Cao Cao shouted at the top of his voice, not rushing forward, and marched thirty miles a day to rest early.

However, Liu Bei of Xiaopei was very concerned. He lit up three thousand soldiers and horses, and the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang took Jian Yong as military advisor to run to Huainan.

Sun Ce went up the river and was about to bring Yuan Shu's waist and eyes. Liu Biao and others from the west also had loud voices and did not exert force.

Chen Gong personally wrote a manifesto to attack Yuan Shu, and the army gathered in Pengcheng.

Lu Bu knew the trend of historical development. According to normal circumstances, it would take nearly two years for Yuan Shu to perish after he became emperor. And he was the one who committed suicide.

Yuan Shu was strong and his real force was as high as 170,000. If he continued to develop normally, there would be hope for unifying the country. However, after he became emperor, the expenses became high. He began to exploit the people and exploit the people wantonly. The people under his rule were suffering. There were internal problems. In the end, they were destroyed by Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and others. The biggest problem was Yuan Shu himself.

Lu Bu made important arrangements, Chen Gong and Hao Meng guarded the base camp Xuzhou.

Lu Bu dispatched 6,500 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, 5,000 soldiers from Zang Ba's headquarters, 300 cavalry from Cao Xing headquarters, 1,500 infantry from Xu Sheng's headquarters, and 1,000 infantry from Liao Hua's headquarters. This lineup is also very powerful, with some strong men worth 20,000.

But the soldiers only walked from Xuzhou to Pengcheng and stopped moving forward.

Everyone is very strange, I don't know what's going on.

Zang Ba went to find Lu Bu: "Lord, why don't we leave? If we don't leave, let Sun Ce, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others take the lead."

Lu Bu pointed to the map: "Xuan Gao, take a look. Sun Ce led his army of 30,000 to attack Hefei, and Liu Bei led 3,000 troops to attack Danyang. Cao Cao's troops were not far from Puyang. Do you think Sun Ce and Liu Bei will win?"

Zang Ba shook his head: "It's probably a big deal."

"Liu Bei has to face Ji Ling's 50,000 troops along the way. Although Guan and Zhang are brave, Ji Ling is not easy to deal with. So Liu Bei will definitely fail this way. Sun Ce is willing to be a general of Yuan Shu, but Hefei is well-equipped and has enough food. Sun Ce will not be able to take advantage of it in the short term. Moreover, he has to be careful of Zhang Liao in Guangling, so these two teams will definitely be defeated. It is now early spring, and it is not too late for us to send troops again in late spring."

Lu Bu led the army to play tricks, but the army went to Pengcheng and stopped leaving. He continued to train troops, and Xuzhou continued to transport iron armor to Pengcheng.

In joint exercises, cavalry and infantry joint combat, Lu Bu often ran back to see the disciples of the martial arts hall.

That afternoon, Lu Bu came out of the martial arts hall to go home because his eldest wife Yan was about to give birth.

As soon as he walked on the road, Mi Hong came, crying so hard that his nose and tears grew longer. He knelt down when he saw Lu Bu.

"Please make the decision for our caravan. In Jinan County, the local tyrants robbed the horses, six hundred horses, not a single one left, and two hundred people injured six people."

Lu Bu said: "What a moral character to cry on the street? Let's go back to the military camp to discuss in detail."

It turns out that Jinan County during this period was also called Jinan Kingdom, and it was on par with local levels such as Langya and Xia Pi.

Although Jinan County is Yuan Shao's territory, it is the core of Qingzhou. The Yellow Turban Army alone has exceeded one million, so Qingzhou is considered abolished. The population of Jinan County is not even one-third of the original, and the population is withered.

It is said that such a large caravan as Mi Hong is one of the several caravans supported by Lu Bu, and it is normal to walk sideways.

But there is an exception. Mi Hong led a team to set off on the sixth day of the Chinese New Year and drove to Youzhou. Youzhou is Beijing and Liaoning. At this time, it was Gongsun Zan's territory. He soon sold the Dahan Imperial Wine, and then exchanged the iron pot for 600 horses and rushed back.

I paid taxes and fees along the way and the road was safe. Something happened when I walked to Jinan County.

The caravan is very hard, especially with so many horses, it is difficult to stay in the inn, and most of them live in tents.

Tian Mi Hong led a team to station next to the avenue west of Jinan County. There happened to be a deserted beach here, and the dry weeds were all waist-deep, making it convenient for the Huns to feed the grass.

Who knew that with a whistle, there were seven or eight hundred people coming. It was not the officers and soldiers in costumes, but the music department of a wealthy family, that is, the private armed forces.

Mi Hong's more than 200 people were squeezing out the knife, but they couldn't resist the number of people on the other side.

A black man riding a horse came across from him, with a fierce face and a scar on his face.

"I don't even look at the grave of anyone, but I cry when I come over. This is the forage from my Qin Sandao family. Are you eating it casually? The horses are confiscated and I will not be allowed to eat my forage from now on."

Mi Hong was shocked. Qin Sandao's powerful households in Jinan County never knew what reason was to do things, and they all walked sideways.

"It turns out that it's Mr. Qin, who is indifferent. Since I have eaten your grass, my caravan will pay the price. I hope Mr. Qin will give up his hands."

Qin Sandao ate raw rice, and when he came up, he slapped Mi Hong's face with five handprints.

"I can't eat my grass just by saying that you can eat it, the horses have been detained."

Mi Hong said with a waist knife: "My Mi family caravan is not a vegetarian. The weeds in the wilderness are said to be yours, so you will be shameless."

Mi Hong and Qin Sandao fought, with only three swords, and the waist knife in his hand made people cut off.

The Mi family caravan did not have a strong hand. After a while, he injured six people. The lack of one person who could shake the scene was a big loss. The horse was robbed by Qin Sandao.

Mi Hong was in tears. This was not just a problem with six hundred horses, but also thousands of sheepskins on the horse's backs. These were all necessary supplies for Lu Bu to make armor, and they could not be explained if they were lost.

Lu Bu asked: "Didn't you say I am my Lu Bu's horse?"

"I said it, it doesn't work. Then I went to the Jinan County Yamen to report to the official. The County Magistrate Li actually said it was an economic dispute and let us resolve it on our own."

Lu Bu asked Mi Hong to go home first and decided to go over and take the horse back.

Chen Gong came: "Lord, our peace with Yuan Shao is hard-won, and we cannot easily make enemies. If you lead troops here, Yuan Shao will definitely be anxious."

"I understand this principle. Now I have had a quarrel with Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu, and it is not suitable to make enemies anymore. But horses are related to our lifeline. The combat effectiveness of cavalry is much stronger than that of infantry. Mi Hong can't spare Jinan County on the way. I don't lead the troops, so I will take a few people over and get back after picking up Qin Sandao. Then I wrote a letter to explain the matter in detail. If Yuan Shao is still angry, he will take Qingzhou."

Chen Gong thought for a while: "Okay, I'll write a letter to Yuan Shao to explain in detail what happened. The lord should not kill too many people in the past, just do the main evil."

Lu Bu grinned and said, "Okay, I try my best, I'm afraid I can't stop."

Lu Bu was a cruel man, and immediately brought five people, including two fast horses each. Mi Hong chose fifty good men and followed the group to ride horses and rush on the road.
