2nd Infantry Brigade. Forward Command.

"Damn it. Lao Tzu killed the fucking Northern Army. Zhang Li looked at the soldiers of the 1st Battalion who were killed by the bombing. Jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly. However, shouting didn't do much at all, and things still happened, and in many cases, worse than he expected.

"Sir, retreat quickly, otherwise, once the Northern Army launches a counterattack, the 1st Infantry Battalion will be in danger." A staff officer persuaded.

"Let the second infantry battalion go up, no matter what, Lao Tzu must take this commanding height." Zhang Li said excitedly. The Northern Army's practice of throwing ** bags made him feel very annoyed, this is the current world newspaper, when they bombarded the Northern Army, Zhang Li was very happy, but when the Northern Army attacked them, they suddenly became difficult to let go.

"Sir, no. In this case, we will lose even the second line of defense, and we will not be able to let the second battalion attack. The first battalion must be taken over as soon as possible. Otherwise, there will be ** annoyance. The staff officers hurriedly persuaded him. It was the first time they had encountered such a difficult situation, but this was not the time to talk about it, they had to solve it as soon as possible.

Opposite Cao Cao's headquarters.

"Did you find the artillery unit of the Red Turban Army?" Cao Cao asked a Sima.

"No, General. We searched all the lows of the attack, and it seemed that their artillery units were not ready. Sima said with a telescope. In order to launch a counterattack, Cao Cao gave the telescope to the Sima men to find the artillery as a major threat target.

"Well, that's good. The cavalry was ordered to make an immediate sortie. Fast. Cao Cao decisively threw in his counterattack force, the cavalry. The terrain here is actually not steep, and it is completely possible to launch a counterattack by the cavalry, and after the cavalry takes advantage of the speed advantage to charge down, the infantry will fight another counterattack, and so on. The first wave of the Red Turban Army's attack was completely lost.

"Quick, retreat, brethren of the first battalion." Chen Dajia rushed over with two platoons of troops and shouted loudly.

"Bang. Bang. Bang. Kill. Kill. Come on. Brothers, rush quickly. "A company commander is still shouting loudly and charging, once he jumps into the trench, he will be killed and injured by the ** bag that rolls down from above, and the casualties of a battalion are very large for a while, but it is such a battalion that still wants to attack under the encouragement of the officer, and their offensive spirit is worth learning, but doing so will make their situation extremely unfavorable. In such a situation, it is simply difficult to carry out such a battle.

"Retreat, we can't stand it." Chen Dajia said distressedly. Although the power of those **bags is **, it is also very dangerous to explode all at once, and it can be blown into a large area at once, in such a situation, many things are difficult to deal with, and in the face of such a situation, they have no way to continue to fight for a long time.

"Retreat, hurry, retreat." Chen Dajia shouted loudly, and it was not until this time that the soldiers of the first battalion of the Red Turban Army, who relied on the tactics of crowds, were a little deflated, and some soldiers began to retreat. But it seems that the officers are not reconciled.

"Boom, boom." At that moment, the sound of the earth shaking came from behind the high ground.

"Cavalry, cavalry." A Red Turban soldier exclaimed. They all came from that side, and the casualties caused to them by the cavalry of the northern army were still very large, and they remembered this moment to the bones, they knew the strength of the cavalry, and once the cavalry launched a counterattack, they were at the time when their strength was at their weakest. All of a sudden, it's a big problem.

"Run, run, the cavalry is coming. The cavalry came. "The moment the cavalry appeared, the attack of the battalion collapsed in an instant, and then they fled aimlessly. The escape then turned into a rout. The cavalry counterattack was too swift. The terrain, combined with the speed of the cavalry, dealt a great blow to the battalion, and for a time, the losses were extremely heavy ••••••.

"General, the attack of the Red Turban Army has been repulsed." A Sima said with a smile in the back.

"Well, take the opportunity to regain the second line of defense, consolidate it, and if the Red Turban Army attacks like this, we will fight like this. You must not give the other party a chance," Cao Cao said with a smile.

