"Look at the gun!" Zhao Yun yelled, and he leaped straight towards Zhang Liao with his gun drawn. He saw Zhao Yun's gentian bright silver gun flying up and down like a silver dragon. Zhao Yun's gun also has a name called Yajiao Gun. It was obtained by Zhang Liao. The meaning of Tianya Haijiao Wushuang is that the Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear I learned is so fast. Although Zhao Yun is young, he is extremely powerful. Most people can't stop this spear thrust. Cheng Feng watched with horror, "This Zhao Zilong is so evil, he has already started to create his own marksmanship!" Because he found that Zhao Yun's marksmanship had deviated from the original routine and had new changes. Zhao Yun could stab three times with one leap of his horse, and now he could stab five times. This is a competition, and he must not be able to exert his full strength. I really don’t know how strong this guy is! Just when Cheng Feng was frightened, he saw Zhang Liao swipe the divine dragon hook sickle in his hand and move forward. His strength worked wonders, and he blocked multiple shots in a row. Seeing Zhao Yun's three-fold spear stabbing him, he was really shocked. There was no way to block it, so I could only hold the knife in my right hand and push it forward. I took out the Wentian Spear in my left hand and stabbed Zhao Yun. It's not polite to come back without reciprocating. This is a move of exchanging lives for lives. Zhao Yun was quick with his spear. He twisted his arms left and right and used force to speed up his speed by twice. He thrust out seven spears in an instant. He roared "Seven Exploration Snake Discs" and directly picked Zhang Liao's sword and spear to both sides, and knocked down lightly with one shot. The tassel on Zhang Liao's helmet.
"Okay! Okay! What a great marksmanship. Little brother Zilong is really superb in martial arts!" Zhang Liao laughed in admiration.
"General Zhang should be merciful. Zhao Yun is young, so please give me some advice from General Zhang!" Zhao Yun said quickly.
"You two, please stop being so polite. You two are both considered to be the best generals in the world." Cheng Feng interrupted the two of them and said, "However, you can't just rely on personal force to fight in battle. I taught you the military books. How's it going?"
"I've memorized it all, but I still haven't used it properly." Zhao Yun stuck out his tongue and said with a guilty conscience,
"Zilong, don't worry. There are plenty of opportunities for us to train our troops. Next time we go out, can't we just use them more?" Zhang Liao also said with a smile.
"By the way, brother. It's strange to say that we have intercepted so many things from the Taiping Sect. Why are they not on guard yet? Didn't they find that the supplies were robbed?" Zhao Yun suddenly asked
"Haha, of course they know, haven't you noticed that they are transporting less and less things now!" Cheng Feng said with a smile, "Zhang Jiao is a person who wants to do big things. The supplies he gave us were just a drop in the bucket. What we intercepted were all It's gold and silver, mostly herbs, but not much food and grass. It doesn't matter to his great cause. Furthermore, I think he must know our situation, and he doesn't dare to fight us head-on now, but if Zhang Jiao once If you rebel, I’m afraid we will be the first to deal with you!”
"My lord, what you said makes sense!" Tian Yu was walking in a suit of armor from afar, and happened to hear Cheng Feng's words.
"Oh, Mr. Tian!" Zhao Yun was surprised. Why is Tian Yu also wearing armor? Isn't he a civil servant? I'm still a little confused
"Haha, Zilong doesn't know something. Mr. Tian Yu is good at both civil and military skills!" Zhang Liao explained, and Cheng Feng also nodded in agreement, because although Tian Yu's martial arts is not among the top ranks, he can be considered among the first-class generals, and more importantly What's more, Tian Yu is not only a general, but also a handsome man! Back then, Cao Cao was able to fight against Liu Bei and Sun Quan in various ways. The rear area was completely protected by Tian Yu, and the nomadic people in the north were kept docile by him!
"That's right. Zilong, you can usually ask Mr. Tian for advice on the art of war. He is a rare talent!" Cheng Feng said, "By the way, why is Guorang here!" Cheng Feng asked. Because at this time Tian Yu should be distributing land and making farm tools and weapons!
"Haha, isn't that why?" Tian Yu smiled and pointed at the armor on his body.
"Is this the newly made armor?" Zhang Liao asked in surprise.
"Not bad! In the past two months, the two generals have intercepted a large amount of copper and iron. I have sent people to sort them all. Today is the first day to build armor. This is the first pair," Tian Yu said with a smile.
