Chapter 42 (I)

There are two main things about Lu Zhu's return to the East China Sea.

In private, he wants to finalize the marriage of Elk. Marrying Elk to Liu Bei is the first step in Elkzhu's plan, but the most critical one. Only by becoming a family with Liu Bei can he gain more trust and even more power, which is very important.

In addition, Lu Zhu also has official duties.

There is a way that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first.

Since Liu Bei wants to start a war with Yuan Shu, grain and grass are indispensable.

Of course, in the early stage, with the treasury of Guangling, it was enough to support the start of the war. A steady stream of grain and grass will also be sent to the front line to ensure the progress of the war. But just Xiapi and Guangling are far from enough. Donghai and Pengcheng both need to be given grain and grass support to ensure that when the war is going on, Liu Bei will not be bothered by grain and grass on the front line. So, Lu Zhu was ordered to return to Donghai County......

However, for Elk, food and grass are not a priority.

He passed through Tan County, and after instructing him to raise grain and grass, he hurried back to Qu County.

The grain and grass stored in the Xiangben granary are ready to be sent to Xiapi. It's just that the action of raising grain has just begun, so the amount of grain and grass in the granary is not too much, but it is only half a lot. In addition, Tokai County has been in good weather recently, and the only Hayama bandits who may pose a threat to the granary have also been eliminated. Therefore, the Xiangben granary is relatively safe. In addition, Elfang mobilized troops and horses to prepare to intercept Liu Chuang and others on the other side of Shushui, and almost exhausted the armed forces of Tanxian County. As a result, there were only more than 100 people to take care of this granary.

When the day was near, Liu Chuang and Liu Yong each led nine people and laid an 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.

The two rangers stood listlessly outside the gate, as if they had not had enough to eat...... Inside the gate, there was no one in sight.

At this time, I guess everyone is sleeping.

Liu Chuang and Liu Yong exchanged colors, got on their horses one after another, and urged the horses to rush to the granary.

"Who?"

The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the guard patrols.

But the two patrolmen did not show a look of vigilance, and asked weakly.

"I am on the order of the three generals, and I have come to investigate the safety of the granary, and I will quickly call the main generals to come and talk back."

Three generals, which three generals?

But listening to the other party's emphasis, it should be your own person.

Then the firelight looked at it, and the people who came were all cavalry, wearing standard sleeve armor...... Just looking at the dress, the patrol immediately relaxed.

Three generals? Could it be General Zhang San of Xiapi?

The patrol reacted, and hurriedly put on a majestic posture and walked forward quickly.

In their minds, the other party will definitely stop when they get to the gate, and the two of them will be able to talk a few words at that time, and maybe they will be appreciated.

After all, they were Xuzhou soldiers, and they were completely different from these patrolmen.

However, to the surprise of the two patrolmen, the other party had already arrived in front of them, but did not show the slightest hint of wanting to slow down.

Thirty fast horses were roaring towards us, and if you were not in them, you would not have felt it, what a shock.

The black war horse that rushed to the front, like a dragon, fast as lightning, came to him in the blink of an eye. The knight on the horse can also see it really, but it is a hideous and terrifying expression full of murderous intent. By this time, if the two patrolmen still didn't understand what was going on, they really had lived for so many years in vain. However, even if they understood, they opened their mouths wide and could not make a sound.

Scared silly, both of them were scared silly!

Seeing the expressions of the two patrolmen, the knight on the horse seemed to be lacking interest, and the black horse whizzed past the two of them, as if he did not see the two patrolmen at all. However, the knight who followed the dark horse was not so polite...... I saw one of them, wielding a big knife to draw an arc of light in the air, followed by the blood light collapse, a patrolman's head rose to the sky, the blood instantly stained the body red along the cavity, the headless corpse was like a rotten wood, poofed and fell to the ground, and the blood instantly stained the ground.

The other person was not spared.

An iron spear pierced through his chest, and the spear-wielding knight snapped his horse, and the patrolman flew out at once, screaming through the air.

The sound of iron hooves drowned out the screams.

After dozens of war horses roared past, a pile of vague flesh and blood was left outside the gate, and it was impossible to see the appearance at all.

