At this time, it was the middle of winter, and there were still snowflakes outside the big tent, and the sky and the earth were already white.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the soldiers are so cold that they can't stretch out their hands and feet, let alone fight.

"Brother Xian, do you really want to break the enemy?" Cao Ang condensed and sat down opposite Liu Ping.

He knew that although Liu Ping usually laughed and scolded him, this kind of thing would not be a joke.

"Do you even say it? If you don't say anything, I'll do it," Cao Ang saw that Liu Ping was unhurried, so he rolled up his sleeves and pretended to beat someone.

"The eldest brother is also a person who has been reading military books and war strategies for a long time, why did he forget that there is a discordant plan in the military books?" Liu Ping held the hand stove, blinked and smiled.

"I naturally know the discord meter, but how do you want to use it?" Cao Ang was suddenly interested.

Cao Cao was originally a person who could not release the scroll, and as his son, it was naturally impossible not to read the military book.

The discord plan is covered in almost every military book, and if it is used well, it can provoke the enemy to fight and win without a fight.

"Actually, I have already made arrangements, I asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict to make Lei Bo Chen Lan an official in the city, with Yuan Shu's suspicions, most of them will believe that these two people have two hearts," Liu Ping said confidently.

"That's it?" Cao Ang was immediately deflated after hearing this, Liu Ping had repeatedly performed miraculous feats before, and he thought that Liu Ping could have some clever plan this time, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple operation.

He couldn't help but lean back, pouted, and said, "Can it be called a plan so simple?"

I can see through this trick at a glance, and Yuan Shu's subordinates are not without strategists, how can they be fooled like this, I think you are going to waste your efforts. ”

"Anyway, we don't have any other way right now, so why not try?" Liu Ping insisted.

"Okay, whatever you want," Cao Ang agreed lazily.

Soon the edict of the Son of Heaven arrived.

Liu Ping and Cao Ang led dozens of personal soldiers to the city, and ordered people to tie the edict appointing Lei Bo as the general of Zhennan and Chen Lan as the general of Annan to the tail of the arrow and shoot it into the city.

Not long after, Lei Bo Chen Lan appeared on the head of the city.

"Cao Ang Xiao'er An dares to use tricks," Lei Bo sneered while holding the edict in his hand: "This kind of carving insect skill can also deceive people?" It's ridiculous. ”

"General Lei is too careful, this is really because the imperial court cherishes the talents of the two generals, and is willing to recruit the two generals to serve the imperial court," Liu Ping said loudly as he sat on his horse.

"Phew! Who can't see that you're a divisive plot? Lei Bo raised the edict in his hand contemptuously and sneered.

"Now that you can see it, do you think Yuan Shu can see it?" Liu Ping said with a smile.

No matter what Lei Bo's reaction is, it is Yuan Shu that Liu Ping wants to deceive anyway, with Yuan Shu's suspicious character, even if he doesn't believe it, he can plant a thorn in his heart.

"I want to use this kind of insect seal technique to pit Lei, it's a daydream," although Lei Bo was tough on his mouth, he was shocked in his heart.

He knew the temper of His Majesty in their family, and he was usually suspicious, and he couldn't say if he really believed this edict.

Lei Bo thought for a moment, turned around and took the torch from the soldiers beside him, lit the edict, and threw it down from the city.

He did this in public to show the world that he had no intention of accepting the appointment of the Xudu court.

"So, do you think Your Majesty will believe it?" A smug smile appeared on Lei Bo's face.

"Look, I said you wasted your efforts, didn't you?" Cao Ang under the city smiled at Liu Ping, "Lei Bo was not fooled at all, and even the edict appointing him was burned in public, and when it reached Yuan Shu's ears, I am afraid that he was even more convinced of his loyalty."

Let's go, instead of making him laugh here, let's go back and warm up. ”

Liu Ping flicked his horse, winked at Cao Ang and said, "Don't worry, the show has just begun." ”

……

The palace of Shouchun was warm and pleasant, and Yuan Shu, who was wearing a crown robe, walked around in front of the throne with his hands in a righteous manner.

He is the second son of Emperor Ling's Sikong Yuan Feng, who can be said to be from a famous family, and was appointed as Henan Yin and Huben Zhonglang General as soon as he entered the official career.

At the beginning, the ten permanent servants murdered He Jin, and it was he who took the lead in raising troops into the palace to kill the eunuch He Jin to take revenge, which won him a great reputation among the corporal of the world.

With such a great name, he successfully occupied the six counties of Yangzhou, the three counties of Runan, Chen and Peiguo in Yuzhou, and the two counties of Guangling and Xiapi in Xuzhou, with 170,000 people under his command at the peak, which was the largest prince in the world at that time.

It's just that the prosperity must decline, Yuan Shu then began to go downhill, first defeated by his brother Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's joint army, the army lost most of the army, and then with Tao Qian, and finally could only retreat to both sides of the Huai River, deep cultivation of Yangzhou, layout of Jiangdong.

