(If you want to hear more of your voices and receive more of your suggestions, search for the WeChat public account "qdread" now and follow it to give more support to the "Character Talent System"!) Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and said to the scout: "You rush to the back, inform Xiahou Yuan and Xu Shu, and let them turn around and go to the Tiger Prison Pass, where this king is waiting for them." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Cao rushed over to the northwest with Xu Chu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and other only five hundred cavalry, and hurried his horse to the whip, for fear of missing something.

Xiahou Yuan, Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong, Cao Zhen, Xia Houen and others led 5,000 horses to escort Cao Cao and everyone's family members on the official road. They didn't dare to stop, because they didn't know when the Yan army would chase after them, and they were still in a hurry except for desperately hurrying.

Along the way, the vehicles of this towing team were damaged a lot, and some soldiers left the army for some reason, and they have not been heard from since.

Xiahou Yuan walked in the front, he was known as the "Shenxing General", and his only strength was that he was a thief who ran fast, so in order to strengthen the degree of marching, he took the initiative to give up the horses under his seat to others. He marched on foot, but he could catch up with the horses, but he had to take care of those family members, who were not soldiers after all, and after a long journey, they would inevitably get tired.

So, Xiahou Yuan ordered to temporarily stop on the side of the road and rest for a while.

It was also at this time that a scout came to the front, and after seeing Xiahou Yuan, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and bowed: "See the general, the king has an order, and the general is ordered to take people to turn around and go to the northwest." Go to the Tiger Prison Pass, the king said, he is waiting for you in the Tiger Prison Pass. ”

"Tiger Prison? Isn't that the garrison of the Qin army? Why has the king already occupied the Tiger Prison? Xiahou Yuan asked in surprise.

Xu Shu was by Xiahou Yuan's side and said: "I'm afraid that the king wants to compromise and seek perfection, temporarily join the Qin army, and then lie down and taste the courage." Waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback! ”

After hearing this, Xiahou Yuan stopped talking, thought for a while, and said: "Since the king has spoken, then let's go to the Tiger Prison Pass and give the order to go down......"

"General, due south, there is a group of soldiers and horses coming here, and it is the banner of the Chu army!" At this time, another scout. Riding his horse from the south, he immediately told Xiahou Yuan what he saw.

"Chu Jun? Liu Bei's soldiers and horses? What does he want to do? How many people came? Xiahou Yuan was taken aback and hurriedly asked a series of questions.

"The dust is flying, covering the sky and the sun, I can't see how many soldiers and horses, I only feel that thousands of horses are galloping, majestic, and ...... The leader is Guan Yu, the head of the bearded sword, Guan Yunchang......" when the scout answered. The latter words were obviously a little vague, which showed that he had been frightened by the sudden momentum of the Chu army.

Xu Shu immediately made a decision. Said to Xiahou Yuan: "The Chu army is taking advantage of the fire to rob, General Xiahou, quickly divide the soldiers into two groups, advance lightly, and leave here with the king's family first." ”

Xiahou Yuan knew that the matter was urgent, and hurriedly said, "Cao Zhen." Protect your family and leave this place quickly, go straight to the Tiger Prison, don't stay! ”

After Cao Zhen heard it, he said "No", and Xun left the place with his family. Abandoned a lot of useless things, and only used a carriage to pull people away.

Xiahou Yuan turned to Xu Shu and said, "Strategist, please get on your horse and leave this place with Lord Xiangguo and all your lords, and the Chu army will be resisted by me!" ”

"Uncle! You all go, I'll leave it to me here, the Bearded Sword King is just a waste of fame, and I, Xia Houen, won't be afraid of him! Xia Houen pulled out the Qingyu Sword at this time, and Sen Han's sword light was very compelling, "I have a sword in my hand, sharpening iron like clay, why not be afraid of the Bearded Sword King!" ”

Xiahou Yuan didn't think much about it, just patted Xiahouen on the shoulder and said, "Take care!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Man Zhong left here with the cavalry and followed the army of their dependents.

Xiahouen commanded the army that remained, and immediately piled up the remaining vehicles and messy debris together, forming a long circle, and the soldiers hid behind the circle, holding bows and arrows, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army.

