The bright moon hangs high and the sky is filled with stars!
At the foot of the mountain, piles of bonfires illuminated a simple camp.
There are no fences in the entire camp. There is a circle of vehicles on the outside, connected end to end. In the middle of the aisle, there are servants holding sharp swords guarding them.
Mi Fang sat in the tent, listening to Li Fu's words, but thinking about Xiao Liu's beautiful voice in her heart.
This time, if his brother hadn't said it was an emergency, he wouldn't have come at all.
The Mi family's business is spread all over the world, but the errands are naturally done by their shopkeepers.
"Second Young Master, we have arrived at the boundary of the East China Sea now. If there are no accidents, we will arrive at noon tomorrow."
Mi Fang nodded, "I understand, is there anything else?"
Li Fu raised his hand and said, "Second Young Master, do you want everyone to take turns guarding the perimeter in case something happens?"
Mi Fang waved her hand impatiently, "Just take care of these little things yourself, don't bother me."
Li Fu gave up his hand again and exited the camp.
"It's so annoying!"
Mi Fang drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and let out a long sigh of relief.
It's been such a fuss that anyone dared to intercept the Mi family's goods for so long.
What's more, in order to protect these goods this time, the Mi family used more than 800 servants armed with sharp blades. Who dares to rob them!
"It's really a good wine!"
At this moment, an unusual sound suddenly came from outside the big tent.
"what happened?"
Mi Fang frowned and was about to speak when Li Fu, who had just ran out, ran back with a pale face.
"Second Young Master, what's wrong, someone attacked us by surprise."
As Li Fu opened the door curtain, a harsh cry of death followed the crack in the door.
When Mi Fang heard the cry of killing, her face changed, her hand shook, and the wine glass fell to the ground.
"Who are they? Hurry up and have them dispersed."
When the two of them ran out of the big tent, the shouts of killing outside became louder and louder.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
Under the bright light of the campfire, a group of refugees in rags and yellow scarves tied around their shoulders were seen rushing in from outside the camp.
This group of people was extremely ferocious. Although the servants of the Mi family tried their best to resist, they were still beaten back.
Li Fu was also taken aback and shouted something bad.
"The second young master is a remnant of the Yellow Turban Army. There are quite a few of them. This time it's going to be bad."
"Remnants of the Yellow Turban Army?"
Mi Fang's face changed in fear, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"What are you still doing? Hurry and fight them off."
Li Fu responded hurriedly, and the servants of the Mi family rushed forward, trying to block the attack of the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army.
However, although the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were dressed in rags, they were extremely brave. The servants of the Mi family who were holding sharp swords did not last long before they were repulsed again.
"Kill!"
"Ahhh!"
These remnants of the Yellow Turban Army rushed into the camp, chasing the servants of the Mi family, and skillfully picked up the wood from the campfire and smashed it into the camp tent.
Not long after, the entire camp was filled with flames and thick smoke.
"Kill, as long as we rob these grains, we can go find Qu Shuai."
Li Fu hurriedly ran back, "Second Young Master, you can't stop me anymore, run away."
Mi Fang looked at the large piles of food around her and said tremblingly, "We ran away, what will happen to the food?"
Li Fu stamped his feet, "Second Young Master, these remnants of the Yellow Turban Army don't care about that. If they run too slowly, they will die."
Mi Fang was stunned, then nodded vigorously, "You're right, let's leave quickly."
Li Fu commanded a team of servants to protect Mi Fang as he fought his way out of the crowd and ran towards Xuzhou.
The remnants of the Yellow Turban Army who were rushing to kill saw Mi Fang and others running away, so they did not pursue them and continued to pursue the servants of the Mi family who were still in the camp.
Half an hour later, the shouts of killing subsided in the camp, and only the strong smell of smoke still filled the air.
While these remnants of the Yellow Turban Army were cleaning the battlefield, a group of people walked in from outside the camp.
"Marquis Wen, I really didn't expect that the Mi family would send so much food to Changxi. It's really hateful."
This group of people is none other than Lu Bu and others.
After Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words, a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Isn't this better? No matter how much food the Mi family has, we will be responsible for receiving it."
Cheng Lian, who was walking behind Lu Bu, rubbed his hands and said, "What a pity. We, the Bingzhou cavalry, can only watch from the sidelines."
