Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Just when Xie Gong and Qin Ziwen both thought that Liu Xiujun was about to have a big mess, and Liu Xiujun's soldiers were also on the verge of despair, things suddenly took a turn for the better. A huge contingent of grain merchants suddenly came to Liu Xiujun's camp.

The size of this grain merchant must have been as many as 2,000 people, half of whom were transporters and half of whom were carrying grain. There were so many carriages in the procession that you stood at the front of the procession and could not see the end of the procession. Each wagon was loaded with grain.

No one expected that when Liu Xiujun had run out of food and was about to face a catastrophe, such an unprecedented grain merchant would suddenly appear. Hearing the spy's report, Xie bowed and couldn't believe his ears.

He muttered, "This can't be! Liu Xiujun's back road has been cut off by Wang Langjun, and the grain from Shanggu, Yuyang, Zhongshan, Zhending, and Xindu counties cannot be transported at all! ”

The spy who reported the news said cautiously: "My lord, this grain transport team is not from the north!" ”

"What?"

"It is said that it is a grain merchant from Yingchuan!"

"Yingchuan?" Xie Gong unconsciously opened his mouth wide, with a look of shock and dazedness. Yingchuan is not far from Hebei, although it is not a thousand miles away, but the distance is not close, how could the grain merchants of Yingchuan suddenly come to Hebei to sell grain?

Besides, now that Hebei is in chaos, Wang Lang is rebelling, and there are rebels everywhere, which grain chamber has the courage to transport grain to Hebei to sell? And what grain merchant can gather so much grain?

Xie bowed to the question mark in his head, and he couldn't figure it out.

Of course, this huge grain merchant did not come to Hebei to sell grain on a whim, but received Liu Xiu's order in advance and made a special trip to Hebei to deliver grain to Liu Xiu.

The person in charge of the grain transportation team is none other than He Lu.

As early as when Liu Xiu led the army into Yingchuan to fight, he became acquainted with He Lu, a local grain merchant in Yingchuan, and He Lu willingly worshiped under Liu Xiu's command because of Liu Xiu's favor.

After Liu Xiu accepted He Lu, he did not keep him by his side, but let He Lu continue to be a grain merchant in Yingchuan, and Liu Xiu secretly gave him great support.

At that time, Liu Xiu's eldest brother Liu Xuan was still alive, and Liu Xiu secretly supported He Lu, the purpose was very simple, that is, to cultivate a grain road of his own and pave the way for the eldest brother to achieve great things in the future.

As a result, not long after the end of the Battle of Kunyang, Liu Xuan was suddenly killed by Liu Xuan, and Liu Xiu was also deprived of military power, first under house arrest in Wancheng, and later transferred to Luoyang as a supervisor.

But Liu Xiu and He Lu have never broken off contact, and he smuggled a lot of money and property he seized in Yingchuan and Runan into He Lu's hands, asking him to buy as much grain as possible.

In this decisive battle between him and Wang Lang, Liu Xiu had already predicted that Wang Lang would lay heavy troops in Julu City, and if his side attacked strongly, it would be difficult to win, so it was better to bypass Julu City directly, so that Wang Lang's army's strong city defense in Julu City would come to naught.

However, bypassing Julu City, you will face a very serious problem, that is, the logistics supply will be cut off.

At this time, Liu Xiu thought of He Lu, the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, and it was used for a while. He secretly sent people, hurried to Yingchuan, day and night, and asked He Lu to transport all the grain he could hoard to Hebei.

He Lu was obedient, and after receiving the order from Liu Xiu, he immediately organized manpower to gather all the grain purchased this year and transport it to Hebei.

On his own, if he wants to transport so much grain to Hebei, I am afraid that he has not yet arrived at the place, and he will have to be robbed all of them if he is just halfway there.

However, Liu Xiu left a lot of contacts for He Lu in Yingchuan, and it was through these connections left by Liu Xiu that He Lu organized thousands of strong men to escort the grain transportation team from Yingchuan all the way to Hebei.

He Lu has been in business for many years, is very shrewd, and knows how to survive.

When he didn't arrive in Hebei, he played the banner of Liu Xuan, crossed the Yellow River, and entered the territory of Hebei, and he immediately changed to the banner of Wang Lang.

Here in Beihe, under the banner of Wang Lang, the grain transportation team has indeed successfully avoided the harassment of many rebel troops.

In fact, with the speed of He Lu and his party, he should have arrived a long time ago, but halfway through, he suddenly received a message from Liu Xiu, asking him to find a hidden place, rest for a few days, and then hurry.

He Lu didn't understand Liu Xiu's intentions, but Liu Xiu had an order, and he had to obey it. This is also the reason why the grain delivery team has not arrived for a long time.

The greatest hatred in the world is not the hatred of killing one's father or taking one's wife, but hunger.

Hunger can make people crazy, hunger can make people abandon life and death, and be willing to lift their heads and rise up, hunger can make people abandon morality, let go of shame, and turn into beasts, not hesitating to cannibalize their kind.

Liu Xiu skillfully took advantage of this to lead the bitter hatred of the soldiers under his command to Xie Bow and Liu Xuan.

The methods he used are far from being above board, but then again, from ancient times to the present, who can be called a gentleman if he can achieve great things?

The grain delivered by He Lu suddenly solved Liu Xiujun's biggest and most imminent problem, which made the whole army rejoice. Seeing the truckloads of food pouring into their camp, the entire camp was boiling.

People feel that following Liu Xiu, the lord, is like divine help, every time he is in a desperate situation, he almost can't see hope, but every time he can turn the danger into a disaster and get through the crisis safely.

