Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 647 Who is the leader of the Nanyang Gang?
Well--

When the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded on the mountain road behind them, for a moment, the merchants who were loading grain beside the Han River were panicked.

Speaking of which, they are all big businessmen in the local area, traveling all over the country and witnessing many big scenes.

It also brings a lot of songs...

But...even so, it was the first time for many people to hear the loud and rapid sound of horse hooves.

"What is it?"

"No...it's Wei's cavalry..."

As the words "Cavalry of Wei" were chanted, it was visible to the naked eye that all the countless merchants were panicking.

Then, from the dust and smoke rising in the distance, a group of cavalry rushed towards them.

Judging from their appearance, they were officers and soldiers of the Wei army in Shangyong County, and each of them grinned, and the shining blades in their hands made people look... intimidating and creepy.

"Run...run..."

A businessman shouted directly.

But at this time, the men who originally shipped the food were already scattered.

It seems that they have realized that if the transportation of grain and grass is discovered by Wei Jun Bingyong, then... for them, they will definitely be killed without mercy.

Unfortunately, the Han River was in front of them, and the only road... was already full of knights from the Wei army.

——'It's over? 』

——'Is it over? 』

The merchants here were all terrified and trembling all over.

On the other hand, looking at the charging Wei cavalry team, especially the leader Cao Xiu, as the distance got closer, he could clearly see the panic on the expressions of these merchants.

Obviously, this is enough to show the guilty conscience of these businessmen.

"Hmph!" Cao Xiu reined in his horse even harder with one hand, thinking to himself: "What are you guilty of? Sure enough, Deng Yang was right, there is a ghost——"

Immediately, Cao Xiu ordered loudly and his tone increased.

"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy——"

Just like this, on one side was the heroic cavalry of the Wei army who was roaring in, sharpening their swords, and was sure to win, and on the other side was the unarmed and panic-stricken convoy of Central Plains merchants who completely messed up their control.

This was supposed to be a relaxing, pleasant, bloody massacre... without any room for change.

Accidents can happen in an instant.

Whether it was Cao Xiu or the roaring Wei Jun Xiaoqi, all their attention was on these merchants and the batch of goods along the Han River...

Also because the other party is a merchant, it seems... they completely despise them, and killing the merchants... is like killing a chicken!
This is actually true.

How can merchants, even with many troops, compare with the regular army?
Just, right now.

No one noticed that the tripping rope buried in fallen leaves on the ground was directly hit by the Wei army's brave cavalry.

"Dede, getta -" With a burst of horses' neighing, the entire front team flipped on their backs, while the back team couldn't dodge and quickly collided...

It was the occurrence of this scene that caused the caravans who were originally panic-stricken, dripping with sweat, and running around to stop, and looked at the place where the Wei army fell from their horses with confusion, confusion, and confusion.

However... tripping over the horse is just the beginning.

Because the people in the front team fell on their backs, the entire cavalry team was in chaos for a while.

The rear team immediately reined in their horses, which prevented the friendly troops from trampling each other, but the entire cavalry of several hundred people gathered together.

At this time...

There was only a "boom" sound, and the ground suddenly collapsed for some unknown reason. As if it could not bear the weight of hundreds of Wei troops and horses, the whole ground sank... into deep holes!

"what…"

"Help me..."

"help me…"

"Oops..."

Voices came out from the cavalry of the Wei army, and at this time, countless deep pits appeared in front of all the merchants, and all the Wei army, including Cao Xiu, fell into the pits.

"what happened?"

All the merchants along the Han River were dumbfounded.

The whole process happened so fast, so swiftly that they felt dazzled and dumbfounded...the four words "unbelievable" were revealed in their hearts and eyes!

what's the situation?
What's happening here?
Their lives were hanging by a thread just now, but now...

Before these merchants could react, soldiers were already running out of the dense forest around them. Most of these soldiers were locals from Shangyong, or officers and soldiers from Beiwu County to be precise. They seemed to have been prepared, and directly took a piece of A large net was spread into the deep pits, and the net was covered with daggers.

The moment it was sprinkled, there was a sound of "ghosts crying and wolves howling"... and the real purpose of these large nets was to prevent the enemy from climbing up.

However... this was just the beginning. More soldiers emerged from the surrounding dense forests, which surprised every merchant...

They never dreamed that there was actually a regiment ambushed here.

——"What...when did you ambush?" 』

With such doubts, they suddenly discovered that... these new soldiers immediately took out their crossbows, and even some repeating crossbows, and shot directly into these deep holes... Their expressions were indifferent, without any hint of indifference. look of pity
The merchants were very familiar with these repeating crossbows. It seemed that among the ambushed soldiers there were troops from Jingzhou.

"Swish swish swish——"

A dense rain of arrows fell from the sky, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and ruthlessly shot into the chaotic cavalry formation in the deep pit.

For a moment, blood spattered...

Many cavalrymen were hit by several arrows and fell to the ground in pain. Some warhorses were shot and bumped around in the narrow space, trampling on each other and neighing in despair, but soon...these horses would fall. Die on the ground.