Liu Chuang rushed into the gate and saw the stacks of grain piled up in the gate. He lifted the dragon stick and snapped it on a brazier that was set up at the door of the tent to illuminate it. The brazier rose into the air and landed on the grain stack. The oil in the brazier flowed to the ground, and the flame burned along the oil in an instant, and went straight to the grain stack. At the same time, a patrol general walked out of the camp tent, rubbed his eyes in a daze, and shouted loudly: "I don't sleep well in the middle of the night, who is making trouble here, ruining Lao Tzu's good dreams......"

It's just that he was just halfway through speaking, but he was stunned.

Liu Chuang had already arrived in front of him, and the coiling dragon stick trembled, and it stabbed out with a buzz, and the head of the stick was poking at the man's face.

This stick goes down, and there are thousands of catties of divine power.

The patrol general didn't even have time to shout, and the entire front door was sunken by Liu Chuang's stick, and his brain burst out......

The sound of iron hooves still alarmed the patrolmen in the granary.

They came out of the tent one after another, and before they could even see their opponents clearly, they were greeted with a storm of slaughter.

Liu Yong and Guan Hai are one left and one right, like two killing gods.

Everywhere he passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and stumps and severed arms were scattered all over the ground.

Liu Yong is better, the iron spear is only used to assassinate, and the reaper is the other party's life. But Na Guan Hai had some bad taste, and the person who died under his knife did not have a complete corpse. Eighteen people who followed the two of them also went on a killing spree, watching when they met people, killing people when they met, and after a while, the blood flowed in this granary, and the patrolmen who came to their senses had no intention of resisting, and fled in all directions like ghosts crying wolves.

Liu Chuang took nine people and kept throwing the brazier at the grain stack.

The mountain-like stack of grain soon burst into flames, illuminating the dark sky.

"Uncle Hai, don't be in love, let's go."

Liu Chuang saw that the fire had already risen, and was worried that Xiang Ben would send soldiers and horses, so he shouted and rushed out of the gate with people. Liu Yong and Guan Hai no longer fell in love with each other, and let out a whistle, and all the tribes rushed out of the gate with the two of them, and quickly disappeared into the pitch-black wilderness.

The granary of Xiangben has been surrounded by flames......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This sudden attack took Xiangben County by surprise.

When he arrived at the granary, the fire was still raging, and the corpses were all over his body, which was even more shocking. The fire was so great that it could not be extinguished at all, and half of the grain and grass, that is, 1,500 stone of grain, was swallowed up by the raging flames and cleaned.

"Who did it?"

"County Zun, I don't know...... Those people did not leave any clues, they came here suddenly, cut down when they met, killed them when they met, and then set a fire and quickly evacuated. I humbly thought that those people were not ordinary bandits, but more like well-trained officers and soldiers. ”

"Officers and soldiers?"

The county commander was so angry that he raised his whip and whipped it on the patrolman, "You are a fucking officer!" ”

But it had happened, and he couldn't blame his subordinates too much.

"Someone, report to Tan County quickly, just say that Xiangben has been attacked, the enemy situation is unknown, please come to reinforcements quickly."

After the prefectural order was ordered, he ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

However, there were no traces left at this scene, which made him feel a headache.

An adjutant stepped forward to offer advice: "County Zun, looking at this group of thieves, it is definitely not a mountain bandit, do you think it will be someone over there?" ”

He pointed to the west, and the prefectural order reacted immediately.

Lu Bu was stationed in Pei County.

Pei County, on the other hand, is just west of Donghai County......

The county order can't take care of the investigation at this time, and if such a big thing happens, he must always give an explanation to the upper peak. I heard that the three generals who stayed in Xiapi and Lu Bu were not particularly harmonious, and Lu Bu was known for being ungrateful, so he had to be burdened with this trouble.

Thinking of this, the county commander no longer hesitated, and immediately sent a second messenger to Tan County to report the news.

Lu Bu of Pei County led his troops to invade Xiangben last night and set fire to Xiangben's granary...... The distance between Xiangben and Tan County is not too far, so soon, Tan County got the news that Xiangben granary was attacked. This is a fucking strategic material, although the quantity is not much, but it is a big deal.

So, the county magistrate of Tanxian County quickly sent people to the other side of Shushui, and after finding Elfang, he told the news of the attack on Xiangben grain and grass.
