Chapter 371: A Quest for Reality (2)
Man Zhong got Cao Cao's order to take Cao Cao's token to go to Cao's army camp to allocate grain and grass.
When Manzhong arrived at the camp, he was first arranged to wait in a tent.
"Allocate grain and grass?" Soon a middle-aged scribe came out of the grain and grass camp with a frown.
"Mr. Gongren!" Man Zhong saw the person coming and hugged his fist at the middle-aged scribe.
This person's surname is Dong Mingzhao, the word Gongren, and he is an official of Cao Cao's army in the allocation of grain and grass.
can't see that he is a civil official in charge of logistics, so he underestimates Dong Zhao, this person is also a character, who used to be an official in the hands of Yuan Shao, and helped Yuan Shao to quell a lot of rebellions.
After that, he went to Cao Cao's side, helped Cao Cao to welcome Emperor Han Xian, and asked Cao Cao to coerce the Son of Heaven to make Dong Zhao's great merit among the princes.
This person has been Henan Yin, served as the Taishou of Wei County, and now follows the army, as a Zhonglang, responsible for the allocation and reception of grain and grass.
"Man-sama!" Dong Zhao also saw Man Chong, although his official position is higher than that of Man Chong, but Man Chong is now also a new star in Cao Ying, Dong Zhao is also a kind person, and he is naturally polite.
"Did Lord Man get the Prime Minister's order?" Dong Zhao asked Manzhong, he was irritable and died in the past few days, because there was not much grain and grass in the camp, and the supply exceeded demand, and the grain and grass that was originally transported from Xuzhou over there had been intermittent in the past few days.
Dong Zhaodu is about to go to find Cao Cao, he has already arranged the grain and grass in every place, where is there still room for it.
"Exactly! Please take a look at Mr. Gongren! Man Zhong handed him the transfer order in his hand, and Dong Zhao handed it over.
Dong Zhao opened it and took a look, and sure enough, it was Cao Cao's seal, so he ordered him Dong Zhao to allocate thousands of stones of grain and grass to Manzhong.
"Good! Come with me, Lord Man! Dong Zhao said.
"Trouble!" Man Zhong followed Dong Zhao into the camp, "I see sir, you have been frowning, has it not been going well recently?" ”
Man Pet and Dong Zhao still know each other, Man Pet asked.
"It's not recently, it's that it hasn't been going well!" Dong Zhao is also irritable, this work of grain and grass allocation is not so easy to do.
All armies must have food and grass in place, 50,000 troops, that is, ten battalions, every time the battalion is a little slower, there will be a captain to send someone to urge.
Originally, the grain road was used by those soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, but now because of the order of the lord Cao Cao, the people who transported grain and grass in Xuzhou there were less than half, and the supply of grain and grass was also less than half, and they did not get the slightest grain from the three cities in Huainan.
Can't make ends meet.
"Is there a shortage of food and grass?" Man Zhong frowned and asked, This march and war food is the first.
"It can be used for ten days and half a month! Half a month later, if this Xuzhou can no longer send grain and grass, then everyone will wait together to be hungry! Dong Zhao said some angry words.
"General Xuzhou Lejin?" Man Pet also frowned. However, Man Chong still appeased Dong Zhao, "Sir, don't worry, I'm afraid this Huainan war won't be long!" ”
"I hope so!"
"My lord, the 1,000 stone of grain and grass has been allocated!" After a long time, someone from outside came in and reported to Dong Zhao.
"Sir is leaving!" Manzhong still has a task on his body, and he doesn't say goodbye to Dong Zhao.
Man Pet took the grain and grass given by Dong Zhao and filled a cart, which was also Dong Zhao's person who helped transport it, and went in the direction of Yingshui.
In the middle of the Lujiang River, Yuan Yao got the news of the heralds, a team of Cao Cao's army transporting grain and horses, on the edge of Yingshui, saying that he would send grain and grass to Yuan Yao.
"Huh?" Yuan Yao was also puzzled, "Could it be that this Cao Cao really wants our army to form an alliance?" "Before Sun Qian sent Cao Jun to envoy Cao Jun, one of the conditions put forward was for Cao Cao to give grain and grass to everyone to form an alliance.
"Lord, this Cao Cao came to deliver grain and grass is fake, and it is true to explore the reality of our army!" Xu Shu could see Cao Jun's dynamics at a glance.
Sure enough, Yuan Yao knew that this Cao Heizi was not well-intentioned, so he couldn't help but scold. Same-sex repulsion, Cao Cao has a black heart, Liu Bei has a thick skin, and Yuan Yao has a black heart and a thick skin, Yuan Yao's logic has always been that he is shameless to others, and others must not be shameless against him.
Immediately, Yuan Yao was going to send someone to drive this Cao Cao's messenger away for him.
Tian Feng spoke, "Let's explore the reality of our army?" Hehe, since he Cao Cao wants to come, let him come and see! ”
"Mr. Yuan Hao?" Yuan Yao looked at Tian Feng, since he knew that Lao Cao was uneasy and kind, did this still lead the wolf into the room?
"Lord, if you don't let that Cao Cao come, you can let Cao Cao's bystanders clear, but if that Cao Cao's messenger comes, hehe!" Fu Zhu also said with a smile.
What they originally wanted was for Cao Cao to send an envoy, if Cao Cao was unmoved, then they would have to consider whether they were going to change their strategy again, whether they had already been discovered by Cao Cao.
"All of this is still relying on Mr. Gongyou!" Tian Feng smiled at Sun Qian and said politely.
"Mr. Yuan Hao praised it falsely." Sun Qian said modestly, Sun Gan, you can't let him give advice, but the ability to tell nonsense is still okay.
Seeing these two old men smiling over there, Yuan Yao couldn't help but shudder, Tian Feng was frustrated, one was enough, and now he was topped by two old foxes, and Lao Cao was also a tragedy.
"Pass the order down, let that Cao Cao's grain transport team cross Yingshui! But you must investigate carefully, and you must not let Cao Jun be fooled! Yuan Yao's character of being afraid of death is vividly expressed.
"Whoa!"
"Wait a minute, go with me to the army to find some old and sick people! Go to pick up Cao Cao's grain transport team! "Yuan Yao's meaning, since they want to give Cao Cao an illusion, that is, Yuan Yao's army has no food and grass, so they have to cry poor, and select some old, weak, sick and disabled people to confuse Cao Cao.
"No!" Tian Feng hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yuan Yao.
"Lord, Cao Cao is no better than ordinary people, so disguised, he will only get out of the way!" Tian Feng said to Yuan Yao, Tian Feng was already very polite when he spoke. If Yuan Yao really used the old, weak, sick and disabled, it would really be smart but mistaken by smart.
"And what do we need to prepare?" Yuan Yao asked suspiciously.
"You don't have to prepare anything!" Tian Feng told Yuan Yao.
"You don't have to prepare anything!?" Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, that's it, whatever it wants!" Frustration added.
"This, this, this?" Yuan Yao is still a little undecided, Yuan Yao knows that only the crying child has milk to eat, since you are crying poor and don't do anything, where can you drink milk?
"Lord, Cao Cao is no better than others, he is dark and wise, and there are talents like Guo Jiaxunyu under his command, and only the real can really confuse them!" Xu Shu said.
If you want to deceive others from being exposed, first of all, you have to deceive yourself, and secondly, if 90% of the lies are true, only 10% of them are made up by yourself.
In this way, you can really deceive others.
