The plan has been made.

The next step is the specific implementation of the plan.

Early the next morning.

Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the military camp.

He selected 3,000 cavalrymen from his more than 30,000 men and handed them over to Guan Yu, asking him to intensify training.

At the same time, Liu Bei called the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to his side.

A death order was given to the two brothers.

That is, to make dry food that the cavalry can carry with them in the shortest possible time.

That’s right, Liu Bei was planning to send cavalry to attack Xu Du over a thousand miles.

Because a sneak attack requires speed.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not intend to let the civilians prepare food and fodder to accompany the army.

Maybe someone will say.

The army marched thousands of miles and could just get food locally.

But eating locally is too risky.

In case the soldiers eat unclean food.

This caused diarrhea among the army and even more serious illnesses.

Do my 3,000 cavalrymen still have the fighting power?

In addition, they took food from the people.

First of all, this doesn't fit with my personality.

Secondly, what if he offended the local powerful families because of the food issue, and caused them to mobilize their entire family to fight against Liu Bei and others? Facing those aggressive people, should he kill them or not?

Take all factors into consideration.

Liu Bei finally decided to let the cavalry carry dry food with them.

Mi Zhu and Mi Fang received this order.

Although I don’t know why Liu Bei did this.

But they also knew the task was arduous.

Ever since Liu Bei mentioned this mission, Mi Zhu's brows have never relaxed.

As for Mi Fang, after seeing that there was no one around, he could not help but complain:

"I thought that after returning to Xuzhou, we brothers could rest for a while!"

"I never thought that before we even had time to warm up, Uncle Liu would assign us such a difficult task!"

"Brother, why didn't we surrender to Cao Sikong in the beginning?"

"If we surrender to Cao Sikong, our Mi family will still be a powerful family in Xuzhou!"

Thinking back to the hardships I have experienced in recent years.

The more Mi Fang spoke, the more excited he became, and the angrier he became.

In the end, Mi Fang began to resent Liu Bei.

In his opinion.

My current situation is all thanks to Liu Bei!

"Snapped!"

Before Mi Fang could finish her words, Mi Zhu slapped her hard in the face.

Just when Mi Fang was about to resist, he saw Mi Zhu said solemnly:

"I know you have complaints, but is complaining useful?"

"From the moment we married my younger sister to Uncle Liu, the fate of our Mi family has been tied to Uncle Liu!"

"Although Emperor Liu is now in dire straits, I admire his way of dealing with people and things. I believe that Emperor Liu will achieve great things one day, and my Mi family will also rise to prominence one day!"

"My Mi family will definitely rise again!"

Mi Zhu said loudly.

These words seemed to be a warning to Mi Fang, and also seemed to be a warning to himself.

Mi Fang: “…”

Seeing that Mi Zhu had said this, Mi Fang stopped refutation.

He knew that his brother had gone insane.

But on second thought, it seems that the Mi family has no better choice than to follow Liu Bei to the end.

……

Five days later.

Mi Zhu found Liu Bei.

Tell Liu Bei that after his continuous visits in the past few days.

Finally, two foods were found that can be stored for a long time and are easy to carry.

"What kind of food is it???" Liu Bei asked excitedly.

"The first kind of food is Hu Bing. I heard that when the Hu people from the Western Regions came to the Central Plains to do business, they brought Hu Bing with them. They said that this Hu Bing would not go bad even if it was stored for several months!"

"The second kind of food is dried meat. It's said that this is how the Hu people of the grasslands eat it. After slaughtering cattle and sheep, they put the leftover dried meat on a rack and bake it. The dried meat made this way is not only delicious, but also lasts longer!"

Mi Zhu explained with a smile.

"If that's the case, when will the Hu pancakes and dried meat needed to sustain 3,000 cavalry for half a month be ready?"

Liu Bei said in a deep voice.

"We can make the Hu pancakes right now. As for the dried meat, we don't have that many cattle and sheep right now..."

Mi Zhu carefully considered his words.

"In that case, why not make the dried meat and just make the Hu pancakes? How long will that take?"

Liu Bei said.

"Ten days!"

Mi Zhu gave the time.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for ten days!"

Liu Bei said excitedly.

Having said that.

After seeing Mi Zhu's pair of dark panda eyes at this time.

Liu Bei couldn't help feeling apologetic.

"Zi Zhong, thank you for your hard work over the years. Don't worry, when I, Liu Bei, succeed in the future, it will be your Mi family's time to ascend to heaven!"

Liu Bei said emphatically.

"Haha... With my lord's words, no matter how hard it is, it's not hard at all!"

Mi Zhu smiled.

Looking at Liu Bei's serious expression, Mi Zhu was deeply moved.

He decided that when he returned, he would give Mi Fang a good lesson.

……

After learning from Mi Zhu the production time of Hubing.

That night.

Liu Bei called Xu Shu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others into the room.

Announced his plan in ten days.

He sent troops to attack Xu Du and recapture the emperor.

Seeing that Liu Bei was going to send troops to Xudu to recapture the emperor.

Zhang Fei's face immediately showed excitement.

"Brother, we should have done this a long time ago!"

Because of happiness, Zhang Fei was pacing back and forth in the room, with the smile on his face never stopping for a moment.

Thinking about the frustration I have suffered in the past few years, I will vent it all in the near future.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but bang his chest with his fists.

Just as Zhang Fei was getting excited about this, Liu Bei continued:

"The surprise attack on Xudu will be handled by Yunchang and me. Yide needs to stay in Qingzhou and monitor Cao Cao's movements. Who knows, you might need to make some noise in Qingzhou to attract Cao Cao's attention..."

Liu Bei's words were like a bucket of cold water.

All of Zhang Fei's enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.

"Hmph! Big brother is so partial. He gave the opportunity to become famous and make achievements to the second brother, but left the hard and tiring work to me!"

Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly.

Seeing Zhang Fei say this.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

The three of them are like brothers.

They knew that Zhang Fei must be unhappy when he said this.

But since Zhang Fei said this, it also meant that he accepted Liu Bei's arrangement.

After seeing the indignation on Zhang Fei's face, Xu Shu laughed and said:

"Third General, your mission may seem hard and tiring, but it actually carries a heavy responsibility!"

"My lord and the two generals have traveled a thousand miles. It seems like a great opportunity to make a name for yourself, but in reality, it's fraught with danger!"

"The Lord and the Second General have entrusted you with the safest mission. If you complain like this, you are betraying the Lord's good intentions!"

"Of course I know this, do I need to tell you?"

Zhang Fei grumbled and retorted.

Although the words are still dissatisfied.

But Zhang Fei's heart felt warm at this moment.

He knew that his two brothers loved him!

"Haha, hahahaha..."

Seeing Zhang Fei suddenly show an expression that only a child can have.

Hearty laughter immediately rang out in the room.
