"General Lee is dead!"
Li Kan's head flew up, and blood gushed out like a spring, and his body died instantly. However, the head was gone, but his body was still upright. The strange appearance made everyone feel an inexplicable meaning.
Such a fast knife...
On most of the city walls, time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Although it was only a short moment, it was deeply remembered by everyone. Next to Li Kan's body, the young man covered in blood, bared his teeth in a fierce manner. In an instant, the Xiliang soldiers were in chaos... I don't know who shouted first,
The entire Lintao City suddenly erupted in excitement. Zhang Heng, who was conducting the command at the city gate tower, couldn't help being startled when he heard the shouts. He turned around and saw a familiar face flying towards him, snap.
fell at his feet.
Li Kan, dead?
"Tiger head?"
At this time, Gan Ning also saw the young man's appearance clearly and couldn't help but call out.
Wangmai, it’s actually Wangmai!
He is not dead...
Gan Ning was immediately overjoyed and his spirit was lifted up.
"Li Kan is dead. If you don't surrender, how long will it take?"
Gan Ning waved his shield, slapped a Xiliang primary school student to the ground, and rushed over with his sword. At this time, the Xiliang soldiers were unconscious. Li Kan was suddenly killed, which put great pressure on them.
, and even felt a little confused. And the defection of the fifty soldiers before the battle made them even more overwhelmed and turned into a mess...
The young man, no, it was Wang Mai who stared at him and yelled: "Those who want to become hegemons and have their arms whitened are all dressed in robes."
"I know!"
As Gan Ning spoke, his sword had already chopped down the two of them, and he quickly joined Wang Mai.
"Tiger head..."
"Brother Gan, we'll talk later, grab the city gate first!"
Gan Ning nodded immediately, "I'm here to hold off the thieves, you just do what you want."
He raised his head and saw Zhang Heng. Without saying a word, he rushed forward. Wang Mai swung his sword and rushed towards the city. While killing, he shouted: "Zhu Dao, let me seize the door... don't
If you want to fight, let’s capture the city gate first.”
Zhang Heng finally came to his senses at this time, pulled out his sword, and directed his soldiers to stop Gan Ning.
At the same time, Cao's troops outside the city began to swarm in. The trebuchets in Lintao City became chaotic without a command. Six Jinglan chariots rumbled forward, and Cao's troops on the Jinglan chariots bent their bows and fired arrows.
The suppressed Xiliang soldiers at the top of the city were unable to fight back... Gan Ning was like a mad tiger and climbed onto the city gate tower. The big knife in his palm flew flying, and the sword cloud was heavy. Wherever he passed, corpses were strewn on the ground. Zhang Heng
It was obviously too late to stabilize his position... Seeing Gan Ning getting closer and closer, he panicked and turned around to run away without giving up the command.
At this moment, a loud noise was heard from the city gate, and immediately after the city gate opened, Cao Cao's army poured in like a tide.
Zhang Heng's face turned pale, and he suddenly dropped his weapon and said loudly: "No more fighting, Zhang is willing to surrender!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Mai climbed up the city wall again along the other side of the Chi Road. He happened to meet Zhang Heng face to face...
Without saying anything, he raised his hand and struck with a knife.
Zhang Hengzheng shouted to surrender, but Wang Mai ignored him at all.
One's eyes turned red, and the other didn't resist at all. There was only a click, the sword flashed, and Zhang Heng's head fell to the ground!

How did Wangmai appear in Lintao?
Let’s talk about this, let’s start with the Qiang Dao... At that time, Wang Meng had not died in the battle, and Wang Mai was ordered to inspect the affairs of the Qiang Dao.
However, he had never had any experience in handling government affairs, so although he felt some headaches about the chaos in the Qiang Dao at that time, he was not aware of the crisis hidden in it. The rebels of the Shenlang Qiang and Baima Qiang took the opportunity to sneak into the Qiang Dao city.
.And after nightfall, they suddenly launched a sneak attack, cooperating inside and outside...Wang Mai was caught off guard. Although he fought to the death, he could not prevent the fall of the Qiang Road. Fortunately, his own soldiers fought to the death to protect Wang Mai and escape.
After escaping from the Qiang Road, Wang Mai only had about ten people left with him.
At this time, the entire Wudu County was in chaos. Huang Hua, the prefect of Wudu, was killed by his tribe. Zhang Lu's general Yang Ren occupied Ju County and cooperated with Yang Ang to quickly approach Hechi. Wang Mai saw that the situation in Wudu had deteriorated.
It was hopeless, so he prepared to return to Rongqiu. However, when passing through Wudu Road, he unexpectedly encountered a caravan...
The caravan of the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce!
Since the beginning of summer, the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce has begun to take action.
After half a year of preparation, Li Ru cast a large number of low-quality five-baht coins containing lead, with a total quantity of up to 300,000 coins.