Now that he has established the emperor, Sun Ce of Jiangdong broke with him again, and wrote a letter to recall Zhou Yu, Wu Jing, Sun Ben and others together, and his strength can be said to have been lost again and again.

Despite this, he still did not change his habit of arrogance and lasciviousness, after all, he still had two Huai land and 60,000 troops in his hands, which was still a force to be reckoned with among the princes of the world.

But he never expected that he would draw out half of the 60,000 army and let Lei Bo Chen Lan lead the attack on the Cao army, but he was defeated by the 3,000 cavalry of the Cao army, and he could only shrink in Runan City, how could he not be angry?

"Two wastes, leading my army of 30,000 to defeat Cao Thief's 3,000," Yuan Shu stood still, gritting his teeth and said, "What is the use of me wanting such waste?" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry," Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's subordinate adviser, said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although the number of this Cao army is small, but it is indeed the elite of the Cao army, and the opponent is not done by the wise." ”

"Of course, it is common for soldiers to win and lose," Yuan Shu became even more angry, and said angrily: "What is the reason why if you lose for a while, you don't dare to fight again?"

Even if Cao's army is elite, is it possible that my army is all muddy?

There are still 10,000 soldiers under Lei Chen and the others, and they were so frightened that they became turtles with shrunken heads, how does this make the people of the world think of me? ”

Recently, he had issued several edicts in a row, urging Lei Bo Chen Lan to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Cao Jun, but these two people shirked in various ways and did not dare to go out of the city, which had already made Yuan Shu dissatisfied.

It's not terrible to lose a battle, but if you lose a battle and you're scared, then you can't talk about it.

"I heard that Xu Du had given an edict to Lei Chen and the others, could it be ......" Yuan Shu pinched his beard and groaned.

"Your Majesty, I heard that General Lei Bo has burned the edict of Xu Du in front of him, it can be seen that he has no other intentions," Yan Xiang bowed down and persuaded hard: "Besides, the Cao army is on an expedition, if it snows heavily today, it is not easy to transport grain, and the two generals Lei Bo and Chen Lan are really the best policy to hold Runan steadily." ”

In fact, Yuan Shu couldn't even see such a simple divisive plan, but he was extremely suspicious, and the defeat of the 30,000 army was killed by the 3,000 Cao army, which must have been the reason why the two generals Lei Bo Chen Lan refused to use their lives.

After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows if those two are swaying left and right between him and Xu Du, leaving a way back for themselves?

"It's not easy for Cao Jun to transport grain, is it easier for me to transport grain?" Yuan Shu rolled his eyes and said: "Give Lei Bo an order, ordering him to expel the Cao army from Runan as soon as possible, and lead the army to withdraw to Shouchun, so there is no need to transport grain." ”

In fact, Yuan Shu didn't want to allocate military rations, but this year, there was a severe drought in the Lianghuai region, and the grain harvest was poor, so Yuan Shu's military rations were naturally stretched, otherwise he would not have let the soldiers go to the river to dig snails to barely fill their stomachs.

"Wait!" He pondered a little, and then said, "Send Zhang Xun to pass the order." ”

The number one general under Yuan Shu is Ji Ling, so naturally he has to stay by his side at all times, and in addition to Ji Ling, he can count Lei Bo Chen Lan.

As for that Zhang Xun, although his force is not as good as Lei Bo Chen Lan, he is good at catering to Yuan Shu, so he is more trusted by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu did this, but in fact, he was still not worried about Lei Bo Chen Lan, so he sent Zhang Xun to spy on him.

"Your Majesty, this edict is debatable," Yan Xiang came out again to dissuade him, but Yuan Shu waved his hand and motioned for Yan Xiang not to say anything more.

When Yuan Shu was called emperor, Yan Xiang was the first to come out to dissuade him, and also quoted the story of King Wen of Zhou who owned two-thirds of the world and admonished Yin Chengchen, which made Yuan Shu very annoyed.

Therefore, now Yuan Shu no longer trusts this person.

……

In Runan City, Lei Bo and Chen Lan sat opposite each other.

"Brother Xian, do you think Your Majesty will be suspicious of the edict of Xu Du?"

Chen Lan is older than Lei Bo, and the two have a good relationship, and they are usually called brothers.

"How can Your Majesty not see through such a simple plan," Lei Bo said firmly: "Besides, I have already burned the edict of Xu Du in front of everyone, so that your Majesty can believe it."

Cao Jun's two little children, thinking that they could use such carving insect skills to separate us, it was really ridiculous. ”

"Fortunately, the virtuous brother is wise enough to burn the edict of Xu Du in public," Chen Lan nodded, and also felt that His Majesty would not be deceived by such a simple scheme.

The discord plan always has to be a little more complicated, and there are more accidents before others can believe it.

It's too simple and crude to want to separate from the next edict.

"If it snows heavily today, the road is difficult to travel, I don't know if Your Majesty's grain and grass have been issued," Chen Lan then sighed.

While there are no worries, they are not without worries.

They hurriedly led the army to aid Runan, originally thinking of a quick victory, and then quickly withdrawing the army, but now the quick battle has become a tug-of-war, and there are suddenly so many more soldiers in Runan City, and the military food is naturally insufficient.

