The military attache snorted, and did not answer Liu Ze, but the city gate commander said in a snort: "This is the county lieutenant Zhang Miao of this county." ”

Zhang Miao, isn't it Chen Liu's Taishou when the Eighteenth Road Candidates rebelled against Dong later, I can't imagine that he has actually become the county lieutenant of Chenliu County now, it seems that today's matter is a bit troublesome.

At the moment, he said with a smile: "A few blades, that is a thing to protect the caravan, the world is not peaceful now, and the subordinates bring a few weapons just for self-defense, let alone the plot, Captain Zhang is serious." It's just a small courtesy, not a tribute, and I hope that Zhang County Lieutenant will smile and accept it, and it will be convenient. ”

Liu Ze ordered someone to offer a hundred taels of gold, and he screamed a pain in his heart, usually it only costs a few taels of gold to pass the test, hey, who let us hit a plague god, think you are unlucky.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Miao sneered: "Bold, you dare to openly bribe this official, you are obviously a thief, come and take down this profiteer!" ”

Immediately, two soldiers pounced on Liu Ze to capture him, and Zhang Fei stepped forward and punched like lightning, knocking the two soldiers to the ground. Zhang Miao was furious, pulled his sword in his hand, and shouted: "It's the other way around, take it all down for me!" ”

Liu Ze took a step forward and said, "County Lieutenant Zhang, it's a pure misunderstanding, I am indeed a law-abiding businessman, and I have no other intentions. ”

Zhang Miao smiled gloomily, waved his hand, and the soldiers under his command withdrew from the zhangwai and said, "Seeing that Your Excellency is also a smart person, how about this official give you a way to live?" ”

Liu Ze seemed to understand something from his gloomy gaze, and said, "County Lieutenant Zhang, what do you mean......"

Zhang Miaoyin said with a smile: "If the horse stays, the person can go." ”

Liu Ze suddenly realized that Zhang Miao was fighting the idea of sweating and blood, it seems that this kid is really not ordinary black. Liu Ze said in embarrassment: "County Lieutenant Zhang, the whole net worth of this batch of horses trafficked back from Liangzhou is in Xia, if they are all left behind, it will be useless." ”

Zhang Miao said viciously: "Losing money is worse than a life, which is more important, you weigh it yourself, this official doesn't have the patience to wait for you." ”

It seems that Zhang Miao is bent on swallowing this batch of sweat and blood horses, Liu Ze is thinking in his heart, a thousand sweat and blood horses are his own efforts in the Western Regions for a year, even if he gives him a Liu Ze is reluctant, it seems that it is not possible to move hard.

Liu Ze looked at it, Zhang Miao only brought more than 100 soldiers when he patrolled the city, and Zhang Miao himself was also very sparse in martial arts, as soon as his two swords came out, the possibility of directly killing him in seconds was at least 99%, and joining forces with Zhang Fei, plus dozens of guards, it would not be much of a problem to solve the hundred and ten ordinary soldiers.

The key question is how to escape after killing Zhang Miao, it seems that the only way to do this is to abandon the vehicle and baggage, and all of them will be transferred to the sweaty horses. But what about after escaping?

A trace of anger flashed in Liu Ze's eyes, the consequences are really immeasurable, but now there is no way to control so much, who wants to fight the idea of sweating and blood, that is, looking for death! Liu Ze set his eyes on Zhang Fei and nodded slightly, Zhang Fei already understood, Liu Ze pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, either he didn't make a move, or he would hit with one blow.

Looking at Zhang Miao's smug and rampant expression, Liu Ze felt a trace of contempt in his heart, go to the mother's eighteenth road candidates, have the courage to offend me, today next year is your sacrifice day!

Suddenly, there was a hearty laugh behind him, and someone said in a loud voice: "County Lieutenant Zhang, what a great majesty, it's a pity that you can't move these horses." ”

Liu Ze and Zhang Miao couldn't help but look back, but when they saw a person dressed as a scribe floating in, smiling, of course Liu Ze knew that this was Jia Xu sitting in the car, Zhang Miao was stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?" ”

"Engaged in Fan Hua in Xia Qingzhou Gongcao." Jia Xu stood with his head held high, but he really had a bit of official authority.

Zhang Miao glanced at Jia Xu a few times, and seemed to be a little suspicious, Qingzhou was a state official, and his rank was above him, but it was a little illogical to appear here at this moment.

Jia Xu laughed and said, "County Lieutenant Zhang seems to have some doubts about his identity, hehe-"

Zhang Miao smiled awkwardly: "Don't dare, don't dare, but why did Fan Zhi appear here?" ”

"It's not a secret, I went to Xiliang to buy back this batch of war horses on the order of Huang Wanhuang Envoy Jun of Qingzhou Thorn History, and they were escorted by the horse merchant Liu Treasurer, so County Lieutenant Zhang doesn't have to fight the idea of this batch of horses, otherwise Huang Envoy Jun may be difficult to deal with."

Zhang Miao looked at the thousand horses greedily, and seemed to be unwilling, after all, it was just Jia Xu's empty words, and it was a bit difficult for him to give up such a big benefit.

Jia Xu sneered, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao looked at it a few times, and cold sweat flowed down, there were only a few simple sentences on the letter, which was nothing more than Qingzhou Gongcao engaged in the purchase of horses in Liangzhou before Fan Hua, and the seal of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Huang Wan was stamped below.