Su Shuang, on the other hand, began to penetrate into Xichuan through the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce.
He secretly entered Chengdu with a large amount of low-quality five-baht coins. While opening a store, he put the bad coins in his hands into the Xichuan circulation market in batches. Then he used the power of these currencies to purchase a large amount of grain, satin, Shu brocade, etc.
Xichuan supplies. It seems that Xichuan has been peaceful for too long... Since Liu Yan took over Yizhou, the Land of Abundance has had good weather and good harvests every year. This has also resulted in a large backlog of goods in Yizhou, but due to various reasons, it cannot be sent out to Bashu.
.The hoarding of this large amount of goods has resulted in extremely low prices in Xichuan.
For example, a bucket of grain, in the Xudu market, plus 300 yuan, an average of one kilogram of grain, is equivalent to about 20 yuan. This is the price of grain after a bumper harvest in the fields and Cao Cao's regulation... relatively low grain prices
In areas such as the Southeast and Daxi areas of Xuzhou, a pound of grain is clearly priced at twelve yuan on the market. However, in Yizhou, it can be bought for only eight yuan. If you buy in large quantities, the price may be even lower, six yuan,
You can even sell it for five yuan...
Su Shuang did not put out bad coins on a large scale, but mixed and matched bad coins with furs, cattle and sheep and other commodities from outside the Great Wall, and carefully invested them in batches. In this way, a large amount of materials were continuously transported from Xichuan to Hexi.
The bad coins in Su Shuang's hands were also constantly decreasing, but neither Liu Zhang of Yizhou nor Zhang Lu of Hanzhong knew anything about it. After nearly four months of operation, Su Shuang decided to temporarily stop releasing bad coins... After all,
, investing hundreds of millions of dollars at once is too eye-catching, and it is easy for people to notice the abnormality.
But even so, Su Shuang still released nearly 80 million bad coins in Yizhou.
This amount sounds large, but in fact it is only 80,000 yuan. These 80 million bad coins are scattered in 146 counties in Yizhou, just like stones sinking into the sea, and will not attract anyone's attention at all. Li Ru designed a ten-dollar coin
The plan is to invest five million yuan of bad currency in Yizhou within ten years and completely destroy the entire Yizhou.
Five million yuan, one thousand yuan, totaling nearly five billion...
You can imagine what the consequences will be when these five billion five-baht bad coins are completely invested in Yizhou.
Because the stakes were so high, Su Shuang had to be cautious. Eighty million was a lot, so we could wait until the market digested it.
What can 80 million buy?
Let’s put it this way, during the Three Kingdoms period, a few famous big businessmen, such as Mi Zhu, only had assets of over 100 million. Of course, this over 100 million refers to the monetary capital of the Mi family. Their hidden assets combined were estimated to be
It's like 300-400 million. But invisible assets also include many business routes, customers and other things that cannot be evaluated. After Cao Peng locked up the salt road in Haixi, Mi Zhu's assets shrank immediately... Mi Zhu spent more than 100 million
The assets were fully funded to lay a foundation for Liu Bei. So the assets of 80 million are almost equivalent to Liu Bei's foundation in Xuzhou...
The arrival of these goods in Hexi will greatly alleviate the shortage of materials in Hexi in the coming year.
At the same time, it will also bring huge benefits to Cao Peng...but these benefits cannot be seen in a short period of time.
Su Shuang ordered Zhu Dao to escort a batch of goods and evacuate Hanzhong, where he happened to meet Wang Mai.
Originally, Zhu Dao did not recognize Wang Mai, so the two of them were always wary... It was not until the news of Wang Meng's death came that Wang Mai showed his flaws. For this reason, Wang Mai almost got angry with Zhu Dao, but fortunately the two of them
, speak up in time.
Lintao is lost!
Shi Tao's whereabouts were unknown, and Wang Meng killed Bai Shi in battle.
Wang Mai was so sad and angry that he refused Zhu Dao's invitation to go to Hexi, and decided to sneak into Lintao County with Buqu.
"Afu will definitely avenge his father and will take back Lintao sooner or later.
I am going to Lintao to support him... When the time comes, I will kill Ma Teng and avenge my father."
When Zhu Dao was in Luoyang, he had offended Cao Peng.
Although Cao Peng had made it clear that he would not argue with him, it was still a thorn in Zhu Dao's heart.
He is not an ignorant commoner. His early career as a knight-errant made him understand the principle of "settling accounts after the fall".
Therefore, Zhu Dao always hoped to establish some meritorious deeds to further promote the relationship between him and Cao Peng. However, he could not find the opportunity. Zhu Dao did not understand military affairs and did not know how to handle government affairs. Although he was good at it, he
He had a sword, but it was not a way to fight in battle. Therefore, he could only serve Cao Peng in name under the Hexi County Chamber of Commerce.
Who is Wang Mai?
That's Cao Peng's sworn brother!