Cheng Feng quickly thought about the types of armor at this time, and found that there were more than a dozen types. Fortunately, he remembered a few of the more famous ones, and quickly said, "Let's do this. The general will make a set of chain armor, and add one on the outside." To wear bright armor, the soldiers should choose the strong ones to wear black armor, and the others should look at their physical fitness and wear fish scale armor or double armor! We will also make three thousand horse armors and five hundred pairs of heavy armors. I want to make light and heavy cavalry!"
"Yes, lord! It's just that this cavalry is a waste of money. To build these, we still don't have enough iron!" Tian Yu was a little worried, fearing that Cheng Feng would get crazy and instead of making farm equipment, he would make weapons and armor instead!
"It doesn't matter, Wu Tiangang has sent news that another convoy from the Taiping Religion has arrived. Let's go and see what the transport captain has sent us in the next few days!" Cheng Feng laughed and said, it looked so wretched, Zhao Yun suddenly looked at it. I wanted to punch him, he was smiling so cheaply!
"Come, come, come, let's watch you two compete. My hands are itching. Let's fight again." Cheng Feng sent Tian Yu away and pulled Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao along.
Zhang Liao just looked at him and shook his head, thinking that you can also fight? With your size, it looks like you'll have to calm down a little bit! Zhao Yun seemed to know what Zhang Liao was thinking, and while Cheng Feng was getting his weapons, he said, "General Zhang, don't underestimate my elder brother. His martial arts skills are no less than mine!"
"What? My lord." Zhang Liao was really shocked this time, because based on his understanding, Zhao Yun would not lie! Zhao Yun smiled and nodded, agreeing with Zhang Liao's opinion.
"Be careful, I'm coming." Cheng Feng roared, and he took turns attacking Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao with his halberd. He actually regarded both of them as targets. An expert would know if there was anyone there as soon as he made a move. In this fight, Zhang Liao was Knowing that he had underestimated this harmless lord, he looked at him with a smile, but after this fight, he seemed to be a different person. Cheng Feng danced the Yanlong Zhantian Halberd like a tiger with great force, and swung it with great force, like the autumn wind blowing fallen leaves, forcing Zhang Liao to confront him head-on. Less than twenty times, Zhang Liao's hands were a little numb, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, the people you use the halberd to win are all animals. This strength and martial arts are beyond ordinary people. Just now, I dared to touch Zhao Yun's spear head-on. It was because of the gentian The spear is lighter than his sword, so he has an advantage, but when he encounters this halberd, he becomes a disadvantage because the sword is not flexible!" Looking at Zhao Yun again, he defended dozens of moves. Seeing that Zhang Liao was about to lose, he changed his defense to offense. It was really a big fight. All kinds of counterattacks appeared between the two of them, which only made Zhang Liao jump. "This Zhao Zilong just left a lot of backhands! It seems that the relationship between himself and the two of them is There is still a lot of difference!" Unknowingly, the two of them fought for fifty rounds, and Zhang Liao also joined in. The three of them fought hard, and the soldiers on the martial arts field were mesmerized! Until the end, Zhang Liao still felt like he was dreaming. The two young men were too strong, and they respected Cheng Feng even more! This move was out of control. Whenever they had time, the three of them would compete with each other. Sometimes Tian Yu would come to join in the fun. Over the next few days, the three of them got to know each other better. Their martial arts skills were also growing day by day, especially Zhang Liao. But with rapid improvement, Zhao Yun is the master of both swords and swords, while Zhang Liao is the master of both swords and guns! In the constant discussion between several people, Cheng Feng finally received the news.
"Come on, let's take a look. News came from Tian Gang this time that Zhang Jiao's transportation team will not go through Changshan, but go to Anping in the east, and then enter Julu. Each time, dozens of trucks of less important supplies will be separated. , walking through Changshan is considered as buying our tolls! This time Tian Gang found that there were 500 carts of grain and grass. Let’s see how we do it!” Cheng Feng said excitedly
"Five hundred cars?" Zhao Yun exclaimed, "Why are there so many? Is there a scam?" Then he asked worriedly.
"Well, it's possible," Tian Yu said, "I wonder if there is a convoy passing through Changshan this time."
"No," Cheng Feng frowned, "but there are many people transported this time. There are 3,000 people in 500 cars!"
"It's a scam!" Zhao Yun said, "Brother, think about it, it's freezing cold here, where did he get so much food? Even if it was stored early, why didn't he transport it earlier? And the giant deer is not short of food and grass. We We only intercepted the supplies in the direction of Changshan. We didn't touch those in other directions. Besides, with 500 vehicles and 3,000 men, Zhang Jiao wouldn't be unaware of our strength, but with such a small number of men, he wouldn't be afraid of us. Are you really going to force yourself? So he is just luring us there!"
