Lu Bu led his troops into the Taoist temple in the mountains and headed straight for the place where Liu Xiongming had hidden his food and grass.

At this time, the Taoist temple in the mountains had been burned to ashes by the Yellow Turban Army. It was in ruins and ruins. Fortunately, there was not much vegetation next to the location where the Taoist temple was built. Instead, it was mostly barren hills and slopes, filled with mud and debris.

Otherwise, if a forest fire really occurs, it will only harm the local people.

Lu Bu assigned three thousand men to Gaoshun and asked him to search for the grain and fodder left by the Yellow Turban thieves outside the valley. Then he personally led his men into the valley and took out the grain and fodder left in the valley.

After some sorting and counting, Lu Bu found that the total amount of grain seized was only 20,000 shi.

Lu Bu became angry on the spot.

"Didn't you say there were two hundred thousand stones of grain and fodder? Why are there so few left? Where are the people in this Taoist temple? Where are they all? Catch one of them and ask!"

Song Xian hurriedly said: "Marquis Wen, there is no one in the Taoist temple. There are only burnt corpses on the ground. It seems that when the Yellow Turban Army attacked the valley, the people in the Taoist temple either died or ran away. Now there is no one alive."

There are people..."

Lu Bu's face looked uncertain. After standing there for a while, he suddenly turned around and walked out of the valley.

Not long after, Lu Bu led a group of wolf riders to catch up with Liu Qi's team that was moving to the military camp.

At this moment, all units of the Jingzhou Army were escorting prisoners of war, and they were careful along the way. After all, there were more than 10,000 newly surrendered soldiers, which was still a very large number.

Of course, Liu Qi had previously taken in more than ten thousand people in Shanyue, so it was not difficult for Liu Qi to take in the Yellow Turban rebels this time.

You only need to roughly copy the previous experience and routines.

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu is here!" Gan Ning rode up from behind and whispered to Liu Qi: "It seems that there is not much food in the mountains."

Liu Qi smiled casually and said, "What does it have to do with me?"

At that moment, Liu Qi ordered Pang De and Gan Ning to continue urging the three armies to march, while he himself led a thousand soldiers and turned to meet Lu Bu.

When they were young, Liu Qi and Lu Bu met again.

"Marquis Wen is not harvesting grain in the valley, why do you come to me?"

Lu Bu pulled the reins of the horse, and the red rabbit horse stood on the spot, raising its front hooves and making a high-pitched whine.

"Liu Boyu, you actually plot against me?"

"Scheming against you?" Liu Qi looked puzzled: "When did I plot against Marquis Wen? Why didn't I know it myself?"

"You are still pretending! The food and fodder in the mountain Taoist temple is not even 20,000 shi, let alone 200,000 shi! You asked me to take a mere 20,000 shi of grain and grass, but you accepted more than 20,000 soldiers from the Yellow Turbans.

, do you really think Lu is easy to bully?"

Liu Qi turned to look at Dian Wei, pointed at Lu Bu and said, "Dian Jun, have you ever seen such a shameless person?"

Dian Wei grinned and said, "I've never seen it before!"

"What did you say?"

Liu Qi looked at Lu Bu helplessly: "Marquis Wen, who was the first person to propose just now that I should take away the soldiers and you should take away all the grain in the valley?"

"yes……"

"It's you!"

The smile on Liu Qi's face gradually disappeared, and his voice became cold: "Mr. Liu can see clearly that you listened to Gao Shun's advice and wanted to take over all the grain and grass in the valley in the name of me taking away the surrendered soldiers. Mm. Liu

People saw that you were raising food for the emperor, so they agreed to your request. Now that you are making trouble again, you really think Liu is easy to bully!"

After saying that, Liu Qi raised his hand and said: "Jing Wu soldiers listen to the order and line up in formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Wu soldiers were seen stepping forward one after another. The infantry raised their shields, while the cavalry marched to both sides in a circle, preparing to attack Lu Bu.

Behind the shield soldiers, there was a Jing Wu soldier holding a powerful crossbow. He set up the crossbow and pointed it at Lu Bu's side.

Dian Wei and Zhao Yun both ran out, one holding a halberd and the other holding a gun. They both ran out of the camp, staring at Lu Bu from left to right, with strong fighting intent on their faces.

Facing Liu Qi's threat, Lu Bu felt conflicted and angry.

Frankly speaking, Liu Qi really can't be blamed for this matter. After all, the two hundred thousand stones of grain and grass were the rumors that his scouts came back from. He didn't know how much grain and grass there was in the mountains.

Twenty thousand shi of grain is actually quite a lot.

But because there was a concept of 200,000 stones of food and grass in advance, Lu Bu felt aggrieved.

Facing Liu Qi's tough attitude at this moment, Lu Bu was really in a dilemma.

To be honest, Liu Qi now has enough strength to really fight against the Jingzhou Army. Even though his main force is incomplete, Lu Bu really can't fight against Liu Qi.

After Lu Bu was behind him, Wei Xu hurriedly rode forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Don't be angry at Liu Zhenxi. Marquis Wen has no other intention. He just came to inform General Zhenxi about the details. After all, it is now rumored that Liu Xiongming of Lantian is hoarding goods here."

Two hundred thousand shi of food and grass, but in fact there are only 20,000 shi. When the emperor holds him accountable, my Marquis Wen will probably have a hard time explaining it, so he came to Liu Zhenxi to discuss and see if there is a solution?"

Liu Qi looked at Lu Bu with a half-smile.

"Is this what Marquis Wen means too?"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Lu Bu was speechless just now, but actually...this is what I really meant."

Liu Qi waved his hand and signaled the soldiers to put down their weapons, and said slowly: "This matter is easy to talk about. I will report to your majesty later and tell him the truth... Why does Marquis Wen need to go to war over such a trivial matter?"

The muscles on Lu Bu's face twitched strangely and he said: "What Liu Zhenxi said is true, I am impulsive!"

"Twenty thousand shi of grain is still grain after all, and the quantity is quite large. Marquis Wen still needs to take good care of it and transport it to Luoyang safely for His Majesty."

Lu Bu took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much Liu Zhenxi for reminding me. Mr. Lu should pay attention to it."

Liu Qi cupped his hands towards Lu Bu and said, "If Marquis Wen has nothing else to do, then Liu Qi will leave first. We will see you later."

After saying that, Liu Qi turned the horse's head and slowly rode towards the rear.

But Jing Wu soldiers led by Dian Wei and Zhao Yun did not move.

They stared closely at Lu Bu opposite them, as if hoping that Lu Bu would repent and lead his troops to attack and fight with their side.

Lu Bu seemed to be having a battle between heaven and man in his mind.

In fact, he is really determined to rush forward and have a good fight with the Jingzhou Army.

Wei Xu seemed to realize his intention, and hurriedly tugged on Lu Bu's sleeve and said: "Marquis Wen, let's go! It's not conducive to fight Liu Qi at this time. It would be okay if we were reasonable, but we are not being reasonable right now.