In just a moment, Guan Yu wore armor and armor, held the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, rode a red rabbit horse, took the lead, and rushed over quickly, and the dust behind him was even more dusty, covering the sky and the sun, and the sound of the cavalry's hooves was even more like rolling thunder, and the ground trembled.

Guan Yu saw that Xiahouen had formed a position by himself, and all the crossbowmen were hiding behind, and Xiahou Yuan and the others had just left, when suddenly a cold light flashed on the opposite side, which made his eyes light up, and he saw the Qingyu Sword held in Xia Houen's hand, and praised in his heart: "It's really a good sword!" ”

After glancing at the owner of the sword again, he thought: "I have heard for a long time that Cao Cao has two ancestral swords, one is the Heavenly Sword and the other is the Qingyu Sword, the Heavenly Sword Cao Cao brought his own, but the Qingyu Sword was given to a person named Xia Houen, it seems that the person holding the Qingyu Sword should be Xia Houen." If such a sword is not taken for his own use, will he not be violent and destroy the heavens? ”

Guan Yu didn't answer, slapped the horse and danced the knife, and rushed directly to the position that Xia Houen had just formed, the long beard fluttered with the wind, the silkworm eyebrows frowned slightly, Danfeng's eyes opened slightly, and two fine lights shot out of his eyes, and at the same time he shouted violently, the Qinglong Yanyue knife kept slashing the arrows that came from it, and his legs clamped the red rabbit horse under the seat, and the red rabbit horse sensed the call of the master, and rose into the air, directly over the top of Xia Houen's head.

Just when Xia Houen and many soldiers were surprised by Guan Yu's incredible leap, they saw that Guan Yu and the Red Rabbit Horse perfectly fused into one, covering the sun in the sky, and pressing down like a god. At the same time, a cold cold air forced everyone, only to see a cold light flash, Xia Houen's head flew into the air, and the blood sprayed out.

"Boom!"

Guan Yu and the red rabbit horse landed together, and smashed four or five soldiers on the landing, Leng Yansaw crossed a cold light among the soldiers, many people didn't see how Guan Yu came out of the knife at all, they were already in a different place, only a moment of effort, around Guan Yu and the red rabbit horse, there were already more than 20 corpses lying down, and the rest of the soldiers were stunned, and they were all frightened, and they didn't dare to approach Guan Yu.

"In case of surrender. You can avoid death, and you will never kill indiscriminately! Guan Yu's eyes were like torches, he looked around at the frightened soldiers, and let out a low roar, but there was a kind of momentum on his body that looked at the world.

At this time, the cavalry brought by Guan Yu galloped over. The Wei soldiers were surrounded.

In the end, most of the Wei soldiers surrendered, and the few who resisted died at the hands of the cavalry.

The battle ended quickly, Guan Yu took the Qingyu Sword from Xia Houen's corpse, played with it carefully, then put it away, and said to his subordinates: "Collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”

"General, the enemy is in front, if you chase him. Wouldn't it be a pity to be able to have a great harvest and return to the camp here? A partial general said.

Guan Yu sneered and said, "No, just leave it to Yide!" ”

After saying this, they took the captives and went back.

Cao Zhen took the soldiers and escorted Cao Cao and the families of all the adults to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass. Halfway through the road, he suddenly saw a black-faced evil god blocking the way. Cao Zhen hurriedly reined in the horses. He knew this person, it was Zhang Fei with a leopard's head and eyes, but except for Zhang Fei, he couldn't see anyone else.

"Does anyone know your Grandpa Zhang?" Zhang Fei wore heavy armor, an iron helmet, and a spear of eight snakes. Under the crotch was a sleek horse, and he shouted at Cao Zhen when he opened his mouth.

Cao Zhen didn't speak, looked around, and saw that there were faint figures shaking on both sides of the road, so he knew that Zhang Fei had already laid an ambush. He frowned. Hurriedly said to one of the generals beside him: "Huo took people to the side and detoured, and I stayed to deal with Zhang Fei." ”

"Phew! Huangkou child, why don't you answer my words? Seeing that Cao Zhen didn't answer, Zhang Fei became angry, and slammed the Zhangba snake spear forward, and shouted loudly, "Kill!" ”

This loud shout was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, resounding through the heavens and the earth, and Cao Zhen, who was shocked, and the war horses under his subordinates became agitated.

