Huo Hai vaguely remembered that some teachers said when talking about the Three Kingdoms that Boss Cao made his fortune mainly by bringing capital to the various forces. In addition to the Xiahou family, the Wei family is the first investor of Boss Cao. Half of the food and wages needed by Boss Cao in the early war were provided by the Wei family.

Huo Hai poached Boss Cao's people in advance, so he naturally wanted to poach his financial backer, but now it seems that it is impossible to get the Wei family to invest in it, and robbing him may be more reliable.

To be on the safe side, Huo Hai sent Shi A and two hundred rangers to escort Chu Yu and the others back to Heishan Village, leaving more than one hundred rangers under Guo Tu and Shi A to wait for the dispatch of officials in Luoyang.

The other four generals Chu Yan, Zhao Yun, Yu Jin, and Guan Hai were all guarding Huo Hai. There were another hundred Qifeng Cavalry and the Strategy Master Tian Feng, Du Ji and Liang Xi accompanied them. The group was more than a hundred people, and the whole cavalry was rushing. The speed was very fast. They set off from Luoyang in the morning and crossed the Yellow River the next day. More than 200 miles west from Mengjin Ferry was Anyi County. This distance was only one day for Huo Hai and others.

As dusk approached, Huo Hai appeared at the gate of the Wei family and sent a message to him. Soon, the gate of the Wei family opened and Wei Kai went out to greet him in person.

After all, Huo Hai's official identity is now the largest official on the ground of Bingzhou, and he is above the prefect of various counties and the governor of Bingzhou Zhang Yi.

However, the rank of the imperial court is actually useless in the local area. The county prefect is the person responsible for the people under his rule. Although the state governor is only an inspector with a rank of 600 stones, he has great power during this period. He manages military and civilians, and also the evaluation of the county prefect is like a governor. After all, he is the only person in this state who is fully responsible to the emperor.

Therefore, in this era, the level of rank no longer represents the power. The rank of 600 straits can directly report to the court, the governor of 600 straits can be in charge of county prefects with 200 straits, the county lieutenant with 200 straits, and the miscellaneous generals, etc., have no power to report directly. They also have to obey these officials with rank of smaller than themselves. It seems to be a bit chaotic.

When Huo Hai proposed to provide some food for the army, Wei Kai was just willing to give Huo Hai a thousand stones of food, and Huo Hai also needed to send someone to transport it directly.

There was no way. The prefect of the former county dynasty had asked him for food once. Later, the governor Zhang Yi issued another order to collect food, and their Wei family gave another one. Now, Huo Hai still asked for it, which was actually a bit unreasonable.

After all, it is the spring plowing period, and the food of each family is very expensive and its own consumption is also very large. In addition, the Wei family, a military officer who came from a wild path, did not give much face, otherwise, they would have to give three or five thousand stones of grain and grass.

Huo Hai came to Anyi specifically to take advantage of Cai Yan's incident and how could he let go easily before it broke out!

"When I was in Luoyang, I heard Cai Boyi say that your second brother Zhongdao was not in good health. This time I came here not only to collect food and grass, but actually, I would help Cai Boyi to see your second brother's health." Huo Hai waited for Wei Kai to show his appearance of wanting to see off the guests and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wei Kai was shocked. Wei Zhongdao was sick, let alone Cai Yong, even the Wei Mansion did not know many servants. Where did Huo Hai know about it?

"Is Cai Boyi asking you to help my second brother see a doctor?" Wei Kai asked in confusion.

"Take a doctor? It seems that he is really sick! I'm talking about it, so let's take a look! Third brother, please come down to help Wei Zhongdao treat him." Huo Hai said with a sudden look on his face.

When Wei Kai heard this, he realized that Huo Hai was cheating on him just now.

After receiving Huo Hai's order, Zhao Yun strode out of the hall of the Wei family, shouted his fingers in his mouth, raised his head and blew a sharp whistle. After a while, the people in the Wei family saw a Taoist with a fairy spirit and a fairy crane hovering down from the sky.

"Is this an immortal?"

Some servants from the Wei Mansion who had never seen the world exclaimed. Wei Kai also strode to the yard and saw Zuo Ci jumping down from Dabai, whose wings spread more than ten meters wide, and landing steadily at an altitude of more than ten meters. With this skill, he was definitely called a paradise.

"You are Mr. Wujiao?" Wei Kai said in surprise after seeing the big white crane.

Wei Zhongdao was sick, so their Wei family naturally searched for famous doctors everywhere. Medical skills could not solve it. Naturally, they were looking for monks. The Wei family itself had monks worshipped. However, they were not good at refining alchemy to cure diseases. Therefore, it was suggested that the head of the family look for monks who were good at alchemy in Nanhua, such as the contemporary Nanhua old immortal Yu Ji, or Mr. Wujiao Zuo Ci.

However, how could ordinary people find people like Yu Ji and Zuo Ci easily? Unexpectedly, Zuo Ci would come to the Wei family by himself today.

After Zuo Ci nodded to Wei Kai, he turned to Huo Hai and asked, "What's the matter if you call me?"

"Wei Zhongdao, the second son of the Wei family, is sick, I want to ask you to see it." Huo Hai smiled.

"Please treat me?"

Zuo Ci frowned and underestimated in his heart, "You have learned the medical and martial arts chapter of Taiping Qingling yourself. Your medical skills are much better than me. Do you still need my help to see a doctor? It's almost the same to pretend to be lying to someone!"

"Yes, you must show them what you want." Huo Hai said seriously with the word "must".

