Chapter 357 The Third Bullet of the Battle of Jizhou (Eleven) 4/5(1/2)
Liu Chuang stayed in Xiangping for three days before deciding to return to Yanjing.
Guan Hai's health did not improve any better. After taking Wu Pu's two medicines, he only recovered a lot of his mind.
At noon the next day after Liu Chuang left, he suddenly summoned Tian Shao in the prefect's mansion.
Tian Shao didn't know what Guan Hai had to ask him for, but the prefect of a county called him, so he naturally could not refuse. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. Yes, Tian Shao was a great tycoon in Liaodong. His family had thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of servants and guests. But in the eyes of the government, this was nothing at all. Without a background, he was always a weakness of Tian Shao, which made him not have enough confidence to fight against the government.
"The Lord of the Mansion calls Shaolai, I wonder what orders are there?"
After Tian Shao came to the government office, he respectfully saluted Guan Hai.
Guan Hai's complexion was not very good, and he looked very tired.
He rubbed his temples and signaled Tian Shao to sit down.
"Duke Shao, I invite you here today, and I have something to discuss with you."
"Please give me instructions."
"The General left yesterday and was in a hurry.
This time he came to Liaodong, mainly two things... First, the general was visiting my illness; second, the general and Cao Cao are about to use troops, and they need a lot of food and grass. Although Youzhou has a bumper harvest this year, it has increased by nearly 200,000 people in the past year.
In addition, Jizhou's vitality has not recovered, so a large amount of food and grass needs to be mobilized from Youzhou to provide relief.
As a result, the food and grass on the front line were a little scarce... As for Bingzhou, it was a blessing to be able to be self-sufficient, and it was impossible to draw food and grass at all. Therefore, the general decided to draw 500,000 hu of food and grass from Sanhan and Goguryeo to support the supply of food and grass in front. In the past two days, the food and grass will be sent to Xiangping, but the cattle and horse carriage in my hand is seriously insufficient... I heard that Shaogong, your cattle and horse carriage is quite abundant, and I wonder if you can borrow 3,000 vehicles to use it with me? This is related to the war in the front line. If possible, Yu Shaogong is a great achievement."
It turned out to be borrowing a cattle, horse and carriage!
Tian Shao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but his face showed a look of embarrassment.
"There are probably a lot of three thousand cattle and horse carriages.
The cattle and carriages I can find urgently now are at most 1,200. If there are more, I may have to be transferred from other places."
"Then let's get some adjustments. Try to make up as much as possible."
"Here!"
Tian Shao bowed and accepted the order and prepared to say goodbye to Guan Hai.
But I knew that there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
"The boss, it's not good, it's not good!"
Chang Sheng jogged in from outside with a panic expression, and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "What happened to the boss!"
Guan Hai's face darkened, "What are you shouting around? What a master... How many times have you said this? Why don't you remember?"
"Master, Master!"
Changsheng quickly changed his words and said in a panic: "My Lord, something happened."
"What happened?"
"big……"
Chang Sheng had just spoken, but found Tian Shao sitting aside. He quickly closed his mouth, ran to Guan Hai, and whispered in his ear.
Tian Shao clasped his ears and listened with his ears.
But Changsheng's voice was so small that Tian Shao didn't hear it very seriously.
He vaguely heard words like "explosion", "injured", "unconscious" and "unconscious"... but he didn't know that Guan Hai's face changed drastically after hearing this, and he grabbed Changsheng's arm, "Don't joke like this with me, how could this explosion happen?"
He said that he realized that he had missed his words. He hurriedly looked at Tian Shao.
"Duke Shao, you go back first.
Please worry more about the vehicle."
Tian Shao was planning to stay and find out the news, but since Guan Hai issued the order to expel the guest, he couldn't continue to stay.
He quickly said goodbye and got up and walked out.
But I vaguely heard Guan Hai ask: "How come it explodes?"
"I don't know either... It seems that when the general... was about to cross the river, he exploded.