"But we're going to be careful." Cao Cao said with a smile.

"Pay attention to their artillery, their artillery is the most damaging to our cavalry, if you see the opposing side erecting artillery. Don't launch such a counterattack. The cavalry was not easy to control. Cao Cao said.

"Yes. General, though, General, why don't we just storm the past and occupy the enemy's artillery positions? Sima asked at this time.

"Do you think the Red Turbans are idiots? They would also defend their artillery positions, and it was heard that all of their guns were cast in copper and bronze. Such artillery is definitely expensive. The Red Turban Army must be fully protected. It is very not cost-effective to attack such a position, and it is possible that our cavalry will also suffer. So, the benefits of counterattacking, do not attack. Deal a certain amount of damage to the enemy, and that's it. There is no need to attack too quickly. Cao Cao said. Sima nodded in approval behind him.

Inside the forward command of the 2nd Infantry Brigade. Zhang Li angrily hammered the sandbag a few times, and his hands were bleeding. But he felt more pain in his heart than in his hands.

"Damn it. This high ground, Lao Tzu is climbing, and he has to conquer it. Zhang Li gritted his teeth and said. The surrounding staff officers were also angry, but their losses were still very large, and it has to be said that the command of the officers and troops was even more difficult to deal with than they imagined, and the first attack failed in this way.

Jingshi, Luoyang, Dongmen, there are many people wandering here, they seem to be basking in the sun, or they are going to do some ulterior deeds.

"Hey, dude, do you want a red ticket?" A young man said to a middle-aged man who looked like a rich man.

"Red ticket, what red ticket?" The other party asked puzzled.

"This is it." At this time, the young man carefully took out the red ticket, that is, the land bond, let the other party look at it, and then quickly put it away.

"What is this?" The middle-aged man asked curiously, he had never seen it before, and he didn't know what it was.

"The red ticket is the land bond, the Red Turban Army, you know?" The young man whispered at this time.

"Oh, then, that's a traitor." The middle-aged man was obviously a little bold, but the young man immediately motioned to the other party to be quieter, and the other party immediately whispered.

"This, this is going to kill the head." The middle-aged man said worriedly.

"Let me tell you, I heard that this Red Turban Army has been recognized as a righteous army by the imperial court. You know, it's not a thief anymore. Now the price of this red ticket is rising vigorously, let me tell you, this small piece is an acre of land, good land, you just don't change it to land, and there is interest on it, do you see it. The interest rate is still very high. In a year, you have almost twenty buckets of grain. You buy a few more, and the rations are all there. The price is constantly rising. The young man said.

"No, it can't be a lie." The middle-aged man asked curiously.

"Just like the lottery, I heard that if I won 200,000, the court took 150,000, my mother. The court is really dark. The man said.

"Believe it or not, this thing is worth so much anyway." The young man said.

"Hey, don't go, tell me, how much is your thing?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Not much, three hundred." The young man said.

"Oh, three hundred?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said. In fact, three hundred, one acre of land, is already a cheap sale. The profit in this middle is still very large.

"Three hundred is still expensive, what can you do with three hundred? Tell you, this is today's market, if you don't buy it today, it will rise to four hundred, five hundred tomorrow. If you don't believe it, if you go to their place, it's all the same price. The young man said.

"They're all selling, selling this?" The middle-aged man asked curiously.