"It makes sense," Zhang Liao said, "but if it is really food and grass, it would be wasted if we don't go. With our current military strength, even if there is an ambush, the Taiping Religion doesn't have any decent soldiers?" Zhang Liao was a little unwilling. 's added
Seeing the two people arguing, Cheng Feng was a little unsure. After all, he couldn't afford to lose now! Although Zhangjiao's congregation is all a mob, they are afraid of the large number of people. Since Zhang Jiao wanted to rebel, he would not fail to train and prepare. If you confront someone head-on now, it will be very detrimental to your future development! "Guorang. What do you think?" Cheng Feng looked at Tian Yu and said
"Haha, my lord, are we in short supply of food and grass now?" Tian Yu asked in return.
"Huh?" Cheng Feng's eyes lit up, "Haha. Yes, we are not short of food and grass, but we are short of iron!"
"What do you mean? I'm not going this time?" Zhang Liao wondered.
"No, I want to go," Tian Yu said
"Going?" Not only Zhao Yun, but also Cheng Feng looked at Tian Yu with confusion.
"Lord, why do we let each other lead us by the nose? You know, it's not just us who are eyeing Zhang Jiao's fat piece of meat, there are also major families. As far as I know, the Zhen family in Yecheng is also there. Steal their things. There are many wealthy families in Jizhou who are also related to the Taiping Religion. If they know this news, how can they have no idea? My lord can spread the news and these grains and grass will become a hot potato." Tian Yu said with a smile.
"Well, that's a good idea." Cheng Feng said with a smile.
"If there is really food and fodder, Zhang Jiao will definitely send someone to pick it up, or speed up the advance. If we want to grab it then, there will definitely be a chance. Even if there is an ambush and support, but on this road, we have the final say where to grab it. , if there is no food and grass, Zhang Jiao must be conspiring with others. Keep an eye on Julu by then, and there will definitely be news leaked!" Tian Yu continued
"Then we just wait for news?" Zhang Liao was puzzled.
"No! No matter what, we won't move these cars. We will only release the news. Regardless of whether it is true or false, he will have to show off. Then he will do more research and try to find a place where they store food. I think there must be a lot of supplies in it. !" Tian Yu couldn't help but laugh at the end.
"Report! Mr. Wu Tiangang asks for an audience."
"Come in!"
"I've met my lord and several adults."
"Okay, don't be polite, why are you back?" Cheng Feng asked
"Back to my lord, a hundred vehicles were also found in Zhao County. They seemed to be transporting herbs and grain, and the number of people was also three thousand."
"Well, that's it," Cheng Feng decided, "Tiangang, quickly go and keep an eye on those five hundred cars, spread more news along the way, and try to find out where they are stored!"
"Yes" Wu Tiangang saluted and immediately went to Anping!
"Why did the elder brother take action against this team?" Zhao Yun was a little confused.
"Haha, for the medicinal herbs! Zilong, take three thousand cavalry with you. Remember, don't kill, escort first in the name of the court. If this is Zhang Jiao's trick, I don't think he would dare to attack and kill the officers and soldiers in public. . Wen Yuan will lead another three thousand elite soldiers and lurk nearby. Remember not to be discovered. If it is confirmed to be real supplies, just transport them back and let them go. If they are fake supplies, just find an excuse to leave. Anyway, the cavalry Go fast!" Cheng Feng ordered
"Yes!" the two responded
I don't know when, the whole Jizhou was spreading rumors about Julu's wealth. It was said that the land was full of gold and there were granaries everywhere. Every day, hundreds of people came to Julu in a convoy to deliver things, which suddenly pushed Julu to the top. On the cusp of the storm. At this time, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao easily brought back hundreds of taxis for Cheng Feng. Regardless of how they arranged it, Zhang Jiao was furious in Julu City. "It's really unreasonable. This little Changshan County Sheriff actually He was too ignorant and robbed so many things from us, so I just tolerated it, and now it is getting more and more excessive."
"Brother, I have said before that they are just a bunch of unfamiliar dogs, and you still give them dozens of cars to pay for their travel expenses every time. Now, people's appetites are getting bigger and bigger! Now there is news about us With the rumors about Julu, it seems that our life is not easy either!" Zhang Liang also complained.
"Brother, don't worry. It doesn't matter if Cheng Feng robs our things. Anyway, we have accumulated enough supplies. Even if we don't have troops, it will be enough for our Taiping Cult to enjoy for several lifetimes. So there is no need to worry. We will deliver it as usual in the future. , Just don’t enter Julu, we just need to stay away from Changshan!" Zhang Bao said slowly
"Away? Where to go?" Zhang Liang asked
"Yecheng, and Peiguodong County," Zhang Bao said
"Oh! It seems that the second brother has already made a plan. Let's talk about it." Zhang Jiao also became interested.
