Chapter 212: Punishment Fan Chou
Zhang Liao galloped his horse and chased after him, the speed was extremely fast, and he rode beside him, but he was afraid that he would lose, so he hurriedly whipped his pegasus and chased him. Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to arrive at the Chinese army, a shout suddenly sounded, and the crossbowmen on both sides suddenly shot arrows in unison. When Zhang Liao saw it, he couldn't help but change his complexion, and he was anxious to restrain the horse, sweep the halberd, and a few arrows shot at Zhang Liao's sitting war horse first. In order to protect the war horse, Zhang Liao actually twisted the halberd to hit it first, and there was a few sharp bangs, just as the rear rider caught up, blocking a lot of cold arrows for Zhang Liao. However, Rao was like this, Zhang Liao was still injured by this sneak attack. Zhang Liao's right shoulder suddenly sounded a 'bang', and then he saw blood flying. Immediately afterwards, a few arrows flew past Zhang Liao's body, and the subordinates around Zhang Liao were dumbfounded.
"Hit an arrow!! Zhang Liao was shot~~!! A Xiliang general saw it with great eyes, and shouted in ecstasy. It was Fan Chou, who was on the run, who was on the run, who was shocked, and turned back the horse with the generals, and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha~~!! Zhang Wenyuan, although you are brave and strategic, you don't know that on the battlefield, as long as it is a momentary miscalculation, you will never recover!! You beat me bravely, only slightly better than me, but you lost on experience!! Generals, take his head with me!! ”
Fan Chou's Pegasus galloped, and more than a dozen burly Xiliang generals followed. The cunning Fan Chou, in the case of Zhang Liao's arrow, has to bully more and less!
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Liao. If Zhang Liao wants to escape, the morale of his army will definitely plummet, and Fan Chou will pursue him with great momentum, so that no matter what deception Zhang Liao makes, as long as his army is broken, not to mention turning the tide, but at least the overall situation can be stable. But if Zhang Liao didn't escape, Fan Chou also believed that he and the generals would fight desperately together, and they would be able to successfully kill Zhang Liao!
"Zhang Wenyuan, you are fighting! It's an escape! Fan Chou's eyes widened, the fierce light burst out, and he secretly slandered in his heart.
At this moment, Zhang Liao grabbed the arrow in his right shoulder, like an angry lion, opened his mouth and roared: "There is only Zhang Wenyuan who fights to the end, and there is no Zhang Wenyuan who escapes!" Who is going to send to death~!! Zhang Liao's roar shook the sky, and behind him, a vague white-haired lion and tiger beast suddenly erupted, and as the arrow was pulled out by him, the blood just flew up from the wound, Zhang Liao rode his horse and took the initiative to meet it!
At this moment, whether it was Zhang Liao's deployment or Fan Chou's deployment, all of them were nervous, as if they saw Zhang Liao turn into a desolate beast that devoured the heavens and the earth!
"Zhang Wenyuan, take your life~~!!" At the moment of life and death, there are people who can quickly suppress their fear and fight angrily. But he saw a Xiliang general lift the big axe, kill Zhang Liao first, rush in front of Zhang Liao at a gallop, and cut it when he lifted the big axe. Zhang Liao's face was cold, and the halberd swept away violently, and the two weapons collided suddenly. But it was Zhang Liao's strength that was far superior to this person, and he sent the entire person of General Na Xiliang away with his weapons. Soon, two more Xiliang generals were killed, Zhang Liao met and killed, only to see the three weapons flying rapidly, sparks bursting, and in a while, the two Xiliang generals, one was stabbed in the chest and fell off the horse, and the other was cut off his head.
In an instant, Zhang Liao was three generals in a row, and he was extremely powerful. The confidence and courage of the Xiliang generals who were killed were suddenly hit. Seeing this, Fan Chou was shocked and annoyed, raised the ghost mace in his hand, and Pegasus rushed over. Zhang Liao quickly caught up and killed with Fan Chou. The cavalry behind Zhang Liao caught up one after another, and they were mixed up with the remaining Xiliang generals. Meng Ke's heart was beating when he saw it, and he hurriedly taught the troops to rush to help in the battle. Suddenly, there was a series of killings from the rear, but it was Gao Ran who had already killed Liu Wang and Zang He, two generals under Fan Chou, and were going to kill.
