"Is the lord trying to lure the enemy deeper?"

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said, "But my lord, Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, how can he be gullible?" Once our army cannot lure the enemy deeper, but instead loses its own morale, what should we do? ”

"What's more, after Yecheng, there is only Bowang City to defend, but there are few mountains along the way from Yecheng to Bowang, how to lure the enemy to annihilate it!"

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, he had also thought about these.

However, he must defeat Cao Cao as soon as possible, if he tries to do it slowly, once Jingzhou is in trouble, thousands of people in Xinye will be poisoned by the war.

"Yuan Zhi, with the right combination to win the odd, this battle is only dangerous. What's more, Cao Cao is greedy, how can he be indecisive when he wins such a chance. Zhang Xiu's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice.

If Yuan Shao didn't dare to do this, but the opponent was Cao Cao, and he believed that Cao Cao would not let go of this opportunity. As for how sure you are, it depends on Cai Fan.

Xu Shu pondered for a moment and did not refute.

"In this case, Shu will arrange it, but I don't know how the lord is going to force Cai Fan to rebel?"

"I already have a certain number in my heart, and Yuan Zhi doesn't need to ask more." Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, he thought about what to do last night.

"Well, let's quit."

…………

The next day, Shinno Castle.

Jia Xu looked at the letter in his hand, frowned slightly, and secretly said in his heart, Ye Cheng's grain can still be supported for 100 days, but the lord personally wrote a letter to order Cai Fan to transport grain.

Cai Fan? Could it be that the lord wants to ......

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth hooked up a touch of cruelty, and he understood it in his heart. A few months ago, when Cai Fan surrendered, Zhang Xiu said that this person might be useful, and I think this is the time.

But isn't that too risky?

However, there may be no other plan at the moment.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu said: "Come here, immediately allocate 100,000 pieces of rice, levy 8,000 people, and assist the grain supervisor to transport grain." ”

…………

Three days later, outside the castle of Shinno.

Cai Fan's demeanor was arrogant, after all, Zhang Xiu's ability to hand over the heavy task of transporting grain to him shows that he trusts him, at least his status in Zhang Xiu's heart is not low.

It also contributed to the fact that he was not in sight.

"General Cai, the military rations have been prepared, you can count them." The one who spoke was a partial general, and his face was flattering.

Cai Fan quite enjoyed this feeling, and circled around the many grain trucks, and nodded arrogantly: "Yes, yes, these military rations are from the hands of Jia Xu's military division, and they are safe to come." ”

"But what about the military advisors?"

"The general doesn't know, Jingzhou is stationed in Fancheng, and the soldiers are pointing directly at Xinye, and the military division is busy and has no time to take care of it, and I hope the general will take care of it." Biased will explain.

"That's right, okay, let's go, this batch of military rations is urgently needed on the front line!" Cai Fan didn't think much about it.

The words fell, and the general smiled flatteringly,

"General Cai, you appreciate the lord, don't forget to be here in the future! In the car, a few jars of fine wine have been prepared for the general, and the general can stay on the road to drink. ”

"Hehe," Cai Fan's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, after retreating from the enemy, I will personally promote you as the captain." ”

"Let's go!"

Looking at Cai Fan in the distance, the general had no smile on his face, and he sighed lightly, quite disdainful. If it weren't for the military advisor to let him do this, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to this kind of villain.

After three days of marching, Cai Fan still couldn't resist the temptation of fine wine, camped in advance every day, and got drunk several times, which also made the camp complain.

Three more days,

Cai Fan ordered people to camp early.

The guards beside him persuaded: "General, you can't drink anymore, there have been a lot of complaints in the camp recently, if you delay the time of military rations, I'm afraid that the Lord Guild will punish me heavily!" ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as the grain and grass arrive before the army runs out of food, the lord will only be rewarded, and there will be no punishment." Cai Fan was quite irritable and waved his hand.

"But the general,"

"Get out, I dare to say more, Lao Tzu cut you."

Just as this voice fell, a dull voice sounded, "Hmph, Cai Fan, you are so bold, do you know that transporting grain and drinking alcohol is a capital crime?" ”

As he spoke, the curtain of the tent was lifted.

Entering the camp is a partial general, but Cai Fan knows that it is one of Zhang Xiu's cronies.

Seeing this, Cai Fan woke up most of the time, and said urgently: "General Li is here, why don't you say it in advance, come on, hurry..."

"No need, you marched and drank, and the lord has already learned that the last general of the special order will come to reprimand you with thirty boards to set an example.

In addition, within three days, you must transport the grain to the Leaf City, otherwise you may not be able to protect the head of this item, so you can do it yourself. Execute. The general said with a smile.

After speaking, the guards behind him directly arrested Cai Fan and scolded the thirty boards in front of everyone.

When he was about to leave, it was already night.

In the tent,

Cai Fan's buttocks were beaten and his skin was open, and he was lying on the couch and howling non-stop at this time, and several guards were dressing Cai Fan with herbs.

"General, even if you are wrong this time, you can dedicate the city to Zhang Xiu, which can be regarded as a merit and demerit. This embroidery has beaten you like this, which is really unkind. ”

"Yes, General, and this is still one hundred and seventy or eighty miles away from Yecheng, and the grain team is only thirty miles a day, let alone three days, even if it is five days, it will be difficult to reach Yecheng!"

Cai Fan pressed the pain, and his expression became solemn.

"You don't need to say much, Zhang Xiu treats me well, and I don't think it will be unkind."

"General, the military rations are different from others, if Zhang Xiu really wants to kill you, what should the general do? What's more, now that Liu Biao is raising troops to attack, Zhang Xiu is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and he can't jump for a few days. ”

The guard whispered.

"You mean, it's the other way around?" Cai Fan was solemn, squinting and said in a deep voice.

"Well, general, at the moment, Cao Cao and Liu Biao are attacking in two ways, Zhang Xiu will be defeated, so why bother to die for him? And Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, who were the lords, so it was better to return to Cao Cao. ”

The guard said in a deep voice.

"Re-surrender to Cao Cao? But earlier I abandoned the city and surrendered, how could Cao Cao tolerate me? Cai Fan has thought about it, but he is worried in his heart, after all, Cao Cao is notoriously ruthless.

"General, you can say that surrendering Zhang Xiu is false and wronged, confusing him, but in fact, his heart is in Cao Ying. What's more, isn't your brother still under Cao Cao? When the time comes, two good words will be. ”

"That's... Cast Cao Cao? Cai Fan's eyes flashed with cunning, and he asked.

"Well, this time our army escorted the military rations, which is where the military merit lies, and taking this as a military merit and surrendering to Cao Cao will be reused, so it will be easy for the general to bow to the marquis."

"Okay, Zhang Xiu is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Cai Fan's eyes narrowed, and his five fingers clenched angrily.

"Li Zhen, you left the camp overnight and galloped through the Cao camp in the starry night, forget it, I'll go in person, you and others will find someone to replace me, and carry me on the march tomorrow, so as not to be suspicious."

Cai Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness.

"Don't worry, general, I'll understand."

Several guards said in a deep voice.

That night, Cai Fan galloped with his head wrapped in his head so as not to be recognized, but this way made his already open-skinned ass even more offended.
