the guards at Yique Pass are not too strict. We have the clearance documents in our hands, so they are absolutely foolproof."
"So, very good."
Zhang Liang smiled even brighter.
He was originally a powerful son of Luoyang. When he was young, he studied under Wang Yue and learned swordsmanship.
But later, he was injured after falling off a horse, so he stopped practicing swordsmanship. The Zhang family in Luoyang was not a famous family, but he was loyal to the Han Dynasty.
When the Han Emperor fled from Chang'an to live in Luoyang, the Zhang family was the first to offer food.
Later, Cao Cao welcomed the Han Emperor and moved the capital to Xu County. The Zhang family stayed in Luoyang for various reasons.
It was at that time that Zhang Liang became a secret chess piece of the Han royal family in Luoyang. Leaving Luoyang this time was a good thing for Zhang Liang. He had long been unwilling to stay in Luoyang... He had
Ambitious goals, hoping to establish achievements and revive the Han Dynasty.
Sitting on the horse, he looked down at his calloused left hand, suddenly urged the horse, and shouted: "Speed up, be sure to leave Yique before noon."
The sound of whips continued, horses neighed and people shouted, and the speed of the convoy suddenly accelerated.
When we reached Yique Pass, the rain stopped.
The gate of Yique Pass is tightly closed, and there is no trace of people on the pass.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but be startled and waved his hand to signal the motorcade to stop.
He waved a small school boy dressed as a handyman to come forward. After whispering a few words, the small school boy hurried out of the door.
"May I ask where the military commander in the city is?"
"May I ask, is there anyone in the city?"
The principal shouted several times before he saw a head sticking out of the pass.
"Closed!"
"ah?"
"Henan Yin ordered the eight passes of Luoyang to be closed. No one can pass without Henan Yin's warrant."
Zhang Liang heard it clearly in the crowd and couldn't help but frown.
Chen Shao came over and whispered: "Yuan An, what's going on?"
"Cheng Dabeard ordered the customs to be closed. I don't know if this Luoyang pass document is of any use."
Cheng Dabeard is the new Henan Yin Chengyu. Because he has a beautiful beard, he is called Cheng Dabeard.
Chen Shao thought for a moment and urged his horse forward.
"May I ask, which general is on duty?"
"Is there a problem?"
"General, we are passing merchants and need to send this batch of goods to Yingchuan as soon as possible.
I have here the customs clearance document issued by my master. Could you ask the general to take a look at it and be accommodating and let me wait? The car is full of seasonal goods. If it is late, I am afraid it will delay the market. By then, my master
He will definitely be very unhappy and blame the villain."
"Who is your master?"
"That's the magistrate of Luoyang and the county magistrate of Chen Qunchen."
"It turned out to be County Magistrate Chen, so that's another matter..."
A loud voice came from the top of the city, and Chen Shao couldn't help but feel relieved.
A moment later, the door creaked open, and a group of people rushed out of the pass at lightning speed. The leader was a general, wearing a golden helmet and armor, and holding a pair of broadswords in his hands.
Zhang Liang saw clearly in the crowd and couldn't help being shocked.
"Bo Zhi, retreat quickly!"
Chen Shao was not a fool either. The moment the city gate opened, he foreshadowed something bad.
Subconsciously, he raised his leg and took off the spear. As soon as he got the spear, the golden-armored general arrived. He split his swords left and right and struck at his head.
Chen Shao quickly used his spear to block the attack, and with a clang, his opponent's swords were shattered.
"Meng Tan!"
Zhang Liang roared.
Clapping his horse and wielding his sword, he rushed out of the crowd.
Fell into a trap!
Chen Qun may have been wary of it for a long time, and even suspected the Su family.
The purpose of setting up this poisonous plan today was to get the stolen goods together. Zhang Liang did not dare to neglect and shouted loudly: "Bozhi, you lead people to rush over and I will meet him."
"Yuan An, why did you do such a big thing?"
Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind him. Zhang Liang couldn't help but shiver, and he suddenly turned sideways on his horse.
A flash of sword light passed by and hit Zhang Liang's mount in the crotch.
At this time, Meng Tan and Chen Shao were already fighting together. Hundreds of soldiers rushed out from both sides of the pass, armed with swords and guns, and rushed towards the convoy.
Zhang Liang rolled around on the ground and suddenly stood up.
Before he could stand upright, the cold sword energy hit his face. He quickly waved his sword to block it, with an incredible look in his eyes.
"Shi A, why are you here?"
"If I wasn't here, how could I know you were plotting rebellion?"
