Chapter 28 Yuan Shu is furious

Huaiyin County, Shen family.

Not long after Liu Xuan left, Qin Li and Li Lin came to see Shen Fu.

"Shen Fu, the three of us went to see Liu Xuan together. Why did he come to see you alone today?"

Grand Duke Qin was not so polite to Shen Fu.

"Are you hiding any deal with Liu Xuan from us?"

Shen Fu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Qin Taigong is worried too much. County Magistrate Liu came to me to talk about purchasing supplies. This is my Shen family's specialty."

Seeing that Qin Li and Li Lin didn't believe it, Shen Fu deliberately took out the purchase orders.

"Look, you two, this is the purchase order left by Magistrate Liu. If you have business in this area, you can take it over. I, Shen Fu, will never dare to monopolize it."

Qin Li and Li Lin took the purchase order and looked at it carefully.
Just now I believed Shen Fu’s words and said with a smile,

"Brother, I'm joking. Since it's a business matter, it doesn't matter. The three of us are Huaiyin aristocratic families, and we are connected by the same spirit. There must be no civil strife."

Shen Fu, a businessman, still did not dare to make mistakes in front of Qin Li and Li Lin.

"Qin Taigong is absolutely right."

Qin Li looked at the purchase order and muttered:

"What do you think County Magistrate Liu is doing purchasing such a large amount of supplies?"

"Is there a war?"

"Since we have purchased weapons and armor, there must be war," Li Lin, who has a military background, saw the clues from the purchase order.
"Moreover, most of the food purchased here are dry goods that are easy to preserve. Maybe the war will last for a long time."

Qin Taigong nodded when he heard this.
"I, Qin Li, have been in the officialdom for decades and have met countless people. Judging from County Magistrate Liu's actions in the past few days, this person is by no means an ordinary person and his identity is definitely not simple."

"how do I say this?"

"First of all, let's start with the three thousand personal guards."

Qin Taigong analyzed it unhurriedly.

"After that day, I did go see these three thousand personal guards. They were definitely elite troops, not like a temporary team."

"That's right, I also went to see it. If I hadn't experienced hundreds of battles, I wouldn't be able to train such a team." Li Lin interjected. He came from a military background, so his judgment on the army is naturally more reliable than the other two.

"Who can have three thousand personal guards who have experienced hundreds of battles?"

Shen Fu also joined in the analysis and began to reason about the areas he was familiar with.
"Qin Taigong is right. This person is not a refugee as rumored. Moreover, at the county government office that day, County Magistrate Liu personally denied his identity as a refugee."

Shen Fu continued,
"Just in the business war with Zhu Ting to win over the refugees, the money spent on hoarding rice flowers was at least 10 taels. In the end, Zhu Ting couldn't bear it and took the initiative to send troops to destroy the relief point. Qin Taigong was also arrested that time."

"Oh, yes, yes, please pick the key points." Qin Taigong interrupted Shen Fudao.

Shen Fu could only conclude: "This person's financial resources can overwhelm a county government."

"Three thousand personal guards, strong financial resources," Qin Taigong paced and thought, "and judging from this person's attitude towards us that day, it was completely condescending, as I expected."

Qin Taigong suddenly stopped and looked around at everyone,

"Liu Xuan must be from a higher position."

Shen Fu added, "My surname is Liu, from Huaiyang."

The three of them looked at each other with wide eyes and said in unison,
"Queen of Huaiyang!"

"That makes sense," Qin Taigong concluded, his eyes shining brightly.
"Four years ago, there was great chaos in the Jianghuai River. Huaiyang was captured by the Taishan thief Zang Ba, and the King of Huaiyang disappeared. At that time, His Majesty was still in Chang'an and had no time to take care of the affairs of the King of Huaiyang, so there is no news about the King of Huaiyang."

"At the beginning of this year, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and Huaiyang was also within his sphere of influence. If King Huaiyang is still in Huaiyang, he will be purged by Yuan Shu. Therefore, Liu Xuancai led his troops to Huaiyin."

