Just as Chen Yang was about to go back to Lujiang, Mi Zhu took his caravan from Wuwei and headed to the Western Regions to re-expand the market.

The previous time, Mi Zhu opened the business road and before he could operate it, Guanzhong was lost and had to withdraw. This time he would not miss a great opportunity.

However, as soon as they passed by Zhangye, they encountered trouble and were intercepted by a group of more than 500 horse thieves.

There were only more than a hundred people around Mi Zhu, who could not compete with so many horse thieves and could only surrender. He gave whatever the other party wanted and did not harm his life.

Just as they were thinking this way, a sound of shouting for killing suddenly came from all around. Everyone looked up and saw a group of more than 200 soldiers rushing out, and the target was the horse thieves.

It is very difficult and very difficult to fight against 500 people in two hundred people according to normal principles.

However, in the eyes of those who suddenly appeared, it was no problem at all. They were like elite troops, killing those thugs of horse thieves without leaving any armor.

The horse thief left, Mi Zhu and the others were still worried, and those people were still worried.

They didn't know whether these people were going to plunder property or even kill people like horse thieves.

"Li Guangping, why are you?"

The frightened Mi Zhu suddenly saw the man in the lead and shouted in surprise. It turned out to be him!

"Mi Zizhong!"

Li Yuan looked at it and saw that it was Mi Zhu. He couldn't help but scream and rode his horse over.

The other people in the caravan knew Mi Zhu and the leaders of these people, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time, they should be able to save their property and life.

"You...how were you here? You've also become a horse thief. Is this a black man?"

Of course Mi Zhu knew about Lujiang. Li Yuan had betrayed Chen Yang and even wanted to catch Zier. Logically speaking, he should be in Jin State, but now he has led his troops here.

Could it be that Li Yuan was not a horse thief, but Jin State wanted to conquer the Western Regions?

Thinking of this question, Mi Zhu felt a chill. The plan might be disappointed again, and maybe it would implicate Chen Yang.

"I have nowhere to go, I can only come here. I am not a horse thief, but a horse thief who specializes in killing horse thief."

Li Yuan sighed and said, "I'm lucky to meet today. Zizhong asked me to talk to you about these things."

Why does he have nowhere to go?

Mi Zhu was full of doubts and did not dare to ask questions casually, so he could only go back with him.

The caravan members became nervous again, thinking to themselves, can they still leave alive after going to Li Yuan’s territory?

Li Yuan occupied a mountain near Zhangye. Its nature is not much different from that of a horse thief. The only difference is that he did not do anything like a horse thief.

He invited Mi Zhu to sit down, and then gave him drinks, and briefly told Mi Zhu about his recent events.

Mi Zhu believed Li Yuan's words, and he had no reason to deceive himself.

"Zi Zhong, are you going to do business in the Western Regions?"

Li Yuan asked, he had also heard about the business of the Western Regions.

"Yes, this is a plan that Zi'an once formulated, which will help us control the Western Regions in the future."

Mi Zhu nodded and said, "It's a pity that there are too many tribes and countries in the Western Regions, and they are in chaos. For example, just now, a horse thief came to intercept and plunder. Alas! Are you really not a horse thief?"

Li Yuan was already the king of the mountain. In his opinion, his behavior was similar to that of a horse thief.

If Li Yuan really wants to be a horse thief, maybe he has a good relationship with him and it will be much more convenient for him to travel to the Western Regions in the future.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "The horse thief is not what I want. I want to create a place of my own in the Western Regions, which can be regarded as repaying the general's good deeds to me. How can we cooperate with Zizhong?"

“How to cooperate?”

Mi Zhu asked in confusion.

"We will control the Western Regions together. I will control the military. If you do business, I can provide security and guarantee for your business. No horse thief dares to rob the caravan at will."

Li Yuan briefly said his thoughts for a while.

Mi Zhu thought this was feasible: "When I ask Zi'an for advice, I will decide what to do."

Whether this matter is big or small, it should be approved by Chen Yang.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't want the general to know that I am in the Western Regions. I did so many wrong things at the beginning, and it is probably difficult to go back. Zizhong, we do this secretly. After we achieve success, we will tell the general, which is a surprise."

Mi Zhu hesitated for a long time and nodded, "Okay, I promised you!"

——

Chen Yang followed Cao Ang, returned to Chang'an, then set out from Chang'an, bypassed Runan and other places, and soon returned to the vicinity of Lu'an.

Like Hefei, Lu'an resisted Shouchun's enemies within the command of the Sun family in Jiangdong and others.

As for the traitor Sun Shao, he still occupied Shouchun and continued to attack Hefei. He wanted to return to Jiangdong again, but he had never been able to break through.

"Master, we are almost at Lu'an. It's evening again. Are you going to rush into the city overnight?" Wang Yue said.

Now there are more than fifty miles away from Lu'an. At the speed of their journey, when they arrived at Lu'an City, they were afraid that it would be late at night and they would not be able to enter the city gate.

"Stay here for rest first, don't go to the city. Go back to Lujiang tomorrow." Chen Yang said.

Everyone stopped rushing to find a flat place and camped for a rest.

"General, I'll take Xiao'er."

Tara pulled Xiao'er and got off the carriage.

Yaruo didn't say anything and sat quietly beside Chen Yang.

They made a little food and started spending the night here.

But, tonight, they were not very peaceful.

"General, it's not good!"

A soldier hurriedly ran back and said, "We have to leave here as soon as possible. I just saw a scout from the Jin army. After he found us, he left immediately. I couldn't catch the other party."

Did the Jin army's scout appear nearby?

Chen Yang's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Go to Lu'an!"

Unexpectedly, I still had to go to the city in the end, so I couldn't save this little time.

However, as they had just walked for several miles, there were chaotic footsteps around them, and torches intercepted them one by one.

Chen Yang and the others followed the fire and looked at their formation. There were about 500 people coming from all directions and completely besieged them.

The team separated, a war horse came in, and the knight immediately glanced at everyone.

"Chen Zi'an?"

That person is Sun Shao.

"You are...Sun Shao?"

Chen Yang had seen him once, but he didn't expect it would be his scout.

In other words, if Sun Shao wants to change his strategy, he will start with Lu'an and then attack Shouchun?

"It's you, hahaha... very good!"

Sun Shao did not let his people do it immediately, and continued, "I once heard that Chen Zi'an was like a god, and was invincible and deserved God of War. Otherwise, you should surrender to me and fight with me in the world!"