For a while, the battlefield was abrupt, and the final trend may fall on the victory or defeat of Zhang Liao and Fan Chou.
"Whoa~~!! Zhang Wenyuan, I don't believe that I can't kill you!! Fan Chou twisted the ghost mace, even if he attacked violently, Zhang Liao, who had lost the opportunity, could only twist the halberd for a while. I saw that under Fan Chou's repeated onslaught, the wound on Zhang Liao's right shoulder continued to burst, and the blood flowed like a spring.
"Kill !!" Fan Chou's face was full of hideousness, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, the more uneasy he was, the more fierce the attack became, and he didn't want to give Zhang Liao any chance to fight back.
It was another sharp and heavy stick, but Zhang Liao did not block it with a halberd, but only moved to dodge at the moment when Fan Hou was about to smash down. Under Fan Chou's efforts, the 66-pound mourning ghost mace has at least hundreds of catties of power, but if Zhang Liao is hit, I am afraid that even if he does not die, he will be disabled.
At this moment, even Fan Chou, who had been fighting for many years, couldn't help but hold his breath!
Recite~! Between the rise and fall of the rabbit and the crane, the ghost mace smashed into the air with a gust of wind. Fan Chou's complexion suddenly changed drastically, and he saw that the terrifying white-haired lion and tiger beast suddenly appeared again, and opened its bloody mouth wide, and leaped over.
"Fly! Lion! Swallow! Month~!! Zhang Liao's halberd flew up, as his name suggested, like a lion swallowing the moon, the momentum was not only extremely fast, but also terrifying, Fan Chou's heart was ready, only to feel stiff, and he couldn't dodge at all.
Boom~! With a terrifying bang, Zhang Liaofei squeezed out the crescent silver lion halberd, which pierced Fan Chou's heavy armor, and the location of the hit was his heart.
"Wow~~!!" Fan Chou's eyes widened, and he vomited blood, and seemed to turn all his strength into this roar, which hit the sky. Everyone around couldn't help but stop fighting and looked over.
"For the general, the horse leather shroud. Fan Chou, you can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Zhang Liao's face once again regained its cold color, and with a flick of the halberd, Fan Chou, who had already lost his breath, fell off the horse.
"General Fan~~!!" The surrounding Xiliang generals were all indignant when they saw Fan Chou being killed, and they shouted angrily. Zhang Liao's expression froze, and after a big battle with Fan Chou, he still had the strength to fight, and he met several crazy Xiliang soldiers and killed them together. At this time, most of Zhang Liao's men and horses had also been killed, and when they heard that Zhang Liao had killed Fan Chou, their morale exploded like a tide, and they rushed to fight for meritorious service. On the other side, Gao Lan, who was also in great power, led the troops who were killed from the back mountain, and also attacked. Seeing that the general situation had gone, Meng Ke hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army, and fled with the support of several Xiliang generals. The rest of the remnants of the Xiliang army also fled soon after. Zhang Liao and Gao Lan each led their troops to cover up and capture, capturing more than 1,000 prisoners. It wasn't until dusk that Huo Tai, who had not seen the enemy's reinforcements for a long time, heard that Fan Chou had been killed, and he knew the plan.
Three days later, in Changyuan City. Today's Changyuan City, has not been as good as before, everywhere is full of traffic, originally with Cao Cao to Ma Zongheng after buying the first batch of grain and grass, and after this half a month, the grain merchants around the country are raising prices one after another, many families in the East County area in order to prepare for the future troubled times, busy is to come to Changyuan to buy grain. Ma Zongheng gave Zhao Qiang some plans, and then handed over the power to Zhao Qiang, and the shrewd Zhao Qiang did not live up to Ma Zongheng's expectations and completed one after another well-paid transactions. And on this day, Qiao Mao also sent someone to directly find Ma Zongheng to make a huge deal, Qiao Mao will have nearly 120,000 tons of grain as soon as he comes, of course, Qiao Mao hopes that Ma Zongheng will look at the face of the upcoming marriage of the two families, and reduce the price a little.