Chen Gong smiled slightly and said, "General Cheng, we can't let them discover the existence of the Bingzhou Cavalry for the time being. Wait a moment. When Chang Xi leads his troops, it's time for the Bingzhou Cavalry to show off its power."
This time, Chen Gong and others suggested that they disguise themselves as remnants of the Yellow Turban Army to rob the grain.
The main worry was that Chang Xi would be too timid to come when he heard that it was Lu Bu who had robbed the food. This would be a missed opportunity.
However, if Chang Xi heard that a group of remnants of the Yellow Turban Army had robbed the food, he would definitely be furious and would definitely lead his troops to look for it.
After all, even if you want to transport so much food, it will take a while. When Chang Xi and others come, they will definitely find clues and find a way to snatch the food back.
Lu Bu nodded, "Has the location for the ambush been arranged?"
Zhang Liao hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, the arrangements have been made and we are just waiting for Chang Xi to come with the troops and money."
Chen Gong nodded, "This time, if Chang Xi really comes, he will never come back."
Lu Bu turned to look at the food in the camp and said slowly, "Don't rush to transport these food away yet."
Chen Gong was stunned and asked doubtfully, "Marquis Wen, since you snatched it, why didn't you transport it back to Xiaopei?"
Lu Bu shook his head, "Gongtai, it is said that Changxi took a large number of refugees to the mountains. If Changxi is eliminated this time, the refugees in the mountains will probably come out. By then, even if they want to take these refugees to Xiaopei , I am afraid that a large amount of food will be needed to solve the temporary problem of food and clothing.
Rather than transporting food from Xiaopei, it would be better to leave the food directly to support these refugees, lest they fail to survive in Xiaopei. "
Chen Gong nodded and suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, Chang Xi has been active in the East China Sea. If we eliminate him this time, can we take the opportunity to capture the East China Sea?"
Lu Bu frowned, "If you want to take over the East China Sea, I'm afraid you need to send troops.
Now at least Liu Bei of Xuzhou will not use troops against us, but if we send troops to the East China Sea first, I am afraid Liu Bei will never sit idly by and ignore us. "
Having said this, Lu Bu sighed softly, "Liu Bei of Xuzhou has nothing to worry about, but once Cao Mengde of Yanzhou knows the news, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity. By then, our army will be attacked on both sides, and it will be difficult to win!"
Hearing these words, Chen Gong couldn't help but frown, and said with a wry smile, "It's a dilemma!"
Yes, this is the situation Lu Bujun is facing now. He cannot easily send troops, especially Liu Bei cannot be given the opportunity to send troops.
This is the most difficult part!
In the East China Sea, as long as Changxi is captured, it is almost equivalent to occupying the East China Sea.
However, Chen Gong's words moved him deeply.
Just a small Pei, it is true that it cannot have greater development. It must have more territory to expand its strength.
And Donghai, next to Xiaopei, is undoubtedly the best place.
Chen Gong suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, can you control Chang Xi and let him be used by us?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, Lu Bu's eyes lit up and he nodded, "This is a good idea."
At this point, Lu Bu paused, frowned and said, "But will Chang Xi be used by us?"
If Chang Xi really takes refuge with Lu Bu and uses him to control the East China Sea, he can occupy more territory without attracting the attention of others.
If it can be implemented, it is indeed a good idea.
Chen Gong thought for a while, "If this can be done, it will be really good for us and worth a try."
Lu Bu nodded, "Okay, let's see what the outcome will be after this battle?"
Chen Gong suddenly laughed, "If we can seize Chang Xi during this battle, it would be the best solution."
…
Mi Fang, Li Fu and others ran for more than 20 miles without hearing the sound behind them, so they dared to stop and rest.
"What a shame, you remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, sooner or later, we will all get rid of you."
Mi Fang's face turned red with anger and she kept roaring.
Li Fu stepped forward, cupped his hands, and was about to speak when Mi Fangque gritted his teeth and said.
"Li Fu, you are a useless thing. You brought so many servants, but your food was still taken away by them. When you go back, I will make you look good."
Hearing this, Li Fu was immediately startled and hurriedly handed over his hands, "Second Young Master, we don't want to do this again. There are so many remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and everyone has tried their best. We can't stop them!"
Mi Fang gritted her teeth and looked at Li Fu, "I lost so much food this time. How will I explain to my elder brother when I go back?"
