Zhang Liao looked over and saw that the defeated soldiers of the enemy in front of him were sneaking in the forest, Zhang Liao said: "Although I have found the enemy, there is a mountain forest ahead, and I am afraid that there will be an ambush if I rush in." Cheng Sifang was stunned: "Then what should I do?" Although Cheng Sifang escaped death, he also delayed for too long, and just wanted to be able to leave this mountain road that almost cost him his life as soon as possible.

Zhang Liao smiled and glanced at the deputy general, who commanded the sergeant to collect firewood and light the fire, the weather was dry, and it was a high mountain, as soon as the wind blew, the fire immediately spread, how could that mountain forest withstand the flames burning so fiercely? In an instant, the entire forest became a sea of fire, and I only heard the exclamations from the forest: "Fire! Fire!" "Zhang Liao set the fire!" Then the screams came out.

Through the raging flames, Cheng Quartet faintly saw the defeated soldiers hiding in the enemy and the defeated soldiers burned themselves, some rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, and some ran around without their lives, it seemed that the fire would be smaller when they ran, but in the end they were all buried under the flames. Cheng Sifang's heart trembled, this was the first time he had seen with his own eyes how cruel war was, and this was only a small-scale war, if it was a large-scale war, what should these people do? Will it be even more miserable?

Although the other party almost took his own life, but from another point of view, others are just asking for a bite to eat, Zhang Liao said that he would kill and kill, and if he said that he would set fire, he would set fire, could war really destroy humanity in this way? Cheng Quartet closed his eyes.

This mountain forest is not very big, the wind came, and it could be heard that the fire was gradually weakening, but Zhang Liao shouted: "Kill!" In an instant, the sound of killing resounded through the valley, and Zhang Liao led the army to cover it. The other party had nowhere to hide, and the burned mountains and forests proved that there were no ambushes, so Zhang Liao was relieved to boldly carry out a pursuit and annihilation battle.

Cheng Sifang sighed: "Is this war?" Xiao Zhihan said: "You know, wars are far more cruel than you imagined, on the battlefield, there is no truth, only winning or losing, and the winner is the truth." "Everyone has seen the war many times, but every time they see it, they can't help but sigh in their hearts, this may be the reason why many green forest heroes would rather fall into the grass than be officials, right?

After the first battle, Zhang Liao's army won a complete victory, and Qiu Ba escaped from the mountain from the trail under the cover of his soldiers. Zhang Liao came back to the horse, saluted Cheng Sifang, and said, "Boss Cheng, the thieves have been eliminated, and you can pass with confidence." "Although he has escaped from Qiu Ba, Qiu Ba no longer has the ability to occupy the mountain as the king.

Cheng Sifang nodded, and replied: "Thank you, General Zhang......" hesitated for a while, and then said: "Then let's leave first, and then thank General Zhang." Zhang Liao smiled: "Boss Cheng is polite, please." ”

So Cheng Sifang and others traveled all the way, got down the mountain road, and went straight to Pingxian along the plain, and Shen Futing's food guide was indispensable along the way.

When I arrived in Pingxian, it was already evening, but it was very fast. Cheng Quartet left the top ten masters to settle the carriage and horses, and he and Xiao Zhihan went straight to the pen field, and rushed into the pen field like a Quartet, found the boss, and greeted him with a smile: "Boss Li, Boss Li, I haven't seen you for a while, and the business is okay?"

Boss Li was a little obese, but he was very energetic, and when he saw Cheng Sifang, he laughed: "Boss Cheng!

Cheng Quartet said: "Good sales, good sales." After a pause, he said, "I want to discuss something with Boss Li." Boss Li smiled, ordered tea, invited Cheng Sifang to sit down, and asked, "I don't know what Boss Cheng wants to discuss with Li?"

Cheng Sifang asked: "I want to take down Boss Li's field, dare to ask Boss Li if he is willing?" Boss Li was stunned: "Take down my field?" Cheng Sifang didn't wait for Boss Li to say more, and said busily: "Don't worry, it's not to sweep Boss Li out of the house, the pen price will be given, Boss Li will still be the boss, but the pen is only for me, I guarantee that Boss Li's sales are more than in the past, how?"

Boss Li frowned and said, "This ...... No way. Cheng Sifang slapped in the air: "Five hundred taels of silver, I will take down your field, and Boss Li will earn five hundred taels for nothing, which is my letter money." Five hundred taels of silver is a sky-high price, but Boss Li still shook his head: "No, no, no." Cheng Sifang was stunned: "Eight hundred taels of silver!" Cheng Sifang sold Cao Cao 200 pens, each seven taels, after the purchase of carriage and horse goods, there are more than 1,200 taels of silver, as long as it can be taken down this pen field, Cheng Sifang will not care even if it is all given to Boss Li.

