"My lord, a messenger asked to see him, saying that there were 100,000 urgent military information to be submitted." Han Lie, who was entertaining the Mizhu brothers and sisters in the mansion, saw Xu Sheng coming in a hurry and reported the news, so he had to get up apologetically and said, "Mr. Zizhong, I'll go to the lobby later." ”

"General, please." Mi Zhu smiled, looking at Han Lie's departing back, he couldn't help frowning and said, "I haven't heard that there is an enemy who has offended me in Xuzhou?" Where is the emergency military situation? ”

"Recently, the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans have been making a lot of noise, maybe it's not impossible that they are coming to our Xuzhou." Mi Zhen replied disappreliantly, and continued: "This Han Ziyang is really powerful, in a short period of time, it has settled 100,000 people, I took a turn on the street yesterday, although the street is a little narrow, but it is very lively, people come and go but orderly, the most rare thing is that the street is clean, there is a garbage dump pit almost every other section, and the slogans that can be seen everywhere, it seems to be short and popular, but it does have an inspiring effect." ”

"Brother, I heard that he killed Bai Jiao, and also captured a pair of merman mother and daughter, and obtained a large number of merman treasures, is this true?" Mi Zhen, who is wearing men's clothes, wearing a crown and hat, and she has a beautiful white face, but she has a gorgeous men's dress, but she has a unique style.

"Don't inquire about this matter, our Mi family is a business, as long as the price is fair, we will do our business, this time it is a business of three thousand gold, as long as we do it well, even if we have a complete cooperative relationship with Han Ziyang in the future, so I am ready to let you stay in Licheng and be responsible for liaison matters, I don't know if my little sister is willing?" Mi Zhu first scolded softly, and then asked with a pointed smile.

"Hmph, what if I say no?" She heard her brother's idea, but out of reserve, she couldn't help pouting and saying angrily.

"If you don't want to, you won't force it for your brother, recently the Chen family intends to find a daughter-in-law, it seems that it also means a little bit to the little sister, you see that you are not young anymore......" Although Mi Zhu's tone was flat, his eyes were shrewd.

"Whoever wants to marry that Chen Gongzi, I don't rarely go back, hum." Mi Zhen heard that her brother was pressuring her with her marriage, so she had to agree angrily, although she looked wronged, but there was a faint expectation in her heart.

On the other side, Han Lie had just arrived in the lobby, and the hungry and tired Tai Shici was sitting in the hall eating the food sent by his own soldiers, and when he saw Han Lie and Xu Sheng coming in, he looked up, his eyes flashed a trace of hesitation, and he asked with some uncertainty: "Is it General Han Ziyang at your feet?" ”

"What? Don't I look like it? Han Lie was wearing a long robe at the moment, with a Tai'a sword around his waist, and the whole person looked simple and simple.

"In Xiadong Laitai Shici, meet General Han." Tai Shici didn't expect Han Lie to be so young, he looked like a weak son, in his imagination, Han Lie should be the kind of character who is as heroic as an overlord.

Looking at the young man in front of him with a square face, a tall posture, and a heroic and sturdy man protecting his home, Han Lie was a little uneasy, and asked in surprise: "Taishi Ziyi in the east of Huangxian County?" ”

"It's like a fake." Tai Shi Ci laughed loudly, for Han Lie's prestige, he had already heard from his mother that his ears were calloused, but this will see the real person, although he didn't dare to confirm it at first sight, but when he saw Han Lie staring at him with a happy face, he suddenly had a sense of familiarity, two strangers who met for the first time, looked at each other, but couldn't help but see the honesty in each other's eyes.

"Haha......" The two people in the eyes couldn't help laughing, Han Lie stepped forward to shake his hand and said, "I look forward to Ziyi, such as looking forward to Ganlin." ”

"Ci has admired the general for a long time." Tai Shi Ci was not humble either, so he sat down with Han Lie at the top.

"General, Kong Wenju Beihai was besieged by 200,000 yellow scarves, and he was in danger, so he ordered me to come to ask for help, Kong Wenju has always been famous, if the general can rush to help, he can become famous all over the world, and he can also get a reward from the imperial court, I don't know what the general wants?" After Tai Shici sat down, he solemnly bowed his head.

