"Say that again!" Liu Bei looked at the messenger in front of him ferociously.
The messenger did not dare to look at Liu Bei. He could only stutter word by word as he replied, "Milord, that, that, that, Yu Province, Yu Province sent a letter saying that General Guan Ping's army was defeated and could not receive the provisions you sent to Yu Province!"
"Boom!" Liu Bei was really angry this time. Why did he attack Fan City in Jing Province? Wasn't it for the provisions? That batch of provisions was worth two hundred thousand shi of provisions and tens of thousands of gold coins, but now it was lost.
"Who is it?! Who robbed our provisions?!" Liu Bei's face was ferocious. Wasn't it intercepted?!
"It's, it's the White Horse of Yangzhou Army!" The messenger began to tremble.
"Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, it's you again, Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang!" Liu Bei was simply going crazy. He did not hesitate to offend Liu Biao of Jing Province, did not hesitate to go to war with Jing Province, and shed all pretense of cordiality. Wasn't it just to get involved in the Yu Province's food crisis and make a lot of money? But now, it was intercepted halfway. If it was the soldiers of Jing Province, then Liu Bei's mood would be better, but it was Liu Mang of Yangzhou. Liu Bei felt that he had worked so hard for Yangzhou for such a long time, but it was a wedding dress for someone else.
"Send out the troops, send out the troops!" Liu Bei was now almost thinking of fighting to the death with Liu Mang of Yangzhou.
"Milord, calm down, calm down!" Jian Yong came over and looked at Liu Bei with a bitter smile. He also just learned the news. Jian Yong had not told Liu Bei yet. Nearly ten thousand soldiers of Yu Province were lost, and only two thousand soldiers of the Qingzhou Army ran back. Guan Ping was also unconscious. If this news was told to Liu Bei, Liu Bei would jump up in anger.
"Milord, Milord, that batch of provisions is only a small part of what we have here. We still have a large part!" Jian Yong comforted Liu Bei.
"What do you know!" Liu Bei was going crazy. Who could understand the suffering of Liu Bei? Liu Bei was the scapegoat. He, Liu Bei, was playing with fire. Now, everyone in Jing Province hated him to the bones. Liu, Liu Bei. In the end, the fruit was plucked by someone, even if it was only a small part of the fruit.
"Milord!" Jian Yong didn't know how to comfort him. That batch of provisions was only two hundred thousand. There was still more than half of it in the city. As long as this batch of provisions was transported back, Yu Province could still develop.
"My lord, the troops from Jing Province have already gathered in Xiangyang. The troops from Yangzhou are also on their way! This is the information from the frontlines! " Jian Yong could only divert Liu Bei's attention. Otherwise, Liu Bei would go crazy if he continued to dwell on this issue.
Liu Bei picked up Jian Yong's report and became even angrier. "Five thousand soldiers! Five thousand soldiers! Yangzhou sent five thousand soldiers! " This was blatant disdain. According to the report, Xinye sent five thousand soldiers on foot. What kind of Yiyang soldiers were these? Weren't they Liu Mang's famous soldiers? They were really looking down on Liu Bei.
In Fan City, Liu Bei had gathered thirty thousand soldiers in a short period of time. Fifteen thousand of them were the Xiliang Cavalry and the rest were the second line of defense.
If Yangzhou really sent five thousand soldiers, Liu Bei could even pull out his troops to fight in the field. The ability of the Xiliang Cavalry would be determined in one battle.
"Milord, this report is not accurate!" Jian Yong did not agree. Although this information was obtained from the front line, it was easy to miss. This was because some troops were too mobile. For example, White Horse Following Righteousness. They came and went without a trace. It was impossible to find out where they were.
"Hmph! Come on! Liu Mang, Liu Hanyang, you took my things. I want you to spit them out and pay me back double! "Liu Bei was full of fighting spirit. An awe-inspiring aura rose. Jian Yong could not help but nod. This was the temperament of a careerist.
Just when Liu Bei was in high spirits, another messenger ran in. "Reporting to Milord, the Jingyang Alliance has sent an envoy to discuss with Milord!"
"Envoy?" Liu Bei did not want to send an envoy to refuse. They were about to meet on the battlefield.
Jian Yong made the decision. "Let the envoy in!"
"Yes, Milord!" The messenger nodded and left.
"Milord, why don't you ask the envoy to talk about the situation in Jingyang?" Jian Yong was in charge of intelligence. Naturally, he would not let go of any information.
Soon, a middle-aged man with the banner of an envoy was brought in by Liu Bei's soldiers.
Upon seeing the envoy, Liu Bei immediately snorted. "Is there no one else in your Yangzhou? You actually sent such an old man!" This was simply a slip of the tongue.
However, the envoy from the Jingzhou Alliance did not respond. "Manager Guan Shao of the Yangzhou General Commerce Office greets Lord Liu Bei, Governor of Yuzhou!" The envoy bowed to Liu Bei and Jian Yong.
"What?" Liu Bei and Jian Yong were stunned. They did not care about anything else.
"Who did you say sent you?" Liu Bei widened his eyes and asked the messenger. "Honestly speaking, if there is any falsehood, you won't be able to return to Jingzhou!" Although envoys were not killed in a war, it was fine as long as it was kept a secret.
The old man was calm. He bowed to Liu Bei and Jian Yong. "Manager Guan Shao of the Yangzhou General Commerce Office greets Lord Liu Bei, Governor of Yuzhou."
"Mi Zhu is Mi Zizhong?" Liu Bei's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Yes!" The old man nodded.
"Good, good! I knew it! Mi Zhu and Mi Zizhong are traitors! "Liu Bei suddenly laughed. He was extremely angry.
"Mi Zhu? Mi Zizhong?" Jian Yong smiled bitterly. You said you wouldn't come late, but you didn't come at this time.
Mi Zhu and Mi Zizhong. At that time, Jian Yong was still defending Mi Zhu. Now, Jian Yong realized that this Guan Shao was Old Guan of the Mi Family.
"Mi Zhu and Mi Zizhong!" Liu Bei gnashed his teeth. He had wronged his loyal minister Sun Qian and almost sent someone to investigate him. Now, in Liu Bei's mind, Sun Qian was completely loyal to him.
"Speak! Why did Mi Zhu send you here?" This was a slap in the face. Liu Bei had claimed that Mi Fang died in battle and his sister died of grief. Now that Mi Zhu had sided with Liu Mang, Mi Fang and Lady Mi were definitely not dead. This was a slap in the face.
"The Marquis of Guangzhou sent me here to express his gratitude to Lord Liu Yuzhou!"
"The Guangzhou Marquis!" This was a county marquis. This title was almost on par with Liu Bei's.
This Guan Shao was completely here to draw hatred.
"There's no need to thank me. There's more!" Liu Bei suppressed his displeasure.
"Secondly, I want to ask Lord Liu Yuzhou if the Zhang family's descendants, Governor Song Zhong, and his subordinates can be redeemed!" This was Guan Shao's purpose.