"After all, Julu is a small town. No matter whether we start an uprising in the future or not, it will restrict our development. The main city of Jizhou, Yecheng, is a well-known big city in the country. It is not far from us. There are many wealthy businessmen in the city and a large population. It is very suitable for us to preach. In addition, there is the Zhen family in the city, a huge merchant in the entire Han Dynasty. We can pretend to be their caravan to transport supplies. As for Dongjun, it is not far from Chenliu and Luoyang, and it is controlled by the imperial court. , I don’t think there are so many people who dare to challenge the authority of the imperial court. We can hoard a large amount of food and develop believers. Coupled with the internal support from the capital, we can develop steadily for a period of time. If we really raise an army in the future, we can quickly win over the team in Dongjun. , capture Luoyang directly and occupy the favorable location first!" After Zhang Bao's words, the two men nodded repeatedly.
"What about our giant deer? Just ignore it?" Zhang Liang was still a little worried.
"Julu will continue to develop. We can do whatever we have to do. We can rely on the supplies we have hoarded now. We only need to occasionally transport some insignificant things in exchange for Cheng Feng's time. Once we raise our troops, we must attack Changshan first!" Zhang Bao said it with cold murderous intent at the end
"Second brother's plan is good. Now we only have supplies. Although there are many believers, most of them are poor people and some bandits. They have not yet formed effective fighting power. It is not possible to start a rebellion rashly. We need a carving machine to develop a large number of believers. When the people of the world When everyone is a believer for me, does it matter whether we start a fight or not?" Zhang Jiao also laughed.
"How can we develop so well? We are only developing in poor areas. Look at those big cities that are not easy to penetrate at all." Zhang Liang looked helpless. To put it bluntly, the Taiping Sect was to deceive the people. In the beginning, it was indeed for the people. For your own sake, but now people’s lives are pretty good, who would join the religion?
"Isn't there a chance now?" Zhang Bao said mysteriously. This aroused the interest of the two of them again, and they quickly urged him to continue, "No matter who pushes our giant deer out this time, let the whole Jizhou know about us. If you are rich, then we will build tents to store grain. Anyway, we have plenty of grain. As long as people come to Julu, those who are members of the Taiping Cult like me are our brothers. If we give money and grain, are we still afraid that there will be no followers? We can Take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously develop believers and strive to have believers all over Kyushu."
"Well, yes, yes!" Zhang Jiao made up his mind, "That's it, I don't believe that everyone can resist the temptation!"
Zhang Jiao's response was extremely fast. For a time, the reputation of the Taiping Sect became famous, and the number of followers increased day by day. Zhang Jiao secretly accumulated supplies in Yecheng and Dongjun, and managed the congregation. He selected 36 confidants to establish the 36th Party, and sent out subordinates. Go to various places to organize believers. The task given to them is that the core members of each party should not be less than 5,000 people. As for the peripheral members, the more the better! Zhang Jiao's actions directly brought disastrous consequences to Cheng Feng. Due to Zhang Jiao's opening of warehouses to distribute grain and provide relief to the believers, a large number of people near Julu joined the church. Even Changshan City was suddenly in a state of storm. Countless people wanted to join the church. After all, they didn't have to pay anything to join the church. If you teach, you can get food, gold and silver. This kind of thing happens only once in thousands of years. Many people try their best to sneak out of the city and join the religion. This makes Cheng Feng at a loss and doesn't know what to do!
"Zhang Jue's move is too cruel. Isn't it going to destroy us from the foundation?" Han Yong said anxiously.
"Yes, I didn't expect him to be so courageous! This really caught us off guard!" Tian Yu also said with a bitter smile.
"Nowadays, the people's hearts in the city are unpredictable. There are constant rumors and rumors. Even the military's morale is unstable. If this continues, it might not be good if we continue to suppress them!" Zhang Liao's words were like a sledgehammer hitting Chengdu. In terms of heart, yes, if the morale of the army is not stable, how can we fight a war or conquer cities and territories?
"Brother, don't worry, I have a way, I don't know if it will work!" Zhao Yun said when everyone was frowning.
"Oh! Zilong, tell me quickly, don't hide it!" Cheng Feng said quickly as if he saw a life-saving straw.
