Chapter 140 Cao Cao's visitation and convening a meeting
"Hahaha! The military advisor must have a good plan, so he used a few grain trucks to bluff the thief! After Zhao Yun heard the replies of several straw men, he laughed and said to Xu Shu.
"General Zhao, don't be too happy, we haven't sent grain and grass to the allied camp yet! It's not too late to be happy when you get to the camp! Xu Shu said indifferently with a smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's hurry up! After hearing this, Zhao Yun also sorted out his mood, and quickly praised the night light jade lion and took the lead and walked forward.
After this episode, Zhao Yun and the others no longer encountered any obstacles on the road, and smoothly delivered the grain and grass to the vicinity of the camp.
Guo Jia and the others were also very happy when they knew that Xu Shu and Zhao Yun were about to arrive, and they all put down their work and guarded the camp gate in anticipation.
Just when a few people were waiting impatiently, a grain transportation team finally appeared in sight.
"Hahaha! Yuanzhi, you made me wait for a while! Why, there were no problems on the way! Guo Jia looked at Xu Shu, who was in the lead, and walked forward with a laugh to grab the horse and said.
"Feng Xiao has been in good health recently!" Xu Shu also hurriedly dismounted and said to Guo Jia.
"Hahaha, I'm much easier than you in the camp!" Guo Jia said to Xu Shu with a smug face.
"Don't I know?" Xu Shu whispered disdainfully, "The dilapidated water is not so easy to solve. ”
Guo Jia looked around and found that no one noticed this, so he quietly said, "There is indeed a cat in the Bishui Pass, and I will explain it to you slowly when I go back." ”
Zhao Yun on the other side was also playing with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, a happy scene.
"Ahem, cough, Brother Fengxiao, Brother Yuan, please listen to me." At this moment, a black-faced man in armor whispered to Guo Jia and Xu Shu.
"Oh? General Cao, is there anything going on? Guo Jia said with some confusion after seeing the person who came.
"Brother Fengxiao Yuan Zhi is like this, Yuan Mengzhu doesn't know where to find out the news that the grain team was burned, so he asked me to take a look." Cao Cao whispered to the two.
After hearing this, Guo Jia also looked at Xu Shu beside him with great confusion, he had never received this news, and the grain truck behind Xu Shu was indeed a little scarce, and there was a faint worry in his eyes.
"It is true, when I led the grain team back, I met a mysterious thief on the way, they did not fight hard for our army, but ambushed and shot more than a dozen rounds of rockets to burn food, I have never seen any of them from beginning to end!" Xu Shu said meaningfully.
"Hey! I didn't expect it to be like this...."Cao Cao wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just a complicated look appeared on his face.
Guo Jia heard Xu Shu's answer, and he was slightly shocked in his heart, who did it Everyone present knew in their hearts, but they couldn't say it After all, he was still a member of the alliance before.
"General Cao, please rest assured that it is not the grain and grass that are burned, but the weeds that will be harvested on the roadside along the way." Xu Shu looked at Cao Cao's sad face and said softly.
"What? Really? After Cao Cao heard Xu Shu's words, he was overjoyed, but when he looked at the grain cart behind Xu Shu, he couldn't help but feel a trace of disappointment in his heart.
"Brother Yuan, don't lie to me, you don't have much grain and grass in this grain cart, it's half worse than we expected! Could it be that Jizhou's grain and grass are also insufficient, and this is the only one? Cao Cao said suspiciously.
"No, General Cao, you only know the food on the car, how have you ever paid attention to the food under the car." Xu Shu pointed to the bottom of the grain cart with a smile and said to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao and Guo Jia only found that the grain and grass cart behind Xu Shu was much larger and higher than before, and when Cao Cao and Guo Jia bent down, they saw a large net woven with a thick rope at the bottom of the car, and more than a dozen bags of grain and grass were firmly wrapped at the bottom of the grain cart.
"This grain truck has been transformed by me, and it will also carry grain and grass under the car, and because the vehicle is huge, putting the same amount of grain and grass as before will make people subconsciously feel that there is not much grain and grass, and I can also ensure the safe delivery of this grain and grass because of this!" Xu Shu said lightly.
"Brother Yuan's genius, he can actually think of such a plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea!" After Cao Cao heard Xu Shu's explanation, he said with admiration in his heart.
"Since our army has already sent the grain and grass to the Allied camp, then I also ask General Cao to come and give some quantity, and the officers and men of our army will go back to recuperate first." Xu Shu smiled and pointed to the tired soldiers behind him and said to Cao Cao.
"Good, good! I immediately sent for some of the grain and grass, and when I was ready, I sent it to the granary. Cao Cao's eyes rolled and he knew Xu Shu's thoughts.
There are already five factions in this allied army, and everyone wants to occupy the fragrant bun of the grain and grass officer, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's desire to not want the Youzhou soldiers to come out before, how could he hand over this position to Guo Jia and Xu Shu to take care of.