Cao Zhen finally calmed the horses, but when he saw Zhang Fei galloping on his horse, and billowing smoke and dust began to appear in the woods on both sides of the road, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Zhang Fei saw Cao Zhen running away to the side, roared angrily, brandished the Zhangba snake spear and rushed out, and at the same time, a hundred cavalry rushed out from each side of the road, but the woods on both sides of the road were still billowing with smoke and dust, and the flags were fluttering, making it impossible to see how many people were hidden inside.

Cao Zhen first escorted Cao Cao's family and left here, leaving all the 1,000 soldiers behind him, and when life and death were at stake, people's selfishness was immediately exposed.

A thousand soldiers guarded the families of many ministers, seeing Zhang Fei rushing over with the cavalry, they were already exhausted and had no fighting spirit, plus Zhang Fei was brave and unmatched, a loud roar just now had scared the courage of many Wei soldiers, and the frightened Wei soldiers had to panic and scatter in all directions, no matter whose family members were sitting in his car, only escape was the most important.

Seeing this, Zhang Fei took advantage of the situation to cover up the kill, and galloped to the front first, raised his spear and stabbed into the wheel of a carriage, and suddenly overturned the carriage with force, the carriage overturned on its side, blocking the way of other carriages, and several women climbed out of the carriage, screaming and fleeing in all directions.

At this time, there were less than 100 Wei soldiers left, and in order to survive, most of the soldiers fled, while the 200 cavalry of the Chu army were divided into two teams, one left and one right, which just stuck these convoys, gathering all the people together, and no one was allowed to run. Seeing this, the Wei soldiers who couldn't escape expressed their willingness to surrender, and in turn watched this group of unarmed people.

The elderly, women, children, babies all came together, crying.

At this time, Zhang Fei blew a whistle, and more than a dozen knights walked out of the woods where they had been ambushed, with branches tied to the tail of the war horse they were riding, and a puff of smoke and dust was raised behind them as they walked.

At this time, everyone realized that there were only more than 200 soldiers led by Zhang Fei, and they regretted it at that time, thinking that if the soldiers fought at that time, maybe they could defeat Zhang Fei.

"Don't make any noise! Listen to it all! My name is Zhang Fei, and I ...... today Don't even make any noise, don't you hear? Zhang Fei glared and shouted out, only to hear the roar like thunder, and even the beard was erected.

As soon as the roar fell, the noisy sound suddenly stopped, and even the baby's cry disappeared suddenly, and everyone's eyes looked at Lin Nan with a look of fear.

"Well, that's what it sounds like." Zhang Fei saw that his roar had a good effect, so he nodded with satisfaction, "You all listen to me." My name is Zhang Fei, and I am the ...... of Chu State."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei's ears heard the sound of breaking through the air, and with a "whoosh", a feather arrow shot towards him.

He immediately swung the spear of the snake and knocked down the feathered arrow. Eyes glared, eyes scanned all directions, and roared angrily: "Which rat released the cold arrow?" Give me out! ”

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

Immediately afterwards, three arrows flew out together, shooting at Zhang Fei's forehead, throat and heart socket respectively, which were vital everywhere, and the strength of the arrows was also extremely powerful.

Zhang Fei waved the Zhangba snake spear with a "whew", directly knocked down the three arrows, and looked in the direction where the arrows came. But seeing Xiahou Yuan appear at the edge of the woods with a big bow in his hand, he was smiling at him.

"Ring-eyed thief! If you have the ability, come and kill me, and eat me again! Xiahou Yuan pulled out his bow and arrows again, holding three arrows in his hand, and with a string sound, the three arrows shot towards Zhang Fei.

As soon as he opened the bow, he shot out three arrows, and from this point alone, you can know the high level of Xiahou Yuan's archery skills. In addition, the three arrows fired were fired in different directions, and they all moved evenly in the air. The three feathered arrows are parallel to each other at the top, middle and bottom. It can be seen that Xiahou Yuan's archery skills have reached a very high level, and there are very few people in the world who can reach this realm.

