Chapter 197: Money and Food Looted
Solving the matter of money is equivalent to solving Liu Xie's most difficult problem at present.
Coupled with the war horses in Youzhou, although neither Liu Yu nor Gongsun Zan in Youzhou have yet to give Liu Xie an answer, Liu Xie believes that the two of them will not only not break their promises, but will also compete to please themselves.
Just when Liu Xie thought he could take a break, he heard a shouting sound from outside the door, and then an embarrassed figure ran in.
"it!"
When he saw the person coming, Liu Xie thought that he had seen it wrong, not who Zhen Yi was.
After Zhen Yi agreed with himself that day, he quickly returned to Anping Kingdom to prepare for the payment.
According to the agreed date, it is almost time to send all the money and food to Bohai, who knows that now I will see it, but Zhen Yi looks embarrassed.
He was covered in dust, and he didn't know where it was rolling, and the bun on his head was scattered, like a madman.
If it weren't for Liu Xiegang who hadn't seen him for a long time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known him.
"Master Zhen, how did you become like this?" Liu Xie stood up suddenly, motioned for Dian Wei and the others to step back, and at the same time looked at Zhen Yi with a shocked expression and asked.
"Your Highness, you have to be my master!" Seeing Liu Xie, Zhen Yi wailed to Liu Xie with a crying face.
"What happened?" Looking at Zhen Yi's appearance, Liu Xie comforted him while secretly speculating to himself.
I don't know why, Liu Xie had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, after seeing Zhen Yi's mood calm down a little, he spoke: "Your Highness, all the money I want to bring for Your Highness has been robbed halfway!" ”
"What?!"
Hearing what Zhen Yi said, Liu Xie suddenly felt that all the blood in his head had surged to the position of the Heavenly Spirit Cover above his head, and his eyes were blurred for a while.
"Lord!" Seeing that Liu Xie was wrong, Dian Wei and Xu Chu behind him had already stepped forward to support Liu Xie.
"Master Zhen, who did it? Can you see clearly? At this time, Chen Zhi also walked out of the shadows, glanced at Liu Xie with a concerned face, and saw that Liu Xie was fine, so he immediately asked Zhen Yi.
Hearing Chen Zhi's inquiry, Zhen Yi thought for a while and said, "I don't know them either, but judging by their outfits, they should be the Yellow Turban Army." ”
"The Yellow Turbans? Could it be the one from Dongguang? Hearing what Zhen Yi said, Liu Xie immediately thought of the Yellow Turban Army of Dongguang mentioned earlier.
Dongguang is in the territory of the Bohai Sea, and there has always been a Yellow Turban Army raging, and when he was in Anping before he came, Liu Xie had heard about them.
Originally, Liu Xie was going to wait until the matter at hand was almost dealt with and went to clean them up in person, but who knew that before he could do it himself, the other party would take the lead instead.
"Good, good!" Hearing what Zhen Yi said, Liu Xie's silver teeth clenched, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
"Lord, give me five hundred people, and I will break all these eight lambs into pieces!" At this time, Xu Chu volunteered.
"My lord, give me 300 people and you can take them all!" Hearing Xu Chu's request for battle, Dian Wei on the side also hurriedly asked for battle.
"My lord, I only need one hundred and fifty people!"
......
Dian Wei and Xu Chu quarreled over who would fight, and they both wanted to go to the battle in person.
"Enough!" Hearing the dispute between the two, Liu Xie felt that his head was about to explode, and immediately stopped the two.
And the two of them, who were not afraid of heaven and earth, hurriedly closed their mouths under Liu Xie's reprimand.
"My lord, do you need to discuss this matter with a few military advisors?" At this time, Chen Zhi glanced at the two of them and asked on the side.
Hearing what Chen Zhi said, Liu Xie hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
After a while, several people came one after another, seeing that Liu Xie's face didn't seem to be very good, and then seeing Zhen Yi's appearance, a few people had already guessed something in their hearts.
At Liu Xie's suggestion, Zhen Yi told everyone what happened to him again.
After listening to what Zhen Yi said, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought, only to hear Mao Jue ask Zhen Yi: "Master Zhen, do many people know about your actions this time?" ”
Hearing Mao Jue's inquiry, Zhen Yi shook his head directly and said, "How is it possible?" Of course, the fewer people who know about such things, the better, for fear of encountering this kind of thing. ”
As he spoke, Zhen Yi seemed to remember the wealth he had been robbed, and he shed a few tears.
Seeing Zhen Yi's sad appearance, Liu Xie couldn't help but speak: "Lone is also responsible for this matter, I just thought about borrowing money from the Zhen family master, but I forgot the guards along the way." ”
Liu Xie showed a trace of remorse on his face, and Zhen Yi eased a little after hearing Liu Xie's statement.
"My lord, I'm afraid this matter is not simple." At this time, Mao Jue frowned and said thoughtfully.
"Oh? What's not easy? Hearing what Mao Jue said, Liu Xie's curiosity was immediately aroused, and he asked with a puzzled expression, and at the same time, Zhen Yi also looked over.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Mao Jue couldn't help but analyze: "The Zhen family master has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and the risks along the way are naturally known, but this time because the amount is really huge, it must not be able to cover up."
However, the head of the Zhen family said that this time it was transported to the Bohai Sea in batches, but each batch was robbed by the Yellow Turban Army, so it was unreasonable. ”
"What's an unreasonable law? The Yellow Turban Army is clearly interested in seeing wealth! Hearing what Mao Jue said, Zhen Yi suddenly didn't understand.
Seeing that Zhen Yi was a little excited, Mao Jue understood Zhen Yi's emotional instability at this time, and immediately did not get angry, and patiently asked: "Master Zhen, if you are this Yellow Turban Army, will you really wipe out all the money?" ”
Hearing Mao Jue's inquiry, Zhen Yi said with a look of course: "Why don't I rob more money?" ”
"Then how did you know that there would be more money in the future, Master Zhen?" Hearing what Zhen Yi said, Mao Jue suddenly spoke again.
"I..."
Originally, Zhen Yi was about to say something casually, but suddenly he seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped.
Seeing Zhen Yi's appearance, Mao Jue immediately added: "Ordinary robbers, especially rogues like the Yellow Turban Army, will definitely be sincerely afraid while being overjoyed after doing a vote.
After all, if there is a lot of money and food, the officers and soldiers will definitely not let them go easily, and everyone understands the truth of Huaibi's punishment, and in this case, they will definitely escape as far as possible, so how can they wait to rob the next wave of money and food? ”
"Xiaoxian means that the Yellow Turban Military First has already received the news that the Zhen family master will transport the money and grain to the Bohai Sea in batches?" After listening to Mao Jue's analysis, Liu Xie couldn't help nodding his head, and at the same time said what he thought in his heart.
"Indeed, judging from the analysis of the head of the Zhen family, this group of Yellow Turban Army obviously has a clear goal." At this time, Chen Gong couldn't help but echo.
At the same time, Xu Shu and Tian Feng also made this judgment.
