The Three Kingdoms

————————————————————————————————————

The battle in Shuofang was fierce, but in the south of Shuofang, outside the city of Lian County, Beidi County, Liangzhou, quietly, a group of tens of thousands of elite cavalry had been waiting for a long time.

The leader is Cao Wei's tiger and leopard cavalry general Cao Chun, and the military adviser is naturally the Duke Situ of the Great Wei Dynasty, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao.

"Lord Situ, Huang Zhong is already besieging and killing Liu Bao. When can we attack?" Cao Chun asked with a murderous look.

Sun Wu killed his brother Cao Ren, and he wanted Sun Wu to pay the same price, he wanted Huang Zhong's head.

"Don't worry, they haven't fought hard yet, let's wait!"

Guo Jia stood on a hill with a feather fan in his hand, looked at the windy and sandy northern Xinjiang, and said indifferently: "At least we have to wait until the Liang army leaves Taiyuan to dispel Pang Tong's last trace of vigilance, and then we attack again, which is more sure. Take down Huang Zhong!"

He couldn't help admiring Pang Tong.

Although Pang Tong was defeated by Xi Zhicai in Donghai back then, he was still young and fledgling, so he could understand.

Now he is single-handedly planning this battle, advancing and retreating with discretion, step by step to introduce Liu Bao to the two Hun tribes giants into his ambush circle, this scheming, this ability, even if he is an enemy, he also has some admiration.

The more he admired, the more careful he was. Although they acted meticulously this time, and even used Ma Chao's soldiers and horses to cover them, Pang Tong was still a little on guard. The [-]th Blood Wolf Division was still eyeing Taiyuan.

He needed to wait until the Liang army did it, and he was doing it himself, so that he could make a surprise attack on them.

"Lord Situ, will Ma Chao fight Taiyuan?"

When Cao Chun heard this, he said sarcastically: "I used to think that Ma Mengqi was a strong general, but now I see him facing Sun Wu with his hands tied, I look down on him. He used the golden soldiers as an excuse to perfunctory us. A Han Sui bound Without him, he has not moved troops for a long time, I am afraid it is just that he dare not fight Sun Wu!"

"Ha ha!"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Ma Chao was a fierce tiger before, but now Ma Chao has become a prince. He lacks a bit of unafraid vigor and has a little more care, which is understandable!"

He can somewhat understand Ma Chao's transformation. Now that Ma Chao is the King of Liang, he is no longer the omnipotent Jin Ma Chao on the battlefield.

But he believes that Ma Chao will definitely send troops to Taiyuan, at least he will get back a complete Xihe County.

"Lord Situ, when are we going to wait? If Huang Zhong takes care of Liu Bao, isn't our work in vain?" Cao Chun became a little impatient.

"Up to three days, there will be a result. The two great generals under Ma Chao's command, Zhang Heng and Cheng Yin, are both in Xihe, so there shouldn't be too much thunder and little rain!"

Guo Jia looked solemn, and said: "Our goal in this battle is Huang Zhong. We can't make mistakes at all. Be careful. Wait for another three days. If there is no result in three days, I will allow you to attack!"

"Okay, I listen to you, I'm waiting for three days!"

Cao Chun's eyes burst out with hostility, and he said fiercely: "In three days' time, I will definitely wring Huang Zhong's head off in honor of my elder brother's spirit in heaven!" To be continued.

The capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, Luoyang City. . .

East Bazaar.

This market is the largest market in Luoyang City, and it is also the most prosperous and concentrated goods trading center in the entire Wei Dynasty.

The ten-mile long street is full of shops, like countless stars in the sky, and it is extremely lively.

In today's world, under the serious influence of the Soochow business district, the status of merchants in the whole world has now been upgraded to a higher level.

Especially after a unique economic war in Jizhou, the court of the Great Wei Dynasty also began to value this group of merchants who were usually humble and lowly.

When people in the merchant class are taken seriously, they will naturally rejuvenate and start to make progress, which will naturally lead to economic changes in the end.

Now the economy of the Great Wei Dynasty has begun to enter a period of explosion, and we can see how many clues can be seen from the prosperity of the four big markets in Luoyang City.

With the scorching sun in the sky, shouts from all the people in the East Market were intertwined, and merchants from the southeast, north, south, and north of the Great Wei Dynasty were clamoring together.

In a corner of the market, where it is relatively quiet, there is an elegant Wuguo study, which occupies a large area and sells books for a living.

Since the invention of movable type printing, books have not been as rare as before. The business of scholars and cultural people is actually the best. For a book, there are many scholars who spend all their money.

Therefore, the number of study rooms that sell books naturally began to increase gradually.

Wuguo Study is quite famous among these study rooms in Luoyang City, because it not only sells books, but also has a bit of the library style of later generations, opening up small square rooms in the study room, and then separating them with bamboo curtains.Books are available for rent.

Although there is a certain rent for reading books here, it is much cheaper than buying the books back.

Although movable type printing was invented, books are still very expensive nowadays, and there are many poor scholars who cannot afford books. This method naturally attracts the patronage of many poor scholars.

Even many noble children like to come here to study, because the books here are relatively complete.Quiet, attentive service, naturally very popular.

"Shopkeeper, I want a copy of "East View of Han Ji", do you have it here?" A mighty black-robed young man in his early thirties with a long sword on his waist came in and asked.

"Have!"

The shopkeeper of the study is an elegant scholar in his early forties.With a goatee, seeing someone coming, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Do you want to read here, or buy it back?"

"It's quiet here, I'll read here for a while, and then buy it back, is that okay?"

"of course can!"

The shopkeeper called a servant.Said: "Tunzi, take the guest officer to the study room of No. 12. Make a pot of tea and serve exquisite snacks."

"Yes!" A young servant came out and led the black-robed youth into an elegant and quiet study room.

The young man in black robe strode in. The small space separated by the bamboo curtain is not big, there is a bamboo mat and a desk.He untied his saber from his waist and knelt down.

After a while, the boy in the study delivered a book, holding a pot of tea, and then brought some snacks: "Guest officer, I won't disturb your reading!"

"Take it!" The black-robed youth handed over a bunch of copper coins, and said calmly, "Don't let anyone disturb me!"

"Okay!"

The boy's eyes lit up, he put away the reward with a smile on his face, and said: "If you need anything, please call me, I'll be right there!"

In the quiet reading room, the young man in black sipped a cup of tea, and began to open the book on the desk. After reading carefully, after about half a minute, he felt movement in a reading room next to him.

"Now Jia Xu is staring so closely, why are you looking for me!"

The young man in black looked at the book very intently, and then seemed to be talking to himself, lowering his voice as if he was just talking to the people in the reading room next door.

"I can't see other people. You are my only contact line. I have an urgent message that I need you to send back!" A deep voice answered from the reading room next door.

"Say!"

"Cao Chun led [-] tiger and leopard riders, and they are now in Beidi County. Their target is General Huang Zhong. They plan to catch General Huang Zhong by surprise. Once he succeeds in surprise attack, General Huang Zhong will be very dangerous!"

"what?"

Hearing the words, the young man in brocade was taken aback, and clenched his fists slightly, a little unbelievable: "Tigers and leopards rode tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to mobilize, why is there no news about us ghost soldiers?"