...I didn't wake up and was returning to Xiangping. Yuanfu and Xiping accompanied him to protect him... It was very serious!"
When Tian Shao walked out of the Yatang, he could no longer hear the conversation between Guan Hai and Changsheng.
His mind started to spin rapidly, and while walking slowly, he was thinking about the conversation between Changsheng and Guan Hai just now.
explode?
What explosion?
Could it be...
At this moment, Guan Hai hurried over from behind with Changsheng.
Tian Shaogang was about to shout, but saw Guan Hai and Chang Shengli ignore him and rushed out of the gate of the government office like a gust of wind.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of hooves gradually drifted away!
Tian Shao couldn't help but feel moved...

When he returned to the mansion, Tian Shao headed straight to the west cross courtyard.
"Wen Tian, why are you here?"
"I have something very important to report to Duting Hou, and please be kind."
"Oh, please wait!"
The person guarding outside the Xiqian Courtyard nodded and turned around and entered the courtyard. After a while, he came out again and bowed to invite Tian Shao in.
Tian Shao followed the man into the yard and headed straight to the middle hall.
In the middle hall, two men were talking.
An old man and a young man were killing fiercely.
"Mr. Wenhe, Mr. Peng!"
After seeing the two of them, Tian Shao quickly bowed and bowed.
The young man still looked down at the expectation and thought hard.
The old man raised his head and nodded slightly at Tian Shao, "Wen Tian, please sit down quickly."
A follower hurriedly brought a chair, and as soon as Tian Shao's butt fell, he said impatiently: "Mr. Wenhe, something big happened!"
"oh?"
"Just just now, Guan Hai asked me to find three thousand cattle and horse carriages for him, saying that he would send five thousand stones of grain from Sanhan and Goguryeo in two days, and then sent it to Yanjing. When I left, I suddenly saw Changsheng running in and talked to Guan Hai in a panic. Their voices were very small, and I couldn't hear them very seriously. After that, Guan Hai hurriedly took Changsheng away, and even ignored me and he greeted him."
The old man's eyes flashed.
If Liu Chuang were here, he would definitely be able to identify that the young man was Cao Peng.
And this old man is Jia Xu...
Jia Xu showed a warm smile and said warmly: "What did Weng Tian hear?"
“I only vaguely heard the words ‘explosion’ and ‘unconscious’.
Judging from Guan Hai and the others' appearance when they left, it is likely that when Liu Chuang crossed the river last night, an explosion occurred in the team, and Liu Chuang was unconscious."
"oh?"
Cao Peng suddenly raised his head, looked bright and asked in a deep voice: "Wen Tian, what you said seriously?"
"This...I'm just guessing.
However, when I came back, I had sent someone to inquire about the news. I also asked someone to go to Xinchang to inquire about the situation and see if Liu Chuang took away the thunder fire from Xinchang that day before he left."
Jia Xu's face was even more smiling.
"Wen Tian is indeed meticulous... Well, what you said is very likely.
Why not do this? You can continue to inquire about this matter and find out when will the 500,000 hu of grain and grass be sent to Xiangping?"
Tian Shao quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Mr. Wenhe, I'll go inquire now."
As soon as Tian Shao left, Cao Peng pushed open the chessboard.
"Youth Student, what are you doing?"
"I'll ask Prince Tai. If Tianlei Fire is not assembled, it will explode?"
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "You performed very well just now when Tian Shao was there. But why can't he calm down when he left?"
"I……"
"Friends, this time we are in the name of the lord to inquire about the secrets of Tianlei Fire.
After sacking the power of the nine ox and two tigers, from Yanjing to Liaoxi, from Liaoxi to Liaodong, there were finally some clues. Now, Liu Chuang suddenly had an accident. It was quite a sudden. If this matter was true, it would naturally be a good thing; but what if it was fake?"
Cao Peng was so excited that he was chilling, "Then aren't we..."
