Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 110 The Truth
Half an hour later, Liu Yu followed the team into a dense forest, and just after entering the forest, Liu Yu felt that this place looked familiar.

It turns out that this is the location of the underground palace where Liu Yu helped Xu Rong check the entrance.

As soon as Xu Rong dug away the underworld artifact here, the mysterious wealthy businessman transported food and hid it in the underground palace. If the two had no relationship, how could they cooperate so tacitly.

Two days ago, Xu Rong pretended to be reselling the artifacts in the West Market in exchange for food and grass. Now it seems that it was just to confuse the public, so that people would not think of his relationship with the mysterious rich businessman.

The relationship between Xu Rong and the mysterious wealthy businessman was confirmed again, but Liu Yu was even more confused about why Xu Rong betrayed Dong Zhuo.

It's just that Liu Yu didn't have the time to think too much at the moment, because the team in front had already started carrying sacks to the entrance.

Liu Yu first observed the surrounding situation and found that there were not too many soldiers guarding. It is estimated that Xu Rong had withdrawn his troops to the city long ago.

After all, Xu Rong's subordinates are all Xiliang soldiers, so it is easy to leak the secrets here to Dong Zhuo.

Therefore, although these soldiers who stayed here wore the clothes of the Xiliang Army, they should actually be Jingzhou soldiers brought by Liu Biao from Nanyang.

But now there is still a point of uncertainty, how much food is stored here, is it just these 100 vehicles, or more.

If it's just a small grain storage place, it doesn't make much sense to destroy it. Only by finding the largest grain storage place is there any value for action.

How can you get a tiger cub if you don't enter the tiger's lair, it seems that only by entering the underground palace can you find out the situation.

More than 3000 people carried sacks and entered the entrance one by one. The scene was like a lively market. In addition, it was dark and difficult to distinguish. As long as you wear the same clothes, no one will care who you are.

It just so happened that Liu Yu beheaded thirteen secret sentries on the way, and took off the clothes of Xiliang soldiers when collecting the corpses.

So he put on his clothes, put on his helmet, wiped a few handfuls of dust on his face, and sneaked into the team.

"Hurry up, all of them must be moved within half an hour, and those who procrastinate will be dealt with by military law!"

The person who spoke was Liu Pan, the leader of the team. Under his urging, the soldiers only focused on hard work and stepped up their pace. No one cared about Liu Yu who suddenly jumped into the team.

Liu Yu picked up a sack and felt it with his hands to make sure that it was filled with food, and then he followed the people in front into the entrance of the underground palace.

The entrance of the underground palace is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside, and it took nearly 300 steps down the corridor until the road gradually became flat.

After walking more than 300 steps, the eyes suddenly became extraordinarily spacious, and the surrounding lights were much brighter than before.

Liu Yu looked up and saw that he had arrived at the main tomb.

The area of ​​the main tomb is very large, but the things that were originally placed in it have been cleaned up long ago, and even the place where the coffins are stored has become a place to pile up food.

Looking around, the rows of grain stacks are more than three feet high, and a rough calculation must have at least 200 million shi of grain.

One stone is equal to 120 catties. This amount of grain is almost enough to feed the entire population of Luoyang City for a year.

It seems that this is the largest grain storage base of the mysterious rich businessman.

Liu Yu once heard Wu You mention that the underground palace here is the tomb of a famous general of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the underground area is several miles in radius.

Not to mention storing millions of stones of grain, even the three thousand Jingzhou soldiers from Nanyang could all hide underground without being discovered.

These people came out day and night, Xu Rong was in the city to cover them, and every soldier was still wearing Xiliang army uniforms, no wonder it attracted the attention of other people.

Just as Liu Yu stacked the sacks in order and was about to turn around and leave, he heard Xu Rong's voice from the next row of grain stacks.

"This underground palace has a huge area, and the waterproof facilities are very good. I think it's better to transport all the grain from the other small storage points here!"

Then a relatively unfamiliar voice replied: "If it's because the rainy season is approaching, it's better not to move it or move it indiscriminately! After all...movement changes, it's better to leave less openings for Dong Zhuo's people!"

But Xu Rong said with a confident smile: "Lord Inspector, you are worrying too much, haven't there been any mistakes in the transportation these few nights! And I have already explained that no one is allowed to leak or approach this place, and in the hands of General Liu Pan With my waist card, you can also act according to my general orders in special circumstances, and there will be no problems!"

Hearing Xu Rong call that person Lord Inspector, could it be Liu Biao.

At this time, Liu Yu couldn't help but feel a little excited. The one-night operation not only found the largest grain storage location, but also allowed him to meet the mastermind behind the manipulation of the grain crisis.

So Liu Yu pretended to wipe his sweat while passing by the row of grain stacks next to him, but when he turned his head and glanced, he found three figures inside.

One of them was Xu Rong, and beside him stood a masked, well-dressed man.

The masked man had gray hair and couldn't see his face clearly, and he was wearing a bronze sword behind his back, dressed like an assassin.

Because generally people with status hang swords around their waists, only bodyguard assassins have the habit of carrying swords on their backs.

And standing directly opposite the masked man was a middle-aged man in a dark scribe uniform.

This person is eight chi tall, with a gentle and majestic appearance, he is the new governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao.

Liu Yu recognized Liu Biao.

Before Liu Biao became governor of Jingzhou, he was a minor official in the imperial court, and Liu Yu and him belonged to the same clan with the surname Liu.

Although Liu Yu interrogated the leader of the grain transportation team from the mouth of the secret sentry soldier, Liu Pan, the general of Jingzhou.

Based on Liu Pan's relationship with Liu Biao's concubine, it is deduced that the manipulator behind the mysterious rich businessman, or that the mysterious rich businessman himself may be the new governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao.

But hearing is believing, seeing is believing, now in this dark underground palace, I saw a large amount of food, and met Xu Rong and Liu Biao.

So all the mysteries about the mysterious wealthy businessman manipulating the grain price in Luoyang were finally solved.

"What are you dawdling about? There's still a lot of food to be moved up there, do you want to be lazy?"

Someone pushed Liu Yu from behind, and he staggered forward, avoiding the eyes of Xu Rong and Liu Biao.

After returning to the ground, Liu Yu escaped from the queue by taking advantage of the water, and then hid in a secret place.

"I didn't expect that the food disaster in Luoyang was actually caused by Liu Biao. If I tell the world the truth I found, I'm afraid Liu Biao...will have to withdraw from the stage of history early!"

Liu Yu was a little hesitant. Being in the same clan with the surname Liu made him feel compassion for Liu Biao, and Liu Biao was also a prince of one side and would inevitably have the attributes of the five elements, so he was a potential target for recruitment.

But unraveling the mystery of the mysterious rich businessman is the best way to gain Dong Zhuo's trust.

Only by completely gaining Dong Zhuo's trust can we have a better chance to disintegrate and divide the Xiliang Army from within.

This is the first and most important step in Liu Yu's overall plan.

Although Liu Biao's food incident was also to deal with Dong Zhuo, Liu Yu believed that his plan could not completely bring down Dong Zhuo.

The initiative still has to be held in your own hands.

So he must not change his original plan just because the mysterious rich businessman is Liu Biao.
