Chapter 42: Strange (1)
There are two main things about Mi Zhu's return to the East China Sea this time.
In private, he wanted to finalize Mi Hun's marriage. Marrying Mi Hun to Liu Bei was the first step in Mi Zhu's plan, but the most critical step. Only by becoming a family with Liu Bei could he gain more trust and even more power, which is crucial.
In addition, Mi Zhu also has official duties.
There is a saying that before the troops move, food and grass will come first.
Since Liu Bei was going to go to war with Yuan Shu, food, supplies and supplies were essential.
Of course, the early reliance on Guangling's kufu was enough to support the war. The food and grass in Xia Pi would also be sent to the front line to ensure the progress of the war. But it was far from enough for Xia Pi and Guangling alone. Donghai and Pengcheng needed to provide food and grass support to ensure that when the war was going on, Liu Bei would not bother with food and grass on the front line. So Mi Zhu was ordered to return to Donghai County...
However, for Mi Zhu, food and grass are not an urgent task.
After passing through Tan County, he ordered the raising of food and grass, he hurried back to Qu County.
The grain and grass stored in Xiangben's granary were just about to be sent to Xia Pi. However, the grain raising operation had just begun, so the amount of grain and grass in the granary was not too much, but half a dozen. In addition, Donghai County has been in good weather recently, and the only bandits who may pose a threat to the granary were also eliminated. Therefore, Xiangben's granary was relatively safe. In addition, Mi Fang mobilized troops and prepared to intercept Liu Chuang and others on the other side of Shushui, and almost drained the armed forces of Tan County. Therefore, there were only more than one hundred people in the granary to take care of it.
When Tian Jin was almost in his mind, Liu Chuang, Liu Yong and Hai led nine people to ambush outside the granary.
The granary in the distance was brightly lit, but at a glance, you could tell that the guards here were very lax.
Two patrolmen stood listlessly outside the gate, as if they hadn't eaten enough... Inside the gate, there was no one quietly.
At this time, I think people are asleep.
Liu Chuang and Liu Yong and Guan Hai exchanged colors, and they all got on their horses and rushed to the granary.
"Who?"
The sound of horse hooves alarmed the guards and patrolmen.
But the two patrolmen did not show any warning and asked weakly.
"We are ordered by the three generals to come and investigate the safety of the granary, and we will quickly call you and the main generals to come and talk back."
Three generals, which three generals?
However, after hearing the other party’s emphasis, it should be one of our own.
Then the fire looked at the fire, and all the people came were cavalry, wearing standard sleeve armor... Just looking at the outfit, the patrol soldiers immediately felt relieved.
The Third General? Could it be General Zhang San from Xia Pi?
The patrolmen reacted and quickly posed in a mighty posture and quickly walked forward.
When they thought that the other party would definitely stop when they arrived outside the gate. Then they could also say a few words, and maybe they would be appreciated.
After all, they were Xuzhou soldiers, which was completely different from their patrol soldiers.
However, what surprised the two patrolmen was that the other party had arrived, but they did not show any sign of slowing down.
Thirty fast horses roared towards each other. If they were not in it, they would never be able to feel it. What a shock it would be.
The black war horse rushing in front was as sharp as a dragon, as fast as lightning, and arrived in the blink of an eye. The knight on the horse could see it clearly, but it was a ferocious and terrifying expression. If the two patrol soldiers didn't understand what was going on at this time, they would have lived for so many years in vain. However, even if they understood, they opened their mouths and couldn't make any sound.
I was scared, both of them were scared!
Seeing the expressions of the two patrol soldiers, the horse's knight seemed to be lacking in interest. The dark horse whistled past the two, and it seemed that there was no two patrol soldiers at all. However, the knights following the dark horse were not so polite... One of them, dancing a big sword, drew an arc in the air, and the blood suddenly appeared. The head of a patrol soldier rose into the sky, and the blood instantly dyed his body red in the cavity. The headless corpse seemed to be a rotten wood, and fell to the ground in a thunderous way, and the blood instantly dyed the ground red.
And the other person was not spared.
An iron spear penetrated through his chest. The spear-holding knight combined the Yin-Yang handle on his horse. The patrolman flew out in an instant, and his screams echoed in the air.
