Chapter 97: Go and deliver a courier to Zhao Ci
Liu Dan heard that Zhang Shi wanted to put forward conditions, so his face instantly turned bad.
"Brother, I'm still in a hurry to go to Jingzhou to take up my post! How can I have time here, everyone is very busy, can't you be happy? ”
When Zhang Shi heard this, he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood in anger.
Lao Tzu promised to give you 180,000 loads of grain and grass, but you didn't even bother to help?
"Virtuous brother, you have to have a conscience to be a man!"
"All that grain was planted by the people of Nanjun with hard work, can you bear to take it for nothing?"
"Even if you don't give face to your brother, you can't make the people feel cold!"
Liu Dan saw that Zhang Shi began to talk about the people, and for a while he didn't know how to reply.
Zhang Shi thought that Liu Dan was hesitant, so he hurriedly answered and continued.
"That's it, 180,000 are given to you, and the 20,000 are not missing!"
"You help my brother solve this matter, and I will gather 200,000 loads of food for you!"
After hearing this, Liu Dan suddenly showed a smile of relief.
"Since the elder brother is so sincere, if the foolish brother doesn't know how to lift up, it will be a little too much!"
"Brother, don't worry, your foolish brother must have enough face! Just say who to hit......"
Zhang Zhi saw that Liu Dan directly picked out the topic, and his face suddenly bloomed with joy.
"Since Brother Xian said so, then Brother is not welcome!"
As he spoke, Zhang Shi quietly took out a map from his arms.
The map is very simple, but if you look closely, you can see that it is a road map.
Liu Dan looked at it carefully for a while and found that the end of the line seemed to be in a group of mountains.
"This can't be a treasure map, right?"
Zhang Zhi knew that Liu Dan was deliberately joking, so he said with a smile.
"Brother Xian is really good at laughing, if it's a treasure map, can my brother still wait for you to help?"
"But it's not accurate to say that this picture has nothing to do with treasure......"
Liu Dan saw that the other party actually sold Guanzi, so he directly stuffed the drawings into Zhang Zhi's arms and said.
"Let's talk about giving 180,000 for nothing......"
After hearing this, Zhang Shi hurriedly stuffed the picture into Liu Dan's hand again.
"Look at your quick temper! Let me tell you the truth, this is where the anti-thief Zhao Ci's base camp is located! ”
Liu Dan finally became interested when he heard this, so he hurriedly leaned closer and asked with a smile.
"But that Zhao Ci who led the rebels from Jiangxia County, attacked Nanyang all the way to kill Taishou Qin Jie, and looted the treasures of the county treasury?"
Seeing Liu Dan say it in such detail, Zhang Shi couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
"How do you know this so clearly?"
Liu Dan just smiled slyly after hearing this, and did not make any answer.
An hour later, Liu Dan, Zhang Fei, and Dian Wei returned to the barracks with a convoy of 80,000 loads of grain and grass.
These grains and grass are just a deposit paid by Zhang Zhi, and the remaining 100,000 taels need to wait for Liu Dan to carry Zhao Ci's head in exchange.
After Liu Dan returned to the barracks, he was not verbose, and directly convened people for a brief meeting.
The topic of the meeting was one, how to lure out the rebels in the mountains.
Liu Dan thought very clearly, if they followed Zhang Zhi's road map into the mountain.
I'm afraid it's easy to get in, but it's even harder to figure it out!
Therefore, Liu Dan did not intend to follow Zhang Zhi's words, he was ready to lure Zhao Ci out of the mountains and annihilate him in one fell swoop.
However, Liu Dan obviously overestimated his subordinates.
Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, these six fierce generals were stunned and didn't think of a good way.
In the end, Diao Chan overheard this and helped Liu Dan come up with a way to lure the snake out of the hole.
Liu Dan ordered people to recruit strong men to work as coolies in the military camp in a nearby village.
On the surface, Liu Dan asked these coolies to fill hundreds of boxes of gold, grain and grass into the car.
In fact, only a small percentage of these chests contained gold.
However, the grain and grass are real, and they have just been sent by Zhang Zhi.
Liu Dan also deliberately ordered someone to knock over a few boxes so that these coolies could see the gold, silver and jewelry inside.
Three or five days later, Liu Dan simply distributed some rations and drove all the coolies away.
Among these coolies, some of them are actually Zhao Ci's eyeliner.
Therefore, soon the news reached Zhao Ci's ears.
Zhao Ci gathered the remnants of the yellow scarves in Jingbei and Nanyang under his command.
Subsequently, he relied on this force to successfully attack the county town of Nanyang.
After breaking the city, Zhao Ci obtained a lot of gold, silver, grain and grass, and his strength improved a lot at once.
Even the bandits and remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Jingzhou began to take the initiative to defect to him.
Zhao Ci's power is getting bigger and bigger, and it seems to have become the biggest bandit in Jingzhou and Nanyang.
So, when Zhao Ci heard that a team of officers and soldiers was going to escort gold, silver, grain and grass to Jingzhou, he rushed out of the mountains with people almost without thinking.
In order not to attract bandits to rob, Liu Dan only brought Zhang Fei, Dian Wei and 500 soldiers to escort the convoy.
They walked very slowly, for fear that Zhao Ci would not be able to catch up late when he got the news.
At the front of the convoy, Zhang Fei sighed and looked left and right, and said impatiently.
"Is this thief still coming? If we don't come again, we're going to enter the boundary of Jingzhou......"
After hearing this, Dian Wei nodded slowly with a numb expression and said.
"I've been suffocated to death for the past two days, and these robbers are really cowardly!"
"I feel ashamed of them, don't we claim to have 50,000 people?"
"We're only 500 people, so they don't dare to come?"
Liu Dan heard the nagging of the two people clearly, but he did not reprimand the two.
Because he has been really depressed for the past two days!
"This Zhao Ci is really ink! Lao Tzu sent things to him to the door, is it so difficult to get a "courier" out of the mountain? Forget it if he's lazy! ”
Liu Dan had just finished complaining, when suddenly a person stood at the corner of the road in front of him.
The man was unkempt and ragged, but he carried a well-made banner on his shoulders.
"Who's that guy up front?"
Liu Dan couldn't help but ask, and Zhang Fei and Dian Wei immediately came to their senses after hearing it.
Dian Wei's eyes were very good, so he immediately put his hands on the shed and looked forward.
At this time, the person carrying the flag also began to wave the flag in his hand vigorously.
After the banner was fully unfurled, everyone could see clearly a huge "Zhao" character embroidered with gold thread on it.
"Lord, there is a 'Zhao' written on that flag!"
Dian Wei turned his head excitedly and shouted at Liu Dan, Zhang Fei was so excited that he was already wiping his Zhangba snake spear.
"It's finally time to live!"
Liu Dan looked at the word Zhao on the banner in front of him, and suddenly remembered another person.
So, he said to Zhang Fei and Dian Wei with a smile.
"Pass the order, and no one is allowed to break the flag after the fight starts!"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei turned his head to look at Liu Dan with confusion.
"Big brother, why is this? We don't have a general surnamed Zhao here! ”
After hearing this, Liu Dan said with a confident smile.
"Just because we didn't have it before doesn't mean we won't have it in the future. I'm going to set this flag, and no one is allowed to mess with it. ”
Zhang Fei just agreed after hearing this, and in the next second, thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly rushed out from all directions.
Zhang Fei threw away the cloth that wiped the spear, looked around with excitement and shouted.
"So many people at once? Enjoyable! It's so enjoyable! Aha......"
