097 Military Advisor and the Chess Game (Part )

Soon, shouts and screams came from the bottom of the mountain.

A tall figure came first, and from time to time he would strike with a single blow, cutting the opponent, their weapons, and even their wooden shields in half.

Originally, all the elite troops of the Shanyue Army were transferred here to deal with Zhuge Tian and his men.

Many of those remaining on the periphery are newly recruited soldiers.

When they met murderous figures like Xu Chu and Gan Ning, they started to flee after just a few encounters.

The defeat has a chain reaction.

When they ran away, the elite soldiers thought that a powerful enemy had arrived.

Originally they surrounded and killed dozens of people, and after a long fight, only two or three hundred of their own people were killed or wounded, so they were already a little scared.

The current collapse in the rear has directly magnified this fear.

No one knew who shouted first, but then the soldiers surrounding Zhuge Tian and his men looked at each other, dropped their weapons, and began to flee in all directions.

Most soldiers at this time had no faith.

It's okay to fight a favorable battle, but at this time...

With only that little military pay per month, why would you risk your life?

"Huh!" Liao Hua leaned against Zhao Yun and said, "Damn it! Xingba and the others are finally here."

At this time, Zhang He and others gathered together again to face Zhuge Tian and others.

"That's enough!" Zhuge Tian shook his sore wrist and said, "I won't do anything to you!"

Yu Jin smiled and said, "That's true. You may not know this, but these people are from Wolong Village. They usually won't do anything without money."

Xu Huang gave a wry smile, "This fellow captured Cao Zilian and sold him back to our lord!"

Liao Hua proudly held up two fingers and said, "I sold it twice!"

"Twice?" Yu Jin and Xu Huang were both shocked.

They had received news of the Shanyue Army's arrival a long time ago, and it was not easy for them to receive news from outside.

So he didn't know that Wu Yin had been captured, and that it was obtained by capturing Cao Hong and a few spies.

"Haha, they treated Fengxian and charged him a lot of money!" Cao Xing also said on the side.

We just fought side by side.

Now I can be considered to have survived the disaster.

So even though we are not in the same camp, we both speak with ease now.

"Hanxing, are you okay?" At this time, Xu Chu rushed over covered in blood.

Xu Huang and Yu Jin looked at Xu Chu with some complicated expressions.

Xu Chu ran away with Zhuge Tian shortly after joining Cao's camp.

I didn't think much of it at the time, but just now when I saw Xu Chu charging into the battle, I realized that this guy is so powerful.

The two men felt that if they fought on foot, even the two of them combined might not be Xu Chu's match.

After Dian Wei, Xu Chu is probably the strongest general in infantry combat.

"Not bad!" Zhuge Tian nodded: "It was a close call."

At this time, Gan Ning and Xu Shu also captured Lu He and Qin Lang who had just escaped.

The two men looked at the undercover agents in front of them, snorted coldly, and then buried their heads deeply.

I'm really too embarrassed to face anyone!

Zhuge Tian looked at the two of them and wanted to laugh. He then turned to ask the others, "How did you all end up here?"

Several people looked at each other, and it was Cao Xing who spoke up, "Because a few months ago, someone traveled thousands of miles to Wuwei and transported a large amount of gold to exchange for a large amount of copper coins."

"Wuwei? Copper coins?"

Zhuge Tian was a little confused, but he finally understood after several people explained it to him.

It turns out that the copper mine in Baiyin City, Gansu Province in later generations was located on the edge of Wuwei during the Three Kingdoms period.

The Huns there discovered a copper vein and mined a large amount of copper.

Then these Huns robbed some craftsmen who knew how to mint coins from somewhere and started minting coins directly using those copper coins.

These minted coins were then used to purchase weapons, food, etc. in the Central Plains.

Somehow, this Shanyue army got in touch with the other side and exchanged a batch of gold for a large amount of copper coins.

After all, at this time, gold was not as useful as copper coins, and if it was used in large quantities in Jiangdong, it would be too conspicuous.

During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the currency system was basically in complete chaos.

Coins were minted privately in various places.

Even coins minted in different places have different exchange rates due to their different quality...

The copper coins minted by these Huns were of very good quality and were considered good currency in the Central Plains, so there was no pressure to use them.

However, the matter was not kept secret and the news leaked out, which led to all major forces sending people to investigate.

Xu Shu listened from the side and frowned slightly: "What a coincidence? Did all of you know about it?"

Yu Jin, Zhang He and others took a look at it and now think that it was indeed too coincidental.

At this time, Lu He raised his head and looked at Qin Lang beside him: "It's you, you leaked the news, right?"

Because they felt that these two people posed no threat, they were not tied up.

As Lu He said this, he rushed forward, wanting to fight with Qin Lang.

However, Gan Ning grabbed each of their necks with one hand and separated them.

Although they separated, Qin Lang's clothes were still torn open.

"Huh?" Zhuge Tian was stunned and looked at Qin Lang's chest: "You are actually... a Hun?"

The reason for saying this is that there is a tattoo of a golden man offering sacrifices to heaven on Qin Lang’s chest.

"No wonder you, in Jiangdong, still know that the Xiongnu are minting copper coins in Wuwei."

Xu Shu showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

This golden man for offering sacrifices to heaven was originally related to the Xiongnu King Xutu.

The place of Wuwei was named after the fact that in the second year of Yuanshou in the Western Han Dynasty, the Western Han government established Wuwei County in the former territory of King Xiutu in the Hexi Corridor in order to demonstrate the military prowess of the Han Empire.

Now everything fits together.

Although no one knew who leaked the news that they used gold to buy copper coins, it was certain that Qin Lang was a descendant of the Xiongnu King Xutu.

He is most likely the one pulling the strings here.

I'm afraid that the Shanyue people who appeared in Cao's army were also related to him!

However, Zhuge Tian was not very interested in what happened later, and told Yu Jin and Xu Huang the news they got from Wuyin.

Zhuge Tian narrowed his eyes and showed his kind smile on his face: "How about doing business, you two?"

"You want to sell him to us?" Yu Jin nodded: "Deal!"

Since this person is related to the mastermind behind the deaths of Cao Ang and Dian Wei, they naturally have to bring him back.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that!" Qin Lang laughed out loud with blood on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect you guys knew so much."

"But it's too late. The military advisor's plan is about to be completed, hahahaha!"

"Master Military Advisor? Layout?"

Zhuge Tian and Xu Shu looked at each other. They had heard about the military advisor at that time and now they heard it again.

And it is obvious that the other party is setting up a big game.

"Haha, what can a few Hun barbarians who were killed so badly that they couldn't even raise their heads plan?" Zhuge Tian said in a contemptuous tone.

"You!" Qin Lang glared at Zhuge Tian: "This world is under the planning of our military advisor!"

Zhuge Tian was stunned. He had only intended to use provocation...

I didn't expect it to be so easy to use?

It happens as soon as you get it!
