Murong Cheng and the three of them saw that the one who came in with the housekeeper was a young man in a white samurai uniform. Tall, handsome. When people look at it, they can't help but agree, what a young man.

After the young man entered the lobby, he clasped his fists at Murong Cheng and saluted the main seat: "Deputy General Qianniuwei, Zhao Mang has seen His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

Murong Cheng said with a smile: "No need to be polite, look at it!" Come on, serve tea! ”

Zhao Mang was also unambiguous and sat directly on the left side.

"I don't know if General Zhao came to see this king, what advice did he have?" Murong Cheng said directly. Because the situation in front of him was not good for him, he didn't bother to take a detour.

Zhao Mang said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that on the order of my general, I came to talk to His Highness about the commercial tax issues in Jingzhou and Yangzhou." ”

"Business tax?" Murong Cheng couldn't help frowning. It's okay to talk about business taxes, but you're a military general, so why did you come here to talk about it.

Zhang Tu opened his mouth and said: "We are happy to negotiate with Youzhou on the issue of commercial taxes, but the left minister is the head of the hundred officials, and the state officials collect taxes under the instructions of the left minister." However, General Zhao can rest assured that the tax rate will definitely be restored to its original level. ”

In a word, he wanted to push all the people down on Situ Lei, Zhao Mang sneered secretly, and said: "It's okay, if Jingzhou and Yangzhou can't do business normally, then we can only let the merchants do business in Xuzhou." ”

Murong Cheng's face turned pale and said, "General Zhao, do you know what you're talking about?" Xuzhou is a place for rebels, how dare you trade with it? ”

Zhao Mang smiled disapprenously: "Lord Wang, a businessman is a businessman, the Xiaoguo Army is a Xiaoguo army, the businessman wants to live, can I still let them starve to death!" In the same words, separate yourself from the businessman.

When Xuzhou was the land of the rebels, it was the subordinates of the king of Qi who surrounded and suppressed the rebels. You must know that many of the things traded in Youzhou can be used by the army. In other words, if the goods of Youzhou merchants really bought Xuzhou in large quantities, it would definitely not be a good thing for King Qi.

Seeing this, Zhang Tu said with a smile: "General Zhao rest assured, we will definitely restore the commercial taxes in Jingzhou and Yangzhou to normal, and also ensure the safety of the commercial routes, and there will be no situation in Hanoi and Dongzhou Mansions, by the way, I have heard that the troops of Hanoi Province are secretly moving again, and I don't know what they want to do." ”

First of all, when it comes to safety, it is to tell Sù Zhao Mang that they will not let Situ Lei's robbery of caravans occur in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and in addition, they also tell him that Situ Lei has launched a new operation in Hanoi. And the convoy that Zhao Xun returned was also in Hanoi at the moment.

Zhao Mang listened, smiled faintly, and said, "Since this is the case, then we will wait for you to adjust the commercial tax." By the way, it is said that the Shenwu Army and the Changwu Army have now begun to train their armies again, and there are more than 130,000 soldiers in the two armies. ”

Murong Cheng's face stiffened when he heard this. Zhang Tu and Zhong Yan, who had been looking at Zhao Mang's face, also frowned slightly.

"Now that the matter has been said, there is not much left in the next place, presumably, the prince also has a lot of things to deal with. Leave! After Zhao Mang hugged his fists and saluted, he left directly.

Looking at the back in the distance, Murong Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you two think?" ”

Zhang Tu and Zhong Yan glanced at each other and said, "Lord Wang, the situation in Hanoi Mansion, Zhao Xun has already prepared!" However, it is important now that we need to reply to the issue of commercial taxes in the two states, as well as to keep Qianniuwei in Luoyang. ”

Zhong Yan also nodded, echoing Zhang Tu's opinion.

"Help them?" Murong Cheng frowned and said.

"Yes, if they lose, the war horses, leather, medicinal herbs and other things we need from Youzhou will enter Xuzhou, which is too unfavorable for us. Now the Xuzhou rebels and we are in a stalemate, and we are also trying to persuade them. But once they are replenished, then we ......," Zhong Yan said with a wry smile.

Murong Cheng's army besieged the rebels in Xuzhou, initially in an advantageous position, and then in a stalemate. Murong Cheng has always wanted to incorporate the Xuzhou Army and let the Xuzhou Army surrender to him. And the Xuzhou army also seems to have some sense of response, and the two sides are at peace for the time being. If there is a change in Youzhou, then all your plans will be in vain.

