Journey to the West: Swallowed the Transformation Pill at the beginning

Chapter 231 Zhang Xiu was ordered to press grain

After listening to Liu Ming's words, Guo Jia spit out a sip of wine, "Even if you are prepared for danger in times of peace, you are too worried. This is a state. If the lord conquers another state capital, wouldn't you have to worry about it? die!"

"There is Yuan Shao in the west, Cao Cao in the south, and Gongsun Zan in the north!"

Liu Ming rubbed his head and said, "These people are not easy to deal with. Even if Gongsun Bogui and his eldest brother are friends, who knows how long this friendship can last!"

Listening to Liu Ming's words, Guo Jia's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.

At this moment, Liu Ming stood up and walked out.

"What are you going to do?"

Guo Jia looked at Liu Ming's actions and asked curiously, "How many official documents are there that have not been processed?"

"I'm going to prepare some food and fodder!"

Liu Ming shook his head and said, "Although I don't know what the situation is in the other counties, brother and the others will definitely be short of food. I will prepare some more food and grass and send it to them!"

After listening to Liu Ming's words, Guo Jia shook his head, stood up, walked to Liu Ming's seat, and continued to attend to official duties.

In the granary, the grain officer accompanied Liu Ming and counted the grain and grass in the treasury.

"Sir, there are currently [-] dans of grain stored in the government treasury." The grain officer said while looking at the account book. "If the grain stored in the state treasury is really transferred to support other counties, the maximum amount can be transferred to [-] dans."

"Fifty thousand dan!"

Liu Ming sighed and said, "Beihai County should not be able to use it for the time being. The remaining [-] dan will be sent to Qi County by Zhang Xiu in three days, so that my elder brother can dispatch them."

After listening to Liu Ming's words, the grain officer said worriedly, "Prefect Liu, although you have a good relationship with the lord, if you adjust the grain without the order of the state shepherd, I'm afraid that both your head and the villain's head will be in danger!"

"I understand this!"

Liu Ming said calmly, "Don't worry, as long as there is no shortage of food and grass in the treasury, there will be no future troubles!"

"That's easy for you to say!"

The grain officer whispered, "How can we replenish [-] tons of grain in such a short time!"

Liu Ming shook his head, and was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.

"Public power, public power!"

Hearing the noise, Liu Ming immediately turned around and saw Sun Qian coming over with a roll of documents in his hand.

"Gongyou, what happened?"

Liu Ming had a bad premonition in his heart, and Sun Qian stopped and said, "My lord, please give me an order and ask if we can drop another batch of grain and grass here and send it to Qi County!"

"The order is coming!"

Liu Ming turned to the grain officer beside him and said, "Immediately transfer [-] loads of official grain and send it to Qi County."

"Impressive order!"

The grain officer immediately saluted and asked people to prepare for the harvesting of grain and grass.

Liu Ming immediately started chatting with Sun Qian, "Gongyou, does the lord have any other requests? Regarding the money and silk, do you need..."

"This is not required!"

Sun Qian said quickly, "The message from Wen Ruo said that we only need a batch of grain and grass and nothing else."

Liu Ming nodded, and then said worriedly, "Now that Qingzhou is a state, I don't know if these [-] dans of grain and grass will be a drop in the bucket or can solve the crisis."

After listening to Liu Ming's words, Sun Qian sighed and said, "By the way, there is new news from Yanzhou."

"But what did Cao Cao do?"

Liu Ming frowned. The Confucian incarnation had already told him that Cao Cao seemed kind but he was also a tycoon. He must not be ignored, otherwise there would be great chaos. "It's not a big deal!"

Sun Qian said nonchalantly, "Cao Cao and his men are recruiting the Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou County, but unlike us, Cao Cao will take them all under his command, regardless of whether they are good or evil."

After listening to Sun Qian's words, Liu Ming immediately calculated, "The Yellow Turban Army in Yanzhou is at least around 60 including family members. There are at least [-] young soldiers who can fight. If Cao Cao can really conquer it, The military strength will be equal to ours. As for the generals under Cao Cao, most of them are at the master level, and there are also a few masters who are suspected of becoming martial saints."

"Public power, public power!"

Sun Qian couldn't help but said, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, it seems that our enemies are getting more and more!"

Liu Ming sighed, "I just don't know who can be our number one enemy, Yuan Shao from Jizhou or Cao Cao from Yanzhou. By the way, what are Gongyou, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and Sun Ce doing?"

"How else!"

Sun Qian said angrily, "It's better to work on your own one-third of an acre. Tao Qian is already old and his two sons are useless. I just don't know who will fall into the hands of Xuzhou in the future."

"It's best if it falls into our hands!"

Liu Minglue said with depression, "It's a pity that Xuzhou is undefeated. We lack generals and tactics. If we get Xuzhou, we won't be able to defend it!"

The two of them left the food and grass camp while communicating.

Three days later, Zhang Xiu, with a thousand cavalry, a thousand crossbowmen and two thousand infantry under his command, drove the grain and fodder convoy out of Pingyuan County with a depressed look on his face.

"You're going to have to deal with me alone, why can't you let that guy Taemin go?"

Zhang Xiu complained silently, but the vigilance in his eyes did not weaken at all.

After traveling for several days, Zhang Xiu's troops had already left Jibei County, and would soon enter the territory of Qi County.

"General!"

A general walked to Zhang Xiu's side and asked, "It's almost noon, but brothers need to fix it on the spot."

Zhang Xiu nodded, "Okay, there is a river not far from here, let's go there and set up camp!"

The deputy general received the order and immediately led everyone forward.

But at this moment, Zhang Xiu's expression suddenly changed, "No, someone is approaching, everyone..."

Before he finished speaking, rows of arrows fell from the sky, heading straight towards the army.

The troops under Zhang Xiu immediately waved their weapons to resist the arrows.

The next moment, a group of men in armor rushed out and headed straight for Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses.

The two leaders were tall and strong, both of them were strong men, but their appearance was very ugly.

"Grandmaster, no, stronger than any grandmaster I have ever seen!"

Zhang Xiu felt the opponent's cultivation, and his face darkened. He was sure that the strength of the other two was still higher than that of his uncle Zhang Ji. Could it be that these two were martial saints.

"Bold, who are you two? You dare to commit robberies in Qingzhou!"

After listening to Zhang Xiu's words, one of the two big men said disdainfully, "Boy, who are you? Just hand over your food and grass obediently, and maybe you can still survive. Otherwise, today next year will be your death!"

Just as Zhang Xiu was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly sounded, "You are Cao Cao's people, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ming fell from the sky and stopped directly in front of the two of them.

"Boy, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Another big man couldn't help but said, "I'm just waiting for food and grass..."

"The ancient evil comes Dian Wei and the tiger idiot Xu Chu!"

Liu Ming broke the identities of the two of them and said, "The two captains of Cao Mengde's personal guards will come to my Qingzhou at the same time. Why, your Yanzhou is so short of food and food!"

Listening to Liu Ming's verbal difficulties, the two big men blushed, but they didn't know what to say.