Boss Li still shook his head: "Boss Cheng, I'm really sorry, I really can't give it to you this time." Xiao Zhihan was annoyed in his heart and asked: "Boss Li, eight hundred taels of silver, you have been doing business in this Ping County for a lifetime, and you may not be able to make so much money, so don't be too greedy!" Cheng Sifang immediately stopped: "Xiao Han!" and asked Boss Li again: "What is the price in Boss Li's mind?" Boss Li laughed: "Boss Cheng, it's not a matter of money, but that my field has been given to others." ”

"What?" Cheng Sifang stood up violently, his bad premonition really came true, and a chill went straight up his spine from his heels: "When did you give it to someone else?" Boss Li said: "Just two hours ago." ”

This pen field must be taken down as its own exclusive use, otherwise there will be no way to supply pens for Cao Cao, not to mention the loss of a business, it is very likely to lose his head. Cheng Sifang was anxious, took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Can you re-order it for me?" ”

Boss Li said: "That's not good, it's been given to others, and the government has been asked to testify, it is clearly written in black and white, I don't dare to change it." Cheng Sifang continued: "Then I will continue to buy goods from you in the future." Boss Li said: "That's not done, I gave it to someone else, then someone else is my owner, the owner does not release the goods, I can't release the goods, now this pen field is said to be my supervisor, but the shipment is not my final say." ”

Cheng Sifang sighed: "Alas...... In this case, Cheng Quartet said goodbye. ”

"Walk slowly, don't send. ”

Cheng Sifang and Xiao Zhihan left the pen yard, Xiao Zhihan said angrily: "This Boss Li is really too deceitful, and he refuses to sell eight hundred taels of silver." Cheng Sifang said: "This is also something that can't be helped, after all, he gave it to someone else." Xiao Zhihan asked, "Then what now?"

Cheng Quartet was silent, his plan was to take Cao Cao's line, and then build a pen field, so that this kind of pen can really only be owned by himself, so that he can do long-term business with Cao Cao. But now the pen field has been given to others, and I can't buy it if I want to, this year is okay, and when I hand over the pen next year, how to explain to Cao Cao?

Cheng Sifang smiled bitterly: "It's over, the business is not done, but I have to lose my life, I only have a year to live in the Quartet." Xiao Zhihan stomped his feet, turned around and entered the pen field, only to hear the sound of "Oops! Oops!" from the pen field, Xiao Zhihan lifted Boss Li out, and Boss Li's voice was like a chick: "The woman spares her life!" Xiao Zhihan asked sharply: "Who did you give the pen field to?" Say it quickly! Otherwise, I will send you back to heaven with a sword!"

Boss Li is an authentic businessman, and his legs are weak with fright, but now he is lifted in the air by Xiao Zhihan, otherwise he would have collapsed on the ground.

"I gave it to ...... The plate was given to Yecheng's ...... Boss Su Cheng!"

Xiao Zhihan threw Boss Li into the scrap pile on the side, and said, "Boss, we have been calculated." Cheng Sifang nodded: "You found that the person who followed us must be Su Cheng's person." ”

"Boss, what should we do now?" Cheng Sifang thought for a while and said, "Everyone is tired today, let's rest for a few days first, and then go to Yecheng to find Su Cheng." ”

In Yecheng, a mansion, the word "Su Mansion" is written on the door plaque, and the place that can be called "mansion" is only rich people in addition to the official office land and aristocratic residences. The word "house" is not something that ordinary people can hang on the door, but wealth can be channeled, and Su Cheng bought a nobleman with money to do it, so naturally he can also hang the word "house".

One person entered the Su Mansion, bypassed the atrium, and went straight to the backyard, this person was none other than Qiu Ba, who almost took his life in the Quartet! Qiu Ba entered a room, and saw a person sitting on a chair playing with the night pearl in his hand, this person was very handsome, luxurious, although he was over forty years old, he was still heroic, it was Su Cheng, a wealthy businessman in Yecheng.

Qiu Ba saluted Su Cheng and said, "Master, I'm sorry, it didn't work out." ”

"Heh!" Su Cheng sneered: "Your business was not done, but my business was done." Qiu Ba's face was full of apologies: "I'm really sorry, this time I lost my troops and lost my generals, and I'm afraid that I can't continue to intercept the mountain road." ”

Su Cheng said: "Forget it, I let you be stationed on the mountain road for three years to cut off the shortcut between Yecheng and Pingxian, I knew that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect Cao Cao to send Zhang Liao and lose a lot of brothers, but it's a pity." ”

Qiu Ba asked, "If we don't kill Cheng Quartet, what should we do next?"

As soon as Su Cheng heard the words "Cheng Sifang", his expression became a little displeased: "Cheng Sifang, this kid, who is setting up a stall in Yecheng and playing tricks, can even become Cao Cao's pen supplier! I originally thought that he was doing some small business and posing no threat to us, but I underestimated him too much. ”

Qiu Ba said: "I'll take someone to Pingxian and kill him." ”

Su Cheng smiled: "Don't do anything, you didn't kill Cheng Quartet, count his fate, or in a few days, he will come to me by himself, when the time comes, I want this milky kid to know that doing business is not such a simple thing, I will let him obediently listen to my words and serve me." ”

Qiu Ba also laughed: "The master is wise. ”

Su Cheng said: "Wise fart, I asked you to cut off the road between Yecheng and Pingxian in order to get the furs and medicinal materials of Pingxian, if these things are transported from the official road, the cost will be large, but from the mountain road, it will save a lot of expenses, others don't have it, only I have it, so I can do business." But I, Su Cheng, missed the brush business, is this also wise?"

Qiu Ba said: "The master can cut off the mountain road and prevent other caravans from obtaining furs and medicinal materials from Pingxian, which is enough to make other caravans look forward to it." ”

Su Cheng laughed: "You, you." Qiu Ba also laughed.
