Chapter 438: Changes in Xuzhou
The city of Yandu is broken, according to the distance, plus the time of delay, it has been four or five days before and after.
Then the grain and grass in Yandu will inevitably not be sent to Huainan.
Not only Yandu, but also Huaiyin sent a letter for help.
"Yandu, Huaiyin!" Le Jin fainted and was recuperating, so Xiahou Yuan temporarily replaced Le Jin to deal with government affairs.
These two places, which were the places where Cao Jun transported grain, were now all destroyed at once.
"Zilian, why doesn't there be the slightest escort and horse for this grain and grass transportation?" Xiahou Yuan asked suspiciously.
"It's not that I don't want to send soldiers and horses, it's actually Langya County, hey, don't mention it!" Lejin himself didn't know how to explain it. Langya County has not been defeated, and now there is no salt left, and Huaiyin is besieged.
He's probably going to be on the verge of doing it.
Xiahou Yuan also knew that he was talking about Lejin's sore spots, so he stopped talking.
"Report!" Just when Le Jin and Xiahou Yuan were silent, the herald came again.
Now Lejin doesn't dare to see the herald again, because this is not good news.
Fortunately, this herald is not the Xuzhou soldiers and horses he is happy to enter, but Xiahou Yuan's scout.
Just when Le Jin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the news from the scout over there made Le Jin spit out a mouthful of blood.
"General Qiyu, Peng Cheng's generation has discovered the enemy army!!"
"Peng Cheng!" Le Jin smiled bitterly, this is really blooming everywhere.
Langya County was broken, Yancheng City was broken, Huaiyin was besieged, and now even the Xuzhou governance office has traces of the enemy.
"Le Thorn History!" The scout on the side saw that Le Jin vomited blood and hurriedly cared.
"Don't call me an assassin!" Le Jin shook his head, this matter is over, he, the Lord of Thorn History, is about to do it.
And there is only one person who caused all this, and that is the Huainan Army.
It was they who made him happy to be so miserable was the Huainan Army.
The more I thought about Lejin, the more I felt aggrieved, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
"Help me up, I want to go back to Pengcheng, and I will fight to the death with Yuan Yao'er's soldiers and horses!" Le Jin is also angry, really when he is good tempered, even if it is an honest person to bully and bully, it is enough.
"Pengcheng, Yandu, Huaiyin! Not good! Xiahou Yuan suddenly shouted: "Send someone to inform the lord immediately!" Xuzhou has been unable to send grain and grass in the near future, let him prepare early! Xiahou Chun quickly reacted, these three places, those are all places where Xuzhou sends grain and grass to Huainan, and now there are wars in these three places, which is clearly for grain and grass.
"Pass on my military order, quickly allocate troops and horses, and then inform General Cao Hong to let General Cao Hong come back!" Xiahou Yuan quickly analyzed the key points of this.
"Pull out the camp? Could it be that Langya County is not fighting? Someone on the side questioned, this Langya County has been attacking for several days, and it would be a pity to give up like this.
"No more fighting!" Xiahou Yuan nodded, he looked at Langya City over there, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This Huainan army has already made a calculation when it invades Xuzhou!" ”
Langya County is probably the one who restricts him Xiahou Yuan and Cao Hong.
It takes three days to go back to Pengcheng from here, five days to Huaiyin from here, and as many as seven days to Yandu.
I'm afraid that even if he Xiahou Yuan rushes over, it will be a little too late.
Only then did Xiahou Yuan remember, why did Yuan Yao make such a stupid move and throw his men and horses in the hinterland of such an enemy, isn't this looking for death?
Now in Xiahou Yuan, this is completely a naked ploy, in order to drag him Xiahou Yuan and the tiger and leopard to ride. His divine march is still in Xuzhou, and the tigers and leopards have gone to Qingzhou.
Even if it's too late, he, Xiahou Yuan, is still going, and it's man-made.
"Zilian, Langya County will be handed over to you here!" Xiahou Yuan wants to leave by himself, but Lejin wants to stay, and Langya County can't be left alone. Otherwise, once Zhang Xun is let out, it will also be a disaster for Xuzhou.