The sound of iron hooves covered the screams.
After dozens of war horses roared past, a pile of vague flesh and blood left outside the gate, and there was no sign of appearance.
Liu Chuang rushed into the gate and saw the pile of grain piles piled up in the gate. He lifted the dragon stick and slapped it on a fire pot that was set up at the entrance of the tent to illuminate. The fire pot rose into the air and landed on the pile of grain. The turbid oil in the brazier flowed all over the ground, and the flames burned along the turbid oil and rushed straight to the pile of grain. At the same time, a patrol general walked out of the tent, rubbing his eyes in a daze, shouting and cursing: "If you don't sleep well in the middle of the night, who is making trouble here, ruining my good dream..."
But he was just halfway through, but he was stunned.
Liu Chuang had already arrived in front of him, and the Panlong stick trembled and pierced out with a buzzing sound, and the head of the stick was poking on the man's face.
If you stick this stick, you will have a thousand pounds of divine power.
Before the patrol general even had time to scream, Liu Chuang poked the entire face with a stick and his brain burst...
The sound of iron hooves still alarmed the patrol soldiers in the granary.
They came out of the tent one after another, and without even seeing the opponent clearly, they ushered in a storm-like killing.
Liu Yong and Guan Hai are one on the left and one on the right, like two gods of killing.
Wherever you pass, blood and flesh fly, and broken limbs and arms scattered all over the ground.
Liu Yong was better. The iron spear only used assassination to reap the lives of the other party. But Guan Hai had some evil taste. The person who died under his knife did not have a complete corpse. The eighteen followers of the two also started killing, watching everyone, and killing everyone. In a moment, the blood flowed into the granary, and the awakened patrol soldiers had no intention of resisting, fleeing everywhere like ghosts and howlings.
Liu Chuang took nine people and kept throwing the brazier towards the grain pile.
The pile of grain, which was like a hill, soon rose up and illuminated the dark sky.
"Uncle Hai, don't be in love with the battle, let's go."
Seeing that the fire had already risen, Liu Chuang was worried that Xiang Ben would send troops, so he shouted and rushed out of the gate with his men. Liu Yong and Guan Hai no longer had a fight, and whistled. The troops rushed out of the gate with the two of them and quickly sank into the dark wilderness.
Xiangben’s granary has been surrounded by flames...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This sudden attack surprised the magistrate of Xiangben County.
When he arrived at the granary, the fire was still burning, and the corpses were all over his body, which was even more shocking. The fire was very big and could not be extinguished at all. Half of food, which was only 1,500 stones of food, was watched so much, and was swallowed up by the raging flames.
"Who did it?"
"County Master, I don't know... Those people left no clues. They suddenly came here, chopped everyone when they met, killed everyone when they met, and then set off a fire and quickly evacuated. They thought that those people were by no means ordinary bandits, but more like well-trained official troops."
"Official Army?"
The county magistrate was so angry that he raised his whip and whipped it on the patrolman, "You are the official army!"
But the matter had happened, and he couldn't blame his subordinates too much.
"Come here, hurry to report to Tan County, and say that Xiang Ben was attacked and the enemy situation is unknown. Please come and reinforcements quickly."
After the county magistrate ordered him to clean up the battlefield.
However, there were no clues left at the scene, which made him feel a headache.
An assistant official came forward to offer advice: "County Master, look at the actions of this group of thieves, they are definitely not bandits, do you think they are people there?"
He pointed to the west, and the county magistrate immediately reacted.
Lu Bu was stationed in Pei County.
And Pei County is just west of Donghai County...
The county magistrate didn't care about the investigation at this time. If such a big thing happened, he had to explain it to Shangfeng. I heard that the third general who stayed in Xia Pi was not particularly harmonious with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was known for his ungratefulness, so he had to bear this trouble.
Thinking of this, the county magistrate no longer hesitated and immediately sent a second messenger to Tan County to report the message.
Lu Bu of Pei County led his troops to invade Xiangben last night and set fire to the Xiangben granary... The distance between Xiangben and Tan County is not too far, so soon, Tan County received news that Xiangben granary was attacked. This is a damn strategic material, although the number is not large, it is a major event.
