Datong!

Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, was in a daze with the imperial court's newspaper.

The things over there in Laizhou are really running like the heavenly machine leaked by Guanyin Bodhisattva. Kong Youde was really beaten away by the imperial court, and Kong Youde was really planning to surrender to Jiannu.

Sun Chuanting, who came from Daizhou to talk about side affairs, was sitting in front of him with a strange expression on his face. After he got the news of Kong Youde, he came to see Zhang Zongheng.

Sun Chuanting: "Your Excellency the Governor, look at this...... The heavenly opportunity leaked by Guanyin Bodhisattva is indeed correct. ”

Zhang Zongheng nodded with a heavy face: "Now, there is no need to doubt whether what Guanyin Bodhisattva said is really a heavenly opportunity. In other words, the fact that the eight Jin merchants he pointed out as traitors should be correct. ”

Sun Chuanting: "What is the Governor going to do?" ”

Zhang Zongheng snorted: "Send someone to keep an eye on them, seize the evidence of their deal with the Beiyu, as long as you come once and get the stolen goods, I can behead them all." ”

Sun Chuanting nodded: "That's very good." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a general came in from outside and quickly reported: "Report! Zhang Fugui, a Jin merchant who was scheduled to send us fifty stones of grain and ten stones of salt three days ago, failed to arrive on time. The last general sent someone to look for it, but only Zhang Fugui's body was found, and he ...... He and his caravan were all given ...... by the rogues."

Sun Chuanting: "! ”

Zhang Zongheng was angry: "What? ”

After being angry, Zhang Zongheng sighed lightly again: "It's not good." Liukou is making noise everywhere in the northwest of Shanxi and can be seen everywhere. The small Jin merchants no longer have the strength to deliver the materials to our border army, and the big Jin merchants ...... Those powerful big Jin businessmen, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang. It's all traitors, how can this be good? ”

When Sun Chuanting heard this, he was also shocked.

The small Jin merchants who did not sell the country did not have the strength to send supplies to the border army, but the powerful Jin merchants betrayed the country. If you attack the Great Jin Merchants at this time, won't the border army have all the supplies?

How to break this game?

Zhang Zongheng clenched his fists, and didn't know what to do for a while-

Iron Bird Fei and his party went out of Pingyang Mansion and then to the north.

Sure enough, things were immediately different along the road.

There are no longer merchants coming and going from the south to the north on the road, but a bleak picture.

Bones can be seen on the side of the road at any time.

Occasionally, I passed through a village, but found that most of the houses in the village had been burned down, and the few that were not burned were also crooked, and the marks of knives could be seen on the walls.

In the past year or so, the Liukou has been making trouble in the vast area north of Pingyang Mansion, until the imperial court sent Zhang Zongheng and Xu Dingchen to lead a large army to surround it, and finally suppressed the arrogance of the Liukou a little.

The main rogues such as the Zijin Liang King for his own use, the King of Chuang, the General Chuang, the Eight Kings of Xiying, and Lao Huihui have now been forced into Taihang Mountain.

Now there are only some small rogues with a slightly smaller force left in the northwest of Shanxi. For example: Cao Cao!

Cao Cao, whose real name is Luo Rucai, is a native of Yan'an, Shaanxi.

He dared to take his nickname Cao Cao, because he was quite confident in his own resourcefulness and felt that he was as cunning and resourceful as Cao Cao.

Recently, he has done a very clever thing, that is, to rob Jin merchants.

The northwest of Jin has been troubled by various rogues for a long time, except for a few cities such as Jiancheng Taiyuan and Daizhou, most of the cities have been broken by various rogues. The common people inside are dying, the coerced are coerced, and the productive forces have been destroyed.

Therefore, to rob the common people again, in fact, there is nothing to do.

So Cao Cao set his sights on Jin Shang!

The Jin merchants were specially responsible for sending supplies to the border army, and every time they appeared, they would carry a large amount of food, weapons, and cloth......

The wealth that can be made by grabbing one vote is much more comfortable than robbing those poor people.

At this time, Cao Cao was leading his army to entrench in a small village near the county seat of Lingshi.

A winding official road passes through the village, and Cao Cao has just ambushed a caravan of small Jin merchants in this village, grabbing a large amount of food and weapons.

Just as he was counting the loot, one of his subordinates ran over: "Boss, another caravan is coming." ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed: "Yo, the fat sheep is here again?" ”

The subordinate had a strange expression: "This fat sheep seems to be a little too fat." ”

Cao Cao: "??? ”

The subordinate said: "It is a large convoy, with a lot of food, salt, cloth, etc., all kinds of materials, fifty carts piled up, and there are three hundred cavalry escorts. ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, he had a pair of very thin eyes, the kind that was almost invisible when he squinted: "Yo, it's a very powerful Great Jin Merchant." ”

The subordinate said: "Yes! ”

Cao Cao sneered: "However, this strength can only bluff the weak rebels, for us, his guard is not enough." The order went down, and he was ready to work. ”

Although Cao Cao has not been mixed into a large group of robbers over the years, he is also a medium-to-upper strength among the group of robbers, with more than 5,000 people under his command, excluding the old and weak women and children, and more than 2,000 young and strong people who can fight.

More than 2,000 young and middle-aged people immediately took action, first ambushing hundreds of people in the village, hiding in various dilapidated houses, and then ambushing people everywhere in the ditches, woods, and small hillsides on the outskirts of the village.

All of a sudden, the nameless village fell silent.

Iron Bird Fei and his entourage, from south to north, walked over slowly.

More than 50 large cars were dragged out on the official road, long, like a long dragon.

"Look, there's a village ahead." Zheng Daniu grinned: "I don't know if there are any special delicacies here." ”

Soapwarbler: "No, there is no one in this village." ”

"Huh?" Zheng Daniu flattened his mouth sadly: "In the northwest of Jin, I can't see a person for dozens of miles, and the people here are so pitiful." ”

However, at this time.

Soap Ying's words suddenly changed: "You will be able to see people soon." ”

Zheng Daniu: "Huh? Babble? Hey? ”

The soapwarbler continued to ride slowly, as if she hadn't noticed anything unusual, but she whispered in her mouth: "There are ambushes in the village, and there are them in every house. Outside the village, behind the ditches, woods, and hillsides...... There are ambushes everywhere, and the other party is not an ordinary rogue, but a cunning person who knows a little resourcefulness and formation. ”

Zheng Daniu: "Wow? How did you find out? ”

Soap Ying grinned: "Don't underestimate the horse thief!" Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and when it comes to the ability to hide and rob business travelers, our horse thieves are experts. ”

Iron Bird Flying: "How do you fight?" ”

Soap Ying whispered: "First of all, we have to gather the convoy together without alarming the other party." ”
