Chapter 537: Intercepting the money and grain of Mei Dock, the suddenly wealthy Su Xuan (2nd update!)
Chen Gong heard some of Lu Bu's thoughts and understood that Lu Bu seemed to have no real heart for hegemony, just for fun.
"Hehe! Naive Lord! When you reach that position in the future, these things will be out of your control!"
"I believe you will change by then!"
Chen Gong sneered in his heart.
He didn't believe that anyone could refuse the temptation of higher power.
People will change.
"Let's not talk about this! Gongtai, I killed Dong Zhuo, I can't stay in Changancheng anymore! You also said to go to Yanzhou, so shall we set off now?"
"Lest we be late and be surrounded by Li Jue and Guo Si with their armies!"
Lu Bu said to Chen Gong.
He wasn't afraid of Li Jue and Guo Si.
He had never taken these two good-for-nothings seriously.
But if he were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Xiliang troops, no matter how strong he was, his subordinates would suffer considerable losses.
This was not something he wanted to see.
His subordinates currently were not just the 2,000 personal guards, but also the tens of thousands of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
These were all his family assets.
"Naturally!"
Chen Gong heard this and nodded affirmatively: "That is my meaning too!"
"However, I heard that Dong Zhuo's wealth is hoarded at Mei Dock. In the future, people need to eat, horses need to chew, and recruiting new troops will require a lot of money and grain!"
"My Lord, you should be very familiar with Mei Dock, right? Why don't we go quickly to take the money and grain of Mei Dock, and then head straight to Yanzhou?"
This Mei Dock hoarded the wealth Dong Zhuo swept from the entire Luoyang and the Imperial Tombs, plus a lot of money obtained from the gentry and powerful families in Changancheng.
It was definitely a huge number.
"That's right! Then let's go quickly! I'm afraid someone will get there first if we are late!"
Lu Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately summoned his troops and took Chen Gong to Mei Dock.
However, at this time at Mei Dock.
"Is this the last batch of money and grain?"
Located in a huge tunnel under Mei Dock, Jia Yi asked the last batch of secret guards and chamber of commerce members who were finishing up.
"Yes! Commander!"
A secret guard responded hurriedly.
"Report to the Commander!"
At this time, another secret guard hurried over and reported to Jia Yi: "Lu Bu brought more than 10,000 elites and is rushing toward Mei Dock! Obviously, it is also for the money and grain here!"
"In addition, Chen Gong has joined Lu Bu's command and become his chief strategist."
"Oh?"
Jia Yi heard this and raised his eyebrows slightly: "This person really made such a choice! What a pity!"
Before, after they discovered Chen Gong, it wasn't that they hadn't sent people to contact Chen Gong.
But before revealing their identities, they had already understood through their exchanges with Chen Gong that this person was a firm supporter of the gentry.
It was basically impossible for him to be used by Su Xuan.
They even had the idea of killing Chen Gong.
But after reporting to Su Xuan in the end, it was rejected by Su Xuan.
Moreover, Su Xuan also said that this person was very likely to defect to Lu Bu in the future, helping Lu Bu stir up trouble, ravaging the warlords of the Central Plains, and told Jia Yi and the others to let Chen Gong go for the time being.
Wait until it is confirmed that he will not defect to Lu Bu, then kill him directly.
"The Lord is truly a divine calculator! He could even calculate this!"
Jia Yi shook his head, then waved his hand at the secret guards and caravan personnel on the side: "Since Lu Bu is here, let's withdraw quickly!"
"In addition, those who are covering the rear should destroy the tunnel section by section, erase the traces, lest we be chased by Lu Bu and the others."
This time, just from Mei Dock, they obtained 5 million shi of grain, and the gold and silver money was no less than 3 million gold.
It was definitely a huge number.
Unfortunately, now these were all cheap for Su Xuan.
Directly making Su Xuan suddenly wealthy again.
The efficiency of the secret guards was extremely high, as if they had practiced countless times.
They quickly withdrew from under Mei Dock with carriages from the tunnel.
At the same time, the secret guards covering the rear used special calculation methods to set up some landmines, blew up the tunnel section by section, cleared the traces, and quickly moved away from here.
"Boom-boom-boom!"
When Lu Bu led his army to arrive here.
After some searching, he found that most of the money and grain in Mei Dock were empty and had all been moved away.
Only some money and things like that remained in the palace mansion.
"Damn it! Who did it so fast?"
Lu Bu looked at the empty treasury, his face gloomy, and he punched a wall until it collapsed, saying angrily.
"The traces are still new, these people should not have gone far, my Lord, let's chase! We must not let these people really transport the things away!"
Chen Gong immediately suggested. ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
