11. Water thief Ding Feng
Ding Fengzi Chengyuan was originally the leader of a water thief on the Yellow River. It is not easy to negotiate business on the Yellow River, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, Ding Feng pondered to find a place to make a big vote.
I've heard people talk about how prosperous Nanpi City is, so he brought two of his subordinates to step on the spot and see if he could. The three of them went around the city a great way, bought a lot of things, and did not leave the city until late in the evening.
Since it was decided to loot Nanpi City, it was natural that Ding Feng and the three of them would not be the only ones to step on it. In fact, Ding Feng sent a total of four teams, each team of three people, and the tasks were different.
"Big brother, we have all inquired clearly, the name of the garrison in this city is Gao Lan, but it seems that he has not been in the city recently." Ding Wu leaned over to Ding Feng and said. This Ding Wu is a general under Ding Feng, originally called Dong Wu, he was very valued by Ding Feng, so he recognized him as his brother and changed his name to Ding Wu. This time, Ding Feng sent him to learn about the army and generals in the city.
"Recently, however, it is said that two powerful men have come to the city to take over the army soon after Gao Ran left, but their names have not been inquired about." Seeing that Ding Feng didn't speak, Ding Wu continued.
"Big brother, we are not going to attack the city, but just to grab a vote, only a brother can guard the city gate, we will run away after grabbing it, and we are afraid that they will not succeed when we get to the water." The man who spoke was named Li Ba, a leader under Ding Feng, who had two boats and more than 100 brothers under his command.
"Well, what Li Ba said is also reasonable, but this city gate is the most important thing, if the city gate is taken away, won't we become a turtle in the urn." After Ding Feng finished speaking, he glanced at Ding Wudao: "The old five will be handed over to you when the city gate is opened!" Be sure to wait until we come back. ”
Listening to Ding Feng's words, Ding Wu cracked his mouth and smiled, then patted his chest and said, "Big brother, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will protect the city gate." ”
The rest of the people had no objections, so Ding Feng arranged for a leader to lead the boat to the bank of the Yellow River to meet them, and the rest of the people were divided into three groups to disguise themselves as caravans and infiltrate Nanpi City.
It is said that Liu Bei secretly took over Nanpi City, he implemented Han Fei's thoughts, and implemented several loose policies for merchants, so that merchants came and went endlessly, especially when the New Year was approaching, merchants from all walks of life in Nanpi City gathered to be lively.
After Ding Feng and the others paid the entrance tax, they easily entered Nanpi City. They still stepped on a good spot yesterday, and went straight to Xicheng, which is a place where merchants gathered, and seeing that the New Year was approaching, many merchants packed up the money they had earned for a year and prepared to go home for the New Year. Every merchant is a moving gold mine at this time, not to mention that there are hundreds of merchants here. Ding Feng and his men set their sights on these merchants.
Mi Zhu is the head of the Mi family in Xuzhou, but now the form of Xuzhou is unknown, the Tao family, the Cao family and the Chen family all have official status, but the Mi family is a pure merchant family, so that it feels powerless when competing with the other three. Therefore, Mi Zhu also came to this time for another purpose, which is to expand the Mi family's business in Jizhou.
Mi Zhu was pondering in the lobby, and suddenly the housekeeper ran in with a crawl, shouting as he ran: "The master is not good!" There are robbers who have robbed us of our silver and goods! ”
Mi Zhu was startled at first, and then laughed: "How is this possible in the city, butler, you are mistaken!" ”
"Sir, it's really not just one of our merchants in the West Market who has been robbed by them!" The butler threw himself on the ground and wailed, panting for air.
"Ahh Mi Zhu's first reaction when he heard it, isn't it that Nanpi City is too guarded to kill chickens and take eggs? Combined with the news he just got, this Nanpi City is no longer in the hands of the Xin family, and has secretly changed owners. Could it be that he wants to take the money of the merchants? No, this is not a joke, since this person knows that he is behind the scenes, how can he be so short-sighted. Thinking of this, Mi Zhu said to the housekeeper: "You don't have to panic, it's just a loss of some money, you don't want to go to the West Market, go directly to the Taishou Mansion!" I'm sure Taishou will give us businessmen an explanation. ”
At this time, Liu Bei already knew about the rebellion in the West Market, and he urgently ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to catch the robbers alone, and to guard the city gate alone, so as not to let this group of bold people escape.
After the order, Liu Bei was still not at ease, and ordered someone to get his armor, and he took his personal guards to Xishi in person, he wanted to see where the thief dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head.
When Liu Bei felt that the West Market was in a mess, many of the injured were still rolling on the ground and wailing, but the gang of robbers was gone. "Damn! Give me chase! Liu Bei immediately ordered to chase after the city gate. Just after crossing two streets, I heard shouts of killing in front of me. It turned out that Zhang Fei and his people had already blocked the gang of thieves.
Zhang Fei was training the army today, and suddenly a soldier came with Liu Bei's order, Zhang Fei saw that it was still back and immediately ordered all the people and horses to kill Wang Xishi. However, he raised his mind and did not go straight to the West Market, but chose to come to this intersection. This is the only place to go to the city gate, and sure enough, Ding Feng and his party were blocked here. "The thief is gone! Your third grandfather is here! Zhang Fei roared, and raised the snake spear to take Ding Feng directly.
Ding Feng was about to scold Li Ba to death in his heart, if he hadn't robbed the army, how could he be blocked. But scolding and scolding, at this time, it is better to rush over first, thinking of this, Ding Fenghuang greeted him with a long knife in his hand.
Zhang Fei's hair was all stretched at this time, and the snake spear drew three phantom shadows straight towards Ding Feng's head and shoulders. As soon as Ding Feng saw Zhang Fei's move, he knew that he had met a master, but he was not timid, and as the leader of the water thieves, Ding Feng also had his own pride.
The long knife drew an arc and stopped Zhang Fei's snake spear. The two weapons collided together in mid-air, and when there was a loud bang, Zhang Fei's body shouted: "Good skills!" The snake spear swung and smashed down like Mount Tai crushing the top.
Looking at Ding Feng's right hand, the tiger's mouth was numb, and the long knife was almost out of his hand. He secretly said in his heart: "This person is definitely a first-class master, I'm not as good as him, if not, I have to get away quickly." At this moment, Zhang Fei's second spear fell. Ding Feng held the knife in both hands and went out, there was another loud noise, Ding Feng intuitively felt that his arms were about to break, and the war horse under his crotch let out a long roar, and almost collapsed to the ground.
Ding Feng suddenly exerted his strength and put the snake spear aside. At the same time, he turned around and shouted, "Li Zhen, come and help me!" ”
Li Ba also woke up at this time, if he couldn't defeat the big black man in front of him, he and his gang were afraid that they would die here. So he gritted his teeth and stabbed Zhang Fei with a big gun.
Zhang Fei didn't put Li Ba in his eyes at all, he shook the snake spear and pointed it at the head of Li Ba's spear. Li Ba seemed to have been hit by a horse, and his body was crooked and almost fell off the horse. He didn't dare to strike again, lay on the horse's back, and rushed to the side.
Ding Feng scolded secretly in his heart when he saw it, he usually blows it badly, but TMD only coaxed it with one move! There was no way, Ding Feng had to shake the long knife and step forward to fight Zhang Fei again.
