In the commander's tent.
Wang Xiong's dignity is like a prison.
Liao Hua and Lu Su were under immense pressure.
"Zijing."
Wang Xiong closed the bamboo slip and examined it." I heard that Tao Gongzu defeated Cao Mengde, and Yanzhou was captured by Zhang Miao, Lu Bu, and Chen Gong. What do you think Yanzhou will do?"”
"Nothing will happen."
Lu Su said respectfully," Lu Bu is brave but not resourceful. Zhang Miao is a greedy person. Cao Cao will take back Yanzhou in two months or half a year."”
"What about Xuzhou?"
Wang Xiong raised his eyebrows.
Lu Su smiled bitterly." Before I went on a business trip, I heard that Prefecture Overseer Tao was seriously ill. He gave his authority to Liu Xuande three times. I believe that when I return to Linhuai, Xuzhou will fall into Liu Bei's hands!"”
"Oh?"
"What do you think of Liu Bei?" Wang Xiong asked again.”
"Ancestor Wind!"
Lu Su's eyes were filled with solemnity.
Liu Bei was too much like Liu Bang.
A middle-aged man with a heart full of benevolence and unyielding will. If it was as he expected, he would definitely become an existence that dominated a region in the future.
"Where's Yuan Shu?"
Wang Xiong chuckled.
Lu Su bowed and said," This person is very ambitious. His troops are in Huainan and looting in Runan. I'm afraid he won't last long."”
"What do you think of the Red Cliff Army?" Wang Xiong's gaze was sharp as he said indifferently.”
"Hmm?"
Lu Su was shocked.
"Yuan Shu, Cao Cao even dares to comment, so why should we be afraid of the Red Cliff Army?"”
"Phew."
Lu Su took a deep breath and bowed.""General, you are awe-inspiring in Yuzhang. The generals under you are strict and have a fierce aura. You will definitely dominate Jiangdong!”
"Not bad."
Liao Hua shouted proudly.
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
Wang Xiong knocked on the table and said lightly,"I heard that Sun Ce, the son of the Tiger of Jiangdong, was a martial artist in Huainan and helped Yuan Shu conquer Lujiang. What do you think of this person?”
"Sun…!"
"Sun Ce is nothing to be afraid of."
Lu Su's scalp went numb. He gritted his teeth and said," This person is only Yuan Shu's subordinate, Xiao Hu. Even Yuan Gonglu lost his power, let alone a general like him!”
"Is that so?"
Wang Xiong's eyes were like knives.
It was as if he could split open his chest and look straight at his heart.
"My humble opinion."
Lu Su felt the pressure and replied hoarsely.
"Swoosh."
Wang Xiong stood up and walked in front of Lu Su, saying indifferently: "How much food did you bring this time? The Red Cliff Army will buy it at market price!”
"Really?"
Lu Su raised his head and said in surprise.
Wang Xiong waved his hand and smiled faintly." Money needs to be transferred from the sea. You go down and discuss the price with Yuan Jian. It's not a matter of selling the grain, right?”
"Here."
Lu Su said respectfully.
"Let's go."
Liao Hua's gaze was calm as he walked out of the commander's tent.
"Zijing."
Wang Xiong returned to his marshal's seat and stared at the backs of the two people outside the tent, saying lightly: "Jiangdong is dangerous, and the foreign powers are fighting each other. I thought Sun Ce had the intention to dominate this place!”
"Boom!"
Lu Su's mind was buzzing.
He staggered forward.
At this moment.
The red sun was rising.
The scattering golden light dispersed the thick fog on the river surface.
Lu Su's green robe was soaked in cold sweat, and it was exceptionally cold when the river wind blew.
"Mr. Zijing."
Liao Hua looked at the dazed figure and shouted.
"Gulp."
Lu Su swallowed his saliva and looked back at the closed commander's tent. He said dryly,""General Wang is dignified and has the bearing of a whale swallowing the world. I was only a little frightened!”
"Of course."
Liao Hua sighed." Once upon a time, the lord was just a young man who was ignorant of the world. Ever since the old general left, he led the Red Cliff Army to this day!"”
"Yes, I am."
"He's still a teenager."
Lu Su felt extremely absurd.
Wang Xiong was eighteen years old, and Sun Ce was nineteen years old.
One was in Yuzhang, while the other had just escaped from Yuan Shu.
In comparison, Sun Ce was far inferior to Wang Xiong. What was even more terrifying was that this difference was not only in talent, but also in prestige.
Sun Ce was a young hero, while Wang Xiong was more like an emperor that could not be looked at directly.
Go to the ferry.
Bags of food were moved down.
The corn and beans were stacked separately and weighed.
Lu Su and Liao Hua only finished counting the rations at noon.
"General."
Lu Su counted the grain and said," This time, we have transported 1000 dan of grain. The market price is 200 gold coins, so the total is 200,000 gold coins!”
"Not much."
Liao Hua nodded." I'll send a message to Hai Hun right now and ask the Ministry of Revenue to send the money over. It might take ten days, so you might have to spend the New Year in River East."”
"No worries."
Lu Su bowed and said.
"Does your Linhuai Lu Clan have a lot of grain?" Liao Hua asked abruptly.”
"Not much."
Lu Su smiled and said," The clan has two large granaries. Each granary can hold three thousand dan. Adding on this year's new grain, we can sell it for about five thousand dan!”
"Oh?"
Liao Hua's eyes lit up.
Yuzhang was pacified.
The Red Cliff Army also gave the people land.
However, after recruiting 20,000 soldiers, the Ministry of Revenue's finances were tight. If they wanted to collect the grain tax, they would have to wait until next autumn.
Thus, the military rations weren't plentiful.
Huang Qi wrote letters to scold him every day for eating too much food.
"You still want to buy food?"
Lu Su could not help but ask.
Liao Hua nodded and said in a deep voice," I'll send a message to Hai Hun and have someone come over to discuss with you. When the time comes, you have to give us a cheaper price."”
Lu Su looked in the direction of the commander's tent in confusion and asked,""Can't the general make the decision?"
"Sure."
Liao Hua shook his head." However, the Red Cliff Army has strict discipline. There are people in charge of the grain and taxes, so the lord will not interfere in these matters."”
"Alright."
Lu Su nodded in agreement.