The first four arrows were deliberately made by Zhang Feixian, but this time the three arrows contained Xiahou Yuan's hard work, and the three arrows flew out together. The force of breaking through the air is also very loud, and the key points of the three arrows are also opened up a lot, respectively in the head, chest, and legs, even if it is very difficult to block.

Zhang Fei sneered and shouted, "Carving insect skills!" ”

The voice fell. The eight snake spears quickly struck.

"Ding! Bite! Bite! ”

After three crisp sounds, Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear knocked down all three arrows, and at the same time rushed towards the place where Xiahou Yuan was.

Xiahou Yuan frowned, seeing that Zhang Fei actually blocked his three arrows without damage, he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart. At the same time, he hurriedly turned his horse's head, shouted loudly, and galloped away into the woods.

"Xiahou Xiaoer, don't go! Eat your grandfather Zhang's spear! Zhang Fei shouted while chasing wildly, and soon got into the woods, and his voice gradually faded away.

At this moment, Xu Shu suddenly came out of the woods on the other side with a group of Wei troops, and went straight to the Chu soldiers who were guarding the Wei army's family.

It turned out that Xiahou Yuan, Xu Shu, Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, Man Chong and others were on the way to retreat, and met the soldiers who fled back from the front.

In addition, many soldiers were taken in along the way, and after these soldiers saw Xiahou Yuan, they found the backbone again, so they followed them again, and soon gathered five or six hundred people.

The Wei soldiers suddenly appeared, and the cavalry of the Chu army went to meet the enemy, and unexpectedly, the 100 Wei soldiers who surrendered around them counterattacked, and when they fell on their backs, dozens of cavalry lost their lives.

The cavalry of the Chu army saw that the Wei army was outnumbered, and was caught off guard by the Wei soldiers who surrendered, and hurriedly retreated.

After driving away the cavalry of the Chu army, Xu Shu took everyone on the road together, and soon disappeared on the official road.

Zhang Fei chased Xiahou Yuan wildly, and after chasing for a long time, he came to an open field, and the war horse under the seat suddenly stepped on the air, and a big pit appeared on the ground. He was so taken aback that he jumped and somersaulted in the air before he landed, but his horse fell into the pit and was stabbed to death by a sharp stake in the pit.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan stopped, turned around and shot arrows, and the three arrows shot out towards Zhang Fei's three key points.

Zhang Fei skillfully avoided Xiahou Yuan's three cold arrows, and when he went to look for Xiahou Yuan again, Xiahou Yuan had already disappeared without a trace, and he said angrily: "The hateful Xiahou Yuan, you dare to plot against me, you wait for me, sooner or later I will take down your head!" ”

At this time, the cavalry brought by Zhang Fei found him, and told Zhang Fei about what happened just now, Zhang Fei was annoyed, knowing that he was useless, and saw Xiahou Yuan's helmet fall to the ground, so he picked up the helmet, and finally went back to have an explanation.

"Drive!" Zhang Fei asked for a war horse, and after riding it, he shouted loudly and galloped away. And his soldiers followed suit.

When both the Chu army and the Wei army disappeared from this land, a cavalry team galloped from the horizon, and one person was Lin Nan.

Lin Nan took the lead, the dark clouds under his crotch stepped on the snow horse, the black light, full of endurance, and ran all night. There was no fatigue yet. On the other hand, the war horses under the seats of others were already tired, and they had no choice but to stop and rest temporarily.

The army stopped on the side of the road, Lin Nan rode his horse and walked forward for two miles, and there was the overturned carriage and many horseshoe prints and many corpses, some of the Chu army, some of the Wei army, and the wheeled marks left by the carriage were even more clearly visible.

Then. Zhao Yun was worried about Lin Nan's safety, so he brought more than a dozen cavalry guards from behind, and when they saw the mess and corpses left here, they surrounded Lin Nan, looking at the surrounding woods with sharp eyes.

"People are gone early, and you are overly nervous." Lin Nan saw the nervousness of Zhao Yun and the others, so he said.

