Chapter 30: Wild Encounter with Liu Guanzhang
The army did not disturb the county town of Liyang for too long, but began to leave the army the next day.
When the army disappeared under the horizon, the people of Liyang County slowly came out of the house, looking at the city that had just experienced the war, but it did not affect their own city, and their hearts were full of mixed feelings. As for whether they regretted resisting to the death, it is unknown. Only one thing they knew in their hearts was that this army was different from the other Yellow Turban Army......
"The Zhen Chamber of Commerce has already given a reply, and their people will wait for us thirty miles ahead, and when the time comes, they will act as a guide and point out a few paths for us that only the Zhen Chamber of Commerce knows, so as to ensure that we can avoid the Han army 100%. However, I hope that we will not engage the Han army along the way, so as not to expose our whereabouts, after all, it is not so easy for a 100,000-strong army to hide. "The shadow appeared beside Fang Yun, even if it was to hide in broad daylight, no one would be able to find it.
"Tell Steward Zhen, and say we know! However, let him organize a batch of grain and grass and trade with us in the near future, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that he can really not make any ......mistakes to the local autumn," Fang Yun thought about and returned.
"Whoa!" The shadow figure quickly disappeared, and this kind of thing was only safe for him to do it himself.
The Zhen family had benefited from Chenliu earlier, and even opened up a development idea, which was very important for the development of the Chamber of Commerce, so even Zhen Yi knew that he owed Fang Yun a big favor, so this time he completely risked being exterminated by the family, and photographed the most trusted clansmen as guides.
This clansman has been ordered to commit suicide as soon as something happens, and no one can link him with the Zhen Chamber of Commerce from now on. But no matter what, his existence was already very unfavorable to the Zhen Chamber of Commerce.
Although the army took a small path, Xi Zhicai still suggested sending scouts, the difference is that instead of sending scouts, they sent members of the Stinger or members of the dark department to find out the news, which is more suitable for them to exert their abilities at this time.
Fang Yun naturally agreed, but instead of sending a stinger, he sent a dark department. Without him, in his conception, the stinger was inside and the dark was outside, so as to avoid duplication of authority, and the most important thing was that Fang Yun didn't want to hand over the internal investigation to an existence that he couldn't completely believe.
The shadow had already gone out, and the dark part of the camp was temporarily taken over by the deputy, but what Fang Yun didn't know was that this deputy didn't approve of Fang Yun very much, he only felt that he had risen to the position by a series of opportunistic tricks, and even Bo Cai's death might have been deliberately arranged by him.
Because of this thought, he only sent two members of the dark department, and it was just a so-so patrol, after all, didn't the Zhen family's guide say? This road is just a remote path, it is not marked on the map, it is completely a private trade route opened up by the Zhen clan, and it would not have been used if it were not for the relationship between Fang Yun and the Chamber of Commerce.
Since no one knows, there is nothing to worry about.
But they don't know, how can the one who knows this trade route be the Zhen Chamber of Commerce?
Zhen Yi's wife, Zhang, is Zhongshan Zhang, and she is also from a merchant family, otherwise she could help Zhen Yi so much in business that she still ran the Chamber of Commerce in an orderly manner during the period when she became Cai Ling?
The Zhang family is not without a mother's family, and one of them has an elder brother named Zhang Shiping! The elder brother is an adult and is now in charge of the family's horse trade. Every year, the goods are transported outside the customs in exchange for a large number of horses to come back, but this year when I came back, I met a thief and did not want to be rescued by the three brave generals.
At that time, in order to repay these three generals, he and Su Shuang, who were traveling with him, gave him 500 war horses and thousands of catties of iron. In fact, this is not only a thank you gift, but also an investment, because the identity of the other party is very good!
Who? After King Jing of Hanzhong, the great-grandson of Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are also!
Whether it's flickering or being really optimistic, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang only feel that in this troubled world, Liu Bei and his three brothers are dragons among people, and all they lack is help. In addition, Liu Bei was born in Zhuo County, adjacent to Zhongshan Kingdom, and is considered half of his fellow townsmen, and he will not forget the kindness of the two of them today when he is developed in the future.
This can be said to be a long-term investment, just like Zhen Yi's investment Fang Yun, he may not think that he can benefit, but once he benefits, he can save decades of struggle, and this transaction can still be done. Besides, in this business, how can you make money every time, there are always a few times when you lose money.
Originally, the investment between the two sides ended like this, but Liu Bei's communication skills exploded, and the relationship with Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang became deeper and deeper. In the end, Zhang Shiping even told Liu Bei about his brother-in-law's family's unique business after a drunkenness.
Why do you do that, even the Yellow Turbans don't know about these trade routes, so they can go directly behind the enemy and make a surprise attack. Even many business routes can reduce the distance by three or four days, so it is impossible to reach the front line first to grab credit, right?
Liu Bei got the benefits, so he was naturally very thankful, and these trails did give him a lot of convenience along the way.
Originally, he planned to go south like this to support his teacher Lu Zhi. It is rumored that the master has confronted Zhang Jiao's troops in the Guangzong area, and he can just go over to fight and earn some meritorious deeds, and he will definitely be able to soar in the future!
Who knew that with the appearance of Fang Yun, history seemed to have changed, not long after they arrived in Guangzong, it was reported that the teacher had been arrested by His Majesty's order to take back Luoyang because he did not accept Zuo Feng's bribe. However, Huangfu Song, who took over the command in Guangzong, told him that Lu Zhi's situation was quite special, and His Majesty categorically could not blame him, and it would be possible to use it in a few years.
Because of this, it is rare to have come here, Liu Bei naturally can't help but visit his master, so he continued to go south, and unconsciously came to the Neihuang area, taking the path of the Zhen Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, they came all the way to this kind of path, and after verification again and again, it has been proved that no enemy army will find here. To put it bluntly, there are only about 1,000 people in their volunteer army, and Liu Bei can only be regarded as a reinforced.
When facing Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Maojun in Zhuojun before, although Cheng Zhiyuan and Deng Mao were killed by the force of the two brothers, they also reduced the number of troops a lot, and later absorbed a small number of Yellow Turban thieves, which returned to 1,000 people, but the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
This Jizhou is the nest of the Yellow Turban Thief, who knows if there are any fish that have slipped through the net in Julu County? For the sake of insurance, it is safer to take the small road, and as for these soldiers, it is better to stay behind the army to pick up the cheap.
But I didn't want to, the two sides walked towards each other slowly like this.
Coupled with the laziness of the scouts, the interesting thing is that the two sides suddenly found a large army on the horizon, and when they got closer, it was actually an enemy army!
"TMD, have the scouts gone to eat S?" Fang Yun roared indignantly. The enemy has appeared in front of him, and the scouts have not even reported the enemy situation to themselves, what a dereliction of duty! (To be continued.) )