Li Lin continued:
"Then Magistrate Liu purchased war preparation materials, weapons and armor, it must be to deal with Yuan Shu's pursuit."

"Don't forget, in the battle of Huaiyin, Liu Xuan also killed Chen Lan, who was a famous general under Yuan Shu."

Shen Fu added,
"If Magistrate Liu is really the Queen of Huaiyang, Yuan Shu will never give up. We will know if Yuan Shu attacks Huaiyin in the near future."

Qin Taigong raised his hand to interrupt Shen Fu.
"Hey, how can we just watch like this? Isn't Magistrate Liu purchasing supplies? The three of you and I will help him get this done. If he is really a descendant of the royal family, wouldn't we have a huge backer?"

"Wonderful, Qin Taigong still has the foresight."

Li Lin raised his thumb and made a decisive decision, "Let me handle the purchase of weapons and armor. There are people in our army who I can buy double for the same price."

"Okay, then Shen Fu and I will pay him more, and we will give him double the supplies on the purchase order. How about that?"

Shen Fu replied: "Just follow Qin Taigong, I will do it right away."

Shouchun, Dacheng Palace.

Yuan Shu was so angry that he smashed three luminous cups.

"Trash, they are all trash. Two thousand elite cavalry and two thousand infantry can't hold down a mob. General Chen Lan died in the battle. What do I need from you? Anyone who comes will be pushed out and beheaded by me."

In front of the main hall, dozens of soldiers were tied and kneeling on the ground.

It was the centurion under Chen Lan.

Chen Lan was originally a guilty person. Not only did he fail to complete his mission this time,
He also sent most of the four thousand elite soldiers to Huaiyin.

How could Yuan Shu not be angry?

The civil and military officials in front of the palace knew Yuan Shu's temper, and no one dared to intercede.

Dozens of centurions, as well as hundreds of returning soldiers, were all killed by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu killed hundreds of people, but his anger still lingered in his heart.

"Ji Ling."

"The minister is here."

"I order you to be the commander-in-chief and lead [-] troops to attack Huaiyin County."

"Yes."

"Remember, after the city is broken, slaughter the city for three days and leave no chickens or dogs behind."

"what?"

Ji Ling, the number one general who had killed countless people, couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this order.

Thirty thousand troops massacred the city for three days, and all the rats had to be killed.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Yan Xiang hurriedly came out of the queue and said,
"General Ji Ling is the commander-in-chief guarding Shouchun. Now Cao Cao, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei are all stationed in the northern fortress, watching with eager eyes."

"It would be inappropriate to let Ji Ling lead the army to Huaiyin to wipe out the mob at this time."

"Humph, what's wrong?" Yuan Shu said disdainfully,

"Cao Cao is heartless and courageous, Lu Bu is just a reckless man, Liu Bei only has one city of Xiaopei, and I have an army of [-] in Shouchun. How can they attack Shouchun?"

"I just want to slaughter all of Huaiyin, just to show the consequences of being against me."

Yuan Shu waved his hand,
"Ji Ling, if you set out quickly, cut off Huaiyin's retreat, and run away a mob, I will not spare you."

"Sir, obey."

Ji Ling didn't dare to hesitate anymore, got up and ordered his troops.

Huaiyin County,
It was rare for Liu Xuan to have a few free days.
The military affairs of the county were handed over to Cheng Hu, and the government affairs were assisted by Zhao Liniang. The resettlement of the refugees in the city was also carried out in an orderly manner.

To run this city well, it seems good to be a feudal bureaucrat.

Just as Liu Xuan was thinking, a pretty figure appeared next to him.

Liu Xuan took a closer look and saw that it was Sun Waner.

After Sun Waner was rescued, Zhao Liniang took care of her.

Sun Waner, who was rescued in the woods at that time, had disheveled hair and dirt on her face.

Liu Xuan didn't look too carefully.

Now her life is stable and she has good food. After dressing up a little, she realizes that Sun Waner is also pretty and has a different style from Zhao Liniang.

"My lord, Sister Liniang asked me to take the message and ask my lord to go to the martial arts field."