"Miaocai, please!" Le Jin's face was a lot haggard, and now he only hoped that Xiahou Yuan could win and let Xuzhou lose a little bit, so that his responsibility could be a little less.
"Yes!" Xiahou Yuan can't give Le Jin any promises, and it's really hard to say how much he can save if he goes like this.
You can only do your best.
didn't need Xiahou Yuan's information to send it to Cao Cao's hands.
Cao Cao had already noticed that something was wrong.
"Are you saying that there is not much food and grass in the army?" Cao Cao asked the grain officer on the side.
"Yes!" The grain official said to Cao Cao very honestly.
"How much is left?"
"It's only enough for the army for five more days!" The grain official said to Cao Cao.
"Five days?" Cao Cao's brows furrowed: "Where is the grain and grass?" How can there be only these grains and grasses! Are you corrupt? ”
"Back to the lord, it's not corruption, but in fact, there is no longer a grain team from Xuzhou for many days!" The grain official said aggrievedly.
"How many days have you stopped sending grain and grass?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "What does this Lejin want to do!" ”
Le Jin is Cao Cao's henchman, it was his old Cao Li who overrode public opinion that made Le Jin become the assassin of Xuzhou, Langya County was broken, Cao Cao did not find trouble with Le Jin, and even the accidental injury of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Xuzhou army was also suppressed by Cao Cao.
But now Lejin has not sent a food team for many days, and Lao Cao is really popular.
Hearing Cao Cao's anger, the grain governor did not dare to disobey in the slightest.
"Come here!" Cao Cao said, "Come, sit here!" Cao Cao said, pointing to a position beside him.
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"What dare you dare, this time I'm wrong with you! You deserve to sit with you, I apologize as if you! Cao Cao is also frank.
"Lord, the lord treats me as a countryman, and I will definitely repay him as a countryman!"
"Haha!" In this way, Lao Cao really likes to listen, "What is your name!" ”
"The subordinate surname is Wang, and his name is Hu!"
"Wang Hu, good name, good name!" Cao Cao touched his beard and said, "Seal the shade!" ”
"Okay, like this, I will send someone to supervise Xuzhou, you can do your grain and grass work with peace of mind, as for the shortage of grain and grass, I have an idea, noncommittal!"
"The lord can speak of it!"
"How much did you give the soldiers a day's rations and grass in the past?" Cao Cao asked about this Wang Hu.
"One person fights in the morning, noon and evening!" Wang Hu replied honestly.
"Good! From today onwards, you will fight twice a day! ”
"Ahhh Wang Hu was stunned, isn't this a joke? In this era, marching and fighting are not for any patriotism, but to eat a full meal, who will give you your life if you have no food, not to mention that the war is urgent now.
Li Dian's soldiers were on the horse, and now even the people with Yu Ban are also on board.
The Huainan army in the city resisted very fiercely.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Cao Cao looked at this Wang Hu with a smile.
"Lord, will this make those soldiers disgusted, if this is not good, it will inspire mutiny!" Wang Hu reminded Cao Cao.
"No, there will be no such soldiers under my Cao Cao!" Cao Cao seemed to be confident.
Wang Hu was still hesitating,
"Why don't you believe me?" Cao Cao said with a smile.
"No, no, no, the lord's words, I naturally believe it, and my subordinates will go back and prepare!" Wang Hu hurriedly shook his hand and said, anyway, his suggestion was made, and it didn't matter to him whether Lao Cao listened to it or not.
"Go ahead!" Cao Cao waved his hand and said.
"Subordinates retire!" The grain governor Wang Hu retreated, and when he retreated, a general rushed towards the camp tent.
Seeing this grain overseer leave, Cao Cao put away his smile, and his face showed a look of pity, "Hey, it's a pity, it's a pity!" ”
This Wang Hu is seven feet slender, and the conversation is very clear, without the slightest mistake, for the matter of grain and grass, Cao Cao also asked some, this person is also a fluent answer, he is really a talent.
"What is the pity of the lord?" Outside the camp tent, a general Cao Jun came in, none other than Dian Wei.