"You go and ask." With that, the young man went looking for the next buyer. In fact, the price of these red tickets they bought was not very expensive, one hundred and fifty yuan came in, and yesterday it was sold for up to three hundred yuan, so today was set at three hundred yuan at the beginning, you know, one hundred and fifty yuan may not be able to sell it before, because at that time, the reputation of the Red Turban Army, combat qualifications and anything were not favored. Although the price is set low. This is mainly Wang Ming's idea, because the price is too high, you can't sell it at all, there is no profit margin, and businessmen will naturally not get involved. Naturally, the funds could not be gathered. The Red Turban Army fought on the front line and imported a large amount of materials, and at the same time, a large amount of food also needed to be imported from all over the country. All these places need money, and without money, you simply can't do these things, and you have money. You can do something like that. Therefore, Wang Ming's first reaction was to go out with 100 to 120 yuan, and this part of the bonds temporarily relieved the economic pressure on the base areas, but the war was still going on, and the bonds still could not support the huge war expenses. In desperation, Wang Ming had to print a batch of bonds again. Meantime. He began to sell the bonds intentionally. There are peddlers in Luoyang, Taiyuan, Qingzhou, Youzhou and other places, but the main direction is Luoyang, Beijing, because the market there is the largest and the easiest to accept this kind of bond. Because of speculation. Without the proceeds from these bonds, the Red Turbans would not have been able to fight at all.

Fortunately, the situation changed a lot, the Red Turban Army defeated the Xiyuan New Army, defeated the Northern Army, and won a huge victory in the war, which greatly boosted their morale. At the same time, it also led to the rise in the price of bonds, no, the bonds doubled all of a sudden, becoming three hundred dollars. If it weren't for the victory in the war, the bonds would have been wasted paper, and history might not have recorded such an event.

Near the east gate of Luoyang, because of the enthusiasm of the red ticket, some social idlers quickly gathered, they are all idle people, usually rely on extortion to survive, and now they have joined the peddling, reselling the red ticket. Because this thing makes money. In fact, they may be the earliest group of speculators in the Eastern Han Dynasty, mainly focusing on financial bond speculation, and they are also the first to realize that this thing is the most profitable thing.

Soon, the middle-aged man asked around, and the red ticket became the best endorsement.

"Well, it's all for the price. Brother, in this way, as much as you have, you sell it to me, I will take it. The middle-aged man said with a smile. He suddenly felt that reselling this red ticket might be a very good thing, because his question startled him. The price they offered went from 300 yuan to 400 yuan at once, and there was another person who wanted to pay 350 yuan to buy the red ticket in his hand, which was indeed the best thing to make money. This thing, that's great.

"Want to buy it all?" The young man asked, looking at each other.

"Yes, yes. Right. The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

"Three hundred and fifty yuan, I have three hundred pieces here, you take it, if you don't want it, tomorrow, tomorrow I will rise to four hundred yuan, think about it, let me tell you, four hundred yuan, one acre of land, you just put this land, and twenty buckets of grain, where do you go to find such a good thing." It's simply impossible. The young man said. All of a sudden, the price went up. The middle-aged man couldn't wait to buy them all at once. But if you think about it carefully, the price of this red ticket is like this, and he has also heard about the Red Turban Army. This is quite powerful, I heard that it was the practice of the immortals invited from the sky, and the new army in the West Garden couldn't tell the difference between the north and the south, and I heard that the immortals had shown their true bodies. The soldiers of the New Army in Xiyuan knelt on the ground one after another, surrendered, and became the Red Turban Army, and the same is true for the Northern Army, I heard that there is also Thor joining them, and if you want to fight against the Red Turban Army, you have to fight against Thor, who can withstand this, so the Northern Army was defeated. All of a sudden, the situation became eroded. This land is indeed a worthwhile investment.

"I'll buy this. I buy. Thinking of this, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and then bought these things at once, this is probably the most expensive thing he has bought in his life, how much can a piece of paper be worth, however, he bought hundreds of them at once. It was as if he saw a large amount of land beckoning to him, and he was about to cry with excitement.

In this way, the east gate of Luoyang has become the Eastern Han Dynasty, the earliest place for financial bond trading, which is also the earliest place for financial bond trading, this significance is no less than the Red Turban Army defeated the official army many times, and it is not inferior to the Red Turban Army to obtain a huge strategic victory, because this is finance, he has taken root. If possible, he will push a huge force for everyone to remember that he exists, that he is finance. The east gate of Luoyang is his birthplace.