In the end, Situ Lei took the biggest advantage, and he didn't get anything, of course, Zhao Xun also suffered a loss, and was busy solving his internal problems. However, the internal problems of this Xiaoguo army still have their own promoters.

"Let the Xiao cavalry army also dispatch, we are in the south, Qianniuwei is in the east, and the Jin Wu army is in the west, and they will not be harassed. If Jin Wujun doesn't follow the rules, let Xiao Caijun also teach him! Murong Cheng gritted his teeth and said. After playing for a long time, he became Zhao Xun's guard.

Entering Xingyang Mansion and passing the Tiger Prison Pass, Han Meng, who was relieved, quickly entered Hanoi Mansion again. Although he knew what his task was, Han Meng, who had never been used to thinking, couldn't help but feel that his head was big. Bait is not so easy to be.

According to the plan, Han Meng slowed down in Hanoi Province so that Zhao Xun could escape from Yongzhou. Han Meng really didn't know how to delay time in a bright way, in short, every time he arrived in a city, he would charter a restaurant, rest for a day or two, buy some miscellaneous things, and then continue to move forward, of course, "Zhao Xun" also showed his face slightly, and after the people in the distance saw it, they thought that Zhao Xun was still in the convoy.

Yangwu City, Han Meng's pause today.

"Captain, the Shadow Division has summoned the Lord to Jizhou, and we should leave too!"

Han Meng looked at the young man dressed as Zhao Xun in front of him, and said, "Sixth son, put down your outfit, after leaving the city for a while, you will go with the guards and soldiers, and ...... when necessary."

The sixth son, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, said with a smile: "There is no one in the carriage, how can you be allowed to disperse safely, or go as planned." However, a team of brothers with mortal hearts is needed. ”

Han Meng opened his mouth and said astringently: "It's okay, fifty brothers who have nothing to worry about are not a problem, and the brothers will remember you." ”

Then a thousand men galloped towards the north gate.

"Are you sure Zhao Xun is in this convoy?" In a place near the city gate, a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant frowned and said.

In front of the middle-aged man, one of them said cautiously: "My subordinates are sure that our people have seen Zhao Xun appear with their own eyes." ”

"No, since you left Luoyang, you shouldn't ...... so slowly," the middle-aged man frowned and muttered to himself.

"According to my subordinates, the reason why they are moving slowly seems to be because they have female dependents and are pregnant......," another explained.

This explanation makes sense...... But how do I feel that something is wrong! ”

"My lord, they're gone, hurry away!" A person came in from outside the door and said urgently.

"If we continue to rule, let the people who are in ambush move, and after this, we will have no chance." The middle-aged man put away the speculation in his heart and ordered in a loud voice.

"Let's go, let's go in person, we want to see with our own eyes whether Zhao Xun is there!" The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Han Meng and others were attacked, thirty miles north of Yangwu, and no less than 2,000 people were ambushed. More than 2,000 people, each of whom is a good player, does not make the slightest shout between actions. At the beginning, the pro-guard battalion lost more than 100 people. Han Meng immediately ordered all of them to turn back and go back to Yangwu City. As long as they arrived in Yangwu City, no matter how bold these people were, they would not dare to act openly.

After turning back and running five miles, the cavalry in front encountered a stumbling rope and a horse pit, and even Han Meng himself was tripped by the tripping horse rope and turned over and fell off his horse.

Immediately, Han Meng asked a sentry guard to escort the carriage first, and he covered with the rest of the soldiers to fight with the black-clothed man who intercepted and killed. Although he had been prepared, the strength of the man in black still surprised Han Meng. These people, if they are in battle, must be far stronger than the other side. But most of the people on the other side are good at assassination. What's more, they can avoid their own slashing horizontal swords, but use the long sword in their hands to die with the other party. For such an enemy, Rao is strong Han Meng couldn't help but take a big breath.

The man in black has more than the guards of the guard, even if the guards have crossbow arrows in their hands, they cannot resist the suicide attacks of the opponent who exchange their lives for their lives.

A sentry guarded the carriage, and after being intercepted three times in a row, only fifty men remained with the carriage. But the carriage was also intercepted.

