    On the official road in the southeast direction of Luyang Province, a grain transportation team was walking slowly under the scorching sun.

    "Quick, let me go quickly!"

    A militia officer on horseback wiped the sweat from his forehead while turning his head loudly to urge the slow-moving food transport team.

    The Qinghe Army stayed in Luyang Province for a period of time, and almost all the food was looted by the Qinghe Army.

    Now, although the civilian army and King Ning's troops have reoccupied many towns one after another, food has become a problem that bothers them.

    ?Because the food warehouses in the towns and counties of the prefectures had been taken away by the Qinghe army, they had to transport food from far away to the occupied area to supply the defenders.

    Although they tried their best to raise food from the local people, the people's food was not enough for themselves, and these militias naturally couldn't raise it.

    Therefore, most of the food and grass for their garrisons were transported from far away.

    For this reason, they especially recruited a lot of peasants from among the common people to help them transport grain.

    These civilian men transported grain and grass under the scorching sun, and each of them was suffering unspeakably, but facing these arrogant and unreasonable soldiers, they had nothing to do, and even missed the Qinghe Army very much.

    When the grain transport team of the civilian army was walking slowly on the official road, smoke and dust suddenly rose in the sky in the distance.

    "Be alert!"

    Seeing the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, it seemed that there were cavalry coming towards this side, and the expressions of the militia officers transporting food also changed.

    There were only more than 50 militia soldiers who escorted the food, and the other 200 people were all civilian husbands.

    These civilian husbands were timid, and when they saw a large number of cavalry galloping in the distance, they were so frightened that their calves became weak.

    "My lord, it seems to be King Ning's man."

    When the cavalry in the distance rode their horses and approached, seeing their fiery red shirts, the food transport officer of the militia also heaved a long sigh of relief.

    ? Although they did not deal with the 23rd Corps of the People's Army and King Ning's men, they were still friendly forces anyway.

    There were more than a hundred red-robed cavalry in this group. They also noticed the militia grain transport team parked on the official road, reined in their horses, and stopped.

    "What are you guys doing?!"

    The leading red-robed cavalry officer raised his head and loudly asked the militia grain transport team.

    "Are you blind or something, didn't you see that we are from the grain transportation team of the 23rd Corps?"

    The military officer Yun Liang couldn't stand the other party's superior tone, so he couldn't help but turned back.

    "What are you, you dare to talk to me like that!"

    Before the officer of the civilian army's grain transport team finished speaking, the scarlet whip was slammed down with a snap.

    "You dare to hit me!"

    The grain transport officer did not expect that the other party would hit someone if he disagreed with him, covered his cheek, and flew into a rage.

    "What happened to me beating you? Did you bite me?" The red-robed cavalry officer raised his eyebrows and said provocatively.

    "You wait for me, this matter is not over with you! I will settle accounts with you later!"

    The food transport officer saw more than a hundred murderous cavalry on the other side, and knew that a good man would not suffer from immediate losses, so he just yelled and prepared to leave here first.

    "What, want to go?"

    "You can leave if you want, but leave the food."

    "Don't bully people too much!"

    "I bullied you today, why?!"

    The red-robed cavalry officer gave an order, and the cavalry behind him drew out their sabers one after another.

    "What do you want to do?!"

    "I don't want to do anything, I'm out of food, let me lend you some food."

    "you dare!"

    "Puff!"

    Before the grain transport officer could finish his words, the sharp sword had already slashed towards him with a strong wind, bloody arrows flew, and a huge head was thrown out.

    Those militia soldiers who were in charge of escorting food did not expect the other side to be so overbearing and arrogant, and they would use knives if they disagreed.

    The militia soldiers also drew out their sabers one after another, but the red-robed cavalry quickly surrounded them.

    "If you don't want to die, get out, I'll count to three."

    Seeing these militia soldiers holding swords in their hands and looking at each other, the red-robed cavalry officer sternly said.

    "one"

    "two"

    Before the red-robed cavalry officer counted to three, These militia soldiers all dropped their swords and fled directly into the distance.

    Because these militia soldiers are not fools, their chief has already been killed, and they don't want to be scapegoats.

    "Let's go too!"

    Seeing those peasants lying on the ground trembling with fright, the red-robed cavalry officer gave an order.

    These civilian husbands quickly escaped as if they were pardoned.

    "What a bunch of cowards."

    The red-robed cavalry officer couldn't help but smile when he saw that the militia soldiers and civilian husbands had fled.

    "My lord, what should I do with the food?"

    Seeing the carts of grain, a red-robed cavalry asked.

    "Take it to a nearby village and distribute it to the people."

    "No!"

    In fact, these red-robed cavalry were not from King Ning, but rangers from the Qinghe Army in disguise.

    The task they were sent back this time was very simple, that is to assist the intelligence and investigation department to create conflicts between the militia and King Ning's troops.

    When their group of cavalry pretended to be King Ning's cavalry attacking the grain transport team of the militia, there were several cavalry troops doing the same thing at the same time.

    Because the rangers they sent back were all active in units of centurions, and under the banner of King Ning, they did not arouse suspicion from others.

    When several food transport teams were attacked and the news was sent back to the headquarters of the 23rd Corps of the People's Army, the generals of the Corps were all angry.

    "Prince Ning and the others are deceiving too much!"

    "This matter cannot be left as it is, and an explanation must be sought!"

    The 23rd Corps of the People's Army quickly dispatched a deputy general to negotiate with Prince Ning's son Long Jun.

    "It's just nonsense, how could our people rob your food."

    "Hmph, I'm afraid you are the ones guarding yourselves."

    Although Long Jun didn't know if the people below acted without authorization, he was unwilling to admit it.

    "Those cavalrymen are wearing your military uniforms, and we have witnesses." The deputy general of the civilian army said angrily.

    "Who knows if you want to frame her?"

    After wrangling for more than an hour, the two parties finally broke up.

    "Go down and ask, and see which unit did it. Now is not the time to tear yourself apart with the militia. Let them restrain themselves and not cause trouble."

    After the deputy general of the civilian army left, Long Jun called a confidant officer and asked him to go down to take charge of the investigation.

    "No!"

    But before the next investigation had a result, another bad news came.

    "His Royal Highness, people from the militia raided one of our grain depots, and burned more than 20,000 bags of grain to ashes."

    "His Royal Highness, one of our patrols was ambushed by the militia, and only one was seriously injured and escaped alive."

    When Long Jun heard the report from the people below, his complexion became extraordinarily gloomy.

    "These militias are definitely taking revenge on us!"

    "Your Highness, we have to give them a hard time! Teach them a good lesson!"

    The militiamen attacked their patrols and burned their grain depots again. This was a provocation, and the generals in Prince Ning's Mansion couldn't swallow this breath.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