Zhang Miao said embarrassedly: "Misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding, Fan Cheng, the lower officials have offended, please bear with me, please ask Fan to enter the city and prepare a little wine for the lower officials to accompany the crime." ”

Jia Xu waved his hand lightly and said, "No need, County Lieutenant Zhang is also handling the case impartially, what's wrong?" As for the banquet and the like, it will be exempted, if there is a delay on the road, Huang Yuanjun may also blame. ”

Zhang Miao bowed and said: "That's that, since the official business is urgent, the lower official will send Fan to engage, and Huang Thorn Shi will ask Fan to do a lot of good words." ”

Jia Xu just nodded slightly, and ordered Liu Ze to set off immediately, and the caravan was already clean in a short time, leaving only Zhang Miao and his group standing there stupidly.

After leaving the city, Liu Ze laughed. "I can't imagine that Wen He still has this hand."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, and said: "The official level crushes people to death, how can he, Zhang Miao, a small Chenliu county lieutenant, dare to offend Qingzhou Thorn Shi Huang Wan." ”

"What's the matter with that letter? And is there really someone in Qingzhou who is engaged in Fan Hua? Liu Ze was very curious.

Jia Xu showed a sly smile and said: "Fan Hua is my fellow villager, and now Qingzhou is Ren Gongcao in a position, Chenliu County is under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, Yanqing and Qingdao are close to each other, Zhang Miao must have heard of Fan Hua's name, otherwise it will be difficult to get through the test." As for the letter, it is even simpler, just write a few lines and stamp a seal, the seals of the history of the state are similar, but the name is different. ”

Liu Ze took his letter and read it, it was hard to distinguish between true and false, it seemed that Jia Xu was really a ghost, and he still had such a talent for counterfeiting, he must be regarded as the originator of those who made false testimony in later generations. "Wen He is not afraid that Zhang Miao really knows Fan Hua?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly and said: "The possibility of goofs is not impossible, but it is very small, after all, he is an official in a foreign state, and Fan Hua is a civilian, and it is impossible to deal with Zhang Miao's little county lieutenant, but even if they know each other, it doesn't matter, anyway, the lord is also murderous, isn't it?" ”

Liu Ze laughed, this Jia Xu's gaze was really poisonous, and he could see through his mind at a glance. "This Zhang Miao is good for him, and he met Wenhe, otherwise even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, the idea of fighting sweat and blood is a dead end."

Jia Xu smiled slightly: "It's easy to kill a Zhang Miao, but the lord can be edited by the court from now on, and he can only die in the rivers and lakes." ”

Liu Ze nodded and said: "Killing people is the next policy, you can't use it until you have to, if you really want to kill Zhang Miao, it seems that you can only go to Mangdang Mountain to occupy the king as the king, hey, Luoyang and the states and counties still have a lot of industry in me, it's enough to have a headache to think about." It was Wen He, who pretended to be an official and pretended to be subtle, and Zhang Miao's eyes were poisonous, and he was also deceived by Wen He. ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "The road is familiar." ”

Liu Ze suddenly thought that when Jia Xu resigned and returned to his hometown, he had pretended to be Duan Xuan's grandson to deceive the people, and it was really practice makes perfect. Liu Ze laughed, and suddenly remembered where a joint was.

"It was only a quarter and a half before Zhang Miao stopped the car, how could Wen He forge Huang Wan's letter in such a short time?"

Jia Xu swallowed slowly: "This letter was not forged just now, does the lord think it is really that easy to engrave a seal that is fake and genuine?" This is a subordinate before leaving Phoenix Mountain to spend a night to get it, originally only for emergency use, precaution, I didn't expect to use it just after arriving in Chenliu, it seems that Zhang Miao can only be blamed for being too greedy, a hundred taels of gold can't send him away. ”

Liu Ze sighed and said, "Wenhe is really the number one ghost talent in the world, he is scheming, I might as well be it." ”

Jia Xu laughed and said, "The lord praised it falsely. ”

Without saying anything all the way, Liu Ze soon arrived at Shuangpingji, which was only twenty or thirty miles away from Mangdang Mountain. Shuangpingji is just a small town, there are not many households, and naturally there are no officers and soldiers stationed here. In order not to disturb the people, Liu Ze ordered the caravan to camp in a clearing south of Shuangpingji and wait for the arrival of other teams.

The next day, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and other five teams arrived one after another, they were very smooth along the way, almost no situation, every checkpoint, a few taels of gold will be unimpeded all the way, think about it, each team is just dozens of carts full of grain, armor and weapons are hidden in the mezzanine of the vehicle, the appearance looks just ordinary can no longer be ordinary grain caravans, can not attract Zhang Miao and others coveted at all.

Liu Ze ordered all the personnel to change their clothes, and in less than half an hour, a team of 500 cavalry and 2,500 infantry appeared on this plain in bright armor, ready to go. Liu Ze immediately summoned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jia Xu, Zhao Yun and others to discuss the military situation in the big tent. Liu Ze's face was solemn, and he said: "Our army has been running for a long time, and there is a shortage of supplies, so we intend to fight a quick battle, do you have a plan?" ”

Zhang Fei snorted and said proudly: "Forgive him a few bandits, how capable he is, big brother, I will take a thousand men and horses, and I will capture Mangdang Mountain for you tomorrow." ”

"Mangdang Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if Liao Hua sticks to Mangdang Mountain, if our army wants to attack, the casualties will be very large, this time we can only outwit, not attack." Liu Ze had other plans in his heart and disagreed with Zhang Fei's plan.

Zhao Yun stood up and said, "Why don't you follow the example of the surprise attack on Wohu Mountain, feint on the front mountain, and send warriors around the back mountain to attack it." ”

Liu Ze shook his head and said: "The former took Wohu Mountain, using the blind spot on the defense of Wohu Mountain, and climbed up from the cliff of the back mountain, and according to the intelligence, all the dangers of Mangdang Mountain are guarded by soldiers, none of them are exposed, and there are no blind spots in the defense, if you want to surprise attack, it is very difficult." ”

Liu Ze looked back at Jia Xu, and it seemed that he still had to be supported by a strategist.
