Chapter 336 Strange Moves, Suspicious Tactics
In that dense valley, a huge army is packing up its belongings, and now that the Jizhou army has gathered and rushed towards Leling, it is expected that it will be possible to make peace with Yuan Shao's army in a few days.
There is no point in staying here now, since it is better to launch an army to control the nearby counties and towns, after all, after Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's exploitation again and again, not only the people but even those rich people have become very depressed, and even began to continue to squeeze profits from those people.
If Youzhou doesn't stop it, I'm afraid that the entire Pingyuan County will become the appearance of Qingzhou, full of bandits and barren fields, and there is not a single person in sight......
"Strategist! Strategist! Fa Zheng, who was taking a nap on his couch, was suddenly awakened by the sound of panicked footsteps, only to see Zhang Liao shaking the confused Fa Zheng with a look of urgency on his face.
"It's Wen Yuan! Didn't you say you should go and rest first? There is General Zhang in ambush on Leling's side, and he will definitely 'exploit' these Jizhou soldiers again! Fa Zheng rubbed his worried eyes and said in a daze.
Due to last night's night attack, he was now free to rest, but he didn't expect to be woken up by Zhang Liao again after a while.
"No! The military advisor is about to wake up, and the Jizhou army has a new move! Zhang Liao shook Fa Zheng's body again and said, his eyes full of anxiety.
"Alright! All right! I'm awake, Wenyuan, don't shake it! Fa Zheng felt Zhang Liao's persistence and said helplessly, if it weren't for the fact that it was Zhang Liao, a good friend, who shook him, Fa Zheng would even want to slap the other party in the face.
"Military division, it's not good, the Jizhou army has retreated!" Before Fa Zheng could completely wake up, Zhang Liao shouted anxiously.
Fa Zheng suddenly looked at Zhang Liao like a fool, the green tendons on his forehead flared up, and now he wasn't sure if he would wave his palm to Zhang Liao like that.
"I said Wenyuan, the Jizhou army has suffered such a big loss, you don't allow others to run! Do you still want others to stand still and pose to you! Fa Zheng said angrily, the anger in his heart was restrained again and again, and it is estimated that his mood will be greatly improved after this time.
When Zhang Liao heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "I didn't mean that, military advisor!" Be! It is the grain and grass of the Jizhou army.! ”
"Grain and grass? What happened to their food and grass? When Zhang Liao mentioned the grain and grass, Fa Zheng instantly became energetic, after all, his goal was to weaken Yuan Shao's grain and grass as much as possible!
"The food fleet of the Jizhou army has not decreased, but has increased a lot, and its marching speed has also become much faster! At this rate, it is estimated that it will arrive in Leling in less than two days! Zhang Liao said solemnly, this kind of speed always feels like he is evading something.
"What? Are they speeding up their march? That's a four-day journey! Fa Zheng also came to his senses completely, and his mind kept turning, "Did you just say that the grain carts in the team have also increased a lot?" ”
"Yes, they have made nearly fifty more on top of the original grain wagons, and it seems that they are ready to cover the real thing
Grain and grass! Zhang Liao nodded slightly, then brought a small table and placed the map on it, "And they take this road!" ”
"This road shouldn't have arrived in Leling recently! I remember one more road that was half shorter! Fa Zheng looked at the route drawn by Zhang Liao, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of difference, "Could it be that we didn't burn their grain and grass?" ”
"I think it should have burned a lot, when I burned down the granary, many Jizhou soldiers came to extinguish the fire, and even a large army came, it should be the Chun Yuqiong army you said!" Zhang Liao shook his head and said, "And after the Jizhou army, our scouts also found a lot of burned grain and grass on the same place, and its scale is enough to show that there is indeed a large amount of grain and grass burned in that granary. ”
Fa Zheng nodded slightly, "Also, I don't think I looked like a fake with that Yan Liang's expression last night, and the reaction at that time was absolutely true, and it was impossible to say that it burned down their fake granary!" ”
"But now the grain trucks in the Jizhou army are not decreasing but increasing, which makes me a little confused, it stands to reason that the more grain trucks, the slower their speed should be! Campaigns like theirs should be to reduce the number of grain trucks! Zhang Liao asked again suspiciously, "Strategist, did you say that it was because they actually had a lot of grain and grass that they used this method to confuse our sight." ”
Zhang Liao's words suddenly seemed like a slap in the face to Fa Zheng, and instantly inspired Fa Zheng, "Wen Yuan, did you say that we really didn't really burn those grains and grass!" Fa Zheng also said a little unconfidently, after all, the operation of the Jizhou Army is obviously to take the opportunity to snatch away a large number of supplies.
