Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Moreover, although Wei Yan paid a lot, he asked for very little. Except for the occasional stop to shelter from the wind, he seldom asked the defenders of the beacon tower to do anything. Did not betray the eldest son.

Later, as Wei Yan made more and more money, the defenders of the Beacon Tower along the coast got more and more fat, and their attitudes changed from the initial hostility and vigilance, and some people even regarded Wei Yan's merchant ships as food and clothing. parents to see.

This attitude has directly affected the behavior of officers and soldiers in Beacon Towers everywhere. Now Wei Yan's merchant ships will not encounter inspections along the way. If there is a merchant ship berthed halfway, it must be people from Beacon Towers who are inviting the shopkeepers on board to drink and connect with each other.

Just like now, before Wei Yan landed, the defenders on the Beacon Tower had already come to the shore to pick up their God of Wealth.

Wei Yan smiled and waved his hands vigorously in response, but the words in his mouth were very cold.

"After docking, I approached the beacon tower to ensure that the beacon fire would not be ignited, and then shoot and kill, don't spare the arrows."

"Here!"

The young general took the order, and then asked someone to bring out ten baskets containing wine jars from the warehouse as a gift to the beacon tower.

"bump"

With a muffled sound, Wei Yan's boat docked, and Wei Yan was the first to get off the boat with a smile. Looking at the approaching defenders, he calculated the number logically, and then asked, "Which one is the king?" Head of the village, this is Wei's first time passing through a business, so I'm here to pay you a visit."

In the next year, a middle-aged man came out and said with a smile: "This is Wang Mo. It's too polite to pay a visit or not. As long as the banner of the Wei family company is hung on the boat, it is Wang Mo's friend."

While Wang Mo was talking, he suddenly said strangely: "Your surname is Wei, so it's hard to do that."

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows, and said with some complacency: "That's right, I and General Wei are of the same clan!"

"Ah, disrespect, disrespect!"

Wang Mo hurriedly saluted. Although Wei Yan was hated by people in Gaotang, but in Hebei, he was the God of Wealth. Many people wanted to have a relationship with him. Wang Mo, a small team leader, met Wei Yan's clansmen, so it was natural You need to curry favor with others.

At this time, the people on the bow also began to carry drinks down. When the defenders saw it, they didn't even need to say hello, so they happily stepped forward to help, and they were so proficient.

Wei Yan took Wang Mo's arm, pointed at the drinks, and said in a low voice, "It is said that the good wine last time was very popular with General Chunyu, so this time most of the goods are drinks, and making money is next. The general is happy, it will not be difficult to have a bigger business in the future, of course, brothers will definitely be indispensable at that time."

Wang Mo's face was stunned, and his eyes were full of excitement. He had noticed just now that the draft of the ship seemed a little deep this time. It was strange at first, but the cargo was all wine, so it made sense.

"Sir, you are very polite. This fine wine, hey, we are really worthy of it. In this way, since it is the first time for you to go on a boat, you must stay a little longer today. I will ask someone to prepare some small dishes and have a few drinks with you. how?"

Wei Yan blinked, smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Do you dare to disobey?"

Immediately, the two laughed and walked towards the Beacon Tower, and behind them, Wei Yan's sergeant, who had been disguised, and the Beacon Tower defenders, walked slowly behind carrying drinks, talking and laughing non-stop, but looking at each other. is increasingly dangerous.

The defenders also heard that the rare good wine was delivered this time, and they only thought about getting drunk, they didn't notice the abnormality of the "good friends" around them, and they didn't know that the big man behind them On the boat, there were already dozens of Liannu deployed under the tarpaulin, silently blocking all the escape routes on the left and right.

Wei Yan and Wang Mo walked into the Beacon Tower shoulder to shoulder. Wang Mo was about to take out the big carp that he caught in the net in the morning, but Wei Yan had no intention of those. He stretched his neck to look at the Beacon Tower and saw no one on it, so he asked Wang Mo Said: "Why is there a big eagle on it?"

"eagle?"

Wang Mo subconsciously raised his head and looked up, and at this moment, Wei Yan's eyes burst into murderous aura, and he swung his right fist fiercely, hitting Wang Mo's throat, only heard a click, Wang Mo stepped back a few steps, his eyes widened. He was so round, his face was full of horror, his mouth was wide open, and he wanted to shout, but his throat was broken, and it was difficult to even breathe, and he couldn't make a sound at all. In the blink of an eye, he fell softly to the ground, clasped his throat with his hands, The body twitched and convulsed, and the blood foamed from the mouth, and it seemed that he was dead.