If this is not a true destiny, then what is a true destiny?

In fact, what people don't know is that the myths created by Liu Xiu do have elements of luck, but more of them are still for people.

Just when Liu Xiujun was happily receiving the food, Xie Gong couldn't help but rush over when he heard the news to find out. The last time he came, Liu Xiujun's camp was still filled with a lifeless atmosphere, but now, it was completely replaced by cheers.

Looking at the smiles of excitement and excitement on the faces of the officers and men in the battalion, this could not be pretended in any way.

At this time, Xie Gong's head was buzzing, he had already done the wicked, but what he did as a wicked man did not have any effect, he was tantamount to being a wicked man in vain.

At this time, Xie bowed faintly and felt that he seemed to be calculated by Liu Xiu.

He came to the Zhongjun tent, and after a short time, he was invited in by Long Yuan. There are a lot of people in the Chinese military tent, Liu Xiu and the generals under his command are there, and He Lu and several henchmen he brought are also there.

The originally happy Zhongjun tent, as Xie bowed in, the laughter disappeared instantly, and it was replaced by a cold eye on him.

Xie Bow smiled bitterly, he bowed to Liu Xiu, and said, "Xiaguan pays a visit to Marquis Wuxin." ”

"Xie Shangshu doesn't have to be polite." Liu Xiule looked at him and said slowly.

"The lower officials heard that a grain merchant from Yingchuan arrived at the camp of the Marquis of Wuxin." When Xie bowed and spoke, his eyes naturally fell on He Lu and the others.

Most of the people present knew him, only He Lu and these people were very eye-catching, and they were all dressed as ordinary people.

Liu Xiu smiled, waved his hand to He Lu, and said, "Mr. He, this is Shangshu Ling Xie Shangshu." As he spoke, he introduced He Ludao: "This is the Yingchuan grain merchant Xie Shangshu wants to see, Mr. He Luhe!" ”

Xie bowed and turned his head to look at He Lu, looked him up and down, and said quietly: "He Lu? I had never heard of such a big grain merchant as Mr. He in Yingchuan before, and I don't know where did Mr. He get all the grain he sold? "Does this have anything to do with you Xie Shangshu?" Without waiting for He Lu to speak, Wu Han, who was sitting on the side, sneered and said: "Mr. He is a grain merchant, if he doesn't steal or rob, he is willing to come to Hebei, and he is willing to give the grain he has accumulated over the years to our army in vain."

, is there anything wrong with that? ”

With so much grain, where can an ordinary grain merchant hoard it, and how can a grain merchant who can hoard so much grain be an unknown person?

This matter is strange inside and out. Xie bowed and said to Liu Xiu: "Wu Xinhou, this Mr. He, is treacherous, I am afraid there is another hidden secret, I want to take him back to the camp and ask one or two." ”

When He Lu heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly looked at Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said slowly: "If Xie Shangshu has any questions, you don't have to ask Mr. He, just ask me." ”

Xie bowed and raised his eyebrows inexplicably. Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. He has always been my subordinate. ”

Hearing this, Xie Gong was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

No wonder Yingchuan suddenly appeared He Lu, a little-known grain merchant, it turned out that he was Liu Xiu's subordinate, it seems that Liu Xiu had already begun to lay out in Yingchuan, what did he want to do?

Xie Gong narrowed his eyes slightly, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Marquis Wuxin, can you take a step to speak." ”

Liu Xiu looked at him for a moment, smiled, and waved his hand to everyone present. Seeing this, the people reluctantly stood up, and before they walked out of the camp, they all glared at each other.

When everyone came out of the Chinese military tent, Liu Xiu said indifferently: "If Xie Shangshu has anything to say, he can say it now." ”

"Marquis Wu Xin has already notified Yingchuan's subordinates to transport grain to Hebei." Xie bowed and said word by word.

Liu Xiu shrugged and was noncommittal. Such a simple question, he was too lazy to answer.

Xie Gong continued: "Since Marquis Wuxin has obviously requisitioned grain from Yingchuan's subordinates, why do you still want to borrow grain from the lower officials? ”

Liu Xiu smiled and asked happily, "What does Xie Shangshu think?" ”

"Marquis Wu Xinhou is sure that I will not borrow grain."

Liu Xiu smiled silently. Xie bowed and said loudly: "Wu Xinhou is bent on letting me be this wicked person!" ”

"Haha!" Liu Xiu laughed when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Doesn't Xie Shangshu himself want to be a villain?" ”

When he asked rhetorically, he was speechless. He was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "Bow is just a mere Shang Shu order, and the weight is not heavy enough for Wu Xinhou to specially design and frame him. ”

Well! It's a bit self-aware. Liu Xiu smiled and did not answer.

Xie Gong continued: "Marquis Wu Xin's real purpose for me to be this wicked person is not to make the soldiers under my command hate me, but to make the soldiers under my command hate the present!" "Hmmm! Not only self-aware, but also smart! The smile on Liu Xiu's face deepened a little, and he said meaningfully: "Xie Shangshu is a rare talent, I thought that Xie Shangshu stayed in Chang'an, it was a condescending talent, it was better to stay in Hebei, here."

Xie Shangshu is an ideal place to show his talents. Xie looked at Liu Xiu intently, looked at him for a moment, stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out. When he was about to walk out of the tent, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said, "Marquis Wuxin, as long as you bow down for a day, Hebei,

will always be the Hebei of the Son of Heaven, not someone else's Hebei! After speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out without looking back. Looking at the curtain swaying back and forth, Liu Xiu hooked the corners of her mouth, sighed softly, and muttered: "It's hard to persuade damn ghosts with good words!" ”