"That is to say, open the city gates and military camps, and clearly tell the people in the city and the military officers that anyone who wants to join the religion can do so, but as long as they join the religion, they must move out of Changshan City. From now on, they will no longer be people from Changshan City, and all our policies will not enjoy!"
Zhao Yun said solemnly, he was also a little unsure, fearing that the consequences would be too serious!
"Hiss!" Several people gasped. If Zhao Yun really dares to think about it, isn't he afraid of destroying Changshan City now? However, Tian Yu turned around and thought about it, but it was not for a solution!
"Here, what will happen if all the staff are gone?" Han Yong asked a little worriedly
"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Han, it won't happen. I think everyone knows who the Taiping Cultists are. Even the common people know a lot about it. There are still many people in our city who have been persecuted by them. These people are not They can walk. Besides, we have given them the land. This land is their foundation. As long as they are not stupid, they can distinguish the importance. If someone really joins the religion for this little temptation, they will leave. Chang Shan, this kind of person is also unreliable!" Tian Yu explained for Zhao Yun
"Yes! This is just like Dayu's control of floods. It is better to block the floods than to clear them. Only by letting the people understand the pros and cons! I think they will have some dormitories. If we really take advantage of this time and get rid of some people, then the rest will be We are truly trustworthy people!" Zhao Yundao
"Yeah! Just do it according to Zilong's method!" Cheng Feng made up his mind! "In a moment, I will inform the entire city's soldiers and civilians that they can leave if they want, and stay if they want to stay. But as long as they leave, the land must be taken back and distributed to those who stay. It is particularly important to emphasize that as long as one person in the family enters Teacher, the whole family has to leave! When the time comes, you will count the people left behind and redistribute the land!" After finishing speaking, Feng seemed to be exhausted, waving his hands to tell them to leave.
"Yes!" Several people retreated.
"It's really a headache!" After a few people left, Cheng Feng muttered while pressing his temples, "This Zhang Jiao is really powerful, but you cannibalize the people like this. I think other aristocratic families and various counties are enfeoffed. The guards will not be indifferent!" As Cheng Feng expected, Zhang Jiao's action was like throwing a torch on the dry firewood, causing a series of reactions. Each county guard had different ways to deal with it, but he still couldn't resist the personnel. After joining the religion, Zhang Jiao won the game. Chengfeng's Changshan County has not lost much personnel because the policies are so good. Even if some people don't understand the twists and turns, the people around them do. Plus some support arranged by Chengfeng, this is a little bit , just dial it, and you will understand which end is heavier and which end is lighter. Only more than a thousand old people came to say goodbye to Chengfeng, knelt down to thank him for his great kindness, and then went to join the religion. The people in the same county tried hard to persuade him, but the old people said that they were old and did not want to cause trouble to others in the city, and did not want to eat the food cultivated by everyone in vain! Cheng Feng also repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but he left in the end, which made Cheng Feng sigh with emotion, "Yan and Zhao are so righteous! Although these old people are older, they still have a narrow sense of spirit!" This was just something Cheng Feng didn't expect. Yes, dozens of days later, this group of people came back with dozens of carts of grain, grass, gold and silver, and Cheng Feng looked confused.
"Master Prefect, although we are old and frail, we still brought these dozens of carts of supplies for you!" An old man saluted Chengfeng.
"Dear blind daters, why do you have to be like this!" Cheng Feng burst into tears at that time. He led everyone into the city and talked all the way. He understood in his heart and was a little moved. It turned out that these old people felt that they had been so favored by Cheng Feng and always wanted to They wanted to do something for the prefect, but they were too old and weak to contribute, but this time Zhang Jiao's actions made them see a glimmer of opportunity. Wasn't this just an opportunity to join the cult and get back a batch of supplies! At the same time, Chengfeng also respected the land of Yanzhao even more! The ancients still talked about faith. Even though the sun is setting, it can still shine!
As soon as this incident came out, it quickly spread all over the world, and Zhang Jiao became the joke of those aristocratic families. "Haha, this Cheng Feng is really interesting. Now Zhang Jiao has stolen the chicken but lost the rice!" "I have to pay for it, Madam. We are losing our troops again." These words reached the ears of Zhang Jiao and others. It was extremely ironic. The wealthy families also began to follow suit. Within a few months, they took away some supplies from Zhang Jiao for nothing!
"This is really unreasonable!" Zhang Jiao said angrily.
"Brother, there is no need to be angry. Even if they cheat me, it doesn't matter. We believers have developed, and now there are more than 300,000 core believers. We only need to endure it for a while, and then it will be time for them to cry!" Zhang Bao advised
"That's all we can do! Alas" Zhang Jiao sighed
