The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 363 Liu Bian Arrives, Sudden Distress

The walls of Taishan City still have traces of battles from the previous days, and the gate tower of the west gate was bombed and collapsed.Fortifications have begun to be built outside the city, which looks disorganized.

The defenders on the city wall were lazy, and they didn't look like they had won a battle.

Although he knew that Guo Huai could not suffer a lot of losses in Mount Tai, he saw with his own eyes that such a city full of loopholes and a mob defended it could make Guo Huai retreat.

After paying fifty cents to the gatekeeper at the city gate, several people entered the city smoothly.

The city was a desolate scene, there were no pedestrians on the streets, many houses hung white banners, Peng Duo plundered the city, and almost every family died under the knife of the rebels.

A group of armed rebels stopped the group in front of Liu Bian, and the leading rebel said, "Hey, they are dressed like dogs, they must be the children of rich families, come here, and arrest them."

As he said that, he was about to go forward and snatch the handle from that man's hand. He was a snitch before, with excellent eyesight, he could tell at a glance that the handle was worth thousands of dollars.

Lock them up if he likes, demand a ransom, and let them go.If he doesn't like it, he can kill them in the street, that's just a matter of words.

They are less panicked than you. The leading man slapped the little leader of the rebel army, and turned the little leader around in a circle.

The little boss drew a knife from his waist, and the rebels behind him also raised their guns.The little boss was about to get angry when the man said, "You're blind, even I want to snatch it."

After finishing speaking, he kicked him down again, stepped on his back and said, "I am Wang Fan, tell Peng Duo to come see me."

Hearing Wang Fan's name, Pan Jun's little boss repeatedly begged for mercy: "General Wang, I'm blind, I really didn't know it was your old man who drove here.

Otherwise, even if you lend me eight guts, I wouldn't dare to rob you. "

Pointing at the subordinates beside him, he cursed: "What are you doing there, wait for me to clean up. A bunch of bastards, why don't you invite General Peng?"

The two rebels hurriedly turned around and ran to inform Peng Duo to rescue their leader.

"Killing you, wouldn't it make me lower my status." After speaking, Wang Fan raised his foot and let the little leader of the rebel army stand up.

The little boss repeatedly apologized to Wang Fan, but Wang Fan ignored him.With his own guards, he entered the wine shop beside him.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Bian cast a questioning look at Song Ran.

Song Ran thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "It should be the Wang family of Langya, a real millennium family in Qingzhou. Different from Yan Shenggong's lineage, the ancestors of the Wang family once held the official position of Da Sikong in the Han Dynasty."

Liu Bian brought several people into the restaurant, sat down in a corner, and ordered some small dishes.

"Get out of the way, the general is here." There was a sound of horseshoes on the street, and some shouting and cursing were driving the crowd away.

Peng Duo led people into the house, cupped his hands and said to Wang Fan: "I have seen General Wang, Peng is very polite."

Wang Fan ignored him and continued to eat.Seeing Peng Duo approaching at other times, they all ran out of the house in a hurry.His reputation was very bad, he beat and scolded people at will, and if he was upset, he would lose his life.

No one dared to cause trouble for him, so the owner of the restaurant quickly ordered the waiter to ask the chef to prepare the dishes for him.

He didn't dare to neglect Peng Duo, otherwise his restaurant would have to be demolished by Peng Duo, or the whole family would die in Peng Duo's hands.

The boss is also a good person. Looking at Peng Duo's attitude towards Wang Fan, he is so respectful. Wang Fan's identity is definitely not simple.

He didn't dare to go forward, for fear that Peng Duo would lose face and vent his anger on him.

Liu Bian and the others looked at each other and followed the crowd out.Standing near the door, he really wanted to know the relationship between the Langya Wang family and the Qingzhou rebels.

The Wang family of Langya is flourishing in Qingzhou, and relying on the protection of their ancestors, they are the ones who led the smuggling of salt and iron by the Qingzhou aristocratic family this time.

"Go and go, I didn't see the generals talking inside. What are you going to do, and I'll kill you." A rebel pushed Song Ran, and continued: "Get out."

Although very angry, Song Ran didn't dare to get angry, and retreated resentfully: "I couldn't continue listening, I will find a way to grab my tongue and ask later."

Liu Bian nodded: "No hurry, let's find a place to live first."

All the inns in the city were closed, and Liu Bian and others rented a small courtyard for three liang of silver.The owner of the yard was killed by Peng Duo's men, leaving only a few servants to live there.

There was no shortage of furniture, but Peng Duo's men only robbed gold and silver, nothing else.

It can be seen that the original owner is also a scholar and has a lot of books at home.It's just a bit pitiful that Peng Duo killed him like this.

According to the servants, the original owner's name was Zhang Kai, who was well-known in Tai'an City.Peng Duo summoned him to be the chief bookkeeper, but Zhang Kai refused, so Peng Duo killed him and ransacked his home.Zhang Kai's wife and several young servant girls were also taken away by Peng Duo's men.

"Your Majesty, Wang Fan came to Mount Tai this time to receive firearms." Song Ran whispered.

"Where did you get the firearms? There are not many firearms in Taishan City, how can Peng Duo give them up?" Liu Bian asked.

Following Liu Bian into the house, Song Ran continued: "It is said that it was transported from the south, it may be the batch that was transported by the imperial court to Nanyang."

"We finally have news about that batch of firearms. Do you want to know anything?"

"The minister is incompetent. He only caught a small official. He doesn't know much. This is what Peng Duo said after drinking."

"Forget it, I don't blame you. When will Wang Fan leave?" Liu Bian asked.

"Leaving tomorrow, fifteen carriages, 200 guards."

"You protect the queen, Pang Kang'an and I will destroy these firearms."

Song Ran cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I will obey your Majesty's will."

After nightfall, Liu Bian took Pang Kang'an out of the roof, and took advantage of the darkness to head towards Wang Fan's place.

They didn't meet any patrolling rebels along the way, and the two rolled into the yard very easily.

"It's a musket and a machine gun." Pang Kang'an said as he opened a box.

Liu Bian nodded and said, "Blow them up, enough for them to drink a pot."

The two put the explosives separately, tied the fuze together, lit the fire and ran away.

"Boom boom boom" explosion sounded, and many bullets were detonated. The guards who rushed into the courtyard at the first time were shot and killed several people by the bullets fired in all directions.

Wang Fan, who was hiding behind the door, said angrily, "Is this what that idiot Peng Duo said about being safe?"

As he said that, he was about to rush out, he needed these firearms too much.The Langya Wang family has nearly a thousand private soldiers. The Wang family spent a lot of money to buy good horses from the Huns. Now they only need to wait for the firearms to be in place, and a strong team can be armed.

Now that the firearms are destroyed, what will he use to arm his private soldiers.

"General be careful!"

Several guards rushed towards Wang Fan while shouting, pinning him down.The explosion of the ammunition shook the wall down. If it weren't for several guards pressing him down, Wang Fan would have been crushed to death.