Speaking of which, Qiao Xuan originally thought that Ma Zongheng had gathered so much grain, if no one was willing to take the lead, I was afraid that Ma Zongheng's wishful thinking would not work, and he would even be criticized by princes and wealthy families from all over the country. Therefore, Qiao Xuan, who values Ma Zongheng's unlimited potential, plans to take a big gamble and use nearly half of the Qiao family's money to buy Ma Zongheng's grain, after all, the Qiao family is a big family in Dongjun, and Qiao Mao is the Taishou of Dongjun, as long as the Qiao family makes a statement, people in other places dare not guarantee it, but the wealthy families in the East County area will definitely go one after another, in this way, as long as there is popularity, plus the current situation is becoming more and more tense, after all, as long as there is some vision, people can see that once Dong Zhuo and the princes of the world war breaks out, No matter what the final result is, the era of chasing the Central Plains will definitely come, and throughout the ages, every day the situation has come to this point, and the chaotic situation of continuous fire and war will last for at least two generations or even several generations!
Therefore, the storage of food becomes crucial. Generally speaking, as long as the grain is properly kept, there is no problem in keeping it for more than half a year or about a year. Some of them can be kept longer if they are made into dry food. In the midst of war, as long as there is enough food, there is no fear that soldiers and coolies will not be able to be recruited.
Because of this, even if the price of grain remains high now, as long as Ma Zongheng is willing, the grain and grass he has collected will soon be cleared. Of course, with the help of the bridge family, he can sell faster and at a better price!
Qiao Xuan thought that if Ma Zongheng received such a great favor from the Qiao family, with his temperament, he would take care of him in the future, so he didn't say anything. And Qiao Xuan also hopes that Ma Zongheng can use Dongjun as a basis to become a warlord in troubled times in the future, so that the Qiao family, which has gradually declined, has a barrier in troubled times, and he can rest assured.
It's just that Qiao Xuan didn't expect that Cao Cao was faster than him, and he also bought a lot of food. And Ma Zongheng is also smart, and he actually came up with a promotion method for later generations, and those who come to buy first can enjoy a certain preferential price, and the higher the price will be in the future. Moreover, the promotion period is only limited to two months, and once it is exceeded, the price in the market will be restored.
Once Ma Zongheng's promotional plan was launched, and now Cao Cao, who is now famous, took the lead, the natural response was excellent, if it weren't for Fan Chou's attack on Changyuan now, the wealthy families in other places were watching, I am afraid that Changyuan's grain will be cleared in no month!
As for the wealthy families in Dongjun, they were able to find out the news of the front-line battlefield first, when they learned that the white lion general Zhang Liao had easily defeated three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry not long ago, they knew that Fan Chou could not turn over the storm, after all, his most elite troops had been defeated, and the monster guarding in Changyuan had not yet made a move!
Of course, with Qiao Xuan's intelligence, he naturally saw that he regretted it, and even scolded Qiao Mao. It turned out that Qiao Mao always felt that Ma Zongheng sent Zhang Liao to fight, but he couldn't stop Fan Chou's army, and wanted to wait and see for a while. Qiao Xuan persuaded him several times, but Qiao Mao refused to listen, so he gave up.
So today, the bridge family's big purchase is not like a charcoal in the snow, or even the icing on the cake. After all, as long as Zhang Liao defeated Fan Chou's Xiliang army, the princes and wealthy families from all over the country would definitely flock to Changyuan to buy grain, and he would not be worried about not being able to sell it at all, and he could even raise the price again and exploit it ruthlessly.
And although the Xiaqiao family has purchased a huge amount, it is really a bit unpopular to ask Ma Zongheng to reduce the already preferential price.
"Huh. There is no urgency in this matter, Uncle Qiao will sit first. Ma Zongheng smiled brightly, and was smiling at a neatly dressed but gorgeous middle-aged man.
This person's name is Qiao Feng, who is Qiao Mao's nephew, and he is quite eloquent, and now the affairs of the Qiao family related to business are managed by him.
