Gongsun Zan has confirmed that he will capture Zhangwu County. The special existence of Zhangwu County on this territory has indeed made many of his men dissatisfied. It will be a matter of time for Gongsun Zan to capture Zhangwu County, but now it is not easy for him.

Said the time was right.

On March 24th, Gongsun Zan sent an envoy Guan Jing to Zhangwu County. He saw many people boarding ships and preparing to leave. He couldn't help but feel nervous. He hurriedly asked Wang Jinyong what was going on.

"Lord Guan, the situation in Jizhou is becoming more and more unstable. The battle between Jihou and Yuan Shao will definitely become more intense this year. Our Qilin Trading Company only wants to make money, and it seems that we cannot do business like this now.

After finishing the business with Jihou, we should withdraw. I don’t know how well Jihou has prepared the money. We have almost prepared food, grass and weapons. We can trade when the money arrives." Wang Jinyong said to Guan Jing.

Guan Jing thought that if he acted too late, Wang Jinyong would have to evacuate all the people in Zhangwu County. Then they would also want to arrest people and use them as meat to blackmail Zhou Tai, so it seemed that the army must move faster.

"All the money has been prepared. Jihou has sent an army to Zhangwu County. I am relieved to know that the food, grass and weapons have been delivered to Qilin Trading Company. It will be fine if I stay here. I will go back and urge them again.

Let the carriage transporting money go faster." Guan Jing said and left.

After Guan Jing left, Wang Jinyong found Liu Xin and told Liu Xin what Guan Jing said today intact. Liu Xin smiled after listening to it.

"Very good, it seems that the other party is worried about us leaving and is anxious.

Act according to the plan! Youping, you lead an army of 30,000 to stay behind, and leave all the cavalry to me. Let us teach Gongsun Zan a lesson today." Liu Xin said with a smile.

On March 26, there was a group of about 3,000 people in the western part of Zhangwu County. They were driving more than 300 carriages slowly towards Zhangwu County. Look at the tracks of the wheels and the contents of the carriages.

Not light.

The person in charge of Gongsun Zan's transaction this time is Qingzhou Mu Yangang. Gongsun Zan has entrusted him with many important things. This time they are bound to win.

The carriage passed through Zhangwu County and arrived outside the stronghold. At this time, a stronghold personnel walked out of the stronghold gate and walked towards Yan Gang.

"Jihou's motorcade came really quickly. It was actually escorted by Master Yan himself. I wonder how much money Master Yan brought this time." The person in charge asked Yan Gang.

"One thousand nine hundred gold, two hundred thousand gold." Yan Gang said a number that he had thought of for a long time.

"Okay! Please come into the city... By the way, Mr. Yan, why do you bring so many cavalry to this transaction? Except for unnecessary personnel, it is better for the rest of the guards to wait outside the stronghold." The person in charge suddenly said to Yan Gang.

"Does Qilin Trading Bank still distrust Jihou? When we take over Jihou's task, we must hand over all the money to Qilin Trading Bank after the settlement is completed." Yan Gang insisted, and the person in charge had no choice, so he asked his cavalry to

Entered the stronghold with other guards.

As soon as he entered the stronghold, Yan Gang felt something was wrong. Legend has it that the Zhangwu stronghold was very lively, but now he felt extremely deserted when he came in. Yan Gang couldn't help but ask the receptionist when he saw this place.

"Why is the military stronghold so deserted in this chapter? Why didn't Mr. Wang show up?" Yan Gang asked.

Yan Gang originally hoped that there would be fewer troops in this stronghold, so that he could take over the stronghold without waiting for Gongsun Zan to arrive in person with his army.

But now that he saw the scene inside Zhang Wu's stronghold, he couldn't help but panic. But when he thought about it again, the soldiers he led were the most elite troops in Gongsun Zan's hands. Even the two thousand cavalry were Gongsun Zan's white-horse followers. No matter what appeared,

Unexpectedly, I should be able to solve it with my own military strength. Even if I can't solve it, Gongsun Zan's army will arrive later and there will be no loopholes.

Yan Gang led everyone in a carriage and entered the Zhangwu stronghold. At this time, the receptionist suddenly came to Yan Gang and asked.

"Sir Yan, I heard rumors that Jihou has no money to buy food, grass and weapons and wants to capture my Zhangwu stronghold. Is this true?" the receptionist asked in a low voice.

"How is it possible? Didn't I send all the money? Where's Mr. Wang? The money has arrived. Is it time to look at the food and weapons? After the transaction is completed, I have to go back and restore Jihou." Yan Gang said.

"But I don't believe it. Mr. Yan, could you let me see if there is any money in this carriage?" the receptionist said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Yan Gang felt that something was wrong with the receptionist.

"As I said just now, I want to introduce someone to Mr. Yan. I wonder if Mr. Yan knows him." After the receptionist finished speaking, a group of soldiers came out of an alley.

"Zhou Tai, why are you here?" Yan Gang was surprised when he saw Zhou Tai. He also wanted to arrest Wang Jinyong and ask Zhou Tai for ransom. However, Wang Jinyong and other members of Qilin Trading Company did not catch him, but Zhou Tai showed up.

"Master Yan, long time no see! I heard that Jihou wanted to buy weapons and food. I was afraid that others would not do a good job, so I went there myself." Zhou Tai looked at Yan Gang and said.

Yan Gang didn't know how to answer. His soldiers were already anxious. Many of their hands were already on their weapons, and the elites on the carriages were also ready. As long as Yan Gang gave the order, they would be released from being wrapped in cloth.

came out of the carriage.

"The guards brought by Mr. Yan today seem to be very careful. When we arrive at the base of our Qilin Trading Company, we shouldn't be too careful!" Zhou Tai said, and countless figures suddenly appeared on the walls of the stronghold, above the roofs of some of the stronghold's pavilions.

Thousands of archers are already in place.

A group of elite infantrymen came out of an alley and stood behind Zhou Tai with their shields raised. They seemed to be no less elite than Yan Gang's soldiers.

Yan Gang had followed Gongsun Zan in battles for more than ten years and could estimate the enemy's strength at a glance.

Judging from the opponent's equipment, there are about 20,000 troops surrounding him in this Zhangwu stronghold, among which the elite must exceed 10,000. In addition, the opponent's archers have already occupied favorable terrain. If he takes action at this time, it will definitely not be Zhou Tai.

opponent.

Zhou Tai's strength was no worse than Gongsun Zan's, to be exact, he was much stronger. At this time, Yan Gang knew that his intention had been seen through by the other party.

"Captain Zhou, what do you mean?" Yan Gang looked at Zhou Tai and asked.

"It doesn't mean anything. Our Qilin Trading Company has a guaranteed reputation for so many years. At least it has a much better reputation than Jihou. If you want to trade with us, you have to pay for it. Today I will watch you take out all the money. We will hand over the money in one hand and the other in the other hand."

Delivery." Zhou Tai said.

Many soldiers behind Yan Gang had begun to tremble. They knew that the enemy's plan had been seen through, and the enemy had actually prepared such a large army and was waiting for them.
