Three Kingdoms: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun are Summoned at the Start

Chapter 764 Jiangling, Zhang Lao!

On the city wall of Gangneung, the soldiers cheered and excited.

The menacing Cao army had been showing off their might outside the city for several days, but Shangguan never let them go out of the city to meet the enemy, which made every soldier’s heart clouded, but today Cao army’s first attack was so easily defeated by them. If you give up, what are you afraid of?

The so-called one hit, and then decline, three exhausted. Now that you have blocked it for the first time, do you still need to be afraid of subsequent attacks?

“Commander, you still think too highly of Cao Ren. This man is not as powerful as he imagined, but he is just an ordinary general, and there is no surprise in the attack. Although the soldiers under his command have advanced and retreated, and their will is firm, they are like this. How could a reckless attack take Jiangling City?

“Cao Cao’s wishful thinking is going to fail this time!!” Huang Zhong looked at the large camp of Cao Cao in the distance and said rather proudly.

After he finished speaking, he didn’t see Wen Pin open his mouth. He turned his head curiously. Seeing Wen Pin’s thoughtful expression, he could not help but pat Wen Pin’s shoulder and said, “Master, handsome!!”

“Um?

“What did you just say?” Wen Pin asked with a frown.

Huang Zhong said: “Commander 23, what are you still worried about? Obviously we have already repelled the enemy’s attack, this Cao army is not as powerful as you think, so what else do you need to worry about?”

Wen Pin frowned and said: “I was very happy to defeat Cao Jun just now, but then I think about it, this is the combat strength of Cao Jun, and this is Cao Ren’s offensive strength?”

“It was so easily blocked by us, even from the beginning to the end, their damage was not too big, why didn’t he continue to attack?”

“What is the purpose of his temptation this time? Is he trying to find out what’s going on with us?”

A series of questions threw out Huang Zhong directly, and he scratched his head: “Commander, how do you know that Cao Ren is a tentative attack? I see that he has dispatched a lot of people, and these people’s combat effectiveness is not weak. .

“What is he trying to test next? What can he test out?”

“In my opinion, the commander still thinks too much. Although Cao Jun’s combat effectiveness is good, our soldiers are not vegetarians. Why should we think so much when soldiers come to block them?”

Regarding Huang Zhong’s words, although Wen Pin disagreed in his heart, he did not continue to argue with him, but looked at Cao Ying with more doubts.

In the city, in the Anlefang.

This square is the center of the gathering of aristocratic families in Jiangling City, and all the people here are powerful and powerful.

However, all the families in the past few days were a little uneasy, and even said that they had some headaches.

Jiangling City’s order to seal the city shut down all their businesses in the city. Not only could they not make any money, but they also needed to provide tens of thousands of troops with daily food and grass.

The business that only loses but does not make a profit naturally makes these families very unhappy, and they don’t know how many times they have scolded Wen Pin and Liu Biao in their hearts.

But apart from cursing behind their backs, they didn’t dare to do anything out of the ordinary. After all, tens of thousands of soldiers did not seem to agree.

Precisely because they did not dare to show their faces, An Lefang has been quiet since a few days ago, and almost everyone stayed at home.

But today, quite a few noble families in Anlefang began to move around frequently, giving each other gifts and treats, as if they were getting better.

In a two-story building on the corner of the street, the soldiers who were watching were also curious about this.

One of the younger soldiers saw that the carts and carts were being delivered to the Zhang family. He was envious in his heart and couldn’t help but say: “This is the eighteenth group of people who gave gifts, and I don’t know how to respond today. All of them came to Zhang’s house, and all of them were pulling carts and carts, it was really a sight!”5

A slightly older soldier next to him smiled and said, “You don’t know this, right? The Zhang family is the first family in Jiangling City, and half of the business in the city is related to his family. Do you think the rest of the people can not curry favor with his family?

“If you are in business, you must also want to have a relationship with them. As long as you can receive the business that leaked from his hands, you will definitely not worry about eating and drinking in this life!”

“Really? So those who gave gifts wanted to come and cooperate with the Zhang family?

“Of course it is!”

“Let me tell you one more piece of news, half of our army’s rations are provided by the Zhang family, how much do you think the state shepherd owes him? That’s why we keep our eyes on his family, but don’t act rashly, otherwise we will count Brother Wan is going to be hungry!!

“what!!

“This home is really amazing!!”

Because of the special nature of the Zhang family, although the soldiers under surveillance reported the excitement of the Zhang family to Shangguan, they did not pay attention at all, or no one dared to pay attention.

In the hall of Zhang’s backyard.

About twenty people were sitting in the hall, and there was an old man with white hair in the center. Although he was not young, he was tough, and his eyes gleamed from time to time, making people not dare to underestimate him.

“Elder Zhang, today we are gathered here to listen to your advice. Now everyone is here. If Elder Zhang has any orders, we will never give up!!””

“Yes, yes! Our Jiangling City is so prosperous because of Mr. Zhang.

The praise of the people below made Zhang Lao sitting in the center without a trace of emotional fluctuations.

Perhaps it was because he often heard compliments, and he was immune to it for a long time, but the feeling of being surrounded by twenty or so people still made Old Zhang extremely enjoy.

He knocked on the crutches in his hand and said with a smile: “Everyone doesn’t have to be polite, and you don’t have to say so many polite words, I came here today to discuss a major matter about my Jiangling City.

“I’ve been thinking about this for many days, and I still can’t make a decision. Recently, I finally made a decision. I asked everyone to come and listen to your opinions!

As soon as this statement came out, the people present laughed and said: “Elder Zhang is too polite, if you have anything, just order it!!”

Zhang Lao nodded: “In the past few days, the city has been closed, and all the large and small businesses have stopped. Everyone must be clear, and everyone can feel the loss caused to our families.”

473 “To let everyone come here today is to tell you that the state shepherd has given the power to General Wenpin, and General Wenpin also clearly explained to me that if Cao Jun does not retreat for a day, this ban will not last a day. take back.

“We were able to gather together today because I specifically applied to Lord Zhou Mu, otherwise the soldiers who were watching outside would have swarmed over.

After these words, many people present frowned directly.

The ban caused heavy losses to every family. They were worried about it all the time, thinking about how to solve it. They thought that Mr. Zhang would be able to get Liu Biao to lift the ban, but he did not expect Mr. Zhang to fail.

This also means that no one in the entire Gangneung City can change the ban.

Thinking of how long the war will last, everyone’s scalp is numb, and they dare not think about it.

“Elder Zhang, you are the pillar of our Jiangling City. You must take care of this matter. If we really fought a war for a year or two, would we all stay at home? We don’t want any business?”

“Yeah! Our family has a big business, how can we be so tossed?”

“Mr. Zhang, why don’t you discuss with Lord Zhou Mu, let him open the door and leave us a way out!”

“Grandma, if they really want to kill them all, we don’t have any rations, let’s see how they fight and how they fight!!

The noisy sound in the hall became one, and everyone opened their mouths to express their inner dissatisfaction.