For a time, these huge pits on the bank of the Han River... seemed to have turned into huge slaughterhouses, with wailing and despair everywhere.

The crossbowmen did not stop. They quickly replaced their arrows with new arrows and continued to shoot at the chaotic cavalry position.

Every trembling of the bowstring means the passing of a life.

Until then...

The merchants along the Han River seemed to have realized something. They looked at each other...but they were still inevitably in shock.

A young man was the first to wake up from this horrifying scene. He exclaimed: "It's... our own people, our own soldiers and horses. They are... escorting us food teams!"

And as this voice came out, more merchants still felt huge confusion and confusion.

At this time.

With the sound of "step", the young businessman walked out of a cabin carelessly.

As soon as he came out, he was immediately surrounded by all the other businessmen...

Yes!

This trip to deliver food was the result of his departure. With everything happening in front of him now, he should know something.

"Brother Ma? This is..."

When the first merchant opened his mouth, Ma Hu stretched out his index finger and made a "shh" gesture. Then he did not answer what was happening in front of him, but just ordered: "The matter has been solved, don't be stunned. Move the food quickly and don't delay the time agreed with Mr. Yun Qi."

This sentence seemed casual to Ma Hu, but it also seemed to answer everyone's questions...

——'Master Yunqi? 』

——‘Could these be Master Yunqi’s arrangements? 』

...

At the same time, Deng Yang, who was standing on the hillside and witnessing everything happening here, was holding his hands behind his back and his eyes were bright. At this time, some personal guards came to report. "We have joined forces with the Guan army to kill Cao Xiu and his cavalry. Cao Xiu was hit by several arrows and was trampled by horses. He is already dead."

After hearing Cao Xiu's death, Deng Yang nodded slightly, then stretched out his right hand to stroke his mustache, and then asked with caution: "Is the perimeter sealed?"

"It's sealed! There are no eyes within ten miles of this place..."

"Okay!" Deng Yang nodded again as if in praise.

At this time, he couldn't help but look up at the blue sky.

The sight, which was like seeing the sun behind the clouds, made his heart flutter, and his thoughts also drifted to the afternoon three days ago.

Deng Yang was greedy for money and lustful, but he was neither stupid nor foolish.

Even though the merchant Ma Hu delivered a large amount of gold and silver to his mansion, he still sensed that there was something fishy about the goods, so he immediately invited the young merchant Ma Hu over.

He didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point, "Isn't this batch of goods of yours not some northern handicrafts, but grains?" 』

This was the sentence that made Ma Hu confused and stunned. He subconsciously looked around, as if looking for the swordsman ambushing the screen, outside the door, or under the window.

At this time, Deng Yang's voice came out again, "My eyes are too sensitive to grain. Just by looking at the marks of the ruts, I can guess the reason. Now that Wei and Shu are at war, your batch of grain and grass With such a sneaky luck, it couldn’t be given to General Xiahou, right? Hahaha!”

These words scared Ma Hu to the point of peeing.

With these words, Sloppy's waist immediately became unable to straighten up. He directly cupped his hands and said: "Brother Deng, I...I..."

"What are you doing? Haha..." Deng Yang's eyes narrowed and he said with a smile, "What? Are you still going to use money to settle this matter? But you don't think about me? This money...I Is it because you have a life to earn money? Or, if I give you...this batch of food to the King of Wei, how can the reward from the King of Wei be less?

Deng Yang's smile became louder and louder.

At this time, Sloppy was trembling all over and sweating profusely... The big sweat drops on his forehead kept falling down.

Stealing the chicken will lose the rice...

This is to steal the chicken but lose the rice!
I originally expected to make a lot of money, but now I'm fine, I'm afraid my head will be ruined here!
Just when Ma Hu was desperate...

Deng Yang changed the subject, "Actually, besides exposing you, there is another way. I may be able to reap greater benefits..."

"What...what..." Sloppy's voice became stumbling.

But Deng Yang suddenly raised his hand, put it heavily on Ma Hu's shoulder, and his voice suddenly raised: "Then I will make a plan to attract Cao Xiu, and use his Cao Xiu's life to use the Shangyong County. , use this batch of food that has arrived as scheduled, in exchange for my glory for the rest of my life, Deng Yang, hahahaha... I just don’t know, can you take charge of this for Mr. Yun Qi? "

Uh…

No very Tailai.

When Ma Hu heard this sentence, he was completely confused and his mind was "buzzing".

His pupils went from condensation to hugeness, and even after a dozen breaths of relief, he never regained his composure...

Oh my god?

He only had a feeling that he had heard wrongly, or that he was hearing hallucinations in the face of impending disaster and despair.