Zhao Yun said: "Lord, there are corpses of soldiers of the Chu army on the ground. It seems that Liu Bei must have taken advantage of the fire to rob him. This road leads to the Tiger Pass, and the Wei army takes this road. Do they want to attack the Tiger Prison? ”

Lin Nan thought about it for a while, his brows couldn't help but lock, he raised his head and looked at the flowing clouds in the sky, looking at the clouds rolling up, gradually, a bad thought flashed in his mind. hurriedly shouted: "It's not good, Cao Cao is going to join the Qin army." ”

"Defect to the Qin army?" Zhao Yun didn't figure it out for a while, and hurriedly said, "Lord, Cao Cao and Ma are hostile. And some time ago, Cao Cao also burned the ghost cavalry of 10,000 or 20,000 elite subordinates of the horse, if Cao Cao went to take refuge in the horse, wouldn't it be sent to death? ”

At this time, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings in the air and circled down, landing on the shoulder of a carrier pigeon messenger, the carrier pigeon messenger took off the message tied to the pigeon's leg, glanced at the number of the carrier pigeon, and hurriedly handed the note to Lin Nan, and said loudly: "Lord, General Zhang's secret letter!" ”

Lin Nan took the note, hurriedly skimmed it, and said: "Zhang Liao has lived up to my expectations of him, he has completely occupied Yangzhai City, and Lei Bo and Lei Xu, who are guarding Xuanyuan Pass, saw that the general trend had gone, and they also surrendered. Just ......"

"Just what?" Zhao Yun hurriedly asked.

Lin Nan handed the note to Zhao Yun and said softly, "Look for yourself!" ”

Zhao Yun took the note, but saw that Zhang Liao wrote on it that the Chu army took advantage of the fire to rob, and in just two days, he took the opportunity to capture the four counties of Yingchuan, and there was also the stupid move to attack Yangzhai.

"Lord, Yingchuan and Nanyang are adjacent, our army first fought the Qin army, and then the Wei army, now the casualties are too large, the soldiers are tired, if the Chu army comes to fight for the Central Plains at this time, our army will be in a passive situation, we must find a way." Zhao Yundao.

Lin Nan pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said to a cavalryman beside him: "The general of the division has been called, there is something important to discuss!" ”

After a while, Jia Xu, the general of the Yan Army and the chief division of the three armies, rushed over from behind, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately frowned, and he knew very well why Lin Nan called himself over.

As soon as he got off the horse, Jia Xu walked to Lin Nan's side and arched his hand: "Lord, Cao Cao is still on the run, and now the Chu army is eyeing it again, and the Central Plains that our army has suffered so much loss must not be divided up like this, and we must think of a way to let the Chu army retreat without a fight." ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "I called you here for this purpose." I don't know what good strategies the military advisor can have, and he can surrender the army without a fight? ”

Jia Xu thought for a while, and then replied: "My lord, Kan Ze, the envoy of Wu, is in Chenliu, and Sun Ce, the eldest prince of King Wu, has disappeared mysteriously, so it is better to make a fuss about this matter, and say that Liu Bei captured Sun Ce on Sun Ce's return and killed him." After Sun Jian heard this, he was bound to be shocked, and he would definitely avenge Sun Ce and raise troops from all over the country to attack the Chu State. Once the Chu army learned that the Wu army was attacking the Chu state, it would inevitably withdraw its troops from the Central Plains. ”

"My lord, the military advisor has a very good plan, and his subordinates seconded it." After Zhao Yun heard this, he nodded again and again.

Lin Nan thought for a while and said: "Although this plan is good, but Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, Lu Su and his party really have no news, in case the news we gave reaches Dongwu, and it happens that Sun Ce suddenly appears, Sun Wentai will definitely think that I am cheating him." Zang Ba has just occupied Xuzhou, and Xuzhou and Yangzhou are next to each other, so I am worried that Sun Wentai will make changes. ”

Jia Xu said: "The lord's concern is not unreasonable, but his subordinates will definitely do this matter seamlessly. The subordinates still remembered the clothes worn by Sun Ce when he came, which could completely allow the tailor to make exactly the same clothes, and then find someone who was about the same age and figure as Sun Ce from the soldiers. Then disfigured it, dismembered it, and handed it over to Kan Ze, who couldn't recognize who it was. As long as Kan Ze believes that it is true, even if Sun Ce suddenly appears in the future, we can also use this to shirk responsibility. Besides. Bian Xi is stepping up his search for Sun Ce's whereabouts, and once he finds it, he will immediately dispatch troops and kill him, so as to remove Sun Ce's threat. ”

After Lin Nan listened, a treacherous smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Sure enough, it is a poisonous plan, just do it according to what the military advisor says, and this matter must be seamless." Other than that. Send more people to find Sun Ce's whereabouts, if you live to see people, if you die to see corpses, I don't believe that he can be steamed in the world! ”

"No!"