Shi A was wearing the clothes of a handyman and holding a long sword in his hand.
But I saw that he had a sword in his hand with extraordinary momentum. The sword flashed and flew towards Zhang Liang...
A series of sword lights enveloped Zhang Liang, and Shi A sneered: "Yuan An, I heard that you are good at practicing the left-hand sword, why don't you use it and let me learn from you? Chi Boyu was killed by you, and Lao Zhu was killed by you.
I ran away from Luoyang in fear. As long as you beat me again, you will be the best swordsman in Luoyang... No wonder you always ask me about the shortcomings of Chi Zhong and Lao Zhu... It turns out that you have the intention of killing them.
.
Yuan An, look at the sword!"
Zhang Liang didn't say anything, his head was downcast, and he was with Shi Adou.
At this time, a person walked out of the pass.
There is a black horse under the crotch, and a pair of broadswords in the palms. The two broadswords are longer than the ordinary dragon and bird rings. The blades have a touch of dark red, exuding a strong murderous aura.
"Meng Nannan, this beast should be dealt with by the future. You should command your men to fight quickly."
Before he finished speaking, the Wuzui horse neighed and rushed into the battlefield like a black lightning bolt.
People are like dragons and horses are like tigers.
When the two swords pass by, the person will fall on his back.
Meng Tan saw that he could no longer compete with Chen Shao for a while, so he simply moved his horse to get out of the way.
Chen Shao rushed over quickly, but when he saw clearly the war horse under the visitor's crotch, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"You are Gan Xingba."
Gan Ning laughed and said: "Rebels, stop nagging, I will kill you."
When the horse arrives, the sword arrives.
Chen Shao raised his spear and carried the cauldron in the Overlord style. With a clang, he blocked Gan Ning's sword.
However, the block was blocked, but the huge force coming from the knife made Chen Shao's arms numb, his throat was sweet, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Before he could react, Gan Ning's sword in his left hand was already in front of him.
Chen Shao tried to dodge again, but it was already too late... Hearing a click, Gan Ning raised his sword and cut Chen Shao off his horse.
When Chen Shao died, the army was in chaos.
Zhang Liang couldn't help complaining secretly, and his sword gradually lost its sense of proportion.
"Zhang Yuan'an, is this all you have?" Shi A shouted sharply: "If that's all, then I really feel unworthy of Chi Zhong."
At this time, what Zhang Liang had to consider was not how to send these weapons to Runan.
After Gan Ning beheaded Chen Shao, he stopped taking action and instead rode his horse to watch the battle. Seeing him staring at him with eager eyes made Zhang Liang feel more stressed.
If you can't get out, all your achievements will be illusory!
Zhang Liang was not willing to have a sword fight with Shi A because he knew that Shi A's swordsmanship was very powerful.
But now...
Zhang Liang knew in his heart that if he kept his hand any longer, he would definitely die today.
The sword in his hand suddenly changed, and after breaking the long sword in Shi'a's hand, he stumbled and twisted around, pulling out a two-finger-wide sword from behind, with a ferocious look on his face, and shouted sternly: "Shi'a, you are bullying me."
You are too powerful... I will let you know the power of my sword."
As he spoke, the sword in his left hand stabbed Shi A like a poisonous snake.
At the same time, the sword in his right hand suddenly turned from fierceness to gentleness, and the sword moved lightly and horizontally. This stabbing and stroking, the coordination was perfect. Shi A couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he praised "good", and immediately stepped forward, integrating his body and sword.
, the fight with Zhang Liang was inextricable.
————————————————————————————
Boom!
With a loud noise, the door of Su Mansion opened.
The wolf-like black spirits rushed into the house, either in groups of three or five, and started brutally killing the servants in Su's house.
Hao Zhao looked calm and slowly drew out the long knife.
Pointing to the door of Su Mansion from a distance, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"kill!"
Behind him, a hundred black beasts were on standby.
Following Hao Zhao's order, he immediately broke into Su Mansion.
From the Su Mansion, there were screams and screams, and the sounds of crying and begging were mixed together, making people feel sad.
Cao Peng sat astride Zhao Yebai and sighed softly.
"With just one thought, it is indeed a pity for such a great family...Brother, let's go in."
As he spoke, he moved his horse to get out of the way. Chen Qun was dressed in a black jacket, wearing a silk scarf on his head, and his face was as heavy as water.
As soon as he urged his mount, the horse jumped up the doorstep. Cao Peng urged his horse to follow him and slowly entered the gate of Su Mansion.