Li Fuzheng was about to speak when a sudden thought occurred in his heart, "Second Young Master, this batch of grain was sent to Chang Xi. Why don't we go find Chang Xi now and let him lead troops to snatch the grain back? Wouldn't the matter be solved?"
Hearing this, Mi Fang was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "Li Fu, do you think Chang Xi can get the food back?"
Li Fu nodded hurriedly, "Second Young Master, no one can match Chang Xi's strength in the East China Sea. As long as he is willing to send troops, he will definitely be able to successfully regain the food."
After hearing this, Mi Fang thought for a moment and nodded, "In that case, let's go find Chang Xi now and ask him to send troops immediately to get the food back."
After the time of one stick of incense, Mi Fang and others set off again, but instead of returning to Xuzhou, they went to find Chang Xi.
…
"General Chang, according to time, the food should have been delivered. Why hasn't it come yet?"
Yanghu looked at the sun in the sky with confusion, "It's already noon, why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Chang Xi was also full of doubts, "Let's wait a little longer, maybe we'll be delayed on the way."
Just as the two were talking, suddenly, soldiers hurriedly ran up from a distance, "General Chang, it's not good, the food delivery people from Xuzhou are here."
Upon hearing the news, Chang Xi couldn't help but be stunned and became even more confused.
The people delivering food from Xuzhou have arrived, which should be good news, but the soldiers couldn’t tell!
"What's going on? Tell me clearly. Why is it bad?"
The soldier said with a grimace, "General Chang, there are only people delivering food. If there is no food, will they be allowed in?"
After hearing this, Chang Xi's expression changed and he waved his hands hastily, "Let them in quickly."
Yanghu looked at the soldiers leaving, frowned and said, "General Chang, what's going on? Why is there no food?"
Chang Xi shook his head, but looked in the direction of the camp gate.
Soon, a group of people came from a distance, bustling towards the big tent.
Chang Xi saw that the leader was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a proud face. He knew that he must not be an idle person, so he hurriedly stood up to greet him.
The visitors were Mi Fang and others who came to report the news.
Li Fu saw a strong man coming out of the tent. Although he didn't recognize him, he guessed who the man was and hurriedly stepped forward and handed him over.
"Excuse me, are you General Chang?"
Chang Xi nodded, but looked at the luxuriously dressed man.
Li Fu said hurriedly, "General Chang, this is my second son."
Hearing this, Chang Xi's eyes lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward and held his hands, "It turns out to be the second young master. Nice to meet you!"
Chang Xi knew very well that the Mi family's properties were spread all over the world and they were the richest man in Xuzhou. If they could get the family's support, it would be easy to expand their strength.
Mi Fang nodded, "General Chang, we were originally delivering food this time, but who would have thought that the food would be robbed on the way. You should immediately lead people to chase them. You must recover the food."
Hearing this, Chang Xi was stunned and said, "Second Young Master, has the food been robbed?"
Li Fu hurriedly cupped his hands, told what happened, and finally said.
"General Chang, the grain was originally given to you, but I didn't expect it to be snatched away by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. It's really hateful. You'd better send troops quickly to snatch the grain back before they get far."
After hearing what Li Fu said, Chang Xi realized what he was saying, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"I can't believe that someone dares to steal my food in the East China Sea. I really don't know how to live or die."
Yanghu shouted from the side, "General Chang, since these people don't know whether to live or die, let's show them some color and let them know how powerful we are."
Chang Xi nodded, "Without further delay, we will send troops immediately. I want to see who dares to go against me?"
Yang Huai suddenly said, "General Chang, when those people snatched the food, they didn't know that the food was for General Chang.
If we knew, maybe we wouldn't grab these grains. "
Yanghu sneered, "No matter what the reason is, if they dare to steal our food, we will destroy them and let them know how powerful we are."
Chang Xi nodded, "Immediately give the order to leave 1,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp, and the rest will go with me to snatch the food back."
"I will obey my orders."
Seeing everyone going back to reorganize their troops, Chang Xi turned to look at Mi Fang, cupped his hands and said, "Second Young Master, you stay in the barracks and wait. I will go grab the food and vent my anger on Second Young Master."
Mi Fang nodded, "Go quickly, it will be bad if they run away."
Having said this, Mi Fang turned to look at Li Fu and frowned, "Li Fu, you can go too and lead the way for General Chang to avoid being run away by them."
Chang Xi knew that his food had been robbed, and he was already very angry. He hurriedly ordered his troops and horses, and immediately left the military camp.