"Zilong, you lead a thousand cavalry to follow me, and follow this road to the Tiger Prison Pass, there is still a certain distance to the Tiger Prison Pass. As long as we catch up, we will definitely be able to catch up with Cao Cao. Military Division. You lead all the others to Yangzhai, and you are in charge of Yangzhai, Liu Bei will inevitably be afraid. In addition, an order was sent to Chen Dao, asking him to intercept Cao Cao from Zhongmu and try not to let Cao Cao arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass. If you see Cao Cao, there will be no forgiveness! Then he gave Huang Zhong an order to inform Wu Guo of Sun Ce's death first. ”

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yun gathered a thousand cavalry, followed Lin Nan and galloped away in the direction of Tiger Pass. On the one hand, Jia Xu passed the book to Huang Zhong Feige, and on the other hand, he left here with Wei Yan, Chu Yan and others, and on the other hand, Chen Dao and Huang Zhong sent Feige to pass the book.

……

Yan country, Yecheng.

Smooth roads, well-planned shops, and an endless stream of pedestrians, the streets are very noisy, the cries of hawkers are endless, and the flow of people of all shapes and shapes is endless.

"Childe, it's been almost half a month, after we crossed the Yellow River, we walked all the way, and all we saw along the way was a peaceful atmosphere, the people here seemed to be very happy, and no one met who didn't say that Yan Guo was good, what kind of magic did you say he had, so many people sang praises to him?" A young man dressed in ordinary people's clothes and wearing a hat walked down the street, looked at the people in the city, and asked puzzledly.

In front of the young man, there was a young man, although he was also wearing the clothes of ordinary people, but the heroic spirit on his body could not be concealed. The young man walked in the market and saw a restaurant not far in front of him, so he pointed to the restaurant and said: "Youping, Zijing, you are also tired, you have walked for so long, it can be regarded as a trekking through mountains and rivers, and finally came to this Yan country, if you don't taste the wine of Jizhou, wouldn't it be in vain?" ”

"Childe, I'm afraid this is not good, we came all the way from Liyang, all in disguise, the restaurant is full of mouths, in case of any accident and the identity is exposed, it is really worth the loss." The young man who spoke before was the Zijing called by the young man, Zijing was his character, and his name was Lu Su.

There is also a burly man beside Lu Su, and that big man is Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping, and the young man in front of the two of them is Sun Ce.

More than half a month ago, Sun Ce, Lu Su, and Zhou Tai took advantage of the imprisoned Dian Wei to make trouble, and Wen Chou went to take care of Dian Wei, and said goodbye to Yan Jun without saying goodbye. The three of them originally planned to go back to Wu Kingdom, but halfway through, Sun Ce suddenly changed his attention and said that he wanted to go to Yan Kingdom to have a look, saying that he wanted to inquire about the people of Yan Kingdom and wanted to know why the people of Yan Kingdom supported Lin Nan so much.

At that time, Lu Su and Zhou Tai both strongly opposed, but they couldn't resist Sun Ce's repeated insistence, and finally agreed.

Later, Lu Su came up with a plan, temporarily mixed into the army of the Yan army, and then waited by the Yellow River, it happened that the Yan women's army was transported to the south bank by a big ship, they mixed on the boat, returned to Jizhou by boat, and then went all the way to the north, disguised along the way, and then arrived in Yecheng.