But at the end of the day, there was still a trace of doubt in Wang Mo's eyes that couldn't be resolved, and it seemed that he couldn't figure out why Wei Yan suddenly killed him.

At this time, Wei Yan's face no longer had the merchant's philistinism, but was replaced by ruthlessness. He casually took off the saber from Wang Mo's body, and stepped out of the beacon fire. To say hello, however, Wei Yan raised his knife and lowered the man's head before his expression changed.

Stepping over the dead head, Wei Yan took a few steps forward, and what he saw were the guards of the Beacon Tower who were discussing how to divide the wine around the wine jar, and his own family who quietly retreated to the outside.

Wei Yan didn't make a sound or give an order, because his appearance itself was a signal to do something.

swish swish

The rapid sound of arrows piercing the air suddenly sounded, and they shot mercilessly at those Jizhou soldiers who were still circling around the wine. These poor people are considered elite, but at this moment they are completely defenseless. When they suddenly encounter arrows, they are still How many people can dodge the arrows of the Liannu?

"Ah, help!"

"Stop it, what are you doing!"

"We've been tricked, they want to take the Beacon Tower!"

"Desperate!"

"Don't shoot the arrow, I surrender!"

The continuous screams sounded, and these Jizhou military divisions who were still in joy just now were thrown into hell in an instant. However, no matter how they shouted and struggled, there was only one ending in the face of the military orders and Liannu that left no survivors.

In order to hide, the soldiers who went ashore only brought six continual crossbows, that is, sixty arrows. The defenders of the Beacon Tower had only 25 people at full strength, and they were attacked by surprise again. He became bloody and wanted to fight for his life, but everything was in vain. When the crossbow on the ship was pulled down and the machine expanded, and the last two people who fled were shot, the battle for the Beacon Tower was declared over. , before and after using no more than two sticks of incense.

Time was precious, and Wei Yan didn't even bother to clean the battlefield, leaving a small group of people to guard the beacon tower, and then led the men on the boat, and continued towards Pingyuanjin, preparing to pull out the next beacon tower.

The soldiers were very excited. They thought this battle would be dangerous, but they didn't expect it to be so easy. A beacon tower, which should have been dealt with carefully, was taken away by them without any effort. The battle is full of confidence.

Wei Yan was also very happy, but compared to ordinary soldiers, his mind was much calmer.

Although the first Beacon Tower was taken easily, if there is a mistake in the future, their sneak attack will become a strong attack, and he, Wei Yan, will definitely die.

In addition to these, Wei Yan was still a little bit embarrassed, money was really scary, and even he felt a little unreal in his heart.

Only relying on money made Yuan Tan's Yellow River defense line a joke full of loopholes.

Relying only on money, the former Jizhou even forgot to be vigilant against the enemy.

Such a result made Wei Yan happy but also full of vigilance. When he finished fighting Hebei, he must speak to Li Yi face to face.

Because he was afraid, afraid that the situation of the Jizhou Army today would happen to them one day in the future, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

About two hours before Wei Yan's fleet left, thick smoke and dust suddenly rose from the southwest of Gaotang's ferry. Seeing this, Xu Sheng, who had been staying at the top of the city, immediately went out of the city to meet him. The character banner is rapidly approaching this side.

"General!"

Xu Sheng yelled excitedly. Although he was left behind in Gaotang to support the supporters from all walks of life, his heart was not at ease at all. He was always paying attention to the several roads leading to Gaotang, for fear of the follow-up The support came too late, leaving Wei Yan trapped in Pingyuanjin.

Now Zhang Liao's arrival gave him peace of mind.

Soon, the two sides approached, and Zhang Liao also saw Xu Sheng, and a smile appeared on his dusty face, but the military situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, so he asked loudly, "How long has it been since you left?"

"Two hours!"

"Is the ship safe!"

"There are more than three hundred ships, big and small, and you can board them at any time!"

"forage!"

"They're all at the ferry, [-] troops, each with three days' rations, packed for the soldiers to use!"

"it is good!"

Seeing that Xu Sheng was ready, Zhang Liao pointed at Tai Shici, and ordered: "Ziyi immediately dismounted and boarded a boat with the [-] cavalry, and rushed to Pingyuanjin to support the commander. They had a rest and a meal. They were all on board. When the follow-up troops arrive, I will Continue to support as soon as possible!"

"Here!"
