Chapter 44, Bankrupt local tycoon Zhang

Guangzong, Xicheng Gate.

The bright moon hangs high, and the night is quiet.

At this moment, a loud voice sounded, followed by a cry of killing that resounded through the sky.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

On the city wall, countless yellow scarf soldiers were awakened from their sleep. They instinctively picked up the crossbows and spears beside them, and at the same time rubbed their eyelids vigorously to quickly wake up.

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps...

Just when the siege army was about to enter the range of the crossbows, they stopped in unison as if they had been trained in advance, and then the rear army turned into the front army, retreating like a tide.

Seeing this situation on the city tower, the Yellow Turban soldiers looked at each other one after another, all confused.

The attack and defense between the enemy and ourselves has been going on for more than half a month, and this is the first time we have seen this kind of situation where we rushed back halfway and then retreated.

With full of doubts, all the soldiers put down their weapons one after another and continued to lean on the city wall and fell asleep.

Everyone is very tired.

However, only less than half an hour passed.

"kill……"

The sound of war drums and shouts of death rang out again, and the soldiers who had just fallen asleep were awakened again, staring intently at the approaching enemy troops.

"Are you joking again?" A soldier couldn't help but said, and his colleagues around him looked at him.

I guessed it right, but unfortunately I didn’t get a reward.

"What kind of tricks are the officers and soldiers playing?" a grumpy strong man said angrily. Compared with this kind of teasing from time to time, he would rather fight directly.

But the initiative was not with them. Zhang Liang repeatedly stated sternly that no one was allowed to fight, and anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed.

"what happened?"

Zhang Liang appeared at the top of the city. He heard the sudden noise of the army attacking the city in the middle of the night, but it quickly subsided, so he came to inspect it.

There was deep tiredness in his eyes, a little confused in his heart, and his face was full of vicissitudes of life. This was his current state, exhausted both physically and mentally.

The eldest brother and the second brother died in battle one after another, leaving him alone and unable to support himself. There was only one thought left in his mind, to fight to the death. Even if he lost, he would disturb the peace of the court.

"Reporting to General Renggong, the officers and soldiers suddenly took advantage of the night twice, but they retreated before they even got close."

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhang Liang pondered for a moment: "Be sure to be vigilant. This may be a feint attack by the army, and then they may suddenly launch a strong attack."

"The general will obey your orders!"

——

At dawn, Sun Jian returned to the camp with his troops. It was his men who were in charge of the attack strategy last night.

Everyone has a look of exhaustion on their faces. Feinting is also a strenuous job. The only difference is that you don't need to really fight.

Guo Jia and Liu Bei also happened to lead their troops back to camp, and the two sides met unexpectedly.

The two sides were in a cooperative relationship. Sun Jian's troops were responsible for the feint attack, while Liu Bei led his troops to respond and strictly prevented the Yellow Turban Army from escaping the city when Sun Jian withdrew.

"The strategy of the military advisor is too bad. There has been such a fuss all night. The yellow scarf thieves in the city today may not be able to open their eyes." Zhang Fei saw the listless looks of the soldiers under Sun Jian's command and couldn't help but complain about Guo Jia.

The insidiousness of the plan.

It doesn't matter if they are tired, at least they can come back and sleep.

The same cannot be said for the enemy troops in the city. They have not realized this strategy yet and most likely have not started taking turns to change defenses.

If he were the one guarding the city, he would probably be so angry that he would kill him.

"Are Yide calling me treacherous?"

"No, no, I'm praising the military advisor."

Zhang Fei waved his hands hurriedly and backed away.

He is so fierce that he is not even afraid of the king of beasts in the mountains, but he is afraid of the scholar in front of him who has no power to restrain a chicken.

The other party's gaze seemed malicious, and Zhang Fei couldn't help but be frightened, fearing that his other half of the family property would be taken into account again.

Guo Jia suddenly looked at Liu Bei and asked, "My lord, how much money and food do we have left for our army?"

Liu Bei thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there aren't many left."

Although they received a sum of money from Kong Rong, and later received a large sum of funding after he successfully recruited Mi Zhu, the treasury was nearly exhausted as the army expanded by two thousand, a number of weapons were purchased, and soldiers' salaries were distributed.

Guo Jia's face changed slightly: "This is difficult."

"Why?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

Guo Jia sighed: "As far as I know, the angels from the imperial court are coming to reward the army in the next few days. If we cannot raise a sum of money in time, I am afraid that many of our plans will be in vain."

Liu Bei just wanted to say: Didn't you say before that you would wait until the Yellow Turban Rebellion was over before going to the capital in person to handle this matter?

Because of this plan, he and Mi Zhu agreed that the next batch of funding would not arrive for another month.

But he immediately noticed that Guo Jia was winking at him, and he immediately understood and knew that the other party was trying to punish his third brother.

Should I cooperate? Still cooperate!

Liu Bei's face changed instantly, showing a lost expression.

"My destiny is not mine, what can I do?"

After saying that, he dragged his weak body towards the camp.

Guo Jia secretly admired that Uncle Liu Huang had never let him down in this regard.

"Don't worry, brother, I still have a fortune, which I think is enough to bribe the angel." Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

The love between the three brothers is as deep as the sea. How can it be compared with such worldly things as money.

The only regret is that he changed from a powerful person to a commoner.

bankrupted!

Liu Bei said in a deep voice: "How can I ask for Yide's family assets again? This is absolutely impossible."

"Brother, you are looking down on me, Zhang Yide!"

"how do I say this?"

"The love between our three brothers is as deep as the ocean, how can it be measured by money?"

"I……"

Liu Bei was speechless for a moment, and was filled with emotion in his heart. With brothers like this, why worry about failing to achieve great things?

Guan Yu nodded in agreement and said sternly: "Brother, don't refuse anymore. If we can make contributions in the future, the third brother will naturally make a fortune."

"If not, I'm afraid I won't be able to use the money."

Zhang Fei nodded and strode towards Guo Jia.

"Military advisor, please come with me."

"Have you thought about it?"

"It's just a common thing, why bother with it."

So the two of them left one after the other.

Liu Bei was messy in the wind, didn't he agree that he was just acting in a show?

You are serious!!!

Half an hour later, in Zhang Fei's camp, Guo Jia looked at a large box full of gold and was filled with emotion.

"Is this how Yi De always carries it with him?"

"Except for my ancestral home, all my other property has been sold."

After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Commentary, please take it away quickly. I think this thing is unlucky."

Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh, the three Taoyuan brothers really have a deep love for each other.

Guan Yun passed five passes and killed six generals.

Zhang Yide sold his property and vowed to follow him to death.

How many people have this kind of courage and friendship?

Guo Jia's original teasing intention disappeared in an instant. He clasped his hands and said from the bottom of his heart: "Jiahui proves that Yide's choice is right. In the future, it will not be a problem to be granted a title of homage. The Zhang family will surely be prominent for a while."

"Come here, carry the box."

"Here!"

After a while, Zhang Fei stared blankly at the box disappearing from sight and muttered.

"It's okay if it's gone. You don't have to get up and look at it from time to time in the middle of the night. You won't be blinded by it. You won't..."

He simply lay down on the bed, covering up his empty mood by sleeping.