Now that the Tiger Prison Xiongguan is about to usher in the most tragic siege battle, who doesn't want to sit in the rear to preserve their strength and watch the show? Therefore, many people in the recent allied forces have been rumoring bad things about Xu Shu and Guo Jia, hoping that they will be promoted to the position of grain and grass officials.....
"Then thank you General Cao for your hard work and farewell!" Xu Shu nodded slightly, and after saluting Cao Cao, he walked towards the direction of the Bingzhou camp with the soldiers behind him.
Seeing this, Cao Cao also began to command General Yanzhou to start ordering grain and grass, putting down the grain and grass under the car and piling it on the car, Cao Cao knew that at this time, the grain and grass must not be transported back to his camp, this is a hot yam is not just a person staring at these grains and grass.
Just when Cao Cao counted the grain and grass, Guo Jia and Xu Shu also came to sit opposite each other in the Bingzhou camp, and Zhao Yun and the others also knew that they were going to talk about important matters, so they didn't bother, and walked to another camp tent to drink wine and eat meat.
"How is the situation in the Fengxiao Water Pass?" Xu Shu asked Guo Jia with some seriousness, "Can we eat it with the Bingzhou army?" ”
"It is estimated that there will be nearly 30,000 enemy troops in Bishui Pass, and they should all be cavalry, and they use day and night to go out, so it is difficult for our army scouts to find out!" Guo Jia pondered for a while and said slowly, "And there is also a master among the enemy army, who has excellent archery skills, and if we lead the troops, I am afraid that we will be easily sniped by him!" ”
"This is simple, General Zhao also has superb archery skills, and should be able to suppress each other, it should be difficult for us to succumb to the army to let the enemy find an opportunity!" Xu Shu also thought for a while and said.
"This is very good, General Guan and General Zhang also have the courage to be unsuitable, and we should have a huge advantage on this side when the time comes!" Guo Jia nodded and said.
"What about the soldier, how are you going to deal with it?" Xu Shu asked curiously, he knew that with Guo Jia's intelligence, he had already made arrangements for the enemy.
"We only have 15,000 troops now, and the enemy army has 30,000 iron cavalry, if the field battle is undoubtedly defeated, so I am ready to defend the granary, as long as we don't make mistakes!" Guo Jia said lightly, "Now there are more than 100,000 enemy troops in the Tiger Prison Xiongguan, even if we can eat this enemy army, it is useless, rather than risking to eat them, it is better to stick to the reality of hiding!" “;
"Hahahaha! Feng Xiao's words are very heartfelt, I have also thought about it on the road, and now the lord is the only one who can sit on an equal footing with Dong Zhuo, I don't want to get rid of Dong Zhuo and let the lord become another 'Dong Zhuo' Xu Shu said with a laugh.
"Report to the Advisor! General Cao had already ordered the grain and grass to be delivered to the granary, and sent the two military divisions to the Allied tent to discuss the attack on the Tiger Prison. A soldier suddenly ran into the camp tent and said to Guo Jia and Xu Shu.
"Good! Brother Yuan, then let's go and see what the alliance leader has to do! Guo Jia said to Xu Shu after hearing the soldier's words.
"General Zhao and Zhang Guan haven't seen each other for many days, they must be drinking and chatting now, let's go by ourselves!" Xu Shu nodded and said to Guo Jia.
"That's what I mean, Brother Yuan, let's go!" Guo Jia also nodded in approval of Xu Shu's words, got up and walked towards the outside of the tent.
After a while, in the big tent of the allies, the princes from all walks of life gathered together again to discuss, they were not surprised by Xu Shu's arrival, and when Xu Shu approached the camp, the soldiers who arranged at the gate of the camp reported themselves.
Originally, I thought that after Xu Shu transported the grain and grass back to the camp, he told Yuan Shao his bad words in order to get the official position of guarding the grain, but Xu Shu handed over the grain and grass to Cao Cao first, which also shattered their plans....
"Ahem, be quiet!" Yuan Shao, who was sitting in the first place, looked around and coughed lightly when he found that everyone had arrived.
Everyone present was quiet, although they all had their own careful thoughts now, but Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance and still had to give face.
"Just now, the leader of this alliance received the news that Lord Liu Zhou encountered a thief attacking the grain in the process of transporting grain, and Buxing was seriously injured and went back to Yanzhou for treatment, but the grain and grass were still saved, and sent to the camp, and the Yanzhou soldiers were handed over to General Cao to take care of first!" Yuan Shao said with a serious face.
"Fengxiao, do you say that Liu Zhoumu really met a thief? Could it be that person who did it! Xu Shu asked Guo Jia beside him in a low voice.
"It shouldn't be, the grain in this Yanzhou is not very rich, there is no reason for him to sneak attack a harmless grain team, and isn't this sending grain and grass to the camp, I'm afraid there is another plan." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "And this General Cao and Chen Liutaishou are too close." ”
Xu Shu immediately heard the meaning of Guo Jia's words, and when he raised his head to look at Zhang Miao, he found that Zhang Miao looked at Cao Cao above with a look of jealousy and dissatisfaction, and immediately sighed, "This alliance has not yet started a war, and it is difficult to achieve a big thing!" Xu Shu silently read it in his heart.