He ranked seventh in Xiaoba Yili and was also the person who had the closest relationship with Cao Peng.
It can be said that although Xiao Bayi is closely related, the two people who can really make Cao Peng crazy are Wang Mai and Deng Fan. After all, these two people had already been involved in Cao Peng's affairs before he arrived in Xudu.
Already as close as brothers...
If I can help Wang buy one, given the relationship between Wang Buy and the young master, the young master will definitely value me!
In everyone's heart, there is a creeping tiger, a tiger eager for fame. I think back when Zhu Zan, the fourth child in Xiaobayi, was killed, Cao Peng was desperate to avenge him and find the truth about Zhu Zan's death. Now.
If it was Wang Mai who was closer than Zhu Zan, how could Cao Peng not recite the blessing? Well, even if Cao Peng didn't recite it, Wang Mai would do it... no matter who recited his blessing
, for Zhu Dao, it is a broad road.
"If you don't dislike me, I wish you the best and I would like to take my brothers with you and do your best for me."
Wang Mai thought about it and felt that this was reliable.
After all, he only has a dozen Buqu in his hands, so it is not easy to start an uprising in Lintao City.
And Zhu Dao is a master of swordsmanship, and all the powerful men under him are also good swordsmen. I wish him a helping hand.
So Wang Mai asked Zhu Dao to select forty wealthy people from the escort team and sneak into Lintao together.
It was at this time that Li Kan and Zhang Heng were ordered by Ma Teng to take over Lintao County... Hao Zhao had already gathered his troops at Luomen, and Gan Ning also led his troops to Dashan Pass. Li Kan and Zhang Heng were panicked.
At a loss, he quickly recruited troops and horses in Lintao.
Recruitment under such circumstances is bound to be a mixed bag.
Many conscripted soldiers were sent to the battlefield without even having time to train. Therefore, there is no procedure to catch up with Yashiro and check his wealth. As long as you sign up, I can accept you, but you will take care of your own weapons.
Zhu Dao joined the Xiliang army as a knight-errant and received the military position of Du Bo.
Then, he quickly gathered Wang Mai and others around him to form a team, and then lurked in Lintao County.
Not long after, Gan Ning led his troops to the city.
Wang Mai and Zhu Dao mingled with the Xiliang army and boarded the tower.
When Gan Ning personally led Bai Ling'er to attack the Lintao city wall, Wang Mai knew that the time had come...
That's why he turned against Li Kan and Zhang Heng in battle!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++
The gates of Lintao City were opened, and Cao Jun poured into the city.
After Zhang Heng and Li Kan were killed in the battle, the Xiliang soldiers were leaderless. Although there were still some die-hards who were resisting desperately, they no longer had much impact on the battle situation. The cries of killing gradually increased as Cao's troops continued to enter.
weaken.
Gan Ning and Wang Mai rode together and patrolled Lintao Long Street.
There were corpses everywhere on the roadside, and from time to time you could see groups of Xiliang soldiers, under the custody of Cao Jun, walking out of the city with their heads in their hands.
On the bank of Taoshui River, a simple prisoner of war camp is being set up.
The prisoners will be imprisoned in prisoner-of-war camps, awaiting their final fate...
"Hutou, uncle's matter..."
Gan Ning looked at Wang Mai's gloomy face and couldn't help but want to say a few words of comfort.
Wang Mai waved his hand to stop him, "Brother Gan, don't try to dissuade me, I'm fine... Now that Lintao has been recaptured, please send someone to inform Ah Fu as soon as possible. I guess Ma Tengruo knows that Lintao was captured by us."
After hearing the news, they will immediately abandon Zhangxian and Xiangwu and turn around to attack us. This Lintao is the throat connecting Hanyang and Wudu."
The tiger head seems to have grown up a lot!
After experiencing so many things, he became calm and able to distinguish the important from the important.
"Don't worry about this. I will immediately send someone to inform Ah Fu... Then I will switch defenses with Bo Dao. If it comes to attacking the city and taking territory, I will not lose to anyone. But if I want to strengthen the wall and clear the country, I will be far away."
Not as good as what Bo Dao did.
Hutou, do you want to go with me to garrison Rongqiu?"
"No, I want to stay here!" Wang Mai gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If I can't go to Ma Tengxiang to behead him, I, Wang Mai, will not be the son of man in vain."
This guy seems to have made up his mind to fight Ma Teng to the death!
Gan Ning also knew that he could not persuade Wang to buy.
In fact, apart from Cao Peng, the people who can persuade Wang to buy at this time are probably Cao Ji and his wife and Cao Peng's sister Cao Nan. Unfortunately, these four people are not here... Gan Ning thought about it and made up his mind.
determination.
In this case, I will postpone the attack on Wudu.
Bo Dao and I are stationed in Lintao together. Even if we die, we must protect Hutou Zhouquan so that I can explain to Ah Fu one day!