But he heard Deng Yang's voice coming out again, "You don't have to be surprised or afraid. It's true that I, Deng Yang, am greedy for money and profit, but I am also aware of current events. Times have changed. In the past, I was sure that Wei would win! I am loyal. Wei can get glory for the rest of his life, but now... Wei? Haha... The emperor is lost, Cao Cao is defeated... The Han Dynasty has more Guan Lin Guan Yunqi... Such a young man who can often create miracles, now at this age What does Cao Cao compare with Han? Can any of Cao Cao's sons rival Guan Lin? Hahahahahaha... The emperor is now in the hands of the Guan family. Instead of believing that Cao Cao will come back, I would rather To believe that another "Emperor Guangwu" is about to be born!"

This…

This…

Undoubtedly, Deng Yang's words were surprising, startling, and enlightening to Ma Hu.

With a "gudong" sound, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and opened his mouth, but under this situation, he could not say anything.

In fact, he and Guan Lin had only met once. If he could make the decision for Guan Lin, he...he was not qualified!

After a long time, as if he had completely woken up from the surprise, Ma Hu said: "Brother Deng...Brother Deng's words are too...too sudden. I...although I can't make the decision to Master Yunqi, but... But I was able to contact General Fu Shiren after all. General Shiren is Young Master Yunqi’s eldest brother. I think... through him, I can convey Brother Deng’s attitude to Young Master Yunqi!”

"That's good...that's good..." Deng Yang nodded slowly.

Then, he discussed in detail with Ma Hu how to lure Cao Xiu into the situation, how to lead Cao Xiu into the predetermined ambush circle, and how to use Cao Xiu's head in exchange for his certificate of surrender.

Obviously... there is a reason why Deng Yang, the extremely successful speculator in history, is known as the "Three Dogs of Taichung" and became Cao Shuang's loyal lackey.

He can be greedy and lustful to the extreme, but he has never been punished by Cao Shuang. This... also has a method.

At least...his sensitivity to the current situation and his choice of loyalties...from these two aspects alone, the situation is completely opened.

After talking about the specific plan...

They handed over their hands carelessly and solemnly, and the two were about to say goodbye, but at this moment... After Deng Yang rolled his eyes repeatedly, he couldn't help but add, "I heard that Master Yunqi established an alliance in Jiangdong. There are rumors in our north... Jiang The Zuo Alliance... is for the purpose of mining veins and digging for gold? Hehe... Brother Lao Xian, please mention one more thing in the letter, can our Nanyang Deng family... join the Jiang Zuo Alliance? "

Ancient maps are completely opposite to those of later generations...

The left side and the right side, the top side and the bottom side are completely reversed.

Jiangzuo...is both Jiangyou and Jiangdong in the traditional sense!
This is also why the Jiangdong Merchant Alliance is known as the "Jiangzuo Alliance" in the north, which is similar to the names "Longyou" and "Guandong".

Of course, this is all nonsense.

The point is, Deng Yang from Shangyong City also heard about Guan Lin leading the "Jiangzuo Alliance" to make money. Not only did he hear about it, he also yearned for it!

On the contrary, he was careless... After hearing what Deng Yang said, his eyes widened.

In fact, he had also heard the legend about the Jiangzuo League digging into the Jinshan Mountain.

But... firstly, he only met Guan Lin once, and secondly... he and Guan Lin have different identities. It's hard to ask about this kind of thing!

This time, I heard Deng Yang say this...

He said, "Okay, okay, okay..."

But I thought in my heart.

——"Such a good thing, I haven't asked yet, where will it be your turn?" 』

Of course, these have little to do with the situation.

At this moment, on the hillside.

Deng Yang slowly lowered his head... These thoughts came to an end when the sound of "ghosts crying and wolves howling" completely fell from the deep cave beside the Han River.

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip, as if he had already tasted the taste of being "rich" for the rest of his life.

He couldn't help but think of the letter sent to him personally by Guan Lin Feige.

This is the letter I just received today.

There is no need to mention the pleasantries mentioned above.

That sentence is still fresh in Deng Yang's memory, as if it is embedded in his heart.

——"Jiangdong digs gold with Jiangbei League!" 』

——"There should be a Nanyang Gang who is cutting gold in Longyou!" The head of the Deng family, a descendant of General Yuntai of Nanyang? Who is the leader of the Nanyang Gang? 』

It was this sentence that made Deng Yang excited.

From before this action.

What he chanted repeatedly in his heart was this sentence - "Master Yunqi is so kind to me. If Cao Xiu can breathe a little more today, if all Shangyong County cannot surrender, then I, Deng Yang, will not be worthy of this wealth." ! 』

Thinking of this, Deng Yang's expression suddenly became solemn.

He pointed to the periphery, and then ordered: "The news here must be blocked, and Shangyong County, and the soldiers who infiltrated in Jingzhou are also under control! In addition, as usual, send a document to Chang'an that Shangyong County is safe and sound. The Cao thief in the city, give it to the old thief Xiahou in Hanzhong! Let them relax their vigilance..."

Speaking of this, Deng Yang's expression became more serious, and every word became more sonorous and powerful.

"Remember, this is about the future wealth of all of us. Haha, cheer up. Our good days are behind us--"