"I'm sorry for such a talent!"
"Talent?" Dian Wei was stunned for a moment.
"Evil, do you think it's important to be an army or a talent who is in the prime minister?" Cao Cao asked Dian Wei nonsensically.
"Of course it's an army that matters!" Dian Wei replied without even thinking about it.
"Oh? Tell me why the evil is coming? "Cao Cao also has a nature, and his Dian Wei can still distinguish between the two.
"Isn't that simple? How many people are in an army, only one person is one person, and this comparison is naturally important to an army compared to so many lives! Dian Wei said as a matter of course.
"Huh!" Cao Cao found that he was really playing the piano to the cow.
"Alright, alright, what do you have to report to you?" Cao Cao asked Dian Wei.
"Oh, I almost forgot, my lord, Xuzhou sent an urgent report!" Saying that, Dian Wei handed a letter to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao took over the urgent report from Xuzhou from Dian Wei's hands, and after reading it, Cao Cao's face became solemn: "Evil, go and call the military advisor and the sacrificial wine!" ”
"Yes!" Dian Wei also saw Cao Cao's solemn face.
Soon, all of Cao's staff and generals gathered in Cao Cao's camp.
"Everyone, look, this is an urgent report just sent from Xuzhou!" Cao Cao delivered the urgent report from Xuzhou to the people over there.
"Yandu, Huaiyin, Pengcheng!" Seeing these three cities, Guo Jia immediately reacted, "This is to cut off the grain and grass transportation of our army in Xuzhou!" ”
"How can this Yuan Yao child have soldiers and horses into my Xuzhou?" Someone on the side was puzzled, this god didn't know it, the place they were in was the only place to pass from Huainan to Xuzhou, but they didn't see such a large wave of soldiers and horses entering the country.
"They should have left the Guangling generation!" Guo Jia said that there are only a few ways to enter Xuzhou, and when Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, he also took the Guangling generation.
"Go to Guangling! How is it possible, there are hundreds of miles before and after! Besides, shouldn't their main force be in my Yanzhou! ”
"Hundreds of miles? What if they had a war horse? Guo Jia asked rhetorically.
Immediately, Guo Jia's head turned to Cao Cao over there, "Lord, we all underestimated this General Yuan Yao!" Guo Jia analyzed the problem, they had been paying attention to Yuan Yaojun's main force, but they had forgotten Yuan Yao's mobile troops.
The old Bingzhou wolf cavalry, the new robbery cavalry battalion, and the Yulin Guard, any of these three cavalry units can give the enemy a headache.
"Lord, please look, if these three soldiers and horses are dispatched together, then I Xuzhou don't want to send any grain to my camp!" Xun Yu also spoke.
"If you add Yanzhou!" Now they finally know why Yuan Yao sent troops to Yanzhou.
This is to completely block Cao Cao in Huainan.
Yuan Yao didn't have any grain or grass in those cities that he threw to Cao Cao.
"Please also ask the lord to plan for the grain and grass in advance!" People are not machines, they all have to eat food, if there is no food, even the trump card troops are vulnerable.
Cao Cao really smiled bitterly, prepare early? How did he prepare, now the food is already insufficient.
"Lord, withdraw your troops!" Someone on the side dissuaded.
"Withdraw?" Cao Cao shook his head: "Where to retreat?" If he retreats like this, where will he lose Cao Cao's face?
And Cao Cao understands one thing very well, that is, once Lao Cao withdraws his troops, then the next thing is to start a war with Yuan Shao.
The monkeys of the Yuan family all have one thing in common, that is, they are afraid of the soft and the hard.
Seeing that you Cao Cao can't even beat the little monkey, this big monkey Yuan Shao didn't pounce immediately.
As soon as this comes, his old Cao is really going to lose a lot.
"We still have a chance!" Cao Cao said, "As long as we break through this Lujiang City, as long as we get the grain and grass of this Lujiang City, we will be able to return to Yanzhou, and we will be able to get the entire Huainan in one fell swoop!" "Lao Cao is a broken axe.