As soon as he heard about drinking, Zhou Tai's eyes lit up, thinking about the people who had slept in the open along the way, he had never eaten a good meal, nor had he drunk a sip of good wine, at this time, since Sun Ce took the initiative to propose, then of course he agreed, followed Sun Ce and walked forward, shouting excitedly: "Okay, okay, let's go drink." ”

Lu Su frowned, stopped Sun Ce and Zhou Tai, and said: "No, it's easy to make mistakes when drinking, it's better not to drink, we are in Yan Country now, not in ...... In short, no, no, no! ”

"Childe, Mr. Zijing won't let me, so what should I do?" Zhou Tai sighed, turned his head to look at Sun Ce, and asked.

Sun Ce smiled: "Zijing doesn't drink, let's drink." The money is on you anyway. ”

"That's right." Zhou Tai smiled, glanced at Lu Su, and followed Sun Ce.

Lu Su looked embarrassed, touched his shriveled stomach, and said, "Let's go!" Only this once, not for example. ”

The three of them came to a restaurant together. As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Tai shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Boss, if you have any good wine and good food, just go to it." ”

At this time, it was not a meal, so there were not many people in the store, except for the store owner and the shopkeeper, there were only three people: Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su.

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that Zhou Tai spoke with a foreign accent, he came up with a smile and said, "Listen to the three accents." It doesn't seem to be from Jizhou. We Jizhou people are the most hospitable, what do the three want, even if they are told, the small shop will do it. ”

"Well, we are from other places, we are going to Jicheng, passing by here, and we happen to be hungry. Store. If you have any good food in your shop, just go up. We won't give you less money. After Lu Su sat down, he replied.

The shopkeeper said, "Okay, okay, please wait." Man, serve a drink to the three guest officers. ”

The shopkeeper brought a pot of wine and said, "Three guest officers, please use it slowly." ”

"Wait!" Zhou Tai glanced at the wine jug and was very dissatisfied. grabbed the arm of the shopkeeper and said, "Can you change the whole jar of wine?" That's not enough to drink! ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, just come." How much does a guest officer want? ”

"Let's go to the three altars first!" Zhou Taihao said cheerfully.

The shop is small and two. Thinking that business was coming, he immediately hugged the three jars of wine, and after putting it down, when he was about to leave, he was pulled by Sun Ce.

"What else does the guest officer command?" The shopkeeper asked.

Sun Ce smiled hesitantly: "Little second brother, I want to ask you something." ”

"Excuse me, guest officer."

Sun Ce asked slowly: "We fled from the Wei State, the Central Plains is at war, we are afraid of being affected, I heard that the Yan State is stable, so we came over." I heard that the king of Yan exempted the taxes in Yan for three years except for Youzhou, and as long as the people who migrated to other states and counties in Yan can get the land, build houses, settle down, and enjoy the same tax reduction, is this true? ”

"Of course it's true, as long as the people in our Yan Kingdom have not paid taxes for almost two years. Of course, except for Youzhou's, because Youzhou has been reduced before, so it is no longer reduced. ”

Sun Ce asked curiously, "If taxes are not levied, how can you feed so many troops?" If there is no tax, the treasury will be empty, and won't the government drink the northwest wind? ”

"The guest official is really an outsider, but in Yan Kingdom, the government does not rely on taxes."

"If you don't rely on taxes, then on what?"

"By mining."

"Mining? What minerals to mine? The more Sun Ce listened, the more bizarre it became, so he asked.

"The gold, silver, copper, coal, iron and other minerals mined are all controlled by the government, and the gold and silver mined every year are enough to sustain the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Yan Kingdom. Moreover, in addition, as long as the people need it, it can also be sold to the people, that is to say, the government also does business and trades, so most of the government's money comes from the money from buying and selling. ”

After Sun Ce listened, he let go of the shopkeeper, and with all kinds of information from inquiring along the way, his thoughts were opened up little by little, and his brows were furrowed more and more, he was thinking, if these were all in Wu Guo, then Wu Guo could be like Yan Guo.

When Lu Su saw Sun Ce's imitation, he said in a low voice: "Son, there are no taxes here, and it also helps the people to reclaim wasteland, build water conservancy and roads, and also settle down for outsiders, no wonder the people are so supportive." Childe, I don't think we will go to Jicheng, it's almost, it's time to go back, it's been a long time, so as not to worry about the king......"