"Zhao Xun! Champion General...... Today is your time of death! Kill me, brethren! After completing the task, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! The middle-aged man pounced with two hundred people.

There was a fight around the carriage, but there was still no movement in the carriage.

"Didn't you say Zhao Xun was here?" The middle-aged man looked at the carriage that was not moving, and asked in a cold voice.

"My lord, according to the people below, Zhao Xun is indeed in the car...... The subordinates don't know why there is no movement! ”

"Let's go, I'll take a look! If not, you know the result yourself......" The middle-aged man glanced coldly at the man beside him and said sharply.

More than a dozen people rushed straight to the carriage, and everywhere they went, the soldiers of the personal guard battalion wanted to come forward to intercept them, but they were all blocked by the men in black.

Standing in front of the carriage, the middle-aged man sneered: "Zhao Xun, the dignified champion general, shouldn't it be a turtle with a shrunken head!" ”

For a long time, no one answered.

"Wu Shan, pick up the curtain!" The middle-aged man became more and more uneasy, and said angrily.

Wu Shan carefully picked up the curtain with his long sword, but saw a young man looking at him with mockery.

"You are not Zhao Xun......" Wu Shan's face stiffened, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The young man glanced at the more than ten people around him coldly, and sneered at the middle-aged man: "Just by you, you are also worthy of talking to my general?" ”

The middle-aged man's eyes were red, and a sword pierced the young man's shoulder, stepped on his chest, and said sharply, "Where is Zhao Xun?" ”

"Haha...... I want to know, the next life! ”

"What smell...... The middle-aged man was about to continue asking, when he suddenly asked a pungent smell.

"Not good...... Quick, withdraw ......"

Before the middle-aged man's words fell, a roar resounded through the four fields.

The black-clothed people who led the team saw with their own eyes that with a roar, a small black mushroom cloud floated in the sky. At the same time, the carriage and the surrounding distance of forty or fifty zhang instantly turned into powder as if it had been struck by an invisible sledgehammer.

"Thunder ......"

The black-clothed man who rushed to intercept and kill Zhao Xun said in a daze, a shock wave, and they who were two or three hundred zhang away felt the wind blowing like a knife.

"Kill! Avenge the General! The guards of the battalion suddenly roared in unison, fighting frantically!

"Zhao Xun is dead?" The Men in Black Commander said silently.

"I think so......" one muttered quietly.

"My lord, let's withdraw, there should be people around with such a loud noise."

"Withdraw!"

Just as Han Meng was about to let his subordinates scatter and retreat, the man in black disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Han Meng looked around, took a deep breath and said, "We will also retreat and rush back to Youzhou immediately." We will not forget this hatred! ”

"But the corpses of these brethren ......," said a sentry, pointing to his own corpses on the ground.

"Take away the identification plates of the brothers, here...... This is handed over to the county order of Yangwucheng. Leave what can mark our identity......" Han Meng said through gritted teeth.

The sound of earth-shattering came out, and not far away, there was a big town. Immediately he sent people out to check, and then he saw corpses all over the ground. Immediately, the town's elders didn't dare to make their own decisions, and hurriedly sent an order to Yangwu City.

Yangwu City also hurriedly sent people to investigate, and then discovered something that frightened them, the champion general's convoy was attacked by the men in black, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. In addition, a broken decree was found.

At this time, the county commander of Yangwu City and the military captain of the government did not dare to delay, and hurriedly asked people to carefully collect the corpses of the two parties and return to the city. At the same time, several letters were sent out in succession, heading to Luoyang in the southwest and to the north respectively. Then there were people who were optimistic about the scene and the corpses of both sides.

When the messenger was sent out from Yangwu City, dozens of carrier pigeons also flew up from Yangwu City and headed in all directions.

Yangwucheng County Ling and Du Wei kept scolding their mothers, but at this moment, they could only honestly wait for news from all sides.

Soon after, the news of the death of the champion general Zhao Xun was reported in Yangwu City.

"Who got this out! Bastard! Yangwucheng County ordered Xie Qing to be in the county office, and shouted angrily.

Who got it out? Who knows? Even if you know, can he manage it with a small county order?

I can guess with my ass that this must have something to do with some adults. What makes Yangwucheng County Ling scold his mother is, where are you not good at assassination, why do you have to be on my territory. And Zhao Xun, I said let the government army escort it, you said no. Right now......