"Kong Wenju had some friendship with me in the past, and I was also helped by him in Beihai last year, and now he is in trouble and should be rescued." Han Lie read the letter presented by Tai Shici, and said in a deep voice: "Ziyi comes all the way, you can eat and rest for one night first, and then I will go to transfer troops and horses, and go to Beihai tomorrow afternoon." ”

"General, please accept my worship." Tai Shici didn't expect Han Lie to agree to send troops on the spot, and it only took one day to be able to pull out, and this speed of the army had already reflected Han Lie's ability to command the troops.

You must know that when the army is pulled, the first thing is to reorganize the army, and then to prepare grain and grass, in addition, trivial matters such as ordnance and armor need to be deployed.

"Ziyi is my robe, why do you need a big gift, although you eat well and rest well, I will arrange the dispatch of troops first." Han Lie stretched out his hand to support Tai Shici, who got up to salute, and smiled kindly.

Subsequently, Han Lie immediately called on the military officials and convened an emergency meeting.

Han Lie had already made a decision on the matter of sending troops, and now he was anxious about the civil and military officials, just to discuss the aftermath. After the people arrived, Han Lie first talked about the matter of rushing to help Beihai, and then said: "Licheng is now in ruins, and it stands to reason that it should not be easy to use swords, but Kong Wenju is the county guard of the imperial court, and he is famous in the sea, and he is also kind to me, and now he is in trouble, so he should rush to help." Everything is as old as in the Governor's Mansion of Diannong, and the great cause of Tuntian cannot be delayed, Wang Renjing and Sun Gongyou immediately pulled out 10,000 stones of grain and grass, and transferred 1,000 people to transport grain. ”

"Whoa." Everyone responded in unison.

Han Lie nodded, and said: "This time the city defense is left behind, Uncle Xu is in charge, in my absence, all major affairs in the city will be decided by Uncle Xu, Wang Renjing, and Guozini, and in addition, the security issues in the city, Yanyun, you, the county lieutenant, must continue to grasp it, and there must be no mistakes." ”

"Whoa." Xu Rong and Wang Ling, who stayed behind, can be said to be the people in charge of the soldiers and horses in the city, and the two are also Han Lie's real henchmen.

"Zilong, Gongming, Brother Dian, you immediately return to the camp, prepare for battle, and set off tomorrow." Han Lie's gaze swept towards Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, and Dian Weidao.

"Whoa." The three of them stood up and agreed.

"My lord, Kong Wenju asked us for help, and we should send troops, but this matter should be reported to the Department of Assassination, and we should get the official letter from Tao Envoy, and we will send troops to join the system, otherwise once Tao Envoy Jun is investigated, we will violate the law of the Han Dynasty by privately transferring troops, and then Tao Envoy Jun will have an excuse to suppress us." Just when Han Lie was arranging the personnel of all parties, Dian Nong Du Wei Guoyuan said with a solemn face.

"Zini can rest assured, I have already arranged for this matter, and now Mi Zizhong is in the mansion, I will give him Kong Wenju's letter of request for help, and ask him to forward it to Tao Yuanjun, and state the benefits. How could Han Lie ignore this, now that he is subordinate to Tao Qian after all, and he privately transfers troops to go to battle, that is a big taboo, unless he openly breaks with Tao Qian, otherwise the dispatch of troops must be approved by Tao Qian.

But to rescue Beihai, it is urgent, if you really wait for Tao Qian's official letter to reply, I am afraid that it will take at least ten days to come and go, and then send troops to the army, then the daylily will really be cold.

Of course, Han Lie was so eager to rescue Kong Rong, naturally he also had his plans, 200,000 Yellow Turban rebels gathered in Beihai, such a huge population base, but it is quite a large county population, if he can rob tens of thousands of people to Licheng, then by the end of the year, after the completion of Binhai New City, then his rule is equivalent to two cities, more than 100,000 people, invisibly, he, the county commander of Licheng, has the strength of a county guard.

