Two hundred and forty-four out of the customs

On the banks of the Tengchuan River, Tongcheng.

As an ancient city with an age of no other than Quwo, the people of Tongcheng have been enjoying the unique scenery around Qiangjin Capital for hundreds of years.

For example, you can often see chariots and horses from various countries passing by Tongcheng; for example, every time the Jin Dynasty conquers other countries, the soldiers who return to Quwo will pass by this place, allowing the people of Tongcheng to feel the glory of being Jin people.

Jin State has been strong for hundreds of years, and the people of Quwo and Tongcheng have been stable for hundreds of years, and they are almost forgetting the feeling of being in a chaotic world.

It was not until not long ago that General Jia Hua hurried into the city alone that the people of Tongcheng felt something was wrong.

Even though I have heard of the rumors of the three families attacking Jin, in the simple hearts of the common people, the invincible Jin army will definitely be able to defend against the enemy outside the national gate and once again bring victory to Jin.

But now, the Tang army has arrived outside Tongcheng City. If we go further, it will be Quwo.

While responding to General Jia Hua's call, the people of Tongcheng took the initiative to assist in defending the city and reporting the spies, they couldn't help but wonder: Why did this great Jin, which was victorious in every battle, force the people of Tang to do this?

Tongcheng closed all the four-sided city gates very early, and no one was allowed to enter and exit without Jia Hua's handwriting. The four-sided city walls were surrounded like iron barrels.

Such defense made most people in Tongcheng feel safe, and also made some people even more uneasy.

In the room No. 1, "Jialaiju" in the city's old hotel, three figures sat at the table, and they were quarreling.

Looking in, a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, wearing armor in the style of a lower-level officer in the Jin army was spitting at the scholar opposite: "I say, sir, when will our goods arrive? Three days have passed since the agreed days, and brothers are waiting!"

The scribe looked in his early forties, wearing a blue crown on his head, and smiling like a thin version of Maitreya Buddha.

Behind him was a burly man with a big knife on his waist and a long axe in his hand shining with cold light.

After quietly waiting for the middle-aged officer to complain, the scholar replied slowly: "Sir Zhao, don't be anxious. Now the Martial Arts Commander of Tongcheng is not unaware of it. Don't talk about alcohol, even a fly cannot fly in."

"No, how did you say this?" Zhao Zhuchang became anxious when he heard this, "Fa Zheng, brothers have paid the deposit, you can't cheat us! If you still can't see the promised Tang wine within three days, you will let you go with it!"

The big man behind the scholar heard it so much that he didn't even think about slashing the ground with an axe: "Dare you threaten?"

Zhu Zhuang Zhao obviously knew how powerful this man was. He touched his nose guiltily and changed his face with deep grudges and grudges: "Mr. Fa, do you have to think of a way? The brothers are going to fight and kill the enemy, but this sip of wine is just for this sip of wine. The city has been cut off for several days, and the brothers really can't stand it!"

Fa Zheng smiled and stretched out his two fingers: "Two ways, one: Don't commit crimes against the wind, return the deposit, and wait until the wind is over before doing business with the brothers; two: Master Zhao will make it convenient for you to let Brother Xu and Brother Xu Gongming go out of the city to bring you wine. Which one is the best? Master Zhao will choose it yourself."

"This..." Zhuchang Zhao looked embarrassed, "It's so tight now that you are not making things difficult for brothers? Otherwise... I will send my brothers to send a letter to your people and ask them to transport the wine to the city gate, and I will pick it up by myself!"

"The Chief of the Soldier said this ridiculously." Fa Zheng smiled, "It's not the first time you and I have been in business. If the boss doesn't go in person, he will not receive anything. This is the most clear thing about Chief of the Soldier Zhao?"

Soldier Zhao was silent.

He knew that Fa Zheng’s words were true. At this time, the prohibited transactions that made money in war were all profitable with their heads, and no one believed it except the contactor himself. Even Fa Zheng’s handwritten letter would not be possible.

But General Jia Hua's blockade order is not a joke. He is a small leader, so it is not difficult to let Fa Zheng go out, but if something goes wrong, his head will be gone.

Seeing that Zhu Zhao didn't say anything for a long time, Xu Huang couldn't hold it in, so he poked the ground with a long axe and shouted: "In a word! Is this business still going to be done? If you do it, you will let it go, and if you don't do it, you will refund the money! He was so slapping like a woman, wasting my time!"

Zhuang Zhao was still hesitant. Seeing this, Fa Zheng shook his sleeves and stood up and said to leave: "It was Fa Zheng who made Zhuang embarrassed. At the latest tomorrow, I will definitely ask Brother Gongming to return the deposit to you."

"No, no, Mr. Fa, don't be anxious."

Commander Zhao quickly stopped the person, thought about it and then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, "It's time to do business with you, and it doesn't look like a spy. Tomorrow afternoon, it's only two hours, go and go back!"

"And," Zhao Zhushu added, "I can't just let you two go. I have to let a few brothers follow me. This is the final bottom line!"

