Hwa Xiong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and casually signed it.
He tossed the note lightly to the pale-faced grain store owner.
"This is the IOU I gave to your grain store. When I have more money, I will naturally replenish the food for you.”
Hwa Xiong said a few more words to the grain store owner before leaving.
The boss gritted his teeth as he looked at Hwa Xiong's back. He stomped his feet and jogged away.
……
Now Dong Zhuo held great power, and Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, was like a puppet.
Every day, the court affairs were carried out in the Grand Preceptor's Residence.
When Hwa Xiong arrived, there were already many officials and generals standing in the hall.
They stood in twos and threes and chatted.
The generals in the court were all from the Western Liang Army.
Hwa Xiong had already offended Lu Bu, Niu Fu, and the others, so the generals were unwilling to accept him.
The civil officials naturally did not get along with the generals, so no one paid attention to Hwa Xiong.
Hwa Xiong stood there by himself, feeling quite relaxed.
At this moment, two strange voices suddenly sounded from the side.
"Hwa Xiong, you said you don't have provisions, how can you train your soldiers?”
"Hehe, in my opinion, in two days, your 50,000 soldiers will all run away.”
Niu Fu's subordinates, Li Jue and Guo Si, spoke.
Previously, the two of them saw that Hwa Xiong was favored by Dong Zhuo, so they tried their best to curry favor with him.
However, Niu Fu had been humiliated by Hwa Xiong yesterday, so the two of them immediately mocked Hwa Xiong and drew a clear line between them.
"You don't have to worry about that. I've already solved the food problem.”
Hwa Xiong said with a smile.
"Tsk, bragging without a draft."
"If I were you, I would quickly apologize to General Niu Fu. Otherwise, you can forget about training.”
"That's right."
The generals mocked Hwa Xiong.
They didn't believe that Hwa Xiong had already solved the problem of rations.
Lu Bu, who was listening to everyone's mockery, couldn't help but gloat.
At this moment, a few servants suddenly walked in from outside.
They whispered a few words into Niu Fu, Li Jue, and Guo Si's ears.
The generals were shocked.
"What did you say?"
" The grain store was raided?!"
"Who did it?"
A few servants stole a glance at Hwa Xiong and said," It was Hwa Xiong who led the team to raid the shop!”
The generals of the Western Liang Army were instantly furious.
They were just wondering why Hwa Xiong was so confident when he said that the food had been taken care of.
So they had raided all their grain stores!
"Hwa Xiong, you…you've gone too far!”
Niu Fu's hands trembled, and his eyes were about to spew fire.
"F * ck your grandmother, Hwa Xiong!"
"How dare you touch our shop? Do you want to die?!”
The generals of the Western Liang Army gritted their teeth in anger.
If looks could kill, Hwa Xiong would have been cut into pieces by them long ago!
Lu Bu finally understood the situation.
Looking at Hwa Xiong, who had become the public enemy, he smiled coldly.
"Hwa Xiong, aren't you going too far by snatching it like this?!”
"Fengxian, you can't talk nonsense. When did I openly snatch it?”
Hwa Xiong said innocently.
"That's obviously a loan. I wrote an IOU.”
"Now that the Wolf Army is short of food, I will borrow some from the three major grain stores and return it later.”
Why are you borrowing food!
The generals looked at Hwa Xiong angrily, their hearts bleeding.
They were not fools.
This so-called borrowing of grain was like beating a dog with meat buns. There was no return!
"Just you wait. When the Grand Preceptor arrives, I will definitely report this to him and punish you severely!”
Niu Fu said angrily!
Hwa Xiong only chuckled.
Not long after, Dong Zhuo came to the main hall with the help of several female servants and sat on the bed in the middle.
"Reporting to Grand Preceptor, I want to report Hua Xiong for being lawless and using the Wolf Guards to seize the grain store!”
Niu Fu said in exasperation.
"Yes, I want to report it too."
"Me too!"
Li Jue, Guo Si, and the others all said.
They had thought that Dong Zhuo would take this matter seriously since so many people had reported it at the same time.
But to their surprise, Dong Zhuo only nodded and said slowly,
"I know."
Then, there was no more.
Just this?
Niu Fu and the others looked at each other.
"Grand Preceptor, are you not planning to punish Hwa Xiong?”
Lu Bu couldn't help but ask.
Dong Zhuo smiled coldly and looked at Niu Fu and the others.
Their hearts sank.
"Punish Hwa Xiong? He is a great hero, why should I punish him?”
"If it wasn't for him, how would I know that Niu Fu and the others had so much food in their hands?”
Niu Fu panicked and stammered," Grand Preceptor, we didn't store any food.”
"Do you think I'm a fool? Aren't the three great grain stores run by you?”
Dong Zhuo slammed the table and roared.
Niu Fu and the others were silent out of fear, not daring to say a word.
Only then did they understand.
No wonder Hwa Xiong was so fearless and dared to send people to raid their grain store. It turned out that he had Dong Zhuo's support!
Dong Zhuo's face darkened.
"Since it's your first offense, I won't pursue it.”
Dong Zhuo looked at Hwa Xiong, his expression softening.
"Hwa Xiong, since you've made a contribution, I'll give you a portion of the food we confiscated as rations for the wolf army.”
"Thank you for your reward, Grand Preceptor."
Hwa Xiong smiled and cupped his hands.
After he finished looting the grain from the three grain stores, he sent it to Dong Zhuo's residence.
The Western Liang army was short of food and fodder. The food that Dong Zhuo had received was enough to feed the Western Liang army for a year and a half.
Dong Zhuo would naturally defend Hwa Xiong.
Looking at the smug Hwa Xiong, Niu Fu and the others were about to explode from anger, but there was nothing they could do.
Lu Bu gritted his teeth in anger.
Why was Hwa Xiong always so lucky to escape punishment?
Hwa Xiong didn't care about their jealousy at all.
He winked at Wang Yun, who was not far away, and the two of them smiled knowingly.
……
After Hwa Xiong left the Grand Preceptor Residence, he headed straight for the military camp.
"How did it go?"
Once they entered the military camp, Hwa Xiong hurriedly asked Gao Shun.
"Reporting to General, the provisions have been arranged properly.”
Hwa Xiong instructed Gao Shun to take a portion of the grain after the inspection and give the rest to Dong Zhuo.
"Not only was the general not punished, he was even rewarded by the Grand Preceptor. The wolf army still has enough food. General, killing three birds with one stone, what a divine plan!”
Gao Shun could not help but sigh.
"Why don't you take a look at who I am?"
Hwa Xiong smiled proudly.
Even if they didn't give Dong Zhuo any food, the food that Hwa Xiong asked Gao Shun to keep was enough to feed the Wolf Army for a year.
From this, one could see how much Niu Fu and the others had gone overboard.
Without the worry of rations, Hwa Xiong began to consider the issue of weapons.
Weapons were different from grain.
No matter how good or bad the grain was, as long as it could fill their stomachs, it was fine.
The quality of weapons was related to the combat strength and survival of soldiers.
Hwa Xiong didn't want his men to die in vain, so he had to be careful when it came to weapons.
