After not seeing Li Ru's figure, Huang Gai immediately asked Sun Jian: "Lord, do you need the last general to send someone to intercept and kill Li Ru?" ”

"No need, the public is over, Li Ru alone is not to worry, I just need to wait for General Yuan to arrive, as long as Liang County is taken, Dong Thief must return to Luoyang to hold on, by then, the princes and the alliance will arrive, can Li Ru's life still be taken by me?"

"The Admiral understands."

Besides, after Li Ru left Sun Jian's camp, for the sake of insurance, he did not rush to Xu Rongbu, which was stationed on the east side of Liang County, but went directly towards the Tiger Prison Pass.

After walking a long way, after Li Ru found that there was no stalker, he immediately sent a soldier to report to Xu Rong.

After Xu Rong received the news from Li Ru, he immediately reorganized his army and went into battle, and at the same time sent someone to contact Huaxiong in Liangxian County.

When Hua Xiong learned that Xu Rong had led reinforcements to a place one hundred and fifty miles east of Liang County, he immediately shouted hello, and then began to reorganize his army for battle.

A few days later.

Sun Jian's general, Huang Gai, hurriedly came to Sun Jian and said, "Lord, something is wrong!" ”

"Public, what's the alarm?"

"My lord, our army's food and grass are running low, and the remaining food is only enough for us to eat for three days."

"What? How so? ”

"Lord, our army's grain transport team has not been here for several days, I'm afraid that something has happened to General Yuan's side."

"No matter what the situation is, the army can't go without food for a day, I'll write a letter now and ask Demou to go to General Yuan to urge food."

As soon as the words fell, Sun Jian began to write.

After writing and loading, Sun Jian immediately sent someone to rush to Yique Pass to deliver a message to Cheng Pu.

After Cheng Pu received the letter sent by Sun Jian, he immediately hurried towards Luyang County.

After entering Luyang County, Cheng Pu rushed to Yuan Shu without any scruples.

When Yuan Shu saw Cheng Pu coming, he immediately asked with a smile: "General Cheng, why did you come to Luyang County?" ”

"Lord Yuan, my lord is fighting bloody battles on the front line, why don't you allocate military rations for my lord?"

"Is there such a thing? I'll ask. ”

"Order, let the grain transportation lawsuit Xiao come to the audience."

After passing the order, Yuan Shu said to Cheng Pu again: "General Cheng, don't be impatient, I'll find out the truth." ”

"Please Lord Yuan quickly find out that my father-in-law is about to run out of food."

"This is natural, the crusade against Dong Thief still needs the help of General Wentai."

When Yuan Shu and Cheng Pu were talking, Si Xiao finally appeared in front of Yuan Shu's eyes and saluted Yuan Shu and said, "The last general Si Xiao pays a visit to the lord." ”

"Si Xiao, you came just in time, did I send out the grain I asked you to allocate to General Sun Wentai before?"

"This ......"

"Si Xiao, do you have anything unspeakable?"

"Back to the lord, the last general has already finished counting and is ready to send it out, but the alliance leader suddenly sent someone to ask for food, and the last general had no choice but to hand over General Sun Wentai's food to the alliance leader's people first."

"Bold Sixiao, don't you know that General Sun Wentai is about to run out of food on the front line? Why don't you report to me and send the food to the alliance leader without permission? ”

"The last will be convicted! I hope that the Lord will punish him. ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, he immediately said to Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, it's not that I don't give food to General Wentai, you see, this is just a misunderstanding." ”

When Cheng Pu saw this, he immediately understood that this was Yuan Shu and Si Xiao acting, because the food of the sour jujube alliance was basically allocated by Jizhou Mu Hanfu.

Although it was a scene, Cheng Pu didn't break it, because Sun Jian was still waiting for food, so he said directly to Yuan Shu: "General Yuan, since it was a misunderstanding, then please send food quickly!" Otherwise, my lord will be defeated in a few days. ”

"General Cheng rest assured, since I understand the truth of the matter, I will order the allocation of grain and grass to General Wentai."

"In this case, the last general will retire first."

After Cheng Pu left, Yuan Shu suddenly said to the person who gave him a bad idea: "Look at it, what kind of bad idea you gave me, if Sun Wentai is defeated, then Dong Thief will not have to face our army." ”

"The minister knows that he is wrong."

"If you know it's wrong, don't go and send food to Sun Wentai."

Soon, the person who had the bad idea took Si Xiao to allocate grain and grass.

Besides, after Cheng Pu left Luyang County, he returned to Yique Pass all the way.

Then, Cheng Pu immediately ordered his subordinates to raise the grain of Yique Pass and prepare to send it to Sun Jian's camp, although these grains in the pass are a drop in the bucket, but they can alleviate Sun Jian's dilemma of having no food, so that he can support Yuan Shu's grain and grass.

After the food was raised, Cheng Pu immediately ordered a thousand soldiers under his command to leave Yique Pass and headed towards Sun Jian's camp.

Just after Cheng Pu sent troops from Yique Pass, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were also secretly planning to prepare for a night attack on Sun Jian's camp.

Back to Sun Jian.

Since he learned that there were only three days left for the surplus grain, Sun Jian ordered Huang Gai to divide and divide the three days' grain, and finally divided it into ten days' rations.

On the eighth day, when the soldiers had eaten, the soldiers finally broke out in discontent, because their rations were getting smaller and smaller, and they basically ate only a little bit of gruel.

Seeing that the soldiers showed signs of mutiny, Sun Jian immediately summoned all the soldiers and explained to everyone the reason for the lack of food, and asked them to wait a little longer.

The generals were hindered by Sun Jian's prestige, and immediately stopped making trouble.

However, what happened in Sun Jian's military camp leaked to the ears of Chenghua Xiong, because some soldiers who could not bear the hunger asked the Xiliang army to surrender.

After Hua Xiong learned that Sun Jian's military camp was short of food, he immediately understood that this was an excellent opportunity to cooperate with Xu Rong's night attack on Sun Jian's army.

Immediately, Hua Xiong immediately sent someone to contact Xu Rong and asked him to prepare for a night attack on Sun Jian's camp, while he waited for darkness with his strong soldiers and horses.

After Xu Rong received the news from Huaxiong, he immediately spied on this opportunity.

Immediately following, Xu Rong also dispatched the army to prepare for a night attack.

After dark.

Hua Xiong and Xu Rong simultaneously transferred troops and marched towards Sun Jian's main battalion.

Besides, Sun Jian couldn't eat enough because the soldiers couldn't eat, so his defense was also relaxed, after all, people had no energy when they couldn't eat enough.

After Hua Xiong led his troops to the outside of Sun Jian's camp first, he learned the lesson of the previous failed night attack, and did not attack the camp immediately, but sent people to investigate the situation first.

After the spies found out the situation in Sun Jian's camp, he immediately came back and reported: "General, the soldiers in the camp are all asleep, and the defenses around it are extremely lax. ”

"Really? Could it be that this is Sun Jian's trick again? ”

Hua Xiong immediately hesitated, because he was a little afraid that Sun Jian was deliberately leading him, but after only a short while, Hua Xiong recovered, because he thought that Xu Rongbu was also coming, even if he was tricked, he could bite Sun Jian back.

Immediately after, Hua Xiong immediately raised his sword and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order and follow me into the camp." ”

As soon as the words fell, Hua Xiong rushed into the barracks first.

This time, Sun Jian's troops failed to react in time, because the soldiers were hungry and had no energy.
