Bingzhou-Shangdangcheng!
When the sun rises three poles, the sky is bright. All the gates of other cities are wide open, allowing residents to come and go. Shangdang City is an exception. The city gates are still closed, the suspension bridge is high, and no one is allowed to pass. Only one team is fully equipped. Armed soldiers patrolled back and forth on the city wall, and the defense was extremely tight!
¡°Hoo!¡Hoo!¡±
It's already November. Autumn is turning to winter. The temperature has dropped sharply. The biting north wind is like a knife. It makes people's cheeks sore and their hands and feet are cold. The soldiers touch their thin clothes and pat them. Their stomachs were listless, and they couldn't help but slow down. Since ancient times, emperors have always had hungry soldiers, and their stomachs can't be filled. How can they have the strength to defend the city?
Shangdangcheng is the gateway to Bingzhou and an important transportation thoroughfare. There are frequent business trips and very generous taxes. In addition, Yecheng allocates a large amount of military pay, grain and grass. The defenders are well fed, clothed warmly, and have some money in their pockets. With pocket money, I lived a very comfortable life, but after the Battle of Xiliang, everything changed!
In the Battle of Xiliang, Yuan's army suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and lost countless weapons, food and grass. Shangdang County was used as a rear base to support the frontline war, and all the wealth accumulated over the years was wiped out!
Next, before Xiao Yi left, he played another military deception. He came to the city and made a posture of attacking Shangdang. He asked for a large amount of supplies. If he didn't give them, he would immediately fight with swords!
After the defeat, the third son Yuan Shang was already discouraged. He had no courage to start a war, so he had to search the whole city and collect all kinds of supplies by "squeezing the sand for oil", and then sent away the "God of Death". , save yourself a small life!
That's not all. In order to prevent the enemy from attacking, Yuan Shang issued an order: "From now on, the gate of Shangdang City will be closed day and night, and no one will be allowed to enter or exit, so as to prevent Cao Jun's spies from sneaking in, cooperating inside and outside, and attacking the city!"
By closing the city gates, there will be no business and travel, and there will be no tax revenue. The source of the Shangdang¡¯s money will be completely cut off!
The final result was that Yuan Shang took a group of close subordinates back to Yecheng to enjoy the wine and lamb, leaving behind the impoverished Shangdang City and tens of thousands of hungry and cold soldiers, living in misery, and the people in the city were even more miserable. It's miserable, either running away to beg for food, or starving to death. The originally prosperous and prosperous town has almost turned into a deserted city!
"woo woo woo woo!"
"The enemy is attacking! If anyone comes, stop, and if they dare to approach the city gate again, we will open our bows and fire arrows!"
"Don't shoot your arrows yet you are not an enemy!"
The wilderness of the deserted city was silent, and suddenly there was the sound of rumbling horse hooves. Then, a group of people and horses approached from far away and quickly approached the city gate. The patrolling soldiers immediately blew their horns, bent their bows and nocked arrows, preparing to defend against the enemy!
As the team approached, they realized that it was a false alarm. It was not an army, but a large-scale caravan with about three hundred men driving thousands of horses and dozens of carts. Loaded with all kinds of goods!
There is a recognition flag erected in the caravan, with a fat little monster painted on it, holding a pot helmet in his hand, with his big mouth open, which is indescribably cute. In addition, each truck also has a Feiya flag. The flag is three feet in size, sky blue in color, with the word 'Zhen' flying in the middle, clearly visible!
"Brothers in the city, don't get me wrong. We are the caravan of the Zhen family in Hebei. Please open the city gate and let us pass. Thank you very much!"
The caravan stopped a stone's throw away, and a young man with a small dark face walked out. His whole body was shining with gold, like a caravan steward. After waving his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions, the man slowly approached the city. Door, raise your head and shout!
"Shangfeng has already issued a strict order. The entire city of Shangdang is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter or leave. You'd better take a detour!"
If ordinary people approached the city gate, the defenders would have killed them with random arrows. However, the people came under the banner of the Zhen family, which made them a little wary. The caravan of the 'Hebei No. 1 rich man' was not something that small soldiers like them dared to offend!
"Haha, the Zhen family's caravan travels all over the world and has always passed without hindrance. When will we cross the road? My fifth son is also in the team. Please make it easy for us to pass. Small gifts are not a sign of respect!"
While he was talking, the dark-faced young man took out a brocade bag and wanted to throw it up to the top of the city. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough strength. He threw it more than a foot high and then dropped it back. It fell on the loess soil, and a small pile of golden barley fell out, which was reflected in the sunshine. Shining brightly under the light!
"Gold!¡ª¡ªlots of gold!"
"What a waste, with no strength at all. Are you still a man?"
?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
The garrison soldiers lived a hard life. Suddenly they saw gold and started shouting. But what?Mrs. Liang returned to the car and seemed not to like being in public!
"The caravan carried 1,200 horses and 50 carts of goodsa total of 380 million yuan, and the tax rate was 1 in 2019 million yuan"
The black-faced young man came over. He was full of business knowledge. He clarified complicated accounts just by doing calculations orally. At first glance, he looked like a guy who had been doing business all year round!
Next, the caravan handed over the customs duties, left a cart of fine wine as a reward for the soldiers, drove the horses, and headed east
"Brother, this is a fat sheep. It's a pity to let it go like this!" Lu Xiang's eyes turned red. More than 300 million yuan is enough for him to eat, drink and have fun for a lifetime
"That's right handsome men and beautiful women, alluring the city and the country. If you let it go like this, my brother's heart will bleed!" Lu Kuang's eyes glowed green, like a bad wolf that saw its prey!
In troubled times, a family of soldiers and bandits, even though they are defenders of the Shangdang, in order to make a fortune, the Lu family brothers will occasionally act as horse thieves, doing some killings and stealing goods, as long as their hands and feet are clean and neat, no trace will be exposed!
A great opportunity is just around the corner. The two brothers want to change their careers again. With only three hundred men, it is not difficult to deal with them The barren mountains and ridges are just the right time to start!
