" Lord Prefecture Overseer, I won't beat around the bush with you. The loyal Liaodong Army has run out of rations. I hope that Lord Prefecture Overseer can lend us some rations on account of the soldiers 'bloody battles. I hope that Lord Prefecture Overseer will agree," Li Bai said to Liu Yu as he put down the wine cup in his hand.
Liu Yu thought for a moment and smiled at Li Bai."" No, no, it was my negligence. How about this, Biejia Wei, go to the granary and get 50,000 bushels of grain for Lord Li."
Then he turned to Li Bai and said,"Lord Li, what do you think?"”。
Li Bai shook his head, which made Liu Yu feel a little guilty.
"Then what does Lord Li want?"
" I want to borrow 500,000 bushels of grain from the Prefecture Overseer," Li Bai said to Liu Yu.
After hearing that, Liu Yu thought to himself," Why don't you go to hell? 500,000 bushels? It's almost as much as a year's tax in Youzhou Province."
Liu Yu shook her head and said to Li Bai," Lord Li, our Youzhou Prefecture's treasury only has less than 600,000 bushels of grains. You've taken all of them away." Li Bai pretended to think for a short while before saying to Liu Yu with a pained look," Since that's the case, then 400,000 Hu it is."
Liu Yu didn't say anything and just kept shaking her head. " 300,000 bushels. What do you think, Prefecture Overseer?" Li Bai asked again.
"Then how much can the Prefecture Overseer give?"
" At most 100,000 bushels," Liu Yu said helplessly as she looked at Li Bai.
This time, it was Li Bai's turn to shake his head." If we don't have rations, I'm afraid Bai won't be able to control those generals and soldiers. After all, they listened to my orders to save the Prefecture Overseer from danger. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and now they don't have rations. If something bad happens, I'm afraid Bai won't be able to stop them." After saying that, he sighed.
Threatening! This was a blatant threat! Liu Yu's lungs were about to explode from anger. He was a great Han Dynasty's Youzhou Prefecture Overseer, yet he was threatened by a mere prefect. This was simply unforgivable. Liu Yu cursed Li Bai in his heart, but he did not show it. After all, he had seen the combat strength of the Liaodong Army with his own eyes. He heard that they had even expanded their forces recently. Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a headache. Give it, Li Bai asked for too much, don't give it to him. Liu Yu didn't dare to think about it anymore. She just frowned and sat there without saying a word.
When Li Bai saw this, he was about to say something when someone suddenly came to report," Reporting, my lord. The five officers at the city gate have reported that about 20,000 Liaodong soldiers are lining up outside the city two miles away. The five officers are asking my lord what to do?”，When Liu Yu heard this, she was stunned. She didn't expect Li Bai to really do this. She was angry and helpless. She said to Li Bai,"Lord Li, what is the meaning of this?”。
Li Bai pretended not to know anything and shouted at Guan Hai behind him,""Boyong, do you know what's going on?”，Guan Hai also looked troubled. He stood there stammering, not knowing what to say. At this time, Li Bai turned around and said apologetically to Liu Yu,"Lord Prefecture Overseer, please don't blame me. The soldiers might hear that you have food and come to borrow some from you.”
"Boyong, go outside the city and see what's going on. They dare to send troops without my order.”，Li Bai turned around and shouted at Guan Hai.
" Oh." Guan Hai nodded, feeling wronged. He turned around and was about to leave.
Damn it, this Li Bai is too much. He actually dares to threaten me like this. He really pisses me off.
"If I kill him now, wouldn't that be…" At the thought of this, Liu Yu's face gradually revealed a ferocious expression. Just as he was about to speak to Xian Yufu beside him, another soldier came to report,"Reporting, my lord. The Liaodong Army soldiers are approaching the city walls.”，Upon hearing this, Liu Yu suddenly shivered and broke out in a cold sweat. How could he have almost forgotten about the bunch of killing gods? Forget it, his skills were inferior, so he would just give it to him to avoid getting into trouble. He raised his head and said to Li Bai," Lord Li, 300,000 bushels is too much. Let's both take a step back. How about 200,000 bushels? I really can't give you any more." After saying this, Liu Yu suddenly felt a little weak. Seeing that Liu Yu had given up, Li Bai didn't force her anymore. Alright, although it's not much, it's enough for our army to eat for a while. When we return to Liaodong, I'll immediately order people to send the food to Ji County."
" Let's go, the faster the better. I'll treat it as if I've fed my rations to the dogs." Liu Yu was so excited that she almost laughed out loud when she heard that Li Bai was leaving. She nodded with a fake smile and said," Lord Li, what are you talking about? Take these rations as a consolation to the soldiers of the Liaodong Army."
" Thank you, sir. I thank you on behalf of my 100,000-strong Liaodong Army. If you need anything in the future, I and the Liaodong Army will rush over immediately to help you," Li Bai said to Liu Yu with a smile.
Liu Yu nodded with a bitter smile. At this moment, he hoped that Li Bai would quickly return to Liaodong with the Liaodong army and sit as the Liaodong prefect. Only then would he be able to secure his position as Youzhou Prefecture Overseer. Otherwise, he would not be able to sleep at night. He hurriedly said to Wei He,"Don't drive Wei, personally go to the treasury to get 200,000 Hu of rations and send it to Lord Li."
" Yes, my lord." Wei He also smiled bitterly. He had no choice. Li Bai's fist was big. Beside him, Xianyu Fu was a little angry. However, he seemed to have learned his lesson this time and did not say anything else. He probably knew that his words were equivalent to farting and were useless. At that time, he would be scolded by Guan Hai. He only snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction. It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. One day, I, Xianyu Fu, will make you pay the price. He swore fiercely in his heart.
Unfortunately, he had forgotten that he was not a good person either. Like most people now, he only thought about how he was despised, but he did not expect that he might be more ruthless than Li Bai when bullying others.
Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, Li Bai did not stay any longer. He hurriedly bid farewell to Liu Yu and pulled Wei He to the treasury to retrieve the grain.
After Li Bai left, Xianyu Fu shouted at Liu Yu,"Milord, how dare Li Bai threaten Milord like this?"
Liu Yu glanced at him and didn't say anything. She turned around and walked into the inner hall." In the future, we must train the soldiers day and night. We must not slack off." Liu Yu paused for a moment before disappearing from the living room.
Sun Yufu nodded and clenched his fists. He glanced in the direction of Liaodong and turned to leave.
" Please don't drive," Li Bai said politely to Wei He after the food was loaded into the cart and transported outside the city.
Wei He shook his head with a bitter smile," Lord Li, you don't have to stand on ceremony. Please have a safe journey. I'll go back first." Before Li Bai could say anything, Wei He turned around and left.
" My lord!" Zhang He shouted to Li Bai excitedly as he looked at the carts of food.
Li Bai nodded and said to Zhang He,""Suyi, hurry up and bring these grains back to the camp. Tonight, all brothers will make a delicious meal to comfort everyone."
" Thank you, my lord." Zhang He was now in awe of Li Bai. He said 200,000 bushels of grain and he agreed.
"Oh right, my lord, there's something that I don't understand. Can my lord help me clear my doubts?”，Seeing Li Bai nod, Zhang He asked,"" What did my lord say to that old man Liu Yu? Why did he give my lord so much grain?"
Li Bai turned around and gave Zhang He a mysterious smile, saying,"" It's very simple. Hit him with a stick and give him a date." After saying that, he even laughed out loud. Zhang He was left alone to ponder.