"Shopkeeper, with your letter, the flying pigeon has arrived." The shopkeeper ran in from outside with a carrier pigeon in his arms and shouted loudly.

Sun Ce glanced at it curiously, and after this look, he remembered that the soldiers of the Yan Army often released this kind of pigeon, and hurriedly shouted to the shopkeeper: "Where do you sell this flying pigeon book?" ”

"Sell? This is not for sale, this is for the army, if it weren't for the fact that our shopkeeper's brother is a military horse, he wouldn't be able to get this kind of thing. This is a tool for our Yan army to transmit information, which is much faster than using scouts, and it consumes less manpower. Our shopkeeper also saw that it was convenient, so he got two from the army, one in our house and one here, and if there was anything, we could send it over. The shopkeeper explained.

"It's amazing!" Sun Ce praised it and hurriedly asked, "Then how can I buy it, I'll pay ten times the price!" ”

"It's not mine, I can't be the master, I have to ask our treasurer. If he doesn't want to sell ......"

At this time, the owner of the shop just finished instructing the chef to make the dish from behind, and walked out. As soon as he came out, he heard Sun Ce pay ten times the price to buy his carrier pigeon, and he said happily: "Yes, I am willing to sell, if I don't sell it at ten times the price, then I will be a fool!" ”

Sun Ce hurriedly asked, "Boss, how should this so-called flying pigeon pass be used?" ”

So, the shopkeeper explained the flying pigeon biography to Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Lu Su in an extremely good mood.

"Then how do you get this pigeon to find its way?" Sun Ce continued to ask curiously.

"I don't know about this, I heard that it is domesticated, as for how to domesticate, I don't know, I only know how to use it. Generally this pigeon is domesticated, if you want to know, it is not impossible, but it costs a little money......"

"Money is good, as long as you can teach me how to use this carrier pigeon, I won't treat you badly."

The shopkeeper saw that the money was open, Zhou Tai paid a lot of five baht money, bought the pigeon, the shopkeeper took the money, and went out for a while, when he came back, he told Sun Ce how to raise the pigeon.

In addition, Sun Ce also asked the shopkeeper a lot of things, and every time he inquired about something, he gave the shopkeeper a little money, and the shopkeeper didn't think much about it at all, so he told everything he knew, and even if he didn't know, he asked someone to go to the army in the city to ask. Later, he felt that it was too troublesome to run, so he simply called his clan brother who was in the army Sima and asked his clan brother to explain them to Sun Ce one by one.

After asking many things, Sun Ce felt extremely incredible, and then, Sun Ce transferred the problems of people's livelihood and civil affairs to the military, and opened his mouth to ask: "So, how is the repeater made?" ”

The military Sima sitting opposite Sun Ce was happy to answer for the sake of money at first, but when Sun Ce asked this question, the military Sima turned cold, looked at Sun Ce, Zhou Tai and Lu Su again, and saw that although the three of them were wearing ordinary people's clothes, they couldn't hide the aura on their bodies, and they couldn't help but have a little more thought.

Jun Sima's hand secretly pressed on the hilt of the knife, glanced at the three people opposite, and asked in a cold voice, "You have asked so many questions in a row, who are you?" ”

Lu Su's military Sima became suspicious, and his hand was also pressed on the hilt of the knife, so he hurriedly said: "Master Jun, we are just passing by, the Central Plains War, we escaped all the way from the Wei State, and I heard that Jicheng merchants gathered, which is the most important in the Yan Kingdom." Our son-in-law used to be in business, and the reason why he disguised himself like this was because he was worried about encountering rogues and bandits. Asking about these is also because our son is curious, just curious. ”

After hearing this, Jun Sima relaxed his vigilance, grabbed the five baht coins scattered on the table, and said coldly: "Since it is a foreign merchant, it is understandable that you don't know about some things in our Yan Kingdom. If you want to stay in Yan Country in the way of business, please register with the Chamber of Commerce in Jicheng, and only those who have officially registered can allow you to do business. Also, it is better not to ask some questions about military affairs, otherwise you will be arrested as a spy. ”

After speaking, Jun Sima turned his head and left, and said to his brother shopkeeper: "If there is anything in the future, don't come to me, just fly the pigeon and pass the book."