It's just that they sent people back to urge the army to get food, but Yuan Shu ordered the two to go out of the city immediately to meet the enemy.

The two of them were defeated by the previous 30,000 troops, and now there are only 10,000 left, how dare they go out to fight again? can only be stated in the above table, and it is the best policy to defend the city.

"Your Majesty is in the rear, I don't know the difficulties of our army, the two of us were defeated before, and now we are disrespectful to the order, and we have not sent troops for a long time, I am afraid that your Majesty has been annoyed......"

At this time, the soldiers came to report, and the Shouchun messenger arrived.

The two hurriedly got up to greet each other.

At the gate of the General's Mansion, they found that the messenger turned out to be Zhang Xun, and there was no grain of grain and grass to bring, and both of them were half cold in their hearts.

"Your Majesty has sent several edicts to order the two generals to go out of the city to meet the enemy, why did the two generals resist and disobey the order?" Zhang Xun laughed at Mimi's words first.

Although Zhang Xun was smiling and reproaching, Lei Bo and Chen Lan felt shuddering.

They have all heard that this Zhang Xun is not very capable, but he is good at pandering, he is a smiling tiger, and he is an absolute confidant of His Majesty.

Now that His Majesty has sent him here, he is obviously still suspicious of himself, is he going to let Zhang Xun replace him?

Thinking of this, both of them felt chills.

"The last general has made it clear to His Majesty in the song that Cao's army is elite, and it is not wise to fight the enemy, as long as the Runan is firmly defended, Cao's army will not be able to receive food and grass, and it will retreat," Lei Bo defended.

"I see, it's really difficult for the two generals, since Your Majesty sent the last general to serve in front of you, the last general will definitely state the difficulties here, and the two generals can rest assured that they will defend the city," Zhang Xun said calmly.

Lei Bo and Chen Lan glanced at each other, they had not had a deep relationship with Zhang Xun before, and now it seems that this person is still very understanding.

It's just that although Zhang Xun didn't embarrass them, he didn't bring half a grain of military rations, and the embarrassment of lack of food in front of him was not solved at all.

The next day, Lei Bo and Chen Lan discussed in the general's mansion, and the content of the discussion was naturally military rations.

As soon as they said it, both of them were worried.

At this time, a personal soldier suddenly came in and reported to Lei Bo: "General, according to the scouts, Cao Jun has a batch of military rations, at least more than 10,000 stones, and is on the way to escort it. ”

"Cao Jun's military rations?" Lei Bo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but stand up and said, "Can the scouts find out, how many soldiers are escorted?" ”

"It is said that there are about two hundred people."

"Okay," Lei Bo touched his chin and took two steps back and forth, looked at Chen Lan in front of him and muttered: "Why don't I rob this batch of military rations, so that we can kill two birds with one stone, even if we cut off the military rations of the Cao army, we can get food again?" ”

Chen Lan thought about it, this is indeed the only way to resolve the current crisis, and if Cao Jun's food and grass are cut off, Cao Jun will naturally not be able to hold on.

The two of them have decided, and without further ado, they will quickly order three thousand elites, and the scouts will lead them to rob the grain.

They were really frightened by the elite Cao army, so they robbed a grain team escorted by 200 soldiers, and also brought more than ten times as many soldiers.

At the same time, they also informed Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun actually wanted to follow.

There is no danger in this trip, and it is a credit to rob grain and grass, how can Zhang Xun pull it down?

The 3,000 soldiers quietly went out of the southern city, made a detour, marched for three or four hours, and finally found that there were dozens of large vehicles on the official road in the heavy snow, and the flags of Cao's army were planted on the vehicles.

"Prepare for battle," Lei Bo did not dare to slack off, raised his spear and ordered.

All the soldiers suddenly became nervous, they still remembered the comrades who were wiped out by Cao's army outside Runan City.

Lei Bo led the soldiers to slowly approach the grain convoy.

"Why is something wrong, why doesn't the convoy move, and the people who escort the grain and grass?" Chen Lan couldn't help but say.

It turned out that the convoy was parked on the side of the road, but there was no one around.

"Could it be a fraud?" Lei Bo stopped his march and ordered, "Send someone over to take a look." ”

A scout quietly touched it, and after a while came back to tell that the car was indeed full of military rations, and there was nothing unusual around.

"Why is that?" Lei Bo was confused, and felt that something was wrong, but he had spent so much time and there was food there, but he couldn't move.

"Leave him alone, transport the food back first, and let the sergeant fill his stomach." Lei Bo gritted his teeth and said.

Everyone rushed to the side of the convoy, and sure enough, there was nothing abnormal, and the soldiers began to carry food back with all hands and feet.

"There are words on this grain bag!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted.

Lei Bo took a closer look, and sure enough, each cloth bag had four small words written on it: "Cao Gong gave grain".

Lei Bo sat on the horse and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and turned to Zhang Xun, who looked strange, and said embarrassedly: "This, I really don't know this."