"Maybe.... Probably....." In the end, Zhang Liao also replied with some hesitation.
"Forget it, since they like to do things so much, then I'll do something with them once!" Fa Zheng said helplessly, "I thought I didn't have to work overtime, it seems that I thought of it!" After Fa Zheng finished speaking, he stretched his waist and said helplessly, his eyes became a little cold at this moment.
On the other side, the Jizhou army can be said to be galloping all the way on the road, and the smoke is billowing all the way, and the infantry in it is even more out of breath, if it weren't for the large number of grain and grass trucks behind him to slow down the speed, I'm afraid Yan Liang will double this speed.
"Strategist, are we really going to take this path? It's a lot farther away! Yan Liang said with some hesitation, it is already time to stop and rest in the past, but now the Jizhou army is still advancing on the road, and this time I don't know how many soldiers will lose their lives in this desperate march.
"General Yan, since we have embarked on this road, there is no need to turn back! Go faster and try to keep more deserters behind! Guo Tu rode on the war horse and said heavily, he is not a general, and such a high-intensity advance is still very unbearable for him.
In the end, Yan Liang gritted his teeth and did not speak again, but silently sped up his speed again, and the Jizhou army, which was already bitter, couldn't even cry out at this moment
, can only silently bury his head in the road so as not to be left behind by the large army.
But despite this, there were still many soldiers abandoned on the road, but these abandoned soldiers soon went into the woods on both sides without turning their heads after resting for a while, and it seemed that they were ready to become deserters.
Those Youzhou scouts who followed behind them didn't take it to heart when they saw this, after all, since the Han Dynasty Rebellion, many people have been forcibly confiscated, so there will be deserters on major battlefields, especially in the case of a rout and rapid march like the Jizhou army now, it is easy to have such a scene.
So after simply following a few people and finding that there was nothing unusual, the Youzhou scouts didn't pay attention to these 'deserters' who collapsed on both sides of the road, but what they didn't expect was that this was also the scene that Guo Tu wanted to see.
In a small valley where Chun Yuqiong was staying somewhere in the woods, there were nearly a hundred grain and grass carts stacked in it, and these grain and grass carts were specially reinforced, and even the place where the horses were pulled was more than doubled, and it seemed that they were going to be hauled by two horses.
And in addition to these grain and grass trucks and Chun Yuqiong's personal guards, there are also many embarrassed Jizhou soldiers, if those Youzhou scouts who follow the Jizhou army will definitely be shocked if they see it, without him, these soldiers are those deserters who they think have fled for their lives.
It turned out that although Guo Tu rescued a lot of grain and grass that night, the grain and grass cart was even more targeted if he followed the army, after all, although he and the others were burned grain, their overall strength was not reduced too much, and they were still under the surveillance of the scouts in Youzhou.
Therefore, instead of walking with the grain and grass on the road after that, it is better to take a dangerous move to let one of them take a small part of the soldiers to take another road and send these grains and grasses to Yuan Shao's place day and night, although these grains and grasses will definitely not be able to be saved after being discovered, but as long as they operate well here.
There is no need to worry about the grain and grass being targeted, unless there is really a traitor who reports to the Youzhou army, so in order to prevent this loophole, most of the people sent by Guo Tu this time are soldiers who are loyal to Yuan Shao, and even the personal guards they have cultivated, which directly reduces the operability of internal traitors to an extreme.
Chun Yuqiong looked at the soldiers who were constantly gathering behind him and nodded slightly, he really didn't expect Guo Tu to pay such a attention in the end, in order to cover his side, he did not hesitate to pretend that there was still a lot of grain and grass in the army, but the real situation was that those grains and grass were only enough for a few days of food for the Jizhou army, that is to say, as long as Guo Tu was surrounded, they could only be greeted by a breakthrough or death in a short time.
As soon as he thought of this, Chun Yuqiong felt that his shoulders were more burdened, with the help of such die-hard people, why worry that Yuan Shao could not unify Qingzhou from the peak, why worry that Yuan Shao could not return to Jizhou to break through Youzhou and finally dominate the world......
"Little ones! You are all those who have benefited from the Lord! Now it's time for us to repay the favor! Tonight, we must send these grains and grass to the lord's side in the shortest possible time! Chun Yuqiong said lightly, but the firmness in her tone was full of doubts.......