And he knew that the Qingzhou Yellow Turban would be defeated, and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, known as the million, was cheaper than Cao Cao in the end, and it was Cao Cao in history who incorporated the Qingzhou Million Yellow Turban, and his strength began to swell, and he became the strongest prince in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

And Han Lie now has a sense of crisis, that is, he found that the local princes of this era, such as his cheap uncle Han Fu, Beihai Kong Rong, and Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, they boast of being famous and will lend a helping hand to weak forces, but once they find that these small forces under shelter have a chance to take the lead, they will suppress them.

At present, Han Lie's strength is developing rapidly, if it continues like this, sooner or later it will be suppressed by Tao Qian, recently Han Lie has received a report from Wang Ling, and found that there are traces of some spies in Licheng, but in order not to startle the snake, Han Lie did not arrest him, but this incident has already sounded the alarm for Han Lie, that is, it means that someone has begun to pay attention to himself.

And in Xuzhou, Han Lie also has a big enemy, that is, Taishan Kou Zang Ba Sun Guan and others who are stationed on the front line of Kaiyang, this Taishan Kou's strength cannot be ignored, now they are restrained by Tao Qian, and they dare not come to offend, but if Tao Qian is ready to suppress himself that day, Zang Ba Sun Guan and these people are likely to become Tao Qian's sharp blades to attack him.

Therefore, for Han Lie, this rescue of Beihai is not just a simple military operation, but an opportunity to expand his strength, if he can gather 50,000 or even 100,000 people in Beihai again to return to Licheng, and then take advantage of this period of time, use the money in his hand to hoard enough grain and grass, even if Tao Qian wants to suppress himself in the future, he will have a certain counterattack strength.

Han Lie now has 5,400 soldiers in his hands, and another 6,000 people are strong, and 500 are all potential military forces, but compared to Taishan Kou led by Zang Ba, it is much worse, according to the information he knows, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Wu Dun have 40,000 troops, and the combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses is not weak.

As for Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, he has 70,000 troops in his hands. And they are all well-equipped Han soldiers, if you add the private armies of the major families, Tao Qian ascends to the top and shouts, it is enough to gather 100,000 people, this is Tao Qian's real strength, maybe it is difficult for Tao Qian to eliminate Zang Ba at this moment, but it is definitely an easy thing to deal with Han Lie.

Therefore, Han Lie must not only actively expand his strength at the moment, but also keep a low profile and not let Tao Qian take any precautions against himself.

As soon as the military meeting to rescue Beihai ended, Han Lie returned to the inner mansion again, met with Mi Zhu, and gave Mi Zhu the letter of Kong Rong asking for help, and after the other party read it, he said: "As the saying goes, saving soldiers is like fighting fire, Kong Beihai is kind to me, I dare not save it, but sending troops is a big deal, and I have a few major generals under my account, and I also asked Mr. Zizhong to work hard, and immediately return to Tancheng, tell the truth to Tao Envoy Jun Chen, and exclude reinforcements to respond." ”

Mi Zhu already had the heart to befriend Han Lie, plus Han Lie had recently negotiated a deal with him for three thousand gold, and he knew that Tao Qian and Kong Rong had a very strong relationship, and it should not be a problem for him to mediate one or two things by himself, and under a deep groan, he said: "This matter is indeed urgent, I will set off now, but whether it can be promoted, I dare not guarantee it." ”

"Mr. Zizhong, please don't shirk, if this matter is successful, I am willing to take another 3,000 gold and entrust the Mijia Chamber of Commerce to buy 300,000 stone grain and 30,000 catties of pig iron and 3,000 ploughing cattle for a certain person." Han Lie knew that money could grind, such a big deal, Mi Zhu would inevitably be moved, and with Mi Zhu's connections, Tao Qian would trust him for the time being, and there should be no problem.

"General Han is really fast, this matter is decided, in the future, my Mijia Chamber of Commerce in Licheng liaison matters, my little sister is in charge, I immediately got up and returned to Tancheng." Mi Zhu's eyelids couldn't help jumping, Han Lie had promised him a business of three thousand gold before, but now he had pressed down three thousand gold, a total of six thousand gold, this is a huge amount of wealth, even if his family has hundreds of millions of dollars, he can't help but be moved.

"Okay, I've covered all the food and lodging for Miss Mi in Licheng." Han Lie smiled faintly, his gaze swept over Mi Zhen on the side, and he got up and said to Mi Zhu.