Zuo Ci immediately understood what he meant when he heard this, and then nodded.

"Quick, please come out."

Wei Kai was excited to invite the servants to the person. Soon, a young man with a thin figure and an unhealthy face slowly walked to the living room.

Huo Hai looked up and knew that this guy should be the kind who lived not long ago, but Zuo Ci pretended to help someone take the pulse, look at the whites of his eyes, and look at the tongue coating. After a while, he said, "The second young master's disease should be brought from his mother's womb. If he can live to this year, it is probably all due to the Wei family's continuous use of great tonic medicines and some monks' elixirs to prosper his life. Unfortunately, no matter how much tonic medicine is used, it is probably useless for the second young master's condition."

"Ha! Mr. Wujiao has a way to treat my second brother. No matter what the price, my Wei family is willing to bear it." The direct lineage is not prosperous. This is Wei Kai's biggest heart disease. Seeing Zuo Ci shaking his head while saying that, he said anxiously.

"It's not that I don't want to save him, but the second young master's current situation is probably already ill and cannot be humane. Even if he uses pills with stronger medicine to prosper, he can only make him live for one or two more years in great pain. I am powerless." Zuo Ci shook his head and said.

His words were like a bolt from the blue, making Wei Kai and Wei Zhongdao, who had just risen in his heart, look as if they were ashamed.

However, Huo Hai interrupted at this time, "It turns out that the Second Prince of the Saint has long been unhealthy, and his life is not long. As a friend of Cai Boyi, I probably can't help but tell him about this!"

Hearing this, Wei Kai quickly reached out to stop him and said, "No, my second brother's condition must not be leaked to the outside world."

There is a saying that family scandals should not be made public. If Zuo Ci doesn't need to say anything about Wei Zhongdao's situation, the monks of the Wei family have long reached a similar conclusion. His Wei family uses a person who is inhumane and has not been long since their lives to propose marriage to the Cai family, and it is unkind to say it out.

Moreover, the Wei family, which was passed down from Confucianism, has many selfish thoughts, because Cai Yan is Cai Yong's only woman, and she will inevitably inherit Cai Yong's collection of thousands of books. The value of these books is even Huo Hai, let alone the Wei family.

If Huo Hai makes this happen, the Wei family's plans will be discovered by many interested people, and then the Wei family's reputation will be ruined.

"Cai Boji is my best friend. It's hard for you to tell me that you are like this!" Huo Hai said with a embarrassed expression.

Seeing his appearance, Wei Kai instantly understood what he meant and said, "Didn't General Huo recruit food and grass to supply military supplies? For the sake of the Han people's plan, our Wei family is willing to provide 20,000 stones of food and grass to the guards, and will organize the civilians to deliver the food directly to Yanmen Pass."

"Twenty thousand stones, but it's a little less! Governor Zhang has organized 20,000 troops to guard the pass there, and our Heishan Army has also dispatched 30,000 troops. These 50,000 soldiers have consumed more than 20,000 stones of food and grass in a month." Huo Hai continued to say in embarrassment.

"Then it's 50,000 stones, General Huo, it's spring plowing at this time. Taking out 50,000 stones of grain is already the limit of my Wei family. You might as well stop when you see it!" Wei Kai gritted his teeth.

If Huo Hai is still not satisfied, he will have to make a plan to kill him.

"Fifty thousand stones are only 50,000 stones. I would like to thank Mr. Wei for his generosity for his soldiers and the people of Bingzhou. However, the war is urgent, so I asked Mr. Wei to allocate food and grass immediately and organize the transportation of civilians. I will escort the food and grass all the way to Yanmen Pass." Huo Hai grinned.

Yes, the people still refused to leave without giving food. Wei Kai had no choice but to call the family manager to handle the matter immediately.

However, Huo Hai was a little disgusted with cheating on others for such a big blow, so he prescribed two prescriptions for Wei Zhongdao and taught him a set of Tai Chi in the elderly, so that he could practice them several times in the morning and evening, which might be helpful to his body.

Two days later, more than a thousand civilians gathered by the Wei family drove hundreds of cattle, horse and carts filled with food and began to march northward, and Huo Hai and his men set off at this time.

In fact, he stayed at the Wei family for two days not to focus on food, but to wait for his subordinates to go to Hongdong County to find Xu Huang.

So, when he led the team on the road again, there was already an extra person at the front of the queue. Xu Huang, who was carrying a big axe of more than 80 kilograms, was familiar with Bingzhou geography, so it was very appropriate for him to lead the team to escort food and grass.

"Brother, where are we going next?" After leaving, Chu Yan asked Huo Hai.

"Of course I'm going to Taiyuan to find Wang's family to collect grain." Huo Hai smiled.

"Others collect grain from others and ask the people for it, but the young master only loves to find the big clans and is not afraid of offending them. Will life be difficult in the future?" Tian Feng asked Huo Hai.

"In my territory, if I follow my policies, I will give me a way out, otherwise it will be destruction." Huo Hai said seriously.

During the national crisis, it is useless to stay if a family that does not take out food to save people.

"Did brother treat Bingzhou as our own territory?" Chu Yan said in surprise.

"Of course, so next I need you to go to Baibo Valley to find Mr. Guo to lead people north. If the Wang family is obedient, they will be the official army. Follow me to guard the pass. If the Wang family is not obedient, they will be bandits, rob the Wang family, and then be subdued and incorporated by me, and follow me to guard the pass at Yanmen Pass."

"Brother's way is really wild, but it's exciting." Chu Yan laughed, kicked the horse's stomach and started running towards Baibo Valley.