Fa Zheng and Xu Huang looked at each other and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Zhuang Zhao, do business, I won't make things difficult for the old customer."

After finalizing this deal, Xu Huang hugged Zhuzhang like a change of face, and warmly persuaded him to drink with his brother.

This unique wine in the Tang Dynasty is really fragrant. Zhao Zhuchang and others tried it once and could not stop.

I feel even happier when I think about having a good time tomorrow, so I take the initiative to pull Xu Huang up and start drinking.

Fa Zheng sat upright opposite, responding to Chief Zhao's jokes from time to time. His black eyes were like a deep pool without any bottom, and he could not see his emotions. Chief Zhao did what he said.

On the afternoon of the next day, Fa Zheng and Xu Huang changed their clothes from Jin soldiers. In the name of "going out of the city to explore the enemy", they rode their horses away from Tongcheng under the protection of ten Jin soldiers.

Fa Zheng and Xu Huang ran south, crossing the two villages without stopping. Seeing that an hour was about to pass, the soldiers of the Jin army following gradually felt something was wrong.

The two leading sergeants immediately stepped forward to grab the reins of Fa Zheng and Xu Huang, and asked loudly: "Where do you want to go?"

"Where do you go?" Fa Zheng smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to get wine for you all."

The two sergeants were half-believing and half-doubted, but they still did not dare to let go of their reins.

One of them looked around carefully and suddenly exclaimed: "No! This is not the way to get goods before. This road is obviously to the King of Officials, and they are going to surrender to the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Huang's expression suddenly changed and he killed the two sergeants on the horse in just one round.

Seeing that something was wrong, the other Jin troops rushed forward to see that the two of them were not good, and they wanted to kill them.

"So brave!" Xu Huang shouted loudly, and the axe in his hand was so cold.

In less than half a cup of tea, none of the ten Jin soldiers, including the two sergeants, survived.

Fa Zheng Yijie's scholar, but his face remained unchanged in the face of such killings, and even clapped: "Brother Gongming's martial arts are still so extraordinary. He always feels moved whenever he pays homage."

"Sir, I'm sorry." Xu Huang wiped the blood on the axe blade with his body's clothes, and then advised, "The reinforcements from Jin State will come soon. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Xu Huang will protect Mr. and whip to see Mr. Tang!"

"Okay! I've seen Gong Tang make great contributions and I will definitely seek an official position for Gongming!"

Fa Zheng laughed loudly, his legs were squeezed into the horse's belly. The horse hurt and spread its hooves and ran.

At this time, Fang Li's army had already set off the camp from Wangguan County. It is said that Wangguan is less than a hundred miles away from Tongcheng, and can reach it in less than five days with the normal marching speed of the Tang army.

However, Fang Li insisted on marching only ten miles a day, and then he would camp and rest on the spot after walking ten miles. No matter how Cao Cao and others persuaded him, they would no longer move.

So three days later, the Tang army actually walked less than forty miles. The speed was not like rushing to take down Tongcheng to break the siege of Pinglu, but they came to have a picnic in a special way.

Every time Cao Cao took everyone's questions to see Fang Li, the answer he got was "waiting for others". However, he didn't say who he was waiting for, which made people confused.

Fortunately, Fang Li has not done anything stupid since the rebellion. However, the generals still believe that Fang Li has already had some trick to defeat the enemy.

Over time, I was still looking forward to it.

At noon that day, the Tang army had been walking for ten miles, and no longer needed Fang Li's orders, he automatically spontaneously set up camp.

Fang Li sat on the prepared marching stool, watching the army's work as he was anxious.

Originally, Fang Li planned to use extremely slow marches to disrupt Jia Hua's sight first, making the Jin army confused about what the parties were trying to make.

Waiting for Fa Zheng, the system said the great gift - the city defense map, the deployment of troops was to raid the path, and Fang Li couldn't think of anything else.

Just as Fa Zheng arrived, the Tang army immediately marched outside Tongcheng, caught him off guard, and took down Tongcheng in one fell swoop.

But it has been the third day, and I will really get to the city after procrastinating. Why haven’t Fa Zheng come yet?

He took a bite of the dry food in his hand like anger, and Fang Li felt more and more that the system was a scam.

I don’t say how long I waited every time. It didn’t matter if the situation was not urgent. Now I have to tell him about this situation, otherwise what should I do if I delay major issues!

Cao Cao, Zhang Liao and others looked at Fang Li's strange behavior from afar. Although they were puzzled, no one dared to touch the lord's brow for curiosity.

While venting his anger silently, the young soldiers dressed in a scout came to report: "Report to the lord, the young men have caught two scouts of the Jin army!"

"Two Jin army scouts?" Fang Li asked while chewing, "Why do you tell me about this?"

"Lord, forgive me!" the young soldier said with his head down, "Because one of the scouts said he must meet his lord, and said that the lord must know who he is, the villain came to report it!"

"You must see me? You also said I must know him?" Fang Li muttered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up: Fa Zheng!

Two scouts, one is Fa Zheng, and the other must be Xu Huang!
